Titus frowned before he finally said, “In that case, you can arrest two random indirect descendants of the Zeller family and punish them. After all, the Zeller family offended Shaun and the Snow family because of me…”
After he finished speaking, he darted Nathan a pensive look. “Shaun is quite closely connected to the Snow family, huh?”
Upon hearing it, Nathan felt ill at ease. He could not afford to offend the person in front of him.
Otherwise, Australia’s global development might regress to how it was ten years ago. “Mr. Costner, I’m not clear about the personal vendetta between you and Shaun, but as you can see, Shaun is no ordinary man. He has dirt on the Zeller family and perhaps on me too. If Australia gets a new prime minister again, the country will be in turmoil.
There’s really no need to disrupt the citizens’ lives just because of the personal vendetta between you both.”
Titus smiled thinly. “Prime Minister Snow, you’re quite a good negotiator. Fine, I’ll stop pressuring you then. But I can’t guarantee that I’ll behave the same again next time.”
At that, he rose to his feet. “By the way, I hope you’ll keep my identity under the hat.”
Only after Titus left did Nathan heave a sigh of relief.
At 9:00 p.m.
In the villa, Rosabella knocked on the master bedroom door with a glass of milk in her hand.
“Come in.”
As soon as Sheryl’s voice rang from the room, Rosabella walked in. “Mom, I realized that your appetite hasn’t been great, so I made a glass of milk for you.”
“Mm. ” Sheryl had dried her hair after a bath and was now rubbing her temples.
“Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me give you a massage. ” Rosabella put the glass of milk in front of her. Then, she walked behind Sheryl and massaged her temples.
“Perhaps I haven’t acclimatized to Canberra. The weather here is a bit dry. Since I’ve been here, I seem to have lost my appetite.”
Sheryl took a sip of milk. For some reason, she found herself always grumpy recently.
“The weather here isn’t as nice as Neah Bay’s. It always feels like autumn over there.” After Rosabella watched Sheryl gulp down the milk, her eyes flashed with unease.
Of course, she was aware of what was wrong with Sheryl. Every night, Sheryl would drink the milk that she had drugged. Little by little, Sheryl was getting grumpier. It made Rosabella worried that it would arouse Titus and Matthew’s suspicions.
However, if she reduced the dosage of the drug, she was afraid that Sheryl would soon recover her old memories.
“Mom, why don’t you head back to Neah Bay early?” Rosabella asked with a concerned look on her face. “I haven’t taken revenge on your grandmother’s behalf yet. I’m in no mood to return.”
After Sheryl finished speaking, Rosabella’s phone suddenly vibrated.
Rosabella took out her phone, only to see two photos of Titus and Cate that Wesley had sent. She wondered when did Titus meet Cate. They even seemed to be on good terms.
She grasped Wesley’s point in an instant.
“What’s the matter?” Sheryl turned around upon noticing that Rosabella had remained still.
“Mom, my friend bumped into Cate at tonight’s banquet, but why was she with Uncle Titus?” Rosabella feigned confusion and showed her the photos.
Sheryl was stunned to see the photos.
Titus was usually a cold fish, but he seemed very close to Cate in the photo. Sheryl wondered what Cate had told him to make him smile.
Having slept beside him for more than ten years, Sheryl could tell whether it was a sincere smile or not.
In fact, countless young women had been deliberately trying to approach Titus over the years. However, she was under no illusion that he was loyal to her. The woman in the photo… bore a closing resemblance to her— no, the woman looked very much like her younger self.
Although Sheryl was still beautiful and in good shape, what were women most sensitive to?
They were afraid that their husbands would meet a woman who resembled them and looked much younger than them.
This would make it easy for men to substitute their wives with a younger woman.
Sheryl’s pretty face immediately stiffened for a moment.
At that moment, a sense of panic and irritation that she had never felt before welled up inside her.
Nevertheless, she tried hard to suppress it.
Rosabella glanced at Sheryl’s expression and said, “I need to text this friend to tell him that it’s okay to take photos of Cate. But if Uncle Titus finds out about it, he’ll be in trouble.”
After that, Rosabella pretended to text seriously in front of Sheryl. Upon sending the message, she said playfully, “Mom, please don’t ever tell Uncle Titus about it. I’m afraid he’ll cause my friend trouble. Having said that, you should remind Uncle Titus that Cate is very cunning. I’m worried he’ll be swayed after seeing someone who looks like you. “
“Rosabella. ” Sheryl leaped to her feet. ” I won’t tell him about it. You can head to your room and rest.”
“Mm. You should rest early too. ” Rosabella then left with the glass in her hand.
Once the door was closed, Sheryl picked up her phone to call Titus. However, after she found his number, fury burned within her for some inexplicable reason, and she tossed the phone onto the floor straight away.
Only at 1o:oo p.m. did Titus sneak into the bedroom. All of a sudden, Sheryl sat up on the bed.
Titus was shocked. He quickly smiled and hugged her. “Wifey, did I wake you up?”
However, Sherly only felt as though she smelled a woman’s scent on his body. She then pushed him away forcefully. “Get lost. I’m disgusted by the woman’s scent on your body.”
Titus was puzzled. Nevertheless, he lowered his head and sniffed at himself. “No. This is my scent, isn’t it?”
“Stop arguing. I can smell it.” Sheryl kept an impassive face.
Titus felt aggrieved for being wronged. He immediately took off his suit and threw it at her. ” Smell it properly. Where’s the woman’s scent?
Something must be wrong with your nose.”
Those photos flashed across Sheryl’s mind once again. She could not help but sweep the suit to the floor. ” Let me ask you. Where did you go today? “
“The Snow family invited me to their banquet. I discussed something with Nathan and asked him to let the Zeller family off the hook.”
“Really?” Sheryl scoffed. With that, she was more convinced that he was lying. He was having a pleasant chat with Cate instead. “So have you discussed your plans to handle Shaun and Cate?”
“Nathan doesn’t want to have a hand in it, and the Lyons family has dirt on him. Given that it’s our personal vendetta, there’s no need to cause social unrest,” Titus said honestly. Besides, he had a favorable impression of Cate.
Sheryl snorted. “If that’s the case, when can I take revenge on behalf of my mom and Rosabella? If you can’t do it or you don’t feel like doing it, I’ll do it myself. There are still certain things I can handle without you.”
Titus found those words nasty. “Sherry, if you want to deal with Shaun and Cate quickly, all you can do is pressure Nathan. I know what methods you’re planning to solve it with. It’s going to cause global turmoil, and it’s really unnecessary to go to that extent.”
“I guess it’s because you don’t want to deal with them. Is it because you’ve met Cate? You can’t bear to do it to her, huh?” Sheryl suddenly teased him and said, “She looks very much like me when I was younger.”
Titus was shocked. Staring at the cold woman on the bed who refused to believe him, he suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity and disappointment. ” Sherry, what do you mean?”
“I’ve seen Cate’s looks.” Sheryl replied nonchalantly, ” Some nieces look similar to their aunts, and she does look quite like me. Perhaps you can’t bear to deal with her after meeting her. If you take her as my younger self, what’s going to happen to me? After all, I’m not as young as her.”
Titus finally grasped her point. However, he also lost his temper. “Sheryl, am I such a dirty man to you?” His eyes were filled with fury.
At the sight of his exasperated look, Sheryl felt aggrieved and heartbroken. As far as she could remember, Titus had never been so fierce to her. However, he was now furious with her because of Cate.
“Titus Costner, what a b*stard you are.” Sheryl lifted a pillow and hurled it at him. “Get out.”
Titus gnashed his teeth. Then, he bit the bullet and calmed her with a soft tone, “Sherry, it really saddens me that you perceive me this way. Don’t you know my feelings for you by now?”
Upon noticing that his tone had softened, Sheryl began to pull herself together. ” I won’t believe you unless you bring Cate here and let me teach her a lesson, or you send her to jail.”
Titus went quiet.
He knew the lesson that Sheryl wanted to teach Cate was certainly not a simple one.
He must have proof before sending Cate to jail. Otherwise, why did he need the Zeller family to oppress Shaun?
“Sherry, you’re not talking sense…”
“If you can’t do it, get out,” Sheryl roared in agitation when she caught him hesitating.
He never used to hesitate when she ordered him to do things back then. Yet this time, he actually hesitated.
