“They’re not my real parents. Don’t say anything about this, ” Rosabella said. “You can choose whether you want to seize this opportunity or not. Only when you have powerful connections can you truly gain a firm foothold in the Jewell family.”
“I understand.” Cindy nodded. “Leave it to me.” Cindy quickly made a call to Michael Jewell.
When Michael heard that Cindy knew such a bigshot, his heart thumped with excitement as he immediately called the hospitals to have them take in Titus’ bodyguards.
When the Costner family found out, Sheryl was full of praise for Rosabella. “You’re so capable.”
“Don’t say that, Mom. This all started because of me. Michael said that he wants to have a meal with you and Uncle Titus, ” Rosabella said, “As you can see, Chester and Shaun are good friends, but as long as we win over Chester’s father, the Jewell family can no longer help Shaun.”
“Yes, sure. It’s just a meal.” Sheryl readily agreed.
Titus and Matthew had been sitting silently on the side without saying a word. Matthew was very uncomfortable seeing Sheryl praise Rosabella incessantly.
It was clearly because of Rosabella’s recklessness that caused their men to be injured, but Sheryl only praised her for being capable. What was happening?
Matthew got up and left.
Sheryl stopped him coldly and warned, “If you contact Cate again, you don’t have to call me ¡® Mom’ in the future.”
“Hah. I do call you my mother, but do you still remember that you have a son? I thought you only had one daughter.”
Matthew pulled a long face and walked away.
Sheryl glared at Titus angrily. “Look at how you’ve disciplined your son!”
Titus’ temples throbbed. He did not understand how the once smart, wise, calm, and generous Sheryl Cox turned into this.
“Yes, I don’t know how to discipline him. ” Titus got up and left.
Looking at the indifferent attitudes of the father and son, Sheryl was so angry she wanted to smash everything in front of her.
It was all Cate’s fault. It was Cate who caused them to grow further and further apart.
After Matthew left the Costner residence, he took out his phone and saw missed calls from Cate.
She had called him after leaving the cafe, but Sheryl was present then, so he did not dare to answer.
When he thought of Cate’s swollen face, he guiltily returned the call.
Cate’s mocking voice sounded from the other end. “Young Master Costner, what other information do you need to extract from me?”
“I… I’m sorry.” Matthew was very upset and mumbled an apology. “I deliberately said that to my mom. I was afraid that she would be angry. When I first met you, I didn’t know that you were Cate. You had also lied and said that your name was Hera Imm.”
“But didn’t you find out later? You came to Canberra to find me on purpose, and all those chance encounters at the shopping mall were planned by you.”
Cate was truly angry. “Your Costner family is so rich, but your father and you had to stoop to the level of spying to deceive me. I really don’t understand how I provoked your family.”
“You didn’t provoke the Costner family. You provoked Rosabella and my mom. ” Matthew added silently in his heart, ¡®Of course, you also harmed my grandmother.’
However, he knew Cate for a while now. In his bones, he felt that Cate was not… that bad.
“I provoked Rosabella? She has always been the one who provoked me. She even killed a good friend of mine. There’s deep hatred between us,” Cate said coldly, “But what does your mother have against me? I haven’t seen her for almost 20 years. It’s good enough that I’m not blaming her for it.”
“Rosabella is my mother’s daughter. If you mess with Rosabella, it’s the same as messing with my mom, ” Matthew said.
“What?” Cate was completely dumbfounded. She even thought that her ears were playing tricks on her. “Rosabella is your mother’s daughter?”
“Of course.” Matthew knew what she wanted to say and hurriedly said, “Don’t tell me that you’re actually her daughter and not Rosabella. I won’t believe you.”
Cate, “….”
If this fool Matthew were standing in front of her right now, she would have grabbed his head and smashed it against the wall to make him get things straight.
“She’s not Sheryl’s daughter. Rosabella is Jeffery Cox and Sally Lennon’s daughter! ” Cate yelled agitatedly, “You bunch of idiots have all been tricked by her! “
“You’re the idiot.” Matthew got a little angry. ” Cate, don’t think that everyone is as easy to fool as Joel Yule.”
Cate took a deep breath, worried that her brain would explode from anger. “Listen. I don’t know what Rosabella told you, but I really am Sheryl’s biological daughter. I’m your sister. If you don’t believe me, you can do a DNA test. You should be able to tell just by looking at our faces. I look more like Sheryl, okay?”
“It’s normal for a niece to look like her aunt sometimes.” Matthew scoffed. “And I won’t do a DNA test with you. Chester and Shaun are good friends. It’d be a simple task for you to get Chester to tamper with the test results.”
There was sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and Matthew said coldly, “What, have you lost confidence because your plan was exposed by me?”
“No, I was just rendered speechless by your imagination. ” Cate’s voice carried a sense of powerlessness. “How about this? If you’re afraid that I’ll tamper with the evidence, you can take my blood and hair and send the samples to Neah Bay for the DNA test. The people there are all on your side, so I won’t be able to mess with the results. “
“Speaking of Neah Bay… that’s even more unnecessary, ” Matthew said faintly, “I already did a DNA test for Rosabella and my mother in Neah Bay. She’s my mother’s biological daughter.”
“How can that be?” Cate was stunned.
“As you said yourself, the people in Neah Bay are all ours. It’s my territory, so not even Rosabella can tamper with the results.”
Matthew’s tone was full of disappointment. ” Cate, I admit that when I got along with you, my impression of you was quite good. To be honest, sometimes I also hoped that you’re my sister but you’re not. Moreover, you keep telling this lie to others. You’ve been telling lies for so long that even I believed you. I’m calling you today for only one reason, and that’s to explain to you that I didn’t know who you were when I first met you. No matter what my mom or Rosabella does to you in the future, I won’t intervene anymore.”
Cate thought about it. After forcing herself to calm down, she said, “Matthew, I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me, but I just want to remind you that Rosabella isn’t a simple person. Maybe she said a lot of bad things about me in front of you, but you should go to Melbourne to investigate carefully “Enough. I’ve already investigated both you and Rosabella in Melbourne. Everything she said is true, ” Matthew interrupted her.
“I don’t know how you did your investigation, but what you heard was probably hearsay from people unrelated to the Cox family. I suggest you go to the families of those with a little status in Melbourne to find out what kind of person Rosabella really is, especially the Campbell and Lowe families. The young masters of those two families dated Rosabella before. There’s no way I could buy off people who used to date Rosabella, right?”
Cate gave him a final reminder. “I’m not trying to incite disharmony. Rosabella is very cunning. She’s the best at pretending to be weak and kind. Think about it. If she’s really that incapable, how did she coax your mother into using so much money to buy Lyons Corporation for her?
Even the shares are under her name.”
Matthew had to admit that the last point hit a sore spot.
“You’re clearly trying to sow dissension.”
“Matthew, you should know best. How long has it been since Rosabella returned to Sheryl’s side? At most, it’s probably been two to three years. Let me ask you, has your mother ever given you hundreds of billions to spend?”
“I can’t be bothered to listen to you anymore.” Matthew did not want to chat any further.
“Investigate Rosabella properly. Don’t let your family be torn apart because of Rosabella. Jeffery and Sally aren’t easy people to deal with either. My grandmother was pushed down the stairs by Sally.
This was also the reason the couple went to jail. Even when they started a decoration company, they often cut corners and received bad reviews.”
Cate hung up the phone first.
Standing on the balcony, her clear and bright eyes seemed to be full of loss.
When Shaun came over, his large palm gently pressed on her shoulder. “I heard everything.”
“Shaunny… ” Cate buried her little face in his arms, suddenly feeling lost. “Matthew said that he did a DNA test for Rosabella and Sheryl, and Rosabella is Sheryl’s daughter. What about me? Whose daughter am I? Am I really Sheryl’s daughter?”
She was very sure about this before, but now, she suddenly doubted herself.
“Silly girl. You look so similar to Sheryl. Who’s daughter could you be if not hers?” Shaun lowered his eyes at the uneasy woman in his arms and said in a low gentle voice, “Did you forget that you did a DNA test with Joel?”
Cate paused as she remembered it. “But…? “
“You should’ve asked Matthew what Rosabella used for the DNA test with Sheryl. I’m guessing it must be hair.” Shaun’s eyes flashed.
“What’s wrong with hair?” There was a confused look on Cate’s face.
” If it’s hair, it’s easier for her to pass off a fake as genuine,” Shaun said in a complicated tone, ” Actually, I’ve been thinking about something ever since I learned that Titus’ wife is your mom.”
“What is it? Hurry up and tell me.” Cate urged him.
“The real reason why Wesley pursued you so desperately.” Shaun stared at her and curled his lips doubtfully. “At first, he might have pursued you because he really liked you and admired you, but what about afterward? You married me and even had children, but he refused to give up on you. Even when he knew that you were with me on his wedding night, he still wanted to continue the marriage. He made it seem as though he was some sort of saint.”
Cate blinked. ” Isn’t it because he didn’t get me? He wanted to get revenge on me after he obtained me or make me fall in love with him.”
“That’s what I thought at first too, but it’s possible that there’s another reason.”
Shaun paused as his gaze turned sharp. “He may have known long ago that your mother is Titus’ wife. Her status is extraordinary, so if he marries you and Sheryl and you acknowledge each other in the future, his status would also rise. Think about it. He’d be the son-in-law of the owner of Soromon Island. What would be his status in the world?”
