“I thought you were worried that I’d take the Yule family’s inheritance.” Cate smiled faintly.
“You’re just a country bumpkin.” Melanie looked like she heard a joke. She turned to Shaun and said, “Eldest Young Master Lyons, don’t you think she’s too indulgent in her fantasies? I’ve never attached any importance to her. Not only is she uneducated, but she’s also just a country bumpkin who has no idea what the world is like.”
Shaun gave her a sideways glance. If he did not know Cate, he would have agreed with Melanie’s words, but Cate was clearly a graduate from one of the finest institutes abroad. She even won awards in architecture and interior design. She was much better than Melanie, the precious daughter of the Yule family who had wasted her parents’ money by studying abroad.
However, Melanie had not realized that compared to Cate, she simply appeared short-sighted and stupid. Cate was dressed in an ordinary light purple down jacket today. With her bright eyes, white teeth, and pure features, Shaun felt that he must have been blind before to compare Melanie to Cate.
“Yes, I’m just a country bumpkin, while you’re the bright moon hanging in the sky. I wouldn’t dare compare to you.” Cate’s smile was calm and indifferent, like a white lily.
“It’s good that you know.” Melanie smiled with an arrogant expression.
“Enough, go in…”
Shaun only felt embarrassed and turned to enter.
Melanie hurried after him.
Only then did Cate leave and get into the car.
…
In the dining hall, there was a table full of delicious foods.
Melanie attentively placed food on Shaun’s plate, but the more Shaun looked at her, the more unsightly she seemed. He got up and said, “I have no appetite. I’m leaving.”
“Eldest Young Master…” Melanie was at a loss. “Did I do something wrong?”
“What do you think? Don’t follow me,” Shaun sneered sarcastically and turned away without looking back.
Melanie watched his tall and upright figure leave. She was so anxious that tears fell from her eyes.
“What happened?” Nicola hurried over.
“Mom, I don’t know either.” Melanie thought about it before telling the story of how she had run into Cate at the door earlier.
“You idiot!” Nicola scolded her, “Cate was accepted to a world-class famous university when she was just 16 years old, and she’s always skipped grades. She also won several prestigious awards in architecture and interior design. She was the top scorer in her senior high school year and graduated from a world-class famous university. She’s completely different from someone like you who used money to buy your diploma.”
Melanie was completely stunned. Thinking back to what she had said earlier, she only felt extremely humiliated now. “But Eldest Young Master Lyons wouldn’t have known all that, right?”
“Who knows? Eldest Young Master Lyons is well informed. Maybe he has already investigated everything there is to know about our family before you got together with him.” Nicola looked grim. “I also found out that Cate isn’t so simple. It has only been two months since she took over Hudson, but she already has all the executives wrapped around her finger.”
“Then… What should I do?” Melanie was pale.
“Stay out of her business. I’ll handle her. You just have to play your part as a well-bred young lady from a prestigious family.” Nicola was having a headache. It was her fault for not educating her daughter well. Melanie did not have even half of the skills she had when she was young.
…
The next few days, Cate went out early and came back late. She never stumbled into Shaun after that incident.
On this day, she made an appointment with Mireya in Canberra.
She met Mireya in the afternoon.
The two met in a foreign place, and Mireya took her to a high-end restaurant to eat.
“I was also introduced to this place by a colleague. The caviar here is very good. It’s very expensive, but I can still afford to treat you.” Mireya was very happy that the two could reunite again at the capital.
After ordering, Cate looked at Mireya carefully. Although she had lost some weight, she still looked good. “Are you doing well?”
“Quite. The company treats me well and will even arrange for me to study abroad in the second half of the year.” Mireya bowed her head and stirred her coffee. “Has… Patrick contacted you?”
“No.”
Mireya smiled bitterly. “Maybe he’s glad to have finally gotten rid of me.”
“Stop thinking about him. Aren’t there many handsome men in Canberra? Look, there’s one at the door right now. He’s looking at you.”
Cate looked behind Mireya and jerked her chin.
Mireya glanced over just in time to see a man turning around. He was wearing an expensive black leather coat, and his long legs were comparable to a model’s. Two people were following after him like lap dogs.
“Is he that handsome? You’re exaggerating.”
Cate blinked. “I’m not. He can even be compared to Shaun Lyons.”
“That means he really is quite handsome.” Mireya laughed. Although she was not in a good mood after just falling out of love, that did not stop her from appreciating handsome men.
…
Upstairs, in the room.
The general manager of Osher Corporation carefully poured wine for Rodney Snow and made guesses from the expression on the man’s face. “President Snow, the woman in the beige sweater you were looking at the door earlier is our company’s newly hired senior cosmetic chemist, Mireya Lynch.”
“Oh, so she belongs to our company?”
A touch of playfulness flashed across his lips. “Then the one who was sitting opposite her must be her friend.”
“Yes.”
Rodney fiddled with the wine glass in his hand. “I know where I’m going later. Think of a way to invite Mireya Lynch and her friend.”
The general manager felt troubled. “President Snow, Mireya Lynch is a rare talent…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t give her a hard time. It’s just that her friend bullied my friend before,” Rodney said faintly, “Be careful not to alert them.”
…
8:30 p.m.
Cate and Mireya chatted for a long time and prepared to go to the cinema when Mireya suddenly received a call from her company’s general manager. “Look at the cosmetic recipe now…? Okay… I’ll come over later.”
“You’re leaving me behind?” Cate raised her brows.
“I can’t help it. The general manager said that President Snow came to the company for an inspection today, and they just so happened to talk about that new beauty product I’m researching. He wants me to go report to President Snow now.” Mireya felt like her head was going to explode. “President Snow isn’t someone a person like me can afford to mess with. The Snow family is one of the top four in Canberra. Anyway, they’re as terrifying as the Lyons family.”
Cate was speechless. “Why do I feel like the capital is full of big shots?”
“Exactly. The Lynch family can be considered influential in Melbourne, but to the people in Canberra, we’re just country bumpkins.” Mireya shrugged. “You go back first.”
“Will you be fine? Do you want me to accompany you?”
“No. Even if something happens, I can’t drag you into it. I’ve already dragged you through enough.” Mireya waved her hand and hurriedly left.
…
11:00 p.m.
“Is this Ms. Cox? Your friend is drunk. Please come and pick her up.
“Who is this…?”
“I’m the general manager of her company.”
