Sarah was shocked, but she tried to maintain a smile on her face. “Of course I do. Children are innocent and lovely, just like little angels. I like them very much.”Shaun pursed his lips.Sarah held his hand and lowered her eyes. “Shaun, I know my mistake last night made you very upset, but it was my first time handling a child, so I was at a loss. I promise I won’t do it again in the future. You can bring Suzie over more often to play next time, and I can practice more on how to take care of children.”If Suzie dared to tell Shaun about what happened yesterday, she had a thousand ways to teach Suzie without her knowing it.Even if Suzie died, Sarah could make it so that she had nothing to do with it.“Practice?” Shaun frowned. “She’s just a little child. Just a little carelessness will get her injured. Even a fishbone or a fruit core might kill her.”With a pale face, Sarah quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I’ll be really, really careful. I won’t let something like t
Hence, Shaun wanted to make sure that his children grew up surrounded by parental love. “I will. I’ll take good care of them,” Sarah said while tears fell from her eyes.“Sarah, I can’t trust you. I think we’re still young. Let’s talk about having children sometime later.”Shaun then looked away. “You can go back now. I still have a lot of things to deal with. By the way, you don’t have to prepare my lunch and bring it over anymore. I want you to have your own career rather than let your life revolve around me.”Once he finished speaking, he sat on the office chair and began working.Sarah was so angry that she nearly went mad.However, all she could do was fake an aggrieved look while she walked out of the Hill Corporation’s office.She had never expected that the image she had worked so hard to build would end up tarnished by a child instead of Catherine.At this very moment, Lucifer called Sarah.“Transfer me 100 million dollars now. I’m strapped for cash.”Sarah flew int
Shortly after Catherine left, Suzie stuffed a card into Lucas’s hand. “This is from our scummy dad. Take it and spend it whenever you want. I have one too. Great-grandpa gave it to me.”“I don’t want it.” Lucas tossed it back to Suzie and reminded her, “Susan Jones, are you hoping that our scummy dad will get back together with Mommy?”A guilty look flashed across Suzie’s eyes. “Actually… Our scummy dad is more attractive in real life than in photos. We’ll be honored if we go out with him…”Lucas was at a loss for words. He knew that his sister was unreliable, considering that she admired people with good looks. “Don’t forget that he’s going to marry another woman. He’s a scumbag. If it weren’t for Mommy, who protected us back then, we might not have survived.”Suzie instantly kept quiet. “Also, don’t forget how well Uncle Wesley treats us,” Lucas reminded her bluntly. “All this while, Uncle Wesley has been waiting for Mommy.”“Fine. I’m not going to matchmake them.”Suzie drop
“I’m hanging up now.”“Hold on.” Shaun immediately stopped Catherine. “What brand is it?”“I don’t remember. Anyway, it’s available at the drugstore.” Catherine slammed the phone immediately.Shaun frowned and called her again.“What do you want, Shaun?” Shaun was getting on her nerves. All she wanted was to have a proper nap. Her tone was filled with impatience, but Shaun did not sense it. He was already ill, but at that point, he felt a little feverish again. “I just want to remind you out of the goodness of my heart that Isaac isn’t a good guy. He has smelly feet, and what’s more, he’s interested in men. He got closer to you simply because you’re the successor of Yule Corporation. Don’t think that he’s into you.”“It’s none of your business.” Catherine’s words made him choke with rage.“I reminded you only because you’re my ex-wife. I don’t wish to see you deceived and shamed.”“Thank you, but I don’t think Isaac has smelly feet. I’ll bring him home tonight to find out whet
In a hidden private room.Sarah had waited for over ten minutes before the door was slowly pushed open.A man, who exuded a sense of nobility, slowly walked in. From his brows, he seemed sluggish and careless. “Why are you looking for me, Miss Neeson?”“I’d like to collaborate with you.”Staring at his face, Sarah gave a faint and calm smile.“There’s nothing we can collaborate on. I think you’ve misunderstood me, Miss Neeson. I’m quite busy. If there’s nothing else…”“The Shelley by Shaun’s side three years ago was not the real Shelley,” Sarah said. “When she died later, you replaced her with the real Shelley. If I’m not mistaken, you made Charity the impostor back then with the intention of ruining Shaun and Catherine’s relationship after you sent Charity to jail. Besides that, when that fake Shelley was with Shaun, she continuously messed up Shaun’s medicine that it worsened his condition, including his memory.”The man’s frown gradually turned deeper and colder.He slowly s
Two days later.Freya returned from Melbourne to Canberra at night.Catherine personally picked her up.“Damn, I was only away for a few days, and Suzie has become Liam’s daughter.” Freya said glumly, “Then, they can’t go back to the US with me. I’ll be bored and lonely alone there. Should I move my office to Canberra? My parents hope that I’ll be back for good as well.”“Yeah, sure.” Catherine then asked, “Isn’t SE Group asking you to collaborate with them? You can work with them and beat Osher Corporation together.”“Speaking of this, those people from Osher Corporation have been calling me every day. They’ve apologizing and begging me to go back.” At the mention of this matter, Freya was very smug. At this moment, her phone rang with the call notification showing ‘Rodney Snow’. Freya looked at Catherine and raised her brows before she arrogantly tapped the decline call button. “Ha, this is nonsense. You ignored me when I begged you the last time, but now, you’re out of my l
In the seaside villa.Soon, Sarah received a call.“That man… has been dealt with.”Sarah’s eyes lit up. “Good job. You guys are really efficient. Have you settled his dead body?”“It has been buried in the mountain. No one travels past that remote place.”“Thanks.”The person on the other end chuckled. “You don’t have to thank me yet. Now that I’ve helped you, you will need to return the favor next time.”“Alright.” Sarah gritted her teeth. She was under no illusion that there would be no turning back once she embarked on this journey. Nevertheless, it was an immense relief to know that Lucifer, who had been a thorn in her side, had been killed. Shortly after, the sound of a car engine came from outside.She immediately walked downstairs. “Shaunic, you came back at the right time. The wedding planner sent me the floor plan today, and this is how our wedding venue will be decorated. Is this okay?”Shaun only threw a casual glance at it when she handed him her phone. “As long
Lea was momentarily stunned, but after some hesitation, she nodded. Given that her sons were not on friendly terms, she hoped that Suzie would act as a bridge between them. “Alright, then.”At the preschool entrance.By the time Shaun arrived, the kids had not yet been dismissed. He was dressed in a blue shirt and a pair of creaseless, white casual pants. Seeing his tall and elegant figure, the security guard at the gate subconsciously showed his respect. While most of the kids in this preschool had wealthy parents, it was rare to see a parent like him who exuded a strong sense of authority.“Sir, may I know which kid you’re here for?”“I’m here for Susan Jones,” Shaun replied nonchalantly.“She’s in the nursery class. The nursery class is having an outdoor activity now.”The security guard courteously led him into the compound. In less than a minute, they arrived at the place where the outdoor activity was being carried out. A group of kids was playing happily in the spaciou
