After they left, Harvey said furiously, “President Jones, should we teach her a lesson?”“No need, I’ve already done that,” Catherine said calmly....Half an hour later.Manager Howard was about to leave after packing up. However, when she reached the doors, there were police there to apprehend her. “Your company has lodged a police report. You’re suspected of committing embezzlement. Follow us to the police station.”“I didn’t! I don’t want to!” Manager Howard yelled. Those who had the same position as her would embezzle some money, but everyone just turned a blind eye. However, it was different if it was reported as a case for investigation. She would have to go to jail.During this period when she took Sarah’s side, she had even embezzled quite a large sum.“Stop rambling. We already have solid evidence. Let’s go.”Manager Howard was taken away very soon. The news went viral in the company.When Harvey knew about it, he looked at the busy silhouette in the office. He was u
Joseph smiled and said, “You forgot that I opened a company in Melbourne before. We became close as we were constantly working together during these few years. We came to Canberra together this time, and he insisted on coming when he heard that I was meeting up with you.”“Rin, you’re too much. I really thought you were dead at that time. You didn’t contact me as well. I’m heartbroken. If you wanted to fake your death, you should’ve asked me for help. I would’ve surely done a better job than Liam.”Chase said grumpily.“How did you know it was Liam? Did Shaun manage to look into it?” Catherine asked, raising her eyebrows.“Yes, I heard them talking about it in the group chat but I never said anything. Ever since you disappeared, I barely speak to them anymore.” Chase shook his head and lamented, “Shaun and Rodney are being played around by Sarah, and Chester hasn’t broken up with Cindy yet. It’s too shocking. What’s so good about Cindy anyway? She was just a normal singer back then
Shaun turned around. Catherine was walking out with a good-looking young man. That man was wearing jeans and a checkered shirt. His short hair was slightly curled, and he looked like a celebrity—dashing with a good fashion sense. On that guy’s arm was a beige-colored women’s windbreaker, and it was obviously Catherine’s.That woman… They were not divorced yet but she was already hooking up with other guys.A chill flashed across Shaun’s dark eyes.At that moment, Catherine spotted the group of people as well.She blinked and looked at Chase speechlessly.Chase touched his nose sheepishly.Sarah suddenly said, “Chase, the friends you mentioned just now were… them?”“Yes.” Chase simply nodded. “Rin came back. We definitely had to meet up and have a meal together. I know that you guys aren’t on good terms with each other, so we’ll be leaving first.”He waved and walked toward Catherine’s side.Cindy said reluctantly, “Since everyone knows each other, why don’t we go to the club
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the seaside villa. “You should go back first. I have an appointment with someone else to discuss some stuff.”“Why didn’t I hear that you had a prior engagement?” Sarah said, half-joking.“I forgot about it before.” Shaun lit a cigarette. He seemed absent-minded. “Don’t wait for me tonight. Sleep earlier.”Sarah gritted her teeth and forced herself to get down from the car. She wanted to say a few more sentences but what was left was only the car exhaust.She stomped her feet in frustration. She did not know why, but she had a strong feeling that Shaun would look for Catherine.Half an hour later, the sports car arrived at an oyster bar.Chase had mentioned that they were going to eat oysters just now. Chase liked this bar the most in the whole of Canberra. There was a high chance that they came here.When he pushed the door and went in, a heavenly singing voice could be heard.“I’d rather keep all the pain in my heart than forget you
“That must be her boyfriend. I’m so envious that he can date such a goddess-like woman.”“Yeah, her figure looks great too. Why don’t I have such luck?”“Uh, why did it become so cold suddenly? Was the air conditioner’s temperature lowered?”“Now that you say it, I feel quite cold too.”“...”Shaun clenched his jaw. He walked over with long strides.When Catherine, who just sat down, held up her glass to take a sip of red wine, a strong force yanked her backward all of a sudden.The red wine in the glass spilled all over the white T-shirt on her chest.The part of her shirt that got wet stuck to her chest tightly, revealing her impressive curves and the faint lines beneath.Catherine screamed. She turned back angrily and saw Shaun’s angry yet handsome face.“Shaun, are you crazy?”After glaring at him, Catherine quickly took a tissue to wipe the stains on her shirt.However, no matter how hard she wiped, it still stuck to her chest tightly. It made her shirt look transparen
Chase quickly went between the two men. “Shaun, calm down. Joseph is just joking.”“I wasn’t joking, though.” Joseph smirked.Shaun, who was being provoked again, narrowed his gaze. He sneered, “It’s too bad she’s unwilling. It’s her who refuses to get divorced now.”After he spoke, he pulled Catherine to him and stared at her sharply. “Say your thoughts. Do you want to divorce me?”Catherine grinned. “I do.”Shaun’s face stiffened. His blazing eyes looked as though he wanted to eat her alive. She had adamantly refused to get proof of divorce just a few days ago. However, now that she had another man, she wanted to leave him immediately.“But not now,” Catherine continued saying, “You and Sarah tortured me and made my life a living hell. I came back after three years, yet Sarah still did countless stupid acts. Tell her to dream on if she thinks I would surrender the position of Young Madam Hill so easily.”Joseph immediately poured a glass of wine for her and put on an affecti
Shaun, who never thought she would be so daring, got hit right in the face by the sole of her shoe.The car even rocked along with his fiery temper.“Catherine, I think you must be tired of living.” He snatched the shoe and threw it out of the window in a fury. If he were not driving at that moment, he would definitely teach her a lesson.“Who asked you to say filthy words?” Catherine felt strangely satisfied when she saw the shoe print on his handsome face. “Shaun, you lost my shoes. You have to compensate me with another pair.”Shaun sneered, “Why? You want me to compensate you with a pair of shoes for you to wear in front of Sarah and say that I bought them for you to hurt her? Catherine, what a good plan you have.”“If you don’t want to hurt her, you should let me go and not get tangled up with me over here in the middle of the night.” Catherine looked forward, and it did not seem like it was the way back to her home. “Shaun, where are you taking me?”“Inappropriate women lik
Beep beep.“...”The sound of the heart monitor could be heard continuously.Shaun could only hear a crying voice beside his ears.He struggled to open his eyes and saw Sarah’s tear-streaked face.“Shaunic, you’re awake.” Sarah stood up immediately. Rodney and Chester walked over at the same time.While looking at them, the last scene before he went unconscious flashed across his mind. He blurted out instinctively, “Where’s Catherine?”Sarah’s tear-streaked face stiffened. Rodney said furiously, “You still have the nerve to ask about her? Shaun, you lied to Sarah saying you had a meeting but you went to look for Catherine instead. What were you trying to do? The police checked the surveillance cameras. They said you two had an argument in the car and that’s why you went over the flowerbed, crashing into the wall. The fact that she tried to take control of the steering wheel while you were driving meant that she wanted you to die. The police will investigate her. She’ll be sent
