Lyons Corporation.
In the conference room early in the morning.
Shaun looked at his phone, his cold eyes tinged with a smile.
Hoodlum?
Why did that word sound so nice to hear?
The executives were shocked when they saw him on his phone during the meeting. The president was even smiling so dotingly. They felt like their jaws were about to drop to the table from shock.
In the first seat on the right row, Liam’s eyes flashed deeply. The Shaun Lyons in his memories was cold and cruel, but this person in front of him seemed different. Was it because of a woman?
Liam smiled in concern. “Brother, are you chatting with Ms. Yule? I heard that you’re getting married soon.”
Realization dawned on the executives. So that was it! They did not expect Ms. Yule to be so favored by him. It seemed like they would have to curry favor with her in the future.
“Start the meeting.” Shaun put down his phone and continued to host the meeting with a straight face.
An hour later, he returned to the office.
Hadley entered and said, “Young Master, Ms. Yule is downstairs and says she wants to meet you. It’s probably to talk about the land.”
“I’m busy. Tell her to leave,” Shaun ordered without even lifting his head.
Hadley was speechless. Of course, he could not tell her that so bluntly. He could only tell her tactfully that Eldest Young Master Lyons was busy, so she should go back.
Melanie, who had failed to meet Shaun, felt desperate. She never thought that he would brush her off so simply.
Was Eldest Young Master Lyons not helping her because he was dissatisfied with her? Was it because he did not want her to take the position of Mrs. Lyons?
No. Everyone knew that Eldest Young Master Lyons had invited her to dance at the party. If she did not get married to him, she would be laughed at until she died.
Just as she was at a loss, Old Madam Lyons suddenly called her. “Melanie, today is Women’s Day. Shaun got someone to fly in a bluefin tuna from abroad as well as foie gras from Country F. Bring your family over for dinner. It’s also time for the parents of both families to meet formally.”
Good fortune came too quickly, and Melanie was ecstatic. “Yes, I’ll definitely come.”
She thought that Shaun had refused to let her enter the company because he disliked her, but she did not expect that he had already arranged for their families to meet. It seemed like she was just imagining things.
…
In the Lyonss’ manor.
Old Madam Lyons hung up the phone in satisfaction. Old Master Lyons shook the newspaper and snorted. “You’re making arrangements by yourself again. Shaun will lecture you again later.”
“I just want him to give me a great-grandson in this life.” Old Madam Lyons huffed. “If I wait for him to take the initiative, I think I’ll never see him get married in my lifetime. Just look at how many times he’s taken the initiative with Melanie.”
“It’s not that bad.” Old Master Lyons did not agree. “He’s a person with lasting affection.”
“Yes, he hasn’t moved on from Sarah, but he can’t delay anymore. The Yule family isn’t bad either.”
After sighing, Old Madam Yule told the kitchen to begin preparations.
…
On the other end, Melanie immediately told Nicola about the dinner after returning home.
“It seems that God is also favoring us.”
Nicola was also very excited, but it did not take long for her to calm down. “Call Cate and tell her to join as well.”
Melanie got angry. “Mom, you’re crazy. How could we call her—”
“You don’t get it. This is a good opportunity to ruin her.” Nicola looked at her. “We’ll destroy her in front of the Lyons family and completely ruin her future. You forgot that I’m friends with Valerie Lyons.”
Melanie’s eyes brightened in realization. “Mom, I’ll support you. We can’t let her continue to be in Canberra anymore.”
…
Hudson Corporation.
After Cate told General Manager Wolfe to handle the plot of land as soon as possible, she received a call from Joel.
As soon as she heard that the Lyons family had invited the Yule family to their manor for dinner this evening, her face suddenly turned pale.
This was Shaun throwing Melanie some sweet carrots after being guilty that he spared Cate.
Women were emotional creatures. On the way to the company today, she did some thinking and thought that Shaun actually did not care about Melanie.
However, the turn of events seemed to have given her a slap on the face.
The two families were about to meet. Did that mean they would be discussing marriage?
But what was she doing last night? She was just the shameful third party.
“Cate, did you hear me?” Joel asked again after Cate did not reply for a long time.
“Dad, I’m not going.” Cate refused in a low voice. “My status isn’t worthy, and the Lyons family wouldn’t want me there.”
“Melanie said that the old madam already knows who you are, so it’ll be rude if you don’t go.” Joel sighed. “Just go. It’s a good opportunity to introduce yourself to the Lyons family and then expand your circle among the upper class in Canberra. Besides, Old Madam Lyons is different from others. She’s very kind.”
“Alright.”
Cate smiled wryly but also found it strange in her heart. Melanie and Nicola should not want her to go tonight. It seemed like tonight’s trip to the Lyons family would not be smooth for her.
…
4:30 p.m.
As soon as she entered the house, Nicola greeted her warmly, “We’re going to have dinner with the Lyons family tonight. Your usual clothes are too shabby, so I bought two sets of clothes for you and Melanie at the mall today. I left it on your bed, so go get changed.”
Cate’s brows raised. After going upstairs, she did not expect Nicola to have bought her a set of Fendi clothes from the latest spring line. The neckline had crystal and gold ornaments, and when she casually checked on her phone, she saw that this set of clothes cost seven figures.
Tsk, what was Melanie up to now? It seemed like she really went all out for tonight.
She did not understand what Nicola was up to at first, but when she saw Melanie who was wearing a simple purple shirt with a knitted vest and an innocent face, she seemed to understand everything.
Joel frowned. “Isn’t Melanie dressed too plainly?”
“That’s the whole point. The old madam likes it when people are frugal. Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll be late.” Nicola took Joel’s hand and walked to the car park.
…
The Lyons family’s villa was located halfway up the mountain and also had the best scenery in the whole of Sherman Mountain.
The large estate had a horse-racing track, a golf course, a basketball court, a badminton court, an airstrip…
Even Cate, who had seen the diverse aspects of society, felt overwhelmed by the surroundings.
