“It’s my fault. I should’ve told you earlier. I should’ve taken you to Neah Bay back then to meet that woman.”
Shaun said to Brennan with a bit of chagrin, “Did that woman remarry someone called Titus Costner and have a son called Matthew Costner?”
“Her husband is Titus, but I don’t know her son’s name,” Brennan said.
“Dad, do you know who’s been secretly dealing with the Lyons family all this while? It’s Titus and Sheryl. ” Shaun smiled bitterly. “I don’t know what kind of despicable method Rosabella used. It’s like she’s brainwashed Titus and Sheryl. They keep targeting Cate, who’sSheryl’s biological daughter.”
Brennan was shocked. It had just been his guess, but he did not expect that it would be true.
“Dad, you said before that Titus is a ruthless and shrewd person. Is it because he doesn’t like that Sheryl gave birth to a daughter before so he’s deliberately trying to get rid of Cate?” Shaun guessed.
“No, Titus is… I’ve only seen him once, but he’s not the kind of person who would target a young lady for that reason.”
Brennan thought about it. “Why don’t I talk to Titus? Maybe we can clear up the misunderstanding.”
“No,” Cate hurriedly said, “Uncle Brennan, you’re our last trump card. You can’ t reveal your relationship with Shaun. If it really comes down to it, we have to count on you to leave with the two children and keep them safe and sound.”
“It won’t be that serious, right? After all, she’s still your biological mother.” Lea was a little puzzled. ” Suzie and Lucas are her grandchildren too. Not even I was that vicious when Shaun and I were on bad terms.”
At most, she said some unpleasant things and tried to get Liam to snatch the position of chairman.
When Shaun had children, she was still quite happy about it.
However, Cate fell silent and did not reply.
Shaun sighed. “Cate’s mother slapped her.”
Brennan lit a cigarette. After a moment, he said, “In that case, I won’t go to Titus for the time being. Also … you originally planned to leave next week. Are you still going?”
Everyone looked at Cate.
Cate was silent for a while before shaking her head. “I want to stay and find out the truth.”
Shaun touched her long hair. A sharp light flashed in his dark eyes as he gradually had an idea. “Dad, what’s the real power of the Costner family like?”
Brennan hesitated for a moment before saying in a complicated way, “I remember I told you that Titus ¡® wife is the owner of Soromon Island. After Sheryl got stranded there, she developed the oil on the island. In terms of financial resources, Sheryl and Titus are on par. One of them is in control of the oil, and the other is in control of the shipping routes and banks. No matter which country they go to, their identities are enough for the president of each country to personally receive them.”
Cate was shocked. “My mom didn’t get her current position because she married Titus?”
“No, these two people are a strong alliance.” Brennan looked at her with a bit of pity. “You’re her biological daughter. If Sheryl publicly acknowledges that you’re her daughter and she gives you even one drop of her wealth, it’ll be enough to make you the richest young lady in the world.”
“Dad, stop sprinkling salt on Cate’s wound. She doesn’t care about money.” Shaun quickly interrupted. “Dad, I have an idea. We took out a significant number of Titus’ men today. I’m guessing that he’ll definitely send over more men from Neah Bay, but as long as those people can’t go through customs and enter the country, Titus and Sheryl will be helpless in Australia no matter how much money they have. When that happens, we can deal with them however we want to.”
Brennan was slightly surprised. “You’re very daring. If something happens to Titus and Sheryl in the country, Nathan will get into trouble. He won’t agree with what you’re doing. The Snow family can’t afford the Costner family’s revenge.”
“Dad, you said that the Costner family and Soromon Island are two places of enormous power. Where there’s money and power, there’ll be disputes. The Costner family is full of talents, so won’t there be people who are jealous of Titus? As long as we can find the right person in the Costner family to cooperate with, Titus’ death might even be a happy thing for the people of the Costner family.”
Shaun’s words were meaningful, and everyone understood.
Brennan looked at his son with eyes full of horror.
Cate was a little stunned. “Is there… a need to go that far?”
“This will be the last resort we use to protect ourselves. Don’t worry, even if that day comes, I won’t hurt your mom. At most… I’ll put her under house arrest.” Shaun gently reassured her. “For now, we still have to meet Titus and your mom to talk and find out what the misunderstanding is. It’s best if we can clear the misunderstanding. But if we can’t, then we won’t be left with a choice.”
Cate nodded. She would definitely figure out the truth as soon as possible.
Shaun turned to look at Brennan. “Dad, please go to Neah Bay and find out who’s the most ambitious member in the Costner family as well as who’s the most jealous of Titus. You have to go to Soromon Island too. Sheryl only appeared afterward, so there must be people on the island who don’t accept her.”
“Okay, I’ll fly there tomorrow. ” Brennan nodded ruefully.
At the same time.
In the Costner family’s villa.
Titus looked at the two bodyguards who were kneeling in front of him. His face was as dark as ink.
“So of the 30 people I brought over from Neah Bay, only the two of you are still fine?”
The two bodyguards trembled.
Rosabella also panicked a little in her heart. However, when she thought that Sheryl was on her side, her eyes reddened in grievance as she stood up. “It was Cate. She brought everyone from Liona and even borrowed people from Chester. Liona and Chester’s men surrounded our people in the laboratory and deliberately crippled them.”
“Outrageous! ” Sheryl slammed the table in anger and stood up. “If I knew this would happen, I would’ve crippled her on the spot.”
“Mom, Uncle Titus, I’m sorry. I’m so useless.”
Rosabella began to cry. “I just wanted to take over the laboratory earlier, but Shaun had the place completely surrounded. I wanted to bring more people in, I didn’t expect them to be so cruel.”
“Alright, don’t cry. I underestimated that b*tch Cate’s savageness. I’ll immediately get more people to come over from Neah Bay. I’ll make them pay for this.” Sheryl gnashed her teeth.
Titus rubbed his eyebrows. He really regretted coming to Australia now. “If I were Shaun, I wouldn’t allow our people to come into Australia. They won’t be able to pass through the customs.”
Rosabella was stunned, while Sheryl frowned. “What do you mean? Will Shaun dare to stop our people from entering Australia?”
“Sherry, the Lyons family is an influential family here and they’re on the same boat as the Snow family. Although 70% Of Lyons Corporation has been acquired, his connections aren’t ordinary.” Titus’s expression was dark. “I advise you two to lay low for now. Our forces have been taken down now.
We’re trapped.”
Sheryl sneered. “Titus, are you deliberately trying to scare me to help Cate?”
Titus looked at the intense look on Sheryl’s face and his heart flashed with a deep sense of unfamiliarity. “Sherry, when did you become so irrational? You’re not like how you were in the past at all.”
” I didn’t change. You’re the one who’s changed, ” Sheryl retorted sharply.
“Mom, Uncle Titus, don’t fight.” Rosabella hurriedly advised. “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t because of me, you wouldn’t have come to Australia.”
“It’s not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it’s Cate, ” Sheryl said with disgust.
“President Costner, bad news.” At that moment, Titus’ assistant hurriedly rushed in from outside. ” The hospitals in Canberra won’t accept our injured bodyguards.”
Rosabella was stunned, while Sheryl looked even more incredulous. “They’re not accepting our men? Do they want to close down?”
The assistant smiled bitterly. “There’s a force behind all the hospitals in Canberra, and that’s the Jewell family. Chester Jewell and Shaun Lyons are good friends.”
Titus asked with a grave expression, “What if we send them to a hospital somewhere else?
” If the treatment of their injuries is delayed, there might be serious consequences, such as… losing the mobility in their legs, ” the assistant said in a low voice.
Losing the mobility in their legs?
Titus was so angry that he wanted to kill Rosabella. Those people were all his trusted aides.
Rosabella saw Titus’ furious expression.
She quickly thought of something and hurriedly said, “Chester’s fiancee is my good friend.”
“Rosabella, I didn’t expect your friends to be so powerful. You should call and talk to her. ” Sheryl looked at her encouragingly.
Rosabella quickly nodded and called Cindy.
“Rosabella, what’s up?” Cindy was in a very bad situation recently. Many of her events and advertisements had been canceled.
“Cate, my uncle’s men were injured by Shaun and Chester told the hospitals in Canberra not to take them in for treatment. Can you help me out?” Rosabella smiled. “Of course, I’ll owe you for this. If there are any good Hollywood movies after this, I can give you a referral.”
Cindy was moved, but she could only say with a wry smile, “You think too highly of me. Chester and Shaun are good friends. There’s no way he’ll listen to me…”
Moreover, Chester said that he was going to break off the engagement with her, so she was incredibly anxious.
“You can go to Chester’s parents. Cindy, haven’ t you always been curious who’s the people behind me?” Rosabella said in a low voice. “The people behind me are the Costner family. They have control of the world’s main shipping routes and own the largest bank in the world. My real mother is also the owner of Soromon Island, where many of the world’s gems come from. Do you really want to miss this opportunity to meet them?”
Cindy’s heart thumped rapidly. “You… Isn’t your mother from Melbourne…”
