In the office.
Cate flipped open the file that Shaun gave her and went through the documents thoroughly.
Shortly after, Harvey knocked on the door and came in. “Chairwoman Cox, Wesley Sanderson from Golden Corporation is holding a press conference. It’s now being live-streamed.”
“Let me watch it. ” Cate went over to watch. Wesley was seen bowing and apologizing for his mistakes in the live stream. This man even choked up with reddened eyes while showing remorse.
” I’m sorry for showing the public and society such a negative side of me.”
A reporter said, “You didn’t wrong us, but you’ve wronged your wife. You claimed that she had an affair with Shaun, yet you’ve been fooling around with your secretary every day and acting like a pervert. What’s worse, you even beat your wife up. Don’t you find yourself terrifying?”
“I didn’t mean to behave like that.” Wesley suddenly covered his eyes and teared up.
At this moment, Sonya came out of nowhere and told the reporter off hysterically, “Why are you guys criticizing him when he’s the victim?
Cate is an indecent mistress. Three years ago, my brother shielded her and was stabbed in order to save her. In the end, he lost a kidney. He loved her so much that he was willing to risk his life, only to be pushed under the bus by her. Are you guys heartless?”
The reporters were astonished. “Was there such an incident?”
Sonya thundered, “Of course! Ever since he lost a kidney, he has been very weak. Cate’s affairs have also put him under a lot of stress. There’s no way he can vent his frustration. Also, his secretary likes him and has always been seducing him. That’s why things turned out this way.”
After pausing for a moment, Sonya burst into tears. “My son’s death was also caused by Cate, that wicked woman. My son, Nathan, was her ex- boyfriend. She still contacted my son frequently even after she married Wesley. My son went to look for her the other day and on his way to meet her, he got into an accident and passed away.
“Cate, you’ll be cursed with a horrible death sooner or later. Karma will get you for making the Sanderson family suffer so much.
“I pity my daughter-in-law who’s still pregnant.”
Cate saw a lot of criticisms on the screen. [I’ve heard of Nathan. He’s very handsome. It seemed that he got in a relationship with Cate when they were students.]
[No wonder Wesley looked like a pervert in the video to me. It turns out that Cate forced him to that state.]
[Fair enough. If I risked my life and lost my kidney for a woman but she betrayed me over and over again, I’d be so pissed and end up mentally ill too.]
[I feel that Cate is a scheming woman. Wesley has done so much for her, but ultimately, she secretly kept him under surveillance to smear his reputation.]
[The Sanderson family is truly miserable, so is Nathan’s pregnant wife.] [Cate is utterly heartless.]
“Chairwoman Cox.” Harvey looked at Cate’s expression anxiously. “Wesley is truly despicable.”
“His despicable behavior is nothing new.”
Gazing at the documents in her hand, Cate felt lucky to have received these from Shaun in time.
Otherwise, she would have a tough time turning things around.
“Help me buy two packets of cold medicine and send them to Lyons Corporation.” Cate lifted her phone and said, “I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“What?” Harvey was lost.
“Buy some medicine.” Cate knocked on the table. ” Shaun is having a cold, and I shall be kind.”
Harvey was speechless. “Chairwoman Cox, you’re in the mood to buy him medicine in spite of this crucial period, huh? Even after you guys get back together, it won’t be of use…”
“Hurry up and carry out the task.” Cate did not want to hear him rattle on. Lyons Corporation.
A supervisor walked out of the president’s office.
Hadley immediately went in while holding some packets of medicine. “President Lyons…”
After he handed Shaun the medicine, Shaun lifted his head from his laptop and glanced at them indifferently with a frown. “Why did you get me so much medicine? I’m not frail. There’s even peppermint tea, but I don’t have an upset stomach. Are you trying to feed me to death?”
Hadley explained with a smile, ” I wasn’t the one who bought these. It was Miss Cox who asked Secretary York to send these here.”
Shaun was momentarily stunned before his dark eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Yeah. Secretary York just sent them here. You— ” Hadley was about to ask him to pick the ones that would be helpful for his cold.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Shaun took the peppermint tea and downed it straight away.
After downing the peppermint tea, he gave a satisfied smile like how he looked when he was drinking it. “It tastes great.”
Hadley was dumbfounded.
What the f*ck?! He had never seen anyone else drink peppermint tea so quickly.
What was more, he just said that he did not have an upset stomach, so why did he bother drinking it?
Before Hadley came to his senses, Shaun had already opened a bottle of acyclovir oral suspension and took it with a few cold pills.
As Hadley watched him eat several kinds of medicine, he promptly said, “Eldest Young Master Lyons, you don’t have to take everything. There are ten types of medicine here. No one takes medication like what you’re doing.”
“Cate bought me these, and it’s her first time doing it. I must appreciate her kindness.” Shaun took every type of medicine just like that.
Hadley was completely at a loss for words. The man who was in love was just like a fool. After Hadley left, he could not help but call Cate. “Miss Cox, why did you buy so many kinds of medicine for Eldest Young Master Lyons? He took them all.”
“That’s great, isn’t it?” Cate said, “He can only recover soon by taking medicine.”
” .. No, the problem is he doesn’t have a fever or a stomach ache. He simply took everything such as the peppermint tea and fever reducers without thinking.”
Cate went silent. She did not know Harvey had bought so much medicine.
It seemed that she had forgotten to tell Harvey about Shaun’s symptoms. Harvey could not possibly have bought everything, right?
Even if the medications were bought and sent over, did Shaun just take everything without considering his symptoms?
Did he think he was eating candy?
Hadley laughed bitterly. “Please try to persuade Eldest Young Master Lyons. If he does this for the whole day, he’ll get sick from taking the medications even though he was fine before.”
“Is he a kid? Doesn’t he know how to look at the descriptions on the medications before taking them?” Cate said angrily.
“Because those medications were from you. It’s the equivalent of men giving women chocolates. As long as it’s from you, even peppermint tea would taste sweet, ” Hadley explained.
In the end, Cate dialed Shaun’s number.
“Cate, I’ve finished taking the medications you sent over to me. Thank you.”
Shaun’s tone was as gentle as the warm breeze in May. It made Cate a little embarrassed. As the person who gave the medications, had she been too half-hearted?
If something went wrong with his brain, she would have to take responsibility.
“No need to thank me. It’s a token of gratitude from me for the evidence you gave me this morning, ” Cate put on a bold face and said.
” So… those medications were a reward to thank m e?” Shaun’s tone lowered all of a sudden.
“Mm.”
Shaun immediately said, “Then I don’t want them. I’ll ask Hadley to refund them. The reward I want is a kiss. I can buy medications myself. And don’t tell me to press my upper lip and lower lip together. The feeling of kissing you is different.”
“Shaun, did the testosterones f*cking clog your brain?” Cate was exasperated because of him.
“No, I’m just dizzy from love. ” Shaun chuckled. As he had a cold, his throat was more hoarse.
Cate’s throat choked. “Fine, those medications don’t count, okay? I just want to remind you that you can’t simply take the medications. If you’re coughing, you should take the medicine for the cough. Why did you take the fever medicine and drink peppermint tea? Do you think you’re drinking Coke or having jelly beans?”
“Cate, I know that medications can’t be simply taken. But… it’s the first time you bought medicine for me. I didn’t expect that I could still receive this treatment in this lifetime. It feels like a dream.”
Shaun suddenly said, “When I take the medications you give me, my heart feels so sweet that it’s about to melt.”
“Enough.” Cate was almost defeated by Shaun. “I’ll buy a packet of jelly beans later and have it delivered to your place. At least it won’t be m y fault if you get a problem from eating jelly beans.”
She hung up after she finished speaking.
