Shaun continued to look at the photo. His tall and straight figure seemed to be surrounded by frostiness.He was completely dazed.He simply could not believe that Catherine was the one who got this man to kidnap Sarah.“You still trust her, huh?”Rodney snatched the photo and swung it in front of him. “Look, they’re the same. Don’t you get it yet? This is Catherine’s trap. You’ve been trapped!“She has long since arranged for someone to kidnap Sarah. After that, she lured you to Hobart so that she could get the man to kidnap Sarah. If I hadn’t learned about it and got there soon enough, Sarah might have been killed. This woman is too cruel!”Shaun remained motionless. He only gazed at Chester. “What do you think?”Chester’s eyes carried a complicated look. “I think… what Rodney said makes sense. Catherine has a motive, and what’s more, she knows the kidnapper. I previously reminded you that she might have a hidden agenda when she decided to be with you again.” “If you still r
“Just admit it.” Rodney scoffed. “Catherine Jones, I’m giving you two options now. You can either go to jail or let my subordinates have their fun with you. Only then will I let you off the hook.”Catherine chuckled. “For someone like you who isn’t even eligible to inherit the Snow family’s properties, you’re nothing. I’m sure this bunch of people are not the masters from Snow Corporation. If you guys have the guts, you can band together and attack me. Let me see how great you are.”Rodney was so exasperated that his expression changed drastically. At this moment, Shaun had rushed over.He slammed the brakes to stop in front of their cars. He immediately got out.He was still wearing the same shirt as when he had hurriedly left in the wee hours of the morning. Nevertheless, his exquisitely handsome face looked extremely fierce, which was completely different from his gentle appearance yesterday. At the sight of Shaun, Rodney snorted. “Shaun, you came at the right time. She’s admi
Shaun remained silent, but he clearly agreed with Rodney.As Catherine watched the glow in Shaun’s eyes dim little by little, her heart was overwhelmed with sarcasm. She mocked herself for being touched by his words 24 hours ago.After going through so many hardships, had it still not hit her that this man was a liar?When he wanted her, he could say everything.“Shaun, I just want to ask you one thing. What can I do so that you’ll let Logan go?” Catherine asked in a low voice.“Let him go?” Rodney reacted as if he had heard a joke. “Are you dreaming? He hurt Sarah. People like him should be tortured to death. By the way, why are you so worried about someone who works for you? Could it be that you’re having an affair with him?”“Watch your mouth.”As soon as Catherine warned Rodney severely, she could clearly sense the sudden fury in Shaun’s frosty eyes.Deep down, she was cursing Rodney. She even hoped that he would not have any descendants nor get together with the woman he l
Rodney had once destroyed the Snow family’s reputation previously, but that had to do with his private life. If he made a move against Catherine this time, it would most probably cause everyone to boycott the Snow family for the election next year.“If you plan to arrest me, you’d better have evidence first,” Catherine said nonchalantly. With that, she turned around to leave.“Hold on. You’re leaving, but have you asked me?” Shaun approached her with a stony expression. “Did I say you can leave?”Rodney’s eyes lit up. “Shaun, seize her and send her to Liona to torture her.”“You’re planning to seize me, huh?”Catherine looked into Shaun’s eyes, her gaze revealing a rare look of grimness.His heart tightened in an instant. Suddenly, he had no idea what to say.He knew if he did it, the conflict between them would intensify. However, now that she had done such a wicked thing, could he actually pretend that nothing had happened? “Shaun, why are you hesitating?” Rodney thundered,
At the car park.After the elevator went up, Shaun violently punched the glass window of his car. Blood flowed from his fist to the ground, yet he did not feel the slightest pain. His eyes reddened, and he was overwhelmed with grief.Catherine actually… pointed a gun at him.What could be more painful than knowing that his beloved woman had the thought of shooting him?Ha!Was she even in love with him? How could she be so brutal?“Shaun, aren’t you already clear about Catherine’s character by now? She has long since changed. She has changed so much that we can’t see through her now. Who would carry a gun with them?”Rodney said in exasperation, “She’s been hiding a lot of things from you. She’s probably not sincere being in this relationship with you. She doesn’t even love you. She got back together with you simply because she wanted to take revenge on Sarah. Don’t you see it?”“Shut up!” Shaun glowered at him frostily.“I’m just telling the truth. Wake up and look at what’
Even Nathan Snow, who was going to run for prime minister next year, was present.“Joel, what brings you here at this hour?” Old Master Snow asked with a grin.“Old Master Snow, I have an urgent matter to talk to you about.” A look of exasperation washed over Joel’s face. “If I had another choice, I wouldn’t have brought my daughter here. Jason, considering we’re acquaintances, I hope you’ll keep an eye on your son.”Jason was stunned. He had two sons. “You’re referring to…”“This afternoon, Rodney came to Hackett Institute and caused trouble for me.” Catherine turned on her phone and showed him a video. “This is the footage I got from the surveillance camera. Take a look at it. He crashed into me and destroyed my car.” The other members of the Snow family came over to watch the video on the phone. All of them saw Rodney pulling Catherine’s hair while dragging her out of the car. He even strangled her after he hit her car. From the footage, they could see that he brought a lot of
“Yes. When Sarah was in a relationship with Shaun, she was having an affair with a drug addict who was also a foreigner. If I’m not mistaken, they knew each other from her time overseas. Every week, Sarah would go to his apartment and sleep with him. The person who murdered the man hasn’t been found. Previously, the police suspected Sarah, but they didn’t find any evidence incriminating her.”This statement astounded everyone in the Snow family.After all, they were under no illusions that Rodney had been protecting Sarah in secret.Although Sarah’s tarnished reputation had caused an uproar lately, it was just a rumor, after all. The specific details of the incident were unknown.“Are you sure that you’re telling the truth?” A somber look washed over Jessica’s face. “Actually, Young Master Snow is aware of this matter as well, but he treats Sarah as a goddess. Sarah probably fooled these men by claiming that she had been forced to do those things.”Catherine spoke in a weak tone
Upon realizing that they had caused quite a commotion, Joel said, “It’s already late. We’ll leave first.”“You’re leaving just like that? Why don’t you stay and have coffee with us?” Jason rose to his feet.“No, we’re going to investigate the matter regarding Catherine’s bodyguard to find out who’s secretly framing Cathy. We must find out the truth.” Joel waved his hand before he left with Catherine. After they left, Old Master Snow asked with a deep voice, “Do you think what Joel and his daughter said is true?”Jason frowned. “I think… Catherine was telling the truth. Also, Joel is a gentleman.”“Yeah.” Wendy nodded as well. “Otherwise, Joel wouldn’t have been cuckolded by Nicola who had been having an affair with Damien for over ten years. Besides that, I've been fond of Catherine and Freya since the last time I met them. They’re unlike those people who have bad intentions. Well, onlookers see most of the game. Rodney and Shaun are both involved in the situation, so they’re not
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
