In the face of the crowd’s chatter, Catherine smiled faintly and pressed on a key, making the banquet hall quiet down.She adjusted the microphone and said in a pleasant voice, “This is a new song I composed. Today will be the first time I’m playing and singing it, so I hope everyone will give it a listen.”“Is she insane? She even composed her own song.”“Maybe she’s jealous of Cindy and wants to overshine her, but Cindy is a singer.”“These days, every young lady from wealthy families wants to make their own songs. It’s an insult to music.”Just as everyone whispered in one another’s ears, a burst of cheerful music accompanied by the sound of piano keys slowly sounded.“I say to you, ‘stop right there’,“The plane flies over the blue sky,“I’m going on a journey,“I’m going on a journey far away.“Tears fell on my chest,“This relationship, it won’t end,“We’re chasing our dreams of the future together,“This is not the end, it’s a new beginning.”...The crowd gradual
“Miss Jones, you can’t have plagiarized it, right?” Charlie mocked with intent.As soon as the statement was made, everyone’s eyes fell on Catherine.Cindy showed a tolerant and generous expression, saying, “Actually, it’s not true. If you listen carefully, the song that Catherine composed has a lighter rhythm than my song, ‘Paradise of Dreams’. It has a different style too.”Catherine glanced at Cindy. Everyone could hear the hidden meaning in Cindy’s words. It was an indirect admission that Catherine had copied Cindy, but only the style of the song was somewhat different. With the words she said, she portrayed herself as being very generous.Sure enough, the next moment, Joanne said, “Miss Turner, you can be generous, but you shouldn’t promote plagiarism. If you change and rearrange a handful of foreign songs and say that you created the song yourself, wouldn’t it be too unfair to the original creators?”Melanie also showed an embarrassed look. “Catherine, although we’re all mem
Cindy was inexplicably perturbed by Catherine’s expression. “You play very well. Keep up the good work.”Catherine let out a snort of laughter and narrowed her eyes with a smile. “Even now, you don’t want to explain why the first song was similar to your song, ‘Paradise of Dreams’? It’s because all the songs in the album ‘Paradise of Dreams’, whether the lyrics or compositions, were all written by me.”With that declaration, the audience was in an uproar.The crowd subconsciously cast their eyes to Chester. Everyone knew that Cindy was Chester’s girlfriend. He had been protecting her in the circle all these years, spoiling her in the palm of his hands.For Catherine to call Cindy out now, that was the same as slapping Chester’s face.Chester lit a cigarette and frowned deeply.Cindy was confused. “What are you saying?”Rodney scolded immediately, “Catherine Jones, I think you’ve really gone insane! Those songs were written by Cindy, not you! How shameless can you be?”“Yeah, do
“Isn’t that an exaggeration?”“You don’t understand music. Catherine plays songs that get better the more you listen to them, and her voice is very good. Her piano skills are definitely above Grade 10 and can even be compared to professional pianists. Cindy is nowhere near that level.”“I really didn’t expect Cindy to be such a person.”“It’s normal. Many people in the music circle forget about friendships when they become famous. A few years ago, I heard Catherine was just a nobody in Melbourne and the Yule family hadn’t acknowledged her.”“No wonder.”“...”The gazes the crowd cast toward Cindy were increasingly filled with contempt and disdain.Cindy’s face turned pale as she was the person in the middle of it all. Ever since she got together with Chester, no one had dared to underestimate her or despise her.She walked to Chester as though he was her savior. “Chester, I—”“Were those songs really written by Catherine?”Chester stared at her sharply as though he wanted to
Chester took a seat on the sofa opposite Catherine. There was clearly a bright smile on his face, but his aura gave off a powerful oppressive force. “Give me the original songbook.”“It looks like Cindy came clean to you.” Catherine smiled calmly. “What’s so good about such a hypocritical woman?”“She does have many shortcomings, but she’s still my woman,” Chester said, “Catherine Jones, don’t go against me. Your Yule family can’t afford the consequences of angering the third young master of the country. Haven’t you had your fill of slapping other people’s faces tonight?”The corners of Catherine’s mouth curled upward in mockery. “Chester Jewell, as the third young master of the country, your eyesight is pretty bad. You should change your glasses.”Chester’s eyes flashed coldly. “My patience has its limits.”“The matter between Cindy and me can be considered an old grudge. I didn’t want to bring up the past, but… it’s your fault for being so savage, Young Master Jewell.” Catherine
When Shaun thought of Catherine and Young Master Stringer possibly doing the same thing that had happened between them some days ago in the car...His heart instantly started aching.He could not bear it and took out his phone to make a call.Less than ten minutes later, a policeman drove over and knocked on Young Master Stringer’s car window.“Is something the matter?” Isaac lowered the window.The officer looked at the young man and woman in the car, saying awkwardly, “Someone reported that you’re making improper transactions in the car.”What kind of improper transactions could a lone man and a woman carry out in a car?Isaac and Catherine’s expressions instantly became foul.Catherine crossed her arms. “Do we look disheveled to you?”“My apologies.” The officer cursed the person who reported them. That person must be insane.Just as the officer left and Isaac prepared to continue chatting, a water truck suddenly drove past. Since the window was left open, Isaac, who was s
However, Shaun could not help himself.“Why not?” He grabbed Catherine by the shoulders and pressed her against the wall, his eyes burning with flames. “I have to admit that you’re a very attractive woman. It was me who didn’t know you well enough before.”Then, his thin lips greedily kissed her red ones.However, Catherine turned her head away and dodged.His lips fell on her cheek and her body’s elegant fragrance wafted over, making him unable to pull away.“Shaun Hill, do you remember how you got your subordinate to pin me down to search me last week? Do you remember how you forced me to sign the papers? Do you still remember how cold you looked at that time?”Catherine said softly with a trace of sadness. “In fact, when you carried me out of the car that day, I wasn’t asleep. I just felt like it was a dream and didn’t dare to wake up. After you left, I thought about a lot of things and felt that maybe there was still a chance for us. But the next day, you came to me for a div
At 1:00 a.m., Cindy’s team held an emergency meeting and finally made an official announcement to the public. [Unknowingly, it has been five years since I entered the entertainment industry. That year, ‘Paradise of Dreams’ made me popular all over the country. In fact, for so many years, I’ve been silently thanking one person in my heart and that’s my good friend, Catherine Jones. ‘Paradise of Dreams’ was created by her for me. I’m really grateful to have met a friend like her in my life. She used to keep a low profile and didn’t want to show off, but now that she’s known to the public, I don’t want to hide her talent anymore. I want to give the prize that I was awarded back then to her. This is her award. Catherine, I love you.]Later, Cindy posted a few more trophies and a photo she had taken with Catherine on campus. In the photo, the two of them were smiling brightly and looking incredibly friendly. The netizens exploded.[So Catherine and Cindy were good friends. Tsk tsk, beau
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
