Joel followed Catherine immediately when he saw that she was about to leave.Many guests gradually left as well after they saw someone take the lead.They could have a meal anywhere, but everyone just wanted to go out and gossip about whether Sarah had cheated on Shaun or not.When Old Master Hill saw the guests leaving one by one, he smashed a glass out of anger. “What a disgrace! This is the woman you insist on marrying!”“Grandpa, Sarah is being framed by someone else in this incident. I believe that she’s innocent.” Shaun tried to defend Sarah with a grim expression. “I knew her from when I was in the mental hospital. I understand Sarah well.”“No one can completely understand another person,” Lea suddenly said after she glanced at Mason as a hint. She had previously thought she knew Mason well, but she realized in recent years that she had never really seen through the person who had been sleeping by her side for more than 20 years.Shaun was her son. He might have followed
The blood flowing throughout Shaun’s body instantly turned cold.The scenes of Sarah waiting at home for him to return from work every day kept flashing in his mind. He recalled her lively, kind, and pure appearance. The police told him that Sarah would spend six to seven hours in the apartment with another man several times a week.Besides, her clothes were different when she came out of the apartment…Sarah said that man was her tenant. However, was it necessary to spend so much time with a tenant?Why would she lie to him?Actually, the reason was simple.If he could, he did not want to believe it at all.It turned out that he did not understand Sarah enough.He recalled himself saying confidently that he believed in her. Suddenly, he found the whole thing hilarious. Just the thought that Sarah had touched such a dirty man before made Shaun feel utterly relieved at that moment. Luckily, he never had sex with Sarah before.Not only him, but Rodney and Chester were both
“What I said is the truth. Otherwise, why would there be women who cheat on their husbands, not only mentally but spiritually as well? Isn’t it because they can’t bear the loneliness?” Chester took a long drag on his cigarette. “As for the 200 million dollars that Sarah gave to Lucifer, I reckon she was threatened.”There was no doubt that Chester was the calmest one among the three men at that moment.Shaun quickly realized it too.If Sarah just wanted to have sex with that man, she would not have given him 200 million dollars.“Let’s talk about this matter again after she comes out.”A moment later, Shaun opened the car door and got in.Too many things had happened today. He just wanted to cool down for a while and think about his and Sarah’s future.A few minutes later, he called Hadley. “I need all the information on Sarah’s case.”...Sarah spent only a day and a half in the police station.However, that day and a half felt like a year. She was interrogated by the police
“Shaunic, I didn’t lie to you on purpose. I was forced to do so. That person was one of the criminals who kidnapped me back in the States. You should know how painful that incident was for me. I’m not clean anymore, yet that person appeared again like a demon. “He said he had indecent pictures and videos of my past. I had no choice. I was afraid that you would be disgusted with me if you found out, so I gave him money. I gave him 200 million dollars but he wasn’t satisfied. He wanted me to have sex with him.”Sarah crouched down and cried bitterly as she spoke, “I felt disgusted. Every time he touched me, it felt so repulsive that I wanted to puke. Shaunic, I made a mistake. I’ve done you wrong, but it wasn’t intentional. I love you. You were already so repulsed by me that you would puke whenever I touched you. I was scared that you'd hate me even more if you saw the pictures.”“Get up.”Shaun extended his hands to help her up.Sarah flung herself into his embrace. She wailed whi
“It’s not both of us, it’s just me.” Shaun rubbed his brows. A deep trace of helplessness flashed across his narrow eyes. “I’m sorry, Sarah. I think we both need some time to cool down.”Sarah was stunned. She could not believe it.Had Shaun not decided to stop pursuing that matter just now? Why was he leaving all of a sudden?!No, she could not let him leave.Sarah grabbed Shaun’s hand. “Shaunic, don’t go. I beg you. What will it take for you to forgive me? As long as you say it, I’m willing to do anything.”“Sarah, don’t do this…” Shaun tried to push her hand away.However, it was as if Sarah had gone crazy. Her face was streaked with tears. “If you want to cool down, you can do it here. I won’t disturb you. Shaunic, everyone in Canberra sees me as a joke now. If you move out so suddenly, what will those people think of me? They’ll think that I’m a seductress. I won’t be able to hold my head high for the rest of my life. If you don’t want me, I’d rather die!”“Sarah, are you t
“President Hill, you’re not a scumbag. You just… don’t love Ms. Neeson anymore.” ‘You stopped loving her a long time ago, but you were just deluded by Ms. Neeson’s hypnosis,’ Hadley thought.“I don’t love her?” Shaun smiled bitterly. “I used to think that I’d love her forever.”“There’s a barrier between you and Ms. Neeson,” Hadley said, “Happiness is the most important thing when two people are in a relationship. But I never thought you were happy every time I saw you coming out of the villa.”Shaun was taken aback. Was he not happy?When he thought about it, it seemed accurate. He did not know when it began, but he would rather work extra hours at the company. Hadley saw that Shaun was in a daze. He continued saying, “Besides… even if you suppress this matter, the police had appeared in public to bring Ms. Neeson away that day. Many people have already caught wind of it. If you still insist on being together with Ms. Neeson, not only will it anger Old Master Hill and Old Madam
“If it weren’t for my quick thinking, I would’ve almost gotten involved in your trouble. I’ve yet to settle my debt with you. Besides, you should think of what you still have that’s useful to me. Once you leave Shaun’s side, you’re nothing at all to me.”The call ended mercilessly. Sarah was appalled. She gripped her phone tightly. She knew all along that in the eyes of those bunch of people, no matter how outstanding she was in the field of psychology and arts, they would only prioritize family background. The Neeson family was not what it used to be. Therefore, she could only hold tightly onto Shaun, Rodney, and Chester.A wave of panic swept over her. She dialed Rodney’s number.Half an hour later, Rodney quickly rushed over.Sarah had already washed her face and changed into a set of white clothes. She sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking wine. Her look was that of someone in despair, yet it had a touch of purity too.“Sarah, stop drinking.” Rodney snatched her wine
“That’s right, the president is so tall and mighty. It’s clear at a glance that he can last very long. Is she still not satisfied?”“Maybe the president only looks strong on the outside?”“...”Hadley, who watched as they continued to gossip, felt exasperated.If they went on like this, Eldest Young Master Hill’s privacy would be stripped away.“Shut your mouths. You’re gossipping about the president in the company? Do you not want to work anymore?” Hadley warned.The employees realized that they were getting carried away and broke out in a cold sweat.At that moment, Lea knocked on the door and walked in. “Where’s Shaun?”“In the office.” Hadley quickly went up to her and said, “Madam, you must persuade President Hill. He’s been working relentlessly for two days and hasn’t rested.”Lea opened the door and went in, closing the door behind her.The interrupted Shaun raised his bloodshot eyes. “Why are you here?”“Even if you don’t want to go back, your secretary department ca
