Filed to story: Revenge Marriage Sweet Love Novel Read Free Online

Shaun flew into a rage. “Cate, you get a lot of pleasure from acting, huh? I’m warning you now, get out of Canberra right away. I’m disgusted by your face.”

He casually uttered every word that felt like a knife cutting her flesh.

The more it hurt Cate, the more brightly she smiled. “I’m afraid you don’t have the right to decide this, Elder Young Master Lyons. After all, you’re not the prime minister of Australia.”

“Are you under the impression that I don’t know the prime minister?” Shaun laughed wildly. “It’s an easy task anyway.”

Cate was momentarily stunned, and her brows furrowed. “Why should I leave? Since you find me disgusting, that’s your problem. It has nothing to do with me. I’m not actually disgusting, I just enjoy my food.”

“…”

How Shaun wished to tear her thick face apart. Back then, he was tricked by her all because of that face.

“Elder Young Master Lyons, have you gone to the bathroom yet? What are you guys doing here?”

Melanie came in after finishing her food swiftly. She saw Shaun and Cate chatting upon walking over. As both of them were dressed in gray clothes, they looked like a couple in their matching outfits.

She quickly clutched Shaun’s arm, acting as if she was afraid that her man would be snatched away.

Shaun raised his brows, his eyes flashing with grimness. He then gave a smile. “I wanted to go to the bathroom, but she stopped me and tried to seduce me.”

“What?” Melanie was so furious that her eyes nearly popped out of her head. “Cate, you’re as shameless as your mom!”

Cate glanced at Shaun incredulously, only to find him smiling. It soon turned to a somber expression as he waited to watch the drama unfold.

She gritted her teeth. What a wicked man he was! “Excuse me, I’m a few months older than you. Clearly, my mom got together with my dad much earlier. Please watch your mouth. Also, I didn’t seduce him.”

“Hah, are you saying that Elder Young Master Lyons is playing a joke on you?” Melanie criticized Cate in a huff. “Just look at Elder Young Master Lyons’s status. He’s a prominent figure whereas you’re just a cheap person. I’ve met a lot of b*stards like you who are of low rank yet ambitious.”

Cate lowered her eyes, her lashes shaking slightly.

Shaun frowned in spite of himself. He was suddenly annoyed even though he was the one who wanted to pull a prank on Cate.

Previously, he could not form an impression of Melanie. Right now, however, he only felt that she was irritating and ill-mannered. She did not behave like a young lady from an eminent family at all.

“What are you guys arguing about?”

Joel and Nicola walked in upon noticing the commotion.

“Dad, Mom, you guys came at the right time. Cate was actually trying to seduce Young Master Lyons,” Melanie immediately complained, “Mom, she even mocked you by calling you a mistress.”

Nicola’s expression changed drastically in an instant. The reason why Joel married her back then was a taboo subject for her. “You’ve gone too far, Cate. I’ve been treating you quite well since you came back. I even deliberately bought you branded clothes which you’re wearing right now. That’s very ungrateful of you.”

Joel’s brows furrowed. “Could there be a misunderstanding…”

“What misunderstanding? Elder Young Master Lyons said it himself.” Melanie stomped her feet. “Despite having a fiancé, she still behaves indecently. How shameless!”

“Fiancé?” Shaun asked with a smile. Only those who knew him well could feel the hostility in his gaze.

“Yeah. She has a fiancé in Melbourne,” Nicola quickly added, “Anyway, the man is merely the owner of a small listed company. He pales compared to you.”

“Really?” Shaun smiled weakly. He had only left Melbourne for half a month, yet she already had a fiancé.

Without having to guess, he was almost certain that the person was Wesley.

When he recalled the moment he almost became soft-hearted just now, he suddenly found himself extremely foolish.

The woman was far more brazen than he had imagined.

“They say the Yule family is strict, but what happened tonight is eye-opening for me.”

Shaun snorted. After he finished speaking, he headed to the door. When he walked past Joel, he paused for a moment before saying, “Uncle Yule, I’m going to leave first. Today… I’m really not in the mood to stay here anymore.”

With that, he strode out of the house.

“Wait for me, Elder Young Master Lyons.”

Melanie went after Shaun.

A ray of warm light illuminated Cate’s face while she stood in the kitchen, revealing her pale face.

Cate had just arrived at the Yule household and had yet to settle into the family. Nevertheless, Shaun’s words had casually pushed her into the abyss.

“Look what you did!” Nicola was shaking from anger. “Joel, you’re the one who wanted to bring her home, but she’s here to steal her sister’s boyfriend. Now that we’ve offended Young Master Lyons, I advise you to quickly send her away. We shouldn’t provoke Elder Young Master Lyons and cause him to be upset with us anymore.”

“Enough. Cate is my daughter, and I’ve owed her for over 20 years. This is my house and also my home. She can stay here however long she wants. If the two of you are not happy about it, you can move out,” Joel replied mercilessly.

Nicola’s face flushed with rage. At last, she glared at Cate before she walked away. “Fine. If there are any changes to Melanie’s marriage arrangements, I won’t let her off the hook.”

As soon as Nicola finished speaking, she left in a huff.

“Dad, I didn’t seduce Young Master Lyons,” Cate said seriously. She did not care about how others viewed her, but if Joel believed in what the others said, she would be really disappointed in him.

Joel let out a sigh. “I believe you. Young Master Lyons probably misunderstood that you’re an illegitimate child, which is why he holds a grudge against you.”

Cate was slightly dazed. Joel then explained it to her, “Young Master Lyons’s background is quite pitiful. His mother, Lea, was a golden girl who was intelligent from a young age. It was why she could stand out even as a woman and inherit Lyons Corporation. Back then, a lot of people in Canberra wanted to marry Lea, yet Brennan schemed against her and soon got her pregnant. With that, she had no choice but to get married to him.”

Cate was shocked. No wonder he had been so upset when she spiked his food previously. He was particularly sensitive to this matter due to the fact that he was born this way as well!

Joel continued, “Elder Young Master Lyons’s arrival to the world was an unwelcome experience for Lea. Lea also strongly dislikes him. Shortly afterward, she divorced Brennan and got married to her former lover whom she met in college. Then, she gave birth to another son named Liam.”

“It turns out that… he has been so pitiful since young,” Cate muttered with conflicted emotions.

“Yeah. After the divorce, Brennan has been getting himself drunk every day. Lea, on the other hand, has formed a new family. She treats Liam with deep affection. In Shaun’s eyes, Liam and his father are intruders as they ruined his family. That’s why he also hates you.”

Joel touched her head sentimentally. “Sorry, Cate. Forgive me for making you suffer…”

“It’s not your fault, Dad.”

She was the cause of Shaun’s resentment.

“Dad, I think I should move out first. Otherwise, Aunty Nicola and Melanie will definitely kick up a fuss.” Cate initially planned to stay here and sort things out with Nicola face-to-face. Nevertheless, she really did not feel like seeing her ex behaving intimately with her stepsister.

“No way. Now that you have finally returned, I have to care for you and keep you under my watch.” Joel was worried that he could not care for her well if she moved out alone. He then added, “This is our personal family matter. Worst comes to the worst and Elder Young Master Lyons isn’t happy about it, we’ll cancel the marriage plan with the Lyons family.”

Cate was touched and filled with warmth deep down. How wonderful it was to have a father who believed in her unconditionally.

The next morning.

Knowing she was not welcome, Cate deliberately got up early. After washing up, she headed to the office. Just as she was about to step out of the house, she caught sight of Melanie and Shaun walking toward her in the morning sunshine while holding hands. The good-looking pair looked like a wonderful match.

She felt that her eyes hurt. Had they already become so intimate that they were going to have breakfast together?

She lowered her head and quickened her pace toward the spot where the driver parked the car.

“Stand there, Miss Cox. After last night’s incident, you still haven’t learned to be polite, huh?” Shaun stopped her, his handsome face expressing a hint of mockery as usual.

When Cate recalled what Joel had told her about Shaun’s background, she did not bother to argue with him. “I just think that a low-born person like me isn’t qualified to greet you. What’s more, I’m getting ready to head to the office.”

“Office?” Melanie’s eyes twitched. She blurted out, “Are you going to work in Yule Corporation?”

“No. My mom left a small company for me.” Cate gave a discreet smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t step into Yule Corporation.”

Her bright and sharp eyes appeared to be able to see through people. Melanie snorted awkwardly, “Of course, I’m worried. You don’t know anything. I’m just afraid you’ll mess up our company if you work there.”
