Every time I think that I’m about to win, she’s somehow able to turn the tides. In any case, she made the lives of me and my friends quite miserable. I never even expected to beat her, so I thought that I would take her down with me.”
Titus looked at her deeply and could tell that Rosabella had truly pushed her to the edge. Of course, part of the reason was because of Sheryl and his involvement too.
“I checked Rosabella’s body. She was pushed off the building. That day, besides the butler and the servants, only the security guards were in the villa.”
Cate paused and thought for a few seconds before saying, “It’s probably one of the guards who did it. If the butler or servants had tried to push her down, it would definitely attract the attention of the guards. It has to be one of the guards.”
“We have the same thoughts.”
Titus revealed an expression of approval. “I’ve already informed Prime Minister Snow about this matter. He was also very surprised and has started secretly investigating it.”
Cate nodded. “Uncle Nathan just became the prime minister, so he might not have settled the former cabinet from Prime Minister Zeller’s time. The government dignitaries on Uncle Nathan’s side are also rising. Some people may start to become disloyal after rising in status.”
“You’re very smart.” Titus raised his eyebrows. He was more and more certain that Cate was Sheryl’s daughter. Sheryl also used to be this calm and wise. Unfortunately…
“Actually, there’s one person I’m suspicious of,” Cate said, “Gavin Mead. He was previously Senator Mead and is now currently Minister Mead. He’s very close to Wesley now. Wesley was probably afraid that Rosabella would rat him out, so he asked the Mead family to silence her.”
“As far as I know, that person is Nathan Snow’s left and right hand.” Titus’ eyes flickered. “It seems Wesley is only familiar with him because of the bridge built by Rosabella. They haven’t known each other for long.”
“You don’t understand Wesley. He’s very shrewd and much more powerful than Rosabella. I think that Rosabella was just a pawn for him to use. Now, Golden Corporation is expanding rapidly and can’t be compared to how it was before. Wesley has taken over the medical industry in Country Y. Gavin Mead looked down on Wesley before this because he was not qualified, but it’s different now. Everyone wants to earn money and get more benefits. To put it bluntly, a businessman and politician share very complementary relationships.”
Cate smiled. “I’ve been to the Meads’ residence before and met his daughter a few times before. His daughter is quite arrogant and even looked down on Nathan’s goddaughter. You can tell the character of someone by how they’ve raised their children. I think Minister Mead must’ve become more ambitious after rising in position.
People are like that. The more they own, the more they want.
“What you said is quite interesting.”
Titus expressed his approval. “If it’s really him, then it’ll be troublesome. I don’t think Nathan will be willing to have a fallout with Gavin.”
“Yes. He just rose to his position. If he cuts off his right-hand man, Gavin Mead, it’ll be detrimental to him. Although Uncle Nathan usually treats us well, that’s only on the premise that it doesn’t affect his position.” Cate was very self-aware. “He’ll probably try to act as a peacemaker in this matter.”
“Cate, what are you talking about? You’re making my head spin.” Shaun, who was squeezed between the two, suddenly pouted and complained.
“Sorry, Shaunny. Uncle Titus and I will finish talking soon.” Cate comforted him warmly and said to Titus, “Thank you for bringing me this news today. If there’s nothing else, I’ll…”
“I brought Sheryl to the hospital for a check—up yesterday. Your suspicions were right. Rosabella had drugged her meals,” Titus interrupted her and said.
Cate’s gentle face stiffened bit by bit.
After Suzie’s kidnapping, she had lost all affection she had for Sheryl and even hated her.
However, she was still surprised to hear that Rosabella had drugged Sheryl’s meals.
She only brought it up before because Shaun had reminded her, but she was not sure that Rosabella would do something like that to Sheryl.
Titus looked at her and said in a heavy voice, “The doctor said that they found traces of an illegal drug in her bloodstream, which is usually taken by patients after surgery or patients suffering from mental illness. If she takes it for a long time, she’ll suffer from insomnia, mental decline, mood swings, emotional restlessness, and even hallucinations. She’ll be addicted too. I’ve put her in the hospital for now.”
Cate was stunned. She pursed her lips and rubbed Shaun’s head. “When Rosabella was by Shaun’s side as his caretaker before this, she had also used a similar drug, but he was suffering from mental illness back then. Later on, his condition grew more serious and he forgot many things. He even became paranoid and got hallucinations.”
“Then? Was he cured?” Titus asked eagerly.
“He was cured by a famous psychiatrist abroad. That person is Sarah Neeson. She’s indeed capable, but Sarah is his ex-girlfriend. She’s a scheming woman. Not only did she tamper with his memory, but she also left him with a huge after-effect that caused him to become like how he is now.” Cate’s eyes became filled with hatred when she mentioned this.
Titus was silent for a while. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, “You have a lot of enemies.”
“What I mean is that Sarah is really famous in the field of psychology. But if someone recommends her to you, don’t look for her. I think she’s already working with Wesley.” Cate reminded him.
“Okay. I know better psychologists anyway, ” Titus said faintly, “But Sheryl doesn’t have an illness.
She only became like this because of the drug. Unfortunately, Rosabella’s death has made it impossible for us to find out what drug she gave Sheryl. The doctor said that she can be treated sooner if they know what drug she ingested.”
Cate hummed and said nothing in response. Her expression was indifferent. It put an end to the topic of Sheryl.
Titus was a little conflicted. Sheryl did feel guilty toward this child, but unfortunately, fate got in the way and Rosabella took advantage of it.
Now, her real daughter bore a grudge against her.
“Do you hate Sheryl? Actually, you haven’t been in contact with her much. Her real character isn’t anything like how she’s been behaving recently.
She was like you when she was young—smart, wise, and calm. That’s why I fell in love with her.
There were women who pursued me before, but she never hit or scolded them. She always had a way to make them back off.”
Titus said with a complicated expression, ” She’s not a vicious person. She was instigated by Rosabella and was convinced by her because the drug affected her brain.”
“Uncle Titus, is she really smart, wise, and calm? Sorry, but I don’t think so. She couldn’t even notice that the woman beside her had ulterior motives. If a stupid person fell into a trap, I wouldn’t say anything. But she was used by others like a tool.
She ruined a person’s life and she almost killed a child. I can’t forgive such a person.”
Cate’s beautiful and delicate face was very cold. “She crossed the line when she kidnapped Suzie.”
Her words were very unpleasant to hear but Titus did not get angry. “How do you know that she didn’t realize Rosabella’s intentions? I believe that she did. However, she had just acknowledged Rosabella as her daughter, so she couldn’t try to correct Rosabella’s problems from the start. Many things have to be done step by step. Besides, she really did feel indebted to her daughter. Back then when she was rescued at sea, she had lost her memories but still tried to find her family. She searched all over the world for years but didn’t find any news.
“Then, Matthew appeared with Rosabella and said that they looked alike. A DNA test was also done, which said they were a perfect match. Rosabella talked about Sheryl’s history and knew about her past, family, and siblings. When we investigated, we found that she was indeed Sheryl Cox. After coming back to Australia, Sheryl’s brother and sister-in-law also appeared. Everyone said that Rosabella was her daughter.”
“Even when Sheryl noticed that Rosabella’s behavior was inappropriate, Rosabella would always bring up that she was abducted as a child. As a mother, Sheryl naturally blamed herself. She thought that if she had been around, her daughter wouldn’t have suffered so much. If she had the chance to educate her daughter, her daughter wouldn’t have become vain and pretentious.”
Cate choked for a moment.
Her heart was subconsciously stirred up.
“You’re a mother yourself, so you should be able to understand her feelings.” Each of Titus’ words seemed to pierce her heart. “Will a mother who loves her children regard them with disdain? She won’t. If her child turns out bad, she’ll only blame herself.”
“But she shouldn’t have indulged Rosabella without limits, ” Cate said.
“Do you think she was clear-headed when she indulged Rosabella?” Titus asked.
Cate was immediately at a loss for words.
Titus looked at her distracted expression and sighed in his heart. “Actually, I’ve thought about it. When Sheryl just arrived in Melbourne, she told me that memories were flashing in her head. However, she stopped experiencing that afterward. Rosabella probably began to drug her because she was afraid of Sheryl regaining her memory. As her husband, I was careless as well.”
“If she had regained her memory, she would know that the name she gave to her daughter was Cate, not Rosabella. Hah.” Cate smiled in irony.
Titus looked at her silently.
“Forget it. You don’t believe that I’m her daughter anyway.” Cate opened the door and prepared to leave.
“I believe it now. Jeffery and his wife are very problematic. We were all tricked by them.
Unfortunately, all my men are injured now. Otherwise, I’d definitely deal with them, ” Titus said with an expression as cold as ice.
“Rosabella is their daughter. Before this, their family wanted to swallow up Hudson Corporation but my grandmother didn’t let them because she knew Hudson was something my mother left for me. Hence, they killed my grandmother. It wasn’t easy for me to get Hudson Corporation back.”
Cate looked back at him. “Uncle Titus, I advise you to take her and leave Australia soon.”
Then, she held Shaun’s hand and left.
She had been enduring it, but after remembering what Titus said, her eyes could not help but redden.
Sheryl loved her daughter, but she gave that love to Rosabella and harmed Cate instead.
“Cate, why are you crying?”
Shaun’s bewildered voice suddenly sounded by her ear. “Did that bad uncle make you angry? I’ll go beat him up.”
“Don’t.”
Cate hurriedly grabbed Shaun’s wrist. Her voice was hoarse and enough to make anyone’s heart melt. “He didn’t. You were there too. Did you see him bully me?”
Shaun felt distressed.
Just now, he only heard Cate say many things to that uncle but he did not understand what they were talking about.
