In the sports car, Suzie lay in Catherine’s embrace. Tears streaked her face. “Mom, is it very painful? I no longer like scummy dad. Don’t be together with him anymore.”“It’s okay. I’m fine.” Catherine touched Suzie’s head. “Suzie, you did a good job today. I’m sorry that I used you.”If she could, she did not want her children to be exposed to such dirty stuff.“It’s okay, you only did it to rescue Uncle Logan anyway. Besides, Uncle Austin kept playing with me,” Suzie whispered.“Go play with Uncle Liam later. I still need to search for evidence to prove Uncle Logan’s innocence.” Catherine kissed Suzie’s forehead. “I’ll look for you after I finish my work, okay?”“Mm, Suzie will be a good girl.” Suzie sniffed and nodded her head.“Do you need help?” Liam asked.“No, you just need to help me take good care of Suzie.” Catherine shook her head. That matter was too complicated. She was afraid something would happen to Liam as well.“It’s my fault for being useless.” Liam smiled b
Liam clenched his fists and said discontentedly, “I can’t leave now. Suzie’s too young. You can let other people do this…”“There are many people to take care of Suzie. Besides, you’re too close with that vicious woman, Catherine. I don’t feel reassured letting you raise Suzie. I don’t hope there’ll be another day when Suzie becomes a hostage again. She’s young and doesn’t know anything. You’re her father, yet you joined hands with someone else and used Suzie to threaten me. Have you ever thought if Catherine was being serious, Suzie might’ve died at any moment?”Shaun glared at Liam. “I’m the head of the Hill family and Suzie is part of the Hill family. I have the right to decide everything related to you all.”“You’re really a bossy and arrogant person.” Liam was exasperated. “Why do you think so badly of Cathy? You falling in love with her really is her rotten luck.”“Love?” Shaun sneered. “Someone like her doesn’t deserve my love. I was blind back then. From now on, I don’t wis
“That won’t happen. I’ll take over the case myself,” Shaun said in a low voice.“That’s great. There’s no lawsuit that Shaunic can’t win.” Sarah raised her head and smiled at him....At night, in the Hill family’s manor.Shaun came back, though it was rare of him. Old Madam Hill did not feel comfortable after looking at him. “Has the sun risen from the west today? You actually have the time to come back? What’s that in your hand?” “The newest Barbie doll.” Shaun brought it over to Suzie who was having snacks. “I’m giving this to you, okay?”He was not someone who would care about a child’s feelings, but Suzie’s words yesterday had hurt his heart. He could not sleep for the whole night.He did not understand why he was so concerned about Liam’s daughter. It was really strange.“No.” Suzie evaded him. She ran over to Old Madam Hill’s side and lowered her head.Old Madam Hill glared at Shaun and snapped, “You transferred her dad to work at the lower ranks and made him a laughin
“Of course, I can.” Suzie planted her hands on her small waist. “In this big manor, Uncle, Great-grandma, Great-grandpa, Grandma, and Granduncle all genuinely like me, but Grandpa, Grandaunt, and my Great-grandma, Great-grandpa, and uncles and aunts from my father’s side don’t like me.”Shaun was startled and only reacted after a long time. “You mean your grandpa and your grandparents, aunts, and uncles from the Campos family don’t like you?”“Yeah, when Daddy brought me to the Campos family, they all ignored me. Another big brother even bullied me. He was clearly in the wrong, but Grandpa told me to apologize to him.” Suzie lowered her head and clenched her little fists.“I grew up with Mommy since I was little, so I’m very good at reading people’s expressions.” Shaun’s heart clenched painfully, but he could not tell why. “Don’t go to the Campos family anymore. If you’re bored, come and find me.”“No need. I don’t like Aunty Sarah, and I know she doesn’t like me either.” Suzie s
Shaun was slightly stunned.It was true that it had been years since he took on a lawsuit. If Thomas had not spoken in the hospital that day, he might not have chosen to go to court in person.He had to say that Thomas’ words really pushed Catherine and him to the brink.Deep in his heart, there was a strong flash of irritation and annoyance. However, when he thought about it carefully, he knew she had already cut off the last trace of love between them when she used Suzie to threaten him.Since she did not know how to cherish him, why should he care?“Enough, I know what I’m doing. Go out,” Shaun said coldly.Hadley closed the door behind him and sighed. When he saw Eldest Young Master Hill and Catherine reconcile, he had hesitated on whether he should tell him about the truth of the children after they got married.However, it seemed there was no need now. Eldest Young Master Hill would always be unconditionally partial to Sarah. Even if he knew he loved Catherine, nothing wou
Catherine closed her eyes and finally gritted her teeth. “Get out.”The next few days, Catherine and Austin were bustling about to find evidence....It was Tuesday in the blink of an eye. When Wesley came to visit her, he saw that her eyes were bloodshot and her face seemed to have slimmed down. His heart clenched. “You’re going to court tomorrow. Have you found any evidence?”“Yeah.” Catherine rubbed her tired eyes. “We found some evidence. There’s a chance of winning, but it’s not big.”“Oh?” Wesley’s eyes flashed meaningfully. “What is it? I’m quite curious.”“I won’t say it now. You’ll find out tomorrow,” Catherine said worriedly, “But the chances of winning are very small. After all… the opposing side is Shaun Hill, who has never lost before. Tomorrow, rather than letting the judge pronounce that Logan is innocent, we’re actually trying to convince Shaun. As long as he understands that Logan was framed, there’s a chance we can win.”“Not necessarily,” Wesley reminded her,
“It’s good that you know,” Wesley said with a smile. “It’s just like how I have you in my heart. Even if I know you won’t accept me, I’ll still automatically draw a clear line with other women. In my opinion, true love and loyalty should be like this.”“Yes, I know who is worth cherishing now.” Catherine held Wesley’s hand. “Thank you for always waiting for me. I don’t want to let you down anymore.”“That’s great.” Wesley’s gentle and elegant face was overcome with joy.He excitedly hugged Catherine and spun her around. “Cathy, I’ve waited too long for this day. I’m not dreaming, am I? You won’t leave me for Shaun again later, right?”“No, but I won’t let Sarah and her brother off. I have to get revenge on behalf of Charity’s family,” Catherine gritted her teeth and said.“Okay, I’ll accompany you in the future.” Wesley reached out to hold her tight, his face full of satisfaction and joy....8:00 a.m. the next morning.A Bentley appeared at the court.After the car was parked
Geez, the man was even driving a Santana that was worth just a few tens of thousands of dollars. How incompetent was he?“Yes, this is Mr. O’Neill.” Catherine shook hands with the lawyer enthusiastically.Mr. O’Neill’s smile was very forced. When Shaun’s sharp line of sight swept over him, his legs turned to jelly.“Holy sh*t, where did you find such a garbage lawyer?” Thomas could not help but burst into laughter. “Eldest Young Master Hill, look at his clothes. I’m guessing they’re ready-made clothes. Even the soles on his leather shoes are peeling. My stomach is going to ache from all this laughing.”Shaun also frowned deeply at Catherine. This was the lawyer she got for Logan?Catherine smiled without saying anything from beginning to end. She only looked at them quietly.When Thomas was done laughing, he wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, “Mr. O’Neill, if I may ask, how much did she spend to hire you?”“Not much, around 2,000 dollars,” Mr. O’Neill said, embarrassed
