He suddenly stopped his words when he saw Jason Snow from the Snow family coming over. Charlie quickly said, “Uncle Jason, you’re just in time.
Shaun tried to take liberties with Young Lady Holt and we scolded him, but he beat up Young Master Riley.”
“Uncle Jason, help me. My hand is going to break. ” Young Master Riley took the chance to cry out with a bitter face.
“President Snow, hurry up and kick Shaun out. He’s too arrogant.”
“Yes, he pushed me earlier too.”
“Me too. I was almost pushed down by him.”
The large group of people pointed at Shaun with indignation as if he had done something heinous.
Those who did not know what was going on also started to talk in low voices.
“Isn’t that Shaun Lyons? Why did the Snow family invite him over?”
” I heard the Snow and Lyons families shared a good relationship before.”
“But the Lyons family isn’t qualified to be in such a place now. If I were him, I wouldn’t have dared to come.”
“I heard he’s looking for a young lady from a rich family. I think he was rejected by Young Lady Holt in public after he tried to hook up with her.”
“Yes, with the Lyons family’s current situation, he must be looking for a rich young lady to rely on. I never expected Shaun Lyons to fall this far down.”
The people in the banquet hall gathered around to watch the show.
Shaun’s handsome face gradually oozed with frost. He had seen too many people who would throw stones at someone who had fallen down a well, but each of these rich noblemen made him open his eyes.
The truth was not important to them. What was important was that they wanted to see him being thrown out of the party wretchedly.
“Uncle Jason, I didn’t do it.” Shaun explained in a low voice.
Jason looked at his elegant and reserved face. He also did not believe that Shaun would do such a thing, but so many guests were accusing Shaun, so he could not protect him in public. He said helplessly, “Shaun, why don’t you go back first…”
“Uncle…”
Mireya appeared at that moment. She grabbed Jason’s arm and smiled like a pampered child. ” If you tell him to leave like that, he’ll be unconvinced. No matter what, tonight’s party is still for me. I think for the sake of fairness, let’s check the surveillance footage. It’ll be clear at a glance who’s in the right and wrong.”
At those words, everyone’s faces immediately changed.
Shaun looked at Mireya in shock. He thought that Mireya hated him very much.
“Ms. Lynch, what do you mean? You don’t believe me?” Chelsea got a fright and hurriedly spoke up like she was being wronged.
“Yeah, it’s clear that he started it. My hand still hurts even now, ” Young Master Riley piped up immediately.
“When did I say that I didn’t believe you?”
Mireya pretended to be aggrieved and pouted. “It’s because Shaun isn’t convinced, and I don’t want to give him the opportunity to argue again. You guys don’t care, but if news of this spreads, people outside will say that I bully the weak.”
Jason’s expression sank as he immediately said, ” That’s right, our Snow family has always been fair in doing things. Besides, today is a big day for Mireya. We don’t want her to have a bad reputation.”
Chelsea hurriedly said, “Ms. Lynch, you’ve misunderstood me. This matter is actually very clear. Everyone here is a witness. Just ask anyone and you’ll find out that I didn’t lie. There’s no need to check the surveillance footage.
“Yes, it was Shaun who splashed wine on Young Lady Holt.”
Words of agreement immediately echoed.
Mireya looked confused. “It’s not that hard to check the surveillance footage. It’ll be done in two minutes, and we’ll be able to get conclusive evidence. I believe Shaun won’t be able to refute anything then. When the time comes, he’ll kneel down and apologize to Young Lady Holt. It won’t be too late to drive him out then.”
“I support checking the surveillance footage.” Shaun curled his lips coldly.
Chelsea’s face immediately turned unpleasant and she quickly glanced at Mason, who smiled at Jason. “Forget it. It’s just the young people messing around. My head hurts from all the noise. President Snow, let’s go to the side to have a few drinks.”
Shaun smiled mockingly. “What? All of you are no longer making a fuss just as we’re about to check the surveillance footage. Didn’t you all scold me quite fiercely just now?”
Chelsea flushed and snapped, “Shaun Lyons, I just don’t want to make things hard for Ms. Lynch. I’m showing the Snow family courtesy, but I’m warning you, stay away from me next time. If you try to take liberties with me again, I won’t be so polite next time.”
Then, she swiftly slipped away.
She knew that once they checked the surveillance footage, everyone would see that she had framed Shaun.
However, she never expected this. Out of all the scenarios she played out in her head, she did not think that Mireya Lynch would help Shaun.
She slipped out so fast that everyone could tell what was going on.
However, no one said a thing. There were some people who were quite resentful. After all, they all wanted to see the miserable sight of the once richest man being thrown out of the banquet hall.
The rich young masters who pushed Shaun earlier saw that the situation was not right and immediately found excuses to leave. Soon, only Jason and Mireya were left.
“Uncle Jason, Ms. Lynch, thank you.” Shaun looked at them. He never thought that one day, Mireya would help me.
“Don’t thank me. If it weren’t for…” Mireya almost blurted it out and quickly shut her mouth. She glared at Shaun. “I just don’ t like people making trouble at my party.”
She turned and left.
Shaun glanced in the direction she was walking and saw Cate standing there.
His eyes softened slightly, just like warm water.
Jason sighed. “Go back early. Those people just wanted to mess with you. Maybe I shouldn’t have called you here tonight.”
“Even if you hadn’t invited me, I would’ve still come.”
Shaun’s gaze was fixed on Cate.
Jason looked over and instantly understood.
“Done.”
After Mireya walked over, she winked at Cate.
Cate was just about to speak when she suddenly noticed that Shaun was looking over. Since he was far away, she could not see his eyes clearly, but it still made her feel awkward. “You didn’t say anything to him, right?”
“I didn’t say anything.” Mireya shook her head. “He doesn’t know that you’re worried about him.”
“I’m not worried about him.”
Cate immediately glared as if she had been poked in a sore spot.
“Don’t deny it, I understand.”
Mireya placed a hand around Cate’s shoulder. ” After all, he’s a man you once loved. When you see him in such dire straits, your heart will naturally feel differently than others. In short, it’s complicated. There’s a little hate, a little sympathy, and maybe something unknown— “
“Shut up. I’m going to find Wesley. I can’t be bothered with you anymore.”
Cate pushed her away with a deadpan face and turned around.
Although she was looking for Wesley, Mireya’s words would echo in her mind.
Yes, she hated Shaun before and had even cursed him to lose everything.
However, now that he had become like this, she did not feel all that happy—especially when she saw him being bullied by everyone.
However, she refused to admit that she was worried about him.
How could she be worried about him? It was only because of Suzie.
After wandering around, she finally found Wesley in the tea room on the second floor. He was drinking tea with a few portly middle-aged men.
Looking at those people, they did not look like they were businessmen. It was clear that they were influential people in politics.
