"Shaun, this is the second time you're accusing me because of that woman." Rodney was angry too. " Shelley is Sarah's sister. Sarah isn’t here anymore. I'm doing this to protect her family." 2
"Yes, I always thought the same too. That's why I gave up on my principles for the sake of Sarah again and again. All these years, how many evil deeds have Thomas committed?!
"Four years ago, he caused someone's death. All of the evidence pointed to him, yet I endured the whole of Australia criticizing me and fought the lawsuit for him. After that case, I hated my occupation and withdrew from the lawyer community. All these years, I let Hugh target me all he wanted and you know it.
Rodney was silent.
Shaun held Catherine's hand tightly. "I defended Thomas for four years, and I even gave the Neeson family a lesson when they were pressuring the Langley family. However, that has caused problems in my marriage. People have to look forward eventually. I can’t be tied to Sarah for the rest of my life. It's unfair t 0 Catherine."
Rodney gritted his teeth discontentedly. "So this is the love you gave Sarah in the past? It seems like it’s not a big deal after all."
"She's already dead. Perhaps... you love her more than I do."
Rodney’s body jerked. Shaun knew.
"If you're still my good friend and brother, I hope you'll treat my wife with more respect in the future."
Shaun ended the call and stared straight at Catherine who was in a daze.
Her brain was in a mess.
She had previously heard that Shaun was Australia's top lawyer, but he suddenly vanished from the industry one day. It turned out that it was due to Thomas.
Not only that, Rodney liked Sarah?
What cheesy plot twist was that?
"Cathy, I will let go of the past for you. Let's look forward now, okay?" Shaun said seriously.
