Matthew was stunned for a few seconds. Hera Imm.
Heroine?
How interesting.
He left the place with his long legs. After getting into the car, he received a call from Sheryl. “You little brat, did you secretly run off to Australia?”
“Mom, I reached Melbourne last night.” Matthew chuckled. “Didn’t I mention to you that I wanted to visit your hometown? When I finish making the arrangements, you and Dad can come back. I went to see Uncle and Aunty this morning and asked about Grandpa and Grandma’s graves. I’m planning to go pay my respects later.”
When Sheryl heard his words, she forgot to lecture him and only asked after a moment of silence, “Are your uncle and aunt well?”
“Not really. They’ve been locked up in prison for a few years and seem to have gotten older, but Uncle does have some resemblance to you.”
Matthew said, “Just in case, I also asked around the old Cox family’s residence. There used to be a Cox family there, and they had a daughter called Sheryl Cox. However, she got into an accident out at sea 2o years ago. Jeffery Cox also had two daughters, Cate and Rosabella Cox. Cate was raised by them since she was a child, but Rosabella was trafficked when she was a child. They found her after that.”
“You suspect that what Rosabella said was false?” Sheryl frowned. “You did the paternity test. She’s indeed my child.”
” I know, I was just checking to be sure, ” Matthew said, “Mom, it’s no wonder such beautiful women like you can be found in Melbourne. It’s been less than a day since I arrived but I already met a beauty whose looks are comparable to yours when you were young. She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve seen besides you. Although you’re also beautiful, you’re not young anymore—“
“You little brat. How dare you say your mom isn’t young? Do you want to die?” Titus’ roar suddenly sounded.
Matthew’s hand trembled, as he did not expect his father to be listening. After all, Titus was a wife- protecting maniac. “I was wrong, Dad. That woman is just a little inferior to Mom. I feel like… I’ve fallen in love with her at first sight.”
“Pfft…” Sheryl, who was drinking water, spewed out the water in shock and coughed violently.
“Dear, are you alright?” Titus hurriedly patted Sheryl’s back and yelled into the phone, “Matthew Costner, do you want to die? You sneaked off to Australia without a word and dared to hit on a woman there? Have you forgotten about your mother’s affairs?”
” I didn’t forget, Dad. I just coincidentally met that woman. She saved me too.” Matthew smiled. “I think this is the once-in-a-lifetime feeling you told me you had when you first met Mom. But she’s a few years older than me. You won’t mind, right?”
“You rascal, if you dare to find a woman older than you, I’ll break your bones, ” Titus warned him. ” Your identity isn’t ordinary, so the person you marry in the future must be an extraordinary person. There are some things you shouldn’t even think about wanting.”
“Fine, I was just saying. I don’t even know her name or number.” Matthew pouted.
“Stop messing around. Get your aunt and uncle out much about the culture here.”
“You already said that it was ancient times. This is the modern era. Just talk according to how you would in your country, ” Cate explained in amusement.
“Oh.” Matthew nodded. “In that case, beautiful lady, may I ask for your name?”
“Mom, I’m sorry. Even after so many years, I failed to find your murderer. ” Cate sighed and left after paying her respects.
About half an hour after she left, Matthew arrived.
He saw the flowers left on the grave and froze. It was not All Soul’s Day. Why had someone visited the two elderly? Did the Cox family have other relatives?
Was it Cate Cox?
However, was she not the one who killed Old Madam Cox? How dare she pay respects to the woman?
Sure enough, if a person was vicious enough, they would not be afraid of anything.
After paying his respects, he walked around and found Sheryl’s grave near the two elders. The photo on the tombstone was one of when his mother was young.
It seemed like what Rosabella said was true.
His mother’s real name was Sheryl Cox. However, since she was not dead, there was no need for the tomb to exist.
Matthew wondered if he should get someone to demolish Sheryl’s grave, lest it brought about bad luck.
At 4:00 p.m.
Cate went to the Lynch residence.
The Lynch family crowded around Mireya, but no one paid attention to Rodney.
“Cate, I haven’t seen you in so long. You’ve become even more beautiful than before.” Mrs. Lynch held Cate and said, “Thank you for taking care of Mireya when you were in the States. “
“Don’t say that. She also took care of me a lot.” Cate smiled faintly.
” It’s a shame. ” Mrs. Lynch suddenly laughed. ” If you weren’t with Nathan back then, I would’ve wanted to make you my daughter-in-law.”
Rodney’s ears perked up when he heard them. Was Shaun going to have another love rival?
Mireya rolled her eyes. “Forget it. I seriously wonder if my brother is allergic to women.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Mr. Lynch glared at her.
Mrs. Lynch sighed. “It’s not Mireya’s fault for saying that. Look, I’ve arranged so many marriage partners for him but he hasn’t taken a fancy to any of them. I’m really worried that he likes men.”
Cate smiled and comforted her, “Aunty, don’t let your imagination run wild. Maybe his Mrs. Right hasn’t appeared yet.”
“Maybe.” Mrs. Lynch had just finished nodding when the security guard at the gate ran in. ” Madam, two people from the Jackson family came and are waiting outside. They said they have to see you two.”
Mrs. Lynch paused, but Mireya was quick to react. ” It’s probably Patrick’s parents. They failed to find me in Canberra, so they’ve come to my home in Melbourne.”
“Hmph, their son hurt you so badly but they still have the nerve to come here.” Mr. Lynch struck the table in anger.
“They probably want to save Patrick.” Mireya hesitated and glanced at Rodney. “I heard from Godfather that Patrick will stay in prison for the rest of his life.”
“For life?” Mr. and Mrs. Lynch were stunned.
Although they hated Patrick, they thought that the Snow family would just ruin Jackson Corporation at most. They did not expect Patrick to be locked up for life. In that case, there was no more hope left for Patrick. It was no wonder his parents were so anxious.
Rodney glanced at the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and said, “You have to understand the severity of Patrick’s actions this time. My uncle is only a step away from becoming prime minister, but Patrick provoked my uncle recklessly. Whether or not he committed a misdemeanor or a felony, no one can provoke the authority of the future prime minister. My uncle is really angry this time.”
The Lynch family was shocked.
Nathan Snow was akin to half an emperor. How could ordinary people withstand an emperor’s wrath?
“Let them come in, ” Mireya said after a long time.
Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson came in. When they saw that Mireya and Rodney were present, they looked as though they had seen their saviors.
“Mireya, Young Master Snow. ” Mr. Jackson gritted his teeth. Without caring about anything else, he knelt in front of Mireya and Rodney with a thud. “My son was foolish. I beg you two to let him go. We can give all the Jackson family’s properties to the Snow family, but I only have one son. Mireya, I’m begging you.”
“Yes, ” Mrs. Jackson also choked and said, “We really didn’t know he would do such a ridiculous thing. He must have been out of his mind. Mireya, in fact, Patrick has always been thinking about you— “
Rodney’s brows twisted as he subconsciously interrupted them, ” Do the people around Patrick like to kneel so much? Are you going to kneel until we agree? Oh, are you recording this as well? When you go out, will you tell others that the Snow family is bullying you?”
“No, absolutely not.” Mr. and Mrs. Jackson’s faces went red. “We’re not Linda.”
“chairman Jackson, we’re from the same generation. Get up,” Mr. Lynch hurriedly said.
” I… “
Mrs. Jackson was tearful and did not want to get up. In the end, Mr. Jackson sighed and pulled her up. “
Chairman Lynch, to tell you the truth, I really didn’t know about this matter. If I knew that Patrick would do something like this, I would definitely have stopped him. Jackson Corporation’s development has been going well these years, so I let him go to the capital to expand, but I didn’t expect… I know that he messed with the wrong people this time, and it’s definitely impossible for him to get away scot-free. I’ll give away all the family assets to get him back…”
“You’re not a fool, ” Mr. Lynch took a sip of tea and said in a light tone.
“Unfortunately, I gave birth to a foolish son. He overestimated his capabilities.”
Mr. Jackson said honestly, “But I can’t do anything about it now. I only have one son. Mireya, Patrick will never be able to make up what he owes you, but it’s not just his fault. If we had realized that Linda liked him back then, we wouldn’t have let Linda work in the company with him. Since you hate Linda, we’ll make sure he never contacts her again…”
“Uncle, do you really think I have a say in this matter?”
Mireya interrupted him, “Patrick is just an ordinary president of a company, but a person like him tried to make a move against the future prime minister. If he’s not dealt with harshly, the same thing will happen in the future. There are some things that the younger generation like us aren’t able to interfere with.”
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson froze at the same time. “What… do you mean?”
“I mean that if you still want to enjoy your old age in peace, stop going around and pleading for Patrick.”
