“Are you sure you can leave safely?” Titus could not help but raise his eyebrows.
Cate pursed her lips together. She could not tell him that she would be boarding Brennan’s private airplane to leave, right?
“I’ll just go with the flow. If I can leave, I’ll leave. If I can’t, worse comes to worst, they can take my life away. I just hope that person still has some last bit o f humanity left to spare the innocent children.” Cate laughed bitterly. “But that person probably doesn’t have any humanity to speak of at all. Mr. Costner, if…”
After giving it some thought, Cate shook her head uneasily. “If I can’t leave safely in the end, please change the plan and save my two kids, Mr. Costner. I know that’s two lives, but they’re still young. They’re only three years old.”
Titus felt slightly uncomfortable hearing that. ” There’s no need for that, right? The people who owe the debt should pay it themselves. They can’t involve the younger generation too.”
” Some people are evil by nature. They won’t care whether their children or not because they’re inhumane and don’t have any conscience.” Cate laughed mockingly.
Titus frowned.
Inhumane? No conscience?
Was Cate talking about Rebbeca, Sheryl, or herself?
She was the one who caused the death of her biological grandmother. She was the one who drove Rosabella into a corner, pretended to be Sheryl’s daughter, and acknowledged Joel as her father. She even hogged the company that used to be Sheryl’s.
However, for some reason, Titus would forget everything Cate had done whenever he looked at her face.
Rather, he did not quite believe that Cate was such an evil person.
“Titus, so you’re here.”
A cold voice laced with anger suddenly rang.
Titus’s heart leaped. He quickly turned his head back and stood up.
Sheryl walked in with her high heels, and there was a scowl on her fury-filled face.
She really did not expect Titus would look for Cate as soon as he went out.
They were even drinking coffee and having a serious chat in the cafe.
Uncontrollable jealousy welled up in Sheryl.
It was especially after she saw Cate. She had seen her before on the phone, but Cate was more beautiful, stunning, and younger in person than on the phone.
Moreover, Cate really looked like Sheryl’s young self.
This was the face that made Titus sneak out again and again to meet her. It was also this face that made Sheryl no longer look youthful in comparison and attracted Titus. It was why he no longer coaxed Sheryl anymore.
Sheryl walked over angrily.
Cate watched as she came nearer, and her eyes widened.
The woman in front of Cate had a face like a blooming red rose. She had seen it before in Joel’s photo. In the past, Sheryl was cheerful and youthful, just like a sunflower that was about to bloom.
Although more than 20 years had passed and Sheryl’s face was now mature, it also became more feminine and charming.
However, her nose and eyes remained the same. Cate would not be mistaken.
That person might be… Her….
Slap.
A resounding slap landed on Cate’s face, and she was pushed onto the sofa by the force of the slap. Her whole head was buzzing.
She was in disbelief and at a loss.
Cate had just thought that the woman might be the one whom Joel had seen. That woman most probably was her biological mother.
Yet before she could say a word, she was slapped by the person who might be her mother.
She would not be upset if she was slapped by someone else.
However, that person was probably her mother.
Cate’s mother may not have been by her side ever since she was young, but she admired Sheryl from the stories that other people had told her. She had once imagined the scene of her and her mother reuniting as well. Would her mother be happy or emotional?
She did not expect that she would be slapped once they met each other.
“How dare you seduce my husband. I don’t think you need this face anymore. ” Sheryl took the hot coffee from the table and was about to splash it on Cate’s face.
At that moment, Titus reacted quickly by grabbing onto Sheryl’s wrist. “Stop. I was just discussing some things with her. It’s not what you think it is.”
“Titus, do you remember what I told you a few days ago? Yet you’re still sneaking out to meet her.” Fury burned in Sheryl’s eyes. “Don’t you like young and pretty women? Since you like her so much, why don’t you be with her?”
Titus looked at Sheryl’s face, which was slightly twisted from anger. He felt a sense of confusion and unfamiliarity. In his memories, Sheryl would never act like that. ” Sherry, can you calm down? Nothing happened between Cate and me. Moreover, I didn’t come alone.”
“Of course you’re not alone. You even brought your bodyguard and assistant. Let go, Titus. If you really have nothing to do with her, let me teach her a proper lesson today.” Sheryl struggled against Titus while holding the cup of hot coffee.
As they were pushing, some coffee spilled out all of a sudden. Some of it fell on the back of Cate’s hand, which immediately turned red from the pain.
Titus felt bad seeing it, so he let go of Sheryl’s hand in a hurry.
Taking the chance, Sheryl splashed the coffee at Cate.
Luckily, Cate had quick reflexes. She managed to take the menu from the side in a hurry and blocked the coffee. However, some of it still splattered on her legs, and they burned in pain from being scalded.
Nevertheless, that pain could not compare to the pain she felt in her heart.
Cate found it hilarious. Was that person her mother?
No. It could not be. Her mother would not be like a lunatic or a madwoman.
“Cate, are you okay?” Titus was startled. He did not expect Sheryl would do that.
“Titus, you’re still concerned about her? Just die.” Hot-headed, Sheryl threw the cup at Titus.
The cafe was in a mess. When Matthew, who had just returned from the bathroom, saw that scene, he was stunned.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Matthew rushed over hurriedly and hugged Sheryl.
“Matthew, let go of me. You actually hooked up with this b*tch, Cate behind my back. You should know about my relationship with Cate. She’s a shameless woman.” Sheryl was so exasperated that she simply blurted some words.
Cate’s head buzzed upon hearing that.
That woman said she had a relationship with her? What relationship?
Could that woman have known from the start that she was her daughter?
Matthew was utterly astonished. His mom’s imagination was too much. “Mom, it’s not what you think it is. Cate is my friend. She came to look for me regarding some problems. I came over with Dad today.”
“Are you covering up for your dad?” Sheryl did not believe him at all. “Also, you’re surprisingly treating her as a friend. You, father and son, have been fooled by her. Matthew, you disappoint me.”
Matthew bit his lips in frustration. Why did his tongue slip just now? “Mom, I can swear it. There’s really nothing between Dad and her. Dad only has you in his heart.”
“You’re just helping your dad and this woman. It’s no wonder you failed to deal with Lyons Corporation the last time. It must’ve been because you two can’t bear to hurt her, right?” Sheryl had no trust in them at all.
“What is she talking about?” Cate looked toward Matthew in a daze. “What is that about dealing with Lyons Corporation?”
Seeing her eyes on him made Matthew feel strangely awkward and ashamed.
When Sheryl heard Cate’s words, she yanked Titus to her side and sneered. “Didn’t my son tell you? Lyons Corporation getting investigated was his and his father’s doing. I was the one who asked them to ruin Lyons Corporation.”
Cate’s face paled. She glanced at Matthew, stunned. Then, she glanced at Titus, whose expression was grim.
The force behind Rosabella that kept targeting her and Shaun was the Costner family?
Yet, she knew nothing about it. She foolishly treated Matthew as a brother and a friend. She was even counting on Titus to save Shaun’s life.
