“You should let me go out instead,” Mireya said in a low voice, “I feel very awkward staying in here.”
“You’re pregnant. My mom will understand if you stay up here. She can cover up for you as well. If I keep staying upstairs, other people will come in to visit me.” Ryan gave her an encouraging gaze.” Good luck. You’ve experienced it before. I’m different. I’m still an innocent boy.”
Mireya cleared her throat heavily.
Ryan smiled. He turned around and went out.
Mireya was on the verge of crying. She continued her battle inside the room.
Downstairs, Hannah had nearly searched the whole building but she could not spot Shaun at all.
She was infuriated.
The drug Shaun took must have taken effect by now. Where could he have run off to in that state?
If he really could not control it and found another woman to relieve himself, Hannah would spit out a mouthful of blood.
“By the way, have you all seen Cate?” she suddenly said.
“Ah, now that you mention it, I think I haven’t seen her,” Camilla said, “Shaun couldn’t have possibly looked for her—“
“Shut up!” Hannah glared at Camilla viciously. ” If Cate dares to be so shameless, I’ll make her face the consequences. Find Cate for me at once. I already have people guarding the door.
Shaun must still be in here.”
“Hannah, when we searched Ryan’s room, Mireya was there too. Mireya and Cate are good friends, while the Snow and Lyons families are on good terms too. Could Ryan and Mireya be covering up for Cate and Shaun?” Camilla reminded Hannah.
A thought flashed across Hannah’s mind. Camilla had a point there.
“Let’s go up and have a look again. ” Hannah ran upstairs in a hurry.
This time, she did not knock on the door and simply pushed it open.
On the sofa in the room, Cate and Mireya were having a pleasant chat while having fruits. When Hannah suddenly barged in, Mireya was so startled that she patted her chest. “Ah, Miss Mead, what are you doing? Although this is your house, you can’t just come in without knocking first.”
“Why is Madam Sanderson here too?” Hannah stared at Cate carefully. She saw Cate resting an elbow on the sofa while supporting her head with her small hand. Cate’s relaxed and beautiful appearance made Hannah jealous.
She was clearly younger than Cate by a few years, but she could not compare to Cate’s stunning beauty at all. Plus, Cate’s fair skin complemented her black dress. The contrast of black and white accentuated her beauty to the maximum.
“Mireya and I are good friends. Is it weird for us to be chatting here?” Cate raised her eyebrows and refuted while smiling faintly.
“It’s not weird. Sorry to intrude,” Hannah said as she walked inside. “Ah, I suddenly want to use the bathroom.”
She did not wait for Cate and Mireya’s reply. She quickly pushed the bathroom door open. There was no one inside. Apart from the faint fragrance of women’s perfume in the air, it was also very wet inside.
Hannah looked at the showerhead. It was obvious that someone had used the showerhead just now. Shaun had most likely hidden here and even took a cold shower.
When she thought of Cate, who was sitting outside, her body trembled in anger.
She rushed out with a cold expression. Her gaze looked as if she wanted to rip Cate apart. ” Were you and Shaun hiding inside there just now?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, ” Cate replied calmly without any signs of fluster. “I just came up.”
“Stop acting. Cate Cox, how can you be so shameless? You’re already married, yet you still hid in the bathroom and made out with Shaun. I’ve never seen such a cheap woman like you! ” Hannah flew into a fury and started scolding Cate.
The expression on Cate’s pretty face gradually became cold. “Miss Mead, I understand that you like Shaun. Even so, he’s indifferent toward you. You can’t forcibly push the blame on me. Please mind your manners.”
“What right does a shameless woman like you have to educate me?” Hannah scolded.
“We don’t have the right, but I can look for your mom or your dad, ” Mireya said furiously, “We’ll let them educate their daughter properly.”
Hannah snorted. “Mireya Lynch, do you insist on going against me? Let me remind you of this.
Frankly speaking, you’re just Uncle Nathan’s goddaughter. You’re not even his biological daughter. Why are you showing off? Everyone knows that the Snow family took you in as their goddaughter simply out of pity because no one wanted to take responsibility after Rodney had sex with you.”
Mireya’s face went pale.
“Shut your mouth!” Senator Mead’s roar came from behind all of a sudden.
Hannah was startled. She turned back and saw her parents, Heidi, and Ryan standing behind her.
Heidi had an angry expression. “Gavin, is this how you educate your daughter? The Snow family just held a banquet to acknowledge Mireya as our family. I t was also meant to prove Mireya’s status in the Snow family to the outside world. That’s right, she may not be our biological daughter, but everyone in the Snow family treats her like family. It turns out that you, the Mead family, actually look down on m y daughter like this.”
“Madam Snow, that’s not true, ” Senator Mead quickly explained in a low voice, “This is a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” Ryan said coldly, “Uncle Gavin, we heard it with our own ears. My sister and I came to celebrate your daughter’s birthday with kind intentions, yet she was humiliated. This is too much. We don’t think we’ll dare to come to the Mead family’s house in the future.”
Senator Mead got mad at Hannah. “You’d better quickly apologize to Miss Lynch and Miss Cox.”
Hannah was aggrieved. “Dad, you don’t know— ” Slap!
A resounding slap landed on Hannah’s face. Senator Mead pointed at her exasperatedly. “I’ve spoiled you too much that you’ve become so insolent.”
Hannah was stunned. She cried out in disbelief, ” Dad, I didn’t do it on purpose. It was this woman, Cate. She hid in the bathroom and had an affair with Shaun. Mireya covered up for them. I got too annoyed.”
“You’re simply accusing me by shooting your mouth off, Miss Mead, ” Cate said coldly, “Do you have evidence for what you just said?”
“Of course I do. There’s water everywhere in the bathroom.”
Cate snorted upon hearing those words. Ryan touched his nose and said, “I accidentally missed m y aim when I was using the bathroom before, so I washed it away using the showerhead.”
“You’re talking nonsense. You’re just trying to cover up for her… ” Hannah received a death stare from Senator Mead before she could finish speaking.
“Stop talking and just shut up.”
Senator Mead desperately wanted to slap his daughter to death. However, he could only hold it in and apologize at that moment. “Miss Cox, my daughter didn’t know any better and misunderstood you. I apologize to you on her behalf.”
Cate indifferently made a snide comment, ” There’s no need to apologize. It’s just that I won’t dare to come to the Mead family’s house anymore. I have to take the blame for something I didn’t even do. I was sitting in the hall when a servant came over and said Mireya was looking for me. When I went over, the maid wanted to push me into the pool. Luckily, I had quick reflexes and avoided her. However, the servant climbed back up and said I was the one who pushed her.”
Mireya was taken aback. ” I wasn’t looking for you! ” “That’s right. You weren’t looking for me, yet the servant said you were. I interrogated her, but the servant refused to admit it. I didn’t dare to go elsewhere because of that incident, so I had no choice but to chat with you in the room. Not long after, Miss Mead ran in and said Shaun and I were having an affair.”
Cate said expressionlessly, “Miss Mead, you have a special status, so you can just say whatever you want. However, have you ever considered that I’m a married woman? If rumors spread and everyone simply believes them, my reputation will be utterly ruined because of you.”
Senator Mead did not expect Cate to be so unforgiving. Nevertheless, Heidi was at the side. He could only keep apologizing. “I didn’t expect that you’ve been wronged so badly. I’ll definitely have m y daughter give you an apology. I’ll immediately fire that servant too. Not a word about today’s incident will go out.”
“Dad…” Hannah’s tears of resentment flowed.
“Hannah, apologize. If you don’t apologize today, you’re no longer my daughter, ” Senator Mead warned sternly.
Hannah gritted her teeth. She had no choice but to hold back her hatred and say to Cate and Mireya, “I’m sorry.”
“Are you a mosquito? I can’t hear you at all.” Mireya dug her ears.
“I said I’m sorry.” Hannah pushed away the people around her and ran after saying that loudly.
Senator Mead asked with a dark expression, “Miss Cox, are you satisfied with this?”
“Actually, I don’t harbor any dissatisfaction. I just think that Miss Mead is still too young. If you keep letting her have her way, she may bring trouble to you in the future, Senator Mead. I hope you can understand my sincere intentions, ” Cate said humbly.
“Thank you for that. ” Those were the words that came out from Senator Mead’s mouth, but he had the urge to rip Cate apart in his heart.
Heidi sighed. She said, “You should go and console Hannah. After all, it’s her birthday. We should be leaving too. It’s quite late.”
“I’ll see you all off.”
Senator Mead saw them off at the door while forcing a smile. Wesley quickly rushed over after receiving Senator Mead’s message.
He had been playing poker with a few other politicians. Suddenly, he received Senator Mead’s message asking him to take Cate and leave first. Although Senator Mead said it was due to the late hour, Wesley understood that he was being asked to leave.
He did not know what Cate had done that made him be ¡®asked’ to leave the villa so early by Senator Mead.
Fury raged in Wesley’s stomach. However, he held i t back when he saw that Heidi was present.
