Furthermore, she looked so cute when she was blushing. It gave him an overwhelming urge to pull her into his arms and kiss her however he wished.
Nevertheless, he held back at the thought that he was still not powerful enough.
“Mm.” Shaun asked with a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”
What did that mean? Could she not casually look for him?
When Cate observed his expression carefully, she noticed his deep -set eyes were infinitely dark. She could already sense his increasing indifference after two days.
This realization ached her heart. All of a sudden, it dawned on her that she preferred the previous Shaun who was silly compared to the current version of him.
However, since she had made it clear, it would be pointless to dwell on it.
“Uncle Titus gave me a call and told me Sheryl had escaped.”
Cate told Shaun their analysis on the issue. “If Sheryl withdraws the charge, things will be troublesome when Rosabella’s shares go to Jeffery or herself.”
“I know.”
Shaun nodded, his handsome, calm face was giving nothing away. “It’s late. You should sleep early with Lucas and Suzie.”
Was he tacitly kicking her out again?
Cate was inexplicably sulky. “You might not know how serious this issue is. You’ll be brought down again regardless of whether Jeffery or Sheryl obtains the shares…”
“Lyons Corporation has nothing to do with you.” At the sight of her worried expression, Shaun could not help but interrupt her. “You don’t have to worry so much.”
Dumbfounded, Cate felt as if her chest was punched. She was so furious that she said reluctantly, “Do you think I want to worry about it? I couldn’t help but feel that you offended Rosabella and Sheryl all because of me. I think I’m responsible for it…”
“You’re not responsible for it. With Lyons Corporation’s might, even if Rosabella and Wesley hadn’t been eyeing it, other people would’ve done the same. Hostile takeovers are commonplace in all parts of the world. Since I failed to secure Lyons Corporation earlier, it means that I wasn’t capable enough and that the Lyonss weren’t united.”
Shaun’s brows furrowed. “As a business powerhouse, I should be mighty enough to go through all the ups and downs. If I lose, it just shows that I’m incapable. Even if I don’t lose Wesley today, I would’ve lost to someone else the next day. You don’t have to feel guilty, nor take the responsibility for Lyons Corporation and the Lyons family.”
For a long while, Cate was silent. His words left her speechless.
In fact, what Shaun said made sense. Given his head injury and lack of experience, how could he possibly deal with the lunatic Sheryl and Wesley?
“But…”
She finally said something.
“Cate, you’re exhausted because you always take responsibility for everything. I asked you to be my girlfriend back then, but I’m not planning on marrying you. You need to be selfish, ” Shaun said all of a sudden.
Cate was stunned. After a while, she chuckled. “I got it. I won’t be a busybody anymore.”
Shaun frowned. He did not mean to blame her for being a busybody. Rather, he did not want her to exhaust herself. “Cate, you should learn to trust me.”
“Mm. I’ll try.”
Cate nodded perfunctorily.
She turned around and walked back to her room.
She wished she could trust him too but after all, he had just stepped into the business world. Besides, the professor had still been giving him business lessons these few days.
Regardless of his capability, how would he be able to solve the crisis this time?
Fine. She did not want to poke her nose into his business anymore.
He was right. After all, Lyons Corporation was not her company.
What did it have to do with her?
As he watched Cate leave, Shaun furrowed his brows sympathetically.
He was aware that his remarks might have sounded nasty, which had slightly hurt her, but he had no right to talk about relationships until the issue with Lyons Corporation was solved.
He made a call when entered his room, “Elle, when are you coming back?”
“Tomorrow morning, Young Master Lyons. It’s starting to take shape.”
“Alright.”
The next day. In the evening.
After a long day, Sonya returned to her high-end duplex apartment feeling weary.
As the apartment was situated downtown, every inch of land was worth a fortune. A lot of people greatly admired the bustle of the city.
However, no one knew the pain she was suffering deep down. When she returned to the apartment, she was engulfed in aloneness.
When she switched on the lights today, she caught sight of a tall figure seated in the living room. She screamed in fear.
“Calm down, Mrs. Sanderson.”
The man sounded hoarse and cool as if he was the owner of this place. He exuded a sense of nobility and authority.
Sonya took a deep breath before she went completely silent.
She stared at the man in front, who was wearing a black T-shirt and a pair of long black pants. His broad shoulders and long legs made up his perfect body. With his strikingly handsome face, she would never ever forget it.
Shaun Lyons!
The person who used to be the most respectable and successful man in Australia.
However, she heard he had become a fool. With his current demeanor… Was he a fool?
She somehow felt that he was scarier than before.
“You… Why are you in my apartment?” Sonya struggled to speak. ” I know you’re fighting with Wesley. Are you thinking of holding me hostage? Dream on. My brother is capable of anything to achieve his goals. Even if you were to kill me, he won’t give in.”
“It seems like you understand your brother very well. That’s good. ” Shaun’s thin lips curled into a smile. Then, he adjusted his posture to make himself comfortable.
Sonya was stunned. She shuddered and looked around to check if there was anyone else in her apartment so that she could flee.
“Don’t worry. I’m not planning on holding you hostage since you’re nothing to Wesley. Even if I kidnap his parents, he won’t bat an eyelash. After all, he could go as far as hurting his biological nephew.”
Shaun’s indifferent voice resembled a thorn that pricked Sonya’s chest.
Her eyes suddenly reddened.
“Don’t you wish to avenge your son?” Shaun looked at her.
“Of course, I do. But you don’t think about taking advantage of me. Earlier, Cate said Wesley was the one who caused Nathan’s death. Despite a long investigation into the matter, I still can’t find any evidence regarding that,” Sonya said furiously.
“What if I have evidence indicating his motive?”
After Shaun tossed his phone to her, Sonya saw a video in it. She tapped to play, and a woman appeared… It was Wesley’s secretary, Regina. Later, Cate even exposed the video of Wesley and Regina messing around in the office.
When she played the video, Regina was seen speaking in fear, ” I… I’m not sure if Nathan’s death has to do with Wesley. All I know is that Nathan caught Wesley and me messing around in the office the other day. At that time, Wesley and Cate had just gotten married. At the sight of the scene, Nathan had a row with Wesley before he left. But a few hours later, I heard he died in an accident.
Unexpectedly, it happened when he was on his way to Cate’s office…”
Regina’s words sent a chill down Sonya’s spine. “This… This is impossible. ” Sonya shook her head. Her eyes were red with venomous hatred. “You coerced her into saying that, didn’t you?”
“When their love affair was exposed, Wesley’s reputation was tarnished while Regina was sent overseas. Indeed, it took me quite an effort to hunt her down.”
Shaun gestured to Sonya with his chin. “Watch the next video.”
Trembling, Sonya scrolled the screen. It turned out to be a video featuring Regina again. “The car which Nathan drove during the accident was some high- end smart car invented by another country. Wesley seemed to be acquainted with a top executive of the car company. I even accompanied Wesley and the top executive for a meal in the States the year before last. I have… Their photo here. They were having karaoke at a clubhouse at that time.”
Sonya tapped open the album. There was a photo of Wesley and a middle-aged male foreigner.
