“But why did you report it to the police now? You’re not afraid of him anymore?” Cate asked suspiciously. “Shaun told me last time that Lyons Corporation’s chip will be entering the market, and it seems like it’ll be the top microchip in the world. I n the future, his status will definitely be— ”
“Lyons Corporation’s microchip failed to hit the market.”
Wesley interrupted her, “I heard that it was a foreign company called Landell Group that launched a more powerful chip first. Lyons Corporation was caught off guard and their stocks have been falling since yesterday. Lyons Corporation’s market value shrunk by more than 80 billion dollars.”
Cate was stunned. 8o billion dollars? How hard had the stocks fallen? It was no wonder Shaun left in such a hurry.
“How did they fall so badly?”
“It’s because Lyons Corporation said that the Purdue Microchip they were developing was the world’s number one chip. This attracted a lot of large domestic and foreign companies who paid high deposits. When Landell’s microchip came out, the partner companies all thought they had been cheated.
“Lyons Corporation caused great losses to the partner companies. According to the contract, Lyons Corporation has to pay an exorbitant amount of compensation which might lead to their bankruptcy.”
Cate was shocked.
All along, Shaun had been like a deity standing at the top of the pyramid.
She never expected Lyons Corporation to suddenly fall after getting caught off guard.
Others might not understand, but she knew Shaun.
Shaun had never been a braggart, and the people in Liona constantly worked hard. It was impossible that they did not know Landell had successfully developed the world’s number one microchip.
Cate felt that it was strange. Shaun was defeated too suddenly. It was as if someone was deliberately targeting Lyons Corporation.
“Then… I guess the Lyons family is no longer the top family in the country?” She could not help but ask i n a low voice.
“Yes. Now, Lyons Corporation’s market value is even lower than my company’s.”
Wesley said, “There’s no telling what will happen tomorrow. If Shaun doesn’t compensate those companies, Lyons Corporation’s reputation will hit rock bottom and no company will dare to cooperate with them in the future.
“If he pays, Lyons Corporation may become a company on their last legs. They can forget about coming up with the money to invest in labs to develop microchips in the future. If no new chips are launched, Lyons Corporation will be eliminated from this market.”
Cate understood.
In short, Shaun had met a dead end this time.
The number one family in the country was going to disappear.
“Cate, Shaun will no longer be able to threaten us in the future.” Wesley suddenly reached out and held her tightly in his arms. “I’ll never let him off for stealing my wife away.”
Cate looked up and saw the hatred in his eyes. She was shocked. “Wesley…”
“Cate, don’ t you want to take revenge?” Wesley bowed his head and looked at her with a complicated gaze. “As a man, my wife was taken away in public during our wedding. Should I pretend that nothing happened? Besides, you were locked up on that island and must have suffered a lot. It’s time to settle the scores.”
Cate’s eyelashes drooped. It was normal for Wesley to have those thoughts. Any man would hate such a thing.
Even yesterday, she had hated Shaun incomparably. She even cursed for him to lose everything.
However, now that such a day had actually arrived, she did not feel happy at all.
It was as if… she actually… did not want to get revenge on Shaun. How could that be?
Could it be that she had gotten numb after being tormented by Shaun and developed masochistic tendencies?
Cate shivered as she felt bad.
“Wesley, what are you going to do?” she murmured. “Of course, I’m going to accuse him of kidnapping, ” Wesley said in a low voice, “You’re the person he kidnapped. As long as you tell the police that he locked you up, restricted your personal freedom, and… harmed you, he’ll be sentenced.”
Harm?
Cate was horrified, and her face grew hot due t o embarrassment.
After a long time, her voice was squeezed out of her throat. “Wesley, what… do you mean by that?”
Wesley’s dark pupils flashed with a trace of pain, but he smiled bitterly a moment later. “Cate, we’re all adults. Frankly speaking, I don’t believe that Shaun didn’t touch you after he took you away. But you’re my wife. As long as you didn’t consent to it, his behavior is a crime.”
Cate could not lift her head out of embarrassment.
After half a minute of silence, she withdrew her hand from his and left his embrace. She walked to the window. She needed some time to digest this matter.
“Cate, since I came to find you, I won’t be hung up about all that.”
Wesley said with deep affection behind her, “I know you were forced. I was useless. If I had come earlier, you wouldn’t have encountered all this. But you have to admit that Shaun is crazy. He should get the punishment he deserves for the evil deeds he committed.”
Wesley’s words were like cannonballs, hitting Cate’s head one after another.
Yes.
Shaun had done something illegal. She never consented to any of it.
People ought to be sentenced if they broke the law, right?
Why was she hesitating?
Even if Shaun went to jail and Lyons Corporation fell, it had nothing to do with her.
“Cate, I understand that it’s hard for you to mention such things to the police, but it’s hard for me too, ” Wesley said bitterly, “But we can face it together in the future. I, Wesley Sanderson, will never give up on you.”
The more he spoke, the guiltier Cate felt.
The better Wesley treated her, the heavier the boulder in her heart was.
Five hours later.
The helicopter landed on the Yule residence’s lawn. Both Joel and Lucas had been waiting there for a long time.
Lucas, who had been unable to contact Cate for so long, ran over and jumped directly into Cate’s arms.
“Mommy… ” Lucas hugged Cate tightly with red eyes. “I missed you so much.”
