Titus frowned, and his lips twitched. In the end, he did not utter a word.
He just stared at Sheryl and Rosabella silently. His distant eyes rested on Rosabella’s face for one to two seconds.
In the past, he was not unconcerned about Rosabella’s scheming mind. He just considered her as Sheryl’s daughter at that time, so he let her be for the sake of his marriage with Sheryl.
Everyone had a scheming mind.
However, Rosabella would be a bit too presumptuous if she tried to tear him and Sheryl apart right in front of him.
If Titus were a fool, he would not have attained his current status.
On the surface, Rosabella seemed like she was advising him and Sheryl. However, she was actually dropping a hint to them that it was Cate’s doing.
If he had not had a deep conversation with Cate just now, he might have let Rosabella lead him by the nose.
In fact, he would not be so worried if Matthew was with Cate.
Nevertheless, if what Cate said turned out to be true, then that would be troublesome.
After lighting a cigarette, Titus immediately asked his subordinates to investigate the issue in Melbourne.
At noon, his subordinates brought him some news. “Mr. Costner, we saw Willard’s dead body in Melbourne Police Station, but Young Master Costner is still nowhere to be found.”
Willard was Matthew’s personal assistant.
Titus’s breathing hitched, and Sheryl had already leaped to her feet in agitation. “What else have you found out?”
“The police noticed signs of fighting at the scene. I assume Young Master Costner and Willard were attacked. Since Young Master Costner is quite skillful, he must’ve been mobbed by a group of people.”
“Young Master Costner is very skillful, and Willard’s skills aren’t bad either. However, one of them is missing, while the other is dead. In that case, they must’ve encountered a powerful master.” Rosabella’s eyes reddened as she covered her lips. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t brought a group of bodyguards to Lyons Corporation, they wouldn’t have been beaten so badly by the Liona members. In that case, Matthew wouldn’t have had to bring only an assistant along.”
Slightly moved by her words, Sheryl roared, “This must be Cate’s plot. She injured all our bodyguards so that she could deal with Matthew alone.”
After glancing at Sheryl’s agitated look, Titus could not help but say, “You might be right. I’ll immediately send some people from Neah Bay over. I’ll visit the executive council now to pressure Nathan.”
“What’s the point of pressuring him? By the time our people are here, it’ll be too late. I suggest we ask Nathan to arrest Cate straight away.” Sheryl was unhappy with Titus’s decision.
Titus opened his mouth for a while before he replied, “Alright. I’ll see if Nathan is willing to do that. It’s all my fault. You should just wait at home and don’t go anywhere for the sake of your safety. “
“Uncle Titus, are you worried that Cate will harm Mom?” Rosabella asked worriedly.
“How dare she.” Sheryl scoffed. “If she dares attack me, I won’t let her out no matter how many people she comes with.”
Titus directly strode out with his long legs without saying anything.
After getting in the sedan, the passenger seat’s door opened. Titus’s assistant, Samuel Light, got in. ” President Costner, are we going to the prime minister’s office now?”
Titus glanced at Samuel. “How long will it take for our bodyguards to recover?”
Samuel was taken aback. “They’ve hurt their muscles and bones, so it’ll take two to three months at the very least.”
“Two to three months?” Titus’s head began to hurt. “I didn’t think I’d be fooled to this extent. “
“President Costner, I think Young Master Costner should be safe. Maybe Cate and the others just want to threaten you,” Samuel consoled him.
“You also think Cate is the one who did it?” Titus faked a smile and asked.
“Is… Is it not her?” Samuel was shocked.
“Of course not. However, you can’t mention this in front of Sheryl.”
Titus lit a cigarette. If he previously had 4o percent of trust in Cate, he now had as much as 8o percent of trust in her.
He did not believe that Sheryl would give birth to such a hateful daughter like Rosabella.
“Don’t we still have two bodyguards? Ask them to monitor Sheryl closely. If she wants to do something, inform me immediately. But remember, don’t rouse Sheryl and Rosabella’s suspicions, ” Titus ordered.
Samuel was startled. “Monitor… Monitor the madam?”
“Mm.”
In the villa.
After Titus left, Sheryl stood up, and she suddenly felt dizzy.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Rosabella quickly supported her.
“Perhaps it’s because I was worrying about Matthew last night and didn’t sleep well,” Sheryl said in annoyance.
” I understand. You love Matthew a lot.” Rosabella sighed. ” I’m very worried about him too. But… But I’m afraid Prime Minister Snow won’t target Cate. Prime Minister Snow’s nephew and Shaun are good brothers. It was with Shaun’s help that Prime Minister Snow managed to assume the position earlier than expected too.”
“You’re right.” Sheryl’s pretty face darkened.
“I’m afraid if we delay this longer, Matthew will be in grave danger.” Rosabella gritted her teeth. “Since they dared to kidnap your son and kill your men, let’s just…”
“Just what?” Sheryl asked hastily.
“I know… Cate has a pair of fraternal twins,” Rosabella whispered.
Sheryl was stunned. “You’re asking me to kidnap those two kids…”
“We can just kidnap them and not hurt them. We’ll threaten Cate and ask her to hand Matthew over. Of course, if she doesn’t hand him over, we can’t hurt the children too. The children are innocent. However, Cate surely cares about her children. Perhaps she’ll…” Rosabella said hesitantly.
Sheryl quickly understood, but she had never done that kind of thing before.
“Mom, I’m also worried that Matthew… will die if we keep delaying this.” Rosabella bit her lips and said, “Think about it. Willard is dead. When Matthew fought them, he must’ve gotten hurt too. What matters is whether he has been gravely injured or not…”
At that moment, Sheryl’s ongoing headache hurt even more intensely from Rosabella’s words. It was as if someone was squeezing her heart. She blurted, ” Okay, let’s do as you said. But we don’t have any more people in our hands…”
“As long as there’s money, is there anything we can’t do? Mom, don’t worry. I’ll make sure they don’t hurt the children.” Rosabella guaranteed it again.
At the hospital.
Cate was also thinking about the matter regarding Matthew. She was slightly worried.
Feeling uneasy, she gave Chase a call. Only then did she find out that Matthew had gone missing in Melbourne and that his assistant was dead too.
“Rin, how is this Matthew related to you?” Chase was very curious.
“He’s my brother from a different father.” Cate sighed. ” I suspect it’s Wesley’s doing. How is the Sanderson family’s influence in Melbourne?”
“You’re talking about the Sanderson family?” Chase tutted. He was slightly pissed off. “Originally, we, the Harrison family, were considered the big boss in Melbourne. However, who could have thought that Golden Corporation would be on a roll? Now, more than go percent of the people in power here are supporting Wesley, and he even wants to win over the Harrison family. Even so, I’m not interested in that dude. The Sanderson family has been obstructing us a lot anyway. If it weren’t for…”
“If it weren’t for?” Cate asked in a hurry.
Chase said dejectedly, “If it weren’t for our collaboration with Forrest, the Harrison family might’ve not been able to stay in Melbourne. Some time ago, I was even thinking of going to Canberra to develop my career. However, I gave up on that idea when I saw Shaun’s situation. I didn’t want to give you guys more trouble.”
“Why didn’t you tell us about this?” Cate was annoyed that she did not notice Wesley’s power expansion in Melbourne. If not, she would have reminded Matthew to be stealthy.
Matthew must not have expected it too. He went to Melbourne for investigation overtly, only for the news to reach Wesley’s ears.
“You and Shaun have been facing a lot of troubles, so I didn’t want to disturb you guys.” Chase said in annoyance, “That b*stard, Wesley, is like a cockroach that won’t die. He’s so annoying. You guys have to be careful.”
Cate smiled bitterly. She did not tell Chase that Shaun had become a fool.
At that moment, a nurse called from behind. ” Shaun’s family, please come over quicHy…”
“I’ll talk to you again next time.” Cate rushed back to the ward, where she saw Shaun crying out loud. “I don’t want to get an injection. I don’t want an injection…”
The nurse watched as a handsome guy cried with tears and snot rolling down his face. She looked weirded out. “Miss Cox, you have to persuade him. If he doesn’t get on the IV, his injuries will become inflamed.”
“Okay, I’ll persuade him now.”
