Clothes dropped to the floor one by one.
It only stopped after a long time.
“How much did you drink tonight? Your mouth smells like wine.” After Shaun was satisfied, he hugged
Catherine in his arms. His voice was raspy.
“Hmph, I drank fruit wine. Doesn’t it smell good?” Catherine glared at the man with a cat-like lazy gaze.
“It smells nice. Every scent on you smells good.” Shaun pecked her cheeks. Then, he said with mixed
feelings, “Do you like Eliza that much?”
“Yes. You don’t like her?” Catherine’s charming eyes became alarmed in an instant. “Because she went
against your friend before?”
“I don’t like her, nor do I dislike her. I know Chester was in the wrong. I’m a lawyer. I can differentiate
between right and wrong,” Shaun quickly explained. “I just feel that Eliza isn’t that simple. I think I’ve
had a lot of experience with people. To be honest, I can’t see through her.”
Catherine went silent. She suddenly said, “ Actually, I can’t see through her either.
However, I can sense that Eliza treats Freya and me with sincerity. I’ve found her familiar since the first
time I met her. It feels like I’ve known her for a long time.”
Shaun immediately felt jealous. “Did you have that feeling when you first met me?”
“I’m being serious here,” Catherine snapped.
“I’m being serious too.” Shaun’s gaze darkened. “I’m jealous.”
“Alright, don’t be jealous. Eliza and I are just friends. You’re the person I love.” Catherine kissed him
while smiling. “ Maybe I’ll have that strong feeling when I meet you in my next life.”
“It looks like you think you and Eliza were best friends in your past life,” Shaun said resignedly.
“Mm, I have that feeling.” Catherine turned to look at him. “Chester will be out of prison soon. I don’t
know what Eliza wants to do, but I’m guessing there’ll be competition between those two again.
Chester is your friend, while Eliza is mine. I hope we won’t meddle in their affairs, okay?”
Shaun sighed. “Chester lost billions of dollars and went to jail. Jewell Corporation was greatly impacted
as well. Can’t Eliza stop here? To be honest, Chester is much more ruthless than me. He can go to any
lengths when he’s driven into a corner. Why don’t you persuade Eliza? When Chester gets out of jail,
I’ll hold him back and ask him not to seek revenge. They both can have nothing to do with each other in
the future.”
“90 billion dollars was taken away from Jewell Corporation. Do you think Chester will let this slide?”
Catherine was unconvinced.
“I investigated this matter. It seems like it was done by an overseas team named Reborn. Speaking of
this, Reborn is too secretive. A few years ago, they appeared on Wall Street out of nowhere. Then,
they disappeared suddenly after earning quite a sum of money,” Shaun said while frowning.
“I’m not sure how Reborn is related to
Eliza or if they know each other. However, Chester will surely get revenge on Eliza for this.”
Catherine said calmly, “Let’s not care about this. If you help Chester, then I’ll have no choice but to help
Eliza. At the same time, we, husband and wife, can compete properly for once to see who’s stronger.”
“No.” Shaun’s scalp tingled. “I promise not to participate. As for you wanting to compete with me, we
can just do it on the bed. Be good.”
Catherine glared at him. Before she could speak, her lips were blocked by Shaun again.
She was forced to compete with him.
The next day.
At the villa.
A woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes placed a thick stack of documents on the coffee table.
“Reborn, 10 percent of Jewell Corporation’s shares have been successfully acquired.”
“Hunter wasn’t suspicious of anything, right?” Charity, who sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, asked
