“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
“...Yeah,” Suzie answered nervously.“Suzie.” Shaun suddenly bent down and said earnestly, “The two of you are still young, so it’s okay. As you grow older, you need to understand that you can’t simply hold a boy’s hand.”“Oh.” Suzie nodded. She would never grab a boy’s hand randomly. However, since Lucas was her brother, it did not matter.“You can try and mingle with girls,” Shaun advised. “Uncle Shaun, don’t interfere in the way I make friends,” Suzie said with a pout. Shaun did not utter a word after being treated with contempt.Fine, she was still young. He would observe her slowly.Little did he realize that Lucas was hiding behind the door, watching him when he took Suzie away.The teacher was under the impression that Lucas admired Suzie for having a parent to pick her up, so she comforted him gently, “Lucas, don’t worry. Your family will be here soon.”“Mm.” Lucas dropped his gaze.That was his scummy dad. It was Lucas’s first time hearing his scummy dad’s voice, a
When Thomas came back to his senses, he aimed a punch at Freya in a fit of fury.Nevertheless, Freya threw him over the shoulder, and he subsequently fell to the ground.The ground was covered with mud, and within seconds, Thomas’s body began to hurt badly. “B*tch…” “You can’t speak anymore, huh?” Freya stepped on his face.“Brother.” Sarah was so exasperated that her expression changed drastically. She dashed toward Freya in an attempt to grab her, but Catherine was quick enough to stand in front of Freya.“Hey, they’re settling their old scores. Why do you want to get involved?”Catherine’s advice nearly made Sarah explode with anger. Sarah did not care much for Thomas, but they were now together after all. Watching him getting beaten in front of her was humiliating for her too. “Hurry up and call the police, Sarah. Inform Young Master Hill and Young Master Snow,” Thomas screamed in pain.He had no idea what Freya had gone through over the years that gave her iron-like fi
When Freya raised her brows provocatively, Thomas was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Sarah.“Tomorrow will be Shaun and my grand wedding. It’ll be attended by all the noble families in Canberra. If you dare to hit me, you’ll only humiliate the Hill family, and Shaun will certainly do something about it. I suggest you guys think carefully.”Sarah lifted her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. At the same time, she revealed a glittering diamond ring on her index finger.Upon noticing Catherine’s glance, Sarah could not help but smile smugly. “This is the diamond ring that Shaun gave me yesterday. It weighs 13.14 grams. It might be small, but it’s the thought that counts.”Freya cut in. “It’s quite small. Back then, Shaun even gave Cathy a diamond necklace worth three billion dollars. It’s called The Queen’s Necklace. Have you heard of it?”Sarah’s smile turned stiff.She had most certainly heard about The Queen’s Necklace. After all, most Australian women from no
