Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1011: What, Didn’t You Understand What I Said?
"Uh... I wasn’t following you. I just came out for some fresh air myself," Leah Thorne tried to show her goodwill.
Tanya looked at Leah Thorne, "Are you interested in Cain Shaw? Want to know more about him from me?"
Leah Thorne froze, doubting herself. Did she make it that obvious?
Tanya’s palm-sized oval face was cold and indifferent, her autumn-like eyes sparkled with a vigilant light, "I saw you standing outside my ward yesterday, but you didn’t look at me, your gaze was tightly locked on Cain Shaw. It’s very obvious you’re approaching me because of him."
"... You saw me yesterday?"
"Yes, you’re so beautiful, it’s hard not to draw attention."
Suddenly praised, Leah Thorne, "..."
"If you’re here for Cain Shaw, let me advise you: he’s not a good person, you’d better stay away from him and don’t be deceived by his appearance."
"Many women like him, cling to him, he seems to welcome them all, his private life is extremely chaotic, so don’t fall for him." Tanya spoke the truth, even knitting her brows.
Leah Thorne had a bellyful of words but couldn’t utter a single one. She didn’t know what her brother had done over the years to leave such a terrible impression on Tanya.
However, Leah Thorne absolutely did not believe that her brother’s private life was chaotic or that he messed around with relationships; she trusted her brother’s character.
Then a deep, magnetic voice came from behind, "Tanya Sullivan, it’s the first time I hear you speak so much. You’re actually gossiping about me behind my back, saying bad things about me!"
Leah Thorne quickly turned around; Cain Shaw had arrived.
Cain Shaw came grandly with a group of his men, the people in the corridor were already frightened and retreated, hands in pockets, his steps casual yet steady. A man of six-foot-three, with handsome brows and eyes, exuding a wild and charming demeanor that was both intimidating and irresistible to look at.
At that moment, a passerby rushed from around the corner without watching the road and bumped into Cain Shaw, dropping the report sheet from his hand, trembling in fear, "Sorry...I didn’t mean it..."
"Hey, what’s your problem?" One of the men quickly stepped forward, shoved the passerby, and pointed at him, "You dared to bump into our boss? Are your eyes useless? If apologies worked, why would we need the police?"
The subordinate arrogantly yelled in the corridor, acting like a bully.
Cain Shaw had his hands in his pockets, raised an eyebrow, and then kicked the subordinate’s butt, "What are you doing? We live in a civilized society now, be decent."
The subordinate quickly rubbed his sore butt, giving a cheeky smile, "You’re right, boss, it’s all my fault."
Cain Shaw, "Hurry up and pick up all the reports from the floor."
"Yes." The subordinate swiftly gathered the scattered report sheets and handed them to Cain Shaw.
Cain Shaw stepped forward, took the passerby’s hand, and stuffed the papers back to him, smiling gently, "Don’t be afraid, we’re no thugs, we’re legitimate businessmen!"
Cain Shaw spoke sincerely, smiling with noticeable crow’s feet, his dark, bright eyes glistening with a charming twinkle, surprisingly, bringing forth an irresistible allure.
The passerby was almost about to wet himself in fear, "I... I’ll get going..."
The passerby quickly ran off.
Cain Shaw watched the passerby’s back, touched his handsome face, turned to his men, "Do I look scary?"
The men immediately flattered, "The boss is the most handsome man in the universe."
Leah Thorne, "..."
Tanya, "..."
Cain Shaw approached Tanya, reaching out to rudely pull Tanya into his arms, "You little brat, I’ve been supporting you, paying for your college, and this is how you repay me, sullying my name?"
Tanya struggled quickly, but his iron-like arms held her tightly and easily restrained her. She glared up at him, "Does your reputation even need me to sully it?"
"What are you saying? I’m not married yet, what’s wrong with having a few relationships, sleeping with a few women? That’s my freedom." Cain Shaw brazenly declared.
Tanya, "..."
Leah Thorne watched the two, quickly cleared her throat to indicate her presence, "Ahem!"
At this point, Cain Shaw lifted his gaze, setting it on her face, seemingly noticing her for the first time.
Leah Thorne looked at Cain Shaw in front of her, his face was different from her brother’s, seemed like two entirely different people, but her heart thumped wildly. This must be the bond of blood; she was already certain that Cain Shaw was Mort Thorne, her brother!
Cain Shaw held Tanya casually, glanced at Leah Thorne, "Who are you? At first glance a beauty, but unfortunately, your right face is destroyed."
Cain Shaw’s gaze brushed over the scar on Leah’s right cheek lightly, seeming indifferent, yet a dark glint flashed deep in his eyes.
"Boss, I want to say something to you." Leah Thorne stepped forward, tiptoed close to Cain Shaw’s ear, and whispered a few words.
Cain Shaw showed no expression.
"Boss," at this point, his subordinate rushed over, "Carney Shaw is here."
Carney Shaw had arrived.
The Shaw family had two adopted sons, Carney and Cain. Before Cain, Carney was very favored, but with Cain’s arrival, Carney’s favor waned. Now most of the power was in Cain’s hands; hearing the difference in titles "Boss" versus "Brother" clearly showed Cain had always been ahead of Carney.
However, the old Shaw would not allow Cain to dominate alone. Carney and Cain had a mutually restraining relationship.
Leah Thorne already sensed the subtle atmosphere. The visit from "Brother" seemed to tense the atmosphere immediately. Not wanting to cause trouble for her brother, she quickly moved aside, blending into the crowd.
At this moment, Carney’s laughter echoed, "Haha, boss, why did you suddenly come to the mainland from Starfall City? You’re not kind, playing by yourself and not inviting me to join."
Upon hearing this voice, Tanya’s hands hanging at her sides quickly clenched into fists, her eyes flashed with cold light.
At this moment, she felt the palm on her shoulder suddenly tighten, and Cain Shaw’s voice came from overhead, "Go in, don’t come out."
Tanya looked up at Cain Shaw; the man was so tall, she had to look up. He appeared casual and unrestrained, as usual, but somehow seemed a bit different.
Cain Shaw’s palm turned, pushing her into the ward, "What, didn’t understand what I said?"
Simple and domineering words, forceful and leaving no room for objection. Tanya looked at his trimmed, neat, and resolute nape.
