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
The chill he felt made him tighten his grip on Sarah’s hand. Sarah sucked in a breath and groaned in a low voice. “Shaunic, it hurts…”“Sorry.” Shaun released his grip with an apologetic expression, but his gaze never left the middle of the dance floor.Sarah secretly clenched her fists angrily.Her wedding with Shaun was supposed to receive the most attention at this time, yet Catherine appeared out of nowhere and stole her limelight. Not only that, many people were comparing her to Catherine on the internet. Even though she had hired paid posters, she was still utterly defeated by Catherine. She finally got to attend a gala with Shaun, yet Catherine appeared as well like a ghost haunting them.What made her more frustrated was that she saw jealousy in Shaun’s eyes. It was the kind of jealousy a man would have toward another man.“Shaunic, Aunty Lea is over there. Let’s go over and say hello,” Sarah said in a soft voice.“Okay.”They were family, after all, so they had to act
Catherine had already finished dancing to a song with Liam. Soon, she was invited for another dance by the capable and good-looking Young Master Stringer.Shaun clenched his fists unconsciously.Lea sighed. “Sometimes, you just can’t underestimate others. Don’t you think so too? The gossip I heard the most today wasn’t about people laughing at Liam, but they’re talking about how you previously abandoned Catherine and insistently married Sarah!“What good can she bring you? Everyone in high society shuns Thomas Neeson. If it isn’t for you supporting Neeson Corporation, no one would be willing to collaborate with them.”“Enough, don’t say anymore.”Shaun already felt annoyed, and he felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to Lea’s words. “I recovered from my illness thanks to Sarah’s treatment. If it weren’t for Sarah’s encouragement back then at the mental hospital, I would’ve been dead already.”“Catherine encouraged you before too. You would’ve killed me that time if it wasn’t
“Because I missed you. Lea is indeed old compared to you.” Mason circled that woman’s waist. They started kissing each other heatedly.“Uncle, I know of a place with no one there. Shall we go to that place?” the woman said sweetly.“Good girl. Let’s go there now.” Mason walked toward the back with his arms around that woman. They gave each other a few pecks as they walked.However, they did not realize that Catherine had walked out from behind an evergreen tree while holding a phone as they left. The phone that she held was recording a video.Just as she wanted to go after them, a hand came from behind and snatched her phone away.She turned back to look. She saw Shaun holding her phone and watching the video. His expression was dark.“Don’t you feel ashamed as a woman for recording these things?”After a moment, Shaun glared at Catherine with an unhappy look.She was speechless. She thought that his expression was grim because he just saw the video of his stepfather having an
