“It’s a good idea.”

Shaun hung up the video call and made a phone call to Hadley. “Buy some funeral offerings, the more expensive the better. Villas, clothes, shoes, everything. Buy as many as possible.”

Hadley was stunned. This was the first time he was ordered to do something like that. “How much do you want?”

“It doesn’t matter. A truck-full.”

Hadley, “…”

Early morning the next day.

Cate woke up on time as usual. Shaun had woken up long ago and frowned when he saw her getting up. “What are you doing?”

“Making breakfast.”

Shaun frowned. Her grandmother had just passed away, but she was still in the mood to make breakfast?

“Don’t go, just let Aunty Linda do it this morning.” He grabbed her arm.

“No, it’s my duty to make breakfast for you.” Cate obediently acted like a servant.

Shaun sat up, growing frustrated. “We’re not eating. Get changed. I’m bringing you out.”

Cate frowned. If he was not locking her up, then she wanted to go to work. However, he had the final say. “Fine.”

After washing up, Shaun drove her out of the city.

Cate did not know where he was going and did not ask either. She did not want to communicate with him at all.

It was only until they reached the cemetery did she recognize this as the place her grandmother was buried.

“Why did you bring me here?”

“To pay respect.” Shaun opened the door and got down, but Cate sat motionless inside.

“I’ve already finished paying my respect and you don’t have to go since it doesn’t concern you.” Cate did not want her feelings to get mixed up again.

Shaun was displeased and said coldly, “Nathan Lowe can pay his respect, but I can’t? What do you mean by that? Do you need me to remind you that I’m still your nominal husband?”

“You don’t treat me like a wife,” Cate murmured in a small voice and pouted. “You were the one who said you wouldn’t meet my family.”

“I didn’t say I won’t pay respect to a family member who has passed away.” Shaun carried her out of the car.

Immediately after, a big truck drove over and Hadley jumped out of it. “Young Master Lyons, I’ve prepared lots of funeral offerings here. There are also ten big villas and more than ten pairs of various servants.”

Cate glanced at the truck to find that it was filled with offerings.

She was stunned. “What is this…”

Hadley was worried that Shaun would say something wrong and immediately explained, “Young Master Lyons told me to prepare this for Granny Cox. Although she isn’t here anymore and there’s nothing he can do about it, he hopes that she can live a comfortable life in the afterworld.”

Shaun. “…”

When did he say something like that? Wow, that little brat Hadley sure knew how to embellish his words.

Cate looked at Shaun with wide eyes and an expression of surprise. The corners of his lips were slightly raised. Forget it. It would be better if he did not explain anything. It was better this way.

“Yeah.” Shaun nodded coldly. “This my appreciation for your grandmother.”

Cate’s gaze was strange. She did not expect Shaun to do such a thing.

“But… are you sure you can get it up here?”

Please, it was such a big truck. Would the grave keeper agree to burn all this? The amount was more than ridiculous, okay?

“Why not? Money can fix everything.” Shaun shot Hadley a look.

Sure enough, everything was handled in a short time. He hired several people to carry the things up the mountain. The fire burned for a long time and Cate looked at it without moving.

Shaun went up to her and whispered, “Don’t worry, your grandmother will live very well in the afterlife.”

“Yeah.” Cate could not help but nod. The depressed mood that she had been in for the past few days seemed to be improving by a lot.

Grandma had always missed Grandpa, so this was good. Perhaps she could be happy with Grandpa and Aunt now.

After burning the offerings, Shaun suddenly stood in front of Granny Cox’ tombstone and kneeled down somberly. His thin lips moved slightly as if he was saying something.

Cate was slightly surprised. Although her grandmother was an elder, she really did not expect him to do something like this with his high and mighty attitude.

An unknown feeling flashed in her heart. “What did you tell my grandmother?”

Shaun glanced at her. “I said, as long as you stay by my side obediently, I’ll protect you so that she can rest easy.”

Cate could not help but pout. “Forget it. It’s enough if you can have more trust in me.”

When they came down from the mountain and passed a tombstone, Shaun saw the picture on it and suddenly paused. “This woman…”

“Oh, she’s my aunt.” Cate stopped to pay her respect.

“She looks quite similar to you,” Shaun said.

“Yeah, my grandmother also said that my aunt and I look very alike.” Cate shrugged.

Shaun pondered before saying, “Actually, I don’t think you look like your mother. Jeffery and his wife don’t seem to treat you well either. Are you actually your aunt’s daughter?”

Cate was stunned but immediately shook her head. “That’s impossible. My aunt never got married and passed away at a young age. How could she have had a daughter? Forget it. There are vicious parents out there everywhere.”

Shaun fell silent.

After the two went down the hill, Cate looked up apprehensively and said, “I want to go to work today, can I?”

Shaun frowned. “You don’t have to be so careful in front of me in the future. You just need to stay away from Nathan Lowe and Wesley Sanderson and all those from the opposite sex. Also, you have to answer my calls no matter what.”

“…Okay.”

Cate nodded obediently. She would just let it be. Only by quickly earning more money could she have the courage to leave him once and for all.

…

After returning to the company, she contacted the manager of Hudson Corporation.

Upon making an appointment with the manager, she went to Hudson’s sales center in the afternoon.

The first floor of the sales center was filled with people coming and going. She stood in front of the floor plan to study the houses’ floor plans, not noticing that someone was standing on the second floor watching her from a height above.

That person was none other than Rosabella Cox, who had just appeared out of nowhere and became the general manager of Hudson’s new property development project.

“Who is she and why is she here?” Rosabella turned to look at the deputy director, Bruno Keeling, who was busy flattering her.

“Her? She’s a designer from Talton Design. She came to see the manager of the planning department, probably for the interior design of the new property.”

Rosabella had thought that she would be the heir to Summit. Now that Summit was sold off, she hated Cate to her bones. “Are there no other companies in Melbourne? Why does it have to be Talton Design?”

“The momentum of Talton’s workmanship is currently rising very fiercely, but it’s not set in stone yet. She’s only here to talk about it.”

Rosabella’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly smiled. Since she was the general manager now, she could deal with Cate however she wanted to.

She hooked a finger toward Bruno. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to take on the contract for the project’s windows and doors? You can. As long as you teach this person a lesson, I’ll give it to you.”

Bruno’s eyes lit up. “What kind of lesson do you mean?”

“That’s up to you. It doesn’t matter if she lives or dies.” Rosabella’s eyes were malicious. “Accidents often happen on construction sites, so you can’t be blamed for little issues. Just pick up after yourself well and don’t get involved.”

Bruno secretly sighed. This woman was really cruel.

However, she was the daughter of a major shareholder, Jeffery Cox. No one expected Jeffery to have such hidden depths. After Summit fell, he immediately turned around and transformed into Hudson’s most mysterious shareholder.

Now, it was very likely that Jeffery would occupy the position of chairman of Hudson Corporation, so he had to quickly curry favors with Rosabella.
