Catherine was taken aback. She drastically changed her attitude toward her father. “Won’t it be… too troublesome?” “It’s just a small matter.” Joel carelessly touched her long hair. “Even if you plan to divorce in the future, you won’t feel that you owe Wesley.”“Dad…” Catherine was shocked that the word came out of her mouth without her realizing it.Joel was overjoyed. “Say that once again.”Awkward, Catherine lowered her head and kept quiet.Joel smiled. “I’ve experienced the first flush of love as well. When I parted briefly with your mom back then, I was so frustrated that I couldn’t stop thinking about her, which is different from how you guys behaved just now. I can see that he likes you. But once you boarded the plane, I think you were relieved instead.” Catherine did not utter a word. Compared to Jeffery, Joel was much better in that he was observant and was really concerned about her. Perhaps she would be able to feel the long-lost fatherly warmth during her trip to C

“That’s very understanding of you.” A look of relief crossed Joel’s face. At the sight of Melanie’s indignant expression, Catherine found it amusing deep down. Little did she expect that she would be able to put Rebecca’s hypocritical tactics to good use one day. Anyway, hypocrisy was quite an effective strategy.“Dad, although you’ve brought me home, you can’t always take my side and only praise me because you feel sorry for me. It’ll upset Melanie and destroy our sisterhood as well as family peace. Even though I’ve decided to come home, I don’t wish to affect your family.”Joel was extremely touched. Compared to the coquettish and conceited Melanie whom he raised, Catherine was much more understanding. “Come, let me show you your room. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you’re not satisfied with it.”Seeing the two of them enter the manor, Melanie flew into a fit of rage. “Mom, this lady is such a scheming b*tch!” Nicola frowned deeply. She had assumed that it would be easy to d

The door was pushed open with a bang.Old Madam Hill came in and said in a huff, “You’re actually hiding in here! I’m purposely holding this banquet for you so that you can pick your future wife, but here you are hiding silently. Are you not planning to get a wife?” “No,” Shaun answered indifferently.“...”Old Madam Hill was overwhelmed by fury. “You have to go out now even if you don’t feel like doing it. Since you’re the eldest grandson in the direct lineage of the Hill family, you must get married. Sarah is already dead. When are you going to stop putting this off?” Shaun, who was flipping through the document with his slender fingers, paused for a moment.Old Madam Hill tore the document apart and tossed it aside. “You can work anytime but not today. Go and pick a woman tonight, or I’ll bang my head in front of you until I die.”“Granny…” Shaun rubbed his forehead. This was exactly why he had not wanted to return. As a man who was going to turn 30 soon, he was always bein

In the morning, Catherine went downstairs after a poor night’s sleep. The atmosphere in the living room was quite different.Joel sat still on the couch while Melanie hugged his arm and said with delight, “Dad, you don’t know how enthusiastically Elder Young Master Hill behaved toward me last night. Among all the ladies, he took a fancy to me at first glance and even invited me to dance with him. Old Madam Hill also had a long chat with me, asking me to be his girlfriend.”Nicola grinned from ear to ear. “Melanie is the bearer of good fortune. I knew she could find her Mr. Right with her beauty and talent, but I just didn’t expect her to be able to marry Elder Young Master Hill. Goodness, Elder Young Master Hill is the richest man in Australia. The whole Hill family’s assets will all go to her in the future.”“Don’t forget there’s Liam in the family.” With a frown, Joel reminded Nicola and Melanie at the sight of their expressions. “So what? Although everyone knows that Elder Youn

Catherine was not interested in Yule Corporation. Even so, she visited the office as she could not bring herself to refuse Joel’s kind offer.She only returned from the office with Joel at 5:00 p.m.The lanterns which had been lit up in the Yule household shone brightly. Many costly plants and flowers were also added to the courtyard that had been thoroughly cleaned. When they entered the manor, Nicola was ordering the servants to clean the surrounding area.Melanie had changed into a branded chic woolen top that was the most expensive haute couture this season. She wore a skirt which was paired with a pair of tights. There was also a fleece scarf wrapped around her shoulders. She deliberately had her long hair styled as well. The front of her hair was curled and the back of it was braided. She looked like a princess.“Hubby, I heard you took Cathy… to the office today, did you?” Nicola approached Joel and asked knowingly.“Is there anything wrong with taking my own daughter t

Catherine’s face slowly turned pale.She experienced a tight feeling in her chest, which caused her some pain. If possible, she wished she would never have to see him again in her life.“You’re here, Young Master Hill!” Melanie coquettishly approached Shaun and hooked her arm through his as if they were a couple in the first flush of love. “Yeah.” Shaun frowned almost imperceptibly, wondering what was wrong with the woman. They had only danced together yesterday, but she acted intimately toward him as if they had been in a relationship for a long time.Just when he was about to break free from her grasp, Joel and Nicola approached him.“Hello, Young Master Hill.” Joel gently shook Shaun’s hand.“Hello, Uncle Joel. It’s my first time visiting you. Sorry to bother you.”When it came to interacting with Joel, Shaun treated him with courtesy and respect.“Of course not. It’s our honor to have you here,” Nicola hurriedly replied while full of smiles. Joel glanced at his wife help

Shaun curled his pretty lips and gave a small smile. “Looks like I’m not welcome here. I shall just leave then…”The minute he turned around, everyone began to panic. Melanie clutched his arm tightly and thundered. “Dad, ask Catherine to apologize now!”Joel clenched his fist. If Shaun walked out of the Yule household shortly after he entered, all the powerful figures in Canberra would know that he had offended the Hill family. In that case, the Yule family would be isolated in Canberra. “Cathy, just… apologize.”As soon as he finished the sentence, he gave a bitter smile and sighed. Feeling dumbfounded, Catherine clenched her fist. She had never been so disgusted by Shaun’s handsome face before. How did she even fall for such a person back then? She took a long and deep breath knowing that she had to give in this time. “Sorry, Elder Young Master Hill. I haven’t seen much of the world and have no idea how to behave decently in the city. I come from the countryside, so I hope you

Catherine did not bother to watch the scene as she found it disgusting.Why had she fallen for such a man previously? He actually took a fancy to a woman like Melanie!When it was finally time for dinner, Catherine said bluntly, “As an illegitimate daughter, I have no right to eat with Elder Young Master Hill. I’ll have my dinner in the kitchen.” This time, she immediately headed to the kitchen before anyone could speak.Shaun pulled a long face while Melanie conceitedly said, “It’s good that she is self-aware.”Although Joel was gnashing his teeth, he did not feel like saying a word.The chef had spent the whole day preparing the dinner as instructed by Nicola. However, Shaun stopped eating after having two mouthfuls of food. Ever since he broke up with Catherine, he had not had a hearty meal. He always found himself hungry. “Elder Young Master Hill, are these dishes not tasty enough to satisfy your tastebuds?” Nicola asked cautiously.“I’m full as I had some fruits and nu

Catherine glanced at Shaun incredulously, only to find him smiling. It soon turned to a somber expression as he waited to watch the drama unfold.She gritted her teeth. What a wicked man he was! “Excuse me, I’m a few months older than you. Clearly, my mom got together with my dad much earlier. Please watch your mouth. Also, I didn’t seduce him.”“Hah, are you saying that Elder Young Master Hill is playing a joke on you?” Melanie criticized Catherine in a huff. “Just look at Elder Young Master Hill’s status. He’s a prominent figure whereas you’re just a cheap person. I’ve met a lot of b*stards like you who are of low rank yet ambitious.”Catherine lowered her eyes, her lashes shaking slightly.Shaun frowned in spite of himself. He was suddenly annoyed even though he was the one who wanted to pull a prank on Catherine.Previously, he could not form an impression of Melanie. Right now, however, he only felt that she was irritating and ill-mannered. She did not behave like a young lad

“Enough. Catherine is my daughter, and I’ve owed her for over 20 years. This is my house and also my home. She can stay here however long she wants. If the two of you are not happy about it, you can move out,” Joel replied mercilessly.Nicola’s face flushed with rage. At last, she glared at Catherine before she walked away. “Fine. If there are any changes to Melanie’s marriage arrangements, I won’t let her off the hook.”As soon as Nicola finished speaking, she left in a huff.“Dad, I didn’t seduce Young Master Hill,” Catherine said seriously. She did not care about how others viewed her, but if Joel believed in what the others said, she would be really disappointed in him. Joel let out a sigh. “I believe you. Young Master Hill probably misunderstood that you’re an illegitimate child, which is why he holds a grudge against you.”Catherine was slightly dazed. Joel then explained it to her, “Young Master Hill’s background is quite pitiful. His mother, Lea, was a golden girl who was
