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
“Okay,” Rodney replied.When he went to get the car, Mr. Lynch lamented, “Except for Rodney’s crooked personality, the rest of the Snow family is quite nice. They don’t have the arrogance that the typical large and wealthy families have.”“You’re absolutely right, Dad.” Freya nodded in agreement.However, Mrs. Lynch felt sorry for her. “Actually, Carson is quite good. Why weren’t you engaged to him instead?”… Soon, Rodney drove the car over.He hardly talked to Mr. and Mys. Lynch, but along the way, Freya was acting spoiled to her parents.It was clear that the Lynch family pampered Freya quite a lot. The Lynch family atmosphere seemed good, unlike some small local families who tried to curry favor with him the moment they heard that he was from the Snow family.Only after Mr. and Mrs. Lynch got on the plane that Freya and Rodney left.Rodney said directly, “I have no choice but to agree to this marriage for the time being, but don’t think too much about it. I’ll never like
“Stop talking nonsense.” Rodney was a little disturbed by what Freya said.“I’m just telling the truth.” At that, Freya turned around and hailed a cab.“You don’t want me to send you back?” Rodney blurted out.“I wouldn’t dare. You’re too noble. I’m afraid that you’ll throw me off a viaduct.” Freya immediately got in the car without staying back.Rodney was in a daze for a long time. This did not play out as he imagined.He thought that Freya would definitely pester him. After all, 10 percent of Snow Corporation’s shares was very tempting.Hold on. He had forgotten to remind her to take contraceptives.Fifty minutes later, Freya got out of the car, only to see Rodney show up at the community gate.“What do you want this time?” Freya’s mood turned sour as soon as she saw that idiot.“Eat this.” Rodney handed her a box of contraceptives with evasive eyes. “I can’t let you be pregnant with my child.”Freya’s heart chilled.Why was she so unlucky in her life? First, she met Patr
… At night, a business banquet was in progress.Shaun stood on the open-air balcony, under the night sky, with a wine glass in his hand.His deep and gloomy eyes looked through the window at the brilliant and spectacular party inside.He would not have come if the host had not been a partner for many years.He was not at all interested in events like this.If he had not fallen out with Catherine, she might have accompanied him to this banquet. With her, the banquet would not be so boring.Perhaps it was because he had drunk a little, but Shaun’s mind was filled with a ruthless thought.He missed her. He wanted to drag her into his arms tightly and kiss her hard.Suddenly, a man and woman came out. “Hubby, why did you ask me for Nebula’s contact information just now?”“It’s because of Wesley Lyons from Golden Corporation.” The man explained, “He thought that the dress you wore during our wedding was beautiful, so he asked me for Nebula’s contact.”“Why is a man like him goin
On the second-floor window of the villa, Lucas’s nimble little body climbed up to the window and glanced out. “Mommy, Shaun is at the gate again.”These nights, Shaun would always stop his car at the Yule family villa’s entrance, and sometimes, he would only leave after Catherine left for work.Catherine was already used to it.“Don’t mind him. Go to sleep.”Catherine carried Lucas down from the chair and pulled the window shutters, afraid that Shaun’s sharp eyes would see Lucas.“Mommy, if he’s always here, what will happen if he finds out that you’re getting married to Uncle Wesley?” Lucas said worriedly.“He won’t. When the time comes, I’ll have the company declare that I’m on a business trip and will be gone for a few days.” Catherine rubbed his little head to comfort him. “Lucas, will you… mind that Mommy is getting married?”“No. I’m glad that Mommy has finally found someone who will treat you well,” Lucas said seriously. “And Uncle Wesley is very good to Suzie and me. Of
