“What a b*stard Charlie is.” Nicola choked. “You can ask Damien to assist you. When you take over Yule Corporation again, the Campos family will take your side.”“Dad and I will be waiting for you, Mom,” Melanie said tearfully.…In the hospital.Catherine was accompanying Joel to receive an IV infusion.Although seeing Nicola get arrested had allowed Joel to blow off steam, his health deteriorated again because he was agitated. He had since been sent to the hospital for treatment.It did not take long for Old Master Yule and Old Madam Yule to rush to the hospital. As soon as Old Madam Yule caught sight of Joel’s situation, tears began to pour down her face. “Nicola is insane. We treated her so well over the years. The accident you were met with three years ago must be related to her. Luckily, your dad and I asked Catherine to take care of you. Otherwise…”Those words sent shivers down Old Master Yule’s spine. Now that he thought about it, he expressed his sincere gratitude to C
“Melanie, hold me and kneel.” Damien persisted.Since Damien was her biological son, Old Madam Yule could not bear to see him kneel. “Your legs are crippled. How are you going to kneel? Hurry up and stand.”“Yes, my legs are crippled.” Damien lowered his head and burst into tears. “Ever since I was born, a lot of people have looked down on me just because of my disability. I’m grateful to Brother, but at the same time, I envy him. I like Nicola, but she’s not interested in me. Over the last decade or so, I’ve never loved anyone else except for her. I do everything for her without complaining. I thought she would fall for me after she got hold of Yule Corporation, but I was wrong. Only now have I come to understand her personality. Dad, Mom, Brother, it’s my fault.”Old Madam Yule was on the verge of crying. She could not resist saying, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have given birth to you and make you suffer so much with low self-esteem.”“Dad, Mom, you guys can blame me. It’s fi
“Catherine, since I’m in the hospital, I’ll let you handle some matters for me for the time being.” Joel suddenly patted Catherine on the back of her hand. “I’ll ask Assistant Church to report to you in the future.”Catherine’s head started to hurt. “Dad, are you forcing me to manage Yule Corporation?”“How am I forcing you?” Joel stared at her earnestly. “As my daughter and the young lady of Yule Corporation, you’ll no longer be labeled as the illegitimate daughter. You deserve to be with any man in the whole of Australia. Sarah can’t compare to you either.” Joel’s intention finally hit her.A warm feeling grew in her.Needless to say, Joel must have found out that Shaun was going to get married, so he did want her to compare herself. Considering that Catherine was the Eldest Young Lady and soon-to-be successor of Yule Corporation, Sarah could not beat her in terms of honor and status. No matter how great Sarah was, she was just a psychologist. Neeson Corporation would have long
Yael smiled and said, “It was Mr. Hill who suggested doing in-vitro fertilization when he heard that you wanted to have at least two children. He was afraid that you’d have a hard time being pregnant twice. He has already requested Young Master Jewell to hire the best pregnancy team in the country for you.”“Yael…” Sarah gave her an embarrassed and chiding glance.Catherine’s wandering gaze settled on Sarah’s stomach before she suddenly laughed. “It’s better to be a man. It’s easy for them to say since they only have to provide the sperm for artificial insemination. But women have to go through all sorts of trouble. In the early stages, women have to take injections and medicines. I heard that the process of insertion is unbearably painful as well. I admire you quite a lot. My love toward Shuan is nothing like yours.” Sarah’s expression shifted. In fact, she knew everything that Catherine had mentioned. She was unwilling too, but she had no choice because Shaun could not touch her
15 minutes later.Catherine received a notice from the hospital ordering them to switch hospitals.Joel was in the midst of his treatment, but he was furious when he heard about it. “Shaun is too arrogant. Did our family have a grudge against him in our past life? Did my treatment bothered him in any way?”“Dad, you’re not the one who bothered him. It’s me.” Catherine’s long lashes were downcast. She would remember everything that Shaun had done to them.“Catherine, don’t be sad. It’s my problem. I shouldn’t have come to the Jewell family’s hospital. The Jewell family and Hill family are tarred with the same brush. Let’s leave. I’ll remember this humiliation today. We, the Yule family, will return what they did to us in the future,” Joel said as he calmed down.“Yes. We’ll return what they did to us.”Catherine nodded.The next day after Nicola was sentenced.Joel publicly announced that he would fully foster Catherine as his successor and heir to his inheritance. Furthermore,
At that moment, an internal higher-level management meeting of Hill Corporation was ongoing.Liam was looking down at his phone when he suddenly snickered.The meeting room, where only Shaun’s voice could be heard, went eerily quiet. Everyone looked toward Liam.Shaun’s towering figure leaned back, and he threw the pen in his hands on the table. His stern gaze was icy cold. “What is General Manager Hill so engrossed in? Why don’t you share it with everyone?”Liam touched his nose. “You really want to know?”The senior managers held their breaths. They could hear Shaun was infuriated with General Manager Liam picking a fight.“I’m looking at the company’s official Facebook account. It’s about to explode.” Liam smiled vaguely. “It’s related to you, Director Hill.”A manager laughed and said, “It must be people congratulating Director Hill and Ms. Neeson on their wedding.”“That’s right. Recently, many people even came to the company to give their blessings. Director Hill is Austr
Catherine received the invitation card and played with it in her hands. “Is there any point to this kind of gala?”“There is. Big shots from every industry will be there. I heard that Cindy, the female celebrity you hate the most, is going to perform as well.” Harvey egged her on as he was afraid she would not attend the gala. “If you’re not busy, you can go and bully her.”“...”A few seconds later, Catherine chuckled. “Wow, Assistant York, you’re becoming more mischievous. Cindy is Chester’s girlfriend. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get into trouble?”Harvey said with a smile, “You’re President Yule’s successor and Hazle Group’s chief design officer now. The market value of Hudson Corporation has even doubled. Countless people are trying to get acquainted with you. Although the Jewell family is powerful, you’re not lacking either.”“You have a point there. Coincidentally, I have a score to settle with Chester too.”Catherine closed the invitation card. Since she was now a petty
Catherine chuckled. Even the blood in her body felt… pumped up.The night was going to be interesting.After three years, the familiar people were all gathered in the same place.Wesley raised his glass toward her from afar. Soon, she received a WhatsApp message from him: [I know what you’re aiming for, so I didn’t approach you. But I’ll be watching out for you.]Catherine’s heart warmed.Liam, who wore a white suit, walked toward her gracefully and passed her a glass of wine. “I didn’t want to come at first, but I immediately came when I heard that you’d be attending. It’s lively tonight.”“It’s quite lively indeed. I like it very much.” Catherine took a sip of wine before the corners of her mouth lifted into an attractive smile.A gleam flashed across Liam’s eyes. All of a sudden, he sighed regretfully. “Had you not gotten married to Shaun in the first place, I would’ve surely married you. If I were to woo you right now, the Hill family members would definitely tell me off. No
