Women were so shallow.
Shaun raised the whip and led the horse away.
His heroic and handsome figure dazzled Melanie’s eyes. He was simply a giant among men. Once she laid eyes on him, she could see no one else.
She had to marry him.
…
In the office.
General Manager Wolfe reported to Cate with a dejected face. “President Cox, the plot of land along the coastline was granted to Cosmos Corporation.”
Cate was stunned. “Didn’t you say yesterday that the formalities hadn’t been handled?”
“I heard that Eldest Young Master Lyons played a part. Cosmos Corporation is an industry under the Wicks family. I heard that the Wicks family is with the Lyons family now.”
General Manager Wolfe had a bitter face. “We spent a lot of money on this plot of land, but now, it’s wasted.”
Cate was silent and did not speak for a long time.
She knew very well how the Wicks family got with the Lyons family.
She really did not expect that Shaun would help the Wicks family without hesitation. She thought that he would at least think of the affection they had shared in the past…
No, there was no affection at all.
“Can we change the land?” Cate asked.
“Everyone is developing the land there. There’s land still available, but it’s too expensive. According to the company’s budget, we won’t be able to earn any profits.” General Manager Wolfe said gloomily, “President Cox, maybe we shouldn’t develop in Canberra. We’re outsiders, so it’s too hard to enter this circle.
“If we can’t squeeze in, then change the method. It just so happens that Hudson can develop in multiple fields. Medical, finance, tourism… This city is also closely linked to an international track. There are opportunities to make money everywhere,” Cate said softly, “Only by diversifying will we be unafraid of being eliminated in the future.”
General Manager Wolfe was shocked. “You’re right. I’ll convene a meeting to discuss this immediately.”
The next day, Cate was busy holding meetings in the company.
However, it was not that easy to develop in a new field.
At 10:00 p.m., she dragged her tired body into the villa and saw Melanie leaning on the sofa with a facial mask. Her eyes were full of mockery.
“How did things go? So what if Dad helps you? With just one word from me, Eldest Young Master Lyons will help me unconditionally. No one can say no to him.”
Cate did not even bother to pay attention to her and went directly to her room.
After closing the door, she leaned against it. Her chest felt tight, and it was hurting her.
That man, no matter whether he was a lawyer before or Eldest Young Master Lyons now, he had always been able to pull all sorts of strings.
She finished showering and was ready to go to bed when her phone suddenly rang. It was from an unknown number.
She pressed the answer button and a chilly voice sounded. “Come over. My room is dirty and needs cleaning.”
“…”
Cate took a deep breath. Now, just listening to that voice was enough for her to burst into anger.
He wanted her to clean in the middle of the night? He could dream on.
“Sorry, you’ve called the wrong number. I think it’s more appropriate for you to call the housekeeping company,” she said and almost hung up.
Shaun laughed. “Sure, I’ll just send that wonderful video of the Yule family’s precious daughter wearing a bunny costume. It should be able to make headlines tomorrow morning.”
Then, he hung up.
Cate held her head in pain and cursed him and all his ancestors before driving to Oasis International where he stayed.
Oasis International was located in the most prosperous area in the city center. The price of one square foot of land could sell for hundreds of thousands, and Shaun had a 400 square foot penthouse here.
She opened the door with the key and went in. In the bright living room, Shaun was sitting on the beige leather sofa with his arms resting on the backrest. His raised arms and feet made him emit a kingly aura. He gave off a lazy but elegant vibe.
Without even looking at him, Cate went straight to the kitchen to find cleaning tools. Even after searching for a long time, she could not find any. She went to the balcony.
Shaun had sat on the sofa for a while now, and his face was gradually becoming colder.
What was going on?
Why was she not scolding him for giving the plot of land to Fergus Wicks as soon as she saw him? Why was she not begging him?
The script was different from what he imagined, and he got up coldly to walk over to her.
Cate finally found the broom on the balcony. When she turned around, she collided hard against his chest. Her nose hurt as if it was broken. “Eldest Young Master, what are you doing?”
“That’s my line.” Shaun felt like he had been poisoned by her. He got even more annoyed when he could not see her upset.
“Didn’t you tell me to clean up the place? It’s very late now, so I just want to get this over with and go to sleep. Please get out of the way.” Cate went around him and began to clean up the living room seriously.
Shaun watched her sweep the floor carefully and really wanted to rush over to throw away the broom.
That stupid woman! Did she really think that he called her over here to clean the place? “Cate Cox, don’t you have anything to say to me?”
If she could beg and please him to his satisfaction, he would consider going back on his promise to Melanie and give her back that plot of land.
Cate paused and shook her head. “No.”
Shaun stared at her for a while and ordered in a cold voice, “Go and clean the bathtub before filling it for me. I want to take a bath.”
“…”
Cate resignedly put down the broom and went upstairs. The bathtub was huge, around two meters wide, and embedded in the ground.
She could only take a rag and kneel to wipe it down.
When Shaun walked in, he saw her kneeling on the floor in a very provocative position. Her clothes had ridden up, revealing her small waist and skin that was like satin as it glistened brightly.
His eyes darkened, and he was just about to walk over when her phone rang.
Cate did not notice him standing behind her and took out her phone. The name Wesley Sanderson flashed on the screen.
She was hesitating on whether to answer the call. After all, this was Shaun’s house, which made her feel guilty.
She muted it and decided to ignore it, but a hand behind her suddenly took away her phone.
Cate jumped in shock and looked back. Shaun played with her phone while staring at the name on the screen. A mocking smile spread on his lips. “Shouldn’t you answer your fiancé’s call?”
“Shaun Lyons, give me back my phone!” Cate quickly reached out to grab it, but he had lifted it high enough that she could not reach it.
“Anxious?” Shaun’s eyes were like ice as his sneer grew wider. “Are you afraid that your fiancé will find out that you’re with me this late at night?”
“Are you done?” Cate was really angry now.
“Do you care that much about him?” Shaun’s eyes narrowed, and he directly pressed the answer button. Wesley’s warm voice sounded from the other end.
