Shaun gritted his teeth, his handsome face looking so gloomy that it could drip blood.
Chance spent a whole day searching, but Liam seemed to have vanished into thin air. No hospitals said that they had taken in such a patient.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, I’m sorry. I can’t find Liam. He… It seems he’s really not in the Campos family. They haven’t called any doctors to go over for a consultation.”
Shaun fiercely kicked over the table in front of him. “Were you followed when you tossed him earlier?”
“No. Who would follow us anyway?” Chance smiled bitterly. “There’s no one left who’s still jealous of the Lyons family.”
“What about the nearby surveillance cameras?” Shaun asked through clenched teeth.
“That place is an old city area that’s about to be demolished. No one lives there anymore and the monitoring there has long been disabled, ” Chance explained, “I tossed Liam there in order to prevent anyone from catching on as it would be unfavorable to you.”
Shaun rubbed his eyebrows. “You tossed Liam there alone, but does anyone else in Liona know that you tossed Liam there?”
Chance’s heart jerked. He actually intended to go alone, but Yael suddenly ran up to him and wanted to follow.
However, if Eldest Young Master Lyons found out that he had brought Yael along during his task, Eldest Young Master Lyons would definitely become displeased with Yael. Thus, he said, ” I was alone. “
“Continue to find Liam. Even if… Even if he’s dead, I want to see his corpse, ” Shaun paused and said in a muffled voice.
He had a bad feeling. Liam was Mason’s son. If Liam went missing, Mason might not let him off.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He could not hold back and smashed the teacup on the table.
There were too many things happening recently. There were a bunch of matters regarding the company that he had not finished dealing with. He had not had the chance to visit the old master in the hospital either, but now, Liam was missing.
At that moment, a strong sense of fatigue and bewilderment arose in his heart.
He did not dare to imagine what would happen to Lea if she found out that Liam was missing.
In the Yule family’s villa, Cate was also distracted.
She had not gone to the company at all. She received numerous calls from the directors asking her to attend the meeting, but she did not have the time to.
Liam was her friend, so she was worried now that h e had gone missing. Besides, Liam was also pretending to be Suzie’s father.
Without Liam acting as a bridge, how could she go see Suzie in the future? The Lyons family would not let her bring Suzie out at all.
“Mommy, eat some vegetables.” Lucas saw her holding her bowl motionlessly and worriedly gave her a fork.
“Lucas, did you see Suzie in preschool today?” Cate asked in a low voice.
Lucas shook his head. “She took time off this week and didn’t come.”
“I’ll give her a call. ” Cate really could not eat so she got up and walked to the side to dial Suzie’s phone watch.
“Mommy… ” Suzie’s voice sounded choked up. ” I miss you so much. I’m so envious of Lucas. Lucas can see you, but I can’t. Uncle can’t be contacted these few days. I want him to take me to see you. “
Cate’s heart felt uneasy. She did not dare to tell Suzie that Liam might be in trouble. “Your uncle … might be busy. Have you been well?”
“No,” Suzie said, “These days, I’ve been alone at the manor. Great -grandma and the others are at the hospital since Great-grandpa can’t walk anymore. I saw Great-grandpa once before. He’s so pitiful. Uncle Willie too. He’s mentally retarded now and acts like a ditz. He’s even more childish than me Suzie could not help but cry. “Uncle Willie is so pitiful. He used to tease me and loved to pull my ears, but he always bought me whatever I wanted…”
Cate’s throat hurt.
She wanted to hug Suzie when she heard her cry. After all, Suzie was still so small.
However, without Liam, she could not see Suzie at all.
What should she do with Suzie in the future?
The more she thought about it, the more distressed she was. However, she did not know what to do. She could only keep talking to Suzie until she managed to coax the little girl to fall asleep, but her whole person was slouched and dazed.
The next day, she ran out to find Liam before dawn.
There was still no news after a day, so she finally had no choice but to go to Lyons Corporation to find Shaun.
At first, she thought that after returning to Canberra, she would not meet Shaun ever again even until she died. However, she did not expect that she would one day step into Lyons Corporation again.
Lyons Corporation was no longer as glorious as it was i n the past.
There was no one at the front desk. She saw several employees walking out with big boxes in their arms.
She was wearing a cap, so the employees did not recognize her. Everyone was calmly whispering, ” Campos Corporation called me and said they were offering me a position with a higher salary for me. I think Campos Corporation has more prospects.”
“Campos Corporation called me too. We should leave soon. I heard that Lyons Corporation won’t even be able to give us year-end bonuses. What’s the point of skilled workers like us staying here?”
“Stop.” A manager ran out in anger. “Have I agreed to your resignation? Even if you want to leave, you have to finish your work and hand it over before leaving.”
“Come on, Manager Ford. We won’t continue to work anymore. If we leave early, we can still find good jobs elsewhere. Lyons Corporation is done for. We don’t want to delay our time here.”
Manager Ford scolded, “You ungrateful things! If Lyons Corporation hadn’t spent money to send you abroad for further training, would you be where you are today?”
“Manager Ford, you should jump ship early too. Hah, it’s too late now. Be careful. Maybe, by the time you look for another job, we’d be your managers instead.”
The employees left one after another.
Cate was stunned. It seemed like Lyons Corporation’s situation was more severe than she imagined.
When she took the elevator to the president’s floor, the secretarial office was not as crowded as before. There was not even a single security guard.
She walked to the door of the president’s office when she suddenly heard the arrogant voice of a middle- aged man from inside.
” Shaun Lyons, if I were you, I’d agree to my request. Why are you doing this? It’s a fact that Lyons Corporation is done for. I won’t tell you to compensate me for the liquidated damages.
Instead, give me Lyons Corporation and I’ll compensate you another ten million dollars. I’m already being benevolent.”
“You want to buy Lyons Corporation with just ten million dollars? You must be dreaming. ” Hadley’s furious voice sounded. “Lyons Corporation includes various subsidiary companies such as insurance, finance, and electronics. Aren’t you being too greedy if you aren’t even willing to fork out that much money?”
“Shut up! Who do you think you are? A mere assistant like you dares to talk back to me? Are you worthy to speak to me? Do you think you’re still the assistant of the high and mighty Shaun Lyons from the past?” President Hale scolded meaningfully, seemingly rebuking Hadley but in truth, he was actually targeting Shaun.
Shaun’s handsome face was cold and heavy. “Get lost.”
“You want me to get lost?” President Hale sneered. “Shaun Lyons, I think you’re still dreaming. Lyons Corporation is a thing of the past now. Your Lyons family isn’t even as good as a small company under my Hale Corporation. In the past, you were high above me and didn’t care about me, but now, I can find someone to get you killed anytime.”
“Sure, you can try.” Shaun suddenly stood up.
His tall body and aura after staying in a high position for a long time instantly overwhelmed the short and stout President Hale.
“Fine, since you won’t do it until you’re forced to, I’ll make you regret this. Just wait.”
President Hale kicked over the chair in front of him and strode out.
When he reached the door, Cate had her head down, so he did not look too closely.
Cate looked at his back. She had seen this man before. He was Gary Hale from the Hale family. The Hale family was barely in the top 2o families in the capital.
However, even he could run over to Lyons Corporation so arrogantly now. It was clear that Lyons Corporation was not what it used to be.
In the office, Hadley said angrily, “President Lyons, Gary Hale is too shameless! He didn’t even dare to speak up in front of you before and always used Joanne to cozy up to Sarah to try and please you—“
“Shut up.” Shaun glared at him warningly and looked behind him nervously. “Why are you here?”
Hadley turned around and saw Cate walking in.
She had taken off her hat, revealing her soft and long thick hair. Her beautiful face was small and pure, but her facial features were delicate. Her nose was straight and upright, while her eyes were tinged with a layer of melancholy.
“Miss… Miss Cox…” Hadley was startled.
“Go out,” Shaun ordered him.
Hadley walked out in a complicated mood and closed the door behind him.
