This scene was rather familiar. It reminded Cate of when she was arrested in Melbourne.
The only difference was that the person was Wesley this time.
The lawyer said, “Miss Cox, President Sanderson must have offended someone. He could’ve been bailed out for such a case. Since the police refuse to release him, I can’t do anything. Now there’s no leader in Golden Corporation, and the construction has come to a halt. If President Sanderson continues to stay in the detention center, Golden Corporation will be ruined within a week.”
Cate’s legs turned into jelly. She had figured out everything. The incident surely had to do with Shaun.
She thought that Hudson was safe and she had managed to escape danger. Instead, she had gotten Liam and Wesley into trouble.
She had never hated a man so deeply.
Shaun was truly despicable.
At that point, she bitterly regretted provoking a devil.
She was well aware of Shaun’s intention.
How was she going to face Wesley when he was out later?
Cate had difficulty falling asleep the entire night.
People from the Sanderson family kept calling her.
Amid her sobs, Old Madam Sanderson said, “Cate, you must save Wesley. You can ask your dad for help. If he remains detained, our family will be pushed to a tight corner.
“Cate, Wesley has only one kidney. He won’t be able to make it in the detention center.”
“…Don’t worry. I’ll find a way out.”
Cate promised Old Madam Sanderson in agony.
At the break of dawn, she headed to the office of Lyons Corporation by car.
Once she approached the receptionist, the security guard chased her out.
“Who do you think you are? Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry is allowed to meet our president.”
“Get out right now.”
The security guard closed the door straight away.
Cate had no choice but to wait outside. Only when the sky darkened did she finally see Shaun driving his car out of the car park.
She immediately drove her car to catch up to him.
The driver in the Rolls-Royce reminded Shaun, “President Lyons, there’s a white car following us.”
Shaun, who was flipping a document, paused a little and then replied indifferently, “Let it be.”
Half an hour later, the car arrived downstairs of the clubhouse.
“Stop here,” Shaun said while closing the document.
The driver was dazed. “But you usually enter through the elevator of the car park after I park the car.”
“…”
The driver’s question was not met with any response. Somehow, he began to feel intimidated and was finally aware that he had gone too far. He immediately parked the car.
Shaun directly opened the door and walked out. When he headed toward the main entrance, Cate ran over like lightning and blocked him.
“What are you planning to do?” The bodyguard blocked her when she was in front of Shaun. He was on high alert.
“Shaun, I want to have a word with you.” Cate’s dark eyes rested on Shaun whose hands were shoved in his pockets. He stared at Cate impassively with his outstanding features as if she was a stranger.
Even though the bodyguard had not seen Cate before, he directly approached her and pushed her to the ground abrasively as she was trying to capture Elder Young Master Lyons’s attention.
With a stony expression, Shaun lifted his long legs and walked upstairs.
Holding back the pain, Cate got to her feet and went after him. “Shaun, I’ll agree to all your demands from before as long as you stop making things difficult for Wesley and his company.”
His tall figure stopped. Shaun finally turned around and looked at her. He curved his mouth into an imperceptibly icy smile. “I don’t even know what demands I made before this.”
Cate was dazed. A moment later, her face turned pale.
She could not possibly outwardly voice her agreement to sleep with him. Putting aside the fact that they were currently under the public’s gaze, she would not even do that with only the two of them around.
After giving it a thought, she realized that he did not seem to have demanded anything that night. He had only given her options.
She bit her lip and dropped her eyes. Her low, hoarse voice sounded modest. “Elder Young Master Lyons, I was immature back then. You’re a magnanimous person, so please don’t get hung up on it.”
“So…?” Shaun turned around and took two steps forward. He stopped in front of her, his eyes expressing sarcasm. “Do you think that everything will be okay if I sleep with you since you’ve expressed your regret and guilt?”
Following his bluntness, Cate’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she was on the verge of tears.
“Tsk. You look great when you’re on the verge of tears. It arouses my sympathy.” Shaun gently touched her chin. “I’ll give you another chance. Come with me.”
Once he finished speaking, he entered the clubhouse.
Despite not knowing Shaun’s plan, Cate followed him into the clubhouse as she knew that it was the only chance to save Wesley. She then took the elevator up.
When the door of the private room was opened, five to six men were seen sitting inside. Some were plump, some were thin, and some were old.
The moment the men noticed Shaun’s arrival, they immediately stood up and fawned over him.
“Elder Young Master Lyons, you’re finally here.” A man with a belly could not stop looking at Cate once his eyes settled on her. “Elder Young Master Lyons, you even brought along a stunning beauty with you. You’re making us jealous.”
“President Gorman, you don’t have to be jealous. In fact, I deliberately got this beauty for you.” Shaun smiled faintly. Nevertheless, the statement came as a blow to Cate.
She stared incredulously at the handsome, elegant man who was chatting cheerfully. How could he treat her this way?
“Really?” President Warner was full of joy.
“Yeah. Thanks to you, the project in New Zealand could develop so quickly. With you visiting Canberra this time, it’s certainly a special occasion. I’ll definitely have to thank you.”
Shaun indifferently gestured to Cate with his eyes. “Go and accompany President Warner now.”
“You…” Cate’s thin lips turned pale and quivered. Clearly, she was still unable to resign herself to the situation.
Shaun approached her and said beside her ear in a devilish tone, “Get lost if you can’t accept it.”
“…”
With that, he sat on the seat of honor. Looking at his tall figure, Cate felt as if a hole was cut in her chest and it was dripping with blood.
On her way here, she had been under the impression that he cared about her regardless of his behavior. She thought that he was just trying to force her to be with him again.
Considering everything that was happening at the moment, she was completely clear-headed now.
If he was truly in love with her, he would not be ruining her and pushing her into the abyss.
At that point, she felt the strong urge to run away as far as she could from the man.
Having said that, what would happen to Wesley if she left?
Would he be locked up forever?
Her conscience would really bother her if she left now.
“Hi, President Warner.” She struggled to give a ghastly smile and sat beside President Warner.
