Cate flew into a rage. “Are you my friend or Shaun’s friend?”
“Hehe. I think that the fact that the man doesn’t mind losing his company, status, and reputation for you shows that he’s truly in love with you. I thought this kind of man didn’t exist anymore.”
Cate was speechless.
A wave of emotions overcame Cate’s relaxed mind.
“Frankly speaking, I don’t think Patrick loves me at all if I compare him to Shaun now…”
“I have to work. Bye for now.” Cate was extremely annoyed by Mireya’s words.
Cate returned to New Metropolis Park after working overtime until 8:00 p.m. However, Shaun was not back yet.
After taking a shower, she lay on the bed and checked her phone. She subconsciously clicked open the trending searches regarding Shaun.
This time, a video had been released.
The scene looked familiar. It was the night she was dragged to Rodney’s yacht.
In the video, Shaun was seen carrying her when Young Master Kelly asked, “Eldest Young Master, how have we provoked you?”
Rodney said, “I’m the one who called them over, Shaun. Just come at me if you have any problem with that.”
Shaun replied, “Regarding tonight’s incident… If anyone is bold enough to spread a single word, photo, or video, I will make sure your whole family vanishes from Australia. Also, those of you who touched her just now aren’t allowed to leave until you break one of your hands. There should be surveillance cameras on the yacht.”
After Shaun carried her and left, each young master’s hand was broken. Some wept bitterly, while some dropped to their knees begging for mercy. The scene was extremely miserable.
The video had garnered two billion views ever since it was released.
[I finally realize that Eldest Young Master is scummier than ever before. He’s way too arrogant. He deserves to be punished.]
[Eldest Young Master don’t respect the noble families in Canberra at all. You noble families, come out and say something.]
[Who released this video? Eldest Young Master is doomed for life, and it is all his own doing.]
Following that, the Kelly family made a public announcement. [We’ll look into the matter regarding Eldest Young Master Lyons’s deed to Second Young Master Kelly.]
The Joyce family forwarded the message shortly after. [We’ll look into it together with @the Kelly family as well]
Later, nine influential families from Canberra forwarded the message.
After Cate had read all the messages, her head was buzzing. Her chest was so tight that she felt like she was suffocating.
Other people might not understand what happened, but she did. She could never forget that utterly humiliating scene that night.
She thought that Shaun and Rodney had teamed up to teach her a lesson that night.
That was why she harbored a grudge against Shaun ever since then.
However, it turned out that he was genuinely unaware of it.
To teach the young masters who touched her a lesson, he even broke their hand.
He also had them delete the photos and videos that night.
He was actually protecting her, but he did not tell her the truth.
She wondered what kind of a person Shaun was.
At that moment, Mireya’s words struck her. For her, he did not mind losing his company, status, and reputation. He even went against all the wealthy families in Canberra for her.
The whole of Australia already despised Shaun. Now that the wealthy families in Canberra were going to look into the matter, Cate did not dare to imagine what would happen to Shaun.
Would he go to jail?
Would his life be doomed?
Unable to suppress her unease, Cate dialed Shaun’s number.
This was the first time recently that Cate was calling Shaun of her own accord.
After a long time, the call finally connected. However, it was Rodney’s angry voice that sounded. “Cate, you’re such a troublemaker. You left Shaun in dire straits.”
“Where’s he?” Cate’s heart sank.
“The top nine influential families are looking into the matter. Shaun has been arrested for investigation,” Rodney said in a huff. “If it hadn’t been for you, Shaun wouldn’t have ended in this state!”
“Who are you to criticize me? If you hadn’t kidnapped me that night, that video wouldn’t have existed!” Cate refuted in a fit of fury. “The yacht belongs to you, so now that the video has been released, you bear as much of the responsibility too!”
Rodney was so angry that he was momentarily lost for words. “Those influential figures want to leave Shaun high and dry. Things are not as simple as it seems.”
Cate hung up straight away and wanted to call Hadley to find out about the situation.
Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks came from downstairs.
She put on her clothes and walked out. The housekeeper of the Lyons family’s manor came in with a bunch of bodyguards. “Miss Cox, please go to the manor with us.”
Aunty Yasmine immediately said, “Mr. Townsend, can’t you wait for Eldest Young Master to return…”
“Eldest Young Master has been taken to the judicial department for investigation.” The housekeeper’s face was cold. “The incident stems from her, so I have to take her away tonight.”
“It’s okay, Aunty Yasmine. I’ll leave with him.”
Cate walked down the stairs. She had long since expected that the Lyons family would look for her. It was just a matter of time.
…
An hour later.
The Lyons family’s manor was well lit.
It was Cate’s second time visiting the manor. When she entered, everyone in the Lyons family was present, and all of them were staring at her with disgust and resentment.
In the face of the most brilliant family in Australia, Cate’s gaze was surprisingly calm and nonchalant.
A lot of things had happened since she came to Canberra, and she had experienced far more than her entire life so far.
She was already fearless.
“Against all my expectations, you look very calm. No wonder you’ve managed to bewitch Shaun. You’re quite devious, huh?” Old Master Lyons’s eyes were fixed on her. Although he was 70, he remained as powerful as ever as the head of the wealthiest family.
Cate did not utter a word.
Seeing her expression, Old Madam Lyons was so indignant that she grabbed a coffee cup and smashed it on her head.
A figure suddenly dashed in from the side, and the cup landed on Liam.
“What are you doing, Liam?” Anger welled up inside Lea. “You’re still in love with her, huh?”
Liam glanced sideways at Cate, who looked neither humble nor arrogant beside him and smiled faintly. “Granny, let’s talk things out. If you hurt her, I’m afraid Brother will fly into a temper when he returns.”
Old Madam Lyons scoffed, “Can he do that? His release is still uncertain.”
“You care for Brother the most, Granny. You’ll definitely help him.” Liam smiled.
“Help?” Old Madam Lyons shot a glance at Cate. “He really let me down this time. Tell me, what tactic did you use to bewitch Shaun? You’re quite clever. When you came here last time, I spotted you flirting with him. You really do treat all of us as fools.”
“Mom, this woman is manipulative,” Valerie said with disdain. “She seduces Liam when she’s in a relationship with Shaun. I heard she has a fiancé. She’s just making a fool out of us.”
“Yeah. Didn’t you say that you have a fiancé?” Old Madam Lyons was even more disgusted by her. “How can you become the other woman when you have a fiancé? Are you so desperate for a man? Shame on you!”
Cate’s eyes riveted on the floor. She continued to stay silent as she did not have the faintest idea what to say.
