His eyes narrowed grimly. “Mom, we can ignore the other problems but she killed our Granny and even tortured Sis so badly. We definitely can’t let her off the hook, Shaun too.”
“Yeah. I’ll let you settle it.” Sheryl asked Rosabella,”
What’s your cousin’s name?”
“Cate Cox,” Rosabella immediately answered. “Cate Cox.”
Sheryl was stunned as she muttered this name. It was a nice name, which gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
“Mom…” When Rosabella noticed that Sheryl was zoning out, she quickly called out to her for fear that Sheryl would recall something.
Sheryl came back to her senses and said apologetically, “Matthew, I’ll leave Cate to you to deal with. She must pay back for what she has done to my daughter.”
“No problem, Mom. I’ll head to Australia with some people tomorrow, ” Matthew promptly said, ” Coincidentally, I’ve been sick of staying in Neah Bay every day.”
“Take your time. Now that I know where my hometown is, I’ll definitely go back and pay my respects to my parents, ” Sheryl said sorrowfully, “As for my brother, I have to find a way to find him. When the time comes, we’ll head there together. You can bring Rosabella around to familiarize her with Neah Bay during this period.”
“Alright then.” Matthew obeyed his mother’s order reluctantly.
Meanwhile, Rosabella was inwardly elated. With the Costner family and Sheryl’s help, she would certainly be able to deal with Cate and Shaun. It would be as easy as squashing an ant.
¡®Cate Cox, Shaun Lyons, just wait.’
Rosabella was going to make a comeback in no time and settle the old scores with them one by one.
¡®Also, Cate, I’m sure it’ll be interesting to be tortured by your biological mother and brother.’
Hehe. As for herself, she would soon become the successor of Soromon Island. Haha.
“By the way, do you know my name from back then?” Sheryl asked.
“Mom, your name is Sheryl Cox,” Rosabella finally said something that was true.
“Sheryl Cox,” Sheryl mumbled the name. She knew that her name was Sheryl but did not know her last name. The name Sheryl Cox sounded familiar to her. “Hubby, Matt, my name will be Sheryl Cox from now on.”
“Wifey, it’s up to you as long as you’re happy with it. ” Titus’ sharp eagle-like gaze swept over Rosabella.
Although Rosabella had not slipped up when she was explaining everything earlier, Titus just disliked this stepdaughter for no apparent reason.
It was not because Rosabella was not his daughter.
As much as he was narrow-minded, he would still fulfill his promises to his wife. However, he was subconsciously resistant to the sudden appearance of this stepdaughter.
Australia.
In the office of Jackson Corporation.
At this moment, a few senior shareholders were telling Patrick off.
“Patrick, what on earth is going on? Why have the media been reporting that our cookies have acrylamide that can lead to cancer? It’s true that our cookies have acrylamide, but the levels of acrylamide are so low that it won’t cause cancer at all. Now that people are magnifying the issue, it’s obvious that someone is wilfully finding fault with our company.”
“This cookie is our company’s bestseller, yet the supervision department has now suspended our production. They’re trying to make us lose our livelihood.”
“Other food companies use this chemical in their products too. What gives them the right to find fault with us?”
“Patrick, did you offend someone out there? This person seems to be quite powerful, considering that they managed to do this. Why don’t… you look for Miss Lynch? She’s the goddaughter of the future prime minister now. It should be easy to ask her for help.”
“Yeah. After all, you were in a relationship with Miss Lynch for a couple of years. She’ll take your history into consideration.”
The shareholders made these remarks straightforwardly in front of Linda.
Linda’s body swayed a little, and her face paled.
Patrick’s face turned ghastly. Even so, he could not expose that it was Mireya’s doing.
He never thought that Mireya would end up going so far.
After all, they used to be in love with each other. How could she be so cruel?
He regretted approaching her of his own accord that night and giving her his business card.
However, he could not expose it to the company’s shareholders as they would be more unhappy with him and Linda.
“Enough. Just drop it. I’ve already broken up with Mireya for years and we no longer talk to each other. I’ll find a way to settle this issue,” Patrick forced his mouth open and said with a deep voice.
“That’s true.” One of the shareholders threw Linda a glance. “Miss Lynch came to the office and quarreled with some of our people previously.
Perhaps she’s still holding a grudge against you. “
At the mention of this issue, all the shareholders were unhappy with Patrick.
At first, everyone thought that Mireya was the one who behaved arrogantly and unreasonably when she fought with Linda back then. Later, when Patrick got into a relationship with Linda, many employees secretly discussed it and thought that Linda deserved to be beaten up. They believed that what made Mireya’s blood boil was the fact that Patrick had long since been involved with Linda.
Linda bit her lip and lowered her head.
Patrick shot a glance at her, his eyes flashing with guilt. He leaped to his feet and said, “Let’s dismiss. I’m going to have lunch with the supervision department later. I’ll try my best to settle the issue.”
“Even if you settle it, our company’s reputation is still ruined. The food industry is different from others. People won’t forget about it just because the incident is over. It takes several years of PR to save our reputation.”
All the shareholders grumbled before they walked away.
Patrick clenched his fists. Only after Linda closed the door did she turn around and say guiltily, “The shareholders are right. If Mireya…”
“Don’t mention her anymore, ” Patrick said frostily, “This was her doing.”
“Huh?” Linda pursed her lips and asked with surprise, “Why did she do that? Is it because she still hates you?”
“Yeah.” Patrick furrowed his brows deeply, his eyes glinting with fury and misery. “I really don’t understand when she started acting so cruelly. Or has she always been like this? After gaining her current status, she has learned to bully people.”
“It’s my fault.” Linda was filled with annoyance and guilt. “If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have contacted you whenever something happened to me back then. Also, I wouldn’t have gotten together with you. Patrick, why don’t… we… break up now?”
Linda said sorrowfully as tears slid down her face. ” I’m sure Mireya can’t get over you, that’s why she still hates you. She might agree to be with you again if you pursue her. What’s more, she’s currently the goddaughter of the future prime minister. If you marry her, she’ll be a real help to your future, unlike me. I can’t do anything else except some secretarial work and household chores.”
When Patrick heard those words at the end of her sentence, he was suddenly reminded of her selfless dedication in the past three years. With that, he felt even guiltier deep down. “Linda, don’t say things like these. Secretarial work can be quite tiring at times. What’s more, it’s good enough that you can cook and do the cleaning for me even though you’re worn out. Mireya never did these back then, so you’re much better than her.”
“But…”
“Just drop it. I’m not a social climber. Considering that you’ve sacrificed so much for me, I won’t dump you just because of the company,” Patrick interrupted her, “Go and rest. I really need to meet the supervision department now.”
“Let me accompany you, ” Linda promptly said.
“No need.” Patrick shook his head and rejected Linda’s offer.
At noon, Patrick had lunch with the supervision department and offered them some benefits. Only then did he find out that Rodney was the mastermind behind the incident.
He immediately drove to Osher Corporation.
Rodney did not allow Patrick to come up and made him wait two hours downstairs.
After two hours, Patrick knocked on the door and entered Rodney’s office. In the spacious office, he saw Rodney leaning on the leather chair with his legs lazily placed on the desk. Rodney was throwing the darts in his hand onto the wall.
Obviously, he was not skillful as the darts did not hit the red bullseye.
“F*ck. How unlucky,” Rodney cursed.
The assistant then reminded, “President Snow, Patrick is here.”
Only then did Rodney lift his eyes and turn his gaze to Patrick, who was wearing a blue shirt and a pair of black pants. He had to admit that Patrick had a decent appearance. Although he was far more attractive than Patrick, Patrick was considered good-looking compared to others.
He had seen Patrick before. Three years or so ago, Patrick had pestered Mireya at the entrance of Hudson Corporation. In the end, Rodney acted as Mireya’s shield and drove him away.
“What’s the matter?” Rodney lazily opened his mouth.
