Although Lea did not really like Cate before as well, she thought that Sarah liked to cause disturbances even more. Sarah could even get involved with a man who was married and had kids. In the end, she caused the legal wife to miscarry. It was obvious that Sarah did not have any sense of morality.
Sarah looked aggrieved when she saw that Lea was ignoring her.
Shaun found it unbearable and said, “Mom, Sarah’s greeting you.”
“I know. I’m not deaf,” Lea replied indifferently.
Sarah forced a smile and said, “Aunty Lea, I’ll bring some food over for you.”
She did not want to try and win Lea’s favor just to be met with a cold rebuke.
Seeing Sarah leaving aggrievedly, Shaun was upset. “Looks like I shouldn’t have come over to greet you. And why didn’t you keep an eye on Liam and let him dance with Cate? An ex-sister-in-law with her brother-in-law, that’s so disgraceful.”
Lea initially thought that it was inappropriate too, but she instinctively went against Shaun’s words when she heard his tone. “You and Cate are already divorced. It’s just a dance and not a date. Other people aren’t even saying anything. It’s just you who’s pointing fingers here. You’re meddling too much in others’ affairs.”
“Even if other people are saying something, they won’t say it in front of you,” Shaun retorted bluntly.
“You’re wrong. They’re only thinking of ways to get acquainted with Cate now. She’s the successor of Yule Corporation and Hazle Group’s head design director. With these identities, nobody will want to pass this chance to get to know her. There’ll only be benefits and no disadvantages if Liam builds a good relationship with Cate.”
Lea said with complicated feelings, “Shaun, you have to understand that Cate is no longer the Cate from the past. She has the power to easily increase Hudson Corporation’s market value and have it go into Australia’s top 300.
“Besides, she’s the only daughter of Joel Yule and the genuine elite lady of the Yule family. Although she was married before, there are still many excellent men from wealthy families who want to marry her and get acquainted with her. If you don’t believe it, see for yourself.”
Shaun looked at the dance floor again.
Cate had already finished dancing to a song with Liam. Soon, she was invited for another dance by the capable and good-looking Young Master Stringer.
Shaun clenched his fists unconsciously.
Lea sighed. “Sometimes, you just can’t underestimate others. Don’t you think so too? The gossip I heard the most today wasn’t about people laughing at Liam, but they’re talking about how you previously abandoned Cate and insistently married Sarah!
“What good can she bring you? Everyone in high society shuns Thomas Neeson. If it isn’t for you supporting Neeson Corporation, no one would be willing to collaborate with them.”
“Enough, don’t say anymore.”
Shaun already felt annoyed, and he felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to Lea’s words. “I recovered from my illness thanks to Sarah’s treatment. If it weren’t for Sarah’s encouragement back then at the mental hospital, I would’ve been dead already.”
“Cate encouraged you before too. You would’ve killed me that time if it wasn’t for her,” Lea blurted out.
Shaun was stunned, and he felt a lump in his throat. “Did something like that happen before?”
Lea went speechless. “Is this how Sarah treated your illness? You’ve even forgotten everything good about Cate.”
Shaun was in a daze from her words. However, when he tried to think deeply about it, his head was suddenly in pain.
He supported his head with his hands. When he saw that Mason and Charlie were deep in conversation not far away from him, he said coldly, “Look at Mason. He said he was innocent, but he still has a close relationship with the Campos family. Do you still believe in him?”
Lea glanced over, and her expression turned grim instantly.
She turned around and walked toward Mason. “Mason, come over here for a second.”
However, she waited for a full three minutes before Mason came to her with a smile on his face. “Lea, what’s the matter?”
Lea looked at him. She felt that he was getting harder to read. “Mason, didn’t I tell you before to put some distance between you and the Campos family? Especially Charlie—”
“Lea, my last name is Campos. It’s also my parents’ family. I can’t possibly… not keep in contact with the Campos family just because of the rift between the Campos family and the Lyons family.” Mason spread his hands. “Besides, the development of the Campos family these years hasn’t hindered the Lyons family in any way. Isn’t it good that the two families are developing together in recent years?”
After a moment of astonishment, Lea said angrily, “How has it not hindered the Lyons family? Some subsidiaries of Lyons Corporation had their profits cut down again and again due to the Campos family. Not only that, if it weren’t for Lyons Corporation’s support back then, the Campos family—”
“Would the Campos family even become what it is today? I knew you were going to say that again,” Mason interrupted her. “The Campos family became what it is today through the unity of all employees in Campos Corporation. Besides, aren’t we still developing well even without Lyons Corporation’s aid these three years?”
“If I hadn’t given tens of billions to you before, do you think that this day would have come for Campos Corporation—”
“I don’t want to fight with you. It’s always us, the Campos family, who get accused of plotting and scheming whenever we fight. It’s as if the Campos family has to be grateful to the Lyons family forever,” Mason said annoyedly. He turned around and left.
Lea felt a chill in her heart.
Mason was not like that in the past. However, he was becoming more impatient with her as time passed.
Was he originally like that, or did he change?
…
After Mason left, he went straight to the garden outside.
Behind a flowerbed in the dark, a woman appeared and hooked her hands around his neck. “Why did you come out alone and aren’t keeping that old woman, Lea, company?”
“Because I missed you. Lea is indeed old compared to you.” Mason circled that woman’s waist. They started kissing each other heatedly.
“Uncle, I know of a place with no one there. Shall we go to that place?” the woman said sweetly.
“Good girl. Let’s go there now.” Mason walked toward the back with his arms around that woman. They gave each other a few pecks as they walked.
However, they did not realize that Cate had walked out from behind an evergreen tree while holding a phone as they left. The phone that she held was recording a video.
Just as she wanted to go after them, a hand came from behind and snatched her phone away.
She turned back to look. She saw Shaun holding her phone and watching the video. His expression was dark.
“Don’t you feel ashamed as a woman for recording these things?”
After a moment, Shaun glared at Cate with an unhappy look.
She was speechless. She thought that his expression was grim because he just saw the video of his stepfather having an affair, but she never expected him to discuss that with her.
“Why should I feel ashamed? It’s juicy gossip. Look at how amazing your stepfather is. He’s over 50 years old yet he can still cling to that pretty woman.”
Cate smiled as she spoke.
“Erase that from your memory.” Shaun felt strangely annoyed.
“Do you think I’m a computer where you can delete anything as you wish?” Cate took her phone back. She turned around, wanting to leave.
Shaun grabbed her, his gaze looking sharp. “Send that video to me.”
Cate held out her hand to him.
