In the office.
When Cate saw the money, she had no thought of returning it to him.
So what if he gave her extra money? He had hurt her badly, yet he did not pay her a penny when he divorced her. Therefore, she would not even bat an eye if he gave her 500 million dollars, much less 50,000 dollars.
At 11:00 a.m., Mireya called Cate. “I went to the Snow family’s house this morning. Regarding the elevator incident yesterday, Uncle Nathan said that someone intentionally destroyed the cable. Based on the Mead family’s investigation, the evidence points to Chelsea.”
“Chelsea?” Cate was surprised. “I saw the Campos family egging her on last night, so she’s obviously brainless. How could she do that?”
“Yeah. Uncle Nathan said it might have to do with the Campos family, but they’ve shifted the blame to Chelsea. What’s more, everyone saw Chelsea coming into conflict with Shaun last night. The police have arrested her for interrogation.”
Cate replied, “Tsk. It looks like the Campos family has made Chelsea a scapegoat. Having said that, is Senator Mead not bothered about the matter?”
“From what Uncle Nathan said, it seems that the Mead family isn’t planning to look into it.”
Only then did it click in Cate. ” It looks like the Campos family has given them some benefits this time.”
“Most probably. By the way, Senator Mead also asked Uncle Nathan about Shaun…”
Cate’s heart did a flip. She had already noticed Hannah’s unusual gaze on Shaun last night.
“Hehe. Cate, do you think Shaun will become Senator Mead’s son-in-law?” Mireya added curiously, “If he became the future deputy prime minister’s son-in-law, it should be easy for a person of his caliber to make a comeback.”
“I don’t know. It has nothing to do with me.” Cate ended the call indifferently.
In her opinion, any man in this dire situation would definitely choose to marry Hannah if given the chance.
However, now that the Mead family took a liking to him, why did he transfer 52 thousand dollars to her? At the thought of it, she felt like slapping him to death.
She directly called Harvey in and ordered, “Be alert these few days. Don’t ever let Shaun come in.”
Harvey was momentarily stunned, but he then quickly nodded.
In order to fulfill the task Cate assigned to him, Harvey purposely informed the receptionist and security guard about it.
At 12:00 p.m., Shaun really did show up with a bouquet of roses and a lunchbox.
It was break time, so a lot of employees were going out to buy things. Although Shaun was stopped by the security guard, he still stood at the door shamelessly and insisted on meeting Cate.
“I must see her. She saved me last night, and I just want to express my gratitude to her.”
The receptionist was speechless. ” I’ve never seen people thanking their saviors this way.”
“Well, I have to. If she hadn’t saved me at the last moment, I would’ve died…” At the sight of the employees’ confused gazes, Shaun’s thin lips curled upward. “Are you guys wondering how President Cox saved me last night?”
Those employees subconsciously nodded. After all, curiosity was an innate quality. Besides, they were eager to find out how President Cox, who was already married, rescued her ex-husband.
Shaun flashed a captivating and mysterious smile. ” It was at a pitch-black place. It was very dark…”
Harvey, who was watching from the side, saw the situation was not right. He was afraid Shaun would say some ambiguous things that would affect Cate’s reputation. Hence, he squeezed over in a hurry and pulled Shaun aside. “President Lyons, you and President Cox already divorced a long time ago. Can’t you just go along your own way? If words of what you said here got out, it’d affect President Cox’ marriage.”
” Isn’t that great?” Shaun raised his eyebrows. He had already become adept at being a shameless homewrecker.
The corners of Harvey’s mouth twitched. “No. As a person, this is not right…”
“Then, I can not be a person.”
Harvey stammered. “…But, if you’re not a person, what will you be?”
“A simp.” Shaun’s expression showed no care at all.
Harvey looked at Shaun’s arrogant, handsome face. He was stunned. He did not know what Shaun had experienced to have made him like this.
Did he not care about his pride anymore?
“If you don’t let me in, I’ll have no choice but to wait here. ” Shaun sighed. “If someone asked out of curiosity, I’d have to tell everyone about last night, when your President Cox almost cried out of panic because she thought I was dead.”
Harvey’s scalp tingled. With that, he had no choice but to turn around secretly and call Cate to report the situation.
Cate’s pretty face darkened when she heard about it. “Don’t listen to his bullsh*t. I didn’t cry at all.”
“President Cox, me listening is not the problem here. If he says this to the employees, it’ll ruin your reputation.”
Harvey lowered his voice and said, “Moreover, I feel like Young Master Lyons has changed into a different person. He said he need not be a human. He can simply be a simp.”
Cate was speechless.
Then, she touched her forehead and finally said weakly, “Fine. Bring him in from the parking lot. Don’t let anyone see him.”
There were too many people and too many mouths in the company. It would be troublesome if Wesley heard about it.
In the end, Shaun went up through the president’s private elevator in the parking lot. Along the way, Harvey was very cautious. When they came out of the elevator, Harvey even complained, “You’re the one who wants to be the lover, so there’s no choice. A lover only deserves to sneak around.”
“It’s okay. For her, I can always sneak around, ” Shaun said without hesitation.
Harvey shuddered.
He could understand if anyone else said those words, but he felt very uncomfortable when it came out of Shaun’s mouth.
In the office, Harvey immediately closed the door after Shaun entered. That sneaky action made Shaun smirk at Cate. “Cate, don’t you think we look like we’re… having an affair?”
Cate was already feeling guilty toward Wesley, but after hearing those last three words from Shaun’s mouth, she picked up the mouse on the table and threw it at him out of anger. “Shut up. “
“Fine. Guilty people will usually make others shut up. I understand.” Shaun made a gesture of sewing his mouth shut. Then, he smiled mysteriously.
Cate almost spat a mouthful of blood.
She really hoped for Shaun to return to how he was before, arrogant and haughty.
She did not know how to handle shameless him. She could not even chase him away at all. He was as sticky as chewing gum.
She took a deep breath and sneered. “I heard you want to be a simp?”
“Yes, a high -class simp. This is how a man cares about a woman. I didn’t know this before, but I will learn from now on.” Only then, as Shaun stood in front of her, did he realize that once he was used to throwing his pride to the ground, picking it back up did not seem to matter to him anymore.
Cate was utterly speechless. Luckily she had already made preparations before letting him come up.
“Fine. Since you want to be a simp, then eat this.” She took a piece of raw beef from the drawer and threw it on the floor. She had asked the kitchen staff to bring it up just now.
Shaun’s handsome face darkened when he saw that piece of meat. After a moment, under Cate’s gaze, he picked that piece of raw beef and took a bite.
Cate’s eyes widened. She only wanted to prank him so that he would back off from the humiliation. She did not expect he would…
She stood up in a hurry. ” Shaun, you… You really ate it. I… I was just joking.”
A pungent, unpleasant smell filled his nose. Shaun almost puked, but he forced himself to swallow it down. “Cate, I know you want to make me leave, but I won’t go. It’s just a piece of raw beef. It’s nothing compared to the hardships that you’ve gone through before.”
After he spoke, he took another bite of the beef. His white teeth were stained with blood, but he still smiled. “In the past, you must’ve hated me so much that you wanted to devour my meat and drink my blood, right?”
“Stop eating it.”
Cate could no longer stand the sight of him taking another bite of the meat. Hence, she rushed over, snatched the meat in his hand, and threw it into the trash can.
Although she had become very rational and calm after having experienced so many things, she found that Shaun’s torment lately had made it harder and harder for her to control her emotions.
“Okay, if you don’t allow me to eat it, then I won’t. Shaun gazed at her and smiled affectionately. Those who did not know better would think what she gave him was a sweet piece of chocolate.
Helpless against a man like that, Cate’s head began to hurt. ” Shaun, how many times do I have to say…”
“I’ve packed a lunch box for you. ” Shaun took out the lunch that he made for her that morning. ” Thank you for helping me yesterday.”
Cate gritted her teeth. She blurted out, ” If I knew you’d keep pestering me, I would rather not help you yesterday.”
