Shaun froze when he heard her. His bloodshot eyes suddenly glared into her. “You want to leave? Are you going to Wesley Sanderson to stay with him now? Everyone on the internet is telling you two to be together. You’re the most compatible pair in the business world.”
“No.” Cate had not been able to sleep all night as she felt powerless. “I’m leaving because you don’t want to see me.”
“Even if you disgust me, you need to stay in this house,” Shaun yelled in anger, “As long as I’m around, you can only dream of being with Wesley. Let me tell you, Cate Cox, since you’ve provoked me, don’t even think of getting away from me intact!”
Then, he left.
Cate smiled bitterly. How was she still intact? She had already lost her heart.
…
Shaun sat in the backseat of his car. He had acted in a fit of anger earlier, but now he suddenly felt very hungry. His stomach started to hurt again.
He lit a cigarette irritably. If he had known that this would happen, he would have finished eating the breakfast before getting angry.
“Young Master Lyons, let me buy you something to eat.” Hadley looked at him worriedly.
“I’m not in the mood. Go bring Rosabella Cox to me,” Shaun said coldly, “I’ve always wanted Cate to deal with her, but she’s too useless. I’ll do it myself.”
Hadley nodded. It seemed like he would have to pray for Rosabella soon.
Hudson Corporation.
Rosabella was directly kicked out by the security guards.
She was unwilling and yelled at the door, “Even if my dad was arrested, he’s still a shareholder of the company and I’m still his daughter! I have the right to inherit his shares and enjoy the dividends.”
“Get lost!” The security guard spat at her unceremoniously. “Everyone already knows that your parents killed the old madam in order to get Hudson’s shares. They killed Old Madam Cox. They’re simply inhumane. Chairwoman Cox has already asked a team of lawyers to recover Jeffery Cox’ shares. What are you going to inherit? Dream on!”
“Just wait. When I come back to Hudson, I’ll make your life worse than death.”
Rosabella trembled in anger. Even a security guard dared to bully her now.
The world was really unfair. She had clearly sent all those indecent photos of Cate and Wesley to the reporters yesterday, but not only did it fail to ruin Cate’s reputation, people even started to pair her with Wesley now.
It was so infuriating.
She walked to the side of the road when a car without a license plate suddenly stopped in front of her. Then, two people pushed her directly into the car.
“What are you doing?” Before Rosabella could react, she was covered in a sack and knocked unconscious.
Before long, a bucket of cold water was poured down on her and she screamed from the cold. The sack was ripped open.
“Was the cold nice?” Hadley looked at her from above.
Rosabella looked up and thought that he looked a little familiar. After a moment, she remembered. “It’s you. You’re Shaun Lyons’s assistant…”
“It’s good that you remember.” Hadley smiled faintly. He turned to the side, revealing a man sitting on a sofa not far away.
The man wore a black suit and held a cigarette in his hand, the smoke coiling in the air. His inky eyes flashed with a dark light that was as sharp as a knife.
The man exuded a chilling aura.
Rosabella recognized him. An inexplicable fear rose from the bottom of her heart.
“Mr. Lyons, you’re engaged in legal work. Are you trying to have your license revoked by breaking the law? I’m warning you, you’d better let me go at once, or I’ll never let you off.”
Hadley laughed as if he had heard a joke.
“What are you laughing at? Can’t you understand what I just said?” Rosabella sneered. “Let me tell you, I’m Willie Lyons’s woman. Do you know who Young Master Lyons is? He likes me the best. If you don’t believe me, you can take my phone and look at our pictures together.”
Shaun finished smoking the cigarette and threw it in the ashtray before getting up. His tall and oppressive body slowly walked toward her.
Rosabella thought he was afraid and laughed. “Shaun Lyons, you’re just a lawyer. Young Master Lyons isn’t someone a nobody like you can afford to offend—”
Before she could finish, Hadley slapped her across the cheek and knocked a tooth out of her mouth.
Rosabella screamed, “Young Master Lyons won’t forgive you—”
Smack! Another slap sounded.
After several slaps, Rosabella lost a few teeth and did not dare to speak anymore.
“Be quiet.” Hadley smiled. “Who do you think Willie Lyons is? Haven’t you figured out why Willie changed his attitude toward you so quickly?”
Rosabella froze. She looked at Shaun and suddenly remembered that his last name was Lyons as well. “That can’t be. I’ve never heard of someone called Shaun in the Lyons family.”
“How would you know how many people are in the Lyons family?” Hadley mocked. “Let me tell you, my Young Master Lyons is the biggest young master in the Lyons family. He’s been in charge of the family since he was 20.”
Rosabella’s brain buzzed as if she was dreaming. Everyone knew that the mysterious young master of the Lyons family was Lea Lyons’s son. This person was very low-key, but his ruthless methods were well known.
He entered the company at the age of 20. When his second uncle disobeyed, he broke his second uncle’s leg in front of a crowd.
After he took charge of Lyons Corporation, he expanded his overseas territory with thunderous speed and even entered the fields of communication, finance, and technology abroad in one fell swoop.
At present, he had made it to the list of the top ten wealthiest people in the world. According to rumors, he was the richest person in Australia and also the most mysterious.
“That’s impossible. You’re lying!” Rosabella was going crazy with jealousy. How did Cate snag such a person?
“Why would I lie to you? That fool Willie Lyons was so scared that he peed his pants when he saw Young Master Lyons.” Hadley snickered. “Rosabella Cox, Young Master Lyons didn’t want to personally lay a hand on you at first, but you shouldn’t have drugged Cate Cox. And you really shouldn’t have given those pictures to the media.”
Rosabella was shocked. She kneeled in front of Shaun and trembled. “Young Master Lyons, I’m a fool. I was stupid. Please spare me.”
Shaun kicked her away in disgust. The coldness in his eyes revealed that he wanted nothing more than to destroy her completely. “Do you think I’ll let you go?”
“No, no, no. It wasn’t me. I didn’t take the photos.” Rosabella shook her head in fear. “They were sent to me by a stranger. It’s true that I drugged Cate that night, but when Wesley Sanderson came, the video feed in the room was destroyed.”
Shaun’s brows tightened as a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. “It wasn’t you?”
“I swear.” Rosabella had lost several teeth and her mouth was full of blood. “If I had those photos, I would have used them to threaten Cate long ago. How could I have let her sit in the position of chairwoman for so long and let her put my parents in jail?”
“Your oath is worthless.” Shaun’s frown deepened thoughtfully, but he believed Rosabella’s words. If it was not her, then who was it?
He had an idea, and his lips tugged into a smile. That night, besides Cate, it seemed like there was only Wesley.
Wesley Sanderson was not simple at all. Cate knew that he liked her, yet she was still willing to stay friends with him.
Wesley had gone overseas to open a branch office when he was young. Were people like him good?
Shaun did not believe so at all.
Rosabella knew that he believed her and hurriedly said, “Young Master Lyons, please let me go. I promise to never trouble Cate again. I’ll leave Melbourne.”
“Do you think I’ll let you leave in peace?” Shaun smiled darkly. “I’ve investigated your matters. You grew up in the countryside after being trafficked, and you slept with the village landlord at the age of 15. Later in high school, you were kept by a rich man and even had an abortion. What a shame. You didn’t lead a good life even after going back to the Cox family.”
