As soon as the bandage was done, the door was violently kicked open.
Rodney dashed in. When he caught sight of Shaun’s injuries on his hand, he then said in a huff, “Are you okay, Shaun? To end up in this state all for the sake of a woman?”
“This is my private affair,” Shaun said indifferently.
“I treat you as my brother,” Rodney said out of annoyance. “Look what Liam has done. He was the one who added fuel to the fire on the Internet and triggered everyone in Australia to criticize you. Even those influential families who used to hold you in awe and respect are shunning you as if you’re a plague. Are you really fine with everyone favoring Liam now?”
Chester laughed. “Rodney, you’re overreacting. Does Shaun seem like the sort who’s easily defeated?”
“But…”
“It’s not easy for Liam to take over Lyons Corporation.” Chester shifted his eyes to Shaun.
Shaun smiled. “You know me best.”
Rodney became glum. “Fine. I’m a busybody. You even punched me on the yacht the other day.”
“Serves you right…” Shaun replied nonchalantly.
Rodney was at a loss for words.
Motherf*cker. He was really pissed off.
“Alright. Forget about the unhappy matters. Rodney flew here from Melbourne when he learned that something happened to you. Let’s get together tonight.”
Shaun kept an impassive face. “What’s the point of him coming here? To help me?”
“To drink with you.” Chester showed a pearly-teeth smile. “Drinking can drown one’s sorrows.”
“…”
…
The Yule family’s villa.
The moment Nicola found out that Shaun had bought Cate a piece of jewelry worth 15 million dollars, she was so furious that she smashed the vase in the living room.
“Something’s seriously wrong with Shaun. Melanie treated him so well, yet he chose to marry an illegitimate daughter. Ahhhh. Cate, you deserve to die like your mom.”
“Enough. Your words are too harsh.” Joel could no longer tolerate her behavior.
“Joel, you useless trash,” Nicole criticized him while pointing to his nose. “Someone snatched your daughter’s boyfriend and bullied her, yet you can’t do anything to help her. Now that Melanie and Fergus are locked in the police station, you can’t even bail them out. What kind of a man are you?”
“Watch your mouth, Nicola.” Joel was simmering with rage. It filled him with disgust to look at Nicola, who looked like a crazy woman at that point.
“Am I wrong in saying that? You’re weak, and that’s why Melanie got tricked. If you’re not going to save her, then I’ll find a way out.”
With that, Nicola drove to the Lyons family’s house. Old Master Lyons felt sorry for the Yule family, so he tried to think of a way to bail Melanie and Fergus out of the police station.
On the day Melanie was released, she hugged Nicola and wept bitterly. “Mom, Eldest Young Master has gone too far. He has never bought me jewelry, yet he spent so much buying it for Cate. I want to kill Cate.”
Nicola gnashed her teeth. “No doubt, I’ll send her to hell to meet Sheryl. Anyway, what matters most at the moment is to get you a better…”
“Mom, I only like Eldest Young Master,” Melanie replied amid her sobs.
“Shut up,” Nicola said in a fit of fury. “Why are you still thinking about him even though he humiliated you? Think properly. But I won’t let him off the hook since he humiliated us this time.”
“Mom, what’s your plan? He’s the Eldest Young Master. We can’t afford to provoke him…”
Nicola said coldly, “You’re overthinking it. Eldest Young Master is no longer as influential as he previously was. Soon, he’ll be boycotted by all the noble families in Canberra, and his future will be at stake.”
Melanie was dazed. “Mom, I don’t know what you’re saying. Why would the noble families boycott him…?”
“You’ll find out about it very shortly. The Lyons family feels sorry for you, so they’ve personally promised to arrange a marriage for you. It’s Charlie Campos from the Campos family.”
Fergus was both surprised and delighted. “Liam is the president of Lyons Corporation. What’s more, Charlie is Liam’s cousin as well as Lea’s nephew, so he’s bound to have a bright future. Furthermore, the Campos family’s condition is comparable to the Yule family’s.”
“It’s pretty good. Charlie is a dignified person anyway.” Nicola looked at the dazed Melanie. “Just give up on Shaun. He humiliated you in front of everyone, but did he regret it after?”
Melanie suddenly came back to her senses.
Indeed, Shaun had been tricking her. He even left her to suffer in the police station.
She loved him so much, yet she ended up as a laughing stock!
Ah!!
She would definitely make him regret and beg for mercy!
She would also put Cate through hell!
Once Melanie came out of the police station, a group of reporters was already waiting outside to interview her.
At that point, she looked like she was another person. Tears were trickling down her pale face.
The reporters ran to her and asked, “Miss Cox, rumor has it that you caught Eldest Young Master and the other woman sleeping together on the night of the Lyons Corporation’s charity gala. Is this true?”
“Drop it.” A pitiful smile crossed Melanie’s face. “I don’t want to talk about what the Eldest Young Master did because I have loved him for a very long time. I was really happy when I finally got to be with him. All I can say is that I fell for the wrong person, but I don’t blame him. I wish him a happy life.”
“You’re really generous, Ms. Yule. Eldest Young Master doesn’t deserve to be with you. You will be happy,” a female reporter said.
“I’m not sure I will, but I’m very exhausted at the moment. I hope every woman will protect themselves, especially their vulnerable hearts.”
…
Office.
When Cate watched Melanie’s interview through her phone, she frowned.
Melanie’s interview had clearly won sympathy and favor from all the Australians.
The men praised her for having high emotional intelligence and self-restraint. She lives up to her reputation as a young lady from a noble family.
The women praised her for being forgiving and genuine. They saw her as a pitiful, innocent girl who Eldest Young Master did not deserve to be with and deserved someone better.
However, judging from Melanie’s thoughtlessness, it was out of her character to make such clever remarks.
There must be something in the water.
Amid Cate’s thoughts, the phone rang.
Mireya had called Cate to share some gossip with her.
“Isn’t Melanie in love with Shaun? She technically twisted the knife and made those remarks to push Shaun into the abyss.”
“Are you worried about him?” Cate asked.
“Bah! I’m afraid that you’d be worried about him instead.”
“Of course, I won’t.” Cate subconsciously denied it. “The more miserable he is, the more likely I’ll be able to escape his devil-like clutches.”
“Alright. Well, strange enough, all the Australians are curious about who Eldest Young Master’s new girlfriend is despite the fuss. Surprisingly, the media did not expose any news about you. When things like this happen, netizens usually criticize the other woman more severely.”
Pursing her lips, Cate was aware of that too.
So far, she reckoned that it was Liam who arranged everything behind the incident. Did he not want to expose her identity yet because he was apologetic, or was he afraid of being dragged into the matter?
Anyway, she would not be grateful to him. Liam was even more despicable than Shaun.
Shaun was visibly evil, but Liam hid his evilness very well. People like him were the most terrifying.
Mireya then said, “Anyway, Shaun is considered a real man. In fact, he could’ve exposed your identity and claimed that you seduced him, then he wouldn’t have been criticized so badly. But he chose to remain silent on it…”
