When Shaun walked out of the seaside villa, he felt some guilt in his heart. At the same time, he felt relaxed as well.
Hadley drove the car over. Shaun got in the car and lit a cigarette. He asked absently, “Hadley, am I a huge scumbag?”
“President Lyons, you’ re not a scumbag. You just… don’t love Ms. Neeson anymore.” ‘You stopped loving her a long time ago, but you were just deluded by Ms. Neeson’s hypnosis,’ Hadley thought.
“I don’t love her?” Shaun smiled bitterly. “I used to think that I’d love her forever.”
“There’s a barrier between you and Ms. Neeson,” Hadley said, “Happiness is the most important thing when two people are in a relationship. But I never thought you were happy every time I saw you coming out of the villa.”
Shaun was taken aback. Was he not happy?
When he thought about it, it seemed accurate. He did not know when it began, but he would rather work extra hours at the company.
Hadley saw that Shaun was in a daze. He continued saying, “Besides… even if you suppress this matter, the police had appeared in public to bring Ms. Neeson away that day. Many people have already caught wind of it. If you still insist on being together with Ms. Neeson, not only will it anger Old Master Lyons and Old Madam Lyons, but the outsiders will mock you as well.”
“Don’t say any more.”
Shaun clenched his fists that were resting on his legs.
It was a wedding of the century, yet he became the laughing stock of Canberra in the end.
In the seaside villa.
After Shaun left without hesitation, Sarah broke everything she could find in the house like a madman.
The whole place had been decorated with rose petals due to the wedding. However, it was as if the red rose petals were now mocking her.
She should have become the young madam of the Lyons family now, the person whom the whole of Australia envied.
Why had she fallen from heaven to hell in an instant?
Aunty Zara, who was in the kitchen, was so frightened that she did not dare to come out. At this moment, Yael frantically ran inside. “Calm down, Ms. Neeson. Eldest Young Master Lyons is just angry. He’ll come back after a while.”
“Yael, do you think that I’m disgusting too?” Sarah asked as she cried.
“No, I know that you didn’t have a choice. Ms. Neeson, you’ve been through too many hardships. Eldest Young Master Lyons has no clue at all.” Yael was upset that Shaun was being so merciless. Ms. Neeson obviously loved him deeply.
“Thank you, Yael, ” Sarah muttered, “You’re the only one from Shaun’s people who’s still on my side now. You must help me keep an eye on him. I’m worried that Cate may take advantage of this opportunity. Of course, there may be other women as well.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll help you keep an eye on him. I’ll tell you if anything happens,” Yael said, gritting her teeth.
“Okay, Yael. I’ll never forget our sisterhood.” Sarah hugged her.
After Yael left, Sarah furiously dialed a person’s number. “Didn’t you say that you buried Lucifer’s body in a desolate place back then? Why was his body discovered by the police at the riverside?”
“They were careless. I reckon they were tailed when they buried the body, ” that person said in a low voice.
Sarah was exasperated. “ I thought you were very capable. You guys have put me in trouble this time. The wedding was canceled, and Shaun and I are at odds with each other. If I knew you guys would be s o useless, I would’ve done everything myself back then.” The person on the other side of the phone sneered coldly, “Sarah Langley Neeson, you didn’t tell me that the person took drugs. You even had sex with him. You can’t blame me for your indecent actions.”
“If it weren’t for my quick thinking, I would’ve almost gotten involved in your trouble. I’ve yet to settle my debt with you. Besides, you should think o f what you still have that’s useful to me. Once you leave Shaun’s side, you’re nothing at all to me.”
The call ended mercilessly. Sarah was appalled.
She gripped her phone tightly. She knew all along that in the eyes of those bunch of people, no matter how outstanding she was in the field of psychology and arts, they would only prioritize family background. The Neeson family was not what it used to be. Therefore, she could only hold tightly onto Shaun, Rodney, and Chester.
A wave of panic swept over her. She dialed Rodney’s number.
Half an hour later, Rodney quickly rushed over.
Sarah had already washed her face and changed into a set of white clothes. She sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking wine. Her look was that of someone in despair, yet it had a touch of purity too.
“ Sarah, stop drinking.” Rodney snatched her wine glass away. Seeing the woman he had been secretly in love with since he was young in such a state pained him.
“Rodney, don’t you hate me?” Sarah looked up with reddened eyes. “Don’t you think I’m disgusting?”
Rodney initially felt uncomfortable that the goddess of his heart had slept with a middle -aged man. However, looking at her being like this, he strangely pitied her. “Sarah, you were so silly. Why didn’t you tell us? We know about all the sufferings you went through back then. We understand that you were a victim and don’t mind it at all. You cheated on Shaun this time. No man can stand that.”
“I was afraid that you guys wouldn’t be able to take it if you saw the pictures. I just wanted to keep the last bit of my dignity. I never expected that I would lose my remaining dignity as well.”
Sarah smiled pitifully. “Shaunic left, and the wedding can’t be held again. Everyone in the circle must be talking about me and looking down on me. I can’t take it anymore. I wanted to die back then too, but I hung on when I thought of Shaunic. I never knew… I should’ve just died back then.”
She took the wine bottle and drank straight from it after she spoke. “Don’t stop me. Just let me die from drinking.”
“Don’t be like that. Maybe Shaun will just be angry for a while? Give him some time.” Rodney took the wine bottle away forcefully. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll surely advise Shaun to come back.”
“What if he doesn’t come back?” Sarah had a dazed expression.
“I’ll think of something. Even if he doesn’t come back… You don’t have to be afraid. I’ll always be your strongest backing, ” Rodney said with determination.
In the president’s office of Lyons Corporation.
The lights had been on for a whole night, but Shaun was still working.
Everyone in the company noticed that their president had become an utter workaholic. In the past, he would still return home to rest after working extra hours, but now, he did not return home at all. He worked day and night.
Shaun had no feelings about it. However, the employees of the secretarial department who worked extra hours and stayed up all night with him could not take it anymore.
“Assistant Young, please advise President Lyons to go back to rest. Even a normal person won’t be able to take it if this keeps going on. President Lyons is going through a break-up, but he can’t make us suffer together with him.”
“That’s right. I still have my wife and kids back at home. My kids call me every day to say they miss me.”
Hadley’s expression darkened. “When did President Lyons break-up? What nonsense are you all talking about?”
“Assistant Young, we heard all about it already, ” a secretary said with a low voice, “During the wedding, Ms. Neeson was taken away. I heard that she has already been bailed out, but President Lyons never mentioned anything about holding another wedding. He doesn’t even go back home now. This means that Ms. Neeson had indeed cheated on President Lyons.” “What was Ms. Neeson thinking? Our president is so excellent. What was she dissatisfied with?”
“That’s right, the president is so tall and mighty. It’s clear at a glance that he can last very long. Is she still not satisfied?”
“Maybe the president only looks strong on the outside?”
Hadley, who watched as they continued to gossip, felt exasperated.
If they went on like this, Eldest Young Master Lyons’s privacy would be stripped away.
“Shut your mouths. You’re gossipping about the president in the company? Do you not want to work anymore?” Hadley warned.
The employees realized that they were getting carried away and broke out in a cold sweat.
At that moment, Lea knocked on the door and walked in. “Where’s Shaun?”
“In the office. ” Hadley quickly went up to her and said, “Madam, you must persuade President Lyons.
He’s been working relentlessly for two days and hasn’t rested.”
Lea opened the door and went in, closing the door behind her.
The interrupted Shaun raised his bloodshot eyes. “ Why are you here?”
