Mireya glared at him. “Cate’s cousin. She’s a terrible woman, maybe even more terrible than Sarah.”
Rodney was stunned. He was cheated by Sarah for more than a decade, but there was someone who was better at deceiving others than Sarah?
“Let’s stop talking about these unhappy things. Your status isn’t low now. Even if she’s back, there’s no need to be afraid,” Forrest said with a faint smile.
“That’s true. Cate, I’m now Uncle Nathan’s goddaughter. I’ll definitely help you.” Mireya wrapped an arm around Cate. “Actually, it’s good if she comes back. We can settle all the scores we have with her. This time, we’ll make sure that she can’t escape.”
“Thank you, but it was just a thought. Maybe she didn’t come back at all.”
Cate smiled. After Mireya and the others left, she walked toward the underground parking lot.
Before long, a middle-aged man hurried over. ” Chairman Cox, I’m sorry. I was late because of the traffic. This is the car you wanted…”
“It’s fine.” Cate took the car keys. “You can go back to work.”
After she got into the car, she went and bought some flowers.
The shop was on an old street in Melbourne.
She entered the large flower shop and said, “Mister, give me some flowers, please.”
“Got it.” The man quickly prepared the flowers and handed them to her.
“Do you sell wreaths?” Cate asked.
“No.” The man shook his head. “A young man came by earlier and bought all of my stock. He probably wants to pay tribute to an elder.”
Cate was stunned. It seemed like there were weirdos everywhere. “Okay, I’ll look elsewhere then.”
However, after going to around five shops, she found that the wreaths had all been bought by the same person.
One of the shop owners said to her, “Why don’t you look in the alley? There are a few shops there.
Maybe that person hasn’t gone there yet.”
Cate nodded. She was still familiar with Melbourne.
People rarely went into that alley. There were just a few elderly there maintaining their businesses in dilapidated stores.
She had not gone far inside when she saw a man in a black T-shirt surrounded by several hooligans.
“Hey, kid. You’re pretty rich. I saw that you bought all the wreaths in this area. You must have a lot of money, eh?” The leader grinned and swung the bat in his hands. “Leave the watch and your wallet behind and we’ll let you go.”
“This watch was given to me by my dad. It’s expensive. I can’t give it to you.” The man refused. He had an accent, and his pronunciation was not accurate.
Cate raised her brows. She could immediately tell by the man’s voice that he was very young. Maybe he had just finished college. He must have grown up abroad, so he was not very familiar with English.
Maybe his parents were from Melbourne and had not come back for a long time, so he wanted to visit their ancestors’ graves and pay respects.
He was so young, but he bought all the wreaths available for his deceased elders. He must be hoping that they would live well in the afterlife.
Cate had a good impression of the young man. “Haha, do you think you have a choice?” The ruffian snorted. “You stinky brat, hurry up and hand the stuff over. Otherwise, you’ll have to crawl to leave.”
“Mugging someone in broad daylight. I think you guys must be crazy. ” Cate went over with a faint smile.
Today, she wore a pair of ripped jeans, a white T- shirt, and a faded denim jacket. A pair of sunglasses hung from the bridge of her nose, making her look like she was in her early 2os at first glance.
Although her features were hidden by the glasses, it was clear that her face was beautiful with her defined nose bridge and moderately thick lips. Even with the maple shade lipstick, she looked so bright and stunning that everyone was shocked.
Matthew Costner looked at her with a thumping heart.
For some reason, he felt that this woman gave him a familiar feeling. He had seen photos of Sheryl Cox when she was young and thought that his mother was the most beautiful woman, but when he saw this young woman in front of him, he suddenly found that her looks were not inferior to his mother’s.
Although he could not see her eyes, he felt that her eyes must be very beautiful too.
Rosabella was also a beauty. However, compared to the woman in front of him, Rosabella’s facial features were completely overshadowed.
Cate also looked at the young man in front of her.
She froze.
The young man was 6’2. His short hair made his mixed-raced facial features more defined, and he exuded an aura of arrogance and unruliness. His eyes were a shocking blue and looked very beautiful. They were able to bewitch others.
With such looks, he would be the best-looking man no matter where he went.
It looked like he was only three or four years younger than her.
“Woah, where did this hot chick come from? She delivered herself right to our doorstep.” One of the ruffian’s eyes brightened when he saw Cate. ” Babe, why don’t you come home with me? I won’t rob him then.”
“Beautiful damsel, hurry up and leave. I’ll stop them. ” Matthew raised his arm and shielded her behind him.
The corners of Cate’s mouth twitched.
What? Beautiful damsel? Which remote ravine did this guy crawl out from?
“Enough. You’re trying to rob a foreigner in broad daylight? Don’t embarrass our people.” Cate pushed Matthew’s hand away and walked over slowly, snatching the wooden planks in the ruffians ¡® hands and kicking them far away.
Those sharp movements made Matthew stunned.
She was already beautiful and tall, but when she fought, she exuded a heroic aura. Even though she was fighting, the scene looked more like it was an art form to be appreciated.
With Matthew’s sharp eyes, it was easy for him to tell that her skills were just fancy and impractical.
What made him even more surprised was that this woman actually broke the arms of those ruffians. Her methods were clean and sharp.
“People like you will continue to commit robbery after you’re caught and locked up for a day. It’s better to just break your arms and let you recover for a few months. Let’s see how you’ll continue to rob others. Scram! “
Cate’s tone was light, but the ruffians were terrified when they looked at her beautiful face and immediately got up before running away.
“Thank you. ” Matthew walked up to her. He had black hair, and a shrewd look flashed in his blue eyes. “Heroine, thank you for saving me.
Otherwise, I’d definitely have been robbed.” Heroine…?
Cate almost choked on her own saliva. “Kid, did you just transmigrate over?”
Matthew was stunned. It was the first time someone called him that. If they were in Neah Bay, people would have turned to look at Cate in horror.
After all, she must be the first person to dare to call the prince of the Costner family ¡®kid’.
“What did you call me?” he spoke a little incredulously. His accent made his voice sound even more mellow and charming.
“You look like you’re only 20.” Cate sized him up.
“Yes, I’m 21 this year.” Matthew looked at her youthful face and was astonished. “You’re older than me?”
“I’m a few years older than you, so you’re a kid to me.”
Cate glanced at the plastic bag in his hand that was carrying all the wreaths. The person who bought all the wreaths must be him. It was clear at a glance that the watch on his hand and the pendant hanging from his neck were valuable, so it was no wonder that he was targeted by others. He looked like a rich fool who just came back from abroad. “This is an old street where all sorts of hooligans hang around. You shouldn’t linger around these places while dressed like that. Hurry up and go back.” She said and left.
Since she could not buy wreaths, she would just offer the flowers she got.
“Heroine, pray tell thy name?” Matthew took large strides to catch up to her.
Cate stumbled and almost fell. She was between laughter and tears. “Pray tell thy name? Are you living in the Elizabethan era?”
“Ahem. I like reading books written in that era. That’s how people used to talk, ” Matthew explained in embarrassment, “I thought… I just came to the country yesterday, so I don’t know much about the culture here.”
“You already said that it was ancient times. This is the modern era. Just talk according to how you would in your country, ” Cate explained in amusement.
“Oh.” Matthew nodded. “In that case, beautiful lady, may I ask for your name?
“… My name is Hera Imm.” Cate smiled slyly and left.
