Cate’s heart shook fiercely. ” If you put it that way, it really seems possible. He’s too shrewd and good at hiding his true colors, after all.”
Shaun nodded. “With how sinister he is, he probably thought that after he married you and got Sheryl to acknowledge you, he would be able to gain Titus and Sheryl’s trust. Then, he’d borrow their power to slowly become the richest man in the world. When Sheryl and her husband become useless to him after that, he can dispose of you all.”
Cate became more horrified the more she listened. “I remember that Wesley often cooperated with the assassins in Neah Bay. Logan said that a person here once went to Neah Bay and came back with a bunch of assassins. Could that person… be Wesley?”
“It was definitely him. Back then, Wesley was already working with Mason, and Mason told him to go to Neah Bay to look for the assassins. If he saw Sheryl there, then all the pieces connect. Besides, Sheryl looks very similar to you. Even my dad said that when he saw your mother and then you, he was confused and suspected that you were mother and daughter.”
Shaun said, “Mason could have investigated it and found that your mother only went missing after getting caught in a typhoon. If he went to Neah Bay to ask the local residents about Sheryl’s past, it would’ve been easy to find clues.”
Cate opened her mouth with difficulty. ” If I hadn’t found out that something was off with him, he probably would’ve kept pretending.”
“Maybe not. Maybe he wouldn’t want to keep enduring and would slowly expose his nature to you.” Shaun wrapped his arms around her waist. ” Because he found another way to get back at you while also letting his career continue to rise.”
Cate’s gaze darkened. “You mean… Rosabella?”
Shaun lowered his head. His large palm gently weaved through her long hair, and two strands of inky black hair fell into his palm. “A woman’s hair falls easily. When you stayed in Wesley’s villa, wouldn’t you have shed strands of hair there? You stayed with him for a period of time, and cleaners came in daily to clean the place up. Wouldn’t it be easy for Rosabella to use your hair for the DNA test if your hair was collected and sent to her?”
Cate was shocked. She bowed her head and looked at the hair in Shaun’s palm.
Yes, although her hair was thick, her hair would inevitably fall when she washed, combed, and blow- dried her hair.
In the past, she always thought that Wesley wanted to marry her because he wanted to get back at her and torture her.
The closer she got to the truth, the more she felt her hair stand on end.
How could a person be so terrifying?
“I think that what you said is probably true.”
Cate murmured, “When Wesley married me in the beginning, he acted like he had deep feelings for me. Afterward, his hatred for me became more and more obvious. It was probably because he already had a feeling that I would never like him, so he might as well let Rosabella impersonate me.
Rosabella and I are cousins and we look slightly similar. Furthermore, she was abducted as a child and many people in Melbourne don’t really know her, so they had room to pull off some tricks.”
“That’s right.” Shaun nodded. “Rosabella used Wesley and made her into Sheryl’s biological daughter. That’s why Wesley’s career soared after Rosabella came back. The two of them are tied to the same boat.”
Cate felt increasingly upset and unreconciled as she listened. ” It’s all my fault. How could I have been stupid enough to marry Wesley back then?”
“Everyone has moments when they’re confused. Don’t blame yourself, ” Shaun comforted her softly.
Cate smiled bitterly. “So what if we know the truth now? Matthew didn’t believe me when I told him that Rosabella is a fake, and Sheryl thinks I’m a vixen who seduced Titus. She was probably brainwashed by Rosabella. She doesn’t like me at all, and she even thinks of me as a vicious woman who hurt Rosabella.”
“I’m actually worried that it’s more than that…”
Shaun’s handsome face was dark. “Do you remember when Rosabella came to me disguised as Shelley Neeson and secretly drugged my milk?”
Cate was shocked. “You think she gave it to my mom?”
“It’s just a possibility.” Shaun expressed his concern. “The drug can cause people to become irrational. Think about it. Since your mother gave birth to you, she should know that your name is Cate. How could she have completely forgotten about that?”
“You’re right. She lost her memory.” Cate finally understood. She had ignored many details because she was upset at being hit by Sheryl.
“Yes, people with amnesia are like blank sheets of paper. Rosabella can manipulate her memories as she wishes. Even Jeffery and Sally can discredit you.
Jeffery is Sheryl’s brother. Since she lost so many years’ worth of her memories, Sheryl must have been very happy to suddenly find her older brother. She probably wouldn’t think that these relatives of hers are actually vicious people.”
Cate’s eyes dimmed. Suddenly, she hated Sheryl. “Then why are you worried that Rosabella drugged my mom?”
“It’s very simple. Rosabella did the same thing before. If she’s no longer able to control or sway Sheryl, it’s not impossible that she’ll drug Sheryl in order to maintain her wealth and rank.”
Shaun sighed. “Outsiders can see things more clearly than those involved. Sheryl finally found her daughter who was missing for many years. This is the time when she’ll treasure her daughter the most. It’s clear from the way Sheryl gave Rosabella so much money to buy Lyons Corporation. If we want to find a solution to this matter, we have to start with Titus and Matthew. You’ve dealt with Titus before. What kind of person do you think he is?”
Cate thought about it. “Unfathomable.”
“That’s good. A person like that won’t be easily deceived by Rosabella. He’s not related to Rosabella by blood, so he can think about this matter rationally. I hope that what you said can make Matthew conduct a deeper investigation into things. The things that Rosabella did all those years ago can’t remain hidden if he investigates.”
Cate felt comforted and breathed out a sigh of relief.
Shaun hugged her and suddenly received a call from Hadley. “Eldest Young Master, the Costner family’s bodyguards have all been admitted to Jewell Hospital. I heard that it was Michael Jewell who arranged it.”
Shaun frowned and quickly called Chester. “The injured bodyguards from the Costner family have been admitted into your hospital. Did Titus Costner contact your dad?”
” I just finished an operation so I’m not sure about this. I’ll go find out.”
Chester’s face was cold, and he immediately called Michael. “Dad, why did you accept those bodyguards?”
“You little brat. You still have the nerve to mention this?”
Michael scolded him, “What’s the status of the Costner family? How many people around the world want to build relations with them? But what did you do? You offended the Costner family instead.
Fortunately, I found out about this and the Costner family isn’t angry. They even intend to be friends with us. We’ve already agreed on a time. Tomorrow night, you’ll come to dinner with us and personally apologize to the Costner family.”
“I just want to know who told you about this,” Chester asked expressionlessly.
“I’m your father. Of course, I’m well-informed…” “It was Cindy, wasn’t it?” Chester asked icily.
Cindy and Rosabella were good friends. When the Jewell family’s hospital refused to take in the bodyguards, Rosabella would definitely have contacted Cindy. It was Cindy who approached his father. Everything made sense.
Michael choked and snapped coldly, “Cindy did the right thing. She’s doing this for the good of our family. Do you know how big the Costner family is? All the banks in the world and the important shipping routes are in that family’s control. Compared to them, the Jewell family is as small as a fly. Why are you interfering in the feud between Shaun and the Costner family? Shaun isn’t even your real brother. He’s just your friend. Besides, more than half of Lyons Corporation was bought over. His status in Canberra isn’t what it used to be. He no longer has the qualifications to be your friend.” “Dad, you don’t need to care about who I’m friends with. As for the hospital, I’ll tell them that from now on, no one can disobey my orders. You can go and befriend the Costner family if you want to, but I’m not interested in them.
Chester hung up after he spoke.
He did not care how angry Michael would be.
After hanging up the phone, he called another number. “Bring Cindy to my villa in an hour.”
“Yes.”
However, the person soon called him back. “Young Master Jewell, Cindy is with the madam.”
Chester laughed at that.
On the other end, the subordinate had goosebumps from hearing his laugh. Every time Chester was truly angry, he would laugh like this.
It was so low and cold that it caused people to shudder.
“Stop all the projects Cindy is involved in. I remember that Cindy signed a contract with Felix Media. If she wants to bypass Felix and cooperate with big foreign productions, it’s considered a breach of contract as long as Felix Media doesn’t agree to it. She can dream on if she wants to cooperate with anyone.”
The subordinate immediately understood.
This time, Cindy had truly pissed Young Master Jewell off. If he wanted to completely put a halt to Cindy’s career, it did not matter even if she had other contacts and could work in Hollywood. As long as Cindy’s contract was in the hands of Felix Media, anyone who tried to cooperate with Cindy would encounter all sorts of problems. In that case, no film or television company would consider Cindy anymore.”
“Oh, one more thing.”
After a pause, Chester said, “Send the order that next time, all staff should ignore my father or mother even if they personally call any of the subsidiary companies. As for the person in the hospital who agreed to my father’s request to accept the Costner family’s bodyguards, find out who it is and fire them. I don’t want to see that person ever again.”
“Yes.”
The subordinate understood that Chester was making a deliberate show of his power as well as sending a message to the people in Jewell Corporation.
No one in the Jewell family was allowed to disobey his orders, and Michael was no exception.
He could not help but secretly sigh.
Under Chester’s leadership, the Jewell family had expanded their business in a low-profile manner.
Chester was not high-profile like Shaun, but the Jewell family had never been inferior to the Lyons family.
It was because Chester was ruthless enough that he did not bother sparing even his own father.
In the Jewell residence.
Cindy walked with Mrs. Jewell in the garden.
