Titus pursed his thin lips grimly before turning around and walking out of the room.
In the dark, Sheryl could not resist tossing and pulling her blanket.
She had no idea what was wrong with herself either. Perhaps it was her insecurities about her marriage that contributed to it.
The next day.
When Matthew stretched his body and walked out, he suddenly saw his father coming out of the study.
He widened his eyes and swiftly approached him. ” Dad, did Mom kick you out of the room?”
Sheryl used to do that to him, but it was always with reason. However, this time, it was different.
Annoyed, Titus criticized in a low voice, ” I have no idea what’s on your mom’s mind. She actually suspects that I’m interested in Cate.”
“What?” Matthew froze.
He could not understand his mother either. Was she not aware of Titus’s feelings for her? Titus was almost her slave.
During breakfast, the usually warm atmosphere felt as though the air conditioner was switched on.
Sheryl suddenly said, “After sleeping on it, I’ve decided that the two of you shouldn’t get involved in our Cox family’s personal vendetta.”
Matthew choked on his egg. “Mom, what are you planning to do?”
“Mom, what happened between you and Uncle Titus?” Rosabella also had a confused look on her face when, in fact, she was secretly pleased. She did not expect her plan to work out so soon.
Thanks to the drug, Sheryl had become temperamental. Otherwise, the sensible Sheryl would not have gotten cheated so easily.
“This is the adults’ matter. You guys shouldn’t bother with it.”
At that, Sheryl put down her cutleries and walked away.
Matthew discreetly shifted his gaze to his father. Titus rubbed his brows before turning around and saying to Matthew, “Have someone keep an eye on Cate in case something happens to her.”
“Dad…” Matthew was slightly surprised. ” Previously, didn’t you…”
“I objected to it previously. But after talking to her a few times, I’ve somewhat understood your viewpoint.” Titus said, “What’s more, through this incident, I’ve realized that Shaun isn’t that simple. If something happens to Cate before we deal with him, he’ll drag us down and make us suffer together. By then, we might not be able to leave Australia safely, considering that most of our people aren’t here.”
“Dad, you’re brilliant.” Matthew raised his thumb.
Little did Cate know that she was already in someone’s crosshairs.
Ever since Hudson Corporation was transferred to Mireya, Cate did not have to go to the office. So, every day, she would come up with some architectural sketches and keep her two kids company at home.
Sometimes, she would watch the news. Lyons Corporation had been low-profiled recently. On the contrary, Golden Corporation suddenly came into prominence by setting up three branches and taking on 80 percent of the production of local vaccines.
Within a week, Golden Corporation had become one of the top five enterprises in Australia.
Wesley was now at the height of his career.
Who would have expected that the then infamous Wesley would be able to turn things around so rapidly?
Cate understood that the moment Wesley began to take revenge on her would signify the end of Shaun and her peaceful life.
At this thought, she strongly yearned for the peaceful life she was currently having with Shaun. Shaun happened to be too busy to come back for lunch again, so Cate prepared two more dishes and brought them to him straight away.
She went all the way to the top floor, only to find that Shaun had gone down for a meeting. After she sat in his office waiting for half an hour, he returned at last.
“Cate, what brings you here?” A look of delight washed over Shaun’s face.
“I came to make a spot check. I want to check if you’re keeping a mistress here. ” Cate joked with a grin.
“I do keep one here, and here she is.” Shaun hugged her and gave her a kiss.
Cate instantly turned shy and pushed him away. “Please. Aren’t you afraid that the tigress in your house finds out about it?”
“Is the tigress as fierce as you?” Shaun pinched her face. “The tigress is fierce in bed and out of bed. “
“What a pervert.” Cate rolled her eyes at him before she passed him a lunchbox. “Here’s your lunch.”
“Thanks, my wife. Let’s eat together.” Just as Shaun opened the lunchbox, he suddenly heard a security guard’s voice outside.
“Stop there. You guys can’t enter. This is the chairman’s office.”
“Get lost. It’s up to us to enter as we please.”
After the pompous shout, the half—closed office door was kicked open.
Two Black bodyguards, who looked sturdily built and threatening, first came in and stood at the door. After that, Rosabella strutted into the office in a red skirt. She was also wearing a pair of sunglasses, a hat while holding a purse.
Behind Rosabella was a middle-aged male foreigner. He was wearing a black suit, oozing an aura akin to that of a Wall Street business elite.
“Rosabella Cox, are you out of your mind? What gives you the right to enter this place as you please?” Cate immediately got up from Shaun’s lap.
Looking at Rosabella’s dramatic entrance, Cate had a sinking feeling.
Shaun’s thoughts were similar to hers, but he looked much graver and calmer. His eyes swept over the foreigner behind Rosabella whom he found familiar.
With his good memory, Shaun instantly recalled who the foreigner was. A hint of surprise flashed across his dark gaze.
“Apparently, you came prepared.” Shaun knitted his brows together, his eyes darkening.
“It seems that you recognize me, Chairman Lyons.” The middle -aged man said with a smile, “Let me officially introduce myself once again. I’m Julian Grayson.”
Rosabella smiled smugly at the sight of Shaun’s sullen expression. “Cate Cox, you’re such a dumb*ss. Let me introduce him to you. He’s Julian Grayson, the top merger and acquisitions specialist in the world. With the help of Mr. Grayson’s team, we’ve acquired 5o percent of Lyons Corporation’s shares.”
Cate’s head buzzed. As she was not familiar with finance-related matters, she was slightly confused after hearing it. “This is impossible. How could the shareholders of Lyons Corporation have given you their shares?”
Moreover, it was extremely unlikely that Shaun had not received any news about such a serious issue.
“It’s because they acquired it with evil intentions. “
Shaun put his hand on Cate’s shoulder heavily. Seemingly, he was trying hard to fight back the rage inside him.
Cate turned around and realized that Shaun’s expression was still calm. However, there was a surge of bottomless grimness in the depths of his eyes.
All of a sudden, she took pity on Shaun as he had put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into Lyons Corporation. To the Lyonss, the company was their everything. He had taken great pains to overcome the obstacle when the company was under investigation, only to discover that Rosabella now owned half of Lyons Corporation.
“You don’t have to know how I acquired Lyons Corporation. Anyway, I’m now on an equal footing with you in the company. In this case, why can’t I come to your office? I can even…”
Rosabella strutted toward the desk and pressed her hands on it. “I can even demand this office.”
“You b*tch.” Unable to tolerate Rosabella’s behavior, Cate lifted her hand to slap Rosabella.
Nevertheless, the bodyguard behind Rosabella was quicker in grabbing hold of Cate’s hand.
As much as Cate wanted to escape his grasp, she noticed that the bodyguard was much stronger than her.
This realization began to fill her with fear. To her, she was considered very skillful.
Where on earth did Rosabella meet such a person?
“Let go of her.” Shaun punched the Black bodyguard.
The bodyguard could not be bothered about Shaun either until his nose began to bleed. That was when he furiously called out to another colleague to attack Shaun together.
They got into a fight in the office in a flash. With that, Hadley dashed in with his bodyguard.
As Rosabella was happily watching the scene, her head suddenly hurt. Cate had pulled her and stretched out her hand to slap her.
“Cate Cox, I definitely will not let you off the hook.” Rosabella yelled hysterically, “Quickly, save m e and kill her.”
