Shaun’s tall figure jerked.
He clenched his fists in spite of himself. He deepened his voice and asked, “Did Thomas push you three years ago?”
“Even if he did, so what? Would you have cared? He also beat up my friend and tried to harass her. You chose to threaten me with my dad for the sake of this woman. After so many years, don’t you feel guilty about it, Shaun? Well, I don’t think you do because you’re no different from Thomas. Both of you are just cruel devils.”
If Shaun had not helped Thomas over and over again, how would Thomas have the audacity to do such a thing now and end up hurting Suzie?
At the thought of her child’s pained look, Cate’s eyes reddened uncontrollably. She could not help but quake as well.
“You’d better keep an eye on Thomas. He ruined my house yesterday, so I ruined your place today. If he kills my friend tomorrow, I’m going to take your lives!”
Cate’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Deep down, Shaun felt extremely sulky for no apparent reason.
He disliked how she hated him. He even disliked her tearful appearance.
Soon, the police arrived.
“President Lyons, is she the one who drove into your house and made a mess?” The police walked toward Cate.
“It’s okay. I’m not going to pursue this matter,” Shaun suddenly replied.
“Shaunic.” Sarah bit her lip. “She almost—”
“I just said that I’m not going to pursue the matter.” Shaun turned around and got into the car without bothering to look at Sarah. He soon drove away and left.
“Shaunic.” As much as Sarah wanted to go after him, he had left her behind.
He completely forgot about his promise to accompany her to the hospital for her trigger shot.
“How do you feel now that your beloved man is giving you the cold shoulder?” Cate’s indifferent voice rang in Sarah’s ears.
Sarah turned around and stared at Cate’s pretty face. How she wished she could tear it apart.
“Cate Cox, don’t be so conceited. Shaun has only misunderstood my brother. Moreover, you were just criticizing Thomas without any evidence.”
Sarah soon pulled herself together. If Cate had evidence of Thomas’ doing, she would not have come here to kick up a fuss. Instead, she would have looked for Thomas and got him into trouble.
This time, Thomas had not asked Sarah for help. It meant that he was so well prepared that Cate could not do anything to him.
“Yeah, I have no evidence, but that doesn’t mean Shaun won’t look into it. Since it’s someone like your brother, do you think Shaun won’t suspect him? Shaun can definitely see through his little game.”
As soon as Cate finished speaking, Sarah’s face fell.
“Sarah Langley, you can hypnotize Shaun to fall for you, but you can’t change his character through hypnosis. He’s not a bad guy, but because of you, he puts up with Thomas again and again. One or two times is fine, but when he messes up for the third and fourth times, a lot of people out there will start criticizing him for aiding and abetting Thomas. What do you think Shaun will do then?”
Cate curved her lips upward and glanced around. “Also, this villa used to be Shaun’s and my home. You stole my place and are even using the bed I’ve slept on. Don’t you find it disgusting?”
With that, Cate directly headed toward her car without looking at Sarah’s nasty expression. She turned around and left.
Sarah fell into utter despair.
A moment later, she took out her phone to call Thomas. “Did you get people to mess up Cate’s house?”
“No, I only asked them to mess up Mireya’s place,” Thomas replied conceitedly.
Sarah lost her cool. “Mireya is now staying in Cate’s place, so you basically messed up Cate’s house! This morning, Cate came here to kick up a fuss.”
“How dare she go there?! You got Brother-in-law to deal with her, right?”
Thomas added unconcernedly, “Don’t worry. Those people I got to mess up the place were previously convicted of robbery and just got out of jail. The police will only treat them as recidivists and won’t suspect me. What’s more, I’ve offered them hush money, so they’ll keep it secret.”
Sarah took a deep breath and asked, “How did you give them the hush money?”
“I asked my assistant to transfer it into their families’ bank accounts.”
At that instant, Sarah was simmering with rage. “Are you a d*ckhead? Shaun can easily find out if he looks into it.”
“Will Brother-in-law look into this matter?” Thomas was astounded. “You can have a talk with him and persuade him. As his brother-in-law, aren’t I more important than Cate?”
“Cate came prepared, and moreover, Shaun still has feelings for her. As my brother, can you stop being a burden for me? I’ve always told you that you can do whatever you like after I get married. Why can’t you just wait?”
Sarah narrowed her eyes after hanging up the phone.
They said incompetent teammates could ruin a team.
Although Thomas was her biological brother, she would find herself in deep trouble sooner or later if he went on causing trouble. Perhaps it was time to give up on him. He was merely a useless person. Having said that, he could be taken advantage of on the right occasion to make the best use of him.
…
After he left the seaside villa, Shaun called Hadley. “Go and check what actually happened in Cate’s place last night.”
As Hadley had an acquaintance who worked in the police station, he received the information in less than ten minutes.
“President Lyons, four men broke into Miss Cox’ house around 10 o’clock last night. Luckily, Miss Cox was in the hospital at that time as Joel’s blood pressure had increased. Otherwise, she would’ve met those terrifying… I heard those men are recidivists who are always involved in fights and robberies.”
Hadley suddenly paused in his speech.
Shaun’s heart sank. Even if Cate had mastered some basic fighting skills, she probably would not have been able to defeat the four atrocious men.
When faced with four men at night, a pretty woman would not be able to defeat them. She might even get…
Shaun subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “There’s a school district in the Hackett neighborhood where many students stay. The security around the area is tight, so how dare they break into the house and steal things at 10 p.m.?”
“Yeah, this is the first serious case that has happened there. The police have arrested the four criminals. The criminals claimed that they heard Miss Cox is the successor of Yule Corporation and thought she’s wealthy, so they went there to rummage for valuable items.
“Having said that, it’s my first time hearing burglars smashing everything in the house. They smashed everything in sight till the house was beyond all recognition. It’s not even fit for a human to stay there now. It seems like they were… taking revenge.”
Shaun rubbed his temples. After a moment, he said sternly, “Go and investigate whether this incident has to do with Thomas.”
An hour later, Shaun received the news from Hadley when he was in the office.
“Thomas’ assistant transferred money to the four recidivists’ family members. Each of them received 500,000 dollars.”
As soon as he finished that sentence, Shaun, who was seated on the leather chair, turned around and threw the dart he was holding right in the center of the dartboard on the wall.
“Hadley, do you think… I’m treating Thomas too kindly?” Shaun’s handsome face turned grim, and his mouth was curved into a frosty smile.
Hadley was at a loss for words. Not only was Shaun treating Thomas too kindly, but he had also gone as far as crossing the baseline of morality.
Nevertheless, Hadley reminded Shaun cautiously, “It’s because you can’t bear to see Miss Neeson get upset, right?”
“…”
A frosty look flashed across Shaun’s eyes.
He lowered his head and rubbed his weary brows.
Indeed, he was doing everything for Sarah’s sake.
Three years ago, he did not want to save Thomas, yet he did it against his conscience because of Sarah.
This was why Cate had been holding a grudge against him. He had no choice but to imprison Cate. Ultimately, he lost his children all because of his plans.
Some time ago, Shaun even disputed a lawsuit against his conscience for Thomas and destroyed a family.
