“Grandpa, are you feeling better?” Shaun walked over and looked at Old Master Lyons with guilt. Old Master Lyons let out a long sigh. “My legs aren’t that well anymore. I didn’t think that I would live most of my life in glory only to witness Lyons Corporation’s downfall when I turned old.”
“Forget it. This is all fate, but this is quite good too.” Old Madam Lyons had come around to the situation. “We don’t have to worry about our meals. Except for being looked down on by others, we’re still better off than most people.”
Shaun did not expect Old Madam Lyons would get over it so quickly. “Grandpa, I’m sorry. I’m largely responsible for Lyons Corporation’s current situation. I didn’t manage it properly…”
“You’re indeed responsible for it.” Old Master Lyons glared at Shaun. “You should’ve been present at Lyons Corporation personally. If it weren’t for you bringing Cate overseas, other people wouldn’t have had the chance to sneak in.
“But we can’t put all the blame on you either. It’s all fate. You and your mom are actually quite similar. You both like to drive yourselves into a blind alley and don’t know how to treasure things that are supposed to be treasured. Your dad treated her so well back then, but she looked down on him. She kept thinking that Mason was deeply in love with her.”
Dad…
That word had been unfamiliar to Shaun for a long time.
He was in a daze for a moment until he heard Old Madam Lyons saying, “There has been no news of your dad for tens of years. I reckon he has already married someone with children overseas.”
Just as she finished speaking, a black sedan drove in. Lea got down the car. “What were you guys talking about?”
Old Madam Lyons said bluntly, “We were talking about Brennan.”
Lea was stunned. That person had left her world for so long that she had almost forgotten that part of her life.
“If you listened to us back then and stayed with Brennan, there wouldn’t be so much trouble now,” Old Master Lyons said. “You even dared say that Brennan coveted the Lyons family’s wealth. You’re blind.”
Lea felt uncomfortable. “That’s uncertain either. Maybe he’s the same type of person as Mason. Dad, Mom, stop talking about this matter. Shaun, you came back at the right time. I’ve received information that Garson Corporation’s director has come back to Australia discreetly. If we can collaborate with Garson Corporation and temporarily bring in their company’s advanced equipment, Lyons Electronics might be able to overcome this difficulty.” “Garson Corporation?” Shaun was taken aback. He recalled that the company was a mega- corporation in Europe that had not been established for a long time. It had only been 20 years.
Garson Corporation kept a low profile too. The person in power behind the scenes was mysterious and did not take part in charts of the wealthiest people in the world. However, no one dared to underestimate that company. Apparently, Garson Corporation had offices in more than loo countries.
“Shaun, come to the company tomorrow, and let’s try to meet Garson Corporation’s director.” Lea sighed.
Shaun went silent.
At night, after dinner, Shaun left the villa on the excuse of going for a walk.
His body was in a bad state, and he felt like he had lost all his motivation.
So what if he did rise again in the future? He was no longer a complete person. In this lifetime, he was destined to have no wife nor children. He could only be alone.
However, everyone in the Lyons family was counting on him. He had no right to back down.
Perhaps he was too depressed, so he went into a bar when he spotted one.
He ordered a lot of drinks. He downed glass after glass of alcohol as if the pain in his heart could only be lessened if he was drunk.
In a private room on the second floor, when Thomas came out to go to the bathroom, his eyes lit up when he saw Shaun, who was drinking downstairs.
He called Sarah immediately. ” Sarah, guess who I met at the bar? It’s Shaun. Tsk tsk, he’s really shabby now. He’s wearing such a cheap T-shirt and drinking his sorrows away.”
“Him?” The corners of Sarah’s mouth lifted.
Shaun was one whom she loved yet hated him at the same time. It was a shame that man did not know to cherish her in the past.
However, Shaun was now so shabby that he was not good enough for her anymore, and she would never forget the humiliation back then. “Since you met him, find someone to entertain him properly.”
Thomas was startled, but excitement then followed. “Great. I’ve been tolerating his temper for so many years. F*ck, I’ve had enough since a long time ago. But Young Master Snow and Shaun are good friends. Will Young Master Snow give me a hard time later?”
He went into hiding some time ago and only came out just two days ago. If he offended Rodney again, he might really have to face the consequences.
“Fool, Shaun is usually so high and mighty, he must’ve offended many people. Sometimes, there’s no need to do it yourself. Just move your lips, and there will naturally be someone to teach him a lesson, ” Sarah reminded him.
Thomas understood in an instant. “Okay. I got it.” He knew full well who in the whole of Canberra was dissatisfied with Shaun.
Thomas thought of an idea and dialed a number. ” Simon, where are you right now?”
Shaun left a wad of cash drunkenly before he staggered out of the bar.
In a blur, it seemed as if he had bumped into someone.
That person pushed him hard, and Shaun, whose legs were weak, fell into a puddle of mud.
“Haha, look. This is the once arrogant Shaun. Back then, Young Master Lyons was so haughty. He always ignored us when we talked to him. Everyone was of similar age, yet he always looked down on us.” Young Master Kelly pointed at Shaun and laughed mockingly.
The subordinates behind him followed and laughed as well.
“Simon, now that the Lyons family is in dire states, Shaun can’t compare to you at all.” Someone flattered him.
“That’s right. I thought I’d never in my life have the chance to teach this person a lesson.”
Young Master Kelly stepped on Shaun’s chest. His face was smug. “Shaun, do you still remember who I am?”
“Get lost,” Shaun said as he gasped for air. Not only did his brain feel numb from being drunk, but he also had double vision.
“Haha, you don’t know me, but I recognize you.” Young Master Kelly gritted his teeth and said, ” Back then, you broke my leg on the yacht.”
Shaun shook his head so hard that it hurt. He did not know what that person was saying.
“You, Young Master Lyons, are forgetful because you’re a busy man. It’s okay. I can remind you of it. Three years ago, we did nothing but watch Cate dance and touched her a bit on Rodney’s yacht. You were so cocky that you had someone break our legs. You even put out a word saying if anyone dared to expose it, you’d make our family disappear.”
Young Master Kelly pressed his foot harder onto Shaun’s chest. “You were so cocky that time. You must’ve never thought that this day would come for you. I’ve held back that anger for a few years.
Today, I’ll pay you back in the exact same way you broke my leg three years ago.”
After he spoke, he stepped on Shaun’s kneecap hard.
Shaun’s face paled from the pain. Although he was drunk, he still flung Young Master Kelly away instinctively.
Young Master Kelly, who lost his balance, was furious. He waved his hand. “All of you, charge. I must beat him up until he’s crippled tonight.”
He led more than ten people and surrounded Shaun in an instant.
Shaun was drunk, so he could not see clearly. In a split second, he was kicked to the ground, surrounded and beaten up by more than ten people.
Initially, he could still fight back.
Afterward, for some reason, he did not want to move. He just let them beat him up.
They could hit him all they want. His life was already meaningless anyway.
Thinking back, he was deceived by Sarah. She was obviously a deceitful woman. It was her lies that made him lose his marriage and children.
Now, the woman he loved was another person’s wife.
Lyons Corporation met its downfall in his hands, and even Liam’s death was related to him. What was more tragic was as a man, he… was incapable of s*x anymore.
Haha.
On the road, a sports car stopped in front of a traffic light.
That night was the birthday of Hudson Corporation’s general manager. As the director, Cate booked a private room and invited the company’s senior management team to celebrate the general manager’s birthday together.
It was not until just now that she came out from the karaoke.
When the traffic light turned green, she drove her car ahead and suddenly noticed someone fighting by the road from the corner of her eye.
She slowed down and took a look. It seemed like a group of people was hitting one person.
With a frown, she stepped on the brakes immediately.
If it were the old her, she would have just reported it to the police. However, her self-defense skills now were quite good, so she was willing to save someone if she could.
Nevertheless, when she walked over, she found the person who was being beaten up familiar. Although that person was on the ground and covered with mud all over the face, shirt, and pants, she could still recognize Shaun from that heavily wounded face.
She could not believe that Shaun would be reduced to being beaten up on the street.
