“You should leave. I’ll deal with Rosabella and the person behind her back. I’ll destroy them.” There was a bloodthirsty coldness in Shaun’s eyes.
When the car arrived at the Lyons family’s manor, Shaun and Cate had not settled the problem yet.
Cate got down from the car and left first. She was slightly angry.
Shaun looked at her from behind for a while before he strode ahead and followed her.
When he reached the door, Valerie’s angry yelling came from the inside. “Cate, your cousin gave me a call. You’re the one who brought all these troubles. Lyons Corporation was investigated because of you too. Shaun hid the truth from us. If I were you, I’d put myself out there voluntarily so that Rosabella’s anger could quell and see if things could be settled peacefully. Anyway, you shouldn’t drag our Lyons family’s 1oo-year-old business down with you.”
Cate stood in the middle of the living room. Her straight back was trembling slightly.
Shaun found the scene unbearable to watch. ” Enough. This issue can’t be solved simply by putting Cate out there. Rebbeca is targeting me for throwing her into the mountains last time because I wanted to teach her a lesson. I didn’t expect her to escape. We don’t know who she has met overseas in the last few years too.”
“Anyway, if you didn’t meet Cate, we wouldn’t have offended Rosabella. Second Brother, don’t you think so?” Valerie asked Spencer.
Annoyance was written all over Spencer’s face. However, his wife, Yvette, stepped forward. Her eyes were bloodshot.
“I’m on Valerie’s side this time. I’ve really had enough. It seems like ever since Cate showed up, the Lyons family has never had a day of peace.
Willie’s illness still hasn’t improved either. If this goes on, will the Lyons family be able to pay for Willie’s medical fees one day?”
After she spoke, she turned around and looked toward Cate in agony. “I beg you to go find Rosabella and solve the problems between yourselves. Don’t get us involved in this. My son has already become a retard. If something happens to us, his parents, what should he do for the rest of his life?”
There was a lump in Cate’s throat.
Yvette’s words were like chains wrapping around her.
Was it her fault?
Perhaps she should not have gotten back together with Shaun.
“Enough, Aunt Yvette. I’ve said it before that even if I didn’t get back together with Cate, Rosabella would still come looking for me.” Shaun placed his long torso in front of Cate. His voice was tense with anger. ” If you’ve had enough, just leave. I’ll shoulder everything regarding Lyons Corporation.”
“How will you shoulder the responsibility? If we leave this place, besides some money we still have i n our hands, the most valuable asset we have is Lyons Corporation’s shares.” Yvette said angrily, “Unless we can sell the shares to Rosabella like the other shareholders.”
“Sister-in-law is right.” Valerie stepped up too.” I have 8 percent of the shares, and Rosabella has offered me 400 billion dollars. Mind you, this is a sky-high price.”
Seeing Valerie speaking up, Yvette raised her head too. “That’s right. This sum of money is enough for us to leave Australia and live without worry. We can look for skilled doctors overseas to treat Willie’s illness too.”
Shaun looked at his family members in utter disappointment. “So Rosabella has looked for you guys to sell your shares too.”
“She only came to us today.” Valerie said, “Besides, the other directors have called me too. We’re definitely not her opponent. If we keep the shares, maybe Lyons Corporation’s stock prices will depreciate next month. By then, our shares will be worthless. Selling them off now is the best timing.”
“Shut your mouth.” Old Master Lyons could no longer stand it and threw a cup at Valerie. “Did I give you the shares just to give it away? Do you know what situation Lyons Corporation will face if you sell the shares?”
Valerie avoided the cup frantically. She cried out, ” Dad, can you be more realistic? I’m still young. I still have Queenie to take care of. Even if I don’t sell the shares, Lyons Corporation won’t be able to hold on.”
“You… ” Old Master Lyons’s fingers trembled out of anger. Finally, he looked toward his son, who had been keeping his head low. “Spencer, what do you think?”
“Dad, I just want more money. Actually, with the high price they have offered, we can take that money and establish another Lyons Corporation overseas…” Spencer stammered.
“You unfilial son, do you know they’re buying the shares just to humiliate the Lyons family? Are you willing to throw away your pride and dignity for the sake of money” Old Master Lyons rapped the walking stick on the floor agitatedly.
“Grandpa.” Shaun walked forward and patted the agitated Old Master Lyons’s back. “Just let them be. Second Uncle and Aunt Valerie have their own family and kids. Everyone has their own choices.”
Valerie and Spencer both let out a sigh of relief when they saw Shaun agreeing. However, Valerie still muttered discontentedly, “We didn’t want to sell the shares at first, but we were forced to. Why did Shaun and Cate have to offend such powerful people?”
“Get lost.” Old Master Lyons desperately wanted to hit her to death with his walking stick. “Since you’ve sold the Lyons family’s properties, don’t ever come back.”
“Dad, why don’t you and Mom leave with us?” Spencer said hesitantly.
“I’d rather hit my head and die than leave with you who sold your ancestors’ properties, ” Old Master Lyons said furiously.
Lea did not say a word from the beginning until the end as she sat on the chair. She still had not fully recovered from her injuries the last time. After the two people left, she said, “Shaun, what are you planning to do?”
“I’ve discussed this with cathy. You and Cate can take Grandpa, Granny, and the children to settle down at Country Y. I’ll go over after taking care of the things here,” Shaun explained the arrangements calmly.
Cate glanced at Shaun with mixed feelings.
Other people might not know what he was thinking, but she could see through him with just a glance.
“I can’t believe the Lyons family has ended up in tatters.” Old Master Lyons let out a long sigh.
Old Madam Lyons consoled him, “Why haven’t you got over it? It’s fine as long as everyone is still alive.”
During dinner, the two children had just come back from preschool.
Lea suddenly called them to her. “Suzie, Lucas, are you both willing to come with us to Country Y and live there?”
“Why do we suddenly have to leave?” Suzie was confused. “Where is Country Y? Is it very far?”
“It’s quite far.” Shaun said gently, “It’s where your grandpa lives. The scenery there is very picturesque.”
“Will sc*mmy dad and Mom go too?” Lucas asked nervously.
Shaun patted his head. His eyes were downcast. “We will.”
“That’s fine then.” Suzie smiled brightly upon hearing that. “As long as our family is together, going anywhere is fine.”
Cate gripped her fork tightly.
After the children fell asleep at night, Shaun came out of the bathroom from his shower, only to see the woman standing in front of the French windows. She was wearing white pajamas, and her long hair rested on her shoulders like silk. She exuded soft and fresh fragrance.
“Are you waiting for me…” Shaun walked over and extended his hands to hug her.
However, Cate pushed him away. ” Shaun, if you don’t leave with me, I’ll break up with you tonight.”
Shaun pretended not to hear her as he continued to walk over and hug her.
However, Cate kept pushing, and both of them continued to shove each other in the dark.
In the end, the man was still stronger. As soon as Shaun pulled her into his embrace, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
“Mm… Shaun, I’m not… joking.” Cate kept avoiding him. Finally, with much difficulty, she blocked his face with her hand.
“Cate, if I don’t stay behind to finish off Rosabella and the person behind her, do you think Rosabella won’t chase after you once you’ve escaped overseas with the children?”
Shaun said with a hoarse voice, “I’ve discussed this with Nathan a few days ago. The force behind Rosabella isn’t too influential in Australia. However, we’re stepping into their territory if we go overseas. Even with my dad protecting you guys, squashing all of you will be as easy as squashing an ant for them. That’s why I must eliminate them in Australia. Do you understand?” Cate was taken aback.
She understood.
Was that why Shaun wanted to use himself in exchange for her and the children’s safety?
“Then I’ll stay behind. You leave.” Cate choked softly, “I won’t help you to take care of your grandparents and parents. I’ve been taking care of the children alone for the past few years. You haven’t even fulfilled your responsibilities as a father…”
“Cate, listen to me. Compared to me, the children need you more.” Shaun cupped her small face.
Cate could not see him clearly at all as her eyes were filled with tears. “Your aunt is right. I shouldn’t have come to the Lyons family. You shouldn’t have met me too…”
“Don’t say that, Cate. Regarding Rosabella, I’ve never once regretted doing those things I did. From the start, she was the one hurting you. She hurt your granny and Charity. People like that deserve it for the sins they have done.” Shaun interrupted her firmly.
Cate was about to break down. “Why is this world so unfair? She’s so evil, yet someone is still helping her like a lunatic. What exactly did we do wrong?”
Shaun looked bitter. “Cate, listen to me. I’ve hurt you so much in the past. There’s no need to deprive the children and yourself of your future for me.”
After he spoke, he kissed her hard. It was as if that was their last kiss.
However, Cate did not push Shaun away anymore. Instead, she hugged him tight.
He carried her to the bed.
On the bed, their silhouettes tangled with each other tightly like vines.
