She only saw the arrogant, cold, and cruel side of him in the past. Today, she had seen his weak and helpless side.

Her heart still ached.

“To be honest, when I first knew that you and Shaun got together, I thought… that you weren’t good enough for him.” Chester smiled. “But now, I feel ashamed for having those thoughts. You deserve to be cherished by Shaun.”

Cate was not surprised. They were people who were standing at the top of Australia’s hierarchy, so it was normal that they would look down on her. “Young Master Jewell, can you tell me how Shaun got the wound on his arm now?”

Chester smiled bitterly. “You might’ve guessed it already, but yes, whenever Shaun is about to lose control, he cuts himself with a knife. It happened twice, and both times were related to you.”

Cate was shocked. She raised her head and looked at him.

“Once was when you fought with him in the morning. After he left, he hurt himself in the car. Another time was when he was on the way to the hospital after saving you from the Lyons family’s manor.”

Cate remembered this. That morning, she had said she did not love him and then he left furiously. As for the second time, he suddenly said that he wanted to get out of the car. She thought he hated the stink on her body.

In truth, he was hurting himself.

She was so dense that she only knew about him losing control of his emotions today. She regretted it a lot.

“You and Lea are the only ones who can make him lose control because he cares about you two.” Chester stared at her and sighed helplessly.

Cate’s heart trembled. “Then what should I do?”

“Stay with him,” Chester said, “He can’t work in this state now. Shaun has a villa by the seaside. I suggest that you guys move over there. Accompany him to get some fresh air and give him warmth and love.”

“Okay.”

Cate nodded without delay.

“You… don’t hate him anymore?” Chester raised his eyebrows curiously. “Didn’t you keep blaming him for using underhanded tactics to separate you and Wesley? And Shaun had something to do with you being disfigured too.”

Cate felt bitter. “Yeah, I should resent him. I should resent him for not trusting me in Melbourne, for humiliating me again and again, and for hurting me. Having said that, I couldn’t help worrying about him when I found out that something happened to him. It pained me to learn about his difficult childhood. I fooled myself into believing that I’ve stopped having feelings for him, but I can’t fool my heart. The more I get along with him, the deeper I’m falling for him.”

She stared affectionately at the unconscious man on the bed.

Let bygones be bygones. From today onward, she wanted to be nice to him.

Now that Joel was in a coma, Shaun was her only family member.

A look of relief crossed Chester’s face, yet Hadley, who was beside him, looked anxious. “If Eldest Young Master Lyons can’t work, how is the press conference on the microchip going to take place? What’s more, news about Eldest Young Master Lyons’s mental condition is spreading like wildfire. We must subside the commotion.”

Cate was stunned. “Isn’t there anyone else who can take charge of Shaunarah Corporation at a time like this?”

“There is, but it has already been announced that Eldest Young Master Lyons would be the one attending the conference. I’m afraid that his absence during the emergency will cause an uproar and negatively impact Shaunarah’s future development.”

Cate frowned and thought it over for half a minute before she suddenly rose to her feet. “I’ll attend on his behalf. As his wife, I’ll assume responsibility for it.”

Hadley and Chester were both astonished.

“But there’ll surely be a lot of reporters bombarding you with questions about Eldest Young Master Lyons’s condition during the press conference tomorrow…”

“I’ll respond to the reporters’ questions.” Cate turned her fierce eyes to Hadley. “Help me gather some information. I want the public to know that Shaun is not a lunatic.”

Hadley shuddered. All of a sudden, he was touched by her act. At least there was someone who cared for Eldest Young Master Lyons in his life.

…

The next day.

The villa at the seaside was facing the sea. Spring had come and flowers were in full bloom.

After being unconscious for a night, the man on the bed opened his eyes and sat up. He rapidly rushed to the door without putting on his clothes.

At that instant, the door was pushed open. Hadley walked in with a look of surprise. “You’re awake, Eldest Young Master…”

Shaun pushed him away and headed downstairs. After rummaging around, he tugged Hadley at his shirt with bloodshot eyes. “Where is she? Where did she go?”

Hadley came to his senses. “Young Madam—”

“She left, right?” Shaun interrupted his sentence and roared, “She lied to me! She promised to stay by my side during my treatment and prepare roast pork for me. They’re all lies.”

“Eldest Young Master Lyons, you’ve misunderstood her.” Fearing that Shaun would go out of control again, Hadley immediately said, “Young Madam is attending Shaunarah’s press conference on your behalf.”

“What?” Shaun narrowed his eyes.

“Young Master Jewell said that you’re not fit enough to go out, but more and more scandals about you are spreading out there and it’s hard to stop them. The reporters have already crowded the venue of the press conference since last night. Because of that, Young Madam decided to attend the press conference on the microchip in your stead and clarify your condition as well.”

Shaun glared at Hadley furiously. “Are those from the top management of the corporation dead? Also, how could you possibly let her deal with those ferocious reporters? No way, she can’t handle it. I must hurry there…”

“Eldest Young Master Lyons, you can’t go there.” Hadley stopped him.

“Get out of my way. You’re just my subordinate. How dare you block me?!” Shaun flew into a rage.

“Hadley is blocking you for your own good.”

Chester suddenly came in through the entrance. He had never been this stern before. “Look at yourself. You know full well that the reporters are going to pose terrible questions at you during the press conference today. Are you 100% sure that you won’t be affected by them and won’t lose control?”

Shaun’s throat tightened, and his five fingers curled up into a fist.

Chester said, “If your illness gets triggered in front of the cameras, Shaunarah Corporation will be dead in the water and your life will be over.”

“Stop it.” Shaun’s eyes flashed with grimness.

“Have faith in Cate. She’s not that weak.” Chester took out his phone and clicked the app which was broadcasting a live stream. “Now, let’s see how she’s performing.”

The live stream for the press conference held by Shaunarah Corporation that night had garnered over 200 million viewers.

Dressed in a black gown, Cate was giving a speech on stage.

It was the first time she appeared in public as Shaun’s wife.

Those who had never seen her used to assume that she was a great beauty, considering that the most brilliant eldest young master in Australia fell deeply in love with her. Nevertheless, the minute she appeared in public, everyone was dumbfounded.

Shaun even noticed that a lot of the audience kept flooding the comment box.

[How could it be? She’s so ugly]

[Damn, what happened to her face? It’s really ugly]

[Could it be that something went wrong with Eldest Young Master Lyons’s eyes since the time he suffered from mental illness?]

Shocked, Chester immediately turned off the comment box.

However, Shaun had already caught sight of the comments and exploded with rage. “These people are out of their minds. Are they interested in watching the press conference or beautiful ladies? Jot down their usernames. I’m going to disable their access to the live stream.”

Feeling awkward, Hadley swiftly changed the topic. “Well… Eldest Young Master Lyons, look. Young Madam has begun to speak. She has an air of authority and charm.”

Shaun glared at him. He did not need Hadley to remind him as he could see it with his own eyes.

It was his first time seeing Cate stand out.

The press conference tonight had drawn the attention of many technology companies in Australia as well as foreign companies.

During the press conference, Cate lifted the microphone in a relaxed manner. She tapped the microphone to test it before she began speaking, “Hello, everyone. I’m Shaun’s wife, Cate Cox. I’m here to host the press conference on Shaunarah’s Oceanic Microchip. This is the first batch of the best microchips produced in Australia. The founder of the microchip, Shaun Lyons, was supposed to introduce the product in person, but Mr. Lyons could not come due to personal reasons—”

Before she could finish speaking, a reporter from Joyfolk Financial Times interrupted her speech, “Is it because his mental illness has been triggered? Did he really kill the nanny who looked after him since he was young? He doesn’t have to go to jail after killing her because of his mental condition, right? Or is it because of his noble status that he’s not locked up?”

Once the reporter initiated the subject, many other reporters began to ask her about it.

“We heard that an ambulance from the mental hospital went to his mother’s villa yesterday. Was his illness triggered again?”

“Why has he not been sent to the mental hospital yet? Will he hurt others next time?”

“Can people with mental problems like him lead Shaunarah well? Could there be an issue with the microchips?”

“Now that you’re living with Shaun, aren’t you afraid? Has he ever hurt you?”

“Not only is there something wrong with Shaun’s eyes, but he also has bad taste. Otherwise, why did he choose you as his wife?”

“…”

Cate was bombarded with countless nasty questions from the reporters below the stage. The constant camera flashes hurt her eyes as well.

Even so, she continued to wear a gentle and polite smile.

Five minutes later, the reporters were tired of asking questions. When they began to quiet down, Cate opened her mouth. “Are you guys done asking questions?”
