Shaun turned around. Cate was walking out with a good-looking young man. That man was wearing jeans and a checkered shirt. His short hair was slightly curled, and he looked like a celebrity—dashing with a good fashion sense.
On that guy’s arm was a beige-colored women’s windbreaker, and it was obviously Cate’s.
That woman… They were not divorced yet but she was already hooking up with other guys.
A chill flashed across Shaun’s dark eyes.
At that moment, Cate spotted the group of people as well.
She blinked and looked at Chase speechlessly.
Chase touched his nose sheepishly.
Sarah suddenly said, “Chase, the friends you mentioned just now were… them?”
“Yes.” Chase simply nodded. “Rin came back. We definitely had to meet up and have a meal together. I know that you guys aren’t on good terms with each other, so we’ll be leaving first.”
He waved and walked toward Cate’s side.
Cindy said reluctantly, “Since everyone knows each other, why don’t we go to the clubhouse together? The more the merrier.”
Everyone’s gazes immediately landed on her. Chester frowned while Shaun smirked. “It’s not impossible. It just so happens that I have something I want to learn from Director Cox. When did you start scheming that business trick to revive the corporation despite being in a hopeless situation? You deceived me completely, so you should at least treat me to a meal.”
Cate lifted her gaze lazily. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly burped. “Excuse me, I’m too full. Right, you were saying?”
“…”
The surroundings went creepily quiet.
Even Chase was looking at her with a gaze full of admiration.
However, the high and mighty Shaun’s cold expression was replaced with overflowing anger.
When everyone thought he was about to unleash his wrath on Cate, he suddenly smiled. “Do you think that your status has changed just because Hudson Corporation’s market value has increased by tens of billions? Cate, destroying you is just as easy as squashing an ant for me.”
Cate dug her ear. “I think I understand your words, and I’m quite thankful for you indeed. Of course, I can treat you to a meal. That’s not a problem. But what’s with this bunch of people? Do I need to treat them too? I have to treat your lover, douchebag friends, and the douchebag’s girlfriend? Even if I have a lot of money, it didn’t fall from the sky.”
Lover, douchebag friends, the douchebag’s girlfriend.
Sarah, Chester, Rodney, and Cindy took her words personally. Their expressions changed.
Chester’s gentlemanly face darkened. “Cate, it’s been three years yet you’ve shown no improvements. Do you not want your tongue anymore?”
“I really can’t afford to offend you guys. You just simply destroy other peoples’ companies and pluck their tongues out.” Cate tsked and shook her head. She turned to Joseph and said, “Joseph, let’s go.”
Joseph?
Shaun looked at him coldly. “You’re Talton Design’s president?”
Joseph smiled faintly. He neither admitted nor denied it.
Shaun nodded and said icily, “Very well, you’re the only person who dares to go against me in the whole of Australia.”
“Cate is my junior. For her, I don’t fear any threats.” Joseph smiled at Cate who was taken aback. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Cate left with him and they walked side by side.
At the courtyard, the moonlight shone on them as if they were a perfect couple.
Shaun’s chest felt as if someone had suddenly lit a fire in it. He was enraged.
Sarah looked at him and clenched her fists in secret.
“Um… I’m leaving too. We promised to have oysters together.” Chase left hurriedly after he spoke.
“Chase is just too much,” Rodney said furiously, “Are we still going to the clubhouse to have fun?”
“It’s boring going to the clubhouse all the time. Let’s just go back.” Shaun walked out.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the seaside villa. “You should go back first. I have an appointment with someone else to discuss some stuff.”
“Why didn’t I hear that you had a prior engagement?” Sarah said, half-joking.
“I forgot about it before.” Shaun lit a cigarette. He seemed absent-minded. “Don’t wait for me tonight. Sleep earlier.”
Sarah gritted her teeth and forced herself to get down from the car. She wanted to say a few more sentences but what was left was only the car exhaust.
She stomped her feet in frustration. She did not know why, but she had a strong feeling that Shaun would look for Cate.
Half an hour later, the sports car arrived at an oyster bar.
Chase had mentioned that they were going to eat oysters just now. Chase liked this bar the most in the whole of Canberra. There was a high chance that they came here.
When he pushed the door and went in, a heavenly singing voice could be heard.
“I’d rather keep all the pain in my heart than forget your eyes. You gave me the courage to believe again. Oh, I embraced you despite your lies.”
“…”
He looked toward the middle of the bar. A young woman with long curly hair was sitting on a tall chair. Her head was lowered and she was singing into the microphone. She was wearing a pair of blue straight-cut jeans. One of her legs rested on the tall chair while her other leg touched the ground. She had on a pair of simple black and white canvas shoes that revealed a part of her fair, delicate ankles.
All the spotlights in the bar were focused on her side profile. The dim lighting was like roses that bloomed in the night. It was filled with fatal seduction aimed at men.
Especially when she casually played the guitar in her hands, the effects of the seduction were at their heights.
Men were attracted to her beauty.
Women screamed at the cool vibe radiating off her.
“Everybody, let’s sing together.”
Cate stood up from the tall chair. The speed she played the guitar was getting faster. Her skills were no less of a professional.
A lock of hair escaped from behind her ear. She tucked it back, revealing her stunning and enchanting face. That small face shone under the bright lights, and it was as if a billion stars were shining in her eyes.
Shaun’s feet were stuck on the spot.
Cate looked like she was standing on a concert stage. Her whole person seemed to glow.
He did not know that her singing was so melodic and even more skillful than professionals.
He did not know that she could play the guitar either.
He never realized that she looked so pretty when she smiled.
His heart throbbed intensely.
When the song ended, he was left wanting more.
Not only him, but the audience below the stage felt the same way.
“Pretty girl, your singing is too good. Sing one more song!”
“That’s right, you sound even better than those singers at live concerts.”
“Pretty girl, I’m a manager at a music company. Do you want to sign a contract with us?”
“…”
“No need, I’m just singing for fun. I’m tired, so I’m going to rest first.” Cate stepped down from the stage.
The steps were quite high, and Joseph went over immediately to help her down.
That scene pricked Shaun’s eyes badly.
The people around started whispering as well.
The corners of Shaun’s mouth bled from the punch. He lifted his head, and his bloodshot eyes were grim. “No one is allowed to take her dead body away today.”
“Enough.” Old Master Lyons knocked his walking stick against the ground. “Shaun, let her take Cate away.”
“Grandpa, don’t meddle in my affairs,” Shaun roared.
“That must be her boyfriend. I’m so envious that he can date such a goddess-like woman.”
“Yeah, her figure looks great too. Why don’t I have such luck?”
“Uh, why did it become so cold suddenly? Was the air conditioner’s temperature lowered?”
“Now that you say it, I feel quite cold too.”
“…”
Shaun clenched his jaw. He walked over with long strides.
When Cate, who just sat down, held up her glass to take a sip of red wine, a strong force yanked her backward all of a sudden.
