Only after a moment of silence from the other end of the phone did Shaun respond indifferently. “I “Huh?” Aunty Yasmine froze as she did not expect Shaun to be so apathetic.
Before she could say anything else, Shaun had hung up the call.
She was dazed.
Could it be that Young Master Lyons had no feelings for Miss Cox anymore?
When Cate arrived at the gate of the Yule family’s villa with her suitcase, she happened to hear a smash from inside.
“How dare Shaun do this? He was the one who pursued my daughter shamelessly in the beginning, yet he decided to dump her now just because he has lost his memory. What does he take my daughter for?”
Joel lost his temper in the villa. “As I said earlier, Cate shouldn’t have gotten back together with Shaun. I’d rather she stayed single forever than be hurt by him time and time again.”
The housekeeper sighed. “Miss Cox is just a little unlucky when it comes to relationships.”
With a lump in her throat, Cate knocked on the door.
When Joel caught sight of Cate, his face stiffened for a moment before he walked up to her with a smile. “Cate, you’re back. Why didn’t you let me know? Wow. You even carried your suitcase back. That’s great. I feel bored staying here alone anyway.”
He did not mention the matter between Shaun and Hannah at all, and it filled Cate with warmth.
She knew Joel was worried that she would be embarrassed and upset.
“Dad, I heard everything you just said. In fact, I’ve made it clear to Shaun a few days ago, telling him that he can try to be with another woman. He has forgotten me and might not be able to remember the past, so I shouldn’t force him to stay by my side for the sake of the kids.”
Pretending to appear nonchalant, she said, “What’s more… I don’t like the current Shaun.”
“Cate, you…” Joel sighed. “You’re still speaking up for him even at this point in time. I know you too well. Forget it, and drop the subject. It’s great that you’re back. If you continue staying in the Lyonss’ house, other people will gossip about you. After all, there are still other men in the world.”
“Thanks for being understanding, Dad.” Cate grinned and hooked her arm through his.
Joel patted her on the back of her hand. “I noticed that you’ve been quite idle recently. Why don’t you come to my company and assist me? You’ll come to my inheritance ultimately anyway, and I’m already old. You need to help me out.”
Cate frowned. “Dad, I can’t go to your office to help you at this time. Now that Rosabella is dead, Sheryl hates me to the core and will definitely do something to me. If I join your company, she’ll cause trouble for you, especially since you’re currently expanding your logistics business internationally. She’s so powerful overseas that she can easily destroy your international business. Let’s forget it.”
“How did your mom end up in this state?”
A look of disappointment and distress washed over Joel’s face. “She can’t recognize her own daughter, and what’s worse, she’s assisting her enemy to act against you. Sigh. I shall meet her and have a talk with her.”
“Hah. She has been brainwashed by Jeffery and Sally. ” Cate scoffed. “For your information, she has transferred over 5o percent of the shares to Jeffery and the woman who killed her mother.”
The mention of this issue made Cate’s blood boil.
Jeffery and Sally had hurt Cate and her grandmother so badly, yet Sheryl helped those people over and over again. At this point, Cate really hated Sheryl to the core.
Upon noticing the hatred in the depths of her eyes, Joel’s heart clenched.
That was exactly why he was insistent on meeting Sheryl.
The next day.
Lyons Corporation.
Sheryl was in the company for inspection. Although it was called an inspection, she did not actually examine everything closely as her headache had worsened over the past few days.
Sally expressed her concern about Sheryl. “Sherry, are you feeling unwell again? How wicked of Titus to torture you like this. I think you should return to the island and get treated as soon as possible. You can come again once you’ve fully recovered. Your brother and Manager Middleton will look after the company.”
“I won’t leave until Matthew has been found and I take revenge on Rosabella’s behalf.”
Walking in a pair of high heels, Sheryl quickened her pace back to her office to rest. As soon as she started feeling better with her eyes closed, Jeffery walked in with an elegantly suited man. However, the man’s face was slightly scarred and pale. It appeared that he had just recovered from a serious illness.
“Hi, Chairwoman Cox. Your reputation precedes you,” Wesley greeted her courteously. “I’m Wesley Sanderson from Golden Corporation.”
Sheryl rubbed her temples. The name rang a bell, but she could not recall it.
“He’s technically Cate’s husband, but Cate tortured him very badly. ” Jeffery gave a detailed introduction to Wesley. “Just like us, President Sanderson came from Melbourne. He has been looking after us before this. He couldn’t endure Cate’s behavior earlier, so he decided to join Lyons Corporation with me to assist me in obtaining Rosabella’s shares. But he ended up being beaten so horrifically by Titus that he was admitted to the hospital for one week.”
Sheryl nodded. “I think you’ve mentioned it before.”
Jeffery sighed. “On top of that, Titus messed up all of Wesley’s overseas businesses as well, which has ruined Golden Corporation’s reputation. Now, none of the countries want to work with him. Sally, please help him…”
Sheryl fixed her eyes on Wesley thoughtfully. It seemed like Matthew had told her some things about Wesley, but she could not recall what exactly those were. If she was not mistaken, those things were nasty…
“Chairwoman Cox, forget it if you feel torn.” Wesley tugged on Jeffery and shook his head before saying to Sheryl, ” Sorry for bothering you today, Chairwoman Cox. I’ll take my leave.”
Once Wesley finished speaking, he turned around and left desolately.
Anxious, Jeffery walked up to Sheryl. ” Sherry, he’s very pitiful. While Cate was in a relationship with him previously, she also flirted with Shaun. Wesley spent several years waiting for Cate, and when he finally married her, Cate slept with Shaun on their wedding day. Everyone knows about this. Later, Cate destroyed Wesley’s reputation in order to divorce him. Considering that his company has eventually progressed a little…
Please help him. He’s an honest man. If Titus hadn’t oppressed him and forced him to divorce Cate, his company wouldn’t have ended in this state.”
Upon hearing it, Sheryl scoffed. “Titus is hoping for Cate to divorce this man so that he can marry her, huh? Since Titus wants to destroy him, I’m going to work against the former by helping the latter. I believe Titus won’t dare to bring a married woman into the Costner family.”
“Sally, does it mean that you’ve agreed to help him?” Jeffery looked surprised. “But Titus is wealthy and powerful. Will you be able to defeat him?”
“Jeffery, you’re belittling me.” Sheryl was provoked by his words. “My connections are comparable to his.”
After that, she said to her assistant, “Go and investigate Golden Corporation’s condition. Then, inform other countries that if they refuse to work with Golden Corporation, it means that they’re against Soromon Island.”
“…Alright.” Her assistant nodded with mixed feelings.
Jeffery’s heart was full of joy. After walking out, he headed downstairs to meet Wesley secretly. “Sheryl has agreed to help you.”
“Thanks, Uncle Jeffery. ” Wesley was in raptures, but he hid it very well. “Let’s work together, and we’ll both occupy the Australian business industry in the future.”
“Haha. Wesley, you’re welcome.” At the thought of Wesley’s scheme, Jeffery shuddered deep down. ” Anyway, I know nothing. I’m counting on you to manage Lyons Corporation in the future. As for me, I’ll just get some bonuses and boss people around.”
“No problem at all. With my presence, you can do whatever you want in Australia, Uncle Jeffery.
After Wesley said pensively, he began to laugh smugly with Jeffery.
After all, he had waited for this day to come for a very long time now.
Upstairs.
Just as Sheryl was about to leave, her secretary came in and said, “Chairwoman Cox, the chairman of Joule Corporation, Joel Yule, would like to meet you.”
“Joel Yule?” After some careful thought, it struck Sheryl that he was the man who abandoned her over 20 years ago.
She had never thought of looking for him, but he came looking for her. “Let him in.”
Five minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit walked in. He looked like he was in his 40s, but he kept in good shape. Although he was not as tall and sturdy as Titus and had a rather thin physique, he had a high nose bridge and prominent features. He still looked elegant despite the creases below his mature eyes.
A hint of hatred subconsciously flashed across Sheryl’s face.
This foolish man, who failed to recognize his biological daughter, even treated Cate as his daughter.
Unlike Sheryl, Joel was emotional and in a daze when he saw her.
He recalled her looking pretty when he saw her not long ago. However, it had only been less than a month, and she appeared a lot paler and thinner than before.
“Sherry—“
“Shut up. You have no right to address me this way, ” Sheryl interrupted him with a dominating presence.
“I’m sorry.”
Despondent, Joel promptly dropped his head and apologized. “M-Madam Costner…”
“You’re not allowed to call me that either. ” Sheryl grabbed a cup and hurled it at the floor in front of him.
The word ¡®Costner’ agonized her.
