“Shaun, I’m currently not in the mood…”
Cate immediately pushed him away. The sight of the man’s burning eyes left her completely speechless. “Suzie and Lucas almost died, yet you’re aroused.”
“I’m not aroused. I just feel like kissing the woman I love.”
Shaun laughed in a self-righteous manner. “You’re not in the mood for it now, but when you feel like doing it, just let me know. I’m at your beck and call.”
“Can you behave yourself? If you’re involved with me, Suzie and Lucas wouldn’t have encountered that kind of incident,” Cate said in annoyance.
“You’re wrong. If I weren’t involved with you, you might’ve been leading a peaceful married life with Wesley and gotten cheated on even more. ” Shaun added firmly, “Such a hypocritical man might not truly be as in love with you as he said.”
Cate was at a loss for words. Shaun seemed to have a brilliant mind, but he was an idiot back then, was he not?
“Unlike me.” Shaun gave an evil smile all of a sudden. “When I love someone, I show my love. When I’m bad, I behave badly. I’ll never hide nor pretend.”
“So, should I reward you?” Cate snorted. ” After all, everyone in Australia knows that you’re a n utter sc*mbag.”
“…Ahem. Let’s go to the police station.” Shaun clenched his fist and coughed embarrassedly. After that, he started the car to divert her attention.
Cate had a lot of things to think through, so she did not bother arguing with him.
During the journey, all she thought about was Lucifer’s death.
Lucifer’s death earlier had to be related to Sarah. The thing was Lucifer was killed by a murderer from Neah Bay although the Campos family did not have a grudge against him. In this case, it was very likely that Sarah had the backing of the Campos family or their mysterious follower.
At this point, Shaun suspected that the mysterious follower was Wesley.
If this was true, Wesley was probably in contact with Sarah.
All of a sudden, it struck Cate that someone threw Logan and Sarah into a cave when Sarah was kidnapped the last time.
At that time, Cate wondered how Logan’s presence was discovered. After all, he was her right- hand man, and he had always been very secretive.
Previously, she was under the impression that Logan was discovered because a reporter had captured his back at the pub.
If her assumption was wrong, it would mean that Wesley was the one who willfully revealed Logan’s whereabouts.
Later, when it came to filing a lawsuit against Shaun, the odds of winning were against her initially. However, it was Wesley who provided her with convincing evidence and saved Logan.
With that, she was very grateful to Wesley that she promised to marry him then.
When she reflected on it now, she felt it was very likely a scheme that Sarah and Wesley had hatched together.
“Cate, we’re at the police station. What are you thinking? You didn’t even move a bit.”
Shaun moved closer to her to unfasten the seat belt for her. Seeing that she had zoned out, he quickly kissed her on the forehead.
Cate looked at him in bewilderment, still intent on this dreadful assumption.
“Are you okay?”
Shaun could not resist how she was staring fixedly a t him, which was indeed alluring. Hence, he lowered his head and kissed her lips despite knowing that this was not the right place to do it.
“Shaun… ” Cate covered his mouth with her hand. “Let’s get out.”
Shaun was at a loss for words as he thought that she was going to tell him off.
Only when she pushed the door open and walked out did Shaun follow her.
In the police station.
Cate and Shaun saw the hit-and-run driver who had been arrested by the police. The driver’s last name was Zucker, and he was 6o years old.
As soon as Driver Zucker saw them, he dropped on his knees and apologized to them. “It wasn’t my intention to hit you. I accidentally pressed the accelerator, which I mistook for the brake. I can’t afford to compensate you, so I don’t mind being in jail forever.”
Although the driver appeared very apologetic, Cate flew into a rage.
Shaun stared down at the driver. “Whether you took bribes or not, you know better than anyone else.”
A dazed look washed over Driver Zucker’s face. “I don’t know what you’ re talking about. Who did I take bribes from?”
“I suspect that you had the intention of killing me.” Shaun said nonchalantly, “Your son is just a hooligan, but he suddenly went to the States last month, where he owns a house and car.”
“It’s because he’s clever at making money, ” Driver Zucker disputed in a huff.
Officer Wise, who was in charge of the case, took the hit-and-run driver away before shifting his gaze to Shaun. “President Lyons, is everything you just said true?”
“Sorry, Officer Wise. After the incident, I found a way to investigate the hit-and-run driver’s family through the internet and felt it’s a little strange.” Shaun said helplessly, “As you know, I’ve offended many people with my status back then. Having said that, I’m very pissed that he almost killed my children this time.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll reinvestigate the incident from scratch.”
Upon hearing Shaun’s words, Officer Wise nodded seriously. If the driver had the intention of killing the kids, he would not allow such a devil to exist.
Ever since Cate walked out of the police station, there was a sullen look on her face. Afraid that she would lose her temper, Shaun explained to her, “Sorry, Cate. I can’t show the police the warning message Chance sent to me as it could raise the alarm. With the Campos family’s current wealth and power, we won’t be able to defeat them if we don’t have enough evidence. We can’t expose Chance, or Liam’s death would be in vain.”
“I understand. I’m not as stupid as you think.” Cate could not help but say impatiently, “I don’t think the police will find out anything even if they continue to investigate it.”
Shaun raised his brows. “Not necessarily. Even if the police can’t hunt down the mastermind, it can trigger conflict within the Campos family. Think about it. Wesley made the killer under the Campos family work for him. If the police continue to investigate the incident, it’ll set the alarm bells ringing in Mason’s head. Knowing that someone is secretly causing him trouble, do you think Mason can stay cool?”
Cate was startled. She then shot a look at him. “You’re not so dumb, after all.”
Shaun’s handsome face darkened in spite of himself. He could tell that Cate was mocking him for being deceived by Sarah back then, so he did not mind her saying it. However, if it were someone else who said it, he would have killed that person. “Cate, I’m no longer the same as I was before…”
“I heard Sarah got Stevens to represent her in the lawsuit. And the trial is tomorrow, right?” Cate changed the topic out of the blue.
“Cate, you’re quite concerned about my affairs, huh?” A flirtatious smile crossed Shaun’s face.
Cate smiled discreetly and said, “Well, it’s because you didn’t give me a penny when we divorced. But when you broke up with Sarah, you gave her 100 billion dollars.” Shaun was at a loss for words.
He finally knew how it felt to shoot himself in the foot.
“Cate, it was my fault. Once I win the lawsuit, I’ll offer 1oo billion dollars and myself to you. If you still can’t get over it, I’ll sink to my knees every day.” Shaun clenched his fists and coughed softly before he swore, “If you’re still angry, I can kneel for you now.”
Now?
Speechless, Cate watched the people walking in and out of the police station. If he kneeled here, he would definitely make headlines tomorrow.
“Shaun, what happened to your high and mighty image back then?”
“Because of you, I’ve shed it.” Shaun stared at her intently. “I don’t mind losing my dignity and honor for your sake.”
Cate rubbed her brows. His interruption had made her forget what she was about to say.
She turned around and headed to the car. With that, Shaun immediately ran over and opened the passenger door for her.
“Cate…”
Wesley’s car suddenly stopped in front of them. Dressed in a black suit, Wesley got out of his car. His eyes were gentle. “I knew you’d come to the police station. Have you settled it?”
Shaun’s handsome face sank and made no pretense of giving him the cold shoulder. As he was about to speak, he heard Cate say apologetically, “Yes. I’m sorry. I forgot to contact you because I was preoccupied with Lucas and Suzie just now…”
“It’s alright. I can understand it. What matters most is that the kids are fine. Since it has been settled, let’s go home. ” As Wesley was speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold Cate’s hand.
Shaun clutched Wesley’s wrist and glared at him. ” She’s not going back. The kids got a fright, so I’ll take her to my place.”
Wesley looked coldly into Shaun’s eyes as well. ” Excuse me. She’s my wife. She should go home with me. My house is where she calls home.”
“Shaun, let go of Wesley. He’s right. His house is my home, and I should go back. Please help me calm the kids,” Cate interrupted the two men.
Shocked, Shaun gazed at her with a disappointed and complicated look in his eyes. Her pretty face was calm and self-righteous.
What on earth was she trying to do? Was she aware of what she was saying?
