The lanterns which had been lit up in the Yule household shone brightly. Many costly plants and flowers were also added to the courtyard that had been thoroughly cleaned.
When they entered the manor, Nicola was ordering the servants to clean the surrounding area.
Melanie had changed into a branded chic woolen top that was the most expensive haute couture this season. She wore a skirt which was paired with a pair of tights. There was also a fleece scarf wrapped around her shoulders.
She deliberately had her long hair styled as well. The front of her hair was curled and the back of it was braided. She looked like a princess.
“Hubby, I heard you took Cate… to the office today, did you?” Nicola approached Joel and asked knowingly.
“Is there anything wrong with taking my own daughter to the office?” Joel’s brows furrowed.
“Of course not.” Suppressing her resentment deep down, Nicola said with a smile, “Cate, I bought you a lot of branded clothes today. These clothes are probably not available in Melbourne. Go and try on the clothes now. You can’t be dressed poorly when Elder Young Master Lyons comes later.”
“Go ahead.” Joel finally stopped feeling disgusted by his wife.
When Cate went upstairs and opened her closet, she smiled at the sight of the clothes inside.
Sure enough, they were all branded clothes. However, they were all launched several years ago but could not be sold off due to their old-fashioned colors. If she were to meet the eminent figures in Canberra while dressed in any of these clothes, she would definitely be laughed at.
Nevertheless, it did not matter to her as she was confident about her beauty.
20 minutes later, she walked down the stairs.
Nicola and Melanie, who were expecting her to look old-fashioned in her outfit, became dumbfounded at that instant.
Cate wore the long gray puffer jacket that Nicola bought. The jacket was so large that it looked like a blanket on her. No doubt, any ordinary person who put on the jacket would look ugly.
However, Cate did not zip up the jacket. She paired it with a creamy white top and a pair of white casual pants.
She had not applied anything to her face either, except for some red lipstick. She looked like a pure and charming woman aged 17 or 18.
Compared to Cate beside her, Melanie looked much tackier with a heavily made-up face.
Cate deliberately said with a smile, “Thank you for the clothes, Aunty Nicola. They keep me really warm. I like them.”
“Glad that you like them.” Nicola was simmering with rage. At that moment, she noticed that Joel was staring at her icily.
Even though Joel was not familiar with clothes, he could see through his wife’s intention. Fortunately, Cate had an attractive body and appearance, so she would look fabulous in any clothes.
At that point, a servant came in and said, “Elder Young Master Lyons is here.”
The four of them immediately walked out. A Rolls-Royce slowly made its way toward the manor.
After the car came to a halt, the driver got out and opened the rear door. A noble, outstanding man subsequently strode out.
He wore a gray overcoat with a gray suit. Judging from his outfit, it was absolutely necessary to take into account the man’s looks. Surprisingly, the outfit suited him well. His long legs were similar to those of a top supermodel, whereas his stony face was so exquisite that not even a slight flaw could be found.
The moment Cate took a good look at the man’s face, her head began to buzz non-stop.
How could it be him?!
She knew that Willie was scared of Shaun, so she supposed that Shaun had quite a high status in the Lyons family. Even so, she would never have expected that he was that mysterious Elder Young Master Lyons, and more unbelievably, the richest man in the whole of Australia!
Mireya had casually pointed at him back then, causing her to be associated with such a legendary powerhouse.
Hang on. Did this mean that he was now Melanie’s boyfriend?
He was very likely to become her brother-in-law in the future?
Cate’s face slowly turned pale.
She experienced a tight feeling in her chest, which caused her some pain. If possible, she wished she would never have to see him again in her life.
“You’re here, Young Master Lyons!” Melanie coquettishly approached Shaun and hooked her arm through his as if they were a couple in the first flush of love.
“Yeah.” Shaun frowned almost imperceptibly, wondering what was wrong with the woman. They had only danced together yesterday, but she acted intimately toward him as if they had been in a relationship for a long time.
Just when he was about to break free from her grasp, Joel and Nicola approached him.
“Hello, Young Master Lyons.” Joel gently shook Shaun’s hand.
“Hello, Uncle Joel. It’s my first time visiting you. Sorry to bother you.”
When it came to interacting with Joel, Shaun treated him with courtesy and respect.
“Of course not. It’s our honor to have you here,” Nicola hurriedly replied while full of smiles.
Joel glanced at his wife helplessly. Then, he politely said, “Come in and take a seat. It’s cold outside.”
Joel and Nicola made way for him.
Before Cate could move away, Shaun came over to her and their eyes met. The second she met his gaze, she quickly looked away. She was worried that the longer she gazed at him, the more pain she would feel.
What was more, her mind was in a chaotic state right now.
Shaun’s dark eyes narrowed as soon as he caught sight of her. At that instant, a surge of emotions overwhelmed him from deep down.
However, he hid it so well that nobody realized it. Everyone only saw him staring at Cate intently while being frozen to the spot.
Upon noticing that, Melanie was gripped with jealousy deep down. She immediately clutched Shaun’s arm and said with a pout, “Young Master Lyons, what are you looking at? This is my dad’s illegitimate daughter with whom he has just reunited, but we don’t share the same mom.”
Her words were heavy with contempt.
Shaun understood everything now.
He had long since known that Cate was Sheryl’s daughter, but he did not expect that Joel was the man with whom Sheryl had previously gotten together.
He thought that he would never see Cate again. It turned out that she had appeared in front of him again and became his eyesore at that point. She had even become the daughter of the eminent Yule family overnight.
He finally regained his composure, only to experience another surge of emotions. This time, he was mainly filled with bitterness.
“Young Master Lyons, this is my eldest daughter, Cate.”
Joel introduced Cate to him as he was visibly dissatisfied with the introduction Melanie had given.
“Oh, your eldest daughter? Isn’t she just your illegitimate daughter?” A cruel statement came out of Shaun’s pretty lips.
Cate widened her eyes. Little did she expect that he would agree with the comment Melanie made. That statement appeared to push her into an abyss of despair.
Indeed, this was Shaun’s true nature. He was ruthless and brutal.
