Not long after, the car stopped in front of the seaside villa. “You should go back first. I have an
appointment with someone else to discuss some stuff.”
“Why didn’t I hear that you had a prior engagement?” Sarah said, half-joking.
“I forgot about it before.” Shaun lit a cigarette. He seemed absent-minded. “Don’t wait for me tonight.
Sleep earlier.”
Sarah gritted her teeth and forced herself to get down from the car. She wanted to say a few more
sentences but what was left was only the car exhaust.
She stomped her feet in frustration. She did not know why, but she had a strong feeling that Shaun
would look for Catherine.
Half an hour later, the sports car arrived at an oyster bar.
Chase had mentioned that they were going to eat oysters just now. Chase liked this bar the most in the
whole of Canberra. There was a high chance that they came here.
When he pushed the door and went in, a heavenly singing voice could be heard.
“I’d rather keep all the pain in my heart than forget your eyes. You gave me the courage to believe again.
Oh, I embraced you despite your lies.”
“…”
He looked toward the middle of the bar. A young woman with long curly hair was sitting on a tall chair.
Her head was lowered and she was singing into the microphone. She was wearing a pair of blue
straight-cut jeans. One of her legs rested on the tall chair while her other leg touched the ground. She
had on a pair of simple black and white canvas shoes that revealed a part of her fair, delicate ankles.
All the spotlights in the bar were focused on her side profile. The dim lighting was like roses that bloomed
in the night. It was filled with fatal seduction aimed at men.
Especially when she casually played the guitar in her hands, the effects of the seduction were at their
heights.
Men were attracted to her beauty.
Women screamed at the cool vibe radiating off her.
“Everybody, let’s sing together.”
Catherine stood up from the tall chair. The speed she played the guitar was getting faster. Her skills were
no less of a professional.
A lock of hair escaped from behind her ear. She tucked it back, revealing her stunning and enchanting
face. That small face shone under the bright lights, and it was as if a billion stars were shining in her
eyes.
Shaun’s feet were stuck on the spot.
Catherine looked like she was standing on a concert stage. Her whole person seemed to glow.
He did not know that her singing was so melodic and even more skillful than professionals.
He did not know that she could play the guitar either.
He never realized that she looked so pretty when she smiled.
His heart throbbed intensely.
When the song ended, he was left wanting more.
Not only him, but the audience below the stage felt the same way.
“Pretty girl, your singing is too good. Sing one more song!”
“That’s right, you sound even better than those singers at live concerts.”
“Pretty girl, I’m a manager at a music company. Do you want to sign a contract with us?”
“…”
“No need, I’m just singing for fun. I’m tired, so I’m going to rest first.” Catherine stepped down from the
stage.
The steps were quite high, and Joseph went over immediately to help her down.
That scene pricked Shaun’s eyes badly.
The people around started whispering as well.
The corners of Shaun’s mouth bled from the punch. He lifted his head, and his bloodshot eyes were
grim. “No one is allowed to take her dead body away today.”
“Enough.” Old Master Hill knocked his walking stick against the ground. “Shaun, let her take Catherine
away.”
“Grandpa, don’t meddle in my affairs,” Shaun roared.
