“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
Catherine shut her laptop, ready to head home.Three years had passed since she left the company but it only took her one day to get up to speed with things.She was about to unlock the front door of her home when a black shadow suddenly veiled over her. Instinctively, she lifted a leg and kicked backward.A huge hand immediately grabbed her. Shaun’s handsome face appeared as cold as ice. “Where were you planning on kicking me?”She blinked back innocently with her beautiful eyes before shifting her gaze to his crotch. “Guess?”“I think you’re asking for death.”He had been so close to dying without descendants. After suppressing the rage surging inside him, he yanked at her leg that he was holding.Catherine, who was standing on one foot, lost her balance and quickly grabbed his tie for support.Shaun was caught off guard and fell forward too.She fell backward to the ground and onto the carpet. His lips landed on hers by chance when he fell forward.The woman’s lips wer
“Shaun, what do you want? Don’t you have to go home to Sarah at this time of the night?”“Don’t you think I want that too? But after that phone call you made this morning… Catherine, you’re such a scheming woman. You embarrassed Sarah in front of everyone and you even made her cry.”Shaun had been upset since that phone call, especially after one of the shareholders called to inform him that Sarah had run out of the meeting in tears after being humiliated by Catherine. He really wished to strangle this woman to death.“Oh, you feel sorry for her?” Catherine crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I didn’t make you say those words, though.”“You… Don’t think I’m afraid simply because you’re holding our marriage certificate.” His dark eyes narrowed. “The last person who provoked me has disappeared from this world.”“Are you talking about Charity?” she said out of the blue.He looked stunned, but he quickly smoothed away the surprise. “She deserved it for trying to escape prison by
“Sir, how many would you like?”Shaun thought about it for a few seconds. “30.”That should be enough supply for a whole year. “Get me 30 bras too.”Finally, he made the payment and left the store carrying several shopping bags.Coincidentally, Joanne Harlow, the young lady of the Harlow family, was shopping nearby and took a photo of him to send to Sarah through WhatsApp. “Look at how many things Shaun has bought for you from the lingerie store. I’m so jealous of you.”...At the same time.Sarah was having a great time with Lucifer in her personal apartment.20 minutes later, she got up to check her phone. The corners of her lips twitched into a smile upon reading Joanne’s text.Shaun had never done anything like that. It seemed like he was trying to comfort her for being humiliated by Catherine today.“What are you looking at? Come join me for a bit longer,” Lucifer said before pulling her into his arms again.“No, my friend sent me a text saying Shaun’s heading home.” Sh
Shaun devoured the pasta in one go yet he was still feeling hungry.He walked to the bathroom only to find Catherine washing her clothes in the sink. On second thought, he decided to leave.The man drove past a busy street and saw a restaurant specializing in pasta. He went in and ordered from the menu yet he spat out the food after one bite. “The pasta you make tastes horrible,” he shouted angrily.“Are you here to pick a fight?” The owner of the store flew off the handle. “I’ve been running my restaurant for more than a decade and everyone here loves my pasta. You’re the first to complain.”“That’s right. The pasta here is the best in the whole neighborhood.” One of the guests could not help saying.“...”Shaun did not know what to say.What had Catherine done to his appetite?What did it matter if this owner had been running the restaurant for more than a decade? The fact remained that the food Catherine made tasted better....Seaside villa.Sarah greeted him while weari
The following dawn.Sarah secretly grabbed Shaun’s car key and sneaked into the garage to check the dashcam footage.Within seconds, she found out he had driven to somewhere called Hackett Institute twice last night.That same morning, she drove to the same place and grimaced upon seeing Catherine driving out of there.It was really Catherine.This was out of her expectations.What was the problem? She had already hypnotized Shaun to despise Catherine.It must be Catherine who refuses to stop seducing him.That b*tch!...8:30 a.m.Catherine walked into the company to find Director Irvine, Director Williams, and the other members of the board waiting for her. General Manager Wolfe looked impatient while standing by the side.“You’re all early today.”Director Irvine said after she sat down at her desk, “Do you think we can still sleep well? Three major construction companies that have collaborated with us for many years suddenly canceled their partnerships overnight. More
