“…”

Cate was speechless. Was Chester too free? Why did he always come to look for her when she came to the hospital?

Honestly, she was now very disgusted by Shaun and did not have a good impression of his friends either. Birds of a feather flock together. His friends were definitely not good people either.

After her wounds were treated, Cate said helplessly, “Doctor Jewell, go back to work. I’m leaving soon too.”

“Don’t be so polite. I’m not that much older than you.” Chester grinned. “Besides, you’ll be married to Shaun sooner or later. You’ll be my sister-in-law in the future.”

Those words only sounded sarcastic in Cate’s ears. “You’ve got the wrong person. You should be saying that to Melanie Yule.”

“Melanie Yule?” Chester looked at her indifferent figure and tsked in his heart. Shaun was really useless to have pushed away such a good woman. It was up to him to help Shaun. “You don’t know this, but Shaun doesn’t like Melanie Yule at all. He was even removed from his position as president of Lyons Corporation in order to marry you.”

Cate was stunned for a while.

Shaun was no longer the president of Lyons Corporation?

How could that be?

“Haven’t you seen the news on your phone?” Chester walked over to her. “It’s today’s most sensational news. The whole net is talking about it.”

Cate was lost in thought for a moment. She knew that Chester would not lie to her, but she did not think that Shaun was dismissed because he wanted to marry her.

“That’s very normal. His conduct was improper. He had a girlfriend but still forcefully snatched his girlfriend’s elder sister as well. He couldn’t even control the lower half of his body and screwed up the charity dinner held by the Lyons family. After he’s done such despicable acts, of course, he’ll be removed from his position.”

Chester froze.

A moment later, instead of being angry because his friend was scolded, he laughed happily. “Your evaluation is spot-on. Shaun is indeed despicable and has a horrible character.”

Cate frowned, puzzled by his laughter. “Is that funny?”

“It’s funny.” Chester curled his thin lips. “But some of what you said isn’t right. That night after Shaun sent Granny Lyons to the hospital, the Lyons family quarreled. Old Master Lyons said that as long as Shaun got married to Melanie Yule, they would lay the matter to rest, but Shaun refused and said that he wanted to marry you, which angered the old master.”

“Marry me?” Cate showed a look of disbelief.

Chester looked at her meaningfully. “Half of what Lyons Corporation is now was built up by Shaun himself. Playing around with women is nothing new for big shots, so the old master wouldn’t remove him because of that. Shaun’s mistake was that he was being serious, which completely angered the old master.

…

When coming out of the hospital, Cate seemed to be in a trance.

She had always thought that Shaun kept her to be a lover who would never see the light of day. She was like a puppet whom he did not love.

However, now she heard from his friend that Shaun was dismissed from his post in order to marry her.

The president of Lyons Corporation… It was a position that placed a person above 10,000 others.

It was a position people from all over the country looked up to.

Now, he had fallen from the altar.

Would the Lyons Corporation that had lost Shaun Lyons be the same as before?

Just as she got in the car, Joel suddenly called her. “Cate, are you free? Let’s meet up.”

“…Okay.” Cate knew that some things were unavoidable.

40 minutes later, after arriving at the tea house they agreed to meet at, Joel had already finished a pot of tea.

The pair of father and daughter sitting together had never been so awkward before.

In the end, it was still Joel who broke the silence. “Does your face still hurt?”

The few words of concern almost brought Cate to tears. After all, he was truly her only relative left in the world. “I’m fine.”

“Nicola and Melanie were too angry last night. Never mind them, even I was shocked…”

Joel smiled bitterly. “Cate, I know that Melanie and the others went to the company in the morning to cause trouble for you. Could you talk to Shaun Lyons and let him release them?”

Cate only felt a cold chill in her heart. “Dad, Melanie brought her uncle and friends to my company to smash our property and tried to beat me up. If the police had not arrived in time, it’s likely that I’d be lying in the hospital now. It’s not like you don’t know Fergus Wicks’ methods.”

“But…” Joel hesitated. “What happened at the dinner party… She was indeed a victim. Anyone would be angry.”

Cate looked at her father and suddenly felt a chill. “Dad, do you think I stole Shaun Lyons as well?”

“Cate, I don’t want you to ruin your own happiness to get revenge on Nicola and Melanie,” Joel said painfully.

A pitiful smile crept up on Cate’s face. “So that’s what you think of me. Dad, have you ever loved me and tried to understand me? To be frank, I’ve long since known Shaun. He’s the one who forced me to be with him. Recently, he’s been suppressing my company and Wesley. It’s all his doing. Do you think I enjoy living a life without dignity? Do you think I enjoy being pointed at and criticized as a b*stard?!”

As she went on, she eventually choked with tears.

Joel was dazed. “What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Would it make any difference if I told you?” Cate gave him a mocking look. “You couldn’t even protect me in your own house, much less in front of Shaun.”

An awkward expression crept up Joel’s face. All of a sudden, he seemed like he had grown a few years older.

“I’m useless. I brought you to Canberra but left you to be bullied by others. I’m going to look for Shaun now. He has gone too far.”

“You don’t have to look for me. I’m here.”

The door of the private room was violently kicked open, and Shaun’s tall and sturdy figure walked in. He kept a cool expression on his handsome face, as if he was a late guest.

“Why are you here, Shaun?” Cate rose to her feet in a fit of fury. “You tailed me!”

“I didn’t tail you. I just came with you to meet Dad.”

Shaun dragged the chair beside her and sat down. His shameless look made Joel’s blood boil. “Who’s your dad? You’ve been forcing Cate to listen to you while you’re in a relationship with Melanie. I’ll certainly not let my daughters marry such an awful man like you.”

“I’ve set my heart on Cate. You should’ve been clear about this the night before yesterday.”

Shaun placed his big palm on the back of Cate’s hand and looked at her with deep, gentle eyes. “I want to marry her.”

Those five words gave Cate a shock.

She turned around and stared at him incredulously. Was he really going to marry her?

Did this mean everything that Chester said was true?

“Impossible!”

Joel slapped the table in a huff. “If you want to marry her, why did you get into a relationship with Melanie in the first place? Everyone in Melbourne now knows that Melanie is your girlfriend, and the next thing they know, you’re getting married to Cate. Have you ever thought about how people would criticize her?”

“Previously, we had a misunderstanding in Melbourne…”

“I don’t care.” Joel waved his hand. “When you love someone, you should respect and protect her, instead of hurting her…”

Shaun’s brows gave a slight twitch. “Uncle Joel, you used to let Aunty Sheryl down too. Shortly after she got pregnant, you married another woman. You’re a failure at relationships.”

Joel’s face turned pale. “Yeah. That’s exactly why I want to protect Cate…”

“Protect?” Shaun took the empty coffee cup from the table. “Where were you when Cate got kicked out of the house by Nicola and Melanie? If you had protected her last night, would she have been hurt by your wife and daughter?”

At that, Joel went deathly pale.

Cate looked down in silence.

Indeed, Joel had never been capable of protecting her.

“Look. You don’t know anything, and you can’t even protect her. You don’t even have the audacity to go against the Yule family, which also explains why you wronged Aunty Sheryl back then.”

Shaun’s eyes were fierce. “I’m different from you. I want her. Even if I fail to be the president of Lyons Corporation and everyone in the Lyons family opposes it, I will still marry her.”

He uttered every word so powerfully that Joel was taken aback, and so was Cate.
