“Why does it matter to me if he’s finished?” Cate looked at Hadley with hatred in her eyes. “What did I do wrong? I can ignore the fact that others call me a mistress and curse me for being a b*tch, but now my face is ruined. If it weren’t for Shaun Lyons, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Elle said helplessly, “If something happens to Second Miss, Eldest Young Master will be finished. But the Lyons family won’t let you off either, as well as your friends and company.”
Cate gritted her teeth.
She despised Shaun, yet she had to plead for mercy on his behalf. How ridiculous.
Forget it. Who could she blame? She was the one who chose this path, not wanting to leave.
Hadley hurriedly said, “Miss Cox, you can have your revenge later, but now’s not the time. You’re surrounded by enemies. Only Eldest Young Master and you are on the same boat now.”
“Fine, I’ll go.” Cate finally agreed.
In the closed hall.
Shaun entered.
Lea said angrily, “Now that you’ve saved Cate Cox, can you get lost? Don’t ever show your face in the manor. The Lyons family doesn’t have an ungrateful child like you. I’ll pretend that you were never born.”
Shaun’s dark eyes were not on her but Valerie, who was subconsciously hiding at the back.
Feeling his dark gaze, Valerie subconsciously turned toward the door.
“Third Aunt, I dare you to take another step.” Shaun pointed the gun at her back.
Valerie was so scared that her legs went weak. She hurriedly hid behind the Old Madam.
“Shaun Lyons, haven’t you had enough?” Old Madam Lyons was in disbelief. The heartache was visible in her eyes. “Are you going crazy again? How dare you point a gun at your aunt?”
“Shaun, you’re really sick. My mom didn’t do anything to you.” Queenie said in exasperation.
“Then ask her what she did.” Shaun walked towards Valerie. “Let me ask you. Why did you tell Aunt Connie to drug Cate’s porridge that’ll ruin her face?”
Everyone was stunned, and Liam was at a loss. “That’s impossible.”
“I asked Aunt Connie personally, and I also saw Cate’s face. She’s my woman. Do you know how important looks are to a woman?” Shaun’s hands were trembling from his rage. “How exactly did she offend you? What kind of grudge do you have against her?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t do anything.” Valerie hid behind the Old Madam and trembled.
“Don’t think I don’t know. It was Nicola Wicks and her daughter that told you to do it, right? You’re pretty close to them. What benefits did they promise you?” Shaun’s eyes burned with anger, as if he could lose his rationality at any moment..
Knowing that she could not hide the truth, Valerie gritted her teeth. “Fine, so what if I did it? Shaun, I’m your aunt. Are you going to kill me because of an outsider?”
“She’s not an outsider. She’s my woman. I won’t kill you, but I want you to compensate her with your face.”
Shaun walked towards Valerie step by step.
“You can’t do that.” Old Madam Lyons defended Valerie and said angrily, “Shaun, your aunt is my daughter. If you harm her, I’ll never forgive you.”
Spencer also spoke up. “Shaun, calm down. The medical field is very advanced now. We can just send her abroad and give her a new face.”
Lea was infuriated. “If you dare to harm your aunt, I’ll sever our mother-child relationship.”
“Do you really think that I care about our mother-child relationship?” Shaun shoved the Old Madam aside and pushed Valerie to the table. He picked up a fruit knife.
Valerie was so frightened that she trembled like a leaf. “Shaun, don’t do it. I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. I’ll apologize to Cate, okay?”
“Sure. Then, I’ll carve your face up and then apologize to you…” Shaun smiled darkly.
Valerie almost wet herself. “You psycho. I shouldn’t have taken you in back then.”
“That’s great, Aunt Valerie. I’ll definitely carve your face up beautifully.” Shaun’s eyes erupted with a crazy glint, and he swung the knife towards her face.
“Shaun, stop.”
Cate’s voice sounded from the doorway.
Everyone looked over to her and gasped when they saw her face clearly.
Old Master Lyons immediately ordered, “Cate, you’re just in time. Stop that lunatic.”
Cate frowned in disgust, but she still went over to take his arm.
“Get out,” Shaun ordered, not wanting her to see his ferocious side.
“I don’t need you to avenge me,” Cate said in a low voice. “Besides, it’s not her who truly wants to hurt me.”
“Yes yes yes, I was just momentarily possessed.” Valerie hurriedly followed up.
“I know that no matter who it is, I’ll pay them back, starting with her.” Shaun remained unmoved.
“She’s your family. I… don’t want you to lose your family because of me. I’m not worth it.” Cate stared into his eyes.
Shaun was taken aback.
Even though this woman’s appearance was destroyed, her words could still strike a chord within him as before.
“No, you’re worth it.”
He said in a low voice.
Cate paused for a moment before she lowered her eyes. “Think of your grandmother. If she sees her grandson harm her daughter, do you think she’ll be able to take it? After all, she’s already so old.”
Shaun froze and turned back to look at Old Madam Lyons, who was looking at him with pleading eyes.
The knife in his hand loosened, and Valerie hurriedly escaped as if she had been saved.
“Come on, let’s go home.”
Cate held his hand.
Home…
A trace of pain flashed across Shaun’s handsome face.
Once upon a time, this was his home.
However, the only place that felt like home now was with her.
“Okay.”
After a long time, he nodded. He held her and left the Lyons family without looking back.
When Valerie saw his silhouette disappear, she shuddered and said, “Mom, Dad, I think that Shaun must be ill again. He was so terrifying just now. It was just like when he used to hurt others…”
“Enough.” Old Madam Lyons slapped her face in disappointment. “How dare you have the nerve to say that? Did you not have enough from the Lyons family? How could you be bribed by outsiders?”
Liam angrily accused her as well. “Aunt Valerie, you’re too vicious.”
Shamed, Valerie clenched her fists in chagrin. She hated Shaun so much that her teeth ached.
She would get even with him.
…
The car drove on the bends of Sherman Mountain.
Hadley drove the car while Shaun kept staring at Cate’s profile.
Cate knew how horrible her face looked and was upset at his staring. “You don’t have to take what I said earlier seriously. I just didn’t want you to harm Valerie and fall out with the Lyons family. If something happens to you, I might get locked up in a cellar again or worse.”
“I know.”
