The red wine in the glass spilled all over the white T-shirt on her chest.
The part of her shirt that got wet stuck to her chest tightly, revealing her impressive curves and the faint lines beneath.
Cate screamed. She turned back angrily and saw Shaun’s angry yet handsome face.
“Shaun, are you crazy?”
After glaring at him, Cate quickly took a tissue to wipe the stains on her shirt.
However, no matter how hard she wiped, it still stuck to her chest tightly. It made her shirt look transparent and awkward.
“Wear this.” Joseph immediately took her windbreaker and wanted to cover her shoulders with it, but Shaun’s large hands stopped him from doing so. Shaun’s deep eyes were staring at him in a warning.
“President Lyons, don’t you already have a girlfriend? You’re meddling in too much.” Joseph smiled calmly.
“You should ask Cate the reason why I’m meddling in her affairs.” Shaun grabbed the windbreaker and threw it on Cate. “Wear it and button it up.”
As he spoke, his glance swept across Cate. His eyes became heated up.
He had never expected her to be so sexy.
Thinking that he was the one who bought the undergarments she wore underneath, an indescribable feeling welled in his heart.
“What bad luck did I have in my last life that I have to meet you in this lifetime?”
His arrogant tone made Cate feel a rush of fury.
“That’s what I’m curious about too.” Shaun noticed that her curves could still be seen as she had not buttoned the top button. He suddenly felt upset and helped her to button it up. The softness he felt beneath his hand was like a feather tickling his heart.
What on earth was that woman like in her last lifetime? Had she been a temptress?
“Shaun, why did you come?”
When Chase, who went to refill another plate of oysters, returned, his eyes almost dropped from their sockets when he saw that scene. He looked around hastily and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was only Shaun. He did not want to bump into Rodney, Sarah, and the rest. There was only endless sarcasm whenever they met.
“Weren’t you guys going to the clubhouse? Aren’t you accompanying Sarah?” He added two more sentences.
That made Shaun’s expression darken. “Why? Hasn’t she told you guys even though you’ve been hanging out for so long already?”
He turned his head toward Cate and raised his eyebrows. “Where’s your marriage certificate? Don’t you like to bring it along everywhere? Take it out and let them have a look.”
“…”
Cate was speechless. “Don’t you feel any shame when saying this out loud? Never mind that you’re hooking up with another woman when you aren’t even divorced yet, but you’re even working together with your lover to go against my company and bring me down. Shame on you.”
“You clearly know that I have no feelings for you. It was you who kept clinging to me. You even tried to hurt Sarah. It serves you right!”
Shaun showed no consideration in his words at all. Chase was used to it, but Joseph was bothered hearing his words. “I didn’t know that the words of Australia’s wealthiest man, the President Lyons whom everyone respects, would be so shocking.”
“Who do you think you are to point your fingers at me?” Shaun’s thin lips showed a mocking smile. “You can’t possibly like her right?”
Joseph said gently, “Isn’t it normal to like her? Cate is outstanding and pretty. As long as she’s willing to date me, I can accept her any time, unlike a certain someone who’s like a dog in the manger.”
Cate was surprised, but she understood immediately when she saw Joseph blinking at her in secret. Her heart warmed.
Shaun clenched his fists. His anger made Chase suspect that he would lunge at someone at any second.
Chase quickly went between the two men. “Shaun, calm down. Joseph is just joking.”
“I wasn’t joking, though.” Joseph smirked.
Shaun, who was being provoked again, narrowed his gaze. He sneered, “It’s too bad she’s unwilling. It’s her who refuses to get divorced now.”
After he spoke, he pulled Cate to him and stared at her sharply. “Say your thoughts. Do you want to divorce me?”
Cate grinned. “I do.”
Shaun’s face stiffened. His blazing eyes looked as though he wanted to eat her alive.
She had adamantly refused to get proof of divorce just a few days ago. However, now that she had another man, she wanted to leave him immediately.
“But not now,” Cate continued saying, “You and Sarah tortured me and made my life a living hell. I came back after three years, yet Sarah still did countless stupid acts. Tell her to dream on if she thinks I would surrender the position of Young Madam Lyons so easily.”
Joseph immediately poured a glass of wine for her and put on an affectionate expression. “I’ll support you no matter what you do. I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Thank you.” Cate was about to hold the wine glass.
However, she was yanked down from the chair by Shaun before she even touched the glass.
“Leave with me.”
“That won’t do. The nightlife is just starting.” Joseph grabbed Cate’s other hand.
“Let go. If you mess with me, I can still cause harm to Talton Design even if I can’t ruin it. It doesn’t matter that you’re in a different industry,” Shaun warned.
The gazes of the two men clashed with each other. Cate turned toward Joseph helplessly and said in a soft voice, “Joseph, I’m sorry. I’ll treat you to another meal next time.”
“You’re not allowed to eat with him again,” Shaun uttered another warning.
“…”
Joseph laughed and ignored Shaun’s words. “Okay, next time. Be careful and call me if anything happens. I’ll always be by your side.”
“Thank—” Cate had not finished talking yet when she was lifted onto Shaun’s shoulders and carried out.
Chase gave Joseph a thumbs up. “You’re amazing. You dare to go against Shaun so openly. You’re really not scared of him.”
“I’m in architecture and he’s in technology. Even if he wants to destroy me, who’s in another industry, that’ll take some planning. It won’t be that easy.” Joseph shrugged his shoulders calmly.
“Too bad you’re not an actor.”
“Why do you say I’m acting? Can’t I be serious about it?” Joseph raised his eyebrows in a teasing manner.
Chase was taken aback. “No way… You’re serious?”
“Men always desire beautiful women,” Joseph said while grinning, “Although I know that I can’t have her, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s my sweetheart.”
…
Cate was thrown into the car by Shaun.
When she fell, it was as if her organs had almost fallen out of her as well.
The canvas shoe on her foot dropped under the car when she fell.
“My…” She clambered to pick them up but she only heard Shaun close the door hard.
The door was quickly locked, and she could not open it no matter how much she tried.
Shaun sat on the driver’s seat. He stepped on the accelerator and sped off.
“Shaun, stop the car. My shoe fell off.” Cate went over and pulled on him.
“Don’t try to trick me. I know you just want to go back and look for Joseph, don’t you?” Shaun had a raging fire inside of him. “Cate Cox, why are you such a b*tch? I was wondering how you managed to sign a collaboration with Hazle Group and Talton Design, and it turns out that you relied on your looks and body. You’re shameless, but I’m not.”
“What did you say?” Cate widened her eyes.
Shaun sneered, “Do you need a clearer explanation from me? With your ability, would Hazle Group even consider Hudson Corporation if you hadn’t had some shady exchange? You really have some tricks up your sleeve. You made Joseph fall for you and he doesn’t even think you’re dirty.”
Cate took a deep breath. Although she knew that no good words could come out of his nasty mouth, she wanted to hit him to death with her shoe when he accused her in such a filthy way.
In fact, she really did it.
She quickly took off the remaining shoe on her foot and smacked it across his face without hesitation.
Shaun, who never thought she would be so daring, got hit right in the face by the sole of her shoe.
The car even rocked along with his fiery temper.
“Cate, I think you must be tired of living.” He snatched the shoe and threw it out of the window in a fury. If he were not driving at that moment, he would definitely teach her a lesson.
“Who asked you to say filthy words?” Cate felt strangely satisfied when she saw the shoe print on his handsome face. “Shaun, you lost my shoes. You have to compensate me with another pair.”
Shaun sneered, “Why? You want me to compensate you with a pair of shoes for you to wear in front of Sarah and say that I bought them for you to hurt her? Cate, what a good plan you have.”
“If you don’t want to hurt her, you should let me go and not get tangled up with me over here in the middle of the night.” Cate looked forward, and it did not seem like it was the way back to her home. “Shaun, where are you taking me?”
“Inappropriate women like you are better off locked up so that you can’t embarrass me and cheat on me.”
Cate felt the cold reaching her bones. “You’re confining me again?”
“You brought this upon yourself,” Shaun retorted.
She recalled the days she had been locked up three years ago.
Cate rushed forward and grabbed the steering wheel as if she was insane.
