“I’ll hang up now. But thank you so much for this. ” Mireya quickly hung up the phone.
Patrick had also heard Rodney’s voice. Rodney seemed to be very irritated, and Mireya’s voice sounded flustered just now. It made him feel that Mireya’s life in the Snow family was not good. It even seemed as if she constantly had to be careful.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.
If only they had not broken up back then. Then, she would not have to marry a man who did not care about her at all.
In the villa.
Mireya put down her phone and looked at Rodney who had an apron on. She raised her brows, asking, “Is the food ready?”
“Mireya, you have a lot of nerve to ask me for food now.”
Rodney looked just like a jealous husband. “I’m busting my *ss cooking for you in the kitchen, but you’re hiding on the balcony to call your old flame. Don’t think I didn’t hear you call out Patrick’s name so intimately. Did you forget how he beat you up before? Don’t be such a sucker.”
“Didn’t I tell you this morning? I’m only doing this because I need to get inside information from him,” Mireya snapped at him.
“Do you think he’s an idiot? With how you treated him before, why would he help you?” Rodney scolded her.
Mireya chuckled. “You really don’t understand men. He already told me a piece of big news.”
Rodney froze, and his expression darkened. “Why did he suddenly give you information? By the way, I heard you went out today. Mireya Lynch, did you do anything with your old lover? Did you kiss him?
Hug him? Did you say something ambiguous to him and let him think that you’re still in love with him?”
“Don’t think so badly of me.” Mireya gave him a side glance. “We just had a heart-to-heart chat.”
“Heart- to-heart chat?” Rodney almost vomited blood. “You’re my wife, but you secretly met up with your old lover. How shameless are you?
Besides, don’t think I didn’t hear you. Your tone when you talked to him was incredibly gentle.”
“I can’t help it. If I don’t do that, how will I make him feel guilty and be willing to help me?”
“Mireya. ” Rodney gnashed his teeth. ” I’m warning you, this is the last time. I don’t want to see you contacting that man again. I’m not dead yet.”
“Why are you getting so worked up?” Mireya pouted. “Are you… jealous?”
“Pfft. I’m jealous?”
Rodney flew into a fury. “What’s wrong with me being jealous? Can’t I get jealous because of my wife?”
Mireya was dumbfounded.
This was contrary to her expectations. She thought Rodney would deny it stoutly, but…
Her face was burning with shame instead.
Rodney felt humiliated at first, but as soon as he saw her blush without saying a word, the sense of humiliation in him instantly disappeared. ” Anyhow, bear my words in mind. If this happens again, I’ll look for Patrick and tell him that you’re taking advantage of him.”
Mireya felt a surge of emotions in her chest.” Whatever. Go away. I’m going to call cathy.”
“I’m not going away. Who knows whether you’re going to take the opportunity to call Patrick when I turn around.” Rodney directly dragged a chair over and sat on it.
He recalled overhearing Mireya speak to Patrick so gently on the phone just now.
Yet to him, she either yelled or criticized.
What a huge difference in the way she treated them.
“Suit yourself. ” Mireya gave up on him. So, she just turned a blind eye to him and called Cate. ” Patrick just called me and said that Linda went to Zenith Clubhouse. Shortly after, Rosabella and Cindy showed up together.”
“It really is her.”
Cate was overwhelmed with distress. She hoped her assumption was wrong, but it turned out that she was right. “Cindy went too.”
“What’s so strange about it? Rosabella has been close to Cindy ever since they were in Melbourne.” Mireya said with a snort, “Rosabella surely knows that Cindy is going to marry Chester, so she wants to fawn over her since she’s well-connected. But Cindy, tsk, she’s terrible.”
“We already have a grudge against these three people. If Sarah joins them…” Cate’s head hurt.
“What are your plans? Why don’t we go to the clubhouse now and catch Rosabella to probe her? ” Mireya suggested casually.
“Alright.”
“Huh?” Mireya was startled, thinking that she had heard it wrong. “I was joking. I thought you wouldn’t want to sound the alarm now.”
“I really didn’t want to. But when I got some people to tail Jeffery and Sally the last time, Logan and Austin ended up injured. What if something happens to the people who tail her again this time? I don’t want to sacrifice any Liona members. I might as well go and meet Rosabella now. In the meantime, I can also find out how powerful she is.”
Cate added, “Quickly finish off your meal. We’ll head there together afterward.”
“Oh, okay.”
Mireya promptly nodded.
“Explain this to Rodney. I didn’t want to drag you into this at first because you’re pregnant, but… I’m worried that if I don’t bring you along, I might not be able to leave the place in one piece, ” Cate explained helplessly.
“I understand.”
Upon ending the call, Mireya turned her eyes to Rodney awkwardly.
Rodney looked grim as he had probably gotten the message. “Are you planning to head to Zenith Clubhouse with your protruding stomach?”
“I’m the goddaughter of the future prime minister. With my status, nobody would dare to do anything to me, ” Mireya explained with a frown. “I must go there tonight.”
” I don’t get it. This is Cate’s business. Why must you get yourself into this mess?” Rodney could not help but moan.
“Shaun is your buddy. Now that Rosabella wants to target him, are you going to watch as he becomes down and out?” Mireya asked.
Rodney immediately went silent.
Only after Mireya entered the house and finished her meal did he say helplessly, “You can go, but you must bring me along.”
Mireya threw a glance at him and nodded in the end.
4o minutes later, Cate drove to Mireya’s villa.
After getting into the car, Rodney knitted his brows. “Why are you alone? Isn’t Shaun going?”
“The police are at Lyons Corporation again, and he’s tied up at the moment. I didn’t tell him, lest he worries about it,” Cate replied.
“If you don’t tell him, he’ll worry even more if something happens,” Rodney said in a huff.
“Well, I have the two of you with me.” Cate grinned. “No matter how far Rosabella goes, I believe she won’t be bold enough to attack the Snow family. What’s more, she has laid low for a long time before returning. I think she’s planning to torture me bit by bit and strip me of everything before she pushes me into the abyss. It’ll be meaningless for her to kill me in an instant.”
Rodney shot Cate a complicated look.
He felt that Cate had become increasingly unpredictable and good at figuring out what was on people’s minds, just like Shaun.
Upon arriving at Zenith Clubhouse, Rodney flashed his membership card. Then, they went through several security checks before taking an elevator to the top floor.
” It’s my first time here, but they have really tight security.” Mireya sighed and said to Rodney, “You own a clubhouse too, don’t you? It doesn’t seem as strict as this place.”
Rodney answered with mixed feelings, ” Because the owner of this clubhouse is no ordinary person. “
“Who is it?” Cate asked curiously.
“The current prime minister’s grandson, Bryce Zeller.” Rodney said, “Although he’s two years my junior, he’s not simple. He even wanted to compete with my uncle to run for prime minister at first, but unfortunately, he’s too young. After my uncle steps down, Bryce and Ryan will surely run neck and neck for the post in the future election.”
Mireya was stunned. She found this matter complex.
Rodney continued indifferently, “With Snow Corporation as strong backing, the Snow family has an edge over Bryce. Having said that, Bryce privately hobnobs with many wealthy people, and this is the clubhouse where he serves them. That’s why we rarely come here.”
“But Rosabella and Cindy came here too,” Cate suddenly said, “Could Rosabella have played up to Bryce?”
