The next day, when Cate woke up, Shaun had already changed his clothes and walked out of the dressing room.
He was wearing a sapphire blue suit, which made him look handsome and very sophisticated.
Cate’s heart could not help but throb in pain. ” Don’t go to the company today.”
Rosabella was already so arrogant after just acquiring 5o percent of the shares. If she had obtained Valerie and Spencer’s shares yesterday, she would be more arrogant today.
If Shaun went, he would surely be humiliated by Rosabella.
“Cate, I have to go. I’ve nurtured every single employee in Lyons Corporation myself. I can’t let someone else trample all over them.”
Shaun caressed her hair with a determined gaze.” Pack your stuff and leave tomorrow. I’ve already informed my dad. You’ll leave in his private airplane. Currently, everyone still doesn’t know that I’m the son of Garson Corporation’s director.”
Cate unconsciously tightened her grip on the bedsheets. Shaun kissed her forehead before he left.
In the empty bedroom, Cate gritted her teeth. Finally, she took her phone and dialed a number. ” Matthew, I want to meet your father. Tell him that he still owes me a favor.”
Matthew was astonished. Actually, he knew everything Rosabella had done, but he really could not meddle in those affairs. He also hoped that he could help Cate, so he immediately agreed after listening to her request. “Okay, I’ll contact my dad.”
At that time, Matthew had just woken up.
He immediately went downstairs to the study to look for Titus. “Dad, Cate called me just now. She said you still owe her a favor. She wants to meet you.”
Titus understood. He did promise her that he could save a life.
He just did not expect her to look for him so quickly.
Matthew studied Titus’s unpredictable expressions and could not help but complain softly, “Dad, you should know by now, right? Mom has used a huge sum of money to hire Julian Grayson’s team for Rosabella. She even spent a few hundred billion dollars to acquire Lyons Corporation. She must’ve gone crazy.”
Titus rubbed his forehead. He just got to know about it not long ago too. After all, Sheryl’s actions were so quick that even he did not expect it.
Matthew got angrier as he thought about it. “How can Mom do such an irrational thing? Is there a need to go that far just to humiliate Shaun? Yes, she is rich, and the Costner family is rich too. However, money shouldn’t be simply spent. Moreover… She even placed all of Lyons Corporation’s shares under Rosabella’s name. I don’t really care about that little bit of asset, but Mom has just reunited with Rosabella for a short time.”
Titus glanced at his son with mixed feelings.
Matthew rarely complained to him about those matters, so it was obvious that he was really pissed off.
Titus stood up and patted Matthew’s shoulder. “It’s not convenient for me to speak up. Your mom has had a lot of complaints about me lately, but you can advise your mom.”
Matthew nodded. “Are you going to meet Cate?”
“I will since I promised her back then. Also, I’m curious as to what she’ll do in the face of your and Rosabella’s oppression.”
After Matthew came out of the study, he returned to his room with his phone in hand. He gave Cate a call. “Sis Cate, my dad has agreed. He says he can meet you in the afternoon.”
Unbeknownst to him, Rosabella, who was in the room next to his, had just come out after he went in. When she saw him entering his room with his phone, she walked over and lightly placed her ear on the door. She could hear what Matthew said.
Rosabella’s heart skipped a beat.
Matthew knew Cate and even called her ” Sis Cate”.
How could that be?
Did Cate want to meet Titus to ask him for help?
No, Rosabella could not let Cate have her way.
Moreover, since the Costner family’s father and son had somehow gotten to know Cate, it seemed like Rosabella could only stir up trouble in the Costner family. Most of Lyons Corporation’s shares were already under her name anyway.
In the afternoon, Sheryl was taking a nap. Just as she was fast asleep, there was a knock on the door.
“Mom, are you sleeping?” Rosabella pretended to be shocked and said, “I just saw Uncle Titus going out. I thought you had gone out with him.”
Sheryl did not have a good rest as of recent nights. Furthermore, she was just woken up from her sleep, so her whole head felt groggy. After listening to Rosabella’s words, she became annoyed.
She remembered that before they came to Australia, Titus would tell her in detail no matter where he was going. Even if they got into a fight, he would coax her immediately. They had never slept on different beds for more than three days.
However, Titus did not come to coax her this time, and he did not even inform her when he went out.
This made Sheryl very upset.
Rosabella grabbed the opportunity and said, “Mom, did you get into a fight with Uncle Titus recently? He has been sleeping in the study. I don’t think it’s good for a married couple to sleep on separate beds for too long. It makes it easier for feelings to change. Many books that I’ve read said the same thing. You should take note of this.”
“Enough, you don’t have to worry about Titus and me.” Sheryl asked half-heartedly, “You went to Lyons Corporation this morning. How was it?”
“I wanted to go to Lyons Corporation’s laboratory and factory to have a look, but Shaun had Liona’s members stop me. They didn’t allow me to enter. It’s so infuriating.” Rosabella was upset. “I didn’t dare go against them by force. My face already hurts a lot from Cate slapping me yesterday.”
Sheryl looked at Rosabella’s face, which was covered in a thick layer of foundation, and was immediately overwhelmed by anger. Her daughter had been bullied by people time and time again. “Take more people with you. If you meet Cate, return her the slap.”
“Mom, thank you. No one has ever treated me as well as you do.” Rosabella acted as if she was touched. “But I heard people saying that Cate didn’t go to the company this afternoon. Shaun looked fearless as well. Maybe he has a trick up his sleeve.”
“I’m here. What are you worried about? Just do what you want.”
Sheryl patted the back of Rosabella’s hand to console her.
“Thank you, Mom.” After Rosabella left, Sheryl’s pretty face darkened.
Cate did not go to the company, Titus just so happened to have gone out, and Shaun had a bold look on him.
Had Titus gone out to meet Cate?
When that suspicion arose, Sheryl could not control it anymore.
She immediately dialed the number of her bodyguard. “Find out where Titus went.”
At a cafe in a five-star hotel.
Cate sat on the seat beside the French windows. After waiting for more than ten minutes, she saw Titus and Matthew arriving together. Both of them were more than two meters tall. Moreover, with those well-defined, handsome features, they looked more like brothers rather than father and son.
Titus had really maintained himself well. He only looked like he was 37 or 38 years of age. Even the top male models overseas might not be able to compare to his mature figure and presence.
“Mr. Costner, Matthew. ” Cate immediately stood up and greeted them politely.
“Cate, why did you call my dad over?” Matthew greeted her familiarly.
“Have a seat first. I don’t know what you guys like to drink, so I didn’t dare to order.” Cate opened the menu.
“I’ll just have a cup of coffee.” Titus sat down and crossed his long legs.
“My dad doesn’t like sugar in his, but I’ll have more sugar in mine.” Matthew waved his hand. “You two can talk first. I’m going to the bathroom. I had too many watermelons at home.”
After ordering three cups of coffee, Cate did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point. She said, “You promised me last time that you would save a life for me.”
“Is it your life?” Titus’s gaze fell on Cate’s stunning face. However, the bright face he saw the last time was now shrouded in a layer of gloominess. She seemed to have a lot of worries on her mind.
“No.” Cate shook her head. “Shaun’s life.”
Titus raised his eyebrows in astonishment. “Do you know how precious this favor of mine is? You better not regret using it on other people.”
FranHy speaking, Shaun was not her husband at all. He was even a man who had hurt and betrayed her before.
“There’s nothing to regret.” Cate smiled bitterly and said, “Recently, a lunatic has spent a huge sum of money to acquire a big portion of Lyons Corporation’s shares. In fact, I know that there’s still a powerful force trying to target us, but Shaun wants to stay behind. He can’t bear to see the company that he has painstakingly managed destroyed by someone else. Secondly, he wants to prepare a path for the children and me to escape. He doesn’t care about his own safety. However, to me, he’s the person I love. He’s also the father to my children. I hope you can save his life when I leave.”
Titus’s expression was dark.
The lunatic that Cate spoke of was his wife.
The way she addressed Sheryl made Titus very unhappy. However, he had to admit that what Sheryl had done was indeed too unreasonable.
However, Cate might not have guessed that he was the force behind the scenes that she was talking about.
That must be why she told him her plans.
