“Of course not. She only does those dishonest tricks on me.” Shaun scoffed.“...”Chase was speechless.It kind of sounded like that man was boasting.‘Whatever, Catherine doesn’t even care about you right now.’He mocked internally before saying, “Given the Jones family’s previous history, they probably won’t let this go unsettled. They locked her up last time and it almost took her life. Do you think she might be in danger again? Should I get someone to keep an eye out on her?”Shaun returned to reading the documents. “Not unless she comes begging for my help.”A few seconds later, he said, “But they should’ve looked before they leaped. The Jones family really isn’t showing me any respect at all. I want this clip to go viral online as soon as possible. Besides, prohibit every media platform to take it down.”“Um… Sure.”Chase did not bother mocking the man anymore. Just seconds ago, Shaun had literally declared he would not lend a hand unless she came begging, yet…“Go on t

Shaun smiled coldly instead of trying to stop Catherine from leaving. “One word from me and no one in Australia will dare to take on the case for our divorce. Go ahead and try if you don’t believe me, but when that time comes, you’ll have to stay with me for 30 years instead of three.”She turned around to glare at him. Honestly, she had no clue who she was dealing with.She could not say he was an average man as Chase Harrison seemed to be his best friend.She could not say he was from an affluent family as he did not drive a luxurious car or live in a mansion.“I’ll not surrender to your blackmail. I’d rather not sign the papers than stay with a man like you.”Her voice reeked of indifference. She turned around and walked away.After all, she had nothing more to lose now.Upon seeing her leave without even looking back, he threw the cake to the ground out of rage.Damned woman!A man like him? Ha, countless women had tried to get into his bed. She really did not know what sh

“I might stay a few nights here in the future. Naturally, I’m allowed to come visit whenever I want.” Elder Lyons suddenly pointed at the front with his walking stick. “Hey, why is there water flowing out?”Wesley’s face fell. Sonya gave a shriek of surprise.“It looks like the house is flooded.”Wesley noticed it too. He turned to face Catherine with a stern expression. “Why is there water all over the place?”Builder John stuttered, “We… We have no idea. The tap was left running since last night…”Sonya covered her mouth as she gasped. “What do you mean you have no idea? You all have been given full responsibility for the renovation process yet now you’re trying to shift the blame? Oh goodness, can you still save the house? I hope the water didn’t seep through the walls.”Elder Lyons stomped the walking stick on the ground. “What low-quality company have you hired? Hurry up and call the police.”All color drained off Builder John’s face, and he looked as if he was about to kne

Before long, Ethan’s father called in anger.“You useless son, what the hell did you do? Even your uncle was offended and Golden Corporation withdrew all their funds. Get back here this instant.”...The next morning, Catherine received a call from Wesley.“Do you have time to have lunch together? I want to talk to you about the villa.”“Sure.”“I’ll pick you up in my car,” Wesley said in a soft voice, “I’m afraid you won’t know the way to the restaurant.”Catherine could only go along with his arrangement.At noon sharp, Wesley’s car appeared downstairs.She got in, and Wesley handed her a cup of milk tea. “I’m sorry, you were wronged yesterday.”The milk tea was not expensive, so Catherine took it without reservations.“After being backstabbed by a relative, I believe that you’re not feeling too good either, President Lyons.”“You’re really smart.” Wesley’s eyes were full of bitterness, but there was sincere appreciation in his voice. “Ethan has really disappointed me. He

His good looks were undeniable, but his temper… Forget it, it was off-putting.However, why was he here? Catherine instantly had the urge to pick up her bag and flee.“Mr. Hill, Young Master Harrison.” Wesley stood up in surprise and shook hands with the two.However, when he reached out to shake Shaun’s hand, Shaun simply looked at him lazily with his long lashes.A few seconds passed and Wesley started to feel embarrassed. Just as he thought Shaun would not shake his hand, the man extended his hand and shook it. “Sorry, I’m not in a good mood today.”Wesley had dealt with Shaun Hill several times before, especially when he planned to ask Shaun to take on a commercial lawsuit for him. The talks initially went well, but later the law firm said that he was not available.To be honest, he was feeling a little discontented with Shaun Hill.However, Shaun was a legendary figure in the lawyer world. Since he had a good reputation, Wesley had to show him some respect. Perhaps there mi
