Chapter 1454

Shaun lowered his eyes full of guilt. To put it bluntly, the scars he inflicted on her would always be
there. “Cathy, I was angry today because I was afraid of losing you. Think about it. If one day, I lied to
you and said that I was eating with a colleague, but you found out that I was actually eating with a
young girl you don’t know, would you feel uncomfortable?”

Catherine bit her lips. If she were in his shoes, she would indeed feel uncomfortable.

“Sorry. I… won’t meet him in the future.”

“There’s no need for that,” Shaun rubbed her head and suddenly smiled. “Didn’t you say it yourself?
You think of him as a younger brother. I should trust you more. Just don’t lie to me next time.”

“You really… won’t mind?” Catherine was stunned.

“Only him. It doesn’t apply for others, ” Shaun said faintly. “Don’t worry, although I agree for you to
continue meeting him, I’ll never eat or go out with other young girls alone.”

Catherine’s heart softened at his words. She stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to hook her
arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips. “ Thank you, Shaunny. Don’t worry. At most, I’ll help
Matthew have a look when he wants to buy a house. He really doesn’t know much about the capital. If
he invites me for dinner, I’ll call you too. If you don’t go, I won’t eat alone with him either.”

“Okay.” Shaun felt his mouth taste as sweet as honey from her kiss.

If they were not in a public area, he wanted nothing more than to pull her into his arms and give her a
long and hot kiss. “Cathy, did you say that he wanted to buy a house in Canberra?”

“Yeah, he said his parents would come back and settle down for a while,” Catherine said.



“Do you know what his family does?” Shaun asked.



“He said he owns banks, but I’ m not sure either. After all, he’s still so young.” Catherine thought about
it. “By the way, I saw that he has the same black card as you. His status must be pretty extraordinary.”

Shaun’s eyebrows raised. “ Cathy, you might not know this, but my black card was issued in Country L,
and there are only fifty cards in the world. The

only people who can get the black card are old families standing on the top of the pyramid in various
countries around the world. The Campos family was the number one family in the country before, but
Mason was not qualified to apply for one because the Campos family only rose to the top for a short
amount of time.”

Catherine was stunned for a long time. “You mean that Matthew was born in a family that’s on the top
of the pyramid in another country, and his family has stood at the top for hundreds of years?”

“Maybe it’s more than that,” Shaun shook his head and frowned. “If his parents want to come here,
then their status is probably higher than mine. I wonder why such powerful people are suddenly coming
here. I’m afraid Canberra’s business world won’t be peaceful for long.”

Catherine’s eyes flashed. “By the way, you asked him if he was from the Costner family in Neah Bay.
Have you heard of that last name before?”

“Yeah, ” Shaun nodded. He lowered his eyes and thought deeply, suddenly remembering the familiarity
Catherine felt towards Matthew. Would a person suddenly feel that way for another person?

Could Matthew Costner really be from that Costner family?



Why did he suddenly appear here?

Furthermore, why did he meet Catherine multiple times coincidentally?

“Shaunny, stop thinking about it, ” Catherine pulled his hand. “I think that Matthew is a good person.
Even if his family wants to develop here, at most, you’ll be healthy business competitors. Or are you
worried that your position as the richest man in the country would be taken away?”
