There were a lot of cakes and juice placed on the long table in the garden.
As soon as she took a glass of juice, a purple -haired lady walked over to her. She looked like she was in her 20s, but she was wearing heavy makeup like a scene kid.
“Are you Shaun’s ex-wife?”
The lady introduced herself, ” I’m Hannah’s best friend, Camilla Cross. Aunty Cate, I’m here to warn you. My best friend is interested in Shaun, so you’d better stay away from him.”
Aunty…
Although Cate was only 26, the woman was addressing her as ¡®Aunty’.
Cate raised her brows. After sipping on the juice, she smiled and her eyes swept over the woman. “Are you ten years old?”
Camilla was startled. Before she came to her senses, Cate smiled and said, “You called me ¡®Aunty’, s o I thought you were only ten years old. After all, I’m just in my 20s.”
Camilla chuckled. “Really? I’m sorry. I couldn’t tell because you look older than your age.”
“No. It’s not because I look old. You’re just too childish.”
Cate disputed serenely. Having met many hypocrites, she had absolutely no regard for low- level opponents like this woman.
“Who’s childish? You—“
“Your style is quite unique, ” Cate interrupted her sentence with a lazy tone, “But people usually view youngsters like you as low-class punks.”
“How dare you insult me?! ” Camilla flew into a rage. “Do you know who I am?”
“Hey, don’t accuse me. I didn’t insult you. I just told you what people say.” Cate bit her lip indifferently. “What’s more, I’m rich and beautiful.
I don’t need anything from your family. Do I need to be bothered about a witless young girl like you?”
Once Cate finished speaking, she swaggered off without bothering about her.
She was still smoldering with anger. However, she was not angry at Camilla or Hannah but Shaun, that b*stard, for luring women. He continued to cause her trouble despite having divorced her.
Camilla returned to the house in a huff and told Hannah about it. “That woman has a sharp tongue. You must teach her a lesson, Hannah.”
“How can I teach her a lesson? She’s Mireya’s best friend, ” Hannah replied in distress.
“Technically, she’s just friends with Mireya and not related to the Snow family. The Mead family and the Snow family are real comrades.” Another friend egged Hannah on.
Hannah’s brows twitched. She suddenly glanced sideways and spotted Shaun turning around to leave.
She immediately went after Shaun and held onto him. “Shaun, where are you going? You have to cut the cake with me later.”
“I’m going to the restroom. Are you coming with me?” Shaun’s patience for this woman had run out long ago.
“Sure.” Hannah nodded unabashedly.
The corners of Shaun’s mouth twitched. He turned on his heel and left without being bothered about Hannah.
However, Hannah continued to pester him and went after him. “Shaun, are you looking for your ex-wife?”
“Miss Mead…”
Shaun turned his head around and said indifferently, “You should know why I came here. If I had known earlier that you’d bite the hand that fed you, I wouldn’t have risked my life saving you the other day.”
Tears welled in Hannah’s eyes as she was dissatisfied. “It’s because I love you so much. Shaun, it’s my first time pursuing a man.”
“Sorry, but a lot of women are also pursuing me. If I accept every woman who pursues me, I can already build a harem.”
Shaun’s handsome face was heavy with sarcasm.
“But I’m different from those women.”
Hannah continued determinedly, “I’m Gavin Mead’s daughter. As long as you get together with me, you’ll soon be able to make a comeback. Didn’t you see how many people were trying to approach and play up to me? Shaun, you’re a clever man. The chance is right in front of you.”
“I never rely on women for my success.” Shaun finished his sentence impassively before he walked away without hesitation.
Hannah was so exasperated that she began to tear up. However, as she watched Shaun’s tall and cold figure leave, she fell for him even more deeply.
To her, he was different from all the other men she had met. She was fond of Shaun’s arrogance and authority.
“What happened? Who bullied my daughter?” Senator Mead walked over to Hannah. She was the apple of his eye since she was his only daughter.
“Dad, Shaun doesn’t like me.” Hannah pouted. ” Can you help me out? I want him.”
“How dare he be uninterested in my daughter? !” Senator Mead’s face darkened. “Hannah, why don’t you pick someone else? Admittedly, Shaun is very charming, but his status is not the same as before. With his current status, he doesn’t deserve to be with you. Moreover, he was married before.”
“Dad, you can’t say that. I think Shaun won’t give up easily. He’s a truly capable person.”
Hannah paid no heed to her father’s remark. “A capable man can make a comeback with some help. What’s more, he’s no ordinary man.”
Deep down, Senator Mead was slightly swayed.
With that, Hannah clutched his hand. “Dad, Shaun is on good terms with the Snow family. Of course, I know you guys want me to be with Ryan. But first of all, Ryan doesn’t like me. Secondly, he’s still too young. Hardly any man in Australia can be compared to Shaun in terms of shrewdness, thoughts, and knowledge. Besides, Shaun only failed because he was tricked by people who used underhand tactics. Needless to say, if we take advantage of him in the future, he can probably assist you in becoming the prime minister one day.”
“Stop talking nonsense. ” Senator Mead glared at Hannah nervously.
Hannah said thoughtfully, “Well, you’re going to be the deputy prime minister next year. Don’t you want to climb to the top? You can’t just be assisting Uncle Nathan forever.”
“Fine. I can’t stop you from doing what you want. Having said that, you can’t easily win Shaun’s heart. I heard his ex-wife has always had a special place in his heart…”
“Well, it’s just Cate Cox. She has married someone else. Dad, as long as you give me your blessing, I’ll have a way of capturing Shaun’s heart,” Hannah replied confidently.
“Suit yourself.” Senator Mead could not be bothered about her.
Only after he left did Hannah secretly call the servant of the Mead family over. “Put this in Shaun’s drink later.”
After returning from the garden, Cate stayed by Wesley’s side the entire time.
With Cate constantly by his side, Wesley felt restrained for the first time. There were many people he wanted to butter up, but her presence made him feel uncomfortable.
After all, Cate had always perceived Wesley as an elegant gentleman with a noble reputation.
“Cate, where’s Mireya? Go and have fun with her. I’m afraid you’ll feel bored mingling with people like us.” Smiling, Wesley persuaded her to leave.
“But I’m your wife. It’s not good to walk away just like that.” Pretending as if she was torn, Cate continued, “What’s more, Shaun is here. I’m worried that you’ll overthink.”
“No. I trust you.” Wesley gazed at her earnestly.
Cate nearly believed in his words.
She turned around and walked away. However, Instead of scurrying off, she hid in an inconspicuous spot. If she had not done this, she would not have seen Wesley sitting beside Senator Mead and attentively lighting a cigarette for him.
At the sight of his behavior, frustration crept into Cate’s mind.
She could sense that Wesley had been trying to appear gentle and elegant in front of her before this.
Did it mean that there was another side of him unknown to her when she was not around?
“Miss Cox, you’re here.” A female servant walked to her. “Miss Lynch has been looking for you everywhere. She’s asking you to head over as she wants to introduce two people to you.”
“Alright.”
Cate nodded and walked to the courtyard with the servant.
There was a large pool in the back garden. Some people were playing in the pool, while some were chatting over the barbecue grill.
The servant suddenly stopped by the pool. “Miss Cox, please hold on. My shoelaces are loose.”
When she bent over to tie her shoelaces, she swiftly tried to push Cate.
