His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 465 Good Times Has to Delayed!

"He was your superior before. Now you are completely disrespecting him after you betrayed the Alliance." Lady Isabella sneered at Liam.

He countered, "He is such a liar! All he did was separate me from Hailee!"

'She doesn't love you!'

She wanted to give a piece of her mind, but it wasn't the perfect time. It was great news that Liam was now willing to confess, and she should not make a mistake to enrage him; it might change his mind.

"Shun will be hereafter Gideon Jackson's interment." Isabella looks straight into Liam's eyes.

"What do you mean interment? Are you saying Chairman Jackson is dead? How did it happen?" It shocked him to hear another shocking news today.

"Sorry. But I can't tell you more information." Lady Isabella turned around and left.

Liam wanted to throw a fuss, but he knew it would only be a waste of his energy.

He stared at the nothingness after the lights turned off in the corridor of his prison. He could not tell if someone was still there and watched him closely.

The only part of this prison that remained lighted was his room, which only had a small bed, one small table, and a chair made of plastic carefully wrapped with a thin layer of foam.

Then, a small closet, a sink, and an open toilet and shower.

Even to take out a shit, he was being watched.

Shun even removed his artificial leg to ensure he could not escape, so he had to sit in the wheelchair for his entire day.

Liam raised his middle finger on the camera in the right side corner of his room. The five guards could only chuckle and shake their heads as they've already used to it.

Shun actually amused Liam to think he could get out of this room. Unless someone from outside successfully entered this secret prison facility.

Outside…

"Continue watching his movements."

"Aye, Lady Isabella."

Lady Isabella went back to her study. She sent Shun a message to inform him about Liam's willingness to confess this time.

At Hailee's yacht, somewhere on the Northern Australia coast…

Shun currently had FaceTime with Cassandra on his iPad. A warm feeling surged in his heart when his beautiful wife appeared on the screen, and his children were in the background.

He saw his eldest daughter Angela Cassandra is playing with Aravella Lorraine while Carlisle Hendrik was curiously gazing at his baby sister.

Shun smiled to see his children, even in this way. He was busy running around to take care of the company overseas. Not only that, his presence is always needed in the Alliance.

And speaking of it, his gaze shifted to his eldest son, Allen Carlisle. As usual, his firstborn in this lifetime was immersed in his computer. It always made him wonder what Allen was studying. Sometimes, he is busy drawing something. When he asks Allen about it, he often says he will show it when it completes.

"What was our eldest son doing?"

Cassandra glanced at Allen. She returned her gaze to the computer screen and replied to her husband,

"He was sketching something. After he visited Meadow Hotel, he was amazed by its modernity. This morning, James and Mark brought them to tour the hotel and play at the Nursery Center. The kids were thrilled. Hailee was really brilliant in coming up with the idea of putting up a Nursery Center in her hotel. It was very convenient for the parents when they were on a business trip and worried about who could look after their children. They could bring even the little kids, and surely they'll enjoy the Science Gallery. Your sons are having too much fun playing all day."

"I'm glad to hear that. I'm worried that Hendrik would be a handful for you now that we have Aravella."

"Indeed, that young guy is mischief. He and Seth are best friends. They both got along well with what kinds of pranks they plotted for their siblings and the other kids. I'm glad Mark is looking closely at him."

"Hmm… Mark seemed to need a raise."

"Haha. Of course! His and Lena's wedding is by next year. You've witnessed how that guy pursued Jean's younger sister."

"And Kier gave him a lot of hardships not to win so easily."

"You are correct, my love. That older brother is so overbearing… Well, finally! After all odds, he can have Lena for himself." Cassandra could not hide the happiness in her eyes, thinking about how many hardships they've faced getting through all that. But when Cassandra remembered Hailee's strange behavior today, worries exhibited on her face.

"What's wrong, love?" asked Shun.

"Shun, I'm worried about Hailee. I wonder what she's been thinking lately. Earlier this evening, she requested to speak with Isabella. But she wanted to talk with her alone, so I don't know what Hailee discussed with my sister."

"Hmm… How about our daughter? She could not see through that?"

"No..." Cassandra shook her head. "Madison can see nothing, so she also got worried."

"Okay. I'll speak to Isabella and query why Hailee wishes to speak with her."

"Alright. Only then will I have peace. Thank you..."

"We are all worried, yes. But do not worry… Things will get better soon." Shun assured his wife.

"I believe you…." Cassandra muttered lovingly.

Shun softened his gaze as he stared at his computer screen. He wished to pull his wife into his arms, embrace her, and kiss those enticing lips.

"Love… erm… You know… It's been a while."

Cassandra stares at her husband, agape at his request. Then, she glared at him for being shameless.

Their children were nearby! Gratefully, she was using AirPods, so they didn't hear their dad's request.

Anyway, Cassandra is only playing along with him. After a moment of surprise, she smiled sweetly at him.

"Well, get your ass here soon…."

Shun had a massive grin on his face after his conversation with his wife. However, it disappeared so quickly upon reading Isabella's message.

"Liam wished for your presence."

'Dammit! What bad timing is this?!'

Dark clouds surrounded Shun. The moment Daichi entered his suite, the guy immediately felt a chill on his spine.

'What is happening here?' Daichi peeks at Shun and sees his gloomy aura. "Hey, Shun! What happened?"

Daichi placed a mug in front of his boss and poured the coffee he brewed. He went out to the kitchen and saw how thrilled Shun was talking to Cassie when he left.

But now that he comes back. It seems like a storm is brewing.

"What did Missy tell you?" he inquired further. He was curious because Shun was never upset with Cassie, so it must be something else.

"Tell Meisha that we need to leave for Italy the same day of the interment."

"Oh, is it Liam?"

Shun did not reply, but the grimness in his eyes told Daichi that it was the case. Daichi left the room without knowing the truth.

On the other hand, Shun could not tell Daichi the reason for his grave expression.

He had to bear for months until Cassandra gave birth to Aravella and then waited for a little more after she labored. She finally agreed.

Unfortunately, the good times have to be delayed!
