Catherine woke up the next day with a slightly upset stomach due to the few pints of beer she had last night.When she got up and washed her face, she received a call from Shaun. His voice was low. “Where did you go last night?”“I had something to do with a friend…”“Is that something drinking at a bar with him?” Shaun gritted his teeth and said gloomily, “Go read the news about yourself, Ms. Jones. I’ll reach your place in ten minutes. You better give me an explanation.”Then, he hung up.Catherine was shocked and used her phone to search for her news. The latest one was: [Yule Corporation’s heir talking and laughing with her mysterious boyfriend, behaving intimately.]The photo was of Logan and blurred figures of hers in the bar. “......”She narrowed her eyes and rubbed her brows. Fortunately, Logan’s face was not exposed, otherwise, it would be troublesome. After all, Logan was the only assistant she could trust completely.These reporters really had nothing better to do
Shaun was clearly upset, but why did Catherine not comfort him softly, or explain herself?As long as she begged him and promised not to go out with the opposite sex in the future, he could force himself to forgive her.However, this woman’s attitude was really too cold.“Catherine Jones, I don’t think you realize it, but since you’re my woman, it’s not that easy to break up. I’ll throw you away if I don’t want you, but it’s impossible for you to initiate a breakup.”Then, he slammed the door and left.In the room, Catherine called Logan helplessly. “You were photographed by a reporter. Hide for now and don’t show your face. I’ll contact you if something happens.”The next day, Shaun did not contact her.She went to the Yule family villa to accompany Lucas. When she arrived, Lucas was fiddling with a Lego Star Wars set.“Did Grandpa buy this for you?” Catherine looked at the box. It was a limited edition, so it should be quite expensive.“Uncle Wesley gave it to me. He came to
“Maybe you’re right…” Joel was taken aback by her words for a while and sighed sorrowfully.Catherine saw him hesitated and said, “Dad, if you can’t let go, leave this matter to me. After everything that has happened, don’t you understand? You value affection too much. Your guilt to Nicola, your brotherly love for Damien, and your love for Grandma and Grandpa. If it weren’t for all those, would you and my mom fall to where you are today? Tell me honestly. Are you happy?”Joel smiled bitterly. How could he be happy? Ever since finding out that Melanie was not his child, he regretted every moment.Those people treated him like a fool and hurt him and there were no sincere apologies at all.“Okay, Cathy. I’ll leave this to you.” Joel nodded. “I’ll hand over all my rights to you.”“Dad, when you start a new company, you can still open up new frontiers with a group of people who are loyal to you.”Catherine reminded him. “But don’t make this public. Otherwise, Grandma and Grandpa will
“You have her WhatsApp?” Shaun narrowed his eyes at Hadley. “And you chatted with her privately?”“......”Hadley flushed. “As your assistant, I added Ms. Jones’s WhatsApp for your own good. For example, when you’re upset, I can ask her to comfort you.”“But I’m not comforted by her now.” Shaun snorted coldly. “Did she tell you that she was going to Hobart?”“She mentioned it, but I…”“I know. She wants to tell me about this matter using your mouth.” Shaun scoffed. “She thinks that I’d become anxious if she leaves Canberra. She can dream on.”Hadley was speechless.He seriously suspected that President Hill was thinking too much.“Book me a plane ticket right now. I’m going to Hobart tonight.” Shaun suddenly ordered.“You’re going to… chase after Ms. Jones?” Hadley was stunned and taken off guard by the change of heart.“Of course not. I’m going to buy porcelain.” Shaun got up and packed up his stuff.Hadley wanted to cry. It was already so late, yet he had to accompany Shau
Catherine pointed to the large dragon motif and said, “If it’s a plate from the Kangxi period, it should have a history of at least several hundred years, and the jade should have been silicified long ago. Look, this area is too reflective, and in this spot, the glaze is too uneven. But it’s a good imitation. I offer two thousand.”The seller’s face was crimson in embarrassment by Catherine’s claim.Mr. Kawada glared at him. “You used a fake to scam me. You think I’m easy to fool because I’m not Chinese?”“I’m not. Anyway, I think that it’s real.” The seller slunk away with the plate in his arms.“Thank you, Miss.” Mr. Kawada smiled. “You look a little familiar.”“Many people say that I look familiar.” Catherine turned and tried to slip away shyly.“Wait, I remember now. You’re the heir of Yule Corporation. Your last name is… Jones…” Kawada hurriedly said. “Your father is Joel Yule, right?”“You’ve got the wrong person.” Catherine waved awkwardly.“Haha, no I didn’t. I’ve met y
Kawada was overjoyed. “Then let’s sign the contract at night. There’s no time like the present.”He was afraid this little girl would turn back and tell Joel, and Joel would disagree. After all, Yule Corporation was the country’s largest logistics company, and they were expanding fiercely in e-commerce as well. He had wanted to buy Yule Corporation for a long time.“Okay, then we’ll meet tonight. I need the secretary to send the contract over. But don’t tell anyone about it. I’m afraid of being scolded by my father. We’ll go to the company in a few days to transfer the shares.” Catherine said uneasily.“Sure, sure, sure. It’s settled, then.”Kawada shook hands with her and left happily.As soon as he left, Catherine grinned.Selling 40% of the Yule Corporation’s shares for 50 million. Not bad.When Kawada went to Yule corporation, it would surely stir up a storm. Damien, Melanie, and Charlie would definitely go mad.“Waiter, I’d like another cup of coffee…”She turned her head
“Catherine Jones, what are you planning?”Shaun’s gaze was odd. “You sold Yule Corporation’s shares just like that. Does your father know?”Yule Corporation was the country’s largest logistics company and had been developing rapidly in e-commerce especially in recent years. Many people were eyeing this juicy piece of meat, but Catherine handed it over so easily.“Yeah, I persuaded him to sell it.” Catherine shrugged coolly. “There’s internal strife in Yule Corporation, my grandfather is still ambitious at his old age, Damien and his daughter eye us covetously, and the shareholders are made from the same mold as Damien. It’s better to just sell them all. “Delta Co., Ltd. is a big company in Japan. After President Kawada enters Yule Corporation, he’ll definitely think about competing for power with my grandfather and uncles. It would be interesting to watch then.”Shaun was speechless.He imagined the image. Old Master Yule would probably want to vomit blood out of anger. The ance
“Don’t go to that hotel you went to yesterday. It’s too cheap.” Shaun brought Catherine into the car. “I have a private presidential suite in a five-star hotel here.” Catherine was astonished. “When did you invest in a hotel?”“I’ve been investing in a lot of places. You’ll slowly find out in the future.” Shaun rubbed the tip of her nose. “You need to know that none of the men in the whole of Australia is comparable to me.” Knowing that he was trying to imply something again, Catherine pretended that she did not understand his words.Once they arrived at the presidential suite, she was suddenly carried before she could even look around.“Shaun…” She wrapped her arms around his neck. Looking into the man’s burning eyes, she had a sinking feeling. “What are you planning to do in broad daylight…”“It’s not as if we’ve never done it in broad daylight.” Shaun immediately placed her on the bed and put his hands on both her sides. He added in a somber tone, “You’ve been giving me the
