Under the moonlight, her fair, small hands looked clean and pure. She wore a diamond bracelet around her wrist. It was simple, yet her fair skin made it look luxurious.
Shaun’s heart skipped a beat. “What are you doing?”
“Pay me for the copyright transfer.” Cate blinked her pretty eyes as if it was a matter of course. “Mason’s image is on the line. He’s the Lyons family’s live-in son-in-law and the Campos family’s eldest son. This information must be worth at least 80 million dollars.”
Shaun shot her an icy glance. “80 million dollars? Why don’t you just rob a bank?”
“Young Master Lyons, don’t think of me as someone who is inexperienced and doesn’t understand the market. Any paparazzi can easily get tens of millions of dollars for a celebrity’s scandal. If you’re not willing to pay, I can just sell the video to the media. There must be people fighting to pay for it, especially the Campos family. They’ll even buy it for a billion dollars, I reckon.” Cate turned around and left in a relaxed manner.
Shaun felt himself having a stomachache from being angry with Cate. He should have transferred the video to his phone when he had snatched her phone away earlier. “Fine, I’ll pay. Transfer the video to me.”
“Give me the money first and I’ll transfer you the video. When striking a deal, I’m always equally honest with both old and young clients.” Cate raised her eyebrows.
The corners of Shaun’s mouth twitched. He took his phone out and transferred the money to her immediately.
Cate’s eyes were arched into curves as she smiled when she saw that sum of money. That sweet smile filled up Shaun’s heart to the brim.
He was still slightly angry at first, but it was as if his anger was soothed all of a sudden.
Was it not just 80 million dollars? He could earn it back in a matter of minutes.
It was not that expensive at all.
With a ding, he received the video on his phone.
“Goodbye. It was a pleasure working with you this time.” Cate turned around and left. She had just casually come out for a while and earned 80 million dollars. Gosh, she wanted to attend more parties like this.
“Wait…” Shaun blurted out unconsciously when he saw her leave.
“Is there anything else?” Cate looked back. Part of her chestnut-colored long hair was blown by the night wind, revealing her utterly stunning face and swan-like neck.
Shaun’s throat went dry. He could not help but say, “Don’t dance with Liam anymore in the future. It’s embarrassing.”
“Who I dance with is none of your f*cking business. Is your last name ‘meddle’?”
Shaun frowned. “What does it have to do with my last name?”
“Because you keep meddling in other people’s matters,” Cate replied sarcastically.
Shaun scoffed. “You’re my ex-wife. Liam is my brother. What would people say if you guys got together? You both are shameless, but I’m not.”
“Do you even treat Liam as your brother? You hit him as you wish in the company and made him a laughing stock in Canberra,” Cate scolded him, “I’ve never seen someone so bossy and selfish like you.”
“So you’re feeling bad for Liam now?” Shaun squinted his eyes. Coldness exuded from his gaze.
“He saved my life. Isn’t it normal for me to be on his side?” Cate smiled as she said, “We’re both single anyway. It’s not impossible for us to try dating each other. Liam is handsome too.”
“Don’t you dare.” Shaun’s furious gaze looked as if he wanted to gobble her up. “The Lyons family will not tolerate this.”
“It doesn’t matter even if you don’t tolerate it, since Liam is neglected in Lyons Corporation anyway. Worst comes to worst, he can just work at my company. It just so happens that I have too many companies that I can’t manage them all. Who knows? You may have to call me ‘sister-in-law’ in the future.” Cate looked at him. “Don’t you think that life is full of surprises?”
“…”
Shaun’s temples throbbed until his head ached. He realized that he could not hold a conversation with Cate. He would always get so angry that he felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
“Cate, I would rather destroy you than let you and Liam be a disgrace.”
“Fine, I’m just saying anyway. There are too many people trying to woo me now. Liam is just another option. I haven’t chosen one yet.”
Cate left with a smug expression after saying that.
Shaun punched the tree.
They were divorced, but why could his emotions still be controlled by that woman? He even wanted to hide her when he saw her dancing with another man.
…
Upon returning to the banquet hall, Cindy was playing the piano.
The melodious sound of her playing and her soft singing echoed in the banquet hall.
The guests enjoyed the performance since many people in high society had some knowledge of piano and music.
“Cindy isn’t the pop diva of the music industry for nothing. She can sing both low and high notes while playing the piano without needing to catch her breath.”
“That’s right. Her abilities are not just for show. No wonder Young Master Jewell has been supporting her these few years.”
“Not only is he supporting her, but he spoils her a lot too. Young Master Jewell gives her whatever she wants. He even supported her as she made the transition from being a singer to a film star.”
“…”
“Where did you go? I looked for you everywhere. You’re up next,” Liam went to Cate’s side hurriedly and said.
“I just went out to earn some small cash.” Cate showed him the 80 million dollars that she earned.
Liam was shocked. “What the f*ck, where did you earn that from?”
“Your brother.” Cate pointed at Shaun who came in from behind with a dark expression.
Liam gave her a thumbs up. “I’m impressed. Treat me to supper later.”
“I can’t. Young Master Stringer said he’ll send me back home later.” When Cate thought about how she had earned that money through his dad’s affair, she could not help but pity him. It would not be long until he had to drink his sorrows away. “To make up for my guilt, I’ll transfer 40 million dollars to you.”
Liam was in a daze from shock. “You… You’re being so generous?”
“We’re friends! It’s just 40 million dollars.” Cate casually transferred the money to him and left.
Soon, Shaun came to Liam’s side. He asked with a dark expression, “What did Cate say to you?”
Liam flashed his phone at Shaun with a smile. “She can’t have supper with me because she’s going on a date with Young Master Stringer tonight, so she transferred 40 million dollars to me.”
“…”
At that moment, Shaun experienced what it was like to be enraged, infuriated, and exasperated.
F*ck, she earned that money from him and shared it with Liam immediately.
