“Hold on…” Wesley grabbed her hand all of a sudden.
Cate subconsciously shrank away from his touch.
“Are you that afraid of my touch?” Wesley’s eyes darkened. Her reaction came as a blow to him. “Well, you didn’t like it when I touched you back then too.”
“Wesley, I have to admit that I owe you too much. I did think about spending the rest of my life with you to make up for it, but I realized that relationships can’t be forced. I… I can remove my kidney and give it to you,” Cate said determinedly.
Wesley was dumbfounded. A moment later, a sullen look appeared on his handsome face. “Cate, what kind of person do you think I am? It’s true that I’m mad at you, and I’m dissatisfied, but I love you. I don’t need you to make it up to me like this.”
He slowly got up and took out a photograph from his pocket.
Cate subconsciously received it.
The yellowish photograph featured a girl aged between 17 and 18. She had a tiny, oval-shaped face and fair skin. Her smile was sweet, and there were two dimples on her face. Despite her ordinary uniform, she radiated an aura of innocence and purity.
Such a girl would easily become the belle of the ball in any school.
To Cate’s shock, the girl had a passing resemblance to Shelley.
However, Shelley’s eyes were not as pretty and exquisite as the girl’s.
“This is…”
“Shaun’s ex-girlfriend, who was also his first love.”
Cate’s pretty face paled.
Although she had somewhat guessed the answer, she refused to believe it.
Even so, Wesley’s words had exposed the truth, and it made her heart clench so tightly that she nearly suffocated.
No wonder Charity said that the three men had been tricking and lying to her. No wonder Charity looked at her sympathetically.
It turned out that Shaun had kept a carer, who resembled his ex-girlfriend, by his side.
Ha. How did he feel seeing Shelley every day? Did he miss his ex-girlfriend?
Who was Shelley to him, then?
This was what Shaun meant by unchanging love.
“Why are you showing it to me?” Cate gave Wesley a cold stare.
“It doesn’t matter how you perceive me, but I did put quite a lot of effort in getting this photograph.”
Wesley added bluntly, “A lot of wealthy families in Canberra know about Shaun’s ex. Back then, he pampered her like a princess and brought her wherever he went. He even insisted on marrying her despite the Lyons family’s objection. Since she was the eldest daughter in the Neeson family, Shaun came to the Neeson family’s assistance at all costs. She was fond of amusement parks, so he spent a fortune building Sarah Wonderland for her.”
“…”
Cate stared at Wesley in a daze.
Sarah Wonderland.
Of course, she had heard about Canberra’s largest amusement park that offered the most thrilling rides from around the world. One of the castles cost 30 billion dollars to construct.
Even so, she had no idea that Shaun had built that amusement park for his ex-girlfriend.
A pitiful look washed over Wesley’s face. “And to commemorate her, the name Shaunarah Corporation is a wordplay of their names. Cate, many people online are jealous of you, but do you know there are many in elite society who are actually mocking you?”
“Stop it.” She shook her head, refusing to hear more.
“There’s one more thing that you don’t know.”
Suddenly, he grabbed her by the arm. “Do you know why Hugh Jewell wanted to kill you?”
“…”
Her lips quivered.
He did not allow her to avoid the question. “Hugh’s family is destroyed because Shaun represented Thomas Neeson for the lawsuit. He did so simply because the man is Sarah’s brother. It didn’t matter to him that Thomas is a bastard who had done many bad things in life. He betrayed his own principles because of her.”
Cate was stunned into silence even if she had already guessed that truth.
However, hearing it from someone else’s mouth still made her heart pound so quickly that she felt suffocated.
In the past, she thought Shaun had done so because of money.
Then, when she learned that he was the richest man in the country, she thought he had done so because of pride and glory for being at the top.
As it turned out, it was simply for his ex-girlfriend.
How important was Sarah to him, really?
Wesley said in a heartbroken voice, “You almost died that time. Why should you and I be dealing with the consequences of the bad actions Shaun did for his ex-girlfriend?”
“Stop it.”
She was afraid she would lose her mind if she heard more.
“Cate, I’m only telling you these with the hope that you’ll remain rational. Don’t give up everything for him, including your heart. He’s unwell, and he’s not worth your sacrifices unless you’re the only person he loves. But there’s no way you can replace a dead person.”
“I will. Thanks.”
She nodded absent-mindedly before removing the man’s hand. “I want to be left alone for a while.”
“Sure…” Wesley tucked her hair behind her ear.
When she finally walked out of KFC, looking despondent, the affection in his eyes was instantly replaced by a dangerous intent.
…
At the same time.
Over in the quiet seaside villa.
A feast was spread across the dining table.
Shaun had not lifted the cutleries at all.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. A reporter he was familiar with sent him several photos.
There were a few photos of Cate and Wesley eating ice cream together in KFC, as well as the one where he held her hand. Although it was taken from the side, the affection in the man’s eyes and her sad expression were clearly captured in the photo.
What a great reunion with the ex-boyfriend.
The rage that had been suppressed earlier finally erupted like a volcano.
Shaun sprung to his feet and swept everything from the dining table to the floor.
Aunty Yasmine jumped at the commotion. Shaun smashed everything in the dining room and living room like a madman with blood oozing from his hands.
She immediately rang Cate, but she was not answering.
Seeing that the man seemed to be losing more of himself with every passing second, she had no choice but to ring Shelley.
She had no idea how to handle the Eldest Young Master’s condition. She remembered the nurse had been taking good care of him recently.
……
After coming out of KFC.
Cate kept walking along the road absent-mindedly. She even forgot about her car.
She had been walking for a long time. By the time she recollected herself, she realized she was at the entrance of Sarah Wonderland.
