Shaun saw Catherine’s shocked appearance.The corners of his lips curled slightly. He had casually come up with a lie, but she unexpectedly believed him.“Anyway, I’m telling the truth. I advise you to stay away from him,” Shaun added.Catherine rolled her eyes at him and took out her phone to call Isaac.Shaun said, “Isaac already left.”“Shaun Hill, what did you do this time?” Catherine glared at him.“I told him that pursuing you is offending me, and he left without a word,” Shaun said contemptuously. “He’s as timid as a mouse.”Catherine, “...”If she did not know Isaac well, she would have believed Shaun’s nonsense.This man told lies without coming up with a script first.Seeing that she had stopped speaking and was looking at him expressionlessly with her beautiful face, Shaun coughed into his fist. “I came here to thank you for sending me to the hospital yesterday. Why don’t I treat you to dinner tonight as thanks?”“Thanks, but no thanks. I sent you to the hospital
Shaun followed Catherine. When he saw Catherine’s resolute back, he felt that if he did not make some things clear, he might really lose her forever. “Don’t go. Actually, I… liked you since before.”This was the first time he fully expressed his true thoughts.Catherine paused, and Shaun lowered his voice in chagrin. “But I couldn’t say it because I’ve known Sarah for too long and owe her too much. I couldn’t let her down, so I could only choose to divorce you. I don’t understand why I changed my mind either. I just like spending time with you more. When I see you with Liam or Issac, I become angry.”“Is that so?”Catherine turned her reddened eyes to him and glared at him with a sarcastic smile. “Shaun Hill, you’re too deeply entangled with Sarah. You said that you like me, but can it compare to the guilt you have for Sarah? The next time she says a word, you’ll abandon me without mercy again. Have you heard of the boy who cried wolf? I’m the villager in that story. I have no trus
“Ms. Lynch, don’t be afraid. We don’t have any ill intentions,” the butler said while pressing on the door.“I ruined Rodney Snow’s reputation. How could you not have ill intentions?”Freya did not believe these families at all. In the past, Catherine was called over by the old master of the Hill family and her face was disfigured.She had not found a boyfriend yet. She did not want to be disfigured or locked up.“If you don’t cooperate, then we’ll have to take you there by force.” The butler sighed helplessly.Seeing the bodyguards about to barge in, Catherine walked over. “Freya, I’ll go with you.”“Ms. Jones, that’s…” The butler frowned. He had also heard of Catherine. She was the heir of the Yule family.“I believe that the Snow family isn’t unreasonable. If there’s anything that has to be said, we can talk it over. To be honest, I won’t be at ease letting my friend go there alone.”“Very well.” The butler nodded. “Let’s go together.”“Cathy, do you really want to go with
Thinking that Freya might become the second madam of the Snow family in the future, the butler could not help but add, “The eldest young miss is now the president of Snow Corporation and is usually very busy.”“The eldest young miss…” Freya was a little dumbfounded.Catherine looked at her with a vague smile. “Yeah, your brother’s ex is the Snow family’s eldest young miss.”“...I was joking. Maybe I was mistaken.” The corners of Freya’s mouth curved upward. She believed that her brother did not have that capability.Soon, they arrived at the main hall and saw three people sitting inside.The one sitting in the middle was an old man with white hair but a kind face. Next to him sat a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup. The woman looked slightly similar to Rodney, and it was clear at a glance that they were Rodney’s parents.“Grandpa, Uncle, Aunty, hello,” Freya and Catherine greeted them politely at the same time.The butler explaine
Old Master Snow waved his hand nonchalantly. “That’s not necessary. You just have to compensate Rodney. Since you’ve ruined his reputation and made other women afraid to marry him, just use yourself as compensation to him.”Freya, “...”She was dumbfounded. What was Old Master Snow saying? Why did she not understand him at all?Catherine’s mouth twitched. “You mean you want Freya to… marry Rodney?”“Exactly.” Old Master Snow nodded. “We have no other choice. Rodney’s mother had arranged a marriage for him, but it was all ruined by you.”Then, he secretly gave his daughter-in-law a look. Wendy Collins said shamelessly, “Yes, that woman was a really good woman. They could have gotten married. You have to compensate him with a marriage.”“No.” Freya shuddered as her head shook like a rattle. “My family is too poor. People like me aren’t worthy of the Snow family.”Old Master Snow snorted. “We’ve already investigated your background. The Lynch family is one of the richest families i
Catherine had just told him not to follow her in the afternoon, but she sent him a WhatsApp message in the evening.Catherine naturally did not miss the smug look in his eyes and glared at him fiercely in annoyance.Shaun pretended not to see it and turned to greet the people of the Snow family. “Grandpa Derek, why did you call them here?” Old Master Snow motioned to Freya with his chin. “That lying girl ruined Rodney’s reputation, so I had no choice. I’m worried that Rodney won’t get a wife, so I want her to marry him.”Shaun was also shocked by the old man’s idea. “Does Rodney know about this?”“I mentioned it to him before.” Old Master Snow sighed deeply. “Shaun, Rodney isn’t young anymore. I can’t watch him wasting his life away like this.”Shaun was choked for a moment. He knew that Rodney had feelings for Sarah. “Grandpa, I have to bring these two people away today, so don’t make things difficult for them.”“They even prepared a savior beforehand.” Old Master Snow glared
Freya glanced at Shaun intentionally. “Cathy, I don’t want to follow in your footsteps. If Rodney tells me to get lost and I don’t, I might be put into a mental hospital. That’ll be too painful.”Shaun, “...”He really had the urge to throw Freya to the Snow family now.He had just made a little progress, but she ruined everything.“Right? That’s why you must be careful when finding a man,” Catherine said meaningfully. “Especially those men who lose their intelligence when they meet two-faced b*tches. You have to stay away from them.”After coming out of the Snows’ residence, Shaun was rebuked by them.He thought of himself as a smart and powerful man. Otherwise, he would not have been able to lead Hill Corporation while surrounded by jackals. However, in the eyes of these two women, he was just an idiot.It made his handsome face become contorted.“President Hill…” At that moment, Hadley pulled up in front of the three in a sedan. “You called me over to—”“Send Freya back.” S
“...”Catherine’s temples throbbed.Damn it! From the beginning till the end, Shaun only treated her like a chef. How did she fall in love with a b*stard like him before?Forget it. She would endure it for the sake of her plan.She closed her eyes and put on the apron before going to the kitchen to cook.Shaun sat in the living room watching TV. He looked back occasionally and saw the busy figure in the kitchen. His heart felt warm.Previously when he was alone here, he had felt that the place was empty and that something was missing. Now, he realized that it was missing a woman.He had never experienced this kind of feeling even when living at the seaside villa. Even though Sarah and Aunty Zara were there, he had never felt this way before.Catherine spent an hour and a half before she was finally done cooking the ribs and meat. She was so tired that her hands were numb and her stomach was growling.Shaun looked over and found that she had cooked a bowl of sweet and sour pork
