The gates gradually opened after some time.

Rebecca approached her while shielding herself from the rain under an umbrella. A smug look washed over her face. “Cathy, thanks a lot. Your design earned me the right to this project. You really are talented.”

Catherine lifted her head, her blood-red eyes glowing with anger.

The other woman smiled. “Don’t get too upset. The project would’ve belonged to me with or without your design. Ethan had already pulled the strings for me. Perhaps you have no idea that his uncle is a good friend of President Sawyer? Your design was just a prop to the plan.”

Uncle… Shaun?

Catherine felt as if a wild animal was tearing her heart into pieces with its sharp claws. Her breathing became erratic.

She had genuinely felt grateful to him for giving her a chance.

Little did she know that he had already decided the ending beforehand. Why did he lie? He knew how much effort she had poured into this project.

Her vision blurred, but she could not tell if it

    With that, Ethan picked Rebecca up into his arms and walked toward the Lamborghini.When his car sped into the distance, leaving her behind for the second time, Catherine decided to give up her affection for him.Starting from this moment, any love she felt for him before was replaced by hatred and despise.“Oh, you poor thing.” James walked toward her while holding an umbrella, smiling with his eyes narrowed. “The young lady of the Jones family who was once above everyone else has now lost all her power.”Exhausted, she could not be bothered to deal with the man. She started walking toward her car in silence.His voice rang behind her. “Uncle Jeffery and Aunt Sally will definitely be informed of today’s incident. It’s obvious that they favor Rebecca over you. Don’t dream of heading back to the Jones family anymore because no one there welcomes your presence.”Slam! She shut the door and drove away.His words were not news to her, but it did not matter. Her life was miserable en

    “Who?”“Catherine Jones! She’s drinking alone at the bar. Ah, she’s still as beautiful as ever.”Janet instantly became agitated. “That b*tch.”She would never forget the humiliation she suffered from being thrown out of the restaurant last time. That incident made her the laughing stock among the elites of Melbourne.She was pleased to hear about what happened in the bidding event today.However, that was not enough. She wanted to destroy her completely. Little did she expect the opportunity to fall upon her so soon.“Zayn Larson, are you still interested in her?”“Well, not really, but she has always looked down on me back when we were in school. I’m quite curious to see what it’s like,” Zayn said crudely, “for her to beg for my forgiveness.”“Sure, I’ll give you the opportunity.”Janet told him the plan. A surge of passion washed through him like waves. “Are you sure about this—”“Don’t worry, I’ll back you up. Catherine has no one on her side now. If something like this h

    Shaun got into a fit of rage after he finished speaking. “Didn’t I ask you to ensure a fair bidding?”Chase looked grim. “Earlier, I told President Sawyer to give Imperial Design a chance and carry out the competition in a fair manner. Perhaps President Sawyer assumed that I allowed the small company to participate in the bidding to gain popularity. He wasn’t aware of my intention to take care of Catherine.” Shaun rubbed his forehead. It was no wonder Catherine was eliminated despite her wonderful design. Moreover, she seemed strange earlier this evening.After some thought, he took out his phone to call Hadley. “Help me check what happened during the bidding today.”Chase said, “I can easily find out about it by asking around.”Shaun scoffed. “I have no faith in you.”Chase turned glum. After giving it a thought, he realized that the issue stemmed from his negligence.At that instant, the phone kept vibrating due to an influx of group messages.Upon viewing the messages, Chas

    “Who are you?” In a panic, Zayn got up swiftly.Shaun felt like vomiting at the sight of his fat body. With a glance at the bed, he noticed Catherine’s swollen face and her loose shirt that was torn in half. In a fit of fury, Shaun punched Zayn violently in the face.“The person who’s sending you to jail.”Given that Shaun was strong and brutal, Zayn was beaten to the ground in no time.Shaun frantically removed the cameras and threw them at Zayn. After that, he took off his suit and quickly wrapped it around the woman on the bed.“Catherine, how are you feeling?” He did not dare to touch her swollen face. He just patted her on the back.“Don’t… Don’t touch me.”Catherine was still quite dizzy. Upon her realization that someone was trying to touch her, she protested with quivering lips. Tears began to pour down her face as well.She had always been arrogant, pretty, and mischievous.At times, she would cause Shaun to grit his teeth. Nevertheless, seeing the woman’s current s

    At that moment, Janet’s phone rang. Someone called her and said, “Miss Campbell, Zayn has been arrested by the police.”“Find a way to bail him out.”“Well… I’m afraid that’s not possible. Young Master Harrison pulled some strings and requested us to put Zayn in jail forever. We can’t afford to provoke the Harrison family.”Janet’s heart sank. “Try to tell Zayn to shut his mouth for the sake of his family.”“Alright.”…In the hospital.Catherine woke up because of the pain on her face.She opened her eyes, only to find herself in the hospital. She wondered who sent her here.While she was in a daze, Shaun’s handsome face flashed across her mind.“You’ve woken up,” the man beside her spoke.When she turned her head, she saw Shaun rising to his feet from the couch with a reproachful look in his eyes. “As a married woman, you actually went to the pub alone for a drink. Catherine, you’re brainless.”At first, she was slightly touched. Before she could even speak, his reproach

    Catherine clutched the blanket. Considering that the Jones family already disliked her, she could no longer return to their house for sure.She laughed while feeling inwardly upset. “It’s okay. I’m not bothered.”Anyway, no one really cared about her.After not speaking for two seconds, Shaun turned around and said to Chase, “Go and pull some strings to get the police to praise Catherine on their public platform for being an undercover agent. If it hadn’t been for her who cooperated with the police, the police wouldn’t have been able to seize those people who broadcast illegal live videos such as Zayn Larson.”Catherine was momentarily stunned. She gazed at him with a puzzled look.Was he afraid that she would destroy his reputation or did he really care about her?She could not seem to figure him out.Chase raised his thumb. “Awesome. That way, I believe people won’t gossip about Sister-in-law but praise her instead. I’m going to settle it now.”After Chase walked away, Cather

    After finishing a bowl of rice, Catherine lay down with Shaun’s help. “That… Have you seen my phone?”“No, I haven’t. Someone probably threw it away after you fainted. I’ll buy you one afterward.”Once Shaun was done speaking, his phone rang.He walked out with his phone and saw Hadley waiting outside.“Young Master Hill, I’ve investigated the issue regarding the bidding. I heard that when the designer of Summit, Rebecca Jones, introduced her masterpiece during the bidding event yesterday, Miss Jones claimed in a state of agitation that Rebecca had stolen her masterpiece.”“Was there such a thing?” Shaun’s eyes revealed astonishment.“President Sawyer had asked Miss Jones to provide evidence. Miss Jones claimed that the evidence was stored in the laptop but later said that the evidence has been destroyed. She criticized Henry Moore from Imperial Design, saying that it was his doing despite not having evidence of it. After that, she fell out with Imperial Design in public and was

    What depressed Catherine the most was that she did not even have the strength to take off her pants. Ultimately, she needed Shaun’s help.By the time she got back onto bed, she was so embarrassed that she snuggled under the blanket.Deep down, Shaun found it amusing. He was even wondering if she had been feigning shamelessness when she flirted with him back then.…An hour later, Shaun found a caregiver for Catherine.However, Catherine had fallen asleep by then. He had a lawsuit to dispute the next morning, and he had not prepared the documents yet. Therefore, he gave orders to the caregiver and subsequently left.When Catherine woke up in the middle of the night, she found a gentle-looking woman who looked to be about 40 years old on the edge of the couch.Upon noticing hearing some sounds, the woman woke up and explained, “I’m the caregiver Mr. Hill has hired to take care of you.”“Oh.” Catherine was momentarily stunned.She had previously asked him to get her a caregiver,

    Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity

    A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester

    Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its

    “You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis

    Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do

    Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in

    “I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y

    “Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m

    Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
