Catherine stood up and walked to another side. Her attitude was cold.


    Shaun sighed as he watched her from behind. At that moment, his phone rang.


    It was Clifton who called. His voice was trembling with excitement as he said, "Eldest Young Master Hill, the research and development of Purdue Microchip has seeded."


    "Is it?" Shaun nodded calmly. "You did well."


    Clifton was shocked. "Eldest Young Master Hill, aren''t you excited at all? You''ve invested more than ten billion dors into this tiny microchip. Moreover, this is the world''s top microchip. No otherpany can surpass this. I reckon Hill Corporation''s market value will triple at the very least."


    "Okay," Shaun replied calmly, "You can let out the news that the microchip has been sessfully developed and hold a press conference half a monthter. I''ll attend it when the timees."


    "When are youing back?" Clifton said in a hurry," When the news goes out, it''ll surely attract the toppanies all over the world in other industries to coborate with us. Thepany desperately


    requires your presence. Besides, this is a very important matter. It''s better for you to be personally involved in everything from the marketing to the coborations."


    Shaun looked at Catherine who was nearby withplicated feelings. He lowered his voice and said, "I don''t have time now. Thepany spent so much money to hire those senior managers. It''s time for them to do their jobs."


    "Alright."


    Clifton had no choice. His boss was a man in love, after all. "The information rted to the microchip..."


    "I''ll have Chance assign some people to protect theboratory. You should stay at theb these few days," Shaun ordered.


    After all, this matter could draw the attention of the whole world. There might even be some extremepetitors who would want to hurt Clifton.


    "Okay."


    After ending the call with Clifton, Shaun gave Chance a call. He did not deliberately hide from Catherine.


    There were only both of them at the seaside. As he gave Chance orders, his voice traveled to Catherine''s ears as well.


    She felt more shocked as she continued listening.


    She did not think that Hill Corporation''s advanced microchip would be developed


    so soon. She did not know how much Hill Corporation''s market value would spike after this microchip wasunched. No one in Australia, or even in the whole world, couldpete against Shaun then.


    Her heart was in despair.


    Could she not escape nor hide from this man forever?


    "Cathy, you''re about to be the wife of the wealthiest man in the world." Shaun hugged her from behind all of a sudden. His hand rested on her lower abdomen. "Our children will be nobler than princes and princesses."


    Catherine nced at him helplessly. "Do you think I care about all this?"


    "Cathy, I just want to tell you that leaving me and returning to Wesley''s side is an impossible matter. What does Wesley have topete against me?


    Crushing him is as easy as crushing an ant to me."


    Shaun forcefully turned her shoulders around. He lowered his head and bit on her soft lower lip.


    Catherine had no words.


    Sometimes, she thought maybe she should just ept her fate. With her capabilities, she really could not escape this man anyway.


    Nevertheless, she still felt resentful.


    In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.


    On the big messy bed in the morning.


    Shaun woke up first. The woman beside him was still fast asleep. Last night''s activity had made her exhausted.


    He properly tucked her in with the nket. When he got up, he realized there were bloodstains on his leg --
