“Mireya…” Cate held her with unease. “It doesn’t matter. He’s just trash. Look at yourself. Given that you’re rich and beautiful, you can easily find a man in the future. In fact, I think you can try being with a handsome young man. A few days ago, I stumbled upon a piece of news about a pretty president having constantly changing out boyfriends and they’re all handsome young men. She does whatever she wants in life, which makes people admire her.”
At this point, Cate did not bother saying that Rodney was just temporarily muddle -headed and would learn from his mistakes.
She found it inappropriate to offer her friend this sort of consolation.
There was no need to do so. If she were in Mireya’s shoes, she might have killed Rodney straight away.
He did not learn from his mistakes despite having been terribly deceived by Sarah in the past.
Indeed, he was incurable.
Upon hearing Cate’s words, Shaun twitched his mouth. “Cate, do you admire the rich lady who keeps getting different boyfriends?”
“Ahem.” Cate rolled her eyes at him. Obviously, she was trying to comfort Mireya, so he should know how to shut up. “Well, all women do. “
Shaun sensed her threatening gaze and shut his mouth glumly.
“Young Master Lyons, Young Master Jewell, do you think what Rodney just said is true?” Mireya suddenly asked.
Chester’s eyebrows twitched. After staying quiet for a moment, Shaun said, “I suppose so. Recently, I’ve always been dreaming about my past. I feel that I’ll recover my memory soon.”
The rest went silent. In fact, they believed in Sarah’s words too.
Since Sarah had the audacity to suggest having Shaun’s people keep an eye on her, it clearly meant that she did not plan on escaping. She was fully prepared.
“What a scheming woman. ” Cate frowned. ” She must’ve done something to Shaun’s brain earlier. I’m sure she was around when he fell down the stairs. I’m also very certain that she had an affair with Wesley.”
“Sarah… has come prepared, ” Chester said glumly, ” She probably conspired with Wesley back then, but she also made a backup plan for herself in case he failed. Now that Wesley has failed, Nathan, the prime minister, has the upper hand in everything. The Snow family has become the most influential family in Australia, and one of the members is the heir. The fact that Rodney is her ex-boyfriend is the primary reason why Sarah came back.”
Cate and Mireya were both astounded at the same time. Mireya stammered, “Do you mean that she plotted this long ago just in case Wesley failed.”
“If Wesley had succeeded, the first thing he would’ve done is get rid of Shaun and Cate. When Shaun fell down the stairs, he was like a fool, so Wesley did not doubt him. If Shaun had passed away, nothing would trouble Sarah anymore. She could depend on Wesley and act unscrupulously in Australia.”
Chester said indifferently, “But Wesley failed and Shaun is still alive. Hence, she came back to prove herself innocent of the crime in front of Rodney. She’ll claim that she was accused or that it was Wesley who forced her.”
At first, Cate and Mireya were confused about it. Upon hearing Chester’s analysis though, the two of them grasped the point.
Sure enough, only the most manipulative person could see through Sarah’s mind.
It was no wonder that Rodney would defend Sarah.
“But… it’s a fact that Sarah cuckolded Rodney. Didn’t you also catch sight of Sarah being intimate with another man in front of Rodney? ” Cate asked Chester curiously, “As a man, would you forgive her just like that?”
Chester smiled sarcastically. “If Sarah has made preparations in regards to Shaun’s illness, why couldn’t she do the same with her break up with Rodney? At that time, Rodney had left the Snow family. Indeed, he was worthless to her, so she wanted to get rid of him.
“But now that Nathan has become the president as well as the most important figure in Australia, Rodney’s status is elevated after returning to the Snow family. What’s more, the Snow family kicked Rodney out of the house previously not because they planned to give up on him. Rather, they just wanted to teach him a lesson.”
Shaun nodded and opened his mouth slowly. ” Similar to my analysis back then, Sarah could always go back to Rodney if Wesley failed. That was why she did something that would make Rodney forgive her. For example… She could say she did not leave Rodney back then because she wanted to.
Instead, her intention was for Rodney to go back to the Snow family.
“She hoped for him to live better and soar higher. She didn’t want to be his stumbling block. She did everything for his own good without meaning to hurt him.”
“Right. This is the most probable reason.”
Chester agreed. “If I’m not mistaken, when I saw Sarah and President Yard behaving intimately previously, it was probably just an act. She got President Yard to put on an act with her at the last minute. When Rodney heard Sarah’s explanation, he would definitely doubt her and probe into the matter.
“After discovering that Sarah and President Yard might be innocent, Rodney probably felt that he owes Sarah because he thinks that Sarah has sacrificed a lot for him. As such, he’s very guilty toward her.”
Mireya was dumbfounded.
She had to admit that Shaun and Chester were Rodney’s best buddies as they knew his character so well.
Of course, Sarah understood Rodney very well too. Otherwise, her plan would not have worked out.
A moment later, she muttered, “Sarah might’ve planned this plot very well, but it still goes to show that Rodney has feelings for her. He still can’t get over his sweetheart.” Chester stayed quiet.
In fact, Chester could have begged for mercy and spoken up for Rodney. However, considering that Rodney was protective of Sarah, it was not easy to deal with the issue. Dealing with it would make Mireya suffer too.
He was not bothered to beg for mercy on behalf of Rodney.
Even Chester, who was cold and distant, felt that Rodney was ignorant of the truth.
Shaun had nothing much to say either.
Given that Shaun had lost his memory, he was not very close to Rodney. Now that Rodney was covering up for Sarah and opposing him, Shaun did not even feel like being friends with him anymore.
Cate asked with discontent, “So are we going to wait for half a month without doing anything? Is there a way to expose Sarah’s true colors?”
“How should we do it?” Chester asked, “Should we look for President Yard who put on an act with her before this? I’m guessing he doesn’t know Sarah’s intentions either. He went along probably because he assumed that Sarah wanted to fulfill Rodney’s wishes.”
Shaun scoffed. “This matter sounds simple, but you all know full well that Sarah has done many evil deeds. Rodney is still hopeful about her, which is why he chose to believe in her. Deep down, he continues to hope that the girl he has had a crush on for over ten years is kind. He believes that she was forced to do those bad deeds before this.”
Cate went quiet.
Although the comments might hurt Mireya’s self- esteem, they could be the truth.
It was fine if other people did not believe that Sarah did those things, but Rodney did.
That was why he had been defending her.
Mireya let out a sardonic laugh. “You’re right, Young Master Lyons. Rodney isn’t clear about the situation. In fact, he doesn’t want to get it clear. No matter how protective he is of Sarah, I won’t let her off.”
“Right. Sarah is too evil, ” Cate said, ” Shaun, she deserves to die more than a hundred deaths for what she has done to us in the past. She secretly took away Aunty Jennifer’s ashes and threw them elsewhere. She was also the one who incited Thomas to infuriate Uncle Boris, and she ruined the entire Neeson family. I definitely won’t allow her to get away just like that.”
At the mention of the Neeson family’s matter, Chester blinked his eyes, which flashed with a hint of grimness.
Shaun wrapped his arm around Cate’s shoulder. “I’ll discuss this with Uncle Nathan and contact Uncle Titus as well. Bear in mind that if it weren’t for the drug Sarah provided, your mom wouldn’t have fallen sick. Rodney has been feeling guilty about it. We can all pressure him by then. “
After pausing for a moment, Shaun said coldly, “By the way, I promised Rodney that I’d wait for half a month, but I didn’t tell him that death awaits Sarah even if I recover half a month later.”
After that, Cate asked the two men to leave first.
She stayed there to keep Mireya company. “Do you want me to have a drink with you?”
“The bars aren’t open in the daytime.” Mireya wanted to find a place to get a drink too. When she thought about Dani, she had no choice but to tell herself that escaping reality by drinking would not help. “Cate, I want to consult a lawyer about divorce-related matters. I also want to fight for Dani’s custody. “
“I know an excellent divorce lawyer. I’ll come along with you.”
“No need. Just let me know the lawyer’s contact details. I want to have some quiet time alone on my way there.”
After Mireya finished speaking, she saw Cate’s anxious gaze fixed on her. Then, she forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve gone through all kinds of situations over the past few years—from being physically abused by Patrick to being insulted by Thomas and even having no choice but to leave Australia. But after I returned, I became the prime minister’s goddaughter. When Senator Mead prepared to rebel, I was kept under surveillance every day and had to be cautious. I almost thought I was going to die, but I survived those days. I’m no longer the same as how I was back in Melbourne. What’s more, I can’t give up, or what’s going to happen to Dani?”
She gnashed her teeth and said with a hoarse voice, “If Rodney plans on marrying Sarah in the future, I’m sure Sarah won’t treat Dani well. I need to take Dani away.”
“Mireya, we’ll help you.” Cate was saddened by Mireya’s words. ” If things really get that bad, I’ll ask my mom for help. As much as I don’t want to acknowledge her, I can ask her to get Uncle Titus’ help.”
“Thanks, Cate.”
Somehow, Mireya felt more at ease with Cate’s presence.
At the very least, she was not lonely in Canberra. She drove around the city.
Her phone rang many times.
Those calls were from Rodney, but she did not pick them up.
At the sight of his number, Mireya was too weak to answer it.
It felt as though her head was going to explode. She was desperate for a way to vent her feelings.
She parked her car at the roadside.
