Late at night in the clubhouse.When Chester finally found Shaun, he was already drunk. However, the man was still holding a bottle of liquor in his hand and pouring the contents into his mouth.“Stop drinking. Your stomach won’t be able to stand it.” Chester took away the bottle of wine.“Give me the bottle!” Shaun’s drunken eyes were slightly red. He patted his chest hard and his voice was hoarse. “Only the stomachache will make it so it doesn’t hurt as much here. I’m not a f*cking human. How could I have… hurt her like that?”There was a complicated look in Chester’s eyes. Despite knowing Shaun for so long, it was the first time he saw Shaun… crying.He was really crying.“Don’t say that.” Chester sat beside him and lit a cigarette. “No one expected Logan Law to be framed.”“Chester, do you think… this was all Sarah’s doing?” Shaun looked at him blankly. “I don’t want to suspect her, but if she hadn’t said that she wanted Logan’s finger, I wouldn’t have chopped it off. If Tho
However, before the surgery...Shaun gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, tossing his phone to Chester. “Find Catherine’s number. Call her with your phone.”They were brothers for many years, so Chester immediately knew what Shaun was thinking of. However, he felt that Catherine would not come. Even so, looking at how Shaun’s handsome face had become pale, he could not help but call Catherine on his phone.“Hello.” A soft female voice sounded.Chester cleared his throat. “This is Chester. Shaun drank too much and got a hole in his stomach. He needs to undergo surgery—”“I’m not a doctor,” Catherine interrupted him directly and coldly.“He vomited blood.” Chester smiled bitterly. “Shaun is very regretful now. I’ve never seen him suffer so much. Can you come over? He really needs you.”“You’ve called the wrong person. I think the one he needs is Sarah. Don’t call me again. Even if he dies, there’s no need to inform me and get me to send flowers. After all, flowers cost m
Thomas was anxious. “Sarah, what should we do? If they ignore us in the future, it’ll be too difficult for us to gain a foothold in the capital.”“Shaun is just acting in a fit of anger and won’t leave me. Besides, Rodney is only temporarily locked up. The Snow family can’t lock him up for the rest of his life,” Sarah gritted her teeth and said.“Ugh, I thought you could use this opportunity to get back together with Eldest Young Master Hill, but you just barely missed it. Who would’ve thought that Catherine would actually win the case?” Thomas carefully looked askance at her. “Sarah, those two kidnappers were hired by you, right?”“Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t do anything.” Sarah glared at him fiercely. “Go back.”“Fine.” Thomas shrugged. She denied it, but he did not believe her.After Thomas left, Sarah immediately dialed a number angrily. “Aren’t your people too careless? It was the same with Lucifer’s case before. This time, there was surveillance footage left after kidnappi
The next day.Just as Catherine was making breakfast for Lucas, Joel suddenly got a call from Old Master Yule.“Joel Yule, you actually sold the shares of the company. This is our Yules’ family business which our ancestors left to us. Get to the company right now. Even if you can’t physically come here, you have to crawl over, you wicked thing!”The old master scolded so loudly that even Catherine heard it in the kitchen.“Dad…” She looked at Joel worriedly. “I guess Mr. Kawada went to the company.”“It’s fine. Since I had decided to sell them, I was already prepared to be scolded by your grandfather.” Joel smiled bitterly and helplessly.“Grandpa is very angry now. I’m afraid he won’t just stop at scolding you.” Catherine frowned.“The worst thing that can happen is that they expel me from the Yule family. I don’t care anymore.” Joel gave a long sigh.“I’ve obeyed your grandparents all my life. Back then, it was them who insisted on me being with Nicola, which led to me separa
“Catherine Jones, how could you do such a thing?”Melanie screamed at Catherine in anger. “It took hundreds of years for our ancestors to develop Yule Corporation to where it is today, but you ended up selling it to someone from Japan. Aren’t you afraid that our ancestors will crawl out of their graves to find you?”“Brother, you’re too muddle-headed. Were you encouraged by Catherine? Are you trying to make Mom and Dad die from anger? They gave you the company shares because they trusted you. If you didn’t want them, you could’ve told us. We could have bought the shares in your hands as shareholders. Why did you sell them to others?”Damien was so angry he wanted to vomit blood. He originally thought that by encouraging the old master to come back to the company, he would be able to come back as well and gain control of the company.However, Joel actually sold the shares and Kawada joined. In the future, Kawada could control Yule Corporation however he wanted.“You b*tch!”Old Ma
In the hospital.In front of the emergency room, Melanie could not help but glare at Catherine after she hung up the phone.“Look at what you’ve done. Just now, President Kawada said a board meeting will be held next week. From his tone, it sounds like he wants to sit in the position of chairman.”Catherine listened to her indifferently and gave her a side-glance. “Isn’t that obvious? Did you think a person like President Kawada would only want to take a share of the dividends after joining Yule Corporation?”“You…” Melanie was furious. “Catherine Jones, are you doing this on purpose? That's right. After all, your last name isn’t Yule. You don’t care who Yule Corporation belongs to. All people like you care about is money.”“You don’t say! Anyway, even if I’m my dad’s successor, you all love to ignore me and don’t acknowledge me at all in the company. I advised the shareholders not to open a joint venture company with Campos Corporation, but you all refused to listen.“So, I pers
“Catherine isn’t an illegitimate child.”“Since you didn’t marry her mom, it means she’s an illegitimate child. This kind of person isn’t qualified to be a part of the Yule family’s house. If you insist on acknowledging her, you’re no longer my son.” Old Madam Yule threatened Joel. “Dad is still in the emergency room, so I don’t want to argue with you.” Joel panted as he turned around. He was so pissed that his frail body was trembling.“Take a seat first, Dad.” Catherine promptly held him to the seat. “I'm going downstairs to buy you a bottle of water.”Melanie teased in a strange tone, “Even Granny isn’t seated yet despite her old age. You’re quite good at currying favors. No wonder you’ve got Uncle Joel wrapped around your hands.” Then, she turned around and brought Old Madam Yule to a seat.“You’re so understanding, unlike someone.” Old Madam Yule shook her head. She was extremely upset with Catherine.Joel was so infuriated that his face reddened. If it had not been for t
Catherine fixed her stony gaze on Shaun’s cautious look.She found it ludicrous. The corners of her mouth curled her lips into a mocking smile. “Do you think I’m here to visit you?” Catherine shrank from his grip. “We have nothing to do with each other anymore.”She then turned around to leave, but Shaun was quick enough to stand in front of her. Although he was sick, his tone was arrogant as usual. “When did I break up with you? Catherine, you’re still my girlfriend.”“Mr. Hill, you have such a poor memory. Let me remind you that you were holding onto Sarah’s arms intimately when you showed up at the court yesterday.”Catherine was really amazed by his shameless behavior. “Someone who’s ashamed won’t bring himself to say such things.”“You can treat me as shameless, then.”Shaun was reluctant to let go of her hand. He knew that he had wronged her a lot, so perhaps he should not disturb her as Hadley said. However, he could not stop thinking about her since last night.He ha
