His black double-breasted suit outlined his tall and magnificent body. A brown tie hung around his neck. His handsome and dazzling features looked like God had meticulously carved them.
Many men were wearing black suits tonight, but he was still the most outstanding one.
It just so happened that Wesley was also wearing a black suit tonight.
He did look good, but compared to Shaun, he did not look as refined.
Cate could not help but sigh in her heart. Suits still looked the best on Shaun.
While she was distracted, Shaun seemed to sense something and turned to face her.
She quickly looked away and glanced at Wesley with a little guilt.
She thought that Wesley would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, Wesley was not looking at her at all. His eyes were focused on the other side where a group of powerful people was gathered.
Cate was slightly stunned. Then, Wesley turned and said to her, “Cate, Mireya is there. Let’s go and say hello.”
“Okay.” Cate had the same idea.
Mireya was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person tonight. She wore a beautiful gown, her body slender and graceful but also dignified and elegant. She looked just like a real princess.
The wives of those influential bigwigs surrounded her with smiling faces.
However, when Mireya saw Cate, she immediately welcomed her with joy. “Cate, you’re here. Let me introduce you. This is my godmother, Heidi Lloyd. Heidi, this is my best friend, Cate Cox. This is her husband.”
“Hello, Mrs. Snow,” Wesley quickly said respectfully, “I’m Wesley Sanderson, the president of Golden Corporation.”
“Hello. ” Heidi smiled and nodded. Her eyes then fell on Cate. “Mireya talks about you often. You can come to the Snow residence any time you want to see her.”
“Yes, it’s an honor.” Cate nodded.
Heidi looked very satisfied. She was used to seeing too many sweet-talking and flattering people, but she could spot the purity in Cate’s eyes.
As for the husband beside her…
“You sisters talk slowly. I’ll go over there and meet a few friends.” Heidi smiled and walked away. Her every movement carried a dignified air.
“Mireya, your godmother is quite good to you.” Wesley stared at Heidi’s back meaningfully.
She was the future president’s wife. If he could build a good relationship with her, it would definitely be of help to him in the future.
“Yeah, Godmother is great. She doesn’t put on airs. The Snow family is very united,” Mireya praised sincerely.
Wesley nodded. “You two must have a lot to talk about. I’ll walk around over there and won’t bother you.”
“Be careful,” Cate told him. When Wesley left, Mireya grinned and threw a hand over Cate’s shoulders. “Wesley is quite sensible. By the way, Shaun also came tonight. I didn’t want to invite him, but he has a good relationship with the Snow family, so I gave him an invitation.”
“Mmh.” Cate noticed that not only was Shaun here but the Campos family as well.
“Hey, do you think that Shaun is quite miserable now? Look at him standing there alone. No one is bothered to talk to him.”
Mireya clicked her tongue in lament. “Back in the days, Shaun was the focus wherever he went and countless people wanted to build connections with him. Now… he’s fallen so far down.”
Even without Mireya’s words, Cate had noticed long ago how Shaun was standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He held a wine glass in his hand, ignored by everyone.
Although he was very eye-catching and many people were peeking at him, there were more glances that were gloating in nature.
At that moment, she noticed a young woman with a wine glass approaching him. She did not know what they were talking about, but when Shaun frowned and turned to leave, the woman suddenly grabbed his hand and poured the wine in his glass on her dress. Then, she yelled, “Ah, Shaun Lyons, you’re too much! My dress is all ruined now.”
The guests immediately looked over.
They recognized the woman as Chelsea Holt, the youngest daughter of the Holt family. They had already heard that the eldest daughter of the Holt family, Joanne Holt, had become Mason Campos’ woman.
The smart ones immediately figured out what was going on when they saw this scene. Someone attentively came forward and asked, “Young Lady Holt, what’s wrong?”
Chelsea pointed at Shaun with red eyes and complained, ” I saw him standing here alone so I came to greet him, but after a few words, he started to flirt with me. I wanted to leave, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me. He even spilled his wine on my dress. Oh, how can I face other people like this?”
She clutched her chest and sobbed.
“You’re shameless!” A young man immediately pointed at Shaun and yelled, ” Shaun Lyons, who do you think Ms. Holt is? Do you think you can lay a hand on her? Why don’t you take a mirror to look at your current self?
“Why did the Snow family invite such a rogue like you? Apologize to Young Lady Holt immediately.”
Everyone started to talk, and Shaun’s face flushed with scorn.
He had just been standing here to rest, but Chelsea suddenly came over to pester him. He did not want to be disturbed and wanted to leave, but she suddenly poured his wine on her. It was clear that she wanted to frame him.
“Young Lady Holt, please look at your face before telling others I was flirting with you. My taste isn’t that low.”
Shaun said faintly, “If you want me to apologize, sure. Take out the surveillance footage. If I’m the one at fault, I’ll apologize.”
“What surveillance footage? It’s clearly your fault. “
A young man from a wealthy family sneered, “I think you’re just trying to stick to the Holt family because the Lyons family is done for.”
“Yeah, don’t think of leaving this place if you don’t apologize to Young Lady Holt on your knees.”
A group of people surrounded Shaun and pointed at him. Of course, there were people who did not say anything, but they were all looking at the scene like they were watching a show. Shaun suddenly seemed to be completely isolated.
“Chelsea, what’s going on?” Mason and Charlie walked over at the same time. Charlie’s expression was full of gloating.
“Mason, you’re just in time. He bullied me and splashed wine on me, ” Chelsea said with red eyes.
“Shaun Lyons, you’re really capable. A big man has his own ways of taking liberties with a woman,” Charlie immediately said, “Kneel down and apologize to Chelsea immediately. We’ll forgive you then.”
Mason stood by the side, his elegant face dignified and dark.
It was clear that he wanted what Charlie wanted too. “You want me to kneel?”
Shaun’s delicate and thin lips curled coldly. His gaze swept over everyone one by one. “I’m afraid you’re not qualified.”
“He’s too rampant. Throw him out!” someone shouted.
Mason looked at the crowd gently. “Don’t say that. He was invited by the Snow family.”
“So what if he was invited by the Snow family? Throw him out. He has no right to stay here.”
Many rich kids came forward and started pushing Shaun.
Mireya, who was not far away, clicked her tongue. ” When a wall is about to fall, everyone gives it a shove. It doesn’t matter if Shaun is being framed. Those people just want to see him get embarrassed.” “Mireya, go help him out, ” Cate finally sighed and said to her.
Mireya looked at Cate with a vague smile. ” Can’t bear to see him like that?”
“Don’t be ridiculous.” Cate rolled her eyes. ” I’m a kind-hearted person whose heart overflows with justice. I can’t stand to see any acts of bullying.”
“But my heart isn’t overflowing with justice. I haven’ t forgotten how Shaun allowed Thomas to hurt me, ” Mireya deliberately said.
Cate, ” “
“Forget it, I’m just kidding.” Mireya suddenly smiled. “I’m the same as you. I don’t like to see others bullying the weak.”
Cate was speechless. That woman actually teased her.
“Wait here.”
Mireya flicked her hair and put on a princess-like temperament before walking over just in time to see Shaun grab the wrist of a young man who was pushing him.
“Ouch, it hurts!” The young man bent over and screamed, “Help, Shaun is bullying me!”
“You’re also a man, but you only know how to shout for help. If I were you, I’d be too embarrassed to shout. ” Shaun gripped the man’s wrist tightly, giving off a chilly aura. Although his current status was probably the lowest among everyone at this banquet, his sharp eyes when he was angry made the people around him fear him.
Seeing how the people around Shaun were no longer pushing him, Charlie hurriedly shouted righteously, “Shaun Lyons, let go of Young Master Riley’s hand immediately! I’ve never met such an arrogant bully before.”
