Cate felt uncomfortable with him saying that. How could she respond when his tone was so gentle, hoarse, and delicate?
“Be careful of Wesley.” Shaun reminded her, “He’s not as simple as you think.”
Cate’s pretty face darkened immediately. “Do I need you to remind me? Would Wesley come this far if he was simple? Shaun, if you want to badmouth my husband, please shut up.”
My husband…
Those two words were like needles pricking Shaun’s heart.
He really wanted to yell and ask her not to say those words. However, when he thought of his body, he no longer had the confidence to give her happiness.
“I’m not purposely trying to drive a wedge between the both of you. I’m just worried that Wesley harbors hatred toward you and wants to get revenge on you.”
“Are you crazy?” Shaun had made Cate infuriated. “He hasn’t even had enough time to love me. How can he possibly hate me? You, on the other hand, keep driving a wedge between us. You desperately want us to get divorced, don’t you? Let me tell you this. Even if I get divorced, I won’t choose you.”
Shaun acted as if he did not hear her. Instead, he continued saying, “I’ll send you a video. It’s a video I took the night we held our wedding on the island and consummated it. I sent the video to Wesley that night.”
Cate’s mind suddenly felt as if it had exploded, and her body trembled. “It can’t possibly be… that kind of video, right?”
“… You’ll know when you see it, ” Shaun said in a low voice. “It’s impossible for any other man not to mind. If Wesley cares, being jealous is very normal. However, if he didn’t mention even a word about it and acts big-hearted and tolerant, you must be careful. After all, people who can tolerate this kind o f thing are terrifying.”
” Shaun, you b*stard.” Cate’s eyes reddened from anger. “How dare you record a video that night? You’re too much. You’re shameless. I’ll never forgive you.”
“Never mind. I knew from the start that you wouldn’t forgive me. I just wanted to remind you. I don’t wish for you to be like my mom. She got cheated for more than 20 years. She always thought she got married to her childhood sweetheart, who was infatuated with her, when in fact, it was all an intricate deception that the other person had set up.
“Wesley is definitely not that kind of person, and I’m not your mom either. I don’t have a filthy rich family behind my back. What possibly can he covet?”
“He covets your feelings. After you fall in love with him, he can get revenge on you and trample on you all he wants.”
Shaun’s words made Cate shiver. “Shaun, I won’t fall for your tricks.” Then, she hung up.
After returning to the room, she accompanied Suzie to sleep, but she could not calm down at all.
Cate only picked up her phone again after Suzie fell asleep. Shaun had sent her a video.
She put on earphones, and as she watched the video, her face flushed red. She found it unbelievable.
In the video, the lights were not on, but the moonlight shone through the windows.
She and Shaun were covered by the blanket. Shaun’s upper body was exposed, and her hands… were circled around his neck tightly.
Not only that but her voice… It actually sounded as if she… really enjoyed it.
She always thought she was in despair that night. Yet, the video made it look like she and Shaun were lovey-dovey, and that she was willing.
Was that the video Wesley watched?
She was so embarrassed that she desperately wanted to hit herself. However, once she calmed down and thought about it, no man could possibly stay indifferent after watching that video.
Wesley did not mention a word about it after she returned. He even said it was fine as long as it was done against her will.
Thinking back at it now, Wesley was so big-hearted that it made her feel uneasy.
If she put herself in Wesley’s shoes, she would overthink and feel contempt when she saw her wife being intimate with another man on their wedding night. Even so, he might act as if nothing happened because he was too deeply and blindly in love.
If it were the latter, it would be Cate’s luck. However, if it were the former…
It was supposed to be summer, but she felt very, very cold.
The next day, Cate brought Lucas and Suzie downstairs.
Wesley and Joel were having a pleasant chat in the dining room.
The warm sunlight shone through the full-length windows and fell on Wesley’s friendly face. A hint of confusion flashed through Cate’s eyes until Wesley called her.
“Cate, have some breakfast.”
Wesley stood up and served breakfast for both of them. He even thoughtfully put Lucas and Suzie’s favorite breakfast on their plate. Those attentive and gentle actions made Cate feel lost.
Could a person really act as if nothing happened at all?
After sending the two children to preschool, Cate drove to Hudson Corporation.
At 10:00 a.m., Logan came. “Are there any arrangements since you called me over?”
“How is your drug rehabilitation going?” Cate asked out of concern.
“It’s much better. I can basically control myself now.” Logan made himself at home as he sat comfortably on the sofa and poured himself some coffee.
Cate glanced at his finger that was chopped- off, with mixed feelings. “Is your finger okay?”
“It’s fine. It’s just a chopped off finger. It’s not like I can’t use it anymore.” Logan had gone through a lot of hardships when he was young. Hence, these things were no longer a big issue to him. “By the way, I’ve been checking the place where Liam went missing thoroughly for the past few days. I think Liam may already be dead.”
” I’ve guessed it too.” Cate’s lips trembled. “I just don’t understand who would want to kill him? Besides, how could a big, living person disappear without a trace?”
“Actually… Have you ever thought that something happened internally in Liona?” Logan suddenly said, “Liona’s members threw Liam at a remote alley, but I checked it. Barely any people would pass by that place.
“When Austin and I rushed over within an hour, there was still a pool of blood on the floor. It meant Liam was gravely injured. There were signs of dragging on the floor too.”
Cate understood it quickly. “You’re saying that after Liona’s members threw Liam there, another car came and dragged Liam into it?”
Logan nodded. “There’s a big possibility that someone was watching from Liona’s door from the start. Another possibility is that an internal member of Liona leaked the information.”
Cate’s heart trembled.
However, after giving it some thought, she totally agreed with Logan’s analysis.
“Actually, I didn’t quite believe Liam would leak Lyons Corporation’s data. He shouldn’t be that kind of person. I suspect there’s a spy in Liona, and it’s the same person as the one who leaked the data.
“Moreover, Liona is the organization that Shaun trusts the most. When the microchip was developed, the first thing he must’ve done was let Liona’s important members guard the laboratory. It would not be impossible for that person to steal the data and find the right timing to frame Liam.”
After she said that, Logan glanced with admiration. “Boss, I realize it’s a shame you didn’t become a police officer.”
“This is just my guess. There’s no evidence.” Cate rolled her eyes at him. “But the one who could do all of these should be Shaun’s most trusted subordinate. I reckon Shaun wouldn’t suspect that person too. Forget it. If it weren’t for Liam, I wouldn’t be interested in this matter at all.”
“That’s right. In order to investigate who the spy is, we have to enter Liona. With your current identity…
Wesley will surely be uncomfortable with it,” Logan said. “Let the Lyons family and the Campos family investigate this matter.”
Speaking about Wesley…
Cate frowned. “Let me ask you something. If it were you, what would your reaction be if you saw a video of your wife together with another man during your wedding night?”
After she spoke, she saw Logan’s strange gaze. She immediately blushed and glared at him. “That’s right. That person is me.”
“Ha, Boss, you’re truly extraordinary.” Logan laughed. “If it were me, I’d surely be very upset and have the urge to kill that person.”
“You don’t hate that woman?” “It depends on what video it is. If it were a video where the woman was resisting strongly, I would feel heartbroken and remorseful. But… if it were a video where the woman was willing, I would probably hate that woman and even feel she was two-faced. In fact…”
“In fact what?” Cate asked nervously. “She’s… quite sl*tty.” Logan was awkward to say the truth. “Anyway, I’ll surely teach that woman a lesson.”
A chill ran down Cate’s back. “Um… Logan, do me a favor and investigate Wesley. Be careful not to alarm anybody.”
“It can’t be.” Logan was shocked. “Go.” Cate gave him a sidelong glance.
Shaun was hospitalized for five days.
He only found out that the Lyons family manor was sold after he was discharged. By then, Lea had brought Old Master Lyons and Old Madam Lyons to live in a villa under the Lyons family’s business.
Although it could not compare to the Lyons family’s manor at all, the neighborhood’s management was excellent, and the courtyard was clean.
When Shaun went over, Old Madam Lyons was sunbathing with Old Master Lyons on the lawn.
