After a pause, she said bitterly, “Never mind. He offended the Snow family. How could you help him?”
“Don’t say that. I do have a way, ” Rosabella played with her fingers and said casually.
Linda looked up at her. “Don’t lie to me.”
“Why would I lie to you? Since you helped me by telling me about Mireya doing the DNA test, I’m willing to help you this time too.” Rosabella smiled. ” I hope… we can continue to work together in the future. Frankly, don’t you hate Mireya?”
“Of course.” Linda nodded. Her eyes revealed hatred.
“Cate’s friend is my enemy.” Rosabella smiled insincerely and picked up her cup. “Let’s toast to my return.”
Lyons Manor.
At 8:oo a.m., Cate prepared breakfast. Lucas was dressed handsomely in his uniform and sat down to eat his noodles obediently, but Suzie did not behave herself. She did not like to eat breakfast and only wanted to eat doughnuts.
“Suzie, you can’t eat sweets in the morning.” Shaun coaxed his daughter and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
That scene made Cate feel quite happy. In the past, she was the one who had to do this kind of thing, but she finally did not need to do it anymore.
” Scummy dad, I don’t wanna eat noodles. ” Suzie puffed up her little cheeks.
Lucas snorted bluntly. “If you eat snacks every day, you’ll become fat. I won’t admit to you being my little sister in preschool then.”
“Mommy, he’s picking on me again.” Suzie began to complain.
Cate rubbed her forehead.
The phone that Shaun left on the table suddenly rang. It was from Hadley.
He answered the call, and after a moment, his handsome face darkened. “I’ll come to the company right away.”
Cate looked up at him. “Didn’t you say you wanted to send them to preschool together? You’re leaving now?”
“Something came up at the company.” Shaun reached out to rub her hair. “I have to go now.”
Cate looked at his solemn expression and nodded.
After breakfast, she drove the two children to the preschool at the foot of the mountain.
When the two children went in, she drove to the company.
Along the way, she suddenly received a call from Mireya. “Patrick was released.”
“Huh?” Cate was taken aback. “Did the Snow family let him go so soon? Didn’t they say he would be locked up for decades?”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought at first, ” Mireya said in a low voice, ” I asked my godmother about it. The Snow family has never intended to release Patrick. He was supposed to be locked up for at least ten years, but he was suddenly released. Godmother said it was an order from the executive council…”
“Is Patrick great enough to be saved by the people in the executive council?” Cate was baffled.
“I also find it strange. If the Jackson family were that capable, his parents wouldn’t have needed to beg my parents.” Mireya was also confused. “But it’s true. Patrick is fine now.”
The more Cate listened, the more she felt that it was strange.
“By the way, do you know that something happened to Lyons Corporation?” Mireya suddenly asked.
“What happened?” Cate was at a loss.
“Didn’t Shaun tell you?” Mireya was surprised. “Lyons Corporation has been included in an investigation blacklist. Currently, all the relevant departments have set up investigation teams to charge into Lyons Corporation for investigation.”
Cate suddenly remembered how Shaun had left in a hurry this morning and got a bad feeling. ” Why is Lyons Corporation suddenly being blacklisted for no reason? By the way, isn’t Shaun close to the Snow family?”
Mireya opened her mouth, and after a moment, she said with difficulty, “I heard my godfather say that Lyons Corporation might be facing an unprecedented crisis this time. It’s not the same as what happened last time. Shaun might lose everything.”
“You’re joking, right?” Cate could not believe it. “Lyons Corporation just made a comeback and it’s time for them to rise…”
“He seems to have offended someone terrifying.
Even my godfather can’t go up against that person, ” Mireya interrupted her and said with a hint of helplessness.
Cate’s brain went abuzz with noise.
Shaun and she had gone through so much to be able to get to where they were now. Mason went to jail and they could finally finish Wesley off, but now, they had apparently offended an even more terrifying person.
Who was it?
She was incredibly tired and at a loss.
Whether it was Shaun or herself, it had not been easy for them to reach this point.
“Are you okay?” Mireya asked with concern.
“I don’t know, Mireya. I’ll go to Lyons Corporation and take a look, ” Cate said tiredly.
After hanging up the call, she made a detour to Lyons Corporation.
Currently, reporters were clamoring outside of Lyons Corporation. Hence, Cate entered from the parking lot. When she reached the top floor, she saw several people in blue uniforms walking around with several boxes.
The company employees stood on two sides until someone from the secretary’s office noticed her. ” Miss Cox…”
“Where’s President Lyons?” Cate asked.
“President Lyons and a few directors are inside.” The secretary led her in.
In the large office, Shaun, Lea, Spencer, and various directors were present. They all had unpleasant expressions on their faces.
“President Lyons, I hope that you can find out about the situation from Senator Snow as soon as possible,” one of the directors said, “No matter what, Lyons Corporation is suddenly being investigated with great fanfare for no reason.
Reporters are swarming outside the company. What will others think about Lyons Corporation?”
“Damn it, what’s happening to Lyons Corporation this year? It wasn’t easy to bring down the Campos family and climb up again, but now we’re being investigated again. Many companies have called to ask about the situation. We’ve signed so many contracts. If all the work is delayed again like last time, we’ll really lose everything this time.” Spencer also lost his temper.
“Everyone, go back and rest for now. I’ll personally go over to look for Senator Snow later, ” Shaun said in a low voice.
When the directors left one after another, Cate walked over to Shaun’s side. “Why didn’t you tell me about such an important matter?”
“I didn’t want you to overthink.” Shaun cradled her hand gently in his large palm.
Cate frowned at him. “I found out anyway. Mireya called me earlier and said that… we might have offended someone terrifying. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to solve this. We both know that the biggest fear in the business world isn’t competitors but investigations…”
Especially an investigation that happened without reason.
If anything was found, it could make the company lose its reputation and its stock price plummet— even causing the company to be delisted.
Especially Lyons Corporation, which had just launched new products. It would cause many companies that originally wanted to cooperate to avoid Lyons Corporation instead.
“Cate, don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ve experienced all sorts of things to get to where I am today.” Shaun’s handsome face smiled. “You have to believe in me.”
“Shaunny…”
Cate’s red lips parted. She suddenly froze when a thought flashed in her head.
“What’s wrong?” Shaun asked softly.
“I remembered something, ” Cate said, “Mireya said that Patrick was released on orders from the executive council, and now Lyons Corporation is being investigated. I’m wondering if these two matters are connected. In this country, the only force that the Snow family is powerless against is the executive council.”
Shaun frowned. After a moment, he said, “I didn’t think about the Jackson family, but your words have reminded me. Cate, go to the company. I’ll go to the Snow residence…” “I’ll go with you.” Cate immediately stood up. “Shaunny, I want to face this with you. If you can’t overcome this hurdle, I’ll have to leave your side.”
Shaun froze and stared at her with an unpleasant expression.
” Shaunny, I’m sorry. Even if what I said is hard to hear, I have to do it for the children,” Cate bit her lip and said in a low voice.
“No, I’m unhappy because you think of me as useless. No matter who the mastermind is, I won’t be pulled down that easily.” Shaun hugged her gently. “If there really comes a day when I can’t protect you and the children, you don’t have to say anything more. I’ll let you go.”
