“Mom, stop mentioning the past. Maybe things were just not meant to be with Catherine.” Valerie was quite happy about it, but she could not show it.“Okay, I don’t think this hospital’s environment is good. Let’s go back to the Hill family’s manor. Get a medical team to come over so that Suzie doesn’t need to go to the trouble of staying in the hospital,” Old Master Hill ordered.Suzie was the Hill family’s first great-granddaughter. She had to be raised with care.When the Hill family left the hospital together with Suzie, Catherine walked out from the corner of a wall while holding Lucas’ hand.It was a lie to say that she was not angry nor sad.However, when she saw Suzie happily in Lea’s arms, she felt uncomfortable in her heart too.Although Suzie had never said it aloud, Catherine knew that Suzie was envious of other kids who had grandparents.Maybe… this was for the better. If Suzie returned to the Hill family as Liam’s daughter, the Hill family members would cherish her.
Suzie, who was still excited, simply said, “My name is Susan Jones.”“Your last name is Jones?” Everyone was stunned as their gazes turned strange.Valerie kept batting her eyes. “Could it be that her mother’s last name is Jones…”Liam’s calves spasmed. He said hastily, “It’s quite a coincidence, but there are many people with Jones as their last name right?”“That’s enough. It doesn’t matter what last name Suzie has. She’ll have to change it to Hill anyway,” Old Master Hill said sternly.“I don’t want to have Hill as my last name.” When Suzie heard him, she was so surprised that she was about to pout and cry. “I don’t want to change my last name.”“Alright, we won’t change it if you don’t want to. It’s not an urgent matter.” Old Madam Hill glared at Old Master Hill. “She just lost her mother and you’re already forcing her to change her last name? Take it slow. Why are you being so hasty?”Old Master Hill was dejected from being scolded.When they reached the kids’ room, Suzie
“You noticed it too?”Lea laughed bitterly. “Liam, what kind of person do you think your dad is?”Liam opened his mouth for a second, but he remained silent in the end.Three years ago, everyone had suspected him when the pictures of Shaun in the mental hospital were leaked. Only Liam himself knew that he was innocent. When he learned that the news originated from the Campos family, he had more or less guessed that it was Mason who did it.His dad may appear gentlemanly and uninterested in everything, but what was seen on the outside might not be real.Unfortunately, no matter how much he asked, Mason would never reply to his questions directly.All those years, Liam had felt suffocated working in Hill Corporation. However, Mason had never mentioned anything about helping him at all. The time Mason spent with him was not even as much as the time Mason spent with Charlie.Whenever Liam went to the Campos family, the people there would be friendly to him on the surface. There wa
Old Madam Hill reminded Shaun, “By the way, Suzie’s a little over two years old but not three years old yet. When you’re buying presents, buy them according to her age. Also, let me inform you that I’m letting Suzie use the room that was prepared for the twins previously. You won’t be using it now anyway.”She hung up the call after she finished speaking.Shaun held his phone and remained in the same position for a long time.A little over two years old.If Catherine’s children were alive, they would have been around that age too.At that moment, his phone rang again.It was Sarah who called. “Shaunic, do you still have to work extra hours today? Didn’t we agree to pick a wedding shoot package together later?”“I don’t have time today. I have to go to the manor after I finish my work, so I won’t be going home,” Shaun explained.Sarah bit her lip. “Are you still angry at me because my brother got someone to destroy Catherine’s house? Shaunic, I really didn’t know about it. I war
Hadley blinked. “She’s the youngest member of the Hill family. I heard that Old Madam Hill is very delighted. The Hill family hasn’t been this lively in so long, so I bought more gifts.”Shaun harrumphed. “That’s not my child anyway.”“...”In fact, that was really his child....Shaun walked up the stairs.Just as he stepped into the villa, a little girl with her hair tied into two braids ran toward him.She had her head turned as she ran and said, “The kitty ran out. I’m going after it.”“Don’t go, your wound hasn’t recovered yet.”Lea had just finished talking when Suzie rammed into Shaun’s calves and fell on the ground.“Little brat, look in front of you when you’re walking.” Shaun bent over and helped her up.Suzie looked up and saw Shaun’s face up close. It was a face that had refined and perfectly sculpted features. He had a pair of attractive double eyelids.Suzie had seen this face before. A few days ago, Lucas had found a picture on the internet and showed it to h
However… Suzie was Liam’s daughter. The daughter of Liam, who Shaun despised the most since he was young. If his children were still alive, they would have been this adorable too, right?Shaun took a black card from his wallet and put it in Suzie’s hands. “This is pocket money for you.”Lea’s eyes almost fell to the ground from shock.She never expected Shaun to be so friendly to Liam’s daughter. Besides, Shaun treated everyone coldly. Suzie was probably the only one who ever got special treatment from him.“What’s this? Great-grandfather gave me a card too. The one Great-grandfather gave me is enough.” Suzie returned the card to Shaun. “I can’t take this.”Shaun was glad. It looked like her mom had taught her well. “It’s okay. That card was given to you by your great-grandfather, while this one is given to you by me. It has a different meaning.”“Suzie, keep the card. Your uncle has a lot of money anyway. Don’t lose it,” Lea reminded her.Suzie tilted her head and gave it som
“...”Shaun was speechless.He knew that Suzie was talking about the safe box. Catherine had stayed in this room three years ago. She was the one who set the password as well.After Catherine left, a lot of her belongings in the room were cleared, except for the safe box. Nobody opened it because they did not know the password.Before this, he had paid no mind to it at all and never even thought of opening it.He did not expect that the little brat would open it by accident.“It’s… a necklace,” Shaun said with a hoarse voice.“Is it yours, Uncle Shaun?” Suzie asked out of curiosity.“I’m not too sure either.” Shaun could not recall anything. “But I think I know who it belongs to. I’ll return it to her.”“Okay.” Suzie put the necklace in his hands and went to wash her face....During breakfast, Liam walked over and picked Suzie up. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “Suzie, if your mom finds out that you’re sticking so closely to Shaun, will she be very angry?”“
Fortunately, it was already past the hour where employees were coming to work. Otherwise, Catherine could imagine every female employee in the company staying back to admire his good looks.“Why are you here again?” Catherine walked over in her high heels. She tapped on his car with her fair fingers. “President Hill, you can’t park here.”Shaun glanced down at her. She was utterly bare-faced and did not wear any makeup that day. However, that did not affect her beauty in the slightest. Instead, it made her little face look clean and soft. Her features looked even tidier and exquisite when she was not wearing makeup.He unbuttoned one of the buttons of his shirt where his chest area was. His mouth felt dry.“This… is yours.”He retrieved a velvet box from his car. He opened it and revealed The Queen’s Necklace that was inside it.Catherine was taken aback.The Queen’s Necklace had been bought by him for her in Melbourne at the price of three billion dollars. It was also evidence
