“I’ve asked Freya to look after them. Wesley…”“The apartment is ready. Let me drive you there now.”With that, Wesley and Catherine got into the car.The radio in the car was broadcasting some local news. “According to an informed source, President Hill, the wealthiest man in Australia, has spent 300 million dollars on his fiancée’s wedding gown. Apparently, President Hill has prepared the dress for two years. The two of them have been in a relationship for four years and are finally getting married.”Wesley shot a glance at Catherine. Only when he noticed her calm expression did he let out a sigh of relief. “I’ve heard about it too. It seems that they’re actually getting married.”“That’s great.” Catherine looked nonchalant but was not at all upset. Ever since she was sent to the mental hospital for treatment, she had stopped loving Shaun. “I was under the impression that they’ve long since gotten married.”Wesley said, “They’ve lived together for some time, which makes it seem
Wesley patted Catherine’s head. “Go and get ready for Yule Corporation’s 30th-anniversary celebration tonight.”…Pavilion Intercontinental Hotel.A grand celebration was underway.Too many things had happened to the Yule family over the past few years.Three years ago, Joel suddenly woke up from a coma, after which he insisted on divorcing Nicola, but she objected to the idea. Later, the terms of their divorce were determined by the court. Even so, they were still responsible for their daughter, Melanie.Since Melanie married Charlie, her status had improved significantly. Not only did she become the Vice Director of Yule Corporation, but she had also developed an electronics company in collaboration with Campos Corporation. It was believed that the Yule Corporation was worth over six trillion dollars. This day marked the 30th year since Yule Corporation was established, so the company held the grandest celebration ever. It was attended by the most brilliant celebrities and we
“Thank you.” Joel patted Damien on the shoulder. He was moved. “To be honest, my health is no longer as good as it was before, so I’ll leave Yule Corporation to you and Melanie.”“It’s expected of me.”As soon as Damien said that, a commotion arose at the door.Someone yelled, “President Hill is here.”Shaun was currently the head of the Hill family and no longer the Eldest Young Master Hill he used to be. He was in a decent black double-breasted suit, which matched with a blue shirt and a bow tie. The outfit made him look well-dressed and slender. With his prominent features and exquisite face, everyone could not help but gasp at his attractiveness. The lights in the dining hall shone on him.His age did not matter. In fact, this man was like wine — the more it aged, the better it tasted. Not only was he more handsome, but he also exuded a stronger sense of elegance and authority.Attracted by his presence, Melanie watched him with admiration from a distance.She would neve
The longer Joel looked at Shaun, the more annoyed he felt. Hence, he averted his eyes and went on stage right away. He picked up the microphone and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the celebration of Yule Corporation’s 30th-anniversary. In addition to this celebration, I would like to make an important announcement here today. Throughout these years, Damien and Melanie have been handling most of the matters in the company as my condition did not allow me to do so. With that, I’d like to take this opportunity to announce that from today onwards, Melanie will take over…” “I disagree.”Someone suddenly pushed open the door of the banquet hall that was closed.Everyone looked in that direction.A woman entered the hall in a red velvet gown with a knee-length slit, revealing her snowy-white legs on a pair of high heels. Her stunning long, wavy, and brown hair fell over both sides of her shoulders. Under the illumination of the lights, she looked like a beautiful angel. Every m
“Seriously? Is that Catherine… Eldest Young Master Hill’s ex-wife?”“Yup, she’s the one.”Everyone secretly shifted their gazes to Shaun. At this moment, Shaun’s handsome face was cold and dark. His deep-set eyes were grim. Nobody knew what was on his mind.All he did was slowly take out a cigarette and lit it. Soon, the smoke obscured his prominent features. “Dad, don’t let her deceive you.” Melanie suddenly walked to him and said gently, “How can a dead person possibly come back to life? I think she only looks like Catherine. She somehow got Catherine’s former looks and came to deceive us. What’s more, Catherine’s face was disfigured.”“Exactly, Brother. You still remember how Catherine looked back then, don’t you? Even the top aesthetic doctor said that it was impossible to restore her facial appearance. You should be able to recall this, Eldest Young Master Hill.” Damien suddenly looked at Shaun, who was seated on the chair.Shaun flicked the ashes off before he rose t
“Dad, please calm down.” Catherine patted her father’s back worriedly before shifting her glance at Damien all of a sudden. “Uncle, you’re still as unfriendly as you were before. I’m also your niece, but you’re so biased toward Melanie.”Damien looked at her coldly. “Like I said. I’ll admit you’re my brother’s daughter with the DNA test report. Otherwise, I will not believe a word you said.”“I think it’s not about whether you believe me. You just don’t want me to come back for fear that my presence will threaten Melanie’s.”She smiled despite the coldness that flashed across her eyes.“Of course your presence affects my daughter. You’re just an illegitimate daughter, yet you’re hoping to get a share of the Yule Corporation,” Nicola said loudly. “My daughter Melanie has done so much for the company in recent years. It’s there for everyone to see.”“That’s right.”Some of the company’s stockholders nodded, and one of them turned to face Old Master Yule. “What do you think?”The l
“I understand that you might not believe the paternity reports. Fortunately, I came with a backup plan.”Catherine clapped once calmly and confidently.The massive screen in front suddenly lit up, revealing an inappropriate clip in high density.Damien was lying on the bed with Nicola on top of him. The two of them were doing something intimate.“Darling, look, how can my useless brother compare to me?”“You’re right. I regret it so much now. I should’ve married you from the beginning. Damien, you’re amazing.”Nicola lost her mind upon seeing that passionate scene. She rushed forward, shouting hysterically, “Stop playing it. Stop it!”The image changed on the screen.Nicola was seen lying in Damien’s arms. Her clothes were disheveled. “Damien, when’s that stupid Joel finally going to transfer the stocks to our daughter, Melanie?”“Don’t worry. I’ll try to convince him to do so on the corporation’s 30th anniversary.”“That’s great. By then, Melanie will take over the entire
”D-Damien, help me.” Intimidated by Joel’s twisted face, Nicola quickly hid behind Damien.Joel turned around to glare at his brother. “Damien, I really didn’t expect this from you. It’s heartbreaking. We’re brothers! I’ve given you everything you wanted since we were young, and this is how you repay me? You’re a monster!”“B*stard! How dare you do something disgraceful like this? Have you no shame?”Old Master Yule smashed the glass onto the ground in a fit of rage. The Yule family had become the laughing stock of the entire business industry.“Damien, I’m really disappointed in you,” Old Madam Yule said bitterly. “Nicola, I’ve misjudged you. I wouldn’t have let Joel marry you if I knew.”Nicola replied grudgingly, “I loved Joel more than anyone could imagine, so much that I had no choice but to do this so that I could marry him…”“You show your love… by carrying my brother’s child, so you can marry me?” Joel began laughing so much that tears formed in his eyes. “How unfortunate
