“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
Sarah’s heart that just felt relieved received another shock. Just how exactly did she look like an employee?“No, she’s my fiancée,” Shaun explained.“Hello, Aunty,” Suzie greeted Sarah sweetly.“Hi.” Sarah smiled sheepishly. “Shaunic, I never knew you liked kids. Looks like we should quickly have one of our own.”“Yes,” Shaun replied calmly, “Maybe it’s because this child looks a lot like me.”“It’s okay. Our future child will look even more like you.” Sarah smiled with her hands covering her mouth.Suzie’s eyes were downcast. She showed a disappointed look and grabbed Shaun’s sleeve tightly. “Uncle Shaun, will you not love Suzie anymore when you have your own child in the future?”Her dark eyes were filled with fear and disappointment. Her face was pale, and her forehead was still wrapped in bandages.Shaun felt a pinch in his heart. He coaxed her in a low voice, saying, “I won’t. Even if I have a child in the future, I’ll still like you, Suzie.”“Thank you, Uncle Shaun.” S
Soon, the famous chefs of Hill Corporation’s restaurants were summoned to cook Suzie’s favorite dishes.However, Suzie only took a few bites before sobbing again. “I don’t like it. It’s not as good as Mommy’s cooking. Mommy’s food tastes fresh and fragrant, and there are many sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Actually, I already know… that I can never eat Mommy’s cooking again.”As she spoke, two streams of tears came flowing out of her eyes. However, she did not make a sound.She did not know that when she cried like that, it only intensified Shaun’s heartache. This little child was too sensible.He also knew that kind of pain. When he was young, although he had a mother, it was as if he did not.“Suzie, let’s go find your Daddy, okay?” Shaun really had no choice.“Okay, tell Daddy to bring me to Aunty Cathy. Aunty Cathy’s cooking is also delicious. It tastes like my mommy’s cooking.” Suzie sniffled.“Aunty Cathy?” Shaun paused. “You mean Catherine Jones?”That damned Liam Hill!
