Shaun said hoarsely and lowered his head to lean over.
Cate’s head exploded.
When the man left, two striking marks were left on her fair skin.
Her face turned red with anger.
“Shaun Lyons, you b*stard! ” She raised her hand and tried to hit him again.
Shaun easily blocked her hand with a smile. “If you don’t mind Wesley seeing those marks, you can get intimate with him.”
“B*stard!” catherine glared at him furiously. “Be a good girl. Go out.”
Shaun lowered his head and personally straightened her clothes before opening the door.
Cate could not care anymore. If she stayed here, she would be driven crazy by him.
She looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor. She quickly went out.
Shaun leaned against the wall and chuckled softly when he saw her careful movements outside the door. He touched his lips.
He had to say, the feeling of sneaking around was quite enjoyable.
Cate did not dare to find Wesley now. She went to the ladies’ room first.
Her lipstick had been kissed off by Shaun. She only went downstairs after touching up her makeup.
“Cate, where did you go? You didn’t answer when I called you. I’ve been looking for you everywhere. “
Wesley saw her and strode over with worry on his handsome face.
“I went to the restroom. I saw you chatting with Senator Mead just now, so I didn’t want to interrupt.”
Cate gave Wesley a random excuse.
” I see…” Wesley’s heart sank. He had just asked a female guest to look for Cate in the restroom, and he was told that there was no one there.
Evidently, Cate was lying to him.
He did not seem to see Shaun around just now as well.
Wesley clenched his hands into fists in his pockets while smiling elegantly as usual. “By the way, I got to know Senator Mead tonight. He asked me to bring you over to meet him.”
In all honesty, Cate disliked socializing with political dignitaries.
Those people were too complicated, and none of them were simple.
However, she had no choice but to tag along since Wesley had made such a request.
Drinking was inevitable in social functions.
Although Wesley did drink on her behalf, she ended up drinking quite a lot as well.
During the function, Wesley took Cate to one side to let her rest and poured her a glass of water. ” I’m sorry you ended up drinking so much. Let me take over from here. You can just stay here and rest.”
“Mm.” Cate nodded. She could drink, but she was averse to drinking with those political dignitaries.
She felt that she was now wealthy and had enough money to spend.
Hence, she disliked the feeling of fawning over someone.
Wesley stroked her hair. When he turned around to leave, Cate suddenly looked at his back and said, “Wesley, you came here tonight mainly to get acquainted with those political bigwigs, didn’t you?”
Wesley’s back stiffened. A moment later, he turned his head around. His handsome face looked apologetic and helpless. “As someone who works in the medical industry, I need to get some insider news. Whatever I received back then was quite outdated, which was why I was very passive.
Getting to know these people this time is an opportunity for me, but the main reason is also that I’m concerned about you.”
“Mm. I got it. ” Cate smiled at him. “You can tell me directly next time. I won’t mind, and I’ll understand.”
“…Okay.”
Wesley smiled. When he turned around to walk away, his face turned extremely grim.
Instead of hurrying to get acquainted with the political dignitaries, he turned around to meet Charlie at a secluded spot.
Charlie was in a foul mood. “Wesley, you came at the right time. Help me think of a way to deal with Shaun. I must teach him a lesson, or better still, kill him.”
“Why do you suddenly hate him so much?” Wesley raised his brows.
Charlie used to be very envious of Shaun and dissatisfied with how Shaun kept oppressing him.
However, all he wanted at the end of the day was just to turn things around. He had no deep resentment toward Shaun at all.
As such, it astonished Wesley that Charlie was now suggesting to kill Shaun.
“He has made me look bad time and time again. The last time I asked someone to ambush him to cause him an accident, he escaped. Yet this time, at this banquet, Mireya even butted in and destroyed my family’s reputation. I cannot swallow this.”
Charlie asked coldly, “Don’t you hate him?”
Wesley swirled the wine glass and said with a smile, “Considering Shaun’s current status, if you want to kill him, the Lyons family won’t dare kick up a fuss no matter how discontented they are.”
Charlie sighed. “I can’t kill him here. The Snow family and Shaun have a good relationship. If Shaun dies here, the Snow family will suspect us, and even if they don’t investigate the matter, they’ll feel uncomfortable with us.”
“We can still teach Shaun a lesson.” Wesley laughed.
Charlie’s eyes lit up. After a second, he said grimly, “Tell me your plans.”
11:00 p.m.
After Cate bid Mireya goodbye, she left with Wesley.
When the car was two to three kilometers away from the hotel, Cate suddenly received a call from Mireya.
“Hey, Cate. Are you alright? ” Mireya’s voice was anxious.
Cate was baffled. “What could’ve happened to me?”
“It’s good to hear your voice. I was terrified out of my wits.”
Mireya sighed in relief. “You don’t know, but something happened to the hotel elevator shortly after you left.”
The news made Cate’s heart rattle for a moment. “What happened?”
“The elevator plummeted. The server said she saw a man and a woman entering the elevator going down. The elevator plunged from the 20th floor to the ground, and it made a very loud noise.”
Mireya’s voice was shaky. “The people inside must be the guests who attended my banquet. How lucky a m I for this to happen when I finally held a banquet? The police and ambulance are now on their way here, but the people in the elevator surely won’t have survived. I called to confirm whether you’re fine. If it were you and Wesley in the elevator, I would break down.”
Cate was stunned.
Somehow, she recalled what Shaun told her tonight. He attended the banquet because of her.
Could he have left too since she had left? Could he be… in the elevator?
When this thought flashed across her mind, her face paled.
“Cate, I’ll stop here. There’s a rumpus going on at my end, but I’m relieved to know that you’re fine.”
After that, Mireya hung up the call.
Cate gripped her phone tightly. Wesley held her hand and asked with concern, “What’s the matter?”
“Mireya told me that the hotel elevator we took plunged just down. She was worried that I was inside, ” Cate explained absent-mindedly.
