“Why was a cenotaph built for my mom when she is still alive? Isn’t that a curse on her?” Matthew said grimly, “By the way, have you put the warning note there as per my instruction?”
“Yes. The cemetery staff should’ve contacted Cate, and she should be able to grasp the meaning of it when she sees it.”
“Mm. She must be very anxious now, considering that she has done a lot of evil deeds. Unfortunately, she has offended the Costner family, so she’s doomed to die.” Matthew took a sip of red wine as a cold glint flashed in his eyes. “By the way, how’s the arrangement for the release of my uncle and aunt?”
“They’ll be released from prison in three days.”
“Alright. I’ll personally celebrate their return, then.” Matthew waved his hand.
“Okay.”
Soon after the subordinate left, Matthew’s assistant came in.
“Young Master, this is Cate Cox’s information that you’ve asked me to collect.”
“Give it to me.” Matthew stretched out his hand lazily.
The assistant passed him the file. When Matthew opened it and caught sight of the photo on the first page, he leaped to his feet in agitation. He accidentally hit the wine glass on the coffee table and spilled the wine all over the brown rug.
“Young Master…” The assistant was taken aback. Not knowing what to do, he gazed at Matthew’s grave, handsome face, which looked shocked.
“How could it be her?” Matthew muttered.
He was absolutely certain that the woman in the photo was Carrie Yule, the woman who saved him yesterday.
It was the woman who had supper with him last night.
No wonder he felt that she bore a passing resemblance to his mother. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity in her.
It turned out that this woman was his uncle’s daughter.
It also meant that she was his cousin…
However, Matthew did not expect her to be Cate Cox.
Based on Rosabella’s description, Cate was a despicable, cunning, and wicked woman.
Nevertheless, he personally felt that Cate was kind, considerate, gentle, and wonderful.
Could someone be so good at pretending?
Even so, Cate did not know him nor his identity. Meeting her yesterday was just by chance.
Why would she have to pretend in front of him?
“Young Master, what’s wrong?” The assistant could not help but ask after noticing that Matthew looked cold sometimes and confused at other times.
“Are you sure she’s Cate Cox?” Matthew asked.
“Of course. Although she’s not a celebrity, she’s well-known in Australia mainly due to her involvement with the two handsome men, Wesley Sanderson and Shaun Lyons.”
The assistant added, “Besides, this woman… I don’t know how to describe her. She doesn’t seem to care about how others see her. She’s married to Wesley from Golden Corporation, yet she has gotten back together publicly with her ex-husband, Shaun, and i s now staying with him.”
Matthew was stunned. ” Isn’t Australia a country that places heavy emphasis on good manners?”
“Yeah.”
The assistant nodded. “After scanning through the comments on the Internet, I noticed that a lot of people actually support Cate in getting together with Shaun. It seems that Wesley has a bad reputation. He likes beating women, and he even married Cate using devious tactics. Having said that, the news on the Internet can be true and false. Since we’re foreigners, we can’t tell whether it’s true.”
“You’re right. In fact, there are only two possible reasons.”
Matthew flipped through the file in his hand impassively. ” It could be either Wesley’s character is really nasty or Cate is too cunning in that she destroyed her current husband’s reputation so as to betray him rightfully. This way, the public would think that there’s nothing wrong with her cheating on him.”
The assistant nodded and agreed with what Matthew had analyzed. “The second one seems more probable. After all, Miss Cox has claimed that Cate is brutal, even to the extent of killing her biological grandmother and plotting against her parents.”
Matthew pursed his exquisite, thin lips.
If he had learned this earlier, he would have believed it without a second thought.
However, was Cate such an evil woman?
If she was evil, why did she save him yesterday? Could someone really hide themselves so well? Matthew continued to flip through the document.
Once again, something caught him by surprise.”
Cate is the chief design officer of Hazle Group?”
He had met the owner of Hazle Group, who was a talented man. The owner was also the one who personally designed the most popular hotel in Neah Bay.
Unexpectedly…
This woman had astonished him a lot.
“Put this on the back burner first. ” Matthew closed the file. “I’ll handle it by myself.”
“Okay.” The assistant was baffled. Dealing with a woman like Cate was just like squashing an ant. Why did Matthew need to handle it by himself?
The prison gate.
Cate waited for about 20 minutes before the prison warden called her in.
Soon, she saw Sally.
Having not seen her for several years, Sally looked much older at this point. She used to be in good shape, but she currently looked close to her 70s even though she was only in her 50s. Her face was filled with wrinkles. Cate could tell that she had not been living well in prison.
“Aunty… ” Cate lifted the handset and gazed through the transparent glass that separated them.
“Ha. You used to call me Mom, but now you’re calling me Aunty. It’s pointless raising you for more than ten years, b*tch.” Sally looked at Cate as if she was her enemy.
” I’m calling you Aunty simply because I’m well- mannered. ” Cate said nonchalantly, “After all, you killed my biological grandmother, so you don’t deserve my respect at all.”
“Why are you looking for me then?” Sally suddenly scoffed. “Is it because you’re worried about the fact that we’ll be released soon? After trying so hard to send us to jail, you never thought that we’d be out in less than four years, huh?”
Cate knitted her brows. “It’s Rosabella’s doing, right? She’s back.”
“Why? Are you scared?” Sally smiled smugly. ” Cate Cox, karma will hit you very soon. Rosabella will pay you back with interest for all you’ve done to us. Just wait.”
“Sure enough…”
Upon receiving the answer she wanted, Cate bit her lip. ” Sure. She got away four years ago, but now that she has returned rashly, I’ll take her down. I forgot to inform you that I once sold Rosabella to the mountains after you got into jail.
Tsk. That was probably the highlight of her entire life.”
“What did you say?”
Cate’s provocative words made Sally fly into a rage. “B*tch, how dare you do that to Rosabella?
You’ll be dead this time. She won’t let you get away, and we’re going to put you through hell.”
“Just because she said so?”
“You don’t even know Rosabella’s identity now. Haha. She can take you down as easily as squashing an ant. Having Shaun to protect you won’t help.
Even the prime minister of Australia won’t be able to protect you,” Sally roared with clenched teeth.
“Really? I can’t wait.”
Cate smirked, but deep down, she was overwhelmed with frustration.
There must be some grounds for Sally’s remarks. She definitely knew what was going on.
Cate did not call Jeffery out because he was more manipulative than Sally. Even if he knew about the matter, he would be tight-lipped about it.
