Those people were exceptionally brutal. When all of them took action, no one would be able to cope with it.
Lyons Corporation.
After completing the interview with the press, Shaun lifted his phone, which showed a message on the screen.
As soon as he finished reading the message, he deleted it.
“Shaun, I just got off the phone with the president of Raffles Corporation. They’d like to buy 30,000 transformers and sign a five-year contract with us.” Lea came in with a gleeful look on her face.
Lyons Corporation had been hit very badly this year mainly because of her. Hence, seeing the company rise from the dead made Lea more excited and pleased than anyone else.
“Raffles initially planned to work with Campos Corporation. But now that we’ve stolen the Campos’s business, Mason must be holding a grudge against us, ” Shaun said indifferently as he sat down and leaned against the chair.
Lea snorted. “Campos Corporation has always been stealing other people’s works. This time, they reap what they sow. We just beat them at their own game. As far as I know, Campos Corporation has invested 5oo billion dollars in the electric appliances industry. Now that we’ve launched our new products first, their 500 billion dollars have basically gone down the drain. Your idea is brilliant.”
” It’s not my idea. It’s Dad who came up with it, ” Shaun suddenly said.
Lea was stunned. All of a sudden, she was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. “Considering that Garson Corporation and Campos Corporation have signed the contract earlier, will your dad… be in trouble?”
“No.” Shaun shook his head. “Dad already has a surefire plan. As for you…”
After a moment’s pause, his expression became grave. “I heard that Mason is going to do something to you.”
Lea was shocked to the core. Only after some time did she clench her fists. “What is he going to do to me? Kill me?”
“Kidnap and torture you so that you’ll compromise and give up on the product launch. Otherwise, he’ll take your life away, ” Shaun whispered.
“What a despicable man. ” Lea was trembling with anger. “We’re all business people. Why can’t he confront me above board?”
She had always known that Mason was cruel, but when she learned that he was going to kidnap her, she found it hard to accept it. “Shaun, are you sure that’s true?”
“Absolutely. But don’t tell anyone about it.”
Shaun leaped to his feet and said, “There are two ways now. The first option is that I’ll get someone to protect you all the time, but I’m not sure if this will work since Mason is getting the top killers to take action this time. What’s more, if the killers fail, they’ll definitely notice that their news has been exposed. As a result, they might sniff out my spy. Another way is to let them kidnap you, but I’ll place a tracker on you. When Mason starts torturing you, we’ll report it to the police and save you with the police’s help. We’ll then be able to get those killers and Mason arrested on the spot. Without Mason, Campos Corporation will fall apart.”
Lea looked at her son in astonishment. She kept quiet for a long while before she spoke again, ” I’ll go for the second one. It’s Mason who made the Lyons family and Willie suffer. They’re also partly responsible for Liam’s death. I want him to be sent to jail. I’ll end the problem I’ve caused on my own.”
Shaun loosened the tie around his neck and sighed. “Mom, let me remind you something. Since Mason has the intention of capturing you, he won’t care about your past relationship with him. He’ll certainly take great pains to torture you, and the process can be very painful.”
“Could the pain be as bad as your uncle’s suffering? Ever since Willie became a fool, he has never spoken to me. Could the pain be as bad as losing Liam?” Lea smiled despondently with reddened eyes. “Even if I were to die, I deserve it. But keep in mind, you must bring Mason to justice, whether it’s through the tracker on my dead body or by other means.”
Shaun gazed at Lea deeply for a long while. “Later, you can pretend that you’re feeling unwell and head to the Jewell family’s hospital. After you get there, Chester will have someone inject a tracker into your body.”
“Okay.”
After Lea went to the hospital, Shaun went to the villa Brennan lived in.
“Dad, did the Campos family look for you today?”
“Charlie has brought his people to Country Y to look for me. However, he doesn’t know that I’ve never left Canberra at all.” Brennan was holding a watering can, watering plants in the garden. “Don’t worry. Besides giving Garson Corporation some negative image and pressure, the Campos family can’t do anything to me with just a contract.”
Shaun walked to Brennan’s side and suddenly said, “The Campos family has decided to kidnap Mom to threaten me. Mom has agreed to inject a tracker into her body, and we’ll cooperate from the inside and outside. When the time comes, we’ll capture Mason on the spot.”
Brennan’s arm stiffened. After a moment, he said, ” This is indeed the only chance to get some dirt on Mason quickly. Based on Mason’s character, he’ll definitely take the money and leave Australia if he can’t overcome this hurdle. By that time, it’ll be hard to catch him.”
Shaun replied in the affirmative with his brows knitted in a tight frown.
“Shaun…” Brennan put down the watering can. Then, he patted Shaun’s shoulder lightly. “At the end of the day, all these happened because of Lea. If she doesn’t do this, she’ll never be able to face the Lyons family members in her entire life.”
” I understand, Dad. ” Shaun nodded. However, he still could not help letting out a long sigh in his heart.
That night, Shaun returned to the Lyons family’s residence and took a bath. After that, he sat alone in the study instead of reading to the children, which was rare.
He sat there for some time before Cate pushed the door open. The warm light fell on her hair, and there was a smile on her lips. “Young Master Lyons, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you going to sleep yet? Is it because you’re too excited about becoming the First Young Master of Australia again soon that you can’t sleep?”
“Where are Suzie and Lucas?” Shaun extended his hand toward her.
“I finally coaxed them to sleep. ” Cate held his hand and sat on his lap. Noticing his furrowed brows, she could not resist rubbing his thick eyebrows with her hand. “You have something on your mind. Are you unhappy?”
“I’m not unhappy. I’m worried.” Shaun tapped his phone on the table. “I can’t reach my mom’s phone anymore, and I can’t reach her assistant either. I suspect something has already happened to her.”
Cate was shocked. She wanted to stand up immediately, but Shaun grabbed onto her waist tightly. “This is a plan my mom and I have discussed. It’s also the only way to catch Mason. Cate, I really used to dislike this mom of mine. Ever since I was young, she has never fulfilled any of her responsibilities toward me. However, I only realize now that my mom is still my mom after all. I’m afraid something will happen to her.”
“So you both…” Cate gaped. Looking at Shaun’s state, she suddenly did not know what to say. “Nothing will happen. Mason must’ve kidnapped her to threaten you. If he hasn’t succeeded in threatening you yet, your mom won’t be in danger.”
“Cate, you’re always so clever. ” Shaun touched her small face. “However, Mason was deceived by me this time. He’ll surely vent his anger on my mom. I’m afraid…”
Cate held his hand tightly. At a loss, she asked, “When do you plan to take action?”
“I have discussed it all with my mom. After she gets kidnapped, she has to think of a way to lure Mason out no matter what. Therefore, she has to spend at least a whole day there. ” Shaun clenched his fists. After a moment, he pushed Cate away gently. ” I have to go out and look for my mom. The act has to be done properly so that Mason won’t suspect anything.”
“Go,” Cate said. “I’ll be by Suzie and Lucas’s side these few days.”
“Mm. After Mason and that group of killers have been caught, Suzie and Lucas can go to preschool as usual. Without the Campos family as his backing, Wesley can’t cause any problems no matter how great he is.”
Shaun caressed Cate’s hair. “After Mason has been dealt with, the next one will be Wesley.”
At that, Cate let out a breath of relief.
If both Mason and Wesley were sent to jail, she would not be that frightened of Rosabella returning, no matter how strong of a backing she had.
3:00 a.m.
Lea regained consciousness after getting splashed with a bucket of water.
Her eyes snapped open. The first thing she saw was a buff black man, followed by four to five towering- figured foreign men sitting at the side. Some of those people were fiddling with their guns, while some were sharpening their knives.
Lea was not a fool. Although it was just a glance, she could tell that those people were not just ordinary gangsters. They had definitely taken many lives before.
“Who… Who are you?” Lea got nervous. She had just attended a social engagement that night and was on the way back when she got kidnapped.
She did not know whether those people had discovered the tracker inside her body or not while she was unconscious.
“Guess.” The black man grinned. His row of white teeth looked frightening and creepy.
“Bank, stop scaring her. ” A tattooed man walked over and said, “Lyons Corporation is on quite a roll now. We’ve been commissioned by someone…”
“They must’ve paid a lot to commission you. I can offer double that amount as long as you let me go,” Lea said frantically.
“Haha, your words are quite tempting. Unfortunately, our occupation has its own ethics too. If we betray someone anyhow, how will we get any business in the future?”
After the tattooed guy finished laughing, he caught sight of Lea’s ashen face and said with a fake smile, “However, if you serve me well, maybe… I can change my mind.”
“Bart, you must be crazy. She’s a 50—year—old woman. Haven’t you touched a woman before?” That black man called Bank grabbed the tattooed guy’s hand and warned him.
“Tsk. Well, she has taken quite good care of herself, so she still has the charm. Moreover, she’s Lyons Corporation’s eldest daughter. I heard she used to be the most beautiful woman in Canberra. I’ve never had a taste of one before. Hehe. ” Bart’s laugh was especially sleazy.
“Enough. The employer said no.” Bank shook his head.
Bart snorted.
Lea was so nervous that her heart began to tremble. She may have already made all sorts of mental preparation, but if those people really did… She would be too ashamed to continue living.
Luckily, luckily…
“Was it… the Campos family who hired you guys?” Lea suddenly said with her voice quavering, “Get Mason here. I want to see him.”
Bart glanced at her. “You don’t need to know about that.”
Lea was shocked. Those words meant that Mason did not intend to show his face. If so, then what did she endanger herself for? She had to lure Mason out. Bart took out a phone and snapped two pictures of Lea before going out.
“What are you guys doing?” Lea suddenly got agitated. She started thrashing around on the floor with all her might.
