He had just told her that Wesley could be the perpetrator who intended to hurt the kids.
She somewhat believed it too, yet she ended up taking Wesley’s side.
Shaun could not figure out what was on Cate’s mind.
“Let’s go.” Cate ignored Shaun’s sad gaze and got into Wesley’s car while holding his hand.
Wesley’s thin lips curled upward. He kindly opened the door and fastened the seat belt for her.
They looked like a sweet married couple.
Shaun was so infuriated that he punched the top of his car.
Soon, Wesley’s car drove off.
Wesley held Cate’s hand tightly in the car. ” Cate, I’m quite glad. I thought you’d choose to accompany Lucas and Suzie tonight.”
“Actually, I did feel like doing it. But as the kids’ father, Shaun should take responsibility for them. “
“That’s true.” A glint flashed across Wesley’s eyes. “By the way, what happened in the accident today?”
“The hit-and-run driver said that he mistook the accelerator for the brake. ” At the mention of this issue, Cate looked furious. “But Shaun said it’s not as simple as it seems. He found out that the driver’s son somehow went to the States and even bought a house and a car. I suspect someone put the driver up to it.”
Wesley’s fingers twitched as he held onto the steering wheel. He did not expect Shaun to find out about it so soon. “Shaun has offended too many people back then. You shouldn’t have allowed the kids to acknowledge him. I think you’d better let the kids stay with me. It’s not safe to keep them with Shaun.”
“I thought so too, but he won’t agree. As you know, he’s a lawyer. It’s not possible to win a case against him, ” Cate replied, pretending to be torn.
“It’s fine. As long as you agree, I’ll assist you.” Wesley tapped the back of her hand.
“Um, let me sleep on it.” Cate nodded fakely.
Shaun returned to the Lyons residence glumly.
Suzie and Lucas immediately ran out, only to find Shaun returning alone. They immediately became disappointed. “Where’s Mommy? Isn’t she going to accompany us?”
“Wesley has already sent your mommy home.” Shaun suppressed his bitter feelings and picked the kids up. “I’ll accompany the two of you, okay?”
“No. I want Mommy. If Mommy doesn’t accompany me, I’m going to get angry.” Suzie stomped her feet and ran upstairs amid her sobs.
Lucas furrowed his brows wilfully. Although he did not utter a word, he was unhappy.
Considering that the kids were shaken up, it was normal for them to ask for their mother’s company.
Lea and Old Madam Lyons sighed. The two of them had no choice but to try their best to please these little ones.
While they reassured the little ones, Shaun had no one to reassure him.
He was so perturbed that he kept sending Cate messages. [Without you, Suzie has been crying non- stop, and Lucas is unhappy.]
[I’m unhappy too.]
[All of us miss you so badly.] [All of us need you so badly.]
[Are you ignoring me? If you ignore me, I’m going to keep texting you until you reply.]
[Reply to my messages. Are you ignoring me? Don’t ignore me.]
By the time Cate had finished dealing with Wesley and returned to her room, Shaun had already sent her more than 3o messages. She was at a loss for words. Then, she responded, [Enough.
Stop texting me. That’s very childish of you. I’ll accompany the kids tomorrow.]
Shaun responded, [You told me you want to divorce Wesley. Did you turn a deaf ear to all I said?]
[Cate, I’m sure you care about the kids. Are you planning to stay by Wesley’s side for other reasons? Or are you trying to collect evidence of him hurting the kids?]
[Listen to me and come back. If Wesley notices, you’ll be in danger.]
Cate was undeniably impressed by how sharp Shaun was sometimes. However, she was not staying merely to obtain evidence showing Wesley’s intention of killing the two kids. What mattered more to her was Nathan’s death. If that was Wesley’s doing, she must send Wesley to jail of her own accord.
This was her promise to Tracy.
She turned off her phone straight away without replying to Shaun’s messages.
When Cate arrived at the office the next day, she called Logan over. “There are surveillance cameras around Wesley’s villa. Do you have any means of disrupting the surveillance cameras for the time being without alerting Wesley? I want to check his bedroom, study, and laptop.”
“Yes. With a blackout.” Logan said, “But if the blackout takes place inside the villa, he’ll suspect it. The only means is disrupting the whole circuit.”
“Alright. ” Cate nodded. “I’ll ask Wesley about his schedule before we plan our move tomorrow. We’ll do it within the next two days. I don’t want to drag it on any longer.”
Suzie and Lucas’s incident made her realize that she could not stay with Wesley and continue acting. She felt that Wesley’s gaze on her had been getting more intense over the last two days.
In the court.
Today was the first time that the case between Shaun and Sarah came to court.
They had been a couple for over ten years, but now, they were against each other in court because of 1oo billion dollars.
Given that the public was very concerned about this case, a group of reporters had already crowded the court entrance early in the morning.
At 11:00 a.m., Rodney accompanied Sarah upstairs. Following behind them was the top internationally renowned lawyer, Stevens.
Shaun was dressed in a black suit with a dark green tie neatly tied in front of his chest. His handsome, exquisite face was extremely cold and sharp like a sword.
To Shaun, the court was like a battleground.
Sarah could not help but sigh at the sight of him. She had to admit that Shaun was the most perfect man in terms of his charms, looks, and presence. Unfortunately… she had never really won this man’s love.
Nevertheless, she could not be bothered about Shaun with his status now. After all, she had a better option.
“Shaunic, I never thought we would come to this point.”
A bitter, faint smile crossed Sarah’s face. “Why do we have to do this? You used to be the most perfect person in my heart. Why do we have to go against each other in court? It’s not my intention to do this.”
A complicated look washed over Rodney’s face. Shaun used to be his best buddy, but Rodney had to take Sarah’s side at this point. “Shaun…”
“Unfortunately, you’re the most disgusting person to me now.” Shaun ignored Rodney and answered Sarah.
“Dude, it’s disappointing to hear you say such a thing.” Rodney said furiously, “Even if you guys can’t be a couple, you don’t have to treat her as an enemy.”
“Rodney, you dumped your child and family for the sake of this woman. Are you happy with your life?” Shaun asked indifferently.
His words made Rodney choke. During these days, he could sense the Snow family’s unwillingness to keep any ties with him. Sometimes, he did regret it. However, now that he had reached this point, he had no alternative but to take responsibility for Sarah since he pursued her. “I don’t regret it.”
“Thanks, Rodney. ” Sarah was so touched that her eyes reddened.
The scene filled Shaun with utter disgust. He hated himself for having loved this kind of woman.
“Attorney Lyons, I’ve heard so much about you. Although you’re quite famous in Australia, you might not be able to defeat me.” Stevens suddenly grinned. “If I were you, I’d think about settling it out of court.”
Shaun darted a stony glance at him. “Defeating me is a pie in the sky. Unless you can hold on until the next trial, I don’t think you’re capable.”
With that, he shoved his hands into the pockets of his pants and walked directly into the court.
Seeing his arrogant look, Stevens flew into a fury. ” Shaun, I’ll make you suffer a disastrous defeat.”
Shortly after, the trial began.
Shaun was the plaintiff as well as his own attorney, which was a rare occurrence.
After the judge made an opening statement of the case, Stevens stood up and said, “I don’t think the defendant needs to return the money to the plaintiff. The defendant has known Shaun Lyons since she was eight. When she was 18, she got into a relationship with him. As everyone knows, Shaun used to suffer from mental illness, but the defendant had never looked down on him. She even studied psychology for the sake of him. She was the one who cured Shaun’s illness, yet Mr. Lyons has never paid her any medical fees.”
“On top of that, Mr. Lyons proposed to Sarah Neeson ten years ago, but he has yet to fulfill his promises. I seriously doubt if Shaun is playing with Sarah’s feelings and wasting her youth.”
