“It’s okay, Mr. Cameron.” Charlie gave a profound smile. “I’m guessing she’s not going to be Young Madam Lyons anymore soon enough. As far as I know, Ms. Cox has been kicked out of the house by Eldest Young Master Lyons. I heard that she was even hurriedly searching for a house to buy and move into a few days ago.”
Mr. Cameron understood his words. The look he gave Cate was no longer respectful, and it was even filled with disdain.
“Young Master Campos, you’re so well-informed.” Cate wiped her mouth and shot Charlie a sharp gaze. “You even know more than the media. Could it be that you had a spy placed outside my manor?”
Charlie harrumphed. “Who doesn’t know that Shaun brought a caregiver who looks similar to his ex-girlfriend home a few days ago to take care of him?”
“You’re so ridiculous.” Melanie’s expression was full of sarcasm. “Shaunarah, Shaunarah, does that not mean Shaun and Sarah? Look at your hideous face. You must’ve really thought that you could occupy the position of Young Madam Lyons permanently. But I have to thank you as well. If you hadn’t snatched Shaun away, I wouldn’t have been able to meet my Charlie who truly treasures me.”
Charlie patted Melanie’s hair smugly even though he had not liked Melanie that much previously.
However, Joel was not around anymore, so Melanie was the heir to Yule Corporation. He could not be more satisfied.
The Yule family and the Campos family would merge soon. Shaun would be nothing by then.
“Mr. Cameron, I think her seat by the window isn’t bad,” Melanie said while pointing at Cate’s table.
“Then make her get lost and go to another table,” Charlie ordered arrogantly.
Without further ado, Mr. Cameron had a waiter move Cate’s things to a table by the wall at the corner of the cafe. “Ms. Cox, please have your meal over there.”
“You guys are…”
Cate shook her head helplessly and stood up.
Melanie smiled smugly at her. “Cate Cox, do you see this? You’ll never beat me. I’m the vice president of Yule Corporation now. Next week, I’ll get married to Charlie. By that time, the Campos and the Yule families will become a powerful team. No one in Australia will dare to say anything no matter what I do.”
“Oh, congratulations then.” Cate stood up slowly. “But Dad is still lying on the hospital bed and it’s still uncertain whether he’ll live or die. But you’re still in the mood to get married?”
“Melanie just wants to bring Uncle Joel some luck,” Charlie answered before Melanie.
“Sounds like you care about Dad a lot, but I’ve never seen you visit Dad even once after he fell into a coma. That’s so filial of you.” Cate gave a fake smile.
“Whether I go or not is none of your business.”
Melanie sneered, “What about you? You obtained the rights to take care of Dad, but so what? Yule Corporation is mine, and everything that Dad owns belongs to me. You’ve got nothing to do with it. I heard that Doctor Angelo is dead. Nobody can save Dad now. You can hug his body for the rest of your life.”
“Look at your tone. It seems like you’re not sad at all that Doctor Angelo is dead and Dad can’t wake up.” Cate tsked and raised her eyebrows.
Melanie’s throat was stuck for a moment. She said annoyedly, “Can you quickly get lost? Don’t disturb us from having our breakfast.”
“I hope you can continue being so cocky.”
Cate took out a few bills and threw them on the table. “I’ll give you guys the table, but next time… I won’t let it slide anymore.”
She took her bag and left after she finished talking.
Melanie sneered, “Next time? She’s really good at boasting.”
She paused for a moment and turned to look at Charlie. “You said there’s a woman who looks like Shaun’s ex-girlfriend by his side. Is that true?”
“You’re concerned about Shaun?” Charlie grabbed her hand and played with it. “You can’t possibly still care for him right?”
“Of course not. There’s only you in my heart now.” Melanie lowered her gaze and smiled. “I’m just curious.”
Charlie replied in the affirmative.
Not only that, Shaun’s illness had worsened. He even fainted a few days ago and was sent to the hospital in a hurry.
That person was truly amazing.
After Cate left, someone in a black car by the road called Shaun immediately.
“…Young Madam met Charlie Campos and Melanie Yule. They took her seat away from her.”
In front of the full-length window, Shaun plucked a leaf from the windowsill. “It’s time to punish these two people. Give them a grand present. As for that cafe, there’s no reason for it to operate anymore.”
…
At the cafe.
Charlie and Melanie were only halfway through their breakfast.
A group of officers from the Health Protection Service seized the restaurant. “Someone reported that they had a stomach ache after eating breakfast here. Therefore, the restaurant must be closed for investigation. All unrelated people should leave.”
The officers chased the people out of the restaurant. “Leave quickly.”
Melanie was exasperated. “I haven’t even finished eating yet. Do you know who I am?”
“I’m not interested in knowing who you are, but I know you’re getting in the way of my work.”
The officers chased them out and even threw their bags out.
Melanie kept exclaiming in anger, “I’ll report you guys!”
Charlie was not in a good mood either. “Don’t worry, I know some higher-ups. I can make those people lose their jobs with just a call.”
“Charlie, you’re amazing.” Melanie’s expression was full of admiration.
Charlie smirked and took his phone out. He was about to make the call when his secretary called him. “President Campos, we’re in trouble. Lyons Corporation’s legal department sent someone to Campos Corporation. They said that during these 20 years, the Campos family has taken a net profit of 80 billion from Lyons Corporation when the Campos and Lyons families had joint projects. Lyons Corporation has sent someone to demand their money back.”
“What?” Charlie’s expression changed drastically. “Is Shaun insane?”
“They brought the ledger. Everything was put down in black and white. They calculated all of it clearly.” The secretary smiled bitterly. “They shut our legal department down too.”
“Damn it!”
Charlie was infuriated.
He finally understood, from the incident at the breakfast restaurant to the problem with the company’s accounts.
All of this could not be a mere coincidence.
It had to be Shaun.
This Shaun was about to go crazy, yet he was not giving him a break.
Unfortunately, all of it was true.
All those years when Lea was in control, she had helped the Campos family a lot. She even collaborated with the Campos family on many joint projects. Usually, Lyons Corporation did not participate in the projects, so they basically shut their eyes and let the Campos family earn money. It was only a few days ago that they tightened their policies after Shaun assumed the position.
It was not that the Campos family did not have 80 billion. However, taking out such a large amount of money so suddenly would affect a huge project that the Campos family was about to start. That project could change the future of the Campos family. Therefore, they could not hand out the money.
…
Cate arrived at the company.
When General Manager Wolfe came to get her signature, he said uneasily, “I heard that… you’re living apart from Mr. Lyons and you’re getting ready… for a divorce?”
The pen that was signing something halted.
Cate raised her head calmly. “It’s being circulated like that outside?”
“Yes, some companies that had a verbal agreement with us previously canceled their collaborations with us. They’re not even picking up our company’s calls now.”
“Never mind. It’s profitable enough for us if we just focus on developing the building at the seaside.” Cate was not angry at all. “There are too many restless people in the company anyways. It’s better for everyone to stay grounded.”
“Okay.”
General Manager Wolfe had a regretful expression after he came out of the office.
He had thought Hudson Corporation’s position would skyrocket after having the backing of Eldest Young Master Lyons. It was unfortunate.
The atmosphere in the company was down the whole morning.
Even the employees at the reception desk were not excluded.
When it was nearly 12 p.m., a handsome, slender figure came walking from the entrance. At first glance, it was as if a top-tier celebrity had appeared. However, upon a closer look, that perfect, refined outline made the employees at the reception desk shudder.
They were looking right at the face that made Australia’s women swoon in front of the television too many times.
“Eldest… Eldest Young Master Lyons…”
