“Fine. I didn’t know that is how you see it.” Burning with indignation, Old Master Lyons raised his hand and slapped Shaun in the face. “If it hadn’t been for me, you would’ve had no chance of stepping into Lyons Corporation. How ungrateful of you.”
“Enough. Stop arguing.” Old Madam Lyons stopped Old Master Lyons. “He doesn’t mean what he said.”
“I don’t want to argue over this now. Just bring Cate to me.” Shaun sounded indifferent.
“No way.” Old Master Lyons rejected Shaun. “Stop thinking about this woman. I’ve already sent her abroad.”
“Don’t lie. She’s right in the manor, locked in the cellar, right? I’ll go and look for her.” Shaun walked straight to the backyard.
“Stop him.” Old Master Lyons waved his hand. Out of the blue, over 20 bodyguards appeared in the spacious living room and blocked Shaun’s way. The middle-aged man who was standing at the forefront was Ian, the most outstanding master of Liona and in Australia.
“You betrayed me, Ian.” Shaun’s eyes were cold.
“Eldest Young Master, Liona has always belonged to the Lyons family, whom I’ve been loyal to. So what makes you say that I betrayed you?” Ian answered simply.
Old Master Lyons snorted, “I only put Ian by your side because I wanted you to take over the family matters. You wrongly assumed that Ian took your side.”
“I see…” Shaun nodded thoughtfully. All of a sudden, he triggered his gun at both of Ian’s kneecaps and then violently kicked Ian away.
Ian cried out as he fell to the ground. His knees were covered with blood.
The ladies from the Lyons family screamed in shock. Old Master Lyons, on the other hand, erupted with fury. The master whom he had spent over tens of years training was ruined. “How dare you shoot in the Lyons family’s manor, b*stard.”
Shaun held the gun emotionlessly at Ian’s forehead. “Since you serve no purpose to me, you can become a useless trash for the rest of your life.”
Ian was visibly frightened. Only then did he finally realize that he had provoked a crazy man.
Now that his knees had been ruined, his entire life was screwed.
“Come and seize him.” Old Master Lyons lost his cool. “I’m going to cripple him.”
“Oh no, Old Master. The members of Liona have surrounded the manor. The members of Chesterton from the Jewell family and the master from the Snow family are outside too.” The housekeeper tottered into the manor.
Everyone in the Lyons family was astounded. Lea stared at Shaun as if he was a psycho. “For Cate, you’ve joined hands with outsiders to attack us?”
Old Madam Lyons lamented. “Shaun, you really let me down.”
“Are you insistent on blocking my way?” Shaun was in no mood to babble with them anymore.
Old Master Lyons nearly coughed blood, but he could not do anything to stop him. At that moment, all he could do was let him pass.
Shaun forcefully kicked open the door of the cellar. After that, he turned on the flashlight on his phone and walked downstairs.
A foul, musty smell exuded from the cellar.
Shaun flashed the light around. Blinded by the light, the woman snuggling on the bed subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands.
It was a weight off his mind knowing that she was alive.
However, when he approached her, he was so shocked that his phone nearly fell to the floor.
Was this Cate?
Was she the woman whose beauty caught his eye when he first met her?
He could barely recognize her now.
It had only been five days since he last saw her, and she was nothing but skins and bones. Besides that, her face… was rotting very badly.
Shaun gasped for breath as if he was about to be suffocated.
“You’re here, Shaun.” Cate had been in the dark for a long time that her eyes had become sensitive to light. She struggled a lot, only to open her eyes a little. Although she could not make out his features, she could sense his familiar cold presence.
Her mouth curled into a serene smile. She knew that he would find a way here.
He was a devil, and devils would not be easily defeated.
Nevertheless, he was definitely shocked by her current appearance.
Cate was neither anxious nor frightened, but she was not particularly glad that he had come here to save her either.
She was emotionless.
Shaun looked at her with bitterness in his eyes.
Even though she was standing right in front of him, he felt like she was farther away from him.
He came, but it was too late.
Deep down, he was overwhelmed with rage, but he tried hard to suppress it.
“What happened to your face?”
“Well… My face was already injured. Then, someone spiked my food, which worsened my wound.” Cate touched her face and said nonchalantly as if she was talking about the weather. “It must be terrifying, huh?”
Shaun’s eyes lit up with fury.
Who was so evil to ruin a woman’s face?
The calmer she seemed, the guiltier and more miserable he felt. He was like a volcano that was ready to erupt at any time.
“Let me take you away.” Shaun carried Cate with his hands trembling uncontrollably. She was very light, so light that he could barely feel her weight.
Cate obediently closed her eyes.
Shaun strode out of the cellar with her in his arms.
Hadley, Elle, and other people walked toward them. When they took a closer look at the face of the woman in Shaun’s arms, they were all astounded. “Miss Cox…”
“Get the person who has been bringing her food every day.” Shaun enunciated his instruction.
Hadley took a deep breath. Aunty Connie, who was in charge of bringing Cate food, soon came.
In the meantime, Shaun had Elle take care of Cate, who could hardly keep her footing. Hence, she could only lean on Elle. Shaun then stared at Aunty Connie icily.
Aunty Connie was scared witless. “E-Eldest Young Master, you can’t blame me for this. To be able to have porridge every day is considered a luxury for someone locked in the cellar…”
“Cut the crap. Spill it. Who instructed you to do it?” Shaun pressed the gun to her forehead. His eyes were gloomy. “One, two…”
“It was Third Young Lady.” Aunt Connie collapsed on the spot. “Third Young Lady gave me the medicine and told me to put it in her porridge. She won’t die after eating it, but the wound will fester more and more until her bones are visible.”
Hadley gasped. The women of the Lyons family were vicious, and he subconsciously looked at Cate.
However, she suddenly smiled and asked, “Are my bones visible from my wound now?”
Aunt Connie looked at her face and trembled, not daring to take a second look.
“Scram.” Shaun kicked Aunt Connie’s chest and then strode to the main hall.
As Hadley watched his silhouette, he knew that a storm was brewing.
He gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Cate. “Miss Cox, I’m begging you. Please stop Eldest Young Master. In order to save you today, he got people to surround the manor, and it has angered the Old Master. If anything happens to Valerie Lyons, the Lyons family will never forgive him. And if the Lyons family works together with the other influential families in the capital, the Eldest Young Master will be finished.”
Cate was stunned for a few seconds.
Shaun had the manor surrounded in order to save her?
To be honest, she really did not expect him to go against the Lyons family for her.
But… So what?
From the start, it was he who forced her. She was the victim, so why did she have to be considerate of him?
