The driver deliberately turned the steering wheel to one side. Coincidentally, a puddle of water by the roadside splashed onto Cate’s pants and shirt.
The driver suddenly slammed the brakes.
Shaun lifted his head, and Hannah said with a grin, “Did you get a fright? The driver was driving too fast just now, and I think a puddle of water at the roadside has hit someone. I’m going to apologize to that person.”
Shaun looked out of the window, only to catch sight of Cate drenched to the skin. His eyes were riveted on her for a moment.
“Don’t you know how to drive?” Cate lost her temper. When she looked up, she saw Hannah strutting out of the rear seat in a coat.
“Hey. Aren’t you Miss Cox? I’m sorry.” Hannah covered her nose, feigning disdain. “It smells so bad.”
Cate’s face darkened. She instantly said, “If I had known earlier that I’d come across an ugly creature here, I wouldn’t have left my house.”
“Stop it. You’re just a little wet, aren’t you? I’ve come to apologize to you just because I’m well- mannered. In fact, I’d say you deserve this for walking so close to the puddle.” Hannah’s expression shifted. Then, she turned around and opened the rear door, where she said to the man inside in an aggrieved yet coquettish manner, ” Shaun, did you hear what she said? It’s humiliating. She must apologize to me today.”
The car was silent for a moment before a tall and handsome figure stepped out.
Cate looked up at the man standing beside Hannah. The dark blue shirt he wore was the same one she bought him a few days ago. Back then, she thought that it looked very nice. Looking at it again now, it brought out the man’s mature temperament when he wore it. However, Hannah was holding his arm now.
Even though he was just acting, Cate felt that this scene was extremely sore to the eyes.
“Do you think I need to apologize to her as well?” She knew that she should not have asked, but she did it anyway.
Shaun looked down at her with bottomless eyes, remaining silent for a long time.
“Say something.” Hannah shook his arm. “Shaun, don’t forget that you’re pursuing me now. Don’t tell me you can’t let go of your ex-wife?”
“You’re overthinking it,” Shaun said faintly.
“Then make her apologize to me. How dare she call me an ugly creature? She’s just jealous that you’re with me.” Hannah snorted coldly. “If you don’t make her apologize, it means that you haven’t let g o of her at all.”
Cate’s eyes flashed with disgust. “Enough, don’t force him. I’ll apologize to you. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have called you an ugly creature. I insulted all the ugly people in the world by saying that.”
Then, she turned around and left.
Hannah stomped her feet in fury. “Stop right there. Apologize again!”
Cate ignored her. Her dismissive attitude completely angered Hannah. “Shaun, why didn’t you say anything? Who’s more important? Me or her?”
Shaun raised his brows indifferently. “What do you want me to say? You suddenly got the driver to drive the car over and deliberately splashed her with water. You just wanted to show off in front of her and make me humiliate my ex-wife. Sorry, but if you want me to play the role of a man who throws rocks at others while they’re down, I can’t do it. “
His unfathomable eyes seemed to see through everything and Hannah became a little annoyed. ” You just can’t bear to hurt her.”
” If that’s what you think, then there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Shaun turned around and left.
Hannah was angry and wanted to let him leave, but when she saw his cold attitude and handsome back, she could not help but grab his arm. “Fine, I admit that I went too far just now. I was just jealous.”
“Good girl. Don’t be jealous.” Shaun pinched her chin gently, his low and soft voice melting Hannah’s heart.
This man was like poppies. Although she knew that he was poisonous, she could not help but indulge in him anyway.
Although she could not see it, coldness flashed in the depths of Shaun’s eyes.
At night, after driving Hannah back.
Shaun got into the car that Hadley drove over.
Hadley said in a low voice, “There’s been news about Sonya Sanderson recently. These days, she has been keeping an eye on the executives who are close to Wesley. She found that one of them often goes to a karaoke bar in Melbourne. He went over this afternoon and brought another person with him. It seems to be the Sanderson family’s doctor.”
“Karaoke bar?” Shaun raised his brows. “With a doctor?”
“Yes.” Hadley nodded. “Didn’t Wesley have Matthew’s finger cut off? He’s getting injured over and over again, so it’s normal to call a doctor in for treatment.”
Shaun pondered for a while. “Go do a background check on that karaoke bar. Tell Sonya to keep an eye on it for now but don’t make any rash moves for the time being.”
Hadley was a little anxious. “When are we going to save Matthew? Joel almost got killed yesterday and it’s clear that either Jeffery or Sheryl is behind it. Unfortunately, they’re supported by Minister Mead, so not even the Snow family can do anything. Currently, Wesley is at the peak of his power, and I heard that Sheryl helped him solve his business problems abroad. Nowadays, the big shots and politicians in Canberra are all trying their best to curry favor with him.”
“That’s why… he must think that he has won.”
A cold smile spread on Shaun’s lips. “The more complacent a person is, the more he drops his guard and reveals his tail.”
Hadley froze.
“Let him be complacent for a few more days, ” Shaun said, “We only have one chance, so we have to finish him in one blow and make sure that he can never make a comeback.”
Hadley’s heart stirred. “Eldest Young Master, you’re wise. Should we… tell Miss Cox about this? She… She should be under a lot of pressure now.”
“… No. The more Wesley forces her, the more she’ll be at a loss, which will make Wesley think that he’s in control of everything. Otherwise, why do you think I’m pursuing Hannah?”
Shaun placed his hands on the backrest and said with a voice devoid of warmth. ” I want him to feel like he has defeated me, leaving me with no choice but to curry favor with Hannah out of desperation. At the same time, I can also paralyze the Mead family.”
Hadley was shocked. “You want to deal with the Mead family too?”
“The Mead family helped Wesley do many things. Shouldn’t they be punished as well?” Shaun laughed. “Just watch. These days, the Mead family and Wesley will bask in glory after thinking that their victory is guaranteed. What do you think they’ll do after winning?”
Hadley thought about it. After he figured it out, his heart trembled.
Gavin Mead had been supporting Wesley for a long time. Now that Wesley had become the richest man in the country and overpowered Snow Corporation, which was behind Prime Minister Snow, Gavin would definitely be tempted to overtake Prime Minister Snow and be the one pulling the strings of this country.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, you’re so wise.”
Hadley sighed in admiration. He initially thought that Eldest Young Master Lyons would be worse than before after losing his memory, but unexpectedly, the current Eldest Young Master Lyons was wiser and more decisive.
The next day in the hospital, Cate turned on her mobile phone and saw that the internet was full of news about the fire in Joule Corporation’s warehouse. After this incident was exposed, the internet was full of negative news about Joule Corporation.
[Are you kidding me? I used to think that Joule Express was good. They had good service and fast speed, but I didn’t expect that they couldn’t even find alcohol in the parcels. That’s too careless. I’ll never use Joule again in the future.]
[The president of Joule Corporation, Joel Yule, was originally an executive of Yule Corporation and created Joule Corporation from the ground up. Yule Corporation is a mess now, so how would Joule Corporation be any better?]
[My parcel was in the warehouse where the fire broke out. It contained a watch that my friend sent to me from abroad and had a value of 50,000 to 60,000 dollars. I’m furious. Don’t ever use Joule’s services.] Joel sat on the hospital bed as his phone rang non- stop. They were all from the company’s executives, saying that several e-commerce companies that were working with Joule Corporation were clamoring to cancel their cooperation.
“President Yule, we had already spent some money and instructed the media. They promised us they won’t make a big deal out of this matter. However, the number one news station in the country broadcasted this matter last night. What should we do now?”
“Now that this has happened, we’ll just apologize to the public and then release the results of the police investigation.” Joel hung up the phone. His face was already pale, but now he looked even worse.
At the side, the assistant said, “President Yule, the police said that the warehouse manager was bribed. But until the mastermind is caught, it’s just the police’s words. Without any written proof, the public might not believe it. I think that there are powerful people behind the scenes deliberately suppressing our company.”
“Haha, you’re right.”
A man’s triumphant laugh came from outside as Wesley kicked the door open and walked in.
Cate and Joel’s faces instantly darkened.
“What are you doing here? Get the hell out.” Cate blocked his path.
“I’m here to see our dad, of course.” Wesley pushed up his glasses and grinned. “Dad, do you need my help? I know many people in the media. Yesterday, they came to my house to send me a lot of gifts. In fact, I just need to say a few words in order to solve this matter.”
Cate snorted a laugh in anger. “My dad already suppressed this matter but it was you who made a big deal out of it.”
“That’s right.” Wesley looked at her approvingly and admitted it boldly. “As long as you obediently come back to my villa tonight, I can consider sparing Joule Corporation. This is a new company founded by your father and contains all his blood, sweat, and tears— “
“Dream on!” Joel straightened up and interrupted him in anger.
If he had not broken his leg, he would have gotten up to hit Wesley. “Even if I lose everything today, I won’t let my daughter be with a despicable villain like you. You don’t even like her. You’re obviously doing this because she rejected you. You’re unhappy about it, so you want to destroy her and torture her, asking her to live like a dog in order to satisfy your vanity. When people like you gain power, you’ll take revenge on everyone who had once humiliated you. To put it bluntly, you’re just a pervert.”
“How dare you scold me?!”
Wesley’s expression changed. He laughed as he stared at Joel’s legs. “Old man, it seems like you’re tired of living.”
He grabbed a chair and was about to throw it at Joel’s legs.
