Filed to story: Revenge Marriage Sweet Love Novel Read Free Online

“Help! Eldest Young Master Lyons wants to break my arm!” Mrs. Irvine screamed hysterically all of a sudden.

The guests who were on their way to the garden turned their heads to the source of the commotion.

“Director Irvine and Mrs. Irvine, what’s happening?” Charlie approached them, looking concerned.

“Thank goodness you’re here. I was just walking by when this woman took advantage of me. My wife is angry and wants to teach her a lesson yet Eldest Young Master Lyons suddenly threatened to break my wife’s arm.”

“Hey, Cate, are you dissatisfied that Shaun is no longer the president of Lyons Corporation, hence you’re hoping to hook up with someone else?” Valerie suddenly covered her mouth with her hand. “She still doesn’t behave herself despite the facial disfigurement.”

“That’s so disgusting. What a shameless woman!”

“Hurry up and apologize to Director Irvine and Mrs. Irvine.”

The surrounding guests began reprimanding Cate.

Right this instant, Mrs. Irvine suddenly covered her eyes and began sobbing. “It’s more than that. Eldest Young Master Lyons also broke my husband’s arm not long ago.”

“See, my arm is still bandaged.” Director Irvine grimaced. “He sure bullies intolerably.”

Old Master Lyons’s face was overcast. “You’re crossing the limit. Shaun, quickly apologize to Director Irvine.”

Liam sighed. “Brother, Director Irvine is an important business partner of Lyons Corporation. You’ve really crossed the line this time.”

“Is that so?” Shaun loosened the necktie with an indifferent smile on his face. “Director Irvine, how should I apologize so you would forgive me?”

Director Irvine scanned across the room to ensure no one from the Lyons family had the intention to lend Shaun a hand. “I’m not an unreasonable man. Since you broke my arm, then I shall return the favor today. Besides, my wife is infuriated that your wife tried to seduce me. But we can forget about this if you let her slap your wife across the face.”

Cate laughed upon hearing that. “Do you have proof that I actually tried to seduce you? I’m sure there are security cameras everywhere. Let’s check the footage to see if I actually laid a finger on you.”

Director Irvine flew off the handle. “What do you mean? Why would I accuse an ugly woman like you?”

“The distinguished Director Irvine wouldn’t have to accuse you. Things have taken such a bad turn yet you still refuse to admit your wrongdoing. I think one slap across the face is not even enough.” President Thompson seemed to be trying to make matters worse.

Melanie suggested helplessly, “Cate, quickly apologize to the man and promise you’ll not do it again.”

The corners of Cate’s lips twitched into a sarcastic smile. “I can tell that you’re trying to get back at the two of us today. The truth doesn’t even matter, it seems.”

“There’s nothing we can do if that’s what you think, Ms. Cox,” Charlie said in a low voice. “However, a person should reap the consequences of their actions. What do you say, Eldest Young Master Lyons?”

Everyone shifted their gaze to Shaun’s impeccable face.

Not so long ago, this man used to be at the top of the hierarchy. His presence in Australia was not unlike a god.

Now that he had fallen from the top, everyone could not resist wanting to see him suffer.

Under the public’s gaze, Shaun’s deep eyes turned to look at the members of the Lyons family. “Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, do you agree with their suggestion?”

In the family members’ opinion, he was seeking help.

Old Madam Lyons twitched her lips. “I think—”

“I think it’s time he gets some punishment,” Old Master Lyons held his wife down by the shoulder as he interrupted. “We failed to educate you but accidentally turned you into an arrogant and despotic man instead.”

Valerie was smiling from ear to ear. “Shaun, I bet you didn’t see this coming. Have you forgotten how you treated us last time? Yet now you’re asking for our help? Dream on.”

“Mom, what do you think?” Shaun stared right into Lea’s eyes.

The woman averted her gaze.

Shaun’s thick eyelashes lowered, casting a dark shadow beneath his eyelids.

Cate could not help feeling sorry for the man. She instinctively held his hand tighter.

She understood the pain of being given up on by your own family.

He looked over his shoulder to meet her gaze.

Director Irvine could not be happier at the sight. “Did you hear that? Extend your arm right now. Hmm, I think we should go with your right arm.”

When Shaun raised his head again to scan across the room, his delicate lips curled into a faint smile. “Actually, I suddenly remembered something. Seeing as all the affluent families of Canberra are here today, allow me to reintroduce myself.”

He retrieved a gold-rimmed name card from his pocket. “I’m the founder, director, and president of Shaunarah Corporation.”

Shaunarah Corporation…

Although it was established less than five years ago, the corporation had grown tremendously. In Australia, it was now the electronics corporation that was second only to Lyons Corporation.

The crowd broke into chaos.

The members of the Lyons family, especially, were looking at Shaun with widened eyes.

“What? You’re the founder of Shaunarah Corporation?” Old Master Lyons was infuriated.

“Shaun, what are you thinking?” Lea found it hard to believe as well. “You were the president of Lyons Corporation yet you were secretly building up Shaunarah Corporation as well? How dare you betray the Lyons family?!”

“You bastard, my biggest mistake in life is letting you take over Lyons Corporation!” Old Master Lyons wished he could swing a hammer at his grandson’s head right now.

“Dad, don’t be mad. It’s no big deal. A small corporation like Shaunarah can’t compete with our family’s business,” Valerie said grudgingly.

“That’s right. Lyons Electronics is the most superior brand in the world. Shaunarah Corporation is trash in comparison to us,” Queenie echoed with a smile.

The tense features on Old Master Lyons’s face finally eased a little. “Shaun, you’re no longer a part of the Lyons family starting from today. Lyons Corporation will do everything to bankrupt Shaunarah. Liam, I order you to destroy Shaunarah Corporation in three months and let it vanish in Australia.”

“Grandpa, I will.” Liam tried to suppress his concern.

Shaun smiled coldly upon seeing their faces. “Liam, haven’t you told them that Team Clifton of Lyons Corporation’s electronics laboratory has resigned? Oh right, I forgot to mention that Team Clifton has already joined Shaunarah. We’re holding a global conference to announce the release of Oceanic Microchip at 11:00 a.m. this coming Friday.”

Everyone could not believe their ears.

Lyons Electronics was supposed to announce the release of Oceanic Microchip, how did it fall into Shaunarah’s hands?

Liam laughed sarcastically. “Shaun, are you still dreaming? Lyons Corporation spent three years working with Team Clifton to invent Oceanic Microchip. So what if Clifton has gone off to Shaunarah with all the relevant data? I can definitely recover the ownership of the microchip. At the same time, I’ll also sue both Clifton and Shaunarah Corporation.”

“Liam, you’re such a joke,” Shaun replied with a smile, “Have you ever read Clifton’s contract? Since the beginning, he had never signed a contract with Lyons Corporation but with me personally. All the capital invested into the development also came from me alone. What rights do you have to sue Clifton?

“On the contrary…” He narrowed his eyes. “Both Clifton and I have the right to recover ownership of all the products we granted to Lyons Electronics in the past. Liam, just sit back and wait for my legal letter.”

All color drained off every member of the Lyons family’s face at the sound of that.

Liam’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper while Old Master Lyons was shaking with rage.

“Shaun, you’ll be cursed with a horrible death!” Old Master Lyons pointed at his grandson with a trembling finger. “The Lyons family brought you up all these years and this is how you repay us?”

“Shaun, you can’t do that. Your decision will ruin us.” Old Madam Lyons’s heart was in terrible pain.

“Grandpa, Grandma, I’ve given you a chance. Just a few minutes ago, I asked about your opinions but all of you only humiliated me further. Did anyone from the Lyons family show me any respect?”

Shaun’s face was as still as water. Cate was the only one who knew how badly his hand was shaking. The man was not only despondent but enraged.

“What has Liam contributed to Lyons Corporation? All the other companies under Lyons Corporation haven’t been doing well in recent years. It was I who brought Lyons Electronics to its top position to become the corporation’s most profitable business. I established Shaunarah Corporation as a way out. If I had successfully inherited the shares to Lyons Corporation, then I’d combine both the corporations into one. However, if the family gave up on me, then I’d proceed to take down Lyons Corporation myself.”

He did not try to hide the determination and ambition in his eyes. “I’d never sacrifice myself for others without reaping any benefits.”

“Take down Lyons Corporation? You can dream on!” Liam yelled at him loudly.

“We shall wait and see then. But how are you going to explain to the partners when you’re unable to hand over the microchip as promised?”

Shaun questioned before shifting his gaze to Director Irvine and President Thompson. “One of you is in the business of building computers while the other one is involved in manufacturing cars. If you’re unable to get your hands on the latest microchip, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll be replaced by other companies in the industry.”
