Dumbfounded, Shaun turned around and stared at Cate. Her behavior made his blood boil again. “Cate, can’t you understand human language?”
“I understand. You mean to say that you can’t possibly break up with Melanie, right?” A bitter smile flitted across Cate’s face. If that was the case, she should not get together with him either.
Shaun was at a loss for words.
This woman was usually quite intelligent. What had happened to her brain now?
He could not be bothered about her. He immediately hit the accelerator and sped the entire way.
“What are you doing? Let me get out.” No matter how Cate screamed, Shaun continued to ignore her.
The car traveled straight to Oasis International. Shaun dragged her upstairs and pushed her toward the couch. Boiling with rage, he said, “Cate, you want me to make things clearer, right? I want you to break up with Wesley right away. You’re allowed to be pregnant with my child. If you’re pregnant, I’ll break up with Melanie.”
Cate widened her eyes. She acted as if she had been struck by lightning. For a long time, she remained rooted to the spot.
Shaun took off his suit and tossed the clothes on the ground. He placed his hands against the back of the couch and trapped her as he loomed his chest over her body. “Cate, you’re toxic. This is my limit and also your only chance.”
Cate was taken aback, and her mind was buzzing.
She could not get her head around his motive, considering that he strongly hated her and had even found her filthy back then.
Now, he would break up with Melanie as long as she was pregnant with his child?
Was it because he still had feelings for her…?
Her heart began to thump. At that point, she did feel moved. However, she was already well aware of the brutal tactics adopted by the Wicks family. It was more than likely that Sheryl’s death was associated with the Wicks family.
What was more, since Fergus had attempted to hurt her once, it was possible that he would do it again.
The only shortcut to prevent that from happening was to rely on Shaun.
Upon noticing her startled expression, Shaun carried her and walked up to the bedroom. After placing her on the bed, he swiftly pressed on her and kissed her.
Cate soon came to her senses and pushed him away. “No way. I can’t do this.”
The burning atmosphere froze all of a sudden.
Shaun glared at her with red eyes. “Why?”
Cate’s heart ached, and she averted her eyes. “I’m Wesley’s fiancée. Given that he has sacrificed so much for me, I can’t hurt him. Even though I want to take revenge, I don’t want to be a tool for revenge.”
“…”
Shaun’s blood slowly became icy. He stared at her grimly for what seemed like an eternity. All of a sudden, he gave a weak laugh.
“Get lost.” He suddenly pushed her to the floor with an air of hostility emanating from his handsome face.
Holding back her tears, Cate quickly put on her clothes and crawled out of the room.
“Cate, this is the last chance I’m giving you. You’ll regret it.” Shaun stared at him like a devil.
After shuddering, Cate left Oasis International without turning her head around.
She returned to the Yule household with unease, only to discover that all the things in her room had been thrown out and were scattered on the grass.
Nicola and Melanie stood at the door complacently. “Bring your things along and get lost. You’re not welcome here.”
Cate clenched her fists. “This is my dad’s house. You don’t have the right to kick me out.”
“What a joke. I’m Joel’s legitimate wife. This house partially belongs to me. You can’t continue staying here without my approval.”
Nicola showed an arrogant expression. “You thought you could make Joel divorce me because of that little accident? Dream on.”
Cate took out her phone to call Joel. The call was connected, but nobody answered it.
“Stop calling. Old Master Yule is keeping him occupied at the moment,” Nicola mocked, “Can’t you see? Old Master Yule approves the idea of kicking you out as well, so there’s nothing Joel can do about it.”
“Did you hear it? Hurry up and get lost, then.” Melanie even kicked her clothes that had dropped on the ground.
Stifling her anger, Cate lowered her head and stuffed her clothes into her suitcase one by one.
Only she knew how furious she was deep down.
She would pay them back for humiliating her sooner or later.
However, before Cate could keep all her clothes, Melanie took some dirty water and splashed it on her straight away. Her clothes were completely drenched.
“Oops, sorry. I was just planning to dump the dirty water away.”
When Melanie was gloating at her situation, Cate scoffed. “You’re now acting complacently just because you have the Lyons family’s support. But have you ever thought that Shaun might abandon you someday?”
Melanie’s expression changed drastically. “What are you bullsh*tting? Elder Young Master Lyons is going to marry me soon.”
“Hopefully.”
Cate bit her lip sarcastically. Considering that Shaun had expressed his intention to get back together with her just now, she thought that he did not really have feelings for Melanie.
As soon as Cate finished speaking, she brought her things along and left without giving Nicola and Melanie the chance to continue teasing her.
Having no place to stay in Canberra, she had no choice but to stay in a nearby five-star hotel.
At night, Joel hurriedly gave her a call. “Cate, why did you move out?”
“Dad, don’t you know that I got kicked out?”
“What?” Joel flew into a fury. “Damn, Nicola is such a b*tch! I’m going to deal with her. Where are you? Let me go and pick you up now.”
“No need. I’ll stay outside for the time being,” Cate replied helplessly, “Now that Nicola and Melanie have Elder Young Master Lyons backing them up, I’m afraid they won’t care about you. What’s more, Grandpa is taking their side as well. If I return home, I’ll get bullied instead.”
Joel kept blaming himself. “How useless of me to leave you suffering, Cate.”
“No worries, Dad. This is just temporary. I believe everything will be fine,” Cate answered dejectedly while gazing out of the window.
The next day.
After being woken up by her phone, Cate rushed to the meeting room in the office.
General Manager Wolfe said anxiously, “Chairwoman Cox, although the plot of land along the coast has been approved, we have issues with the license for starting a business there.”
“Did you try pulling some strings?” Cate rubbed her brows.
“Yes, but it has proved fruitless. They had previously agreed to it.” General Manager Wolfe forced a smile. “But they suddenly changed their minds. They said there’s a conflict over our land and the plot of land beside ours.”
Manager Long from the engineering department asked, “Have we offended anyone in Canberra, Chairwoman Cox?”
Cate pursed her thin lips. She recalled the way Shaun had spoken when she left yesterday. Was it his doing?
General Manager Wolfe said, “We’ve spent 50 billion dollars on this plot of land. If we don’t get our project started as soon as possible, our capital chain will break and our company will be left high and dry. If that’s the case, you and the other directors might run the risk of going to jail.”
“I’ll find a way out,” Cate hesitated before she replied.
After the meeting ended, she went to the office to call Shaun only to discover that he had blocked her number.
She gave a bitter laugh. Apparently, she had offended him.
She had no choice but to ask Joel for help. After Joel enquired about the matter, he found it strange. “Cate, who did you offend? Even I failed to help you this time. I’m sure this isn’t the Wicks family’s doing.”
“I have no idea who I’ve offended either. Let me try and recall.”
Cate ended the call in a daze. She did not intend to ask Joel to invest in the company to solve the working capital issue. After all, the company was not solely Joel’s. Investing over tens of billions of dollars would require Old Master Yule’s approval. Anyway, Old Master Yule would definitely reject the request.
