Feeling speechless, Mireya glowered at Chester. ” How could a pregnant woman like me have possibly beaten him up? You should ask your fiancee. She should know best.”
At the mention of Cindy, Chester’s handsome face darkened. “What happened?”
“It was Bryce, that simp, who beat me. But I beat that simp quite terribly as well.” Rodney endured the pain on his cheeks and gasped while saying ,” Shaun has been under investigation lately, and we found out that it has to do with Cate’s cousin, Rosabella, who’s from Melbourne. We heard she was a t Zenith Clubhouse, so we headed there, only to see Bryce, Rosabella, and Cindy there too. Rosabella was pretty arrogant. Even Bryce kept flattering her.”
As Chester listened, he became increasingly dumbfounded.
He was aware that quite a rigorous investigation into Lyons Corporation was underway. He also knew it was initiated by the executive council. However, he never expected Bryce and Rosabella to be involved in the issue.
Chester was under no illusions that Rosabella impersonated Shelley to stay by Shaun’s side three years ago. Later, she killed the real Shelley and framed Charity. She was also the main mastermind who fooled Charity and ultimately sent her to jail.
Unfortunately, Mason had died too soon, so there was no direct evidence proving that Rosabella was the mastermind of the incident back then.
Yet, little did Chester expect that Cindy would be in contact with Rosabella.
A trace of grimness flashed across the depths of his eyes.
“What’s with Rosabella’s background? Bryce has always been narcissistic, right?” Chester asked coldly.
“We’re not sure.” Chester shook his head in frustration. “But I noticed Bryce and Rosabella speaking pretty confidently as if they could defeat Shaun at any time. Think about it. Even the executive council is trying to please Rosabella. Who can that person behind her be?”
Chester pursed his thin lips sternly.
Shaun would most likely be in deep trouble this time.
Nevertheless, what angered Chester was Cindy, that woman.
After Rodney had been bandaged, his chauffeur drove him and Mireya back to the villa.
During the journey, Rodney pulled a long face. As he rarely got into a fight, this was his first serious injury.
Mireya darted a glance at his swollen and bruised face that had some medicine on it. It made his handsome face look comical.
For the first time, she did not find the sight of him annoying. “Thanks… for today.”
Rodney was stunned, probably because Mireya hardly thanked him. Hence, this was unbelievable.
He swiftly turned his eyes to Mireya, who mustered her courage to say awkwardly, “Anyway, you got into the fight because of me. Also, if it weren’t for you, Cate and I might not have been able to ride it out.”
“Oh well. With Cate’s authoritative personality.
Rodney’s thin lips moved as he muttered the words. After pausing for a moment, he said, “You don’t have to thank me again. Didn’t you already say it just now?”
With that, Mireya stopped being coy. Now that she was married to Rodney, she felt that they were considered allies. There was no need to behave as though they were enemies.
Cate was planning to drive to Lyons Corporation at first, but she found out later through a call that Shaun was already home.
She then drove back to the Lyons family’s villa, only to find that Suzie and Lucas had gone to Old Madam Lyons’s place while Shaun was eating pasta.
However, she did not feel like eating, probably because she was in a bad mood.
As soon as Shaun noticed Cate’s return, he put down his fork. “Where did you go? I heard Aunty Yasmine say that you left in a hurry after your dinner.”
“To investigate something. ” Cate sat down and told him what happened tonight.
Upon hearing it, Shaun’s face turned grave. He even looked slightly annoyed. “Cate Cox, why didn’t you discuss such a serious matter with me?”
“I noticed that you were tied up.” Cate battered her innocent eyes. Apparently, any man who saw those eyes could not bear to criticize her.
Nevertheless, Shaun lost his temper. “You don’t even know how wicked Bryce is. How dare Rodney hide it from me. Wasn’t he afraid that you’d be left suffering there?”
” Since I had the guts to go there, I was confident that I could ride it out.” With that, she shrugged helplessly. ” If I didn’t go there, how can I be sure that Rosabella is related to the issue?”
“I’ll ask Liona members to keep a close watch on Bryce. I’m sure Bryce knows the person behind Rosabella, and he’ll go all out to flatter that person too. We’ll find out who it is by then, ” Shaun said coldly.
He was worried not because Lyons Corporation was under investigation but because he was clueless about the other party’s background.
“Are you sure you can solve it?” Cate looked at him anxiously.
Shaun was stunned for a few seconds before he pursed his thin lips. “If I can’t solve it, you can take the kids overseas.”
Cate’s heart did a flip.
Given that this man used to be so confident, his current manner made her feel lost.
“What about you?” she asked after a while.
” I don’t care who’s backing Rosabella. Now that she has returned to Australia, I’ll destroy her.” Shaun’s bloodshot eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty. ” It was my mistake that made Rosabella who she is today. I won’t allow this mistake to happen again. I must protect you and the kids.”
“Is it… really that bad?” A look of agony washed over Cate’s face. She may seem confident in front of Rosabella, but she was actually unsure of herself.
“Judging from how careful Bryce is toward Rosabella, I suspect the person behind Rosabella is of immense significance to the global economy.”
After Shaun spoke gravely, Cate froze. It baffled her why God was so unfair to help such a wicked woman like Rosabella time and time again.
” Sorry, Cate. ” Shaun suddenly hugged Cate tightly, as if he was going to press her into his body. “How I wish I could be with you like this forever. “
Locked in his embrace, Cate felt dissatisfied.
Cate and Shaun had gone through a lot of hardships to get to this point. Although the kids called Shaun ¡®scummy dad’, they had long since accepted him.
No. She was unwilling to give up just like that. She had to put in some effort, at least.
All of a sudden, a person occurred to her.
When Shaun was taking a bath that night, Cate gave Matthew a call.
Matthew’s phone rang for quite a while before he answered it.
He sounded rather surprised, yet he kept his voice low. “Hi. I didn’t expect you to take the initiative to call me.”
“Am I interrupting your date?” As a sharp -witted person, Cate guessed that it might be inconvenient for him to speak now.
“I’m not on a date. I was just chatting with my family. ” Matthew explained with a faint smile, “As I said, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Are your parents in Canberra?” Cate was a little surprised. It was no wonder he rarely contacted her.
Indeed, he previously contacted her a lot to inquire about the villa and get familiar with Canberra.
“They came a few days ago.”
Amid her thoughts, Cate realized that was exactly when something happened to Lyons Corporation. “Are you free for lunch tomorrow? I’d like to ask you something.”
“That’s rare. I’ve always been the one to consult you,” Matthew said jokingly.
“Will you be available? Otherwise…”
“Yes. Let’s make it at noon tomorrow.” Matthew agreed categorically.
After hanging up, Matthew felt quite uneasy while standing on the balcony. Could Cate have found out about something since she called him at this time? It was unlikely as he had always been cautious.
Perhaps she wanted to ask him for help regarding Lyons Corporation’s matter.
“Matthew, who were you talking to on the phone? Why are you so mysterious? You even walked away.” Sheryl, who was in the living room, waved at him. “Come over. Your sister has brought home some good food.”
” It’s from an old restaurant in Canberra that my friend recommended. Mom, I know you love spicy food, and so do I. That’s why I ordered a set for takeaway,” Rosabella said while beaming.
“It seems that daughters are more caring.” Sheryl purposely shot a look at her son.
Matthew felt aggrieved. “Mom, if I care for you too much, Dad will find me annoying for being the third wheel.”
Titus snorted. “I’m not as petty as you.”
