“Eldest Young Master.” Shelley rushed over to wipe the filth off his body.
Upon seeing this, Mireya rushed forward immediately to hit Shelley on the head with her purse. “You b*tch. Why don’t you get yourself a man? How shameless of you to follow him around everywhere!”
Shelley groaned in pain.
Cate was delighted to see this. She stepped forward, pretending to help. “Mireya, don’t do this…”
Despite her words, she extended a foot out and tripped Shelley on the vomit on the ground. She even stepped forward to stomp on the woman a few times. Shelley cried in anguished pain while she grabbed the hem of Shaun’s pants. “Eldest Young Master, help me…”
“Enough.” Shaun helped her to her feet before he glared at the two women. “Mireya, you really don’t have any class. Cate, take a good look at your drunk self. I told you to stay away from Charity, yet here you are drinking with her. Why won’t you listen?”
Cate rubbed her ears and replied scornfully, “What nonsense are you saying? I don’t understand.”
Mireya chuckled. “Cate, don’t you know? We’re less classy than them, hence we can’t communicate.”
“You’re right.”
Cate agreed. “Let’s go.”
Shaun was infuriated to be ignored by the woman.
“Stop right there. You are my wife, and I order you to go home with me now.” Shaun grabbed her wrist again, but this time, a dangerous intent gleamed across his gloomy eyes. “Don’t push me to my limits again.”
“Limits? What are your limits?” Cate sneered when she saw Thomas standing behind Shaun. “Why did you bring him here? To stand up for him again?”
Thomas immediately moaned in pain. “Young Madam Lyons, you really should stay away from Charity. She has a purpose for befriending you.”
“Thomas, I really regret that I didn’t hit you hard enough just now.” Charity narrowed her beautiful eyes.
Thomas was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Shaun. “Eldest Young Master, look at how arrogant she is to threaten me in front of you.”
“Charity, it looks like I’ve been too kind to you.” Shaun’s face was as cold as ice. “I’m warning you now to stay away from my wife. Otherwise, say goodbye to being the president of Neeson Corporation.”
Charity’s pretty face turned pale as she bit her lips. However, Cate grabbed her hand and looked at Shaun with her head high. “She doesn’t need to befriend me. From now on, I’ll be the one who’ll befriend her. She is the first good friend I’ve made in Canberra.”
Shaun was extremely furious. “Cate, let me remind you again that this woman is scheming, cunning, and vicious, yet you still want to be her friend. Are you so stupid to not see that?”
“Yes, I’m so stupid that I fell in love with you.”
Cate sneered coldly. “Can’t you tell who’s the scheming and cunning one? Charity didn’t lie to me. Quite the contrary, I know that my husband keeps a woman who looks like his ex-girlfriend by his side every day. Is this the love you keep talking about? You’re disgusting.”
Stunned, a mix of astonishment and embarrassment flashed across Shaun’s face. However, it was only for a few seconds before he glared at Charity. “Did you tell her about this?”
Charity was speechless, and Cate immediately positioned herself in front of the woman. “How would she dare to tell me when you’re threatening her with Neeson Corporation? Your relationship with Sarah was too high-profile that everyone in Canberra knows. Besides, I may not have confronted you, but you call out Sarah’s name in your sleep. Even the name Shaunarah Corporation is a wordplay of your name with hers. I knew that ages ago. Oh, what else? You built an amusement park to propose to her. The fireworks still go off at 8:31 p.m. as a declaration of your love. How touching. Don’t you think I’m really stupid?”
“No. All these are in the past…”
Shaun did not know what to do.
He never knew that he had called Sarah’s name in his dreams. Why could he not remember any of that?
He reached out to grab Cate’s hand, but she flung it away fiercely.
The woman standing opposite of him stared at him with a mixture of hatred, disappointment, and anger.
“I thought it was in the past too, but your decision to keep Shelley by your side tells me that I’ll never be better than the memory of a ghost, or even a substitute.”
Cate pointed a trembling finger at Shelley. “How many disgusting things have you done with her on my bed when I was away every day? Is there no other room in the house? You must be so desperate that you aren’t even picky anymore.”
“Young Madam, what are you talking about?” Aggrieved, Shelley said, “You’re the only one Eldest Young Master cares about.”
“Shut up! No one can be more pretentious than you. You fooled all the men and made everything seem like it’s my fault.” Cate took a deep breath. “But it doesn’t matter. You can have this man if you want because I don’t care anymore.”
“If you don’t care about me, then who do you care about?”
Shaun squeezed her shoulders. His body hurt like he was suffocating. “I haven’t done anything with Shelley. I only keep her around… because… because she’s Sarah’s cousin, and I thought I should take care of her. I’m not interested in her at all.”
“Oh right, taking care of her on our bed too.” Cate sneered.
“I didn’t.” Shaun shouted violently, “Why don’t you believe me?”
“Because you don’t deserve my trust.”
Cate shook her head. She felt more at peace after venting out her suppressed feelings. “Shaun, aren’t you tired? For protecting your ex-girlfriend’s cousin and her brother. Your hatred for Charity and suppressing Neeson Corporation has something to do with your ex-girlfriend, right? What more would come in the future?”
“Cate, stop. Let’s go home.” Shaun became more flustered the calmer Cate behaved.
However, she remained rooted to the ground. The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Because of your ex-girlfriend, I can’t be friends with Charity. Just marry Shelley if you can’t stop thinking about that woman. I can divorce you.”
“Are you done? You’re the person I love now.” His head was hurting so much. He really did not know what else he could say to convince her.
“Yes, you love me, but it’s definitely not as much as you love Sarah.”
Cate sighed bitterly. “If Shelley, who resembles Sarah, can replace me today, then what happens when someone else who resembles her more comes along one day? I’m just someone who can be replaced at any time, and I don’t want to continue this kind of relationship anymore. I’m sorry. Maybe I shouldn’t say this because of your condition, but I can’t stay by your side. Take care of yourself.”
“No, Cate, you are unique and no one can replace you. Don’t leave me.”
Shaun hugged her hard, panicking like a child about to lose his beloved possession.
He had experienced loneliness and loving warmth, but she was the only one who stayed by his side. How could he survive if she left?
“Stop it. I’m not that important to you. After all, your friends can yell at me, and you can lock me up anytime you like. I even need your consent to make friends… Forget it.”
Cate tried peeling her hand from his, but he refused to let go.
“Don’t go. I can’t live without you. I’ll let Shelley leave, alright? Then we can go back to how we were before.” The man was terrified. He had never thought that this was how it would end with Cate.
Why should they separate because of a small argument?
“Eldest Young Master, please let her go.”
Charity stepped forward to help Cate out.
“Charity, it’s all because of you, right?” He stared at her with hatred. “You hate me for oppressing the Neeson Corporation, so you’re taking your revenge this way.”
“Eldest Young Master, you’re overthinking things. Cate is now my friend. As her friends, I can say that you and your friends have been treating her really unfairly.” Charity replied before leading Cate away.
Mireya followed immediately.
The three of them then got into the car and left.
Shaun’s heart shattered as he watched the car disappear into the distance. He desperately wanted to run after it but suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his head, and he fainted.
….
In a midnight restaurant.
Mireya ordered another dozen drinks, and all three of them ordered some food.
Although they had talked things out, Cate could not stop drinking as she tried to forget about Shaun’s pestering. “Charity, can I ask you a question? Why do Shaun and his friends hate you so much? I’ve only known you for a short time, but I can tell that you’re a good person.”
“Yeah, it’s hard to come across a straightforward and unpretentious woman these days.” Mireya nodded in agreement.
Charity looked rather sad. “Maybe it has something to do with Sarah. When my mother took me back to the Neeson family back then, they regarded my mother as the third party and even made others hate me too. I was dating Chester in high school, but it didn’t take long for him to break up with me. The three of them thought that I had bullied Sarah. Apparently, I even took away the company and father’s love that belonged to her and her brother. But I’ve always relied on my own efforts and capability to get to where I am today.”
Mireya’s jaw dropped. “Seriously? So it seems Sarah is really a pretentious b*tch. I didn’t expect Shaun to like this kind of woman.”
Cate was also surprised.
She thought the woman Shaun could never forget was innocent and simple.
Somehow, this reminded her of Nathan and Rosabella.
Well, a woman who could make a man so deeply in love could never be that simple.
