Cate did not say anything, but her eyes stung. She loved him, and he loved her.
However, reality was not a fairy tale. They had to be responsible for their children.
After reaching the Snow residence.
When the butler brought them in, they heard Rodney’s voice when they arrived at the door.
“Uncle, Shaun is like my brother and he has a good relationship with the Snow family. You have to help him.”
” Second Master Snow, Young Master Lyons and Miss Cox are here, ” the butler said.
Shaun and Cate took a look and saw that besides Nathan, Mireya and Rodney were present too.
Shaun nodded at them and punched Rodney’s shoulder gently. “Thanks.”
“We’re brothers.” Rodney chuckled and rubbed his nose.
Shaun did not say anything else and looked at Nathan. “Uncle Nathan, you know how I am. The Lyons family has stood at the top of the business world for more than a hundred years and has always abided by the rules. This is the first time that such a large-scale investigation has been carried out. I just want to know what they want.”
“Shaun, I’ll tell you the truth.” Nathan lit a cigarette. “I contacted the executive council, and they warned me not to intervene in this matter.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to afford the consequences.”
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Rodney stood up furiously. “Do they want to ruin Lyons Corporation?”
“Most likely,” Nathan nodded and said helplessly, ” Even though you’ve come to me for help, the only thing I can give you is an apology.”
Shaun’s handsome face sunk. “You’ll be the prime minister next month. What if I delay it until then?”
“Shaun, I suspect that it’s not the executive council that’s targeting you. Someone might have told them to do it, and that force is one that the executive council can’t afford to offend. I think it’s imperative that you find out who you offended first. Only then will you be able to come up with a solution, ” Nathan reminded him.
“I understand.” Shaun nodded.
Rodney was stunned. “That can’t be. Shaun does have a lot of enemies, but they’re third-rate trash like Mason and Wesley. How did he provoke someone who even the highest power in the country can’t afford to offend?”
“You don’t know, but there are always more powerful people in the world, ” Nathan said meaningfully.
After leaving the Snow residence.
Shaun and Rodney were walking side by side. Cate and Mireya walked behind them.
“Cate, don’t worry. There’ll definitely be a way.” Mireya did not know how to comfort Cate, but she said it anyway.
“There is a way, but Mireya, I need your help, ” Cate suddenly said, ” It may be the only way to get a clue on who this person is.”
“Me?”
Mireya was a little stunned. “Are you sure?”
“Actually, I suspect that the people who rescued Patrick from prison and the people who are targeting Lyons Corporation are the same,” Cate said with a complicated tone, ” It’s too much of a coincidence. Both events happened at the same time and the orders came from the executive council.”
“You mean… because I offended Patrick, those people are targeting Lyons Corporation as you’re my friend and Shaun is your boyfriend?”
“No, I suspect that it’s Linda.”
Cate made a guess. “We know very well about the Jackson family’s ability, especially after seeing the look on the faces of Patrick’s parents. They were really powerless and even gave up on saving their son, but he was suddenly released. It’s definitely thanks to someone close to him and who wanted to save him, so it’s very likely to be Linda.”
“Linda?” Mireya was astonished. “Is she that capable? As far as I know, Linda has been overwhelmed these days. The Shelby family is going bankrupt.”
“Have you forgotten what happened three years ago?” Cate reminded her. “When I asked you to go to Melbourne to do the DNA test for Shelley Neeson and Jeffery Cox, you were seen by Linda and Rosabella took the opportunity to flee.”
Mireya’s brain flashed. “You mean that Rosabella is helping Linda?”
“When my mom’s grave was destroyed, I received a warning letter from Rosabella. She may have found a new force to back her abroad. It seems she’s sure that she can bring me down, ” Cate said with deep concern, “Even Jeffery and his wife easily got out of prison. Logan and Austin were attacked as well.”
Mireya found it a little difficult to accept that fact. “S o you think that the force behind Rosabella can give orders to the people in the executive council?”
“I don’t want it to be true either, ” Cate said with a heavy expression.
“If it’s true, then Rosabella definitely came back for revenge. It’s impossible for a vicious person like her to let us go.” Mireya gnashed her teeth in annoyance. “It’s so unfair. Why hasn’t God given her retribution yet?”
“You have the protection of the Snow family, so you should be fine, ” Cate comforted her. “Besides, I’m the one she’s after. I think that if the person behind this really is her, when Lyons Corporation falls, her next target will be Hudson Corporation. “
“Why isn’t she going after you first?”
“Because I’m Hudson Corporation’s only shareholder and all the power is in my hands, so it won’t be easy for them to start with me. On the other hand, Shaun is supporting me. If they get rid of my supporter, it’ll be easier to deal with me afterward, ” Cate explained faintly.
Mireya admired her more and more.
She had to say that after experiencing so many things, Cate had become increasingly calm.
” I want to help you… Do you want me to start with Patrick?” Mireya thought about it for a long time and finally seemed to understand.
Cate nodded. “Shaun and I are in the light, but the person behind the scenes is in the dark. We know nothing about that force. I think that the other party’s power isn’t small, so it’s impossible to go against them headfirst. We can only ferret out the culprit and sit down to have a talk about it. I think that Rosabella probably just hooked up with a powerful man abroad. A person like that definitely won’t be muddled by love, so it’s possible to solve this if we offer him some benefits.”
Mireya had a headache now. “So what should I do with Patrick?”
“I think he still has feelings for you.” Cate looked at her with a slightly helpless and apologetic expression. ” If there are feelings, there’ll be guilt.”
Mireya laughed and held her bulging belly. “I’m married now and pregnant too. Don’t forget, when he uploaded the video, he was basically trying to kill me.”
“Actually, I think it was Linda who incited him.”
Cate said, “We’ve known Patrick for a long time. He’s actually a little similar to Nathan, but he’s not as despicable as Nathan when it comes to the business world. Every step he takes is genuine, and he has never thought about taking shortcuts. To put it bluntly, he’s just indecisive when it comes to relationships. He’s naive and easily cheated by innocent-looking but calculative women.”
Mireya was silent. She agreed with Cate on that point.
“Look, didn’t Nathan come to his senses later?” Cate continued.
“That’s because what Rosabella loved wasn’t Nathan himself. What she loved were his bright prospects. When Nathan was left with nothing, she wanted nothing more than to get rid of him. But Linda… truly loves Patrick.” Mireya suddenly lowered her voice. “If she didn’t love him, she would’ve given up on him already. I think… now that Patrick has been released, he’ll be even more grateful to Linda.”
“You’ve forgotten something. Wasn’t there an anonymous post that discredited your godfather and the police tracked it to Jackson Corporation? If i t wasn’t Patrick who did it, then it must be Linda. Patrick was locked up in prison for more than a month, so he must have thought about the ins and outs of this matter clearly. He’s not a fool, ” Cate reminded her meaningfully.
Mireya’s eyes brightened as she clicked her tongue. ” Cate, I realize that you’re becoming more and more clever.”
“If I didn’t toughen up, I would’ve been devoured alive a long time ago. After facing people like Wesley, my mind has advanced by leaps and bounds.” Cate let out a low sigh.
“Okay, I’ll help you.” Mireya patted her shoulder.
“You’d better tell Rodney about it. He’s a man, so he’ll want to keep up appearances, ” Cate said.
“He doesn’t like me anyway. He won’t care.” Mireya looked indifferent.
Cate looked at her appearance and was a little speechless.
Mireya’s thoughts were always so simple.
They arrived at the gate to see that Rodney and Shaun were waiting for them.
“What are you two talking about? You talk more than men.” Rodney frowned at them.
“Don’t women always talk more than men?” Cate patted Mireya’s shoulder, nodded at her, and left with Shaun.
Mireya looked at their backs thoughtfully.
“What are you thinking about? Let’s go back.” Rodney pulled her hand and went next door.
After their marriage, the mansion the Snow family gave them was just around the corner. It was a five to six-minute walk away.
Mireya was distracted and only noticed that he was holding her hand when they reached the door of the villa. She immediately shook off his hand. “Rodney Snow, don’t try to take advantage of me.”
