“You quite happily kissed this public toilet earlier.” Rodney winked. “You even made me take off my clothes and poured wine on me. I knew you liked to play exciting games like these.”At his words, the restaurant manager and President Hatch both cast odd glances at Freya. She looked so pretty, but unexpectedly, she was so bold and unrestrained on the inside.“Bullsh*t!” Freya’s face turned red with anger.Rodney felt soothed the more he saw her like that, and his eyes flashed ambiguously. “Forget it, I won’t say much about certain things. After all, my present appearance can prove everything.”“You’re nuts!” Freya snapped at him and left.“Hey, what about the formula?” Rodney shamelessly shouted at her back.“Dream on!” Freya walked away, and President Hatch immediately followed.As soon as they disappeared, Rodney immediately sneezed. He started shivering as he yelled for his assistant outside. “Herbert, take off your coat and give it to me.”Damn it, he was going to freeze to
After Catherine hung up the phone, she said to her two kids, “Your grandpa isn’t feeling well, so I have to go to the hospital now. Both of you stay home and behave well, okay? Your godmother will be back in a moment.”“Mommy, can we visit Grandpa too?” Lucas asked with a frown.“Now is not the time. What’s more, Grandpa is too weak to talk to you. You can visit him sometime later.”After comforting her two darling kids, she rushed to the hospital helplessly.On the way there, she called Freya, asking her to return home early.…After Catherine left, Suzie got a stool so that she could climb to where the cabinet was and take some snacks. “Hehe. I knew Mom would hide the snacks here. She thought I wouldn’t know.”Suzie tossed a packet of chips to Lucas. “Do you want it?”“I don’t eat junk food. It’ll make you dumb.” Lucas glanced at her speechlessly. He did not understand why she found this kind of food tasty. Since his mother did not enjoy it, Suzie must have taken after Shaun.
Soon, those few men smashed everything in the house. Only after they finished messing up everything did they leave with satisfaction.About five minutes after they left, the suitcase was zipped open from inside.Lucas crawled out with a pale face and red eyes. At the same time, he clumsily carried Suzie out. Her head was covered with blood.“Brother, it hurts so badly…” Suzie looked at him in a daze with a packet of snacks in her hand.“Don’t be scared, Suzie. I’ll send you to the hospital right now.” Lucas was so anxious that tears trickled down his usually calm face.As Lucas ran with Suzie on his back, he dialed 000 using his phone. Then, he called Catherine, “Mommy, Suzie is injured.”“What?!”Catherine, who had just arrived at the hospital, was overwhelmed with frustration as soon as she heard Lucas’ words. “How did she injure herself? Is it serious?” “Mommy, I’ll talk to you later. Suzie just fainted. I’ve called the ambulance and I’m now sending her to the hospital.” Lu
Lucas rolled up his sleeves and said, “Mommy, mine is—”“No way. You’re too young to donate your blood,” the doctor interrupted his sentence. “The patient needs 500 milliliters of blood. Even an adult may not be able to take it if they donate this much blood. A child will definitely collapse. Where’s the kid’s dad?”“Dad?” Catherine clenched her fists. If Shaun found out about this, he would definitely snatch Suzie away from her.At this point, Lucas pulled on Catherine’s hand. “Mommy, we can go look for Uncle Liam. I heard him say before that he has the same blood type as Suzie and me.”After being stunned for a moment, Catherine promptly gave Liam a call.Liam hurried here within ten minutes. “What’s wrong with Suzie? As soon as I knew something happened to her, I ran eight red lights to get here.”“Thank you, Liam.” Catherine was extremely grateful to him. “Suzie is still undergoing emergency treatment. She needs 500 milliliters of blood.”“I have the same blood type as her
“Alright. Case closed.”When the police were ready to leave, Freya said with dissatisfaction, “Clearly, it wasn’t burglary. Someone paid them to take revenge on us.”“Enough, Freya. The police have done what they could.”Catherine stopped her and let the police leave.“I’m sure Thomas has bribed them,” Freya said furiously.Catherine scoffed. “Of course. Well, practice makes perfect. The more evil deeds Thomas has done, the more proficient he becomes. Before this, Shaun had to clean up his messes. Now, he can settle things by himself so well that he won’t even need to suffer the consequences.”“Aren’t we going to take revenge on Suzie’s behalf?” Freya asked discontentedly.“We’ll take it slow. But… I won’t be able to live well until I pay them back.”Catherine handed Lucas to Freya. “I’m going out.”“Mommy, where are you going?” Lucas asked concernedly. “I’m going to get some breakfast. I’ll be back soon. Look after your sister in the meantime.” Catherine left the hospital u
Sarah got out of the car and advised Catherine dejectedly, “Calm down, Catherine. I know the news of my marriage to Shaun has probably triggered you, but what you’re doing now is illegal. I’ve just called the police.”Shaun was taken aback. Then, Sarah explained helplessly, “She has gone too far this time. Have you noticed the mess in our courtyard? Luckily, no one was hit. If we don’t teach her a lesson, she’ll behave more unscrupulously next time.”Shaun kept quiet for a moment.He was aware that Catherine still loved him, but her crazy behavior really terrified him. He felt the need to teach her a lesson as well.Looking at the two of them, Catherine scoffed. “Stop overthinking things. I came here not because I’m jealous of your marriage. I want to warn you that my temper has its limits. Sarah Langley, you’d better keep an eye on Thomas. A few people broke into my house and smashed my things last night.“Freya attacked Thomas in front of the media during the day and something h
“How do you feel now that your beloved man is giving you the cold shoulder?” Catherine’s indifferent voice rang in Sarah’s ears.Sarah turned around and stared at Catherine’s pretty face. How she wished she could tear it apart.“Catherine Jones, don’t be so conceited. Shaun has only misunderstood my brother. Moreover, you were just criticizing Thomas without any evidence.”Sarah soon pulled herself together. If Catherine had evidence of Thomas’ doing, she would not have come here to kick up a fuss. Instead, she would have looked for Thomas and got him into trouble.This time, Thomas had not asked Sarah for help. It meant that he was so well prepared that Catherine could not do anything to him. “Yeah, I have no evidence, but that doesn’t mean Shaun won’t look into it. Since it’s someone like your brother, do you think Shaun won’t suspect him? Shaun can definitely see through his little game.”As soon as Catherine finished speaking, Sarah’s face fell.“Sarah Langley, you can hypn
When faced with four men at night, a pretty woman would not be able to defeat them. She might even get…Shaun subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “There’s a school district in the Hackett neighborhood where many students stay. The security around the area is tight, so how dare they break into the house and steal things at 10 p.m.?”“Yeah, this is the first serious case that has happened there. The police have arrested the four criminals. The criminals claimed that they heard Miss Jones is the successor of Yule Corporation and thought she’s wealthy, so they went there to rummage for valuable items.“Having said that, it’s my first time hearing burglars smashing everything in the house. They smashed everything in sight till the house was beyond all recognition. It’s not even fit for a human to stay there now. It seems like they were… taking revenge.”Shaun rubbed his temples. After a moment, he said sternly, “Go and investigate whether this incident has to do wit
