“Young Master Snow, help me.” Thomas saw him and shouted, “I didn’t tell Young Master Kelly to harm Young Master Lyons. Young Master Lyons is my benefactor. How could I harm him? I just unintentionally said something when I was drinking with Young Master Kelly. I was wrongly accused.”
Rodney went up and kicked him. “If you were wrongly accused, then why did you hide? Damn it. You run every time you do something bad. Never mind Shaun, I have a lot of scores I want to settle with you. Let’s talk about what happened during the banquet of my new product launch. Did you drug Mireya Lynch?”
“No. I wouldn’t dare to…”
“If you didn’t dare, why did you flee the country the next day? You were nowhere to be found.” Rodney kicked him hard with an unpleasant expression. “Do you know how much trouble you caused me?”
Thomas’s whole body hurt from being kicked, but he still gritted his teeth and screamed injustice.
“Rodney, move aside. You’re all show and no go. You can’t hurt anyone like that.” Chester put on his glasses and stood up. His handsome face was elegant and graceful, but Thomas inexplicably shuddered.
Out of the three of them, Chester spoke the least and hid himself the deepest. He was a doctor on the surface, but his methods were no better than Shaun’s.
“Young Master Jewell, I swear. I wouldn’t dare to harm Eldest Young Master Lyons… Ah… Help… It hurts.”
Before Thomas could finish, Chester stepped on the back of his hand.
“Thomas Neeson, you’ve been taking advantage of your sister and us all these years to do so many bad deeds out there. Did you really think we didn’t Chester took his time to say it, but the force of his foot increased. “Shaun saved you time and time again, yet not only did you not appreciate it, but you even kicked him while he was down. In the story with the farmer and the snake, you’re the snake.”
Thomas was in so much pain that he could not utter a single word. He had even heard the sound of his fingers breaking.
“Let me ask you. Are you the only one who knows about this? Or is there someone behind the scenes directing you?” Chester suddenly spoke.
Thomas shook his head with a pale face. He did not even have the strength to speak.
He was not a fool. If he confessed that it was Sarah, Chester would not let him go either. Once Sarah married into the Snow family, he would get revenge for today.
“Cripple him down there.” Chester waved his hand a t his subordinate by the side.
Thomas’s eyes widened in fright, and before he could say a word, he fainted from the pain.
Rodney was also shocked. He thought that they were just going to beat Thomas up. After all, he was Sarah’s brother. “C-Chester, about what happened to Shaun in jail… It wasn’t Thomas…”
“I didn’t say it was Thomas.” Chester lit a cigarette. “But I have to make a show of our strength as a warning. Although the Lyons family has fallen, Shaun is still my brother. I need to let people know the consequences of provoking my brother.”
“But… there’s no need to get so bloody, right?” Rodney stammered. “After all, he’s Sarah’s… brother…”
“Sarah’s brother.” Chester puffed out a mouthful of smoke. “If he didn’t have that title, he would be stuck in jail until his fifties or sixties. Look at the wicked things he has done in recent years. He forced a female university student to jump off a building and forced himself on beautiful female employees. When he encountered someone like Mireya who was unwilling to comply, he gathered people and broke into her home.
“He assaulted her in her home, beat others, killed, and committed violence. When he failed to obtain her, he drugged her under our noses.
“Now, he has even learned how to get others to do his dirty work. People like him are hopeless. I’m doing this because I don’t want him to harm anyone anymore.”
Rodney was suddenly at a loss for words.
Thinking about it now, Thomas really was a vile and lawless person.
“Think about it. Don’t you feel ashamed? How many women has he harmed over the years because of our protection?” Chester glanced at him indifferently.
“Alright, you did the right thing. Not having him as a brother would be good for Sarah too.” Rodney nodded vaguely. “At least… we’re letting him live.”
Chester turned around and looked at his men. ” Throw him in front of Neeson Corporation’s gates.”
Two days later.
Shaun returned from Melbourne and went back to Lyons Corporation.
Hadley had been working with Lea these days, so when Shaun came back, he immediately reported the company’s situation to Shaun.
He had talked for a long time, so much that his mouth had dried up, only to see Shaun’s cold eyes. Shaun still looked the same, but as Shaun’s closest assistant, he could feel that something was different.
Although Shaun had always been cold, he was still alive. However, the current Shaun seemed lifeless and covered in frost.
“Eldest Young Master, Campos Corporation has also been trying to contact the boss of Garson Corporation these days. But this person is very mysterious and no one has seen him before,” Hadley said in a low voice.
“Campos Corporation is above Landell, yet they are still not satisfied.” Shaun opened his mouth and said coldly, “How greedy.”
“Now that they’ve become the leading company in Australia, they probably want to expand their territory internationally.” Hadley agreed with him.
Shaun suddenly fell silent, but his disdainful eyes stared at Hadley.
“Y-Young Master Lyons, did I say something wrong?” Hadley was disturbed by his stare.
“Hadley, you’re my capable assistant. Wherever I go, you follow. You should know me better than anyone else.” A cold, suffocating glint flashed across Shaun’s deep eyes. “Didn’t you notice my sudden change in attitude three years ago?”
Hadley’s eyes quivered.
Shaun caught the expression in his eyes. “What… What change? Eldest Young Master, haven’t you always been like this?” Hadley quickly calmed down and answered.
“Hadley, can I still believe you?” Shaun stood up. “Our relationship is just one between an employer and employee. During this period, many of Lyons Corporation’s executives and even the people in the secretarial department have resigned and left one after another. What about you? Have you thought about leaving before?”
Hadley was startled by his words, but he shook his head. “Eldest Young Master, I met you when I was around 14- As you know, back then, my father remarried after my mother died and did not care about me. He didn’t even pay for my tuition fees. I got into fights every day and was someone who didn’t have a future. It was your appearance that saved me. “You paid for my tuition and sent me to school. From then on, I vowed to follow you for the rest of my life. After I graduated, I didn’t have much talent in business, but it was you who taught me by hand. I will never forget that kindness. I swear, I’ll follow you for the rest of my life.”
“The rest of your life?” Shaun smiled mockingly at himself. “What if my future gets darker and darker?
“It won’t. People might not understand you, but I do. I know what you’re capable of.”
Hadley said in a low voice, “Even if you’re no longer the president of Lyons Corporation, with your status as a lawyer and your shrewdness in the financial market, you’d be noticed in any industry.”
Shaun smiled, but it was not a smug smile. It was a sad one. “I’m very talented at earning money, but I’m a fool when it comes to relationships. Hadley, I don’t believe that you didn’t notice my sudden change in attitude towards Cate three years ago.”
Hadley’s eyes widened. He had his suspicions, but he did not expect Eldest Young Master to really notice it.
“Judging by your reaction, you’ve noticed it long ago. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Shaun fiercely grabbed him by the collar. His eyes were filled with rage. “If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have acted like a fool for three years, completely unaware that I was hypnotized by Sarah.”
After he roared, he realized that Hadley was not shocked. It was as if he already knew about it. “You knew that I was hypnotized?”
Hadley nodded painfully. As matters stood, he knew he could not hide it any longer. “Ms. Cox and I were the first to realize that something was wrong with you.”
Shaun’s body trembled as he asked hoarsely, “She knew, too?”
“Yes. Don’t forget, she was the wife that slept beside you every night, and I was the assistant who followed you every day.”
Hadley said bitterly, “Three years ago, Sarah suddenly came back. Coupled with the matters from Charity’s family, you quarreled with Ms. Cox every day, and the estrangement deepened day by day. Ms. Cox didn’t trust you, and the both of you were rarely speaking. You were always in the company and didn’t want to go back, and whenever you did, you both would end up fighting again.”
“But I know you still had Ms. Cox and your children in your heart. However, one day, when you and Sarah were done with treatment at the manor, you suddenly became extremely cold to Ms. Cox. Even when she was with child, you insisted on divorcing her, and you were always with Sarah. You even… slept at Sarah’s place at night.”
Shaun’s fists clenched so hard that veins bulged.
Yes, he remembered how cruel he was to Cate. When she was pregnant, he went out with Sarah instead.
Hadley sighed. “Young Master Jewell and Young Master Snow thought that you had lingering feelings for Ms. Neeson, so they didn’t understand. They thought that after Ms. Neeson came back, you still liked her better, but I understand you, Eldest Young Master. You cared about Ms. Neeson, but you loved Ms. Cox even more. Even if you wanted to get back together with Ms. Neeson, you would have given Ms. Cox a proper way out rather than forcing her into a desperate situation.”
“Yes.” How could he have locked her up?
Shaun turned around, not wanting others to see his reddened eyes. “What happened after that? If she knew the truth, why had I never heard her say it before?”
“Would you have believed her?” Hadley asked, “At that time, you had no doubts about Ms. Neeson.
Even if Ms. Cox said it, you would just think that she was a vicious woman.”
Shaun fell silent. Yes, he would not have believed her at that point.
Hadley continued, “We consulted a notable psychiatrist about your illness. The doctor said you had been subjected to a type of ancient hypnosis that had a very slim chance of curing. If it failed, you would become a fool.”
“That year, when Ms. Cox heard those words, I saw how hopeless her eyes were. Then, she said that she wouldn’t wake you up. She would leave you be. What she wanted was a divorce and a way out, and she would let you spend your life with Ms.
Neeson. I knew that she loved you at that time, but she would rather endure the pain of being abandoned than risk you becoming a fool.”
At those words, Shaun’s heart ached as if it was being torn apart.
