Damn it! He should be infuriated for getting tricked by her the past three years yet he was smiling? “Hadley, do you think she wasn’t actually sick back then?”
“Um… I’m not sure,” Hadley replied hesitantly, “But Miss Neeson is a professional. She probably… wouldn’t have lied to us?”
He paused briefly in the end and appeared nervous.
Shaun was taken aback.
Yes, he had believed Sarah when she said Cate was depressed three years ago.
However, what if she had been lying?
He rubbed his temples gently. No, Sarah would not lie to him.
Sarah called him on the phone just as he was thinking about this. “Shaunic, are you coming home yet?”
“Yeah, I’m on my way.”
She briefly fell silent before speaking again. “I saw the news that Cate is back. It seems like…”
“Yeah.” He looked out the window and the images of Cate’s gorgeous appearance flashed through his mind.
“Shaunic, I…” Sarah laughed awkwardly. “I see that she has become more beautiful than me and it’s making me anxious. I’m afraid you’ll go back to her side.”
“Don’t overthink it. I wasn’t even really with her before. I’m home.”
He hung up the phone and told himself to stop thinking about Cate.
Upon returning to the seaside villa, Sarah came out to greet him wearing a sexy red sleeping gown.
All of a sudden, Shaun was reminded of how elegant Cate had looked in her red dress today.
“What’s the matter? Don’t I look good?” Sarah noticed him being distracted and shook him by the shoulder, pouting.
“I’ll go take a shower.” He headed for the stairs.
She bit her lip. When Shaun came out of the shower later, she went forward to hug him from behind and said in a seductive voice, “Shaunic, let’s… try again tonight.”
He stood there, motionless.
A few minutes later, Shaun gently pushed Sarah away. “I’ll sleep in the study.”
“Shaunic, why? How are we going to have children like this?” she said worriedly, “Are you disgusted by me because of what happened when I was abroad…”
“No, I’m not. I’m the problem.” A look of frustration flashed across his face. He had no idea what was wrong. In the past three years, he clearly knew that he loved Sarah yet he was almost repulsed every time they tried to take things further.
Sometimes, he even thought that he had some sort of illness that prevented him from being intimate with women.
Sarah had tried to treat this problem through several treatment sessions yet they were to no avail.
Her face was washed over with frustration. “Why don’t you… go get yourself checked by the doctors? I really can’t take it anymore. I want you…”
She took off her dress and threw herself at him.
In that split second, he pushed her away almost immediately by instinct. The woman who did not expect this fell to the ground. She started crying aloud upon thinking about the humiliation.
“I’m sorry.” He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. He carried her to the bed and finally left the bedroom.
As soon as he left the room, she punched her fists on the bed furiously.
Little did she expect that even after she hypnotized the man to fall in love with her three years ago, he still could not take things further with her. Sometimes, he even felt sick when she tried forcing herself on him.
It had been three and a half years.
She was almost losing her mind living this suppressed life. Sometimes, she really wished to have fun and release her suppressed emotions with another man.
Suddenly, an unknown number was calling her.
She ignored it right away.
Within seconds, that same number sent her a photo. Sarah was wearing a bikini in that photo and sitting on a thuggish middle-aged man. The man had a thick, messy beard while his body and arms were covered in tattoos. She was smiling sweetly while sitting on his big belly.
A shudder went through her. This was her biggest nightmare.
She answered the phone when it rang again. A man’s perverted voice sounded from the phone. “Hehe, Neeson, I didn’t think you were going to marry Australia’s wealthiest man after leaving Country M. What do you think Shaun Lyons would do if he finds out you tried so hard to seduce us in the past?”
All color drained off her face. “Lucifer, you’re alive?”
“Haha, of course, I’m alive. Otherwise, no one in this world will know how cheap a woman you were,” he said through clenched teeth, “You’re really cruel. Fortunately, I wasn’t there that day or I would’ve been arrested by the police along with Wilson and the rest.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she replied, trying her best to hide her nervousness.
“Don’t you remember?” The man laughed evilly. “Well, I guess I have no choice but to have a chat with Shaun then. I’ll let him know how shamelessly you initiated to pleasure the four of us when we caught you in the past. Tsk, I’ll never forget that scene. I have a few more pictures with me. Should I send them to him so he can know what a wild woman his girlfriend is?”
“Shut up! What do you want?”
Sarah dared not think about that.
“Not much. But I’m lacking money lately…”
“How much?” she interrupted impatiently.
“Hmm, what about 100 million dollars?” Lucifer laughed. “Besides, I’m quite bored here in this big city. Come accompany me.”
She was shaking at this point. “Stop it. You don’t deserve me.”
“Haha, it’s not like I haven’t tried you before. Alright, Neeson, stop pretending. I know what you’re really like better than anyone else.” He laughed evilly again. “Come on over and I promise to pleasure you. Don’t you dare be clever with me. The photos will fall into Shaun’s hands if anything bad happens to me.”
“Sure, I’ll be there.”
Left with no alternative, Sarah shut her eyes and agreed.
Never in a million years would she expect Lucifer was still alive. She thought no one would ever find out about her past.
“I’ll be waiting for you.”
After ending the phone call, Sarah got dressed and walked down the stairs. Shaun was standing in front of the French windows. His slender and beautiful fingers were wrapped around a glass of red wine. The window clearly reflected his handsome face. A man with his impeccable looks would make any woman want to do bad things to him on a night like this.
A look of frustration flashed across Sarah’s face.
Shaun was the most charming man she had ever seen yet he had problems in that department.
“You’re going out?” He looked at her purse.
“Yup, I’m going to meet my friends. I’m getting tired of this.” She tucked her hair behind her ear to reveal her sad face.
His face was washed over with embarrassment. “Sorry. I promise… that I’ll see a doctor.”
“Um… Sure.” She was so busy thinking about dealing with Lucifer that she merely mumbled a reply and quickly left the villa.
A pin-drop silence fell upon the room.
Shaun lowered his head to the ground and finished the wine in a gulp. A chubby cat came near his feet and started meowing.
He bent over to pat Fudge on the head. “What should I do if I keep failing?” he said quietly.
…
Yule family’s villa.
Cate’s phone rang and she went to the garden before answering. The other person’s voice sounded from the phone. “Miss, Sarah Neeson went to the private apartment she purchased secretly under her name. Lucifer’s there too. The surveillance cameras we went through all the effort to install are probably not going to be useful now.”
She felt disappointed upon hearing that. “I thought she would meet Lucifer in the hotel. It appears she’s more cautious than I thought.”
“It’s fine. They’re not going to stop after the first meeting. What’s important is that she took the bait.”
“You’re right. Keep a close eye on them. Let me know when she leaves.”
“Okay.”
After putting the phone away, Joel appeared looking troubled.
“Cate, numerous stockholders of Yule Corporation called me earlier. They want me to return to my position tomorrow. It seems they’ve agreed to temporarily dismiss Damien and Melanie from their positions.”
“Dad, it’s better to wait for the Yule Corporation’s stock price to drop further.”
“Sure,” he agreed without hesitation.
This took her by surprise. “Dad, that’s it? We’re talking about several billion dollars here,” she asked, smiling.
“It doesn’t matter. Your happiness is my utmost priority.” As soon as he finished saying that, he staggered backward a little.
Cate grabbed onto him immediately. “Dad, what’s wrong?”
“Sigh, it’s probably just old age. I keep feeling lightheaded lately. I think the accident has really taken a toll on my health. I begin panting for air after taking a few steps.” He smiled bitterly. “That’s why I wanted to hand over the corporation to Melanie sooner but what a shame…”
She frowned. “Dad, I’ll bring you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.”
