“Did you hear that? Shouldn’t you be leaving?” Charlie started to chase them away too. “Manager, I don’t think they want to leave. It’s better to get the security guards to come over and chase them out.”
Hadley was infuriated, and Shaun, who was initially in a good mood, was enraged as well. Dressed in a crisp suit, Shaun excluded a cold aura as his gaze swept across like an X-ray. The manager inexplicably shivered.
At that moment, a middle ¨C aged man came out of the elevator. When he saw Shaun and the rest, he smiled and said, “President Lyons, why haven’t you gone up? Our chairman is waiting for you.”
Shaun was taken aback when he saw that man. “It’s you.”
That man was the Rolls-Royce driver that he had bumped into when he was driving with Suzie in the car. It seemed like the man on the passenger seat was the mysterious chairman of Garson Corporation.
“Yes, it’s me.” The driver smiled as he glanced at Charlie and the rest.
Charlie recognized him too. This was the man who stopped him when he went up to visit just now. At the thought that Garson Corporation’s chairman was really going to meet Shaun, his face turned green. “Why did you say that Garson Corporation’s chairman was not here when I visited just now? Is your chairman not clear about who Shaun is? Lyons Corporation is not what it used to be. They’re about to meet their end now. We, the Campos family, are currently the top corporation in Australia.”
The driver glanced at him indifferently before he said with a smile, “President Campos, you’ve come so many times already, and every time, our chairman has refused to meet you. Don’t you understand that saying he’s not here is just an excuse to save your dignity?”
“Some people really think too highly of themselves.” Shaun swept a glance across Charlie.
Charlie’s eyes were burning with rage. “Fine, tell your chairman that he’d better not regret this in the future.”
After that, he left in long strides.
That manager was stuck in the middle with an awkward expression. “I’m sorry. I thought…”
“Since you obey Charlie’s orders so well, you shouldn’t be a manager here. You should go and interview for a job at Campos Corporation.” Hadley sneered. “I’ll report this to your superior.”
After Hadley spoke, he went upstairs with Shaun.
When they reached the door to the presidential suite, the driver stopped Hadley. “Excuse me. Our chairman will only meet President Lyons.”
“Wait here.” After a hint of suspicion flashed across Shaun’s eyes, he strode in.
On the black leather sofa sat a buff man in a dark blue bathrobe. The man looked like he was in his forties. His features and outline were very masculine, but it was a shame that he had a scar on his face. That scar made one side of his face look ferocious, while the other side of his face was handsome.
At that moment, there was a cigarette between the man’s fingers. His dark eyes looked toward Shaun through the smoke.
Seeing that person clearly for the first time, Shaun thought the man was strangely familiar, but he could not remember.
“Have we met before?” Shaun asked tentatively.
That man chuckled. He extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and spoke with a hoarse voice, “We have. My last name is Lowe, Brennan Lowe. Do you still remember?”
Brennan Lowe.
It was a name that Shaun had never heard in a long time.
It had been so long that he almost forgot about that person.
He forgot that he would not have been born into the world if it were not for that person.
During his younger days, he prayed for that man to come back. However, he waited and waited until he was devastated. In the end, he could only pull through by relying on himself.
Shaun looked at the man in front of him. His expression was calm, but emotions brewed in his heart. A long moment later, he said with great difficulty, “Why did you come back? I’ve long thought of you as dead.”
Intense guilt flashed across Brennan’s hawk eyes. ” Shaun, I’m sorry…”
“You don’t have to apologize. I don’t have a father. ” Shaun cut him off abruptly. His eyes were glaring ferociously. “My dad already died when I was young.”
He turned around and headed toward the door after he spoke.
He did not even want to spend another moment in the same space as the man.
Moreover, too many things had happened that day. All of a sudden, he had a son and a daughter. Even his father, who had been missing for more than 20 years, was back.
He just wanted to cool down alone.
“Shaun, I had to leave back then. If I didn’t leave, you’d lose your life.”
Brennan suddenly spoke sorrowfully behind Shaun.
Shaun halted. Then, he looked back and gazed at Brennan in confusion.
Brennan sighed before he walked to Shaun’s side and patted his shoulders. “That year, Mason threatened me. If I didn’t disappear, he would’ve killed you. The sitter who took care of you was his people.”
Shaun was shocked. “Is the sitter you’re talking about Aunty Willa?”
“Mm.” Brennan nodded.” I did think of taking you away with me, but the Lyons family was powerful, and I had no power nor influence back then. How could I have the ability to go against the Lyons family? In addition, I had an elderly mother. I wanted to bring your Granny overseas to settle down first, then think of a way to contact you later. However, when I arrived overseas, Mason’s men came after me.”
Shaun was astonished.
He did not expect Mason to have been plotting and scheming since more than 20 years ago. “Why must he hunt you down? Didn’t my mom agree to be with him willingly?”
“Because I disrupted his plans.”
Brennan said complicatedly, “More than 30 years ago, Lea, Mason, and I were in the same school.
Your mom was the belle of the school back then. She was the goddess in every guys’ heart while I was only a university student from a family with a middle-class income. I got to know your mom because we both joined the student council.
However, Mason’s family’s financial situation was slightly better than mine. During a party, Mason spiked your mom’s wine…”
Shaun’s brows furrowed. “But mom always said that it was you who used despicable methods that time…”
“I never thought of taking advantage of your mother’s status at all, okay?”
Brennan said coldly, “It was Mason’s scheme, but I accidentally drank that glass of wine, and Mason was held up by someone else at that moment as well. After that, we had you, and the Lyons family made me marry into the family.”
Shaun frowned.
He knew about the marriage that happened afterward.
Although Brennan’s family was not financially well- off at that time, he was the scholar of the college entrance examination that year. After enrolling in university, his results were the top of the class, and he won many grand awards. Since his reputation was not bad, the Lyons family agreed to their marriage.
“So you disrupted Mason’s plans?”
“Mm.”
Brennan nodded. “Mason was supposed to marry into the Lyons family. However, it got disrupted because of me. He sincerely loved Lea at that time, so he hated me very much. And although Lea and I got into some fights after we were married, we wouldn’t have divorced if it weren’t for Mason’s continuous interventions. What I couldn’t tolerate the most was that Lea got pregnant with Mason’s child within a short time.”
“What happened when you were overseas?” Shaun continued asking.
At the mention of that, a bone -deep hatred flashed across Brennan’s eyes. “I got this scar from that time. Half of my face was nearly destroyed, but what I resented the most was that your granny stopped those people with her life to save me. In the end… she died.”
After Brennan spoke, he lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and took a long drag on it.
Shaun clenched his fists in disbelief.
He could not remember Granny Lowe’s appearance from his younger days because he was at the Lyons family most of the time. His only impression of her was that she was a loving grandmother.
Little did he know that she was killed by Mason.
It turned out that he already had a deep grudge with the Campos family a long time ago.
Brennan continued saying, “After that, in order to avoid Mason’s chase on me, I didn’t dare to use my passport. I lived like a beggar every day. I slept in an alley and ate other people’s rancid rice. Sometimes, I did illegal work for others, and I was even deprived of my salary. I was a top student, yet I lived a life of pure misery.”
Shaun’s throat gulped painfully.
He always thought Brennan had abandoned him and was living comfortably overseas.
“Did Mason take it that far back then?”
“Yes. The most hateful thing was that Mason was too good at disguising himself. Almost the whole of Australia took him as a soft-spoken gentleman, and that Lea and art were the love of his life.”
Brennan laughed sarcastically. “In other people’s eyes, I’m just a shameless man who would do anything to take advantage of your mom. No matter how I explained it to Lea, she kept thinking that I was trying to provoke and ruin her relationship with Mason. No one believed me.”
