“Dad, you misunderstood. I was set up.” Freya had no choice but to explain the whole incident.Mr. Lynch remained silent for quite a while before he said, “In that case, Rodney has to be responsible for you. The Snow family has already contacted me. Your mom and I are coming to Canberra today to have a meal with the Snow family.”“Oh.”Freya did not expect the Snow family to be so swift in their actions. Hence, she gave it some thought and told Mr. Lynch her plan.Mr. Lynch was enraged when he heard it. “What? Rodney said you seduced him? He must be blind. My daughter is so beautiful, yet he looks down on you. Fine. I’ll go along with whatever you want to do. Although the Snow family is a wealthy family, the Lynch family has never thought of relying on them. Your mom and I will cooperate with you in this act.”“Thank you, Dad.” Freya was so touched that she blew him a kiss.Catherine, who watched her from the side, was envious. In fact, she envied the atmosphere that Freya’s fami
“Sarah, you’re the woman I love.” Rodney grabbed her hand frantically and said passionately, “For you, I can give everything up.”“What… What do you mean?” Sarah had a bad feeling about this.Rodney laughed bitterly. “My sister told me if I don’t acknowledge Freya as my fiancee, the Snow family will blacklist Osher Corporation. And that cold-blooded woman, Jessica, can really do it. If the Snow family oppresses me, I may lose everything, but it’s okay. I still have some savings. I’m happy as long as I have you.”“...”Sarah was stunned.She already loathed Rodney for losing his right of succession to the Snow Corporation. If he lost Osher Corporation too, then what else would he have? They had to live on with that little bit of savings he had?How long could that tiny amount of savings last?Perhaps she would have to take care of Rodney and Thomas, the two useless things, with that small amount of separation fee that Shaun had given her.Besides, if she were to be with Rodney,
... After leaving the seaside villa, Rodney called Chester out. He was in a bad mood.However, when he went over, he realized Shaun was there too. Shaun had a straight face, and he wore a black shirt and a pair of black pants. He looked exactly like a living king of hell.“Why are you here too?”Rodney could not stand the sight of Shaun.Shaun frowned his brows and looked at him, to which Chester hurriedly said, “Shaun heard you got into trouble, so he was quite worried. Rodney, we’re all childhood friends who grew up together. Do we have to be like this because of a woman?”“It’s not any other woman. It’s Sarah!” Rodney’s tone was very aggressive. “Shaun, in the end, it’s your fault that Sarah is so miserable. If it weren’t for you, the Snow family wouldn’t oppose her. She’s really a good lady. Although I did her wrong, she’s still so considerate of me.”“Really?” Chester adjusted his glasses and exchanged glances with Shaun.“In what way is she considerate of you?” Shaun was
Seeing Rodney’s prejudiced appearance made Shaun really want to throw him into the toilet and pour some cold water on him to wake him up.However, it would probably be no use, just like how he was before.He did not believe anything anyone said. It was as if he was possessed.“Come on. Drink if you’re in a bad mood. You’ll have no worries when you’re drunk.” Chester poured beer for Rodney.Only when Rodney was drunk and asleep on the sofa did Chester light a cigarette and sighed faintly.“Why do I feel like Sarah isn’t trying to help him succeed at all? She just dislikes that he has nothing without Osher.”“I feel so too.” Shaun gave him a strange look. “Didn’t you believe in Sarah before?”“She’s too good at pretending. Maybe Sarah changed three years ago, but we didn’t notice.”Chester glanced at him. “You didn’t go to the press conference yesterday, but it was quite a night. Freya wore a dress the same color as Sarah, and Rodney dragged Freya upstairs and forced her to chang
Catherine drove in and saw a black Aston Martin parked beside her exclusive parking space.Shaun sat at the front of the car, wearing a white shirt that was loosely tucked into his trousers. He probably had lost some weight recently as his clothes looked a little loose.“Shaun Hill, why are you here? I believe I’ve made myself very clear.” Catherine slammed the door as she got off. Her tone sounded impatient.Shaun’s heart ached.All this while, he did not come to look for her at the company because he was afraid that she would look at him with such cold eyes.“I have something to talk to you about. It has to do with your friend, Freya.”“What is it?” Catherine paused.“Are we going to talk here? Let’s go to your office.” Shaun walked towards her.“...Fine.”Catherine frowned. If it was about Freya, then she had to agree.Once they were upstairs, she said directly, “Spit it out.”Shaun looked around. “Is this how you treat your guests? Where’s the cup of tea?”“If you’re he
Catherine looked astonished.She had never thought that the high and mighty Shaun Hill would propose such compensation.In his eyes, Logan was just a bodyguard. With Shaun’s previous character, there was no way he would use his own fingers to compensate. When Shaun saw that she had stopped talking, a hint of determination flashed in his narrow dark eyes. “As long as you can forgive me, I’m willing to compensate him with my own finger. He can even cut it off himself.”He held out his hand and looked at her with burning eyes.It was just a finger. Without it, he could still hug and kiss her.The pain of losing a finger would definitely not be as deep as the pain of her hating and avoiding him.Catherine glanced at his fingers. She had known before that his fingers were slender and clean, but she had never seen a man’s fingers look as good as his.“No need.” She turned away and said faintly, “What’s the point of cutting off your finger? Logan can’t attach it to his anyway.”Shau
“Yeah.” Catherine sighed softly. “But he is much more powerful than he was before. Nothing good will happen if we fight him with force.”Wesley looked deep into her eyes. He wanted to comfort her that the Hill Corporation would fall soon, but unfortunately, she would not understand it now. “Cathy, why don’t we… register our marriage. Once we register, we’ll be lawfully wedded, and Shaun won't be able to do anything.”“Register?”Catherine was utterly shocked.She had just agreed to the proposal, yet they were registering so soon? She blanked out for a moment.“Yes. Is it too sudden? Did I scare you?” Wesley said with shame, “Cathy, I have no choice either. I don’t want to lose you again. Don’t worry, the registration and the ceremony will be held at the same time. Let’s have our wedding back in Melbourne so as not to tip Shaun off. I don’t want to be like Shaun. Even though you were wedded to him, you didn’t even get a decent wedding.”“Thank you.” Catherine felt relieved when sh
“You know very well whether you’re stuck in traffic or deliberately dawdling.”Jessica said coldly, “You want me to leave Osher alone, yet you also want to give the Lynch family and me an attitude. I don’t think you understand your situation.”At that, she ended the call.After she returned to the room, no one asked when Rodney was coming either.However, ten minutes later, Rodney rushed into the room, panting.His handsome face was flushed because he ran three kilometers in a few minutes, and he could not utter a word for a long time.Jason smiled and said, “President Lynch, you can rest assured now. Our Rodney is very sincere. Look, he used up all his strength running over here.”Mr. Lynch glanced at Rodney but did not think highly of him.Rodney was wearing a pair of jeans and a floral shirt. He did look beautiful, but why should a man be beautiful?Before this, Patrick was handsome as well, but his character was not great. Why did his daughter always meet such men?Fortun
