“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
“She’s my biological niece. I’ll definitely treat her well.” Liam waved his hand.“... Alright.” Catherine nodded as she understood her daughter’s intention. “I’ll get you some good food tomorrow.”When Catherine left with Lucas, she saw Liam entertaining Suzie who looked delighted.She could not help but recall the time when Suzie was just born. Suzie had always cried and disliked anyone else carrying her except for Catherine.However, when Liam came back to visit Suzie and carried her, she would stop crying. She also enjoyed clinging to Liam in particular. Perhaps this was the exemplification of the saying ‘blood is thicker than water’, or perhaps, it was because Liam bore a passing resemblance to Shaun. The child could actually feel it.…When Suzie was in Liam's arms at night, she suddenly whispered to him, “Uncle Liam, is my scummy dad friendly like you when he deals with kids?” Liam was stunned. At the sight of the cute child whose face was pale because of her injuries,
Suzie had grown up in a foreign country from a young age and was only surrounded by two family members, namely Catherine and Lucas. Other people had grandparents, yet she did not have any.An idea popped up in her mind all of a sudden.She nodded before she wrapped her arms around Liam’s neck, calling out, “Daddy.”Liam jerked.“Look, she’s calling you Daddy and you’re still denying it? Kids won’t lie.” Old Madam Hill poked his temple violently. Liam felt helpless. When did he have a daughter who was soon turning three?“Hi, Great-grandma,” Suzie greeted Old Madam Hill sweetly.“Aww, what a sweetheart you are. You’re so obedient, polite, and clever. You can already recognize me as your great-grandma in an instant. How did you find out?” Old Madam Hill’s heart melted.Old Madam Hill had a lot of children and grandchildren, but they often made her blood boil after they grew up—especially her grandsons.Willie was a playboy, whereas Shaun had caused his children’s death. Liam, o
“No. Drive here and pick me up. Let’s go there together.”...At the hospital.Old Madam Hill had already informed everyone in the family.Liam hurriedly sent a message to Catherine in secret, telling her not to bring Lucas along later.His grandmother was ecstatic that she now had a granddaughter. If there turned out to be a grandson as well, they would be done for.Catherine, who was on the way to the hospital, felt that it was absurd. Her good daughter was gone in a night and had become Liam’s daughter now.Liam was totally unreliable.In less than an hour, Old Master Hill, Lea, Mason, Valerie, and Spencer arrived.They all had doubts at first. However, when they saw Suzie’s face, they did not dare to have any more doubts.She looked very much like Lea when she was young.Lea was smitten with Suzie at first glance. She was a career-oriented woman, so she had never thought of having many children and grandchildren. Nevertheless, when she saw such an adorable granddaughte
