“Lucas, were you worried about me these days?” Cate kissed his forehead as her heart ached. “I’m fine. I’m back. I’ll never leave you in the future.”
“Mommy, I hate him.” Lucas looked up, his eyes full of hatred.
He would never forget that Shaun Lyons knocked his Mommy out and made her disappear from his world.
When he was in kindergarten these few weeks, he would occasionally hear the teachers talking about Mommy. Everyone said that since Mommy had been taken away by Shaun and definitely tainted, Uncle Wesley would divorce her. No man in the world would be able to accept Mommy anymore.
When he heard that, there was an unspeakable panic in his heart.
He only wanted his mommy to be happy, but it was all ruined by his selfish scummy dad, Shaun Lyons.
Cate was shocked to see the hatred in her son’s eyes. “Lucas…”
Her lips moved slightly. She could hate Shaun, but she did not want her son and daughter to hate their biological father. After all, this was between Shaun and her. She did not want her children to fall into the shadows.
However, Wesley and Joel were around, so she could not say too much.
“It’s good that you’re back. You must not have eaten anything all day. I’ll tell the kitchen to prepare some delicious food.” Joel led them into the villa.
She went upstairs first to change her clothes. Her mobile phone and other belongings were on the dresser. She quickly entered the password.
Countless missed calls showed up on the screen.
She called Mireya first. “I’m back.”
“My dear lady, you’re finally back! ” Mireya was so emotional she was about to cry. “I thought you’d only come back after getting knocked up by Shaun.”
Cate,”….”
Mireya’s words had indeed almost come true.
“You’re not… pregnant with Shaun’s child again, right?” Mireya suddenly asked nervously.
“No.” Cate was exasperated. She took the phone and walked out to the balcony.
“Oh, then did you sleep with Shaun?” Mireya continued to gossip.
Cate felt upset and gritted her teeth. “Are you done? Can you ask about something else?”
“I’ve always been more interested in these kinds of things. They’re more exciting.” Mireya chuckled.
“Bullsh*t.” Cate could not hold back. “My conscience has been tortured day and night for the past month, okay?”
“Don’t think like that. You were forced by him.” Mireya comforted her. “You didn’t mean to have an extramarital affair.”
“Shut up.”
The words ‘extramarital affair’ triggered
Cate’s heart.
“Well…” Mireya changed the subject. “Anyway, Shaun Lyons won’t be able to do anything to you in the future.”
Cate pursed her lips and asked with a complicated feeling, “Is Lyons Corporation’s predicament now really that serious?”
“Yeah, but I heard from Rodney that Shaun intends to compensate those partners. In fact, he has to pay them. Those companies are all global enterprises and have plenty of money to engage in lawsuits.
“Once he pays them, Lyons Corporation won’t have much money left. Sigh, to be honest, Shaun got really unlucky this time. But there’s nothing he can do. It was Liam who betrayed Lyons Corporation.”
“Liam betrayed Lyons Corporation?” Cate could not digest this.
“Don’t you know yet?” Mireya said, “I heard this gossip from Osher’s senior management.
Apparently, Landell stole the data of Lyons Corporation’s Purdue Microchip. It’s exactly the same. “An insider sneaked into Lyons Corporation’s lab and deleted all the data so that they would have no grounds to sue Landell for plagiarism.
“Landell handed over all the rights to use the chip in Australia to the Campos family. The Campos family’s status has risen and they’ve become the number one family in the country. To put it bluntly, the Campos family and Landell teamed up against Lyons Corporation.”
Cate was shocked. “The Campos family is too despicable. Competition in the market is normal, but they can’ t plagiarize to achieve their goal. By the way, what does this have to do with Liam?”
“Liam’s father, Mason Campos, is the largest shareholder of Campos Corporation. Mason is now the chairman of Campos Corporation. Mason also publicly announced that Liam Lyons’s name will be officially changed to Liam Campos.”
Mireya clicked her tongue. “It’s obvious. With Campos Corporation coming to power, the one who will gain the most out of it is Liam. In the future, the assets in Mason’s hands will be his son’s. It’s also said that the Lyons family called the police and sent Liam to the station the day before yesterday, but Mason immediately released him on bail. Who else do you think could have done it besides Liam?”
Cate’s head buzzed as she listened. Liam was her friend and someone who had saved her before. He was also Suzie’s ‘father’.
“I don’t believe that he’s such a person,” Cate said in a low voice, “Since Liam saved me back then, it shows that he has a conscience. He’s not someone who would cut ties with his family for power and status.”
“I’m afraid you’re the only one who would say that now.” Mireya sighed. “Others think differently. Liam has a motive. He’s been suppressed by Shaun all these years and the Lyons family doesn’t value him. Shaun even beat him in public a few months ago. When the incident spread throughout the whole city, everyone laughed at him.
“Liam is a man, so he definitely would feel resentful. Furthermore, a few days before the incident, I heard that Liam, Mason, and Maurice met up at a coffeehouse to conspire together.”
“I’ll call Liam and ask. I miss Suzie anyway.”
Cate became more uneasy the more she listened.
Mireya said, “Go ahead. Many people in the Lyons family have gotten involved in one incident or another recently. I also wonder if there’s anyone taking care of Suzie right now.”
“What happened?”
“Old Master Lyons got a stroke from anger and is paralyzed; Willie got beaten up by the Campos family and is now mentally retarded.”
Cate felt like her brain had just exploded.
After leaving the island, she had received too much shocking news.
Although Old Master Lyons was old, she had met him before and knew he was in good health.
As for Willie, although he had targeted her in Melbourne, she got over that grudge when she stripped his clothes in the toilet.
He even helped her when she went to Lyons Manor for the first time after arriving in Canberra. She did not expect him to be mentally retarded now.
