Rodney shook her head with a frown. “Given that Bryce is very secretive, he won’t be bothered to socialize with people whom he finds worthless. He won’t act impulsively for the sake of a woman either. Besides, he has tried to make friends with Shaun before. Although Shaun has been lukewarm to him, he won’t be so foolish to the extent of attacking Shaun.”
Cate disapproved of his views. “What if Bryce i s interested in the force behind Rosabella?”
Rodney instantly kept quiet.
Once the elevator arrived at the top floor, the three of them walked out.
This was the highest floor in the whole of Canberra, and Cate seemed to have figured out why this place was named Zenith Clubhouse. Standing here made her feel as if she was at the zenith of the sky. Any of the furnishings here was worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
“Young Master Snow, what brings you to Zenith Clubhouse?”
A pretty female manager walked up to Rodney with a smile. When she caught a glimpse of Mireya and Cate, she was dumbfounded. “You even brought Madam Snow and Miss Cox over.”
Cate was secretly astonished. This female manager was not a simple person, considering that she could recognize them instantly.
Rodney seized Mireya’s waist and said with a grin, ” We happened to pass by this area. My wife said she has never been to Zenith Clubhouse, and she’d like to have fun with her best friend, so I brought them here.”
Mireya felt awkward at how intimately Rodney was hugging her in public. However, she knew Rodney’s behavior was only for show, so she did not push him away.
“You really love your wife a lot, Young Master Snow. ” The female manager was a clever person. She said while beaming, “You’re really blessed, Young Madam Snow.”
Mireya simpered without saying a word.
People like the female manager would be aware of what happened between Rodney and Sarah in the past, yet she still spoke sweetly to Mireya. Mireya could care less about them.
“By the way, I saw Young Master Zeller’s car downstairs. Since I’m here, I should go and say hi to him. Where’s he?” Rodney lied, trying to probe the manager. In fact, he did not see Bryce’s car.
The female manager said with a smile, “Some of his friends happen to be here, so he has gone to greet them.”
“Oh, right. I might know his friends too, ” Rodney replied while grinning.
Cate suddenly said softly, “Let’s not disturb them.”
“Yeah, ” Mireya whispered, “I just wanted to look around.”
“You know nothing. This is common courtesy.” Rodney said with a snort, “Do you know who Young Master Zeller is? He’s the prime minister’s grandson.”
A dumbfounded look flashed across Mireya’s face. ” Only if you could greet him.”
After some thought, the female manager nodded. ” He’s on the second floor. Let me take you guys there.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she led the way.
Rodney moved closer to Mireya’s ear from the back and whispered with a smirk, “Hey, don’t you think we work well together?”
He put his hand around her waist and murmured those coquettish words in her ear.
At that moment, Mireya felt ticklish. As much as she tried to break free from him, Rodney’s grip around her waist was tight. “Stop moving around. If we don’t act lovey-dovey, other people might suspect us.”
Mireya secretly glowered at him.
She could not understand why she had to act lovey- dovey with him as though she was a spy when, in fact, she just came to the nightclub for a visit.
Soon, the female manager stopped in front of a private room and knocked on the door lightly.
A bodyguard-looking man soon opened the door. ” Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Young Master Zeller. I’m his friend.” Rodney pushed the bodyguard away and barged in. He ran directly to the man who was seated in the middle of the couch and greeted him enthusiastically, “Hi, Young Master Zeller. It’s been a while since we met.”
Upon realizing that Rodney was friends with Young Master Zeller, the bodyguard lowered his guard.
Cate and Mireya also took the opportunity to enter the private room. There were only four people in the spacious room.
Among these four people, Cate knew everyone except Young Master Zeller.
The three people she knew were Cindy, Linda, and… Rosabella.
Today, Rosabella was wearing a red maxi dress and dressed much more beautifully than she did three years ago. Her face was still the same at first glance. However, upon a closer look, it was quite different from before. Evidently, she had undergone plastic surgery. Although she looked pretty with a pointed chin, she appeared stiff and relatively unnatural compared to Cindy beside her.
Rosabella turned her eyes to Cate, and her expression slightly shifted.
Nevertheless, her red lips soon curled up into a grin.
She did not expect Cate would discover her whereabouts so soon. She might be a little surprised, but it did not affect her much.
On the contrary, Cindy and Linda were visibly taken aback by Cate and Mireya’s coming.
“Young Master Snow, what brings you to Zenith today?” Bryce patted Rodney on the shoulder with a grin. They seemed to be on friendly terms.
“I think Young Master Snow and his wife came here to look for me.”
Rosabella’s lips curled up into a smile. Holding a glass of red wine, she cast a pensive look at Cate and toasted her. “I wonder how you guys know I’m here.”
Bryce’s face froze. Then, he shifted his confused gaze to Rodney. “Young Master Snow, this…”
“Young Master Zeller, it seems like your friend knows my wife.” Rodney pretended to look surprised.
“Young Master Snow, stop pretending. Not only do we know each other, but we’re also deeply entangled with each other.” Could not be bothered to play along with him, Rosabella said bluntly, “My dear cousin, have you received the letter I asked someone to send you?”
“Yeah. I didn’t expect you to be so wicked to destroy your biological aunt’s tomb.” Cate moved closer to Rosabella. A smile spread across her face as she gazed at Rosabella. “You’ve only grown crueler in the four years you’ve been away. You’re still as ugly as ever.”
Bryce’s face darkened, then he roared, “You’d better watch your words.”
Cate frowned, and Rodney immediately asked, “Young Master Zeller, what’s wrong? Is this woman your girlfriend?”
“I’m trying to make her my girlfriend.” Bryce answered with a mirthless smile, “That’s why you guys should treat her with respect.”
Upon hearing that, Rosabella chortled smugly. Linda immediately beamed and said, “Cate, do you think you can still bully Rosabella like how you used to? Young Master Zeller, if you’re really interested in pursuing Rosabella, you need to deal with Miss Cox tonight. If it weren’t for her, Rosabella wouldn’t have had to hide overseas.”
Rosabella smirked in silence, implying her acknowledgment of Linda’s words.
Bryce responded with a grin, “That’s a piece of cake.”
With that, his voice turned cold. “Guards.” “Young Master Zeller.”
Subsequently, a few bodyguards walked in.
Bryce gestured at Cate with his chin. “Treat Miss Cox nicely.”
“Young Master Zeller, what are you trying to do?” Rodney stood in front of Cate, his face turning grave. “Let me remind you that she’s Shaun Lyons’s woman.”
” Shaun Lyons?” Bryce gave a condescending sneer. ” The Lyons family is going to disappear from the Australian scene in no time. Why would I care about him?”
“But do you believe that I’ll make you disappear before he does?” Cate asked with an indifferent tone. However, her eyes were cold and piercing.
Mireya gasped with fright.
How dare Cate make such a remark in front of Bryce? She was taking her life into her hands.
Even Rodney could not help but raise his thumb as if to say, “You’re f*cking amazing.”
“What did you say?” Bryce laughed right away.
However, his laughter was filled with wickedness and astonishment.
Cate glanced at Rosabella, who was watching the drama. “Although I have no idea why the prime minister’s grandson has chosen to curry favor with this woman who has undergone plastic surgery, I’m guessing it has to do with the person behind her. I’m sure this person isn’t an Australian. However, you need to be clear that this is Australia. Lyons Corporation might be subjected to investigation at this point, but it’s not falling apart nor charged with anything either. I can still deal with you as long as Lyons Corporation is around. If you want to deal with me, go ahead. But there is no need to hurry. Take your time. You don’t have to get it done today. Otherwise, you could end up losing everything while someone else gets pleasure from it.”
Bryce was used to having people currying favor with him. Cate was considered the first person who had the nerve to provoke him this way.
His face twisted with fury.
He wished he could slap her to death there and then.
