“What did I throw?” Shaun was puzzled.
“My shoe.” Cate raised her leg. She was wearing a pair of high heels with thin straps over her fair ankles and feet. There was a bit of wine-red nail polish on her dainty toes. It was very alluring and tickled men’s hearts.
Shaun’s mind wandered for a moment.
A moment later, he came back to his senses and stared at Cate furiously.
She even lodged a report on such a small matter. What a petty woman!
The police coughed lightly. “She reported it to the traffic police. According to the traffic laws, the owner of the car will get a demerit of two points and a fine of 200 dollars for throwing things out of the window.”
“…”
“Alright, you guys can leave already.” The police just wanted to get these two big shots to leave.
“Wait, he hasn’t compensated me for my medical fees yet.” Cate’s delicate finger scrolled through her phone’s screen and she showed a message to the police. “My hospitalization and treatment fees cost me 6,800 dollars.”
The police officer was having a headache. “This case isn’t easy to judge. If both of you still have a dispute, you should bring it to court. However, hiring a lawyer will cost more than that amount of money, so I suggest that both of you settle this out of court.”
“Okay, as long as President Lyons is willing to give me the money.” Cate looked at Shaun with a smile. Her expression was like a cunning little fox. It made people’s hearts itch and want to give her a few slaps on the butt.
“Money is just a small matter, but why should I give it to you?” Shaun said.
“Well then, I can only upload the recording on the internet and let others hear that not only are we not divorced, but you were even planning to confine me. That’d be interesting.”
It was as if Cate could guess his answer beforehand.
Shaun felt that his head, which just recovered, was starting to hurt again. “Cate, is there anything else you know how to do except for threatening me?”
“I know many other things. Do you want to try?” Cate’s pink juicy lips smirked and her playful eyes blinked at him ambiguously.
“…”
Shaun was caught off guard with her flirting. His expression turned dark.
Shaun suspected that Cate was flirting with him again.
“Ahem, can you both go outside if you want to flirt?” The police officer coughed lightly with an awkward expression.
Shaun glared at Cate. It was her fault. She knew no shame.
“Okay, thank you, Mr. Police. Sorry for disturbing you.” Cate elegantly walked out of the police station’s door in her high heels.
When Shaun followed her out, she showed him her bank account’s QR code. “Scan this.”
“…”
Shaun noticed that whenever she was with him, his blood pressure would skyrocket. “Wait, wasn’t it 6,800 dollars just now? Why did it become 26,800 dollars now?”
“That’s the money for my shoes.” Cate looked at him as if it was a matter of course. “That pair of canvas shoes were from an international brand. I just bought them recently. It cost 20,000 dollars.”
“You hit my face with that shoe, yet you have the audacity to have me compensate you?” Shaun complained.
“You could’ve hit me back. Why did you throw it out of the window?”
“…”
As Australia’s top lawyer, he could not find any words to retort her at that moment.
“Hurry up, I’m busy. I still have an appointment with someone else.”
“Who do you have an appointment with? Joseph?” Shaun’s gaze darkened.
Cate glanced up and walked two steps toward him.
They were already standing close to each other to begin with. This time, her body was almost stuck to his. There was a fragrant smell wafting from her.
Shaun was stunned for a moment. His rationality told him that he should step back, but he was too indulged in the pleasant smell that came from her. “Cate, what are you trying to do?”
“That should be my question to you. Shaun, do you still have me in your heart?” Cate raised her pretty eyebrows.
Shaun looked at her as if he had heard a joke. Just as he was about to speak, she pressed her finger on his thin lips.
The current that came from the woman’s finger flowed throughout his body like an electric shock.
His body stayed still.
“You said so yourself that you wanted to divorce me, yet you’re controlling me so strictly. You don’t want me to cheat on you, but don’t you only have Sarah in your heart? When you left her alone and came to find me, did you ever think that Sarah would mind it? Otherwise, did you instinctively ignore her feelings because you find it hateful at the thought of me hugging, kissing, or even… having sex with other guys?”
She said the last few words softly but with temptation.
Shaun’s heart skipped a beat. He pushed her away, his eyes gleaming with anger and embarrassment.
“In your dreams, Cate. I can tell you clearly that there’s no space for you at all in my heart. Men are all prideful. As long as you and I get divorced this instant, I won’t care about what you do with other guys.”
“Really?” Her gaze was seductive.
“Absolutely,” Shaun said unconsciously, “Cate, let’s break up peacefully. The one I love is only Sarah. I want to give her happiness.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Cate laughed. He was talking so seriously but she only found it hilarious.
“Why are you laughing?” Shaun frowned.
The sunlight that shone through the tree branches fell on her youthful, small face. It made her fair complexion, red lips, and clear eyes stand out even more.
Sarah was pretty as well, but compared to Cate, her eyes lacked some brightness and spirit.
Furthermore, there was always delicate makeup on Sarah’s face. Sometimes, he felt that she looked completely different before and after removing her makeup. She was not like Cate, who only ever had light makeup on even if she put some on.
“Nothing. Pay me back now.” Cate shook the QR code.
“…”
Shaun transferred the money to her with some frustration.
“By the way, if you really want to break up peacefully, you shouldn’t stop me from finding another man. I’ll only divorce you when I get another man. You should be encouraging me.” Cate waved and walked down the stairs.
Soon, a black sports car approached. Joseph lowered the car window and nodded at Shaun. After that, he drove away with Cate in his car.
Shaun nearly went after them out of anger, but he halted when he recalled Cate’s words.
“Shaun, do you still have me in your heart…”
That woman’s voice echoed in his ears.
He took out a cigarette and lit it annoyedly.
It was impossible. He only had Sarah in his heart.
10:00 p.m.
The night was silent.
Shaun was looking at the latest quarterly report in the study.
Sarah was wearing a sexy tank top and slowly hugged him from behind. “Shaunic, you’re taking medications now, right? Let’s try it out.”
Shaun’s body tensed. He turned around and could not refuse Sarah when he saw her pleading gaze. “Okay.”
Logically speaking, he had a strong reaction toward Cate last time. He was supposedly okay.
However, when he got closer to Sarah, that strong wave of repulsion and disgust resurfaced.
“Sorry, I think I’ve not recovered yet.” Shaun pushed her away in a fluster. “Just wait a bit longer.”
“It’s… It’s okay. I was too hasty,” Sarah bit her lip and said with reddened eyes, “I keep feeling insecure lately. I just want to go all the way with you so that my heart will feel at ease.”
Shaun lit a cigarette and smoked it in frustration. “Sarah, I don’t understand why I’m like this too. If I remain like this forever…”
“No, you won’t. Even if you stay like this for the rest of your life, I’m still willing to be with you. I’m in love with you; other things aren’t important.” Frustration flashed deep within Sarah’s eyes. Things could not continue being like this. She had to quickly find a way to have this man all to herself.
“I’m sorry, Sarah.” Shaun was filled with guilt.
He could clearly make it happen when he was with Cate, but why could he not when he was with Sarah? Was he okay with other women as well and it was only Sarah whom he could not accept?
The next day, on the way to the company, Shaun said to Hadley, “Bring a few young and pretty women to me at the hotel tonight.”
Hadley’s feet almost trembled, and he stepped on the brakes. “Eldest Young Master Lyons, you—”
“Don’t ask.” Shaun cut him off.
“…”
No, what Hadley wanted to say was how many women should he bring? Would Shaun be able to take so many?
