Cate understood and did not blame him. If she had to blame someone, then she would blame herself for being stupid and mistaking him for the wrong person.
She lowered her head and continued to eat.
After the meal, she asked for the bill from the waiter. She scanned the QR code and said, “I’ll pay for half and he’ll pay for the other half.”
“…”
Both the waiter and Shaun froze.
A moment later, Shaun put down his spoon unhappily. “Put it down. I don’t let women pay for meals.”
“I’m very sorry, but you’re a lawyer, so I don’t want to get into a money dispute.” Cate paid her half of the bill and took her bag before leaving happily.
It was not easy for her to earn money, but she did not want Shaun to spend money on her.
Shaun rubbed his temples as a headache built up. He swiped his card and hurriedly went after her.
However, a sharp pain suddenly hit his stomach, making his handsome face pale. He could only slowly sit down and rest.
A few minutes later, Chase called and complained angrily.
“Mr. Sanderson, you really embody the spirit of brotherhood. You were the one who insisted on coming to this restaurant, but then you left me here with
Wesley Sanderson and abducted Sister-in-law. You made me so embarrassed.
If I hadn’t covered up for you and explained things to him, Wesley would have suspected that you eloped with her.”
“Let him suspect it then.” Shane suddenly hissed out a breath.
Chase seemed to hear something he should not have heard and was completely floored. “Holy sh*t, don’t tell me Sister-in-law and you are… Did you toss her in bed so quickly? Way to go, brother! Well then, I won’t disturb your fun times.”
Shane’s stomach twitched in anger as he snapped. “Shut up! I ate hotpot earlier and have a stomach ache now.”
“…” Chase became embarrassed. “Why did you eat hotpot anyway?”
Shaun was annoyed. “Come pick me up. Buy a bottle of stomach medicine on the way.”
More than ten minutes later, Chase saw Shaun bent over a telephone pole on the side of the road.
He ran over and passed him the stomach medicine as well as a bottle of water. He said sympathetically, “Brother, your stomach is weak. Why did you go eat hotpot? Who gave you the courage? Celine Dion?”
“She wanted to eat it, so I had no choice.” Shaun downed the stomach medicine before tilting his head to drink some water to wash the medicine down.
When he said that he ‘had no choice’, the words were full of spoiling and helplessness.
Chase was speechless. “So, where is she now? She dumped you here after eating?”
“Shut up.” Shaun glared at him. He opened the car door and closed his eyes after getting in. He was in so much pain that he did not even want to speak.
Chase looked at his pale profile and secretly took a picture of him to send to Cate’s WhatsApp.
[Sister-in-law, Shaun hurt his stomach in order to accompany you to eat hotpot. I’m sending him to the hospital now. Cate, don’t be mad at him.
He doesn’t say it out loud, but he does care about you.]
“What picture did you take just now?” Shaun suddenly opened his eyes and snatched Chase’s phone. He read what Chase typed and felt like he had lost his dignity and reputation. “I care about her? I think your head is missing a few screws.”
“This is my plan to let her come back and cook for you. It’s the trick of using an injury to win against the enemy.” Chase sighed. Was it that hard to admit that he liked her?
Shaun scoffed but did not speak.
However, he kept looking at the message on the phone.
Soon, the phone made a noise.
Cate attached the number to a hospital and replied: [This is the best hospital for treating stomach troubles. Register early and take him there.
Oh, by the way, he was the one who wanted to follow me to the hotpot restaurant. It’s none of my business, so don’t think you can extort money from me.]
“…”
Chase rubbed his neck silently and held his hand out toward Shaun. “Can you give me my phone back? I just bought it not long ago…”
Before he could finish, Shaun had already viciously smashed it by tossing it out of the window.
Chase bit his lip in silent aggravation, but glancing at the man who looked like he was about to explode, Chase did not dare to make him pay.
Not only was Shaun having a stomach ache now, but his heart was also flooded with a trace of pain.
He did not understand how a woman’s heart could change so quickly. She had loved him to death not that long ago.
…
The next few days, Nathan and Sonya repeatedly went to Golden
Corporation.
However, Wesley refused to meet them and did not even answer the phone.
Nathan had no choice but to go to the villa in Green Mountain to find him.
However, Wesley was on a business trip these days and Cate was responsible for everything on the construction site.
“Cate, can you help me contact my uncle?”
Nathan went up to Cate. In just a few days, his once handsome silhouette became haggard and dull.
Cate wanted to sigh.
Back then, Nathan Lowe was considered one of the best bachelors in
Melbourne, but now, he really became uglier and uglier.
“Why should I help you? You’re my enemy.”
“Don’t say that. Did you forget that we grew up together?” Nathan said bitterly, “If I don’t restore the partnership with Golden Corporation, the board of directors will depose me from the position of president and I’ll lose my inheritance rights…”
“That’s none of my business. You’re not my fiancé anyway. Go find
Rosabella instead.”
Cate spoke as she ate a bun. She had not eaten since breakfast and was very hungry.
“My uncle doesn’t even like Rosabella.” Nathan grabbed her hand. “Cate, I know you hate me, but I had no choice. I got engaged to Rosabella in order to consolidate my position. Besides, I haven’t married her yet. My heart will always be filled with you. Have you forgotten the feelings we shared for each other when we were still growing up?”
Cate quickly shook him off, so disgusted that she almost lost her appetite.
“How did I not realize before this how shameless you are? Did you forget how you slapped me at the entrance of the design institute? Or how you pushed me because of Rosabella Cox? Or how you paid someone to flood the villa in order to frame me just a few days ago? If I hadn’t found out about it earlier, not only would I have needed to pay for the compensation, but my company would also be dragged down.
“Nathan Lowe, your viciousness chills me, and just the mention of our past relationship makes my hair stand on end. But you? You have no remorse and no intent to apologize, yet you’re shameless enough to stand in front of me.”
Nathan’s face burned red from her scolding, but he could not say anything due to his embarrassment.
In fact, he had been too angry that day and vaguely regretted his actions. Even so, his pride made him unable to bow his head.
Cate glanced at him and looked around, then suddenly sighed.
“Forget it. Don’t say I’m too cruel. After all, isn’t the problem just about Golden Corporation withdrawing their investment? Won’t the problem be solved if you just dump money back? I was at Summit for a while and though I’m not familiar with the other matters, I know that my father still has more than 20 billion in liquid assets. You’re going to be his future son-in-law, so he should be willing to help.”
Nathan was stunned. “The Cox family still has so much money?”
“Duh. He also secretly invested in several companies, so his income is pretty good.”
