Chapter 93

The line was busy, so I couldn't contact Shawn at all. I ended the call dejectedly before returning myfocus to the repost that Xenos Solutions' official website had made. The more I stared at it, the moreannoyed I felt. In the end, I couldn't help but give Kevin a call. He picked up my call for a moment, buthe ended it directly after that! Is he trying to provoke me right now?! What a nasty guy!

Frustration bubbled in my chest as I tightened my grip on the phone. Soon enough, Kevin sent me atext. 'I was just trying to show support. I wanted everyone to know that there was someone who lovedyou! Anyway, I'm not going to delete the tweet!' So, he knew the reason I had called him!

I held onto my phone and left the office grumpily. As I got downstairs, I felt the urge to head to Eldhamjust to give Kevin a punch in the face. However, I eventually let out a sigh of resignation. "I should go toShawn for this matter," I muttered to myself.

Since Shawn didn't pick up his phone, I sent him a text. 'There's something that I'd like to talk to youabout, Sunny.' I figured that he would reply to me when he had the time to do so. I had just texted himwhen May sent me a WhatsApp message. 'How are you, Renee?' she asked worriedly. She hadalready texted and called me two months ago when Shawn first brought me away from Bryxton.However, I was feeling really down back then, so I barely used my phone. All of the messages andmissed calls piled up on my phone, and I only sent a broadcast message once I got back to Bryxton.'I'm back in Bryxton. Don't miss me too much,' it said.

When May received this text, she understood that I didn't want to be bothered—that was why she didn'tcontact me immediately. She only contacted me after what happened the day before and after I hadmade a statement about it. May was the one person who knew about my experiences throughout the

years—she understood all of the sorrow and pain that I had been through. Moreover, she knew that Ineeded time to digest the situation. So, she only texted me after I was done processing my emotions.'How are you, Renee?'

She was asking about how I was doing. 'Everything's fine,' I replied calmly. My cancer had beentreated, and I had managed to bid goodbye to the past. I didn't feel too drained by this situation—theonly thing that required more of my effort was the issue with Felix Corporation. That, and Quinn'skidney… I guess I'll deal with that a while later. I just want to enjoy my life for now, even if I'm not in arelationship.

'Where are you?' I asked her after hesitating for a moment. I hadn't met May since her miscarriage, andI had no idea how she was doing. After a while, she responded in a rather gloomy tone. 'I'm at work. Ifeel troubled by so many things—I'm about to drown in frustration!'

Did she say that she's at work?! Since when did she replace a job? 'Do you want me to pay you a visit?' Iasked.

'Sure! It's been so long since we last met!' she replied. After she sent me her address, I headed to thecompany's garage and got into my white race car before driving over to her. When I arrived, May wasbeing held back by her superior, so she couldn't leave immediately. I felt rather grossed out as I waitedin the car and stared at the building in front of me, because her workplace was none other than AdamsCorporation. She had finally managed to get into the company.

It was past noontime when May finally made her way down. "My superior is so annoying," she utteredwhile dragging her tired figure over to my car.

"Do I know your superior?" I asked out of curiosity.

She opened the door and let herself into the car. "You're famous, while my superior is just somerandom person. How would you guys know each other?"

"I thought your superior would be someone from the Adams Family," I explained. She quickly shook herhead. "Both sons of the Adams Family stopped working in Adams Corporation after Rudy returned toBryxton. I'm not sure about the reason for this, but I heard that Old Master Adams was trying to pleaseRudy." Apparently, the assistant mentioned that Rudy refused to work with anyone after returning toBryxton. It seemed like Chairman Adams didn't wish to let go of a powerful figure in the company.

May sighed before speaking. "I recently found out about Rudy's history. It makes sense for him not toshow much interest in the Adams Family—they aren't that big of a deal after all. Furthermore, I heardthat he often works with Shawn," she said.

Why is May mentioning Shawn all of a sudden… "Are you about to ask about Shawn and—" I mutteredhesitantly. However, she quickly interrupted me with a smile on her face. "That's not it. Shawn… I'veonly heard Rudy mention him briefly. Shawn sounded like someone who wasn't a fan of formingpartnerships, and he seemed to put most of his efforts into international businesses. He's definitely aman who can handle risks," she said.

I didn't know much about the Xenos Family's background, but there was certainly a limited number offamilies who worked with the Xenos Family. The Xenoses were definitely a lone wolf. Judging by howthey managed to get to where they were on their own, they had to have some form of an extremelypowerful background. However, I didn't know the details of it.

Even though Shawn often told me that I would have the Xenos Family's support, I never had a clear

picture of what the Xenos Family did. As I started the car to drive away from the building, I respondedto May's statement honestly. "I don't know that much about Shawn. I just saved him once, and… Well,we somehow got to know each other. He's been treating me well ever since," I uttered.

May pulled her lipstick out and touched up while glancing at the mirror attached to the car. "What coulda man's intention be when he's nice to a woman?"

I stared at her speechlessly.

"It's because he fancies you, of course," she uttered in a firm tone.

"What about Rudy, then?" I asked in return. Rudy was nice to May too. She froze without respondingafter that. We were both smart enough to stop bringing up either one of the men after that. "Whathappened back then?" I asked concernedly.

"Are you talking about my miscarriage?" She was a quick-witted woman. I nodded, and she loweredher gaze before speaking in a calm tone. "There were a few jealous women who thought that I waspregnant with Rudy's child. Perhaps I was really close to him then… Anyway, I'm going to avenge mychild's death within the next few days."

Jealous women… Hearing that, I naturally thought about Maria and Alice. It was common to see girlsflocking around handsome and talented men like Rudy and Shawn, but it also made things harder forthe innocent women around them. "Don't be sad." I felt my heart aching for her as I tried to comfort her.May simply scoffed in response. "I'm not sad. I'm about to make them pay. Rudy had intentionallyoffered to deal with them on my behalf, but I rejected his offer. I want to do this on my own."

After pausing for a while, May let out a slight chuckle. "This was the only flesh and blood that he had

left in this world. How am I supposed to not feel sad about it?" I didn't know what to say then, so Isimply stopped the car before pulling her in for a hug. She bawled her eyes out while clinging to me.

May had been completely heartbroken ever since Alba's death. There wasn't even anyone around tocomfort her at one point.

After having a meal and strolling around with May, she picked out a black belt as a gift for me. Afterputting it on me, she pressed her palms against my waist before sighing. "What a slim waist. You're fair,slim, and gorgeous, Renee. You're practically tempting all men to commit sins by wearing this singlet ofyours," she said.

I stared at her speechlessly. The belt that she had bought for me was rather wide, and it looked prettycool. It made my waist seem especially slim when I put it around my pants. I had to admit that I had asmall waist—it was literally the size of Shawn's both palms when he held onto me.

Whenever I thought of Shawn, I felt rather flustered. Why am I thinking about him all of a sudden? Ihastily shook my head.

A while after I parted ways with May, I received a call from Shawn. "What is it?" he asked coldly. Iquickly told him about what Kevin did, and he fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "Okay.Got it," he uttered flatly.

"Thank you," I said gratefully.

"Hmm. I'm at Bryxton," he said out of nowhere. Why is he mentioning this? Why did he come here,

anyway? What should I say in response?

I pressed my lips together and hesitated for a while. "Where are you?" I asked.

"I've just arrived at the airport. I have clients to meet later," he said. The old Shawn wouldn't have toldme his schedule.

"Are you going back to Eldham tonight?" I asked.

"I have other matters to do in Bryxton," he replied. This meant that he wasn't going to head back toEldham.

"Where are you staying?" I forced the question out of my mouth.

"Hmm?" he replied icily. He seemed to think that I was a busybody.

Would it be heartless of me to not welcome his presence in Bryxton? He saved me, after all. I feltconflicted for a long while, but I eventually managed to conjure a sentence. "If you don't have a place tostay, you can stay at mine. I can go back to the villa."

"Myra," he said all of a sudden.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"I'm going back to Eldham tonight," he said.

What? A dumbfounded look spread across my face. Did he just abruptly decide to head back to

Eldham after hearing my invitation for him to stay at my place? How distant is this man? He's probablya cold-blooded creature. Yeah, he's definitely a cold-blooded man.

"I see," I replied awkwardly. He ended my call right after that. Soon enough, I received a call fromKevin. "Did you call Sunny and tell on me?" he asked.

"No." I denied my actions.

"Then why did he just transfer me to an overseas department all of a sudden?" Kevin asked.

Is this Shawn's way of punishing Kevin for jumping the gun? Why is Shawn such an extreme man?"Things aren't that serious, are they?" There was guilt in my voice.

"He just called me to give me his orders! I don't care, Myra. Sunny's in Bryxton right now. You need togo to him and put in a good word for me. Otherwise, I'll log onto Xenos Solutions' official account, andI'm going to write all sorts of cheesy statements!"

"Are you that childish, Kev?" I muttered grumpily.

"My entire family is in Eldham, and I don't want to go overseas at all. If you don't speak up for me, I'mgoing to fight you!" he cried.

I was speechless once more. If Kevin actually used the Xenos Solution's official account to write otherembarrassing stuff, then I would never hear the end of this matter. I felt conflicted at that point, so Icouldn't do much but call Shawn again. "Where are you, Sunny?"

"What?" he muttered icily. This was his way of asking me what was going on. I hesitated for a long

while as I felt extremely torn by this matter. However, I eventually decided to avoid Kevin's threats. "Kevcalled me to apologize earlier," I told Shawn honestly. "Can you not punish him anymore?" I asked.

Shawn only responded with more silence. I knew what he could be like, so I didn't feel bothered at all."I'll pick you up and send you to work," I offered. He didn't respond after that, so I called his name in mywhiny and soft tone. "I want to see you. Can we meet?" I said in a coquettish tone. Even I feltembarrassed by my own existence at that moment.

However, my priority then was to ensure that Shawn would give in to my request. Right when I thoughthe would never respond to me, he gave me an address. "I'm leaving in 40 minutes."

"I'm coming now!" I replied excitedly.
