“I had some business in the company. I’ll come over immediately.”
Shaun quickly rushed to the hospital. When Sarah saw him, her spirits got better and she even ate some food. “By the way, Shaunic, I heard… Logan was sent to the police station.”
“Mm.” Shaun’s gaze sharpened. “The police have already filed a case. When the time comes, there’ll be a trial in court.”
“That’s good… ” Sarah gave a smile of relief. “After all, it’s not appropriate to give extralegal punishment. It’s better to hand this case over to the police.”
Thomas snapped, “But kidnapping cases like this will only receive a sentence of a few years in jail at most.”
“I believe he’ll repent wholeheartedly in jail. We should obey the law too, ” Sarah said with a sincere expression.
Thomas sighed. “You’re just too kind.”
Shaun lowered his gaze, looking at Sarah’s soft and fair petite face. He could not resist thinking of Cate’s evil-looking face. He could not help but lament. Did he really love the wrong person?
He might not love Sarah anymore, but at least she was a kind person. However, he had hurt her again and again for the sake of someone like Cate.
“Eldest Young Master Lyons, you’ll be Sarah’s lawyer for her case, right?” Thomas suddenly said, “ I’m just worried Cate will hire a skilled lawyer. It’ll be troublesome if Logan is acquitted.”
“That won’t happen. I’ll take over the case myself, ” Shaun said in a low voice.
“That’s great. There’s no lawsuit that Shaunic can’t win.” Sarah raised her head and smiled at him.
At night, in the Lyons family’s manor.
Shaun came back, though it was rare of him. Old Madam Lyons did not feel comfortable after looking at him. “Has the sun risen from the west today? You actually have the time to come back? What’s that in your hand?”
“The newest Barbie doll. ” Shaun brought it over to Suzie who was having snacks. “I’m giving this to you, okay?”
He was not someone who would care about a child’s feelings, but Suzie’s words yesterday had hurt his heart. He could not sleep for the whole night.
He did not understand why he was so concerned about Liam’s daughter. It was really strange.
“No.” Suzie evaded him. She ran over to Old Madam Lyons’s side and lowered her head.
Old Madam Lyons glared at Shaun and snapped, “You transferred her dad to work at the lower ranks and made him a laughing stock, yet you still dare to come and please Suzie?”
“Liam told her that?” Shaun’s expression darkened.
“Absolutely not.” Suzie raised her head. She looked at him in fear, but she said loudly, “It was Granduncle and Grand aunty who were discussing this matter. What did my dad do wrong that you have to treat him like that?”
Shaun was at a loss for words. He could not tell her the truth. A child’s world was too pure.
“I know, it must be like what Aunty Sarah said. Uncle Shaun and my dad have different fathers, so Uncle Shaun doesn’t like my dad,” Suzie said aggrievedly with reddened eyes.
“Sarah said that to you?” Old Madam Lyons’s expression changed instantly. “What kind of woman is she? How could she say that in front of a kid? She’s too much.”
“Granny…” Shaun looked awkward.
Old Madam Lyons said sternly, “I heard you’ve been staying by Sarah’s side every day in the hospital recently. Did you not have a woman in your past life? She has already cheated on you. Everyone in Canberra is talking about it. Why are you so silly?”
Shaun put on a long face. He did not say a word.
Old Master Lyons walked in with the support of his cane. “Stop talking. This grandson of yours can’t live without women anyway. Let him do whatever he wants. He’s the head of the Lyons family now. It’s useless for anyone to say anything.”
“What else can I do? If you want to marry Sarah, both of you should just do it secretly overseas.
Don’t invite us. We won’t attend the wedding. It’s embarrassing,” Old Madam Lyons said angrily.
“Forget it, I’m returning to my room.”
Shaun put the Barbie doll on the table before turning around to leave.
Just as he was about to walk up the stairs, he heard Suzie’s voice from behind. “Uncle Shaun, wait.”
“Suzie, I thought you didn’t like me anymore?” Shaun turned back. A hint of bitterness flashed across his eyes.
Suzie bit her lip, and her clear eyes were reddish. “I just want to tell you this. That day, Aunty Cathy didn’t kidnap me. Before I went over, Aunty Cathy had already explained everything to me. She said she wanted to save a friend as that friend was captured by you. She had no choice but to let you think that I was kidnapped. Only then would you let that uncle go.”
“You knew it from the start.” Shaun was shocked. He thought the innocent Suzie had been kept in the dark.
Suzie said seriously, “Mm, Dad said Uncle Logan is a good person too. He helped Aunty Cathy a lot in the past, so I wanted to help him. I’m sorry I lied to you.
“I just want to tell you that Aunty Cathy never hurt me. She never lied to me either. I like her a lot, and I’ll continue liking her in the future. Although I’m young, I still can differentiate who are the good people.”
Shaun was stupefied. “What can a little kid like you differentiate?”
“Of course, I can.” Suzie planted her hands on her small waist. “In this big manor, Uncle, Great- grandma, Great-grandpa, Grandma, and Granduncle all genuinely like me, but Grandpa, Grandaunt, and my Great-grandma, Great- grandpa, and uncles and aunts from my father’s side don’t like me.”
Shaun was startled and only reacted after a long time. “You mean your grandpa and your grandparents, aunts, and uncles from the Campos family don’t like you?”
“Yeah, when Daddy brought me to the Campos family, they all ignored me. Another big brother even bullied me. He was clearly in the wrong, but Grandpa told me to apologize to him.” Suzie lowered her head and clenched her little fists.
“I grew up with Mommy since I was little, so I’m very good at reading people’s expressions.”
Shaun’s heart clenched painfully, but he could not tell why. “Don’t go to the Campos family anymore. If you’re bored, come and find me.”
“No need. I don’t like Aunty Sarah, and I know she doesn’t like me either.” Suzie shook her head decisively and waved. “Bye-bye, Uncle.”
Then, she ran back into the house.
Shaun looked at her back for a long time and took out his phone to dial the personnel department. “ Let Liam continue to serve as the general manager of the company.”
The manager of the personnel department was speechless. “Does he still need to go to Country Y to build a factory?”
“No need. I’ll arrange for another person to go.”
Shaun sighed. Why did Liam have a daughter who could make Shaun so distressed? If Liam was forced to the lower ranks in the company, Suzie would be looked down on as his daughter. Shaun would not allow anyone to bully Suzie.
However… he did not expect that Mason Campos would dislike Suzie so much. Suzie was clearly his granddaughter. Which grandparent did not like their grandchildren? The people of the Campos family were too strange.
When he returned to his villa, Aunty Yasmine welcomed him with a smile. “Eldest Young Master
Lyons, when will you bring Miss Cox back for a visit?”
Shaun’s frown deepened, but Aunty Yasmine did not notice and continued with a smile, “ I watched the news that day. You accompanied Miss Cox to Mount Wellington. You two have gotten back together, right? I’m really happy for you.”
“We broke up again,” Shaun said expressionlessly. Aunty Yasmine froze. “How…”
“Don’t mention her to me in the future, ” Shaun said and walked upstairs.
Aunty Yasmine looked at his back and sighed. Maybe it was good that they had not gotten back together. Miss Cox might suffer again if she stayed with the Eldest Young Master Lyons.
After Shaun entered the study, he shut the door with a bang.
He lit a cigarette and remembered Suzie’s words. Did Cate really not have the intention of using Suzie to threaten him? Would she really not harm Suzie?
