Liam was filled with bitterness. He had a feeling that Mason would try other methods after failing to use him. He had to keep an eye on the employees of
the company.
Far away at an island overseas.
Cate was counting the days. Before she knew it, half a month had already passed.
Although she did not have to do anything as Shaun was taking good care of her by serving her good food and drinks, she still grew thinner in half a month.
It was mainly because her days were too depressing. Another reason was that she was already married, yet she was together with Shaun every day. She felt guilty for Wesley.
On that day, Shaun brought her out to the sea to fish.
“Cate, look at this codfish I caught. I’ll make deep
-fried codfish for you tonight, okay?” Shaun brought a fat and tender fish over. His face was full of smiles as he tried to please her.
“Anything will do. I’m not interested.”
Cate stood up and walked to another side. Her attitude was cold.
Shaun sighed as he watched her from behind. At that moment, his phone rang.
It was Clifton who called. His voice was trembling with excitement as he said, “Eldest Young Master Lyons, the research and development of Purdue Microchip has succeeded.”
“Is it?” Shaun nodded calmly. “You did well.”
Clifton was shocked. “Eldest Young Master Lyons, aren’t you excited at all? You’ve invested more than ten billion dollars into this tiny microchip.
Moreover, this is the world’s top microchip. No other company can surpass this. I reckon Lyons Corporation’s market value will triple at the very least.”
“Okay, ” Shaun replied calmly, “You can let out the news that the microchip has been successfully developed and hold a press conference half a month later. I’ll attend it when the time comes.”
“When are you coming back?” Clifton said in a hurry, “When the news goes out, it’ll surely attract the top companies all over the world in other industries to collaborate with us. The company desperately requires your presence. Besides, this is a very important matter. It’s better for you to be personally involved in everything from the marketing to the collaborations.”
Shaun looked at Cate who was nearby with complicated feelings. He lowered his voice and said, “I don’t have time now. The company spent so much money to hire those senior managers. It’s time for them to do their jobs.”
“Alright.”
Clifton had no choice. His boss was a man in love, after all. “The information related to the microchip
“I’ll have Chance assign some people to protect the laboratory. You should stay at the lab these few days, ” Shaun ordered.
After all, this matter could draw the attention of the whole world. There might even be some extreme competitors who would want to hurt Clifton.
“Okay.”
After ending the call with Clifton, Shaun gave Chance a call. He did not deliberately hide from Cate.
There were only both of them at the seaside. As he gave Chance orders, his voice traveled to Cate’s ears as well.
She felt more shocked as she continued listening.
She did not think that Lyons Corporation’s advanced microchip would be developed so soon. She did not know how much Lyons Corporation’s market value would spike after this microchip was launched. No one in Australia, or even in the whole world, could compete against Shaun then.
Her heart was in despair.
Could she not escape nor hide from this man forever?
“Cate, you’re about to become the wife of the wealthiest man in the world. ” Shaun hugged her from behind all of a sudden. His hand rested on her lower abdomen. “Our children will be nobler than princes and princesses.”
Cate glanced at him helplessly. “Do you think I care about all this?”
“Cate, I just want to tell you that leaving me and
returning to Wesley’s side is an impossible matter. What does Wesley have to compete against me?
Crushing him is as easy as crushing an ant to me.”
Shaun forcefully turned her shoulders around. He lowered his head and bit on her soft lower lip.
Cate had no words.
Sometimes, she thought maybe she should just accept her fate. With her capabilities, she really could not escape this man anyway.
Nevertheless, she still felt resentful.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. On the big messy bed in the morning.
Shaun woke up first. The woman beside him was still fast asleep. Last night’s activity had made her exhausted.
He properly tucked her in with the blanket. When he got up, he realized there were bloodstains on his leg…
At first, Shaun thought he got hurt somewhere.
However, he panicked when he found no wounds on his leg. If it was not his blood, then it was Cate’s.
He lightly lifted the covers. He noticed that the back of her underwear was stained.
Although he had not experienced menstruation before, he knew that Cate was definitely on her period.
However, did she not have her period less than 20 days ago? Why was she on her period again?
He realized something in an instant.
If she did not actually have her period the last time, then according to estimations, she would have been fertile during that period.
Could it be that her period had never come at all previously?
Where did the blood come from, then?
