Shaun got into a fit of rage after he finished speaking. “Didn’t I ask you to ensure a fair bidding?”
Chase looked grim. “Earlier, I told President Sawyer to give Imperial Design a chance and carry out the competition in a fair manner. Perhaps President Sawyer assumed that I allowed the small company to participate in the bidding to gain popularity. He wasn’t aware of my intention to take care of Cate.”
Shaun rubbed his forehead. It was no wonder Cate was eliminated despite her wonderful design. Moreover, she seemed strange earlier this evening.
After some thought, he took out his phone to call Hadley. “Help me check what happened during the bidding today.” Chase said, “I can easily find out about it by asking around.”
Shaun scoffed. “I have no faith in you.”
Chase turned glum. After giving it a thought, he realized that the issue stemmed from his negligence.
At that instant, the phone kept vibrating due to an influx of group messages.
Upon viewing the messages, Chase shook his head and sighed. “Melbourne’s entertainment industry is mostly filled with unscrupulous people. Having said that, this woman looks quite pretty. Unfortunately, once this sort of incident is exposed, she won’t be able to gain a foothold in the industry anymore.”
Shaun grasped the significance of his message upon hearing it. He casually glanced around and noticed that Chase was looking at a photo of a woman lying on the bed.
Based on the woman’s back, it seemed that she had a slim waist. The way her jeans and shirt outlined her figure made her look extremely seductive.
Shaun recalled that Cate had been wearing this outfit this evening.
He grabbed the phone. “Where’s this?”
“Not sure. Probably some hotel. Why?”
Shaun raised his head and glared at Chase. “This is Cate.”
Chase gaped. “Damn. It’s stated above here that there will be a live video at 7:30 p.m. It’s happening in 15 minutes.”
“Call the police right now.”
Shaun hurriedly switched on the computer in the private room. Within a minute, he managed to track the IP address where the live video would be posted.
Fortunately, the location was very close to the hotel.
In the hotel.
Cate was very dizzy and nauseous.
She opened her eyes arduously, only to discover that she was on a strange large bed.
She had a sinking feeling.
She wanted to sit up, yet she realized she was left with no strength.
“Stop struggling.” A fat, strong man came over with only a towel wrapped around his body.
Cate nearly vomited. After taking a careful look at him, she found him familiar. “You’re… Zayn Larson?”
‘I didn’t expect you to recognize me.” Zayn giggled while staring at her body. “You had complete contempt for me back then, didn’t you? I’ve long since wanted to ruin you personally.”
With that, he seized her.
“Get lost!” Filled with disgust, Cate lifted her legs with difficulty to kick him. Nevertheless, she was easily clutched by Zayn.
“Hey, don’t rush. Take your time. Look, lots of people are watching us.” Zayn exerted all his strength to drag her legs forward.
Cate did not notice the two cameras placed on the edge of the bed until he reminded her.
An unprecedented sense of panic and frustration swept over her. “Let go of me now, you b*stard! I might be in an embarrassing situation, but it doesn’t mean you can do anything to me. My dad and mom won’t let you get away with it.”
“Forget it. Your parents will just be disgusted by the way you look now.” Zayn pressed her shoulders with all his energy, then tore her shirt forcefully.
“Help…” Cate wept helplessly.
Why did God have to treat her this way? She was already very miserable. She had lost her loved ones and family, and even her dignity was being stripped away now.
Her eyes widened all of a sudden. “I won’t let you get away with it even if I were to die.”
She then bit her tongue violently. Zayn slapped her so hard that her head buzzed. It took her a long while before she could regain her senses.
At that point, Cate’s eyes were dull. It seemed as though she was frustrated at losing her soul…
Zayn flashed a savage smile. “Nobody will come and save you. You’d better listen to me obediently…”
At that very moment, someone viciously kicked the room door open!
“Who are you?” In a panic, Zayn got up swiftly.
Shaun felt like vomiting at the sight of his fat body. With a glance at the bed, he noticed Cate’s flushed face and her loose shirt that was tom in half.
In a fit of fury, Shaun punched Zayn violently in the face.
“The person who’s sending you to jail.” Given that Shaun was strong and brutal, Zayn was beaten to the ground in no time.
Shaun frantically removed the cameras and threw them at Zayn. After that, he took off his suit and quickly wrapped it around the woman on the bed.
“Cate, how are you feeling?” He did not dare to touch her swollen face. He just patted her on the back.
“Don’t… Don’t touch me.”
Cate was still quite dizzy. Upon her realization that someone was trying to touch her, her lips subconsciously quivered as a sign of resistance. Tears began to pour down her face as well.
She had always been arrogant, pretty, and mischievous.
At times, she would cause Shaun to grit his teeth. Nevertheless, seeing the woman’s current situation, Shaun was upset by her foolishness deep down and pitied her encounter at the same time.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s me. No one will hurt you.” He touched her head softly.
Upon smelling a soft masculine scent that was familiar, she naturally felt relaxed.
Her blank eyes slowly showed a sign of understanding. She became conscious of who the person in front of her was. “Shaunny, am I dreaming?”
Someone had actually come to save her in her dream.
“This isn’t a dream. You’ll be fine.” Shaun gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Suddenly, he heard a flurry of activity behind him.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Zayn struggling to get up in an attempt to flee secretly.
“Wait here.” He put Cate down lightly, then his eyes darkened. “What did you do to her just now?”
Zayn was so frightened that he went weak at the knees. Just as he wanted to run off, a chair hit him from behind. He was unable to get up at all.
Seeing the tall man approaching him, Zayn was gripped by fear. He had no idea why there was a powerful man behind Cate. “I didn’t touch her. You came when I was tearing her clothes open, really. I swear.”
“You hit her, right?” Shaun dragged Zayn up, then lifted his hand to slap him.
Soon, Zayn’s fair and chubby face swelled like a ball.
‘It’s thanks to you that I slapped someone for the first time.”
Shaun let go of Zayn when a few police officers came to arrest him.
Cate sat on the bed in a weak condition, watching the situation. When Shaun turned around, she forced a smile. A moment later, she experienced a blackout and subsequently fainted.
Shaun carried her and dashed outside.
Chase, who just rushed here, caught sight of the situation and got a shock. “Is she… okay?”
“Find out what happened tonight. I don’t want to see that person anymore.” Shaun suppressed his anger and gave Chase an order. With that, he headed to the hospital speedily.
The Campbell family’s house.
Upon noticing the abrupt pause in the live video, Janet had a sinking feeling.
The figure who suddenly appeared in the live video just now seemed to belong to the mysterious man who was present in Grapefruit Restaurant the other day.
Later, she got someone to look into the man and realized that he was just a lawyer.
At that moment, Janet’s phone rang. Someone called her and said, “Miss Campbell, Zayn has been arrested by the police.”
