Shaun could not be bothered about him at first. However, considering that Rodney reported the matter to him last night and even helped him get rid of his love rival, he spoke up. “Miss Lynch, Rodney is my buddy. He hopes that Cate and I have a stable relationship. He only told me to prevent any guys from swooping in on us. On the other hand, your behavior tells me that you’re trying to coax Cate into looking for the handsome young guy. Let me remind you that you can go ahead and look for one, but Cate can’t.”
Rodney felt aggrieved. How ungrateful of Shaun. What did he mean by Mireya could do it? In that case, Rodney would be cuckolded.
“Did you see me coaxing Cate into looking for the handsome young guy?” Mireya snorted and said, ” It’s true that Cate is in a relationship with you, but you can’t keep her from appreciating handsome young guys. What’s more, can’t she make friends with someone of the opposite s*x?”
Shaun’s brows sank. “If those guys have an ulterior motive, I won’t be able to accept it.”
“You seem to think that every man who approaches Cate has an ulterior motive.” Mireya grinned and raised her brows at Cate.
Cate rubbed her forehead. “Alright. Stop arguing. Shaun, I think you should trust me.”
“Cate, are you taking her side?” Shaun felt as though his heart had shattered.
“Is she supposed to take your side if not mine?” Mireya raised her brows provocatively. “Don’t forget that I’ve been with her through those ups and downs in her life. I’ve never been absent.”
Shaun was at a loss for words.
Rodney said leisurely, “Shaun, you can never convince her.”
Cate laughed secretly. As she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.
“Hi, is this Miss Cox? I’m a staff member of the cemetery. Your family’s tomb was destroyed last night.”
“What?” Cate’s face turned ghastly. “Whose tomb?”
“Sheryl Cox’s. ” The staff said, “When we went there this morning, the tomb had already been dug open. Everything inside is missing.”
“I’ll come right away.” Cate leaped to her feet.
“What’s wrong?” Shaun looked at her anxiously. It had been a while since he saw her so furious.
” Someone destroyed my mom’s tomb last night.” Cate clenched her fists.
“Who did that? How wicked,” Mireya roared indignantly.
“Let me accompany you there and have a look.” Shaun caressed her shoulder.
An hour later, Shaun drove her to the cemetery.
When Cate walked up to Sheryl’s tomb, she realized that not only had her tomb destroyed, but her tombstone had also been ruined. Sheryl’s name had been scribbled on so badly that it could not be seen. Even her photo was missing.
That photo… was Cate’s only keepsake of her mother.
Cate was so exasperated that she curled her fingers in a fist and her eyes reddened. “Who is this wicked person who destroyed my mom’s tomb?”
“Could it be… Wesley?” Shaun asked.
“I have no idea.” Cate shook her head in bewilderment. It baffled her as to why Sheryl’s tomb was destroyed. Although it was merely a cenotaph without Sheryl’s ashes, the destroyer’s act was still considered profane and disrespectful.
“Miss Cox, we found this note in front of your family’s tomb this morning.” The staff passed her a white note.
Cate unfolded it and saw a sentence written on it. [Cate Cox, I’m back. I’ll start settling the scores with you, one by one.]
All of a sudden, she shuddered.
For some reason, she had never shuddered like this before, not even after learning of Wesley’s past.
In her eyes, Wesley was loathsome but not scary. It was because she had seen his true colors.
However, the person who wrote this note must be hiding somewhere. She had no idea when and how this person would attack her.
“Do you know who this person is?” Shaun held her hands that had started to tremble.
“It’s Rosabella. It must be her.” Cate gnashed her teeth.
After Shelley’s passing, Rosabella seemed to have vanished into thin air. Nevertheless, Cate had a feeling that Rosabella would come back. Now, she was actually back.
With Rosabella’s viciousness, destroying one’s tomb was something she would do.
Shaun furrowed his brows.
He was hazy about what happened in the past, but he still remembered Rosabella.
Seemingly, she was a brutal woman. He was the one who sent her to the mountains, but she fled after that.
“Cate, don’t worry. I’m here. This time, I’ll definitely kill this woman for you, ” Shaun said firmly.
“You’re wrong. I have a bad feeling. Since Rosabella is bold enough to make such a provocative remark, it means that something unexpected might have happened to her over the years. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to deal with her now.”
Cate knitted her brows. “Yesterday, I heard that Uncle and Aunt are going to be released from prison. I couldn’t get my head around it previously. However, I’ve got it now. I’m afraid Rosabella might be plotting something.”
Shaun was startled. “Weren’t they sentenced to more than ten years?”
“Yeah. They’ve killed and stolen their family’s assets, yet they’ll be released in just three years.” Cate let out a bitter laugh. “Well, the current Rosabella should be no ordinary woman.”
“Cate, I’ll protect you no matter what happens.” Shaun could not help but hug her. Only at this point did it dawn on him that she was shaking.
He was not sure whether she was shaking because of anger or for some other reason.
“Shaun, you won’t understand. Sometimes, I think people like Rosabella and Sarah are hard to eliminate. I might appear to be at an advantage, but when it comes to dealing with Rosabella, I’m a real loser, ” Cate said miserably.
Rosabella had contributed to her grandmother’s death, but the murderer was soon to be released.
Rosabella also contributed to Charity’s death, but Charity’s dead body was nowhere to be found, and Rosabella was going to return.
“I really feel useless.”
Cate said with her eyes red, “My mom didn’t leave anything for me, but even her cenotaph has been ruined. Meanwhile, you still need to deal with Charlie, and I need to deal with Wesley. We also don’t know when Sarah will attack us again, and now Rosabella is back. Will we be able to handle all of them?”
“Cate, that ferocious bunch has surrounded us all these years, yet we’ve still managed to come this far. Since we can’t see through their plans, they won’t be able to see through ours too.” Shaun stroked her hair softly. “If there comes a day where you’re exhausted, we’ll leave this place. There’s a bigger world outside Australia. Anywhere is home a s long as I’m with you and the kids.”
Cate was swayed by his words. It was true, So what if she had many enemies? If she could not cope with the situation, she should not go head-to- head or die with them.
It was because she had to protect herself for the sake of the kids.
“That sounds like a good idea. Having said that, those evil people are the ones who are in the wrong. I don’t want to leave in a sorry state.” Cate took a deep breath. “If Rosabella wants to come back, it’s not all bad either. Coincidentally, I want to settle the old scores with her, one by one.”
“Let’s settle this first,” Shaun whispered. Cate nodded.
Now that Sheryl’s tomb had been destroyed, she had no choice but to get the cemetery staff to re ¨C carve a tombstone for now. She also reported the incident to the police to find out who dug the tomb last night.
Unfortunately, this cemetery had always been desolate. The destroyer of the tomb seemed to have come in from the back of the mountains, where there were no surveillance cameras around. As such, the police could not trace anything.
A five—star hotel.
Matthew lazily lay on the rocking chair in front of the French window.
He was holding a wine glass with some maroon liquid in it. As the rocking chair swayed, the wine in his glass also shook.
“Alas.”
Matthew had sighed for the nth time.
It was not easy for him to fall for a woman. When he finally did, he found out that the woman had a husband and children before he could progress his relationship with her.
He was quite fond of Carrie, but he did not know where to draw the line. Considering that she already had a family, he should not ruin it.
“Young Master Costner…”
A tall and slender subordinate of his walked up to him. “I’ve completed the task that you assigned to me.”
The subordinate handed a photo to Matthew. It was a photo of Matthew’s mother on the tombstone.
