“What… what do you mean?” Lea was confused. She had a feeling that Shaun knew something.
” If it was the Campos family’s doing, they’d make Chelsea a scapegoat for this incident in order to protect Charlie. Although Chelsea is Joanne’s sister and Joanne has given birth to Mason’s child, the Campos family can afford to sacrifice the Holt family. Just wait and see. We’ll hear from them soon.”
Lea shuddered. Only now did it hit her that Mason was much more terrifying than she had imagined.
“I’m going to meet the chairman of Garson Corporation this afternoon,” Shaun informed her.
“Alright.”
When Lea got to the door absent-mindedly, she turned around and reminded him with mixed feelings, ” Shaun… Take care of yourself… You’re the only son I have now.”
As Shaun stared at her desolate figure, he could not resist clicking open a group photo on his phone.
It was a photo of the entire Lyons family, taken during Old Master Lyons’s birthday a few years ago. It was the only photo he had with Liam.
In fact, he dared not let Lea know his suspicion that Liam’s disappearance had to do with Mason.
Chance’s going made Shaun suspect that there was a mole among the Liona members.
If it was the mole who stole the information regarding Lyons Corporation’s microchip, Liam might be innocent. It meant that Liam did not betray Lyons Corporation, and Mason was the one who abandoned him.
Back then, Shaun never would have thought that Mason would treat his biological son this way. After all, why would a parent harm their own child?
However, he noticed from yesterday’s incident that the Campos family was far crueler than he expected.
Hopefully… Liam was still alive.
“Young Master Lyons, Miss Mead is here, ” Hadley suddenly said.
Shaun knitted his attractive brows. A moment later, he said, “Let her in.”
Soon, Hannah appeared at the door in a purple maxi dress. She wore a butterfly-shaped diamond earring, and her face was beautifully made up. Her movement carried an eccentric sense of sexiness.
“Shaun, I deliberately came here to thank you. Here is your shirt. Thank you for lending it to me last night. I’ve had it washed.” Hannah passed him the bag in her hand.
Shaun kept still, so Hadley swiftly took it.
“Thank you for sending it over,” Shaun said coldly.
Hannah looked at the man seated in the leather chair and could tell that he did not have a good rest last night. Even so, it did not affect his noble and charming presence.
He had changed into a black shirt, which color made him look much cooler and more attractive. As his collar was not fully buttoned up, his exquisite Adam’s apple and sexy collarbones were visible.
Having grown up abroad since she was young, Hannah had met numerous influential figures.
However, none of the men had such a strong aura as Shaun’s. His glance could simply make a woman’s ears flush red.
She was set on getting this man.
At that moment, Hannah was so determined that she smiled seductively. ” It’s my responsibility to return the shirt back to its owner. I was wondering i f you’d have the time to have lunch together. I know a great restaurant here.”
Given that Shaun was down-and-out at this point, she believed he would jump at the chance because of her status.
However, Shaun glanced at her and said, “Sorry. I have to work overtime at noon.”
“Let’s make it at night, then…”
Shaun interrupted Hannah mid- sentence. “Miss Mead, I only saved you because I don’t want your dad to put me into trouble, so I don’t need you to express your gratitude or return the favor.”
Hannah stared at him in astonishment. The man’s gaze was as calm as a lake, making it hard for people to see through him.
Nevertheless, she could sense that he meant what he said.
This man’s frankness made her fall even deeper for him.
“But… I want to express my gratitude and return the favor to you. What should I do?” Hannah walked flirtatiously to his office desk and pressed her hands on it before she bent over a little.
Despite sitting on the chair, Shaun could easily get a glimpse of her chest the instant he lifted his eyes.
However, his eyes did not glint at all. Instead, he felt a faint feeling of disgust in his throat. “Miss Mead, I think you should check my profile. As everyone knows, I’m impotent, so I shall not keep you waiting.”
“I don’t buy it. How is it possible for a sturdily- built man like you to be impotent?”
Hannah stretched out her hand and touched his crotch.
Shaun’s expression changed, and he grabbed her wrist. If she were not Senator Mead’s daughter, he would have kicked such a shameless woman out.
“I just want to take a look. Why are you so nervous?” Hannah pouted without feeling embarrassed at all. “Unless you’re lying to me.”
“Get someone to check my profile, and you’ll know. I got beaten up in the detention center earlier, and I was even sent to the hospital.” Shaun rose to his feet and pushed her away coldly. “I visit the hospital every week, so my medical record is there.”
Hannah was dumbfounded at how serious he looked. She could not believe that such an excellent man was actually… impotent?
“It’s fine. I’ll get someone to cure it for you.” Hannah shot him a flirtatious look. “Besides… I can be happy even without that. I trust you.”
Shaun’s handsome face turned black with anger.
Perhaps he had never met such a shameless young lady before.
Hannah gave a faint smile before she turned around and left gracefully.
Shaun rubbed his forehead as he swung around and said to Hadley, ” If this woman comes next time, just tell her that I’m not around.”
“Okay.” Hadley was completely speechless.
“By the way, pass me your phone.” Shaun extended his hand to Hadley.
“Young Master Lyons, didn’t I buy you a new phone already…”
Under Shaun’s stony gaze, Hadley sighed and took out his phone reluctantly.
Shaun dialed Cate’s number and soon got through.
“Hi, Hadley…” Cate’s gentle voice rang.
The second Shaun heard it, he glowered at Hadley. He was surprised at how gently she spoke to Hadley.
Looking innocent, Hadley was at a loss for words. What on earth had he done wrong?
“It’s me.” Shaun cleared his throat. A second later, his handsome face became extremely gentle, which startled Hadley. Shaun must have trained his skills in switching facial expressions.
Upon hearing Shaun’s voice, Cate immediately turned cold. “Why are you the one speaking?”
Despite being despised, Shaun forced a smile. ” Thank you for paying my medical fees on my behalf last night…”
“If you want to return the money to me, I’ll send Hadley the QR code, and you can just scan it directly.” Cate cut in on him without a second thought.
Shaun choked for a few seconds before he came to and thought on his feet. “Paying you back isn’t enough to express my gratitude to you. I know a great restaurant around. I was wondering if you are free this afternoon…”
“Thank you, but I’m not.” Cate rejected him categorically.
“When will you be free then? You can set a time. I’ll go with your schedule, ” Shaun said right away.
Exasperated, Cate answered, “I’ll never be available to you.”
“Coincidentally, I’ll always be available to you…”
She hung up before Shaun could finish his sentence.
Shaun looked at the phone and laughed. In less than a minute, he received the QR code from Cate on Hadley’s phone.
He scanned the code using his phone and transferred 52 thousand dollars to her.
