Given that Mireya was pregnant, the Snow family did not ask her to serve the guests. Instead, they made Rodney accompany her. The two of them only arrived at the banquet hall at 7:30 p.m.
Shortly after, Shaun and Cate showed up.
Shaun was dressed in a three -piece dark gray suit with one hand in his pocket while the other rested on Cate’s shoulder. In contrast, Cate wore a floral dress with embroidered butterflies. The butterflies seemed so real as if they were about to flutter. The color of the dress might seem dull, but when it was matched with her curvy figure, she looked elegant and alluring.
As Cate and Shaun were walking, many people gazed at them in amazement.
Mireya could not help but glance at Shaun’s tall and sturdy figure. When she shifted her eyes to the flashy Rodney who was dressed in a green suit, she clicked her tongue feeling conflicted.
“Why did you ¡® tsk’?” Rodney felt humiliated. “Do I look worse than Shaun?”
“No, ” Mireya said and sighed from the bottom of her heart. “Clearly, Shaun is the handsome, arrogant president that one would find in a novel, whereas you just look like an effeminate man. You’re the so- called eye candy.”
Rodney was at a loss for words.
He lost his temper. He scowled at the handsome and cool Shaun who was walking toward him.
Shaun approached Rodney, only to find Rodney staring at him resentfully. “Did I offend you?”
Rodney sized him up and down with disgust. “Why are you always dressed in dull and plain clothing? Please. It’s boring.”
Shaun did not get mad. He fixed his eyes on Rodney impassively and teased, “I’ll be in trouble if you’re interested in me. After all, I’m not into men.”
Mireya giggled, and a smile flashed across Cate’s face as well. “Young Master Snow, you shouldn’t argue with him. He’s brutal.”
“How am I brutal? When I speak to you, I’m always very sweet, ” Shaun immediately turned to look at his wife affectionately.
Cate rolled her eyes at him. “Oh well, you spoke harshly to me a lot back then.”
“Enough. I didn’t ask you guys over to act all lovey- dovey. ” Then, Rodney gestured to them with his chin. “Chester is here.”
Everyone turned their eyes in that direction, yet Shaun and Cate looked at him strangely. With a tall and sturdy figure, he looked handsome in a maroon suit. Nevertheless, he was wearing a face mask. What was wrong with him?
“Well, Eliza bit Chester and injured his mouth,” Rodney grimaced like a busybody.
Shaun raised his brows, yet Cate frowned before she said, “It serves him right.”
“Aw. Don’t say that. Chester has decided not to marry Cindy, so technically, he’s not playing the field.” Rodney stood up for his buddy. Cate was astonished. Even so, she was pleased to hear the news. “Can Cindy accept it?”
Rodney scoffed and said, ” If Cindy can’t accept it, I guess Chester will make her kneel and accept it. “
Cate and Mireya exchanged glances.
Shaun placed his hand around Cate’s waist. “In terms of viciousness, I can’t compare with Chester.”
Rodney might appear somber, while Chester seemed like an elegant doctor in a white coat, but no one among the three of them could be as vicious as Chester.
When Chester caught sight of them from a distance, he waved his hand but did not walk toward them.
Rodney chuckled and said, “I bet Chester is too shy to come here. Damn… Isn’t that Wesley, that b* stard? Why did he come with Gavin?”
Gavin was the then Senator Mead. Now that he had risen to the rank of Minister Mead, a lot of people went to flatter him the minute he showed up.
Wesley, who was right beside Minister Mead, looked quite different than before. At this point, he looked like Minister Mead’s favorite person as Minister Mead kept introducing the guests to him.
No matter how terrible Wesley’s reputation was, everyone at the banquet was so shrewd that they did not bring up his past. Instead, they shook hands with Wesley and chatted happily with him.
Cate became glum at the sight of the scene. She had spent a lot of effort destroying Wesley’s reputation, only to see him regain his power in Canberra by taking advantage of Minister Mead.
Wesley seemed to have caught sight of her. He raised his brows and shifted his gaze to her.
A moment later, he whispered to the others before he walked up to Cate.
“Wifey, come over, ” Wesley said as he waved at Cate with a loving expression. “As my wife, how dare you stay with another guy and sleep at his place. Even if you don’t care about your dignity, I do. You have to follow me home later.”
Cate was extremely put out by his words. ” I remember that our divorce papers have been sent to your place. The lawyer in charge of our divorce should’ve received it as well. I sincerely hope that you’ll sign it as soon as possible.”
“You’re still my wife as long as I don’t sign the papers. ” Wesley adjusted his glasses. ” Normally, I’ll turn a blind eye to it. But on this important occasion, everyone’s with their wives and official girlfriends. Cate, you’d rather attend this banquet bearing the identity of Shaun’s lover, huh? Are you so shameless?”
A hint of hatred flashed across Cate’s eyes.
Shaun held her hands tightly with his grave, handsome face. “She’s the mother of my child and the woman I love the most. Well, you’re the one who made tonight’s banquet seem so cheap.”
After a pause, Shaun turned around and looked at Rodney. He then asked, “Rodney, why did the Snow family invite such an ill-mannered person here?”
“I have no idea either. Perhaps he came here with no shame by taking advantage of Minister Mead.”
Rodney was so cooperative that he even ran to Minister Mead on purpose and said so loudly that many people could hear, “Uncle Gavin, how could you bring Wesley here? You look down on the Snow’s banquet, huh? It’s not that I don’t respect him, but he cheats on women.
“After he got stabbed, he bluffed by saying that his kidney had been damaged for the sake of saving a woman when, in fact, he was all well. Not only that, he claimed that he loved his wife when he secretly made out with his female secretary. They even acted indecently in the office from time to time.
After he was exposed, he even physically abused Cate…”
After Minister Mead heard Rodney’s words, his face turned grim. After all, he was the one who brought Wesley in. Seeing those disdainful looks of people around him, he immediately said, “It could be a mis — “
However, Rodney did not give Minister Mead the chance to continue. With his voice raised, he said,” Uncle Gavin, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying this to blame you. I’m just worried that the naive young ladies would fall for Wesley’s appearance of a polite, business elite and end up being cheated on. Playing with their feelings and bodies is one thing, but the scariest thing is when he abuses or betrays them. That’ll be terrible.”
“Uh… Minister Mead, I see Director Snow is there. I’m going to greet him. ” A political dignitary pulled his daughter away immediately after giving the excuse.
Subsequently, other political dignitaries and wealthy figures made their excuses and left.
Although Wesley’s pharmaceutical group was doing well, it would be troublesome if their daughters fell for such an odious character.
Minister Mead was embarrassed and infuriated. ” Young Master Snow, how dare you make me look so bad.”
“Uncle Gavin, don’t say that. I did this only because I take you as my biological uncle.”
Indeed, Rodney was extremely shameless. He even cast a look at Hannah behind and waved at her. ” Hannah, it’s been a while since we met. You’ve grown much prettier, but you should stay away from Wesley, that beast. Don’t let him play with your body and feelings.”
“I’m not that stupid.” The words escaped Hannah’s mouth.
She wanted to tease Cate for being stupid. However, only after she finished speaking did it occur to her that the Mead family was the one who brought Wesley here.
“Yeah. You’re not that stupid, and I’m relieved to hear that.” Rodney cackled.
Minister Mead, who had been acting complacent of late, instantly became so exasperated that his face flushed. He glared at Rodney before he turned around and walked away.
Wesley’s temples twitched. He had originally planned to get acquainted with some noblemen using Minister Mead’s identity. Nevertheless, Rodney had destroyed his plan.
Clenching his fists, Wesley suddenly walked up to Rodney. Then, he said with a mirthless smile, ” Young Master Snow, as the eldest young master of the Snow family, I honestly think that you’ve dragged the Snows’ name down with your behavior. Do you know what this behavior of yours is? You’re like Shaun’s dog that does whatever he instructs.”
“You’re trying to provoke me and destroy my relationship with Shaun, huh? Haha. Dream on. ” Rodney chuckled. “But come to think of it, judging from the way you came in with Minister Mead just now, you look exactly like a dog. Only the bark was missing.”
Wesley’s facial expression contorted for a moment before he suddenly flashed a smile at Cate.
“Cate, you’re my wife, and this is the fact. ” With that, Wesley took out a marriage certificate from his pocket. “Want to be with Shaun legally? I don’t think that’s ever going to be possible. Well, let’s see how much longer Shaun can protect you. One day, I’ll make you go to bed with me.”
After he was done speaking, he tagged along with Minister Mead to the other side.
Shaun fixed his eyes on Wesley’s back. His grim gaze made him look as if he was going to tear Wesley into pieces.
He had to admit that the sight of the marriage certificate pierced his heart.
Back then, he did not know how to appreciate her. However, now that Cate shared the marriage certificate with someone else, it felt extremely infuriating.
“Damn. Is he crazy? Shaun, he’s obviously trying to provoke you by carrying the marriage certificate around with him, ” Rodney said sympathetically.
“To be honest, it’s just a marriage certificate. He can’t change my mind with it.” Cate held Shaun’s hands in a surprisingly cool manner.
Shaun caressed Cate’s head.
He also fought back his unpleasant feelings.
