“Young Master Lyons, I’ve investigated the issue regarding the bidding. I heard that when the designer of Summit, Rosabella Cox, introduced her masterpiece during the bidding event yesterday, Miss Cox claimed in a state of agitation that Rosabella had stolen her masterpiece.”
“Was there such a thing?” Shaun’s eyes revealed astonishment.
“President Sawyer had asked Miss Cox to provide evidence. Miss Cox claimed that the evidence was stored in the laptop but later said that the evidence has been destroyed. She criticized Henry Moore from Imperial Design, saying that it was his doing despite not having evidence of it. After that, she fell out with Imperial Design in public and was subsequently dragged out of the venue.”
“Dragged out?” Shaun repeated the phrase.
“Yes.” Hadley nodded. Having spent years working for him, Hadley was aware that Young Master Lyons was simmering with rage.
“What design did Summit display yesterday?”
‘I’ve asked someone to snap a picture of it.” Hadley handed his phone to Shaun. After Shaun glanced at it, his handsome face flashed with coldness.
He had seen Cate’s design before. It was exactly the same as Rosabella’s.
It was no wonder Cate did not seem right wnen she got back yesterday. She was discontented and probably holding a grudge against him.
It was because he had made her participate in an unfair bidding event.
A moment later, Shaun returned the phone to Hadley.
“lm guessing President Sawyer has done quite a lot of stuff like this in recent years. It’s time to expose them to the world.”
Hadley immediately understood his message. “Got it. Since President Sawyer is going to lose his position, the project that involves the collaboration between Melbourne Culture and Technology Center and Summit…”
“Of course, it’ll be canceled,” Shaun said indifferently, “Block those companies that are planning on working with Summit recently.
As for Rosabella… Provoke her verbally.”
“Okay. By the way, if the bidding event is reorganized, is Miss Cox going to handle the project? However, Imperial Design has
fired her.”
“Forget the project. She’s capable of designing, but she can’t manage such a challenging task from Imperial Design…” Shaun scoffed twice. “Bring Henry here.”
When Shaun returned to the ward, Cate was struggling on the bed, seemingly trying to get up.
However, she stopped moving the minute she saw him enter.
“What are you trying to do?”
At the thought of her being badly bullied, Shaun spoke in a rarely gentle tone.
Cate’s eyes lit up. “You… Can you get me a caregiver? I’ll pay her.”
All of a sudden, Shaun raised his eyebrow light-heartedly. “Are you planning to go to the restroom?”
Now that he had seen through her intention, the blood rushed to her face right away.
Shaun walked toward her. Then, he pulled up the blanket and carried her.
She screamed in shock and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck. “Put me down now.”
“Fine. You go there on your own, then.” Since she was so stubborn, he decided to put her on the ground straight away.
Cate lost her balance. She tottered unsteadily and fell into his arms directly as if she could not resist hugging him. She then blushed.
“Shaun.”
“You’re the one who fell into my arms.” Shaun found it interesting to see her rarely embarrassed expression.
How terrible this man was! For the first time, Cate was so irritated that she became speechless.
After that, Shaun promptly carried her again and headed to the restroom.
She was dejected. “I told you to just get me a caregiver.”
“Do you think I can get you a caregiver immediately?” Shaun asked sarcastically, placing her on the toilet seat.
What depressed Cate the most was that she did not even have the strength to take off her pants. Ultimately, she needed Shaun’s help.
By the time she got back onto bed, she was so embarrassed that she snuggled under the blanket.
Deep down, Shaun found it amusing. He was even wondering if she had been feigning shamelessness when she flirted with him back then.
An hour later, Shaun found a caregiver for Cate.
However, Cate had fallen asleep by then. He had a lawsuit to dispute the next morning, and he had not prepared the documents yet. Therefore, he gave orders to the caregiver and subsequently left.
When Cate woke up in the middle of the night, she found a gentle-looking woman who looked to be about 40 years old on the edge of the couch.
Upon noticing some activity, the woman woke up and explained, “I’m the caregiver Mr. Lyons has hired to take care of you.”
“Oh.” Cate was momentarily stunned.
She had previously asked him to get her a caregiver, and he actually did it. For some reason, she felt a twinge of disappointment deep down.
After all, he was the partner stated on her marriage certificate. He could have stayed back and accompanied her.
Nevertheless, she got over it in no time. The two of them were actually not bound by the marriage contract, and moreover, he was not in love with her.
The fact that he sent her to the hospital and even fed her was good enough.
The caregiver, who had a similar experience, noticed that she was remaining quiet. Then, she said with a laugh, “Mr. Lyons is very concerned about you. He stayed until 11 o’clock at night. He even ordered me not to fall asleep as you’d be awake during the night. Also, he hired the head chef from the hospital to prepare three meals for you and to ensure the dishes are nutritious and clean.”
Cate blinked her eyes, feeling as if she had not woken up from her dream. The way the caregiver described Shaun was totally different from how he typically acted.
The caregiver added, “I’ve seen all kinds of family members in the hospital. Mr. Lyons is hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
Cate spaced out a little. Recalling the way Shaun had showed up and saved her last night, she honestly felt that he was rather gentle.
Morning.
When Cate returned from a check-up, there were two other people in the ward, namely Shaun and Henry.
It was not clear what had happened to Henry that caused him to be badly bruised. He kneeled the minute he saw Cate.
“Sorry, Miss Cox. I was money-minded. Rosabella paid me 500,000 dollars to steal your design. It was my fault. Forgive me, please. I beg you.”
He was trembling with fear on the ground. Conversely, Cate was also trembling with rage.
She would have punched him violently if she had the energy to do so.
“Why should I forgive you? Do you know what you’ve ruined? You ruined my reputation and dignity as a designer. A scumbag like you isn’t qualified to be a designer at all.”
“Yes, I’m not qualified,” Without raising his head, he anxiously said, “That’s why I can’t design anymore.”
Cate was stunned. Only then did she realize that both his hands were hanging downward and his wrists were bandaged.
“Your hands…”
Shaun slowly got up and raised his eyebrows with indifference. “Since he has decided to be a thief rather than a designer, he shall never design again.”
Henry shuddered while crawling on the ground.
Cate had no idea what he experienced last night. Henry was a conceited, arrogant person. It must have been Shaun who made him end up in such circumstances.
She was not sympathetic toward Henry. After all, he had not considered her situation when he did that kind of stuff.
“Well, you got what you deserve. Hopefully, you’ll turn into a better person.”
“Alright. I’ll certainly not do it again. I’ll get out of Melbourne and never appear in front of you guys,” Henry said with a shudder.
“Get lost,” Shaun sneered.
