Manager Howard quickly said, “President Lyons, you really have to stand up for Miss Neeson this time. She was only here to hand me some documents. She was reminding me of the extra details when Chairwoman Cox came over to say that Miss Neeson was putting on a show and being gross. Not to mention she was implying that we’re wasting time by chatting. She even… She even…”
“Speak.” Shaun’s narrowed eyes were filled with danger.
Manager Howard said through gritted teeth, “She even boasted that the undergarments she’s wearing today were… bought by you.”
Sarah lowered her head as tears streamed down her cheeks.
“I can explain that. Sarah, don’t you know how I feel about you by now? I feel sick even taking another glance at this woman now.”
He was flustered, not expecting that his impulse decision last night would hurt Sarah.
All of a sudden, he gave Cate a piercing glare.
The employees who had gathered around to check out the commotion appeared surprised.
As it turned out, President Lyons had no feelings for Chairwoman Cox anymore. He was even disgusted by her.
Oh no, they should have tried harder to please Sarah instead of supporting Cate.
Some of them really regretted their choices.
“…”
Cate had no words to reply.
Not only was she speechless, but she also felt like laughing at the ridiculous situation.
She felt stupid for not recording their conversation earlier.
Look, the executives of her own corporation were siding with Sarah to accuse her.
“Cate, I even thought of helping you out on the construction company incident since we used to be husband and wife. But I’ll not do that anymore.” The man’s tone was as cold as ice. “From today onward, I’ll make sure the public knows that I’m no longer related to Hudson Corporation. Besides, anyone who dares to help you will be openly challenging myself.”
Then, he stomped out of the company without looking back while still holding Sarah close.
“President Lyons, please wait.” Director Irvine and the rest quickly chased after him.
However, Shaun ignored them completely and sped off in his car.
The board members were infuriated and ran back to scold Cate, “I don’t care what you want to do but why bring the company down with you? Look at what you’ve done! A quick word from President Lyons and no one will dare to do business with us again.”
“A person like you doesn’t deserve to be the chairperson. Get out of here!” Director Wolfe shouted.
The other employees also began talking behind her back.
“What is she doing here? The corporation was going uphill under President Neeson’s leadership. I even got hundreds of thousands of dollars in year-end bonuses in recent years.”
“How unlucky that we’re stuck with this kind of chairperson.”
“Well, we should quit soon and find a job somewhere else before it’s too late.”
“Now that you’ve said it, then I have to get ready as well.”
“…”
Cate dug her ears and sighed. “I feel quite sorry to everyone too. I didn’t know that my return would harm so many people. I’ll go back and think of other ways.”
“Get lost. Don’t come back anymore.” DIrector Irvine was so angry to the point that he did not want to show her any courtesy. “Of course, we might give you a chance if you kneel down and beg for President Lyons and Ms. Neeson’s forgiveness.”
“That’s impossible. I’d rather the company fall apart than lower my head to that b*tchy couple.”
Cate stubbornly said that and left amid everyone’s criticisms.
When she arrived home, she slowly started making a cup of coffee. Harvey was on the verge of kneeling and crying to beg her.
“President Cox, the companies that are working together with our corporation are calling to break off our partnerships. Please think of a plan.”
“Don’t be hasty.” Cate stirred her coffee. “Harvey, I’m giving you a chance to skyrocket to the top now.”
“What chance? Are you sure it won’t make me plummet instead?” Harvey was close to tears.
Cate shot him an icy glare. She took a black card out from her wallet and threw it at him. “There are ten billion dollars in it. In two days, get back all the shares from the shareholders of Hudson Corporation.”
Harvey almost went weak in the knees. “Director Cox, why do you have so much cash?”
It was incredible. What had really happened to her in those three years?
“Do you want to grab this chance?” Cate asked.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Harvey was utterly impressed. “At this moment, the shareholders must be in a panic. If there’s someone willing to buy the shares, they’ll definitely sell them off at a low price. Ten billion dollars is more than enough. But Director Cox, if we buy the shares, you’ll become the sole shareholder of the company. You’ll have absolute control, but with President Lyons oppressing the company, Hudson Corporation will have no future. Why do you want to waste this money…”
“Who said there’s no future?” Cate gave him a sideways glance. “I’ve already contacted a construction company. I’m just taking this opportunity to transform the company. From now onward, I don’t want to listen to anybody who wants to go against me in the corporation.”
Harvey was astonished.
This was the first time he deeply felt that Cate was different from before.
…
At night, a few men gathered to play poker at the presidential suite of a hotel.
Rodney played a King card. “I heard that Hudson Corporation’s shareholders are selling off their shares at low prices.”
Shaun was knocking on the table indifferently. “Selling them off is their only way of surviving. Nobody can save Cate this time.”
Chester lit a cigarette. “Come to think of it, haven’t you been feeling guilty toward her during these three years? What did she do to piss you off?”
Shaun’s fingers stiffened. After a while, he said, “She threatened me with the marriage certificate. She has a death wish.”
“Aren’t you afraid that if she threatens you again, Sarah will…”
“It’s useless. I’m definitely giving her a lesson this time,” Shaun said. He was expressionless.
“I reckon she’s past saving then. I heard that the construction sites under Hudson Corporation have stopped working for five days. They’ve lost over a billion dollars. Many people who bought the properties are demanding a refund.” Rodney tsked and played his last card. “I win. Pay up.”
As Shaun threw his cash out, he looked at his phone beside him unconsciously. Was that woman not calling to beg for forgiveness and admit to her mistakes yet?
However, begging for forgiveness would be useless now. Cate should never have hurt Sarah.
The next morning.
At the seaside villa.
The maids served breakfast on the table. Sarah poured a glass of hot milk for Shaun gracefully. She then said hesitantly, “It’s already the sixth day. I guess Hudson Corporation is having a hard time holding on.”
Shaun’s dark eyes glanced at her. “You’re just too soft-hearted.”
Sarah laughed bitterly. “I’ve worked there for two years, after all.”
“Let’s have breakfast.” Shaun peeled a boiled egg for her.
“Shaunic,” Sarah said with mixed feelings, “Do you really have no feelings for Cate? You’ve never accompanied me to shop for underwear before. I’ve been trying to persuade myself these days but it’s still hard for me to accept it. Every time I think about it, my heart hurts so much that I can’t breathe.”
“Nope.” Shaun denied it bluntly. “I’m sorry. I’ll never do anything that’s misleading anymore.”
“Okay,” Sarah replied with a forced smile.
Shaun had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He swore to punish Cate more severely and treat Sarah better.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, Hudson Corporation’s shares reached the limit as soon as the stock market opened this morning,” Hadley suddenly entered and spoke in a low voice.
“What’s going on?” Shaun threw a sharp glance at him.
Hadley blinked. “At 7:00 a.m. this morning, Hazle Group announced a collaboration with Hudson Corporation on its global website.”
