Upon hearing it, Wesley frowned. “There were people inside when it happened?”
“Yeah. They should be tonight’s guests.” Cate said reluctantly, “I wonder who they are. The police aren’t there yet, so nobody dares to force the doors open.”
“How can this kind of incident happen… ” Wesley mumbled, “I hope not many people are inside.”
“Mireya said there was a man and a woman, ” Cate replied.
Wesley’s expression finally shifted.
However, it returned to normal seconds later.
“Wesley… Why don’t you head home first? I have a feeling that Mireya is in low spirits because of this incident. I want to keep her company,” Cate suddenly said.
“Alright. I’ll go with you so that you won’t be frightened, ” Wesley answered gently.
“It’s fine. You can drop me at the entrance. I’ll sleep over at Mireya’s place tonight. You should go home early and rest.” Considering her restlessness at this moment, Cate was not in the mood to interact with Wesley.
“…Okay.” Wesley glanced at her.
He planned to let her go since Shaun should be dead by now.
That person would not appear in Cate and his little world anymore.
Ten minutes later, Cate received a WhatsApp message from Mireya. [Damn. Cate, I have bad news for you.]
At the sight of the message, Cate’s heart began to tremble.
It seemed that Mireya was going to confirm the assumption in her mind.
She subconsciously refused to learn it.
Nevertheless, Mireya sent another message. [I’ve seen surveillance camera footage. Shaun entered the elevator that plummeted to the ground.]
Cate stared at the message. Her brain shorted out, and her mind went blank.
Shaun was in the elevator? He was dead?
How could it be?
The man who kissed her a few hours ago was suddenly dead?
Up until now, Cate could still remember his scent as well as his masculine voice that always made her blood boil.
In the blink of an eye, only Shaun’s corpse was left?
All Cate could feel was a force clenching her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Her mind was blank.
Even the hand that was holding her phone trembled in spite of herself.
She hated Shaun.
When he imprisoned her on the island, she hated him so much that she wished he would die.
However, why did she become lost and flustered the minute she learned that he was dead?
Mireya continued to message her. [Are you okay?]
Cate lowered her head and replied with her trembling fingers. [Are you sure?]
Mireya responded. [I’m 100 percent sure. From the footage, I saw Shaun taking the elevator down with Senator Mead’s daughter. The elevator had only gone down two floors when it malfunctioned. He couldn’t have escaped.]
Cate fixed her vacant gaze on those strange words.
At this moment, Wesley received a message as well. His eyes widened at it.
Senator Mead’s daughter, Hannah Mead, was also inside?
Damn it.
However, he was not involved in the matter. Given that he merely suggested it, the investigation of the matter would not concern him.
It was a pity to know that Hannah was in the elevator, but it was just a woman.
Everything else would not matter as long as Shaun was dead.
Wesley glanced at Cate, who looked worried beside him, and the corners of his mouth twitched grimly in the dark.
Mireya had most likely informed her of Shaun’s death.
Although Cate claimed that she no longer loved Shaun, her expression showed otherwise when she learned about Shaun’s death.
Once again, the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
Cate got out of the car straight away without saying goodbye to Wesley.
She rushed into the hotel, and at that time, the ambulance and firefighters had just arrived.
All of them gathered on the ground floor. As soon as Mireya saw Cate, she walked to her. “Why did you come back?”
“Has the dead body… been taken out yet?” Cate stared intently at her.
“They’re going to take it out now.”
Mireya sighed and held Cate’s hand, only to realize that it was icy. “Cate, don’t take it too hard.”
“I’m taking it easy. He’s only my ex-husband. Since he has done so many crazy things to me, he deserves death. It serves him right.”
Cate spoke impassively, but toward the end of her sentence, she choked so badly that her eyes reddened uncontrollably.
She did not know what was wrong with her.
She just felt very uncomfortable. It was as if both her legs were floating in the air, and she could not get them to the ground.
“Mireya, I’m not sad. Perhaps I just feel… guilty. He said that he came here today because of me. If I hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have died like this, right?”
Cate looked at Mireya in bewilderment. The man who used to be the most brilliant person in Australia had ultimately died in the elevator. How ridiculous.
Not knowing what to say, Mireya just stared at Cate sadly.
Beside her, Senator Mead’s wife was weeping bitterly, while Senator Mead, who was blind with anger, criticized the hotel manager, “Your hotel has to be responsible for the sudden malfunction of the elevator. I won’t let you guys off the hook.”
Upon prying the doors open, the firefighters got down by clutching onto the cable. Everyone watched the dark spot beneath and waited with bated breath.
“Dad, Mom…”
Suddenly, a woman behind yelled amid her sobs. Senator Mead and his wife froze. They swung around, only to see a pretty young lady standing behind them. However, she was a sorry mess. Her white dress was ripped in half, and her lower body was wrapped around with a man’s black suit.
Standing beside the lady was a tall, handsome man.
The man was only wearing a shirt without a suit, and his tie was loosely hanging at the side of his shirt. Despite his disheveled clothes, he still looked attractive.
Cate’s eyes suddenly widened.
She would be able to recognize Shaun’s face straight away no matter how much it had changed. Was it him?
He was alive?
Her head buzzed. By the time she noticed Shaun’s eyes settling on her, it was too late to look away.
Just like that, Shaun had spotted her eyes on him. The two of them looked at each other at a distance away, separated by all the people between them.
