When Shaun left, he turned on his phone and saw several missed calls.He opened WhatsApp. Half an hour ago, he had sent a message to Sarah. [I have an urgent business trip in the evening and won’t be back. Sleep early.]He held his head in pain and called Chester. “Are you asleep yet? Come out for a drink.”“I’m not free. I worked an extra night shift yesterday, and I’m very tired.” Chester refused.“Then, I’ll come over to your place,” Shaun said unhappily.“...”When he arrived at Chester’s villa, Chester was still asleep and snoring.Shaun pulled him up from the bed. “Get up and drink.”The tousled hair did not affect how handsome Chester looked. He gritted his teeth and said, “What’s up with you this time? It’s enough that you didn’t go back last night, but you’re here tonight as well. Aren’t you afraid of Sarah having foolish ideas… Wait, what’s that smell on you?”Chester was speechless. “It’s a woman’s smell. Is it Catherine?”“How do you know it’s her’s?” Shaun’s eyes
Chester looked up and told him, “Although I’ve dated many girls in the past, and outsiders know me as a playboy, I’ve always ended a relationship before starting another.”“Give me some ideas.” Shaun had always been decisive, so he was rarely this conflicted.Chester reminded, “Don’t make things hard for me. I think of Sarah as a younger sister and wish for her happiness. But to be honest, if you refuse to touch her, that’s troublesome too because you can’t keep both of them by your side. Besides, Sarah has been with you for so long, and you’ve avoided her until now. It’s troublesome no matter what.”Shaun frowned. In the end, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Chester’s again.Poor Chester accompanied him to drink all night.Shaun slept until noon the next day, and he woke up dizzy. After getting Hadley to send his clothes over, he took a shower before heading to the company. He saw a hospital along the way and thought of something. Hence, he had Hadley stop so he
The color was the same, but on him, it looked elegant and noble. It was as if he was standing on a dazzling red carpet, and no one could tear their eyes away from him.From the smoke, he lifted his clear and deep eyes.Catherine froze when her eyes met his.At that moment, the little boy in the neighbor’s house opened the door to take out the trash. He lifted his head and winked at Catherine with a smile. “Lady, you’re finally back. Your boyfriend has been waiting for you here for an hour. I saw him when I came back from school.”“He’s not my boyfriend,” Catherine said in embarrassment.“No need to be embarrassed. I saw you guys smooch last time.” The boy giggled and quickly shut the door after he finished speaking.Through the door, Catherine heard the mother reprimanding her son. “You little brat. I told you to take out the trash. What nonsense are you talking about?”“I wasn’t talking nonsense. When I was studying yesterday morning, I went downstairs with that man in the elev
“...No, but take the medicine quickly. I’ll leave after you eat it.”Shaun knew that he was acting like a scumbag, but Sarah had waited for him for more than ten years. He could not let her down again.“Fine, I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it now.” Catherine turned around agitatedly. She popped open the pill and stuffed it into her mouth, and threw the rest at his face. She shouted, “Can you get lost now?”She pushed him out and slammed the door shut.Shaun felt bad, and he stood at the door for a long time before he left in disappointment.Unbeknownst to him, Catherine had already dried her tears and prepared dinner not long after he left.After all, it took a lot of effort to act and cry for a scumbag.Once she had her meal, Freya called her all the way from the United States. “How’s the plan going?”“Okay, I guess. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I feel like I’ve been pushing too hard recently. Sarah should be making her move soon, and Damien and Melanie have been way too quiet
“Okay, I’ll bring her home.”Shaun carried Sarah, and Yael tagged along with them.When he was about to place Sarah in the car, she suddenly stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck. Amid her sobs, she said, “Don’t let go of me, Shaunic. Don’t leave me. I know I’m filthy, and that’s why you don’t want to touch me.”“No. It’s not what you think.” Shaun’s heart sank.“You don’t have to explain. I understand.” She covered his mouth. “Actually, I know you’ve slept at Catherine’s place for the past two nights. You lied to me, saying that you went on a business trip, but it’s alright. It’s my fault because I can’t satisfy you. I don’t mind being the shameful girlfriend forever as long as you’re happy. It doesn’t matter as long as I can stay by your side and see you every day when I open my eyes.“I love you. How can I possibly love you so much? When I met you for the very first time back then, I fell deeply in love with you. As long as I can marry you, I can die without r
Shaun averted his eyes without bothering to look at Catherine. He turned around and said to Yael, “Search for it and force her to sign. I’ll wait outside.”With that, he walked out.“Alright.”Yael was delighted. She had been holding a grudge against this mistress for a long time.She extended her hand and pretended to frisk her. She even took off Catherine’s knitted coat, revealing her thin camisole. Since Catherine was pressed onto the floor, much of her body was revealed.Since there were a few men beside her, Catherine lifted her head in humiliation. “You…” Before she could finish her sentence, Yael covered her mouth. Only her moans could be heard. Yael was worried that Shaun would come in, so she quickly grinned and said, “Miss Jones, don’t waste your breath scolding me. I just need to get the marriage certificate.”As Yael was speaking, she slid her hand across Catherine’s jeans and muttered, “It’s inside, right?”Once she said that, she pulled Catherine’s jeans down,
An annoyed look flashed across Yael’s eyes while the two men from Liona let go of Catherine nonchalantly. Catherine tried to stand up, but her legs were both aching and numb from being pressed for a long time. Her legs turned to jelly, and she fell.Shaun’s legs jerked as he had a sudden urge to go and support her. A moment later, however, he coldly tossed the divorce papers toward her. “Sign it and stop calling me cruel. Here’s 200 million dollars for you once we divorce.” “200 million dollars? Is it 100 million dollars per night?” Catherine sneered.Shaun became more irritated, and his tone sounded colder. “You’re overthinking it. I just don’t want you to pester me in the future. Hurry up and sign it. I don’t have all the time in the world.”“Alright.”Catherine took a pen and signed the papers.Shaun zoned out as he gazed at her hand. Ever since he learned that she was still alive, he had been talking about wanting to divorce her. Now that this moment had come, he did not f
Catherine smiled wanly and turned off the television.‘You’re happy now, but wait until the day you get married. I’ll send you a wonderful gift and let you know how it feels to fall from heaven.’...Meanwhile, on the other side.Nicola, Melanie, and Damien, who had been attacked by the public recently, were pleased to hear about the news.Nicola, in particular, laughed ferociously. “So what if Catherine is back? Shaun ended up marrying someone else anyway.”“Exactly. She even snatched Shaun from me previously. In the end, my marriage turned out to be better than hers.” Melanie’s anger simmered down.Nevertheless, Damien furrowed his brows. “The two of you should stop paying attention to trivial matters like this. What matters most now is to get Yule Corporation back as soon as possible.” Nicola gave him a disapproving look. “Don’t worry. Joel is getting weaker day by day. I’m sure he won’t focus his mind on Yule Corporation. He can probably live for another one and a half yea
