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
“Why are you panicking? Did you remind Assistant Walker what I told you?”“I did...”“You’ll be fine, then. Regardless of how much you pay him, just make sure his lips are sealed. Also, you’d better behave yourself from now on or I won’t be able to save you.” Sarah gritted her teeth as soon as she ended the call.Needless to say, Shaun had found out about the matter. Never had she expected that he would be unbothered about her dignity. …In the hospital.When Catherine was feeding Suzie porridge in her arms, Freya received a call.After that, Freya said, “There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that the police called and told me that there’s evidence showing that the burglars were hired by someone else. It was Thomas’ assistant who transferred money to their family members.” Catherine raised her head and said, “As for the bad news, is it that Thomas’ assistant has confessed to the crime?”“Yeah.” Freya sighed. “It means that Thomas still got away again, but guess
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
