“...”Hearing Shaun talk could be really frustrating.Therefore, Catherine decided to ignore him and focused on chopping the vegetables.She perfectly julienned the potatoes into thin slices.He twitched his brows into a frown. “I can appeal to the court if you refuse to sign the divorce papers. A married couple can appeal to the judge after living separately for two years.”“Sure, let’s meet in court. But things are going to get interesting if the reporters find out we’re still married. I’m not going to be responsible for maintaining your girlfriend’s reputation again.”She replied nonchalantly.This infuriated him. “What can I do to make you sign the papers?”“Hmm, I haven’t thought about that yet.”She pushed him out of the way and began heating the pan.Once the oil was heated, she placed the julienned potatoes in, and soon, a delicious smell filled the room. She sprinkled some chopped green onions on it in the end. The presentation and smell were on point.Suddenly, Sha
Seriously?Had Shaun been starving himself in the past three years? Was he so hungry that he got himself the largest bowl in her kitchen?Catherine finally understood where Suzie got her big appetite from.“Are you planning to eat all my food?”She was annoyed at that realization. She finally had the chance to cook after returning home and this happened?“You didn’t cook enough,” he said before helping himself to the fresh and juicy shrimps. It had been so long since food could satisfy him.Shaun did not usually have a good appetite. He was also an extremely picky eater who could not even be satisfied by famous chefs. However, Catherine’s home-cooked meal was surprisingly delicious.That slightly sour julienned potato was also appetizing.Not to mention the sausages that were a little charred on the edge. He wondered where she bought the ingredients from.Soon, he finished everything in his bowl—as well as the other dishes on the table. Catherine was annoyed. “Couldn’t you h
Bang! The door kicked open out of the blue. Liam, who was working at the desk, looked up. He soon regained his composure after seeing the overcast expression on Shaun’s face.“President Hill, is there something—”Shaun punched him in the face before he could finish the sentence. Liam was caught off guard. The corners of his lips began oozing blood.The secretary by the door quickly made a phone call to Vice Director Hill in secret.“Shaun, don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you have full control over Hill Corporation. I’m also part of the family.” Liam was shaking out of rage.“Why do you think I hit you?” Shaun grabbed the other man’s collar aggressively. “You tricked me by faking Catherine’s death three years ago. Liam, have I been overly kind to you recently? I even forgave you for that time you set me up. But now you’re doing it again.”Liam twitched his lips into a cold smile. “You have the cheek to say that. You would’ve killed someone three years ago if I hadn’t
“It’s fine, Mom, don’t worry about it. He’s not going to cause trouble for me again.” Liam forced a smile. “You should go.”After Lea left, he lowered his gaze to the ground, almost breaking the pen in his hand.In fact, he was really annoyed that Shaun could gain the upper hand over him every single time. He thought about the smug and arrogant expression on Shaun’s face when he barged in to punch him today.It was time to get off work.Charlie suddenly called him. “Liam, I heard you got punched.”“Who did you hear it from?” Liam narrowed his eyes.The other person sighed. “It’s not just me. Many people from Canberra’s elite society have heard how Shaun barged into your office and punched you. There’s no such thing as secrets in this place.”Liam clenched his fingers around the phone. In Canberra, everyone took Second Young Master Hill as a joke.“Hey, at the very least, you’re the second young master of Hill Corporation. He crossed the line when he punched you. Why couldn’t he
Then Sarah would have lied to Shaun about Catherine’s depression when she convinced him to send the woman to a mental hospital.If Catherine had not ‘died’ three years ago, he might really have sent her back to a mental hospital and that would certainly drive her to actually become mad. Thinking about this was enough to make him shudder.“What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?” Sarah felt uneasy under his stare.“Sarah, did Catherine really have depression three years ago?” He suddenly looked at her seriously.The woman was flustered but she maintained her composure. “Don’t you believe me?”He lowered his gaze to the ground. “It’s not that, I just… I just think she’s really normal now, unlike someone who’s been sick before. In fact, I don’t remember checking in on her after sending her to the mental hospital.”She twitched her lips. “Actually, when she went to the hospital three years ago, I thought of giving her a proper diagnosis but I didn't dare to approach
“I had no idea that you were doing this for me. Sorry.”Sarah appeared touched yet frustrated. In actuality, she was enraged.Never did she expect her decision three years ago to force Catherine to tell the public that she had divorced Shaun would come back to bite her in the end. “Well… will she continue threatening you with this? Will she actually divorce you, then?” Tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks. “We’ve known each other for more than 20 years and we’ve been together for more than a decade. When will I finally… marry you?”“I’ll try my best to divorce her.” Shaun handed her the tissue, feeling extremely guilty. “I already have plans, so you shouldn’t overthink it.”“Okay. Oh right, how did it go today… at the hospital?” she questioned quietly.Yael consciously left them be.His handsome face fell within seconds as he kept his head low. “I’m taking some medications for it.”“That’s great.” Joy was written all over Sarah’s face.He took a few quick bites of the food
Catherine cast a sharp glance at the person who commented that. Funnily enough, it was a female shareholder named Woofe.“Director Woofe, your barks really have you living up to your name,” she said sarcastically. Director Woofe became furious when she understood the double entendre. “Chairwoman Jones, what do you mean? Am I wrong that men love a gentle and beautiful woman?”“I’ve only been away for three years but everyone thinks they can be impolite to me now, huh? Don’t forget who was the one who instructed you all to be here for this board meeting,” Catherine reminded the room that was full of people.It was Shaun.Everyone kept quiet.“Sarah, I suggest that you leave now or I’ll have Harvey drag you out,” she warned coldly. “Besides, haven’t Shaun told you? Or should I remind you again of my status?”Sarah’s beautiful face paled instantly.She knew the two of them had not divorced, thus she would naturally become the third party if Catherine told everyone the truth.“Sur
A pin-drop silence fell upon the meeting room. From Shaun’s tone, it sounded like he was giving Catherine special treatment. Was it because she was his ex-wife?Besides, the way she spoke to him made it seem like there was still something between them.Within a few minutes, the shareholders became flustered and regretted having stood up for Sarah.Oh no, it would be horrible if they were brought over to Shaun for a ‘little chat’.Director Irvine coughed dryly. “Um… We’ll respect President Hill’s decision.”“That’s right, we’ll go along with anything that President Hill says,” the rest of them echoed and nodded immediately.Sarah turned pale instantly. She had been waiting in front of the door to see Catherine get humiliated, but now it seemed she was the one feeling embarrassed instead.“Why are you still here?” Catherine suddenly turned around and waved her phone at the woman. “Didn’t you hear what Shaun said? Hurry up to hand over your things. I really don’t want to see you in
