In the office, the two people looked at each other.
Cate looked at Shaun. In fact, the two of them had only separated for a few days, but it was like a long time had passed. Shaun’s appearance had changed too.
That morning, he was still well-dressed, handsome, and charming. Now, his suit was all wrinkled and his eyes were bloodshot. There were dark circles under his eyes and he had a scruffy beard. It was clear that he had not rested after coming back from the island.
“Cate, you—“
Shaun cautiously opened his mouth, but Cate interrupted him, “I came here to ask you about Liam’s whereabouts.”
An unnatural glint flashed in Shaun’s dark eyes. ” Cate, why are you so… concerned about Liam?”
“I think of Liam as a good friend.” Cate lowered his eyes, afraid that he would be suspicious. “Also… He’s Suzie’s father. Suzie is already pitiful for losing her mother. If she doesn’t have a father too, I’m afraid she won’ t be able to take it.”
Shaun was suddenly startled. He had been so busy and tired these days that he had not thought about Suzie.
“You forgot about Suzie, didn’t you?” Cate was a little annoyed at his reaction.
“I… There have been too many things going on lately.” There was a complicated look on Shaun’s face. “Suzie is in the manor. There’s a nanny taking care of her.”
“Have you forgotten that you were also taken care of by a nanny when you were young? How did that nanny treat you?” Cate’s expression was unpleasant. “Why don’t you… let Suzie stay with me for a few days? I’m quite worried about her. She called me in tears last night saying that she’s very lonely and couldn’t contact her daddy. She kept crying.”
Shaun’s heart throbbed in pain and he suddenly became even more upset. He hated Liam, but he had to think about Suzie as well.
” .. Fine. I’ll come pick her up in a few days when I’m not so busy, but you can’t take her to Wesley. Otherwise, I won’t agree.”
Cate had originally promised to move in with Wesley.
However, after hearing Shaun’s words, she immediately hesitated.
“Are you planning to take my niece and live with Wesley? Dream on.” Shaun saw her expression and became irritable.
Cate sighed helplessly. “Fine.”
Shaun did not feel relieved because of this. After all, Cate’s expression betrayed too much of her emotions.
“You still want to be with Wesley?” Shaun was somewhat incredulous. “You’ve slept with me for so long, yet you still refuse to divorce Wesley. Or is it because he’s unwilling?”
Cate’s face burned from his savage tone. This man really did not know what shame was.
” Shaun Lyons, it’s none of your damn business who I’m with. You could be arrogant in the past and we couldn’t do anything about it, but Lyons Corporation isn’t even comparable to Hudson Corporation now. Your net value is also incomparable to mine. Do you think you’re worthy of me? Do you think you’d catch my eye?” She spoke coldly. In the past, he had always looked down on her and thought she was trying to climb up the social ladder using the Lyons family. However, the tables had turned now, so she taunted him mercilessly.
Sure enough, an embarrassed look immediately washed over Shaun’s handsome face.
He could not care less about President Holt’s contempt and did not care about other people’s cynicism, but Cate’s words were like a slap to his face.
Men had their pride, but his current status was even worse than Cate’s and worse than his rival’s.
His heart burst with bitterness. He never thought that such a day would come.
“Also, get this straight, ” Cate reminded him coldly, “Although you were released on bail by Chester and the others, the case of you kidnapping me hasn’t been closed yet. The police station keeps calling for me to give my statement. I can personally tell the police that you kidnapped me and abused me.
” Shaun Lyons, if I do that, will you still be able to sit here and talk to me? You’ll have to go to prison for a few years at least. When you come out, the difference between us will be like the clouds and dirt. Remember, you’re dirt, and I’m the clouds. “
“You want to send me to prison yourself?” Shaun’s body shook, his face full of pain.
“Since you dared to do it, why are you afraid? I’ ll give you one more chance. I want Liam to appear in front of me in three days. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ungracious.”
Cate turned around and left.
Shaun suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind and forcefully pushed her against the wall with dark and heavy eyes.
“Cate, Liam is important to you, Wesley is important to you, and even Suzie is important to you. But what about me? Do I really have no place in your heart at all? Am I not special in your heart?”
His dark voice revealed a rare hint of sadness.
Perhaps it was because too many things had happened recently, so this strong man was unexpectedly revealing a hint of vulnerability.
Cate was lost in thought for a moment but quickly shoved him away.
“There used to be a place for you in my heart, but there’s nothing left after you did that to Logan.
Remember what I said. I’m serious.”
She turned and left withoutlooking back.
Shaun did not chase after her. He leaned against the wall and looked up at the ceiling. For some reason, his eyes stung.
He was so tired. At that moment, he really wanted her to stay with him.
As long as she was around, he would try to pull himself together even if he had nothing left.
However, without her, he seemed to have lost all his motivation.
Of course, Shaun knew that the current him was no longer worthy of Cate.
Cate walked out of the elevator. On the side, Hadley stepped out from another elevator and quickly caught up to her.
“Ms. Cox, I need to talk to you.”
Cate stopped. “What do you want to say, Hadley?”
Hadley said awkwardly, “Actually, I heard a little about what Eldest Young Master Lyons and you talked about in the office earlier. I want to ask you not to sue him.”
Cate frowned. If it were someone else, she would not hesitate to refuse, but she owed Hadley.
“Hadley, he’s a devil. I just wanted to start another life with Wesley, but he ruined it. He even made a big fuss and ruined my reputation. Do you know how many people out there are laughing at Wesley and me? I’m not just doing it for myself. I have to give Wesley an explanation too.”
“But if you really sue the Eldest Young Master Lyons now and he goes to jail for even as short as two years, without him sitting in Lyons Corporation, it’ll be swallowed up by others until nothing is left.
“Willie has been beaten silly, while Liam betrayed u s and went missing. Lea lives every day like she has lost her soul. Valerie and Spencer are incompetent.
“The old madam is too old and suffering from all kinds of ailments due to the stimulation recently, so we don’t know how long she’ll last. Of course, they’re people who have nothing to do with you, but you have to think about Suzie…”
Hadley reminded her helplessly, “You and I both know that although Liam is Suzie’s pretend father, she’s actually Eldest Young Master Lyons’s daughter. It’s impossible to send Suzie to the Campos family. I f the Lyons family falls, what will happen to Suzie? She will really become a child without a father or a mother!
“Although Eldest Young Master Lyons thinks that Suzie is his niece, he really does treat her well.
Perhaps because he’s actually her father. Suzie also cares deeply about him as well.”
Cate fell silent.
She indeed had not thought so much before.
What Hadley said made sense.
However, if she did not sue Shaun, how would she explain it to Wesley?
“Miss Cox, that’s all I can say.” Hadley did not say anything else and turned to go upstairs.
Not long after Cate returned to Hudson, Suzie was brought over by the Lyons family’s driver.
It had been more than a month since she saw the little girl. Cate brought her out to buy some pretty clothes and even bought her a big cake before bringing her back to the Yule family’s villa to eat with Lucas.
She had a lively personality, which was different from Lucas, and made Joel extra happy.
“Cate, Suzie is really delightful. Why don’t you leave her here and let the two little ones accompany me? I feel much younger already.” It had been a long time since Joel was so happy.
Suzie thought about it and shook her head seriously. “Grandpa, I can’t. I have to accompany Great – grandma. She’s so pitiful. In the past, she had Great-grandpa to accompany her, but she’s all alone now.”
” Suzie, you’re such a filial child.” Joel praised her but sighed and turned to Cate. “I heard that the Lyons family is planning to sell the manor.”
Cate was stunned. “Is the Lyons family really that desperate?”
