However, why would Wesley have the real Shelley’s photo?
He had even saved the photo three years ago, before Shaun hired Shelley as his carer.
Cate recalled that Rosabella escaped from the fire, but the real Shelley, who was swapped with Rosabella, died in the fire. Due to this incident, Charity was framed and sent to jail. When Charity fled later, she jumped into the sea and most likely died.
Could it be that… Wesley was secretly involved in that matter too?
After this scary thought flashed in Cate’s mind, she felt a chill that made her shudder even though it was not the winter season.
Just as she had begun to investigate Wesley, it hit her that he was much more terrifying than she imagined.
How many evil deeds had he done? Her phone rang out of the blue.
It was a call from Austin. “Wesley is coming back. As he’s driving very fast, he’ll arrive at the villa within ten minutes.”
Cate swiftly cleared all her activities on the laptop and sneaked out of the study.
Her heart was still racing madly.
Even so, she could only try her best to pull herself together. She must not let Wesley detect anything unusual.
Seven minutes later, the sound of the car engine rang in the courtyard. Wesley promptly walked in, only to find Cate playing with her phone on the couch. His darkened eyes trembled, and he then asked with an astonished tone, “There’s a blackout in the house, huh?”
“Yeah. The power just went out all of a sudden when I was having dinner.” Cate looked annoyed. “I’ve called the management, but they have no idea what’s going on as well.”
“You should’ve told me immediately.” Wesley extended his hand to stroke her hair.
Cate nearly had goosebumps. “Didn’t you say you have a social function to attend? Why are you home so early?”
“The other party had something urgent, so we didn’t have dinner together. I thought I might as well come home and eat with you. I didn’t expect… Let me call and ask.”
Wesley sat down beside her and called the management.
After contacting the telco company, the management said that someone with a drone accidentally destroyed the nearby cable. Repair works were underway, and it would take an hour or so before power was back on.
“Since it’s going to take a while, let’s go out and watch a movie together. We didn’t get to watch it last time,” Wesley said gently.
“No, I’m tired. I’ll just play with my phone at home.”
Cate did not feel like going out for a movie with him at all.
If it were not for the intention of discovering the truth, she would have divorced Wesley right away.
Back then, she often claimed that Shaun was blind. However, she was not any better than him.
What was worse, she had married Wesley, this devil. After an hour, the power in the house was back on.
Just when Cate was about to go upstairs for a shower, Wesley suddenly pulled her onto his knees and wrapped his hands around her affectionately.
“What’s the matter?” At the thought of Wesley and Regina’s disgusting behavior, she felt like throwing Nevertheless, all she could do was endure it to avoid exposing herself.
“Cate, how much longer are you going to keep me waiting?” Wesley tilted his head to kiss her.
However, Cate could not resist tilting her head to the other side in an attempt to dodge him.
Wesley’s handsome face darkened. At the sight of his expression, a sense of fear subconsciously washed over Cate, and she promptly slipped out of his embrace.
Nevertheless, Wesley was hugging her very tightly, reluctant to let go of her.
“Can’t I even give you a kiss now?” Wesley was infuriated.
He had put up with her these days, but ever since he hit her, he noticed that he had been losing control of the anger simmering within him.
This was because she would rather allow the impotent Shaun than him to touch her.
“Are you going to… hit me again?” Cate instinctively covered her face.
It was her instinct, but she was really frightened as well.
Wesley’s body stiffened, and he instantly hugged her. “No. I won’t hit you anymore. I just love you too much. Cate, I want you.”
His need was so straightforward that even Cate could sense it.
She was completely at a loss for words.
Logan had been keeping him under surveillance all the time. Wesley was still dissatisfied despite doing i t with Regina in the office every day.
Wesley was really a sc*mbag.
When he made such a remark, did he not feel like throwing up?
“Wesley, give me a bit more time…” Cate hedged while dragging her words.
” I always give you time, but how much longer do you actually need?” An imploring look washed over Wesley’s face. “I’ll set a time. We’ll do it this Sunday night. I don’t want to wait any longer.”
Cate widened her eyes, not knowing what to say.
“Go and take a shower.” Wesley freed her.
Only after Cate went upstairs did Wesley turn around and head to his study. He looked around, and it seemed that no one had tampered with his things. However, when he switched on the laptop, it was only left with 25 percent of battery. Before he left this morning, he was aware that his laptop still had 3o percent.
His expression changed all of a sudden.
A moment later, Wesley dialed a number. “Check whose drone destroyed the nearby cable…”
The next day.
Cate dragged herself into the office with a tired body.
Last night, her head was occupied with Wesley’s words and laptop, so she could not fall asleep.
Shortly after, Austin and Logan came. Upon noticing her pale look, Logan asked anxiously, “Did you discover something?”
“Mm.” Cate then told them her presumptions.
Although Logan and Austin did not know much about the incident three years ago, they looked somber after hearing it.
“I think… You cannot stay by his side anymore.” Austin was first to say, “Wesley hides too well.
Although you found something suspicious in his laptop yesterday, you couldn’t find any evidence of his crime. This shows that he’s a cautious person. Now, both of you are basically acting with each other. If he finds out that you’re investigating him, he might stealthily launch a terrifying counterattack.”
Logan nodded. “I agree with Austin. What’s more, Wesley has a murderer from Neah Bay by his side. We don’t even know the murderer’s background, but he knows the two of us like the back of his hand. If we go head -to -head with him, we surely won’t be able to defeat him.”
Cate knitted her brows discontentedly.
If this had happened earlier, she would have carried on with the investigation. However, what Wesley said last night made her realize that his patience with her had begun to wear off.
After leaving the hotel, Wesley got in the car and searched for an overseas number from his contacts.
Soon, a seductive voice of a woman came from the phone. “It’s been three years, Wesley. You’ve finally contacted me again.”
“Rosabella, you should be grateful to me. If it wasn’t for me pleading for your sake back then, Mason might not have kept you alive. After all, you’re a useless piece of chess to him.”
After a moment of silence, Rosabella sneered. ” Everyone said Mason disguised himself well. But if you ask me, you’re the one who’s the most well- disguised. You’ve started scheming three years ago.
Wesley, I’ve never seen a more ruthless person than you. I heard Nathan is dead. You’re the one who killed him, right?”
“You may not be in the country, but you do know quite a lot.”
Wesley’s eyes darkened. “Rosabella, don’t you want to come back? Don’t you want to settle your old scores? Don’t forget who sold you to the mountains and was the reason you got raped. Although Cate and Shaun are divorced, they’re still living well. Meanwhile, your parents are still struggling in jail, and you can’t even return to the country.”
“What do you want me to do this time?” Rosabella quickly caught on.
