He chewed over the name in his throat, wanting nothing more than to eat her bones and bite her flesh.
At night, in the room of a clubhouse.
Chase ordered the alcohol, and Shaun only appeared at 9:00 p.m.
He was pale and looked dazed.
“Hey, what did you do to yourself?” Chase did not feel good seeing him like this.
“It’s just a failure. With your capability, whether it’s in law or finance, it won’t be a problem for you to come back to Melbourne and become a big shot.”
“That’s not it.” Shaun popped a bottle of beer and chugged it, his eyes red again.
Chase was startled. “What’s up with you?”
He had known Shaun for more than ten years, but this was his first time seeing Shaun cry. It was as if he saw a ghost.
“You don’t understand. I lost the most important thing in my life.” Shaun looked up and said bitterly, “Chase, can you tell me about my past with Cate? I want to know how we met, got closer, and fell in love with each other.”
“Sure. Three years ago, you just came to Melbourne .” Although Chase was confused as to why he suddenly wanted to hear about Cate, he still talked about it.
He talked until Shaun fell asleep, drunk.
He could not help but call Rodney. “Are you guys even brothers? You guys should accompany Shaun more since such a big thing happened to him. Look, now he’s here in Melbourne drinking his sorrows away.”
” Shaun is in Melbourne?” Rodney became upset. He only found out in the morning that Thomas instigated Young Master Kelly to beat up Shaun. He was currently looking for Thomas all over Canberra.
“Yes.” Chase sighed. “Rodney, I understand that you fought with Shaun because of Sarah, but you’ve known each other for more than ten years. You guys are always there for each other whenever one of you is in trouble, no? Hasn’t that happened to you before too?”
“Chase, what do you take me for? Yes, I thought that Shaun was too cold-blooded before. But after something so big happened to him, I can still distinguish the seriousness of the matter. I’m not a fair- weather friend.” “Okay, it’s good that you think that way.”
In Canberra.
After Rodney hung up the phone, his chest was about to explode in anger.
He was mainly furious at Thomas. How dare Thomas come back and bully Shaun when he had yet to settle the score with Thomas for drugging Mireya the last time.
Thomas did not listen to him now either, and he did not have anyone capable in his hands. Hence, he could only reign in his anger and look for Sarah instead.
When he arrived at the seaside villa and saw the brand-new sports car parked in the yard, he became even more furious.
“Rodney, why are you here so late?” Sarah, dressed i n graceful pajamas, came out.
She really did not want to see Rodney at this time, but he must be here because of Thomas. She really admired that stupid pig Thomas, who managed to get his hands dirty even when someone else was doing the dirty work.
“Sarah, I’m just here for Thomas. Where is he hiding?” Even when faced with her s*xy appearance, Rodney’s beautiful face did not look like he was in a good mood at all. “Did you hear about Shaun getting beaten up?”
“Shaun was beaten up?” Sarah was shocked, and pain flashed across her face. “I didn’t know. I’ve been working at the hospital recently.”
Rodney said furiously, “Thomas saw Shaun drinking last night and told Young Master Kelly about it. What relationship does Young Master Kelly have with Shaun? He hates Shaun’s guts, so he immediately gathered his people to beat Shaun up.
I really don’t understand why you have a brother like that. How many times has Shaun helped him? I f not for Shaun, he would be in jail by now. Just what the hell is going on in his mind?”
“I’m sorry.” Sarah looked embarrassed and bitter. “After that incident with you, I’ve been so angry that I haven’t contacted him at all. He did call me, but I didn’t answer. Rodney, I hate him more than anyone else.”
“Don’t apologize. I’m not mad at you. I just can’t understand people like Thomas.” Rodney gritted his teeth. “Sarah, can you contact him? Yes, I want to teach him a lesson. Will you help me?”
“Don’t say that. He should be taught a lesson. I’ll call him and try to find out, but I don’t know if he’ll answer.”
Sarah found Thomas’s number and dialed it, but no one answered. She gritted her teeth and said, “He’s not even picking up my calls. Oh, right. How… is Shaun? After all, we’ve known each other for more than ten years. It’s… impossible not to worry about him.”
“Oh, he went to Melbourne.” Rodney sighed. “I don’ t know why he’s suddenly in Melbourne. He even went drinking with Chase too.”
Melbourne…
The word made Sarah’s heart skip.
She remembered that Shaun and Cate met in Melbourne. Did he suspect something?
“Sarah…” Rodney’s voice once again pulled her out from her thoughts. “I saw a new sports car outside. Did you change it?”
“Yes…” Afraid he would misunderstand that she was crazy about money, Sarah hurriedly explained, “I didn’t want the old car anymore. I want to completely get rid of the past memories”
“Oh, Sarah, you see… When you two broke up, he gave you 1oo billion dollars. Now that Shaun is quite miserable and Lyons Corporation urgently needs money, can you… return some of the money to him first?” Rodney mustered up his courage to say.
If it were another woman, he would not say it. Yet to him, Sarah was a person who valued friendship over money, so he felt she would definitely agree.
Moreover, Shaun’s break-up fee was really quite astronomical. No man in the world would give so much money to his ex-girlfriend before getting married. “Of course, I’m not asking you to give it all. Just give him around 60 to 70 billion dollars. Look, you’ll marry me one day, and Osher Corporation’s performance is getting increasingly better. We definitely won’t be short of money in the future. I’ll be able to fully support you and give you a wealthy life, so… can you help Lyons Corporation through this crisis? I’m sure with his personality, he’ll definitely repay you double if he has a change of fortune.”
Sarah wanted to vomit blood as she listened to Rodney.
Give Shaun 6o to 70 billion?
Was he crazy? How could she give Shaun so much money?
Yes, Shaun was capable, but he had too many enemies. They would never let Shaun have the chance to change his fortune.
If it were the high and mighty Shaun Lyons of the past, she would not hesitate to give it to him. After all, she would be able to get more than she gave, but the current Shaun…
Forget it. Since his net worth was even less than hers, she wanted nothing to do with him anymore.
Only an idiot like Rodney would still think of Shaun as a brother. If not for the Snow family backing him, she would have found someone else with a higher social standing.
However, she did not dare to say those words. At least, she could not let Rodney think that she was materialistic.
“Rodney, I really want to help Shaun too.”
She lowered her eyes and revealed a pitiful and helpless look on her face. “I’ve already put the money Shaun gave me into a trust fund. It’s the kind that seals the money for 3o years, so I can’t take it out even if I want to. As for the rest of the real estate shops and houses, I’ve rented them all out and signed long-term contracts. If I default, I’ll have to pay a large fee for breach of contract.”
“I see…”
Rodney froze. He thought that Sarah would agree without hesitation.
This was not quite what he had expected.
Sarah was now like a friend who found various excuses not to lend money to a good friend who was in a critical moment.
“Forget it, then. It’s very late, so I’ll leave now. You should rest up. I won’t bother you anymore.” Rodney waved his hand, not in the mood to stay any longer.
“Rodney, I’m sorry I can’t help you at all.” Sarah looked like she was on the verge of tears with guilt.
“It’s fine. Chester and I can help if Shaun needs money. I was just asking.”
Rodney reluctantly comforted her before walking out of the villa.
As he drove out, he looked back at the villa. Although it was by the seaside, the beach was exquisite, the water was blue, and it was closest to the city. It was the most expensive waterfront land in Canberra. Shaun bought it with 300 million back then, and now, this villa was worth at least 8oo million.
When Shaun broke up with her, he gave this villa to Sarah without hesitation. Meanwhile, his grandparents were now living in a villa worth several tens of millions in the suburbs.
Rodney sighed.
Forget it. He could not blame Sarah. Since Shaun gave the money to her, she had the right to use it however she wanted to. Besides, it was not just tens of thousands. It was hundreds of billions. These days, money is more important than anything, so no one would want to fork it out. Even a kind girl like Sarah could not help it.
At that moment, Chester suddenly called him. ” I caught Thomas.”
“Where are you? I’ll be right there.”
Rodney immediately drove to a factory under the Jewell family.
When he arrived, Thomas was tied up on the ground while Chester, dressed in an expensive suit, was sitting on a chair. He lowered his head and slowly and methodically wiped the glasses in his hand.
As soon as he saw Rodney, his double eyelids glanced over at him. His eyes looked calm, but there was a hint of grimness inside.
