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
Before Sarah flew into a fury, an icy voice suddenly sounded.“Freya Lynch, apologize to Sarah right now.”Rodney walked along the bluestone steps and approached her with a grim look on his handsome face.Thomas looked at Rodney as if he was his life savior and immediately tottered toward him. “Young Master Snow, save me. This woman is too cruel. She beat me up the moment she saw me. She even wanted to hit my sister, but luckily, you came in time.”“Rodney, you’re finally here.” Sarah’s eyes were red, and she looked aggrieved.At the sight of the situation, Rodney lost his temper. He stared hard into Freya’s eyes as if he was going to eat her up. “A cruel woman like you wants to marry the wealthiest man in the world, eh? Dream on. Don’t think about leaving this place if you guys don’t kneel and apologize to them.”Freya was speechless. “Hang on, what is your relationship with Sarah? Why did she look for you instead of Shaun when she was bullied? Could you guys be having an affair
“Actually, I’m doing this for your own good. Sarah is getting married tomorrow, so today is your last chance. If you don’t go for your happiness, it’ll be gone. You don’t have to thank me, though. I just hope that all shall be well and Jack shall have Jill.”Freya then waved at him and hurriedly urged Catherine to drive off.In the few seconds that Rodney was stunned, the car left behind a trail of smoke and traveled away. Rodney’s blood boiled.Nevertheless, he had to admit that Freya’s words had hit his nerve, namely that Sarah was getting married.Nobody knew that he had loved this woman for 14 years.He fell for her when he was 16 and could not stop loving her ever since then.However, Sarah was already in a relationship with Shaun by then, so Rodney did not want to be the third party. Besides, Shaun was his buddy. That was why he had been like a brother to her, silently wished her the best and protected her. Now, his crush was finally getting married.He was happy for h
Thomas said, “Tsk, look at how loving Young Master Snow is. Sarah, you’re amazing. After so many years, not only did you get Shaun to be your boyfriend again, but you also have Young Master Snow as your backup.”Even though the Snow family was not as influential as the Hill family, it was one of the top five families in Australia. Besides, the Snow family’s children were involved in both politics and business, unlike the Hills, who may be powerful but Shaun was the main person behind it.Rumor had it that Rodney’s uncle would be the candidate for prime minister in next year’s election. Among all the candidates, he was believed to stand the best chance of winning.A lot of wealthy women were interested in Rodney, yet he was only in love with Sarah whom he treated as his sister. “Well, one must not burn any bridges.” Sarah sighed. “In case Shaun dumps me one day, I can still go for Rodney.”“How will that be possible? You’re getting married tomorrow.” The more Thomas thought about
