Then, she heard a dark voice as cold as frost by her ears.
“Come here.”
She shuddered and turned around to look. Shaun was standing a meter away, dressed in black pants and a black trench coat. His noble aura set off his handsome and defined features as if he was a sculpture. Dark currents seemed to surge in his dark pupils.
A bad feeling flashed in her heart as she hastily drew her hand back.
However, in Shaun’s eyes, it looked more like she was trying to hide something.
How great! She stayed out the whole night without a word while he came and waited here since 7:00 a.m.. In the end, what he saw was another man sending her to the company and her wearing Nathan Lowe’s clothes.
When she got out of the car, Nathan even grabbed her hand as if they were a couple in love who could not bear to be separated.
As soon as Shaun thought about how she might have been in Nathan’s bed last night, an inexplicable fire burned violently in his heart. The flames surged as if they wanted to melt someone.
“Mr. Lyons…” Nathan was slightly startled, not understanding why Shaun was here early in the morning.
“Cate Cox, are you deaf? Did you hear what I said?” Shaun warned fiercely once again.
Cate hurriedly walked over to him. He forcefully yanked her into his arms and ripped the clothes off her, throwing them on the ground.
Cate was also stunned. Only then did she realize Nathan’s clothes were over her shoulders.
Well, Shaun must have misunderstood again, but she was really tired now and not in the mood for a fight.
“Mr. Lyons, what are you doing?” Nathan’s eyes widened. Slow as he was, he could sense the man’s possessiveness toward Cate.
However, he did not understand. Shaun Lyons had only helped Cate with a lawsuit, right?
“What do you think I’m doing?” Shaun pinched Cate’s chin expressionlessly and kissed her lips without restraint. “She’s my woman, so stay away from her. Otherwise, you’ll stir things up between the Lowe family and me.”
Nathan was completely shocked. “That’s impossible! She doesn’t love you at all. Cate, what’s going on?”
Cate was expressionless from the excessive embarrassment.
She had fantasized about this moment countless times. She would hold Shaun’s hand with her head held high and appear in front of Nathan, declaring that she was his aunt.
She never expected that before she could retaliate, her dignity was instead smashed in one of the most unbearable ways.
Yes, in Shaun’s Lyons’s eyes, she was just an item.
She was no different from the women he paid for outside.
“You still don’t understand?” When Shaun saw the apathetic look on her face, his anger surged as he sneered even more. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Since she wanted me to take on her case, she needs to pay up if she doesn’t want to go to jail.”
Nathan was struck by his words and took two steps back. He shook his head, his face turning pale as if he could not accept that fact. “I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you.”
The little princess he had cared for from childhood could not have become so miserable.
“It’s useless even if you don’t believe it.”
Shaun touched Cate’s face that was paler than a sheet of paper. The cruelty hidden in his heart seemed to be activated. The more in despair she was, the happier he was.
She asked for this!
“You b*stard!”
Nathan could no longer bear to listen and lunged at Shaun.
Shaun quickly pulled Cate behind him and dodged the attack before swiftly retaliating, punching Nathan to the ground.
However, the anger in his heart was not appeased. He was just about to lift his foot when Cate ran over and hugged him in fright. “Stop fighting.”
Shaun subconsciously paused because of her, but Nathan took the opportunity to climb up and quickly punch Shaun in the face.
The corner of his delicate lips was instantly split, startling Cate.
Before she could react, Shaun threw Nathan to the ground and mercilessly beat him up until he could no longer stand.
Cate was stunned. She never knew Shaun was so skilled.
Nathan’s tall figure was reduced to a sandbag in Shaun’s hands. It was quite terrifying.
After the beating, Shaun threw Cate over his shoulder and tossed her into the car. He then drove away like a gust of wind.
The car sped on the road as fast as lightning, scaring Cate so much she broke out in a cold sweat. She clutched the overhead handle tightly, afraid that she would be thrown out the next moment.
However, she did not dare to say anything. Shaun was more dangerous today than he was any other time in the past.
After arriving at the villa, Shaun dragged her from the car straight to the bedroom and said with gloomy eyes, “How dare you team up with another man to beat me?”
“I… I didn’t.” Cate tried to get up, but her knees were unable to exert any strength after having knelt for too long last night. “It’s because…”
“Shut up, you lying woman!”
Shaun yelled at her, “Do you think I’ll believe you again? You said you love me, but that’s only because you wanted me to take on your court case. Now that it’s done, you want to kick me away right after. You said that you don’t love Nathan Lowe anymore, yet you couldn’t wait to go to a hotel with him.”
If this had happened in the past, Cate would have argued with him, but she was truly tired and sad today. She did not even have the strength to argue. “Did you see me go to a hotel with him?”
“If you didn’t go to a hotel, then why didn’t you come back last night? Why were his clothes draped over your shoulders? Just look at your appearance. It’s clear that you didn’t sleep at all last night.”
Shaun looked at her with eyes full of disgust.
Cate felt completely infuriated. She had been keeping vigil for her grandmother all night last night, but his thoughts were so filthy.
As if she had lost her mind, she stripped off her clothes and threw them on the ground. “Take a good look yourself. Check well and see if you find any traces on me. Do you want to check if my first time is still intact as well?”
The more she spoke, the more agitated and upset she got. Suddenly, she seemed to completely break down as tears fell in big droplets from her eyes.
Shaun was at his wit’s end watching her cry. He took off his clothes in frustration and draped them over her body.
“Fine, even if you didn’t do anything with Nathan Lowe, the fact that you stayed out all night with another man and didn’t come back proves that you don’t care about the contract at all. Cate Cox, I’ll teach you the price of breaking the contract.”
“What are you going to do?”
Cate stared at him with eyes wide in anger.
“From now on, you need to stay here and can’t go out to work anymore, lest you make me a cuckold.”
Shaun snorted coldly before slamming the door shut and locking it.
Cate did not try hitting the door. She was too tired.
Her only family member was gone, and she was being doubted and hurt by Shaun every day. She felt like she could no longer see any hope for the future.
That was fine. At most, she would die. There was nothing to be afraid of. She no longer had to think of how to repay Shaun.
…
Shaun thought that she would make a fuss, or admit her mistakes and beg for mercy, but she was exceptionally quiet.
At noon, Aunty Linda brought food in but came back down again after a while. She shook her head. “Young Master Lyons, Ms. Cox refuses to eat. Her mood seems to be a little off.”
“If she doesn’t want to eat, then let her starve.” Shaun tossed the magazine aside distractedly.
“Young Master Lyons, have you asked where exactly Ms. Cox went last night? Maybe there’s a misunderstanding.”
