After ending the phone call, Sarah got dressed and walked down the stairs. Shaun was standing in front of the French windows. His slender and beautiful fingers were wrapped around a glass of red wine. The window clearly reflected his handsome face. A man with his impeccable looks would make any woman want to do bad things to him on a night like this.A look of frustration flashed across Sarah’s face.Shaun was the most charming man she had ever seen yet he had problems in that department.“You’re going out?” He looked at her purse.“Yup, I’m going to meet my friends. I’m getting tired of this.” She tucked her hair behind her ear to reveal her sad face.His face was washed over with embarrassment. “Sorry. I promise… that I’ll see a doctor.”“Um… Sure.” She was so busy thinking about dealing with Lucifer that she merely mumbled a reply and quickly left the villa.A pin-drop silence fell upon the room. Shaun lowered his head to the ground and finished the wine in a gulp. A chubby
Joel was kicking himself. Despite having worked in the business industry for years, he still ended up barking up the wrong tree. He felt the need to make it up to Catherine in the future. He must not leave her to suffer. The next day.Catherine took Joel to a newly-opened yet reputable hospital in Canberra for a medical check-up. The check-up results were out in the morning. The doctor frowned upon looking at the report. “Mr. Yule, there are toxins in your blood.”“What?” Joel was shocked. “B-But the check-up I did three months ago showed that I was normal.”The doctor shook his head. “It’s chronic poisoning, which began to take place at least two years ago. Do you experience coughs, headaches, and chest tightness every now and then?”“Yes.” Joel quickly nodded. “I went to consult a doctor earlier. After giving me a body check-up, the doctor claimed that it could be due to the side effects of the accident and my age…”“I’m not sure why the doctor who treated you previously w
After parting with Joel, Catherine received another call.“Sarah has left.”Catherine looked at the time that read 10:00 p.m. “Tsk. It’s so late already. She’s quite capable, huh?”“Yeah.” The person on the other end laughed and said, “I wonder if Shaun can usually satisfy her.”When Catherine was about to reply, the elevator suddenly stopped on the third floor. Shaun, who was sturdily built, walked out with Hadley. He was exuding an irresistible sense of mature masculinity. When the three of them looked at each other, Shaun froze.Catherine’s pretty face turned strange after she glanced at the board behind him that read ‘andrology unit’. “He probably can’t satisfy her. I have something to deal with now. Bye.”She pressed the ‘end call’ button.As soon as Shaun heard the word ‘satisfy’, his handsome face subconsciously turned somber. “What are you looking at? I’m just here to accompany Hadley to see the doctor…”After being made a scapegoat, Hadley was speechless.He felt
“Get out.” Shaun glowered at Hadley before striding out of the elevator.There was nothing more embarrassing than coming across his ex-wife when he visited the andrology unit. Damn it!…Catherine drove to Hudson Corporation immediately after she left the hospital.After three years, the familiar faces at the front desk had already been replaced with new faces.As soon as Catherine stepped in, the receptionist immediately stopped her. “Who are you? Have you made an appointment?”“No.” Catherine took off her sunglasses, revealing her exquisitely beautiful face. “But I’d like to meet your president.”The receptionist was stunned for a moment before scoffing. “Who are you to meet our president without making an appointment in advance? Are you under the impression that our president will simply meet anyone who’s well dressed? You’re not a celebrity like Cindy Turner.”“Cindy Turner?” Catherine raised her brows.“Cindy is our company’s new ambassador. Get out,” the receptionist r
Sarah unconsciously compared herself to Catherine. No matter how much effort she put into taking care of her skin, a few wrinkles were already visible below the corners of her eyes considering that she was turning 30 soon.She finally understood why Shaun had fallen for Catherine back then.She had wondered about Catherine’s whereabouts the last few days. She was shocked to find out that Catherine’s face had been treated.Having said that, what was the point? She had complete control over Shaun now, so Catherine was considered nothing.At the thought of it, Sarah curved her mouth into a smug smile.She pretended that she did not see Catherine and directly headed to the elevator.“Where are you going, Sarah? This is my office, isn’t it?” Catherine pulled Sarah’s long hair all of a sudden.Surprisingly, Catherine was dragging Sarah down to the floor without being concerned about her own image. With that, Sarah yelled in pain.“What are you doing?” The woman in black moved nimbly
“I didn’t expect that either. She usually looks so dignified, generous, and gentle that I treated her as a goddess.”“Hey, keep it down. She’s our president. She’s going to fire us if she hears this.”“...”Sarah’s face turned ghastly. Ever since she was publicly known to be Shaun’s girlfriend, everyone had flattered her and treated her as a goddess. She had not experienced this kind of humiliation.“Catherine, I’m going to sue you for accusing me if you comment further.”“Suit yourself. I came here today to take a look at my company. I’ll organize a general meeting tomorrow. I’ll gather all the company’s shareholders here and inform each of them about it.”Catherine pointed at Sarah using her index finger, her nail painted with red nail polish. “As for you, you’ll be the first person I fire.”Sarah reacted as if she had heard a joke. She bent over and burst out laughing with tears almost coming out of her eyes. “Catherine, are you under the impression that you hold an importa
“Okay, I will. Anyway, I’m calling you without Miss Neeson’s knowledge. She asked me not to tell you,” Yael whispered, “She’s been feeling sorry about the incident three years ago. She understands that Miss Jones went through a hard time.”“She’s just too kind,” Shaun said pitifully. The instant he recalled suspecting that Sarah had lied to him about Catherine’s depression, he felt a twinge of guilt. “Having said that, Miss Neeson has been absent-minded since she met Miss Jones. I’m guessing it’s because Miss Jones claimed that you’re her husband as she’s back now. She even called Miss Neeson a mistress.”“I’ll talk to Sarah later.”Shaun was enraged by Catherine’s shameless behavior.Only after Yael hung up the call did she shift her gaze back to Sarah.“Well done,” Sarah held Yale’s hands and said pitifully, “Thank you for helping me all throughout, Yael.”“Not at all, Miss Neeson. When I made a mistake back then, you helped me cover it up. If it hadn’t been for you, Eldest Y
Shortly after Harvey left, Catherine made a video call to chat with her two children in the US.“I miss you, Mommy.” Suzie showed a tearful look on her cute round face. Nevertheless, Catherine flew into a rage as soon as she noticed some chocolate on Suzie’s mouth. “Susan Jones, you coaxed your godmother into buying you chocolate again, didn’t you?”Suzie blinked her innocent eyes. “No, Mommy. You’re accusing me. This is unreasonable!”Lucas glanced at the little drama queen speechlessly. “Please. You didn’t clean the chocolate on the edge of your mouth.”Shocked, Suzie quickly licked the chocolate on the edge of her mouth. She soon licked it clean and said innocently, “I didn’t eat it. Godmother ate some chocolate and kissed me afterward.”“...”Catherine rubbed her forehead, wondering why she had given birth to such a foodie who was good at lying.Lucas said, “Do you think Mommy will believe your stupid explanation?”“Who’s stupid now? I’m not playing with you anymore.” Suz
