Right after Joey finished speaking, he saw Matthew take out a wad of cash from his pocket and put it on the table. “Tell me more and this money is yours.”
Joey was stunned. Only then did he realize that this man was not really here to renovate his house but to ask about the Cox family.
He would be a fool not to earn money.
“I want to hear the truth. Just tell me everything that you know. The money is all yours.” Matthew gestured with his chin.
Joey sighed in relief. Since he could get all the money, there was no need to make up extra stories.
“What do you want to know?”
“About the Cox family. Such as… Rosabella Cox, or Cate Cox. Do you know who Rosabella used to date?”
Joey paused. “Now that you mention it, I think I remember. The incident was quite humiliating.
Back then, Rosabella’s boyfriend was from the Lowe family. The Lowe family was pretty reputable, but on the day of the engagement, Cate made a fuss and said that the guy was actually her boyfriend and Rosabella snatched him away. The engagement party became a joke in the city.”
Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Was it true?”
” I think so. I wasn’t there, but I heard people talk about it. After that, Young Master Lowe was removed from his position in the company. Not long after, the Cox family took the initiative to break off the engagement with him and quickly distanced themselves from Young Master Lowe. It caused Young Master Lowe to curse Rosabella publicly on Facebook. Well, that’s the way it is. If I were Young Master Lowe, I would be unhappy too. When I had money and power, that family tried to cling to me. But after I fell from my position of power, they quickly distanced themselves from me.
There are many people like that, but it’s still better to stay away from that kind of woman.”
Matthew’s face darkened. In other words, Rosabella was someone who relied on powerful people to climb up the social ladder.
“What else? Did Rosabella date anyone else later? “
Joey’s eyeballs shifted about as he said in a low voice, ” I’m not too sure, but previously when I was renovating a villa, I overheard a few people who were talking over drinks. I seemed to vaguely hear that Rosabella dated the young master of the Campbell family. However, a powerful person from Canberra appeared and Young Master Campbell ditched his girlfriend for that person. Hehe, one was willing to let his girlfriend accompany another man, and the other was happy to accompany the other man too. Apparently, there were many people who saw the video. They all said that Rosabella is a little sl*t.”
Matthew crushed the paper cup in his hand, revealing his bulging blue veins.
Joey was frightened by his appearance. “These are all the things I heard. I don’t know if they’re true or not.”
“What about Cate Cox?” Matthew asked. “Cate? She used to be the chief designer of Summit but then she left. Have you seen that landmark, Culture and Technology Center? In order to get that project, the construction companies in Melbourne competed tooth and nail for it.
Cate was exposed for plagiarizing Summit’s designer at the bidding site.
“Later, Cate suffered a torrent of abuse and even came to our company to apply for a job, but our boss didn’t dare to take her in. He said that the Cox family had given orders saying that anyone who dared to accept her would be going against the Cox family. Summit was still quite powerful at that time.”
“Did she really plagiarize?” Matthew could not help but ask.
“I don’t know.”
Joey lamented, “In any case, Cate went to Talton Design and became quite a famous designer there. However, she later left Melbourne. I’ve seen her designs, and they’re really quite good. Oh, by the way, she’s quite famous now. Everyone knows who she is. She’s Shaun Lyons’s ex-wife, and she’s also the most famous architect in the country.
Could an incompetent person plagiarize their way to the top? Foreigners aren’t fools either.”
“Okay, this money is yours.” Matthew nodded and got up to leave.
It was not until he got out of the building that he asked the assistant beside him, “You asked about Rosabella and Cate’s information here before. Why was the information you retrieved different from what Joey just said?”
The assistant hurriedly explained, “I only asked the people around the old Cox residence. What they said matched what Ms. Rosabella said. Ms. Rosabella said that her reputation in Melbourne is bad because of what Cate did, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad…”
Matthew also did not expect it to be this bad.
Previously, he empathized with Rosabella and thought that she was the victim.
However, it was a fact that Summit closed down. Jeffery said that Cate harmed Summit’s reputation which caused it to close down, but others in the industry said that it was because Summit cut corners.
Not only that, but Rosabella also stole Cate’s boyfriend.
Then, after the fiance’s fall from grace, the Cox family hurriedly distanced themselves from him and broke off the engagement.
After that, Rosabella had another boyfriend but slept with a young master who came from the capital.
Rosabella did that?
For some reason, Mathew suddenly found it odd when he thought about Rosabella.
His assistant said, “Why don’t we look for Rosabella’s ex-fiance?”
“Cate told me to ask Rosabella’s ex-boyfriends too. What if she did something behind the scenes?” Matthew had his suspicions.
“You don’t have to go to the person himself. You can just ask the people in his company. There should be someone who knows about it.”
Matthew nodded. “Go and find out who that Lowe guy is. We’ll go in the afternoon.”
He sat in a cafe for a while, and it did not take long for his assistant to find something out. “Rosabella’s e x-fiance was Nathan Lowe, the eldest son of the Lowe family. Chairman Lowe has two sons and another young son that was born out of wedlock. Lowe Corporation was passed on to his youngest son. As for Nathan… he died in a car accident not long ago.”
“He died?” Matthew was slightly stunned. “Okay. Let’s go to the Lowe family.”
“We’re not familiar with the Lowe family. They won’t let us in,” the assistant muttered, “And it’s impossible for a small company like Lowe Corporation to know of the Costner family’s reputation.”
” I’m not trying to meet the direct members of the family. I can just meet those who cleaned and cooked for the family.”
The assistant nodded.
More than 40 minutes later, the two of them appeared near the Lowe family’s villa.
Matthew waited in the car for half an hour before his assistant brought a woman in her 50s over.
However, the woman was suspicious and refused to get in the car.
Matthew opened the door and stepped out. When the woman saw his handsome face and how well- dressed he was, her vigilance reduced.
“Young Master, this is the lady who cooks for the Lowe family.” His assistant introduced her. ” I saw her go out to buy groceries, so I called her over. She has been working for the Lowe family for five years.”
“Aunty, don’t worry. I just want to ask about Nathan Lowe.” Matthew handed her a wad of cash.
“Why are you asking about him?” The woman breathed a sigh. “Eldest Young Master Lowe passed away a long time ago.”
“I know. I heard that he had a fiancee called Rosabella Cox…”
“Oh, her.” The woman’s expression was disdainful. “Yes, back then, she always came to the Lowe family. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was interested in the eldest young master, but Old Master Lowe and Old Madam Lowe didn’t like her. After all, she was trafficked to the countryside before. How could her upbringing and temperament compare to Cate?”
“Cate?” Matthew became interested. “I heard that she dated Nathan before. Is that true?”
The woman pursed her lips, not quite willing to say anything about it. “Why are you asking about all of this? Eldest Young Master is no longer here.”
“I just want to understand what the Cox sisters are like. I have no other intention.” Matthew expressed his intention frankly.
“I see.” The woman nodded. “I didn’t want to talk about it because these matters aren’t actually honorable to the young master. He’s already dead, so there’s no need to mention it. But since you want to know about the Cox family, I can tell you about them. The eldest young master was childhood sweethearts with Cate and they got along quite well. When I cooked for the Lowe family, I often heard the old master talk about their marriage. Everyone was very happy about their marriage, but everything changed after Rosabella appeared.
“For some reason, Young Master Nathan started dating Rosabella and I often heard the Lowe family badmouthing Cate during mealtimes. They would talk about how bad she is and how she had changed, but I think it was all fake.”
Matthew’s heart thumped. “Why do you say that?”
“I once heard Madam Lowe tell Young Master Nathan that the heir of the Cox family was Rosabella, so there was no benefit in him marrying Cate. Rosabella also just so happened to like him, so it was better for him to marry Rosabella.”
“Then why didn’t they end up marrying?” Matthew asked deliberately.
“Sigh, it’s because Young Master Nathan seemed to have offended his uncle. His uncle is quite powerful. He’s the chairman of a listed company. After the falling out, Old Master Lowe passed the succession to Second Young Master. When the Cox family saw that Eldest Young Master had no more potential, they proposed to break off the engagement. It was fine if they just broke it off, but they wanted to keep their reputation and deliberately let the media take photos of Eldest Young Master meeting privately with Cate, making it seem like the engagement was canceled because Eldest Young Master had an affair.”
At this point, the aunty sneered disdainfully. “The Cox family aren’t good people. They deserved to go to jail. After all, they even pushed down their mother for the sake of money.”
“That really happened?” Matthew asked in shock.
“The court already ruled that the evidence was conclusive. How can it be false? Besides, Old Madam Cox had been living with her son and daughter-in-law since she fell ill. Who else could have done it?”
“Thank you, Aunty. There’s one last thing I want to ask. Have you met Cate before? What do you think of her?”
“She’s a pretty girl. Every time she came to the Lowe family, she would only say sweet things and she never put on airs.” The aunty smiled.
