Shaun took a cigarette. He did not light it right away but played with it first. His brows furrowed deeply, conveying a sense of coldness.
Old Madam Lyons let out a sigh. “Today, Melanie told me that it’s Old Master Yule’s birthday next week. She’s planning to invite some relatives and friends to have a meal together. She really hopes that you can make it. If you deny your connections with her at this point, her mom will most probably have to go through with the divorce.”
Shaun pretended to turn a deaf ear to it. He took out a matchbox and playfully lit his cigarette.
“What do you plan on doing? Are you going to attend the celebration?” Old Madam Lyons raised her voice out of annoyance. “If you’re not into Melanie, go on a blind date with someone. Anyway, you have to get married this year.”
“I’m going to attend it. Since you’ve made it so clear, I have to go.”
Shaun smiled weakly and rose to his feet. “It’s already late. Have a good sleep.”
“That’s more like it.” Old Madam Lyons was finally satisfied with his reply. She then returned to her room to rest.
…
Soon, the day of Old Master Yule’s birthday arrived.
He had turned 68, but he did not want to celebrate his birthday on a grand scale. He only hired a well-known chef from overseas and set up several tables in the hotel.
Those who were invited to the celebration included those business partners whom he had worked with for years as well as some friends and relatives.
At 11:00 a.m., Joel came together with Cate and Wesley. He then made a proper introduction. “This is my daughter’s fiancé. He’s also the president of Golden Corporation.”
“Golden Corporation? What company is that? I’ve never heard of it,” Aunty Irene from the Yule family spoke with an undertone of disdain.
Wesley smiled calmly and said, “Golden Corporation is a pharmaceutical group involved in science, industry, and technology. We also have foreign branches. We’ve just set up our business in Canberra and built a new factory of 5,000 square feet in an economic zone recently. So far, we’ve managed to obtain a fund of 50 billion dollars to officially plan our project in the coastal area.”
Everyone was stunned. The economic zone in Canberra had been developing rapidly so far. Considering that he could plan the project in advance and carry it out successfully, it meant this young man was intelligent.
President Warner said, “Old Master Yule, your grandson-in-law is promising. The pharmaceutical field is increasingly well regarded and capable of offering excellent prospects.”
The compliment lifted Old Master Yule’s mood. Previously, Old Master Yule had looked down on Wesley seeing as he came from Melbourne. However, he was quite happy now. “Haha, yeah. My granddaughter has great taste. When they get married, I’ll definitely invite you.”
Cate was speechless. Her grandfather was indeed a snob.
Nevertheless, she did not expect that her relationship with Wesley would develop so quickly. He had gained a foothold in Canberra even faster than her.
“By the way, Old Master Yule, I heard that you have another granddaughter who’s Elder Young Master Lyons’s girlfriend. Why don’t I see her here?” President Curley asked eagerly. “Elder Young Master Lyons is coming today, right?”
Old Master Yule’s face turned stiff. In fact, he was not sure about it either.
At that moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Everyone turned their gaze in that direction. The tall and handsome Shaun walked in from the entrance. He was wearing a striped dark green suit that was custom-made by a top international designer. He exuded an aura of brilliance that was typical of a high-ranked man like himself. Donned in a red dress, Melanie hooked her arm through Shaun’s with an endearing look on her face.
The two of them were well matched. It seemed as if they were walking on a red carpet.
Behind them were Nicola and Fergus who were grinning from ear to ear.
Nicola and Fergus were really complacent. At first, Shaun was not at all bothered about Melanie. However, Melanie visited the Lyons household every day, ultimately persuading him to attend Old Master Yule’s birthday celebration.
What did this mean? It meant that Shaun was ready to disclose his relationship with Melanie to the public.
Melanie would soon get married to Shaun. In that respect, the Wicks family would attain a much higher rank.
“Hey, Melanie. Why didn’t you inform me that Elder Young Master Lyons is back?” Old Master Yule quickly went to Melanie in a euphoric manner.
Shaun and Melanie were mobbed and sought after by all the guests present. The guests also tried to butter them up.
“Elder Young Master Lyons, you and Melanie are indeed a perfect match for each other.”
“Elder Young Master Lyons, it’s my honor to be able to meet you.”
“Madam Yule, you’re truly blessed to have such a lovely daughter.”
“…”
In contrast, none of the guests went to talk to Cate. A look of astonishment washed over Wesley’s face. “Cate, he’s…”
“Yeah.” Cate knew what he was thinking. She nodded and frowned deeply.
Little did she expect that Shaun would accompany Melanie to attend her grandfather’s birthday celebration.
As Joel and Nicola were going through a divorce now, Shaun showed up with someone from the Wicks family, clearly indicating his support for Melanie.
Fergus had nearly killed Cate last time.
Nevertheless, Shaun still attended for the sake of the Wicks family.
All of a sudden, Cate experienced a chill. Her heart was shivering from coldness, but she tried her best to suppress her anger.
From today onward, she would be in opposition to him.
However, how would she be able to defeat Elder Young Master Lyons who was high up and regarded as the most brilliant figure in Australia?
Upon noticing Cate’s increasingly pale face and spaced-out look, Wesley suddenly stretched out his hand and held her waist. He said thoughtfully, “Even if it’s Elder Young Master Lyons, I won’t let go of you. It’s too late for you to regret, Cate.”
Stunned, Cate bit her lip. “You’re overthinking it. It just ran through my mind that it’ll be more difficult to deal with Nicola since he’s taking the Wicks family’s side.”
Wesley hesitated. “Don’t stress yourself out. You just came to Canberra not long ago. Take it easy.”
“Alright.” Cate was absent-minded.
She wished she could take it easy too.
Nevertheless, once Shaun married Melanie, it would be even harder to destroy the Wicks family.
…
Shaun, who was mobbed by the crowd, casually turned his eyes to Cate. He saw Wesley holding her waist, and she seemed to be in Wesley’s arms.
That scene caused a sharp pain in Shaun’s eyes.
Shaun continued to wear a smile, but his gaze was so cold that it appeared to be frozen. Even the guests around him could feel the coldness that his eyes revealed.
Old Master Yule was under the impression that Shaun was annoyed by the large crowd that mobbed him, so he immediately said, “Elder Young Master, come and sit on the seat of honor. The dishes will be served shortly.”
Shaun strode toward the seat of honor and sat down. Melanie was then seated beside him.
Old Master Yule directly pushed Joel toward Nicola and made him sit beside her. He also warned Joel in a low voice, “Elder Young Master is here. It means that he cares about Melanie. If you dare get a divorce, I’ll kill myself in front of you.”
Boiling with anger, Joel felt that his chest hurt so much that he could not say a word.
“Cate, come over here with Wesley.” Old Madam Yule waved at Cate.
As Cate and Wesley were walking in that direction, Shaun glanced at Wesley lazily. “You’re…?”
Joel immediately said, “He’s Cate’s fiancé from Golden Corporation…”
