The police officer’s eyes became hostile when he looked at Jeffery.
“I didn’t.” Jeffery denied it anxiously. “Someone framed me.”
“Fine, keep on saying that. Anyway, that case was settled three years ago. I have no idea how Rosabella got both of you out. It doesn’t matter as long as you both have a clear conscience.” A forced smile flashed across Cate’s face.
“Enough.” The police officer pulled a long face, refusing to listen anymore. “I’ll investigate the incident that took place at the parlor, but I might not be able to track down the mastermind behind it.”
The police officer’s indifference made Sally’s blood boil. “As a police officer, you’re responsible for the investigation. What do you mean you might not be able to track down the mastermind? You have to find out who did it. We can’t be injured for nothing.”
“We’re police officers, but it doesn’t mean we can solve every case. We have hundreds of old cases piling up in the police station every year.” The police officer left once he was done speaking.
Facing a woman who could bring herself to kill her mother-in-law, he was sorely tempted to slap her.
“Stop right there…” Seeing the police leave just like that, Sally furiously grabbed the cup on the table to hurl it at Cate. “Brute… Ouch, it hurts… It hurts.”
Soon after she hurled the cup, her waist hurt so badly that she fell onto the bed.
“What are you doing?” Upon noticing that the cup almost hit Cate, Shaun went in front of Cate in exasperation and glowered at that damn woman.
He was tall and sturdy. When he lost his temper, there was a brooding look in his eyes.
Sally was so frightened that her heart clenched. ” What… What are you planning to do? There are surveillance cameras in the hospital!”
“Mom, I’m not planning to do anything to you. ” Cate held Shaun’s hand. With a smile, she said, “Don’t worry, if I receive any news from the police, I’ll inform both of you right away.”
“Don’t trouble yourself. I’ll handle their affairs.”
A familiar, gentle voice rang behind Cate all of a sudden.
However, the voice made Cate’s blood curdle a s though a snake was gliding across her body.
She turned around, only to meet Wesley’s smiling eyes.
“Wifey, you’re here to visit Dad and Mom as well.”
Cate shuddered and had goosebumps.
Shaun knitted his dark eyebrows at the man in front of him who was slightly shorter than him. The man was dressed in a black suit and was quite good- looking. However, he subconsciously disliked him.
Shaun found the man particularly loathsome especially when he addressed Cate as ¡®Wifey’.
“Cate, who is he?” Shaun asked in a childish manner while tugging on Cate’s hand.
After Wesley glanced at Shaun’s childish eyes, his elegant face flashed with disdain. “I’m her husband.”
Shaun blinked his eyes. “What’s a husband?”
Wesley cackled, and he was clearly taunting Shaun with his gaze. “I heard that you’ve become a fool. Now that I’ve seen you, I’m convinced.”
“Who’s become a fool? You’re the fool. ” No matter how stupid Shaun was, he knew that Wesley’s remark was awful, so he jeered at him furiously. ” You ugly man.”
After pausing for a moment, he recalled the sentence that he heard on TV this afternoon. He added, “Ugly people always trouble others.”
“Haha.”
Cate could not suppress her laughter. She was disgusted by Wesley’s words at first, but now, the feeling had mostly vanished thanks to Shaun.
” Shaunny, he’s not only ugly but also wicked. He always tries to snatch other people’s things by using devious means. He works hard, but it’s only because he wants to please big shots and plot against others. He has evil intentions.”
Cate held Shaun’s arm while ridiculing Wesley.
Shaun nodded seriously. “I know. He’s a bad guy, right?”
Wesley’s expression turned grim. However, at the sight of Shaun’s silly look, he scoffed. “Cate, are you really planning to take care of this person forever? I wonder if he takes you for his mom or aunt?”
“Whatever he takes me for, I still find it better than being with you. Wesley Sanderson, you can go on behaving haughtily, but let me remind you that you’re taking your life in your hands now. Don’t think that you can do as you please just because you have Gavin defending you. Your deeds will be exposed sooner or later.”
Cate glanced sideways at Jeffery and Sally, who were behind her. “Also, you were the one who killed Rosabella, right? But you probably told them something to tear us apart and make them assume that I did it. When Rosabella’s shares in Lyons Corporation are transferred to them, you’ll get to control them and Lyons Corporation will end up belonging to you. What a brilliant plan you have.”
“Rosabella has always been with Titus. With the executive council keeping an eye on her, how could I have possibly killed her?” Wesley expressed a righteous look. “But as for you, Mireya is your friend and you’re quite close to Rodney. Killing Rosabella would be as easy as squashing an insect for you.
You’ve long hated her and hoped for her to die. Now that Rosabella is dead, I believe you’re going to deal with Jeffery and Sally next. You were the one who instructed those thugs to cause trouble in the funeral parlor, right?”
His words made Jeffery and Sally’s blood curdle.
“President Sanderson, you need to save us. Get someone to protect us. I’m sure she wants to kill us,” Sally said imploringly.
“Don’t worry. As your son-in-law, I’ll definitely save you both.” Wesley clapped his hands.
Subsequently, a group of people appeared at the door of the ward. ” I’ve chosen these bodyguards carefully. With them around, no one can approach you both.”
“Thank you.” Jeffery nodded before glaring at Cate impassively, “Get lost right now.”
“Son-in-law?” Cate laughed playfully. ” You’re really shameless. Anyway, at least I’ve figured out what your plans are. Let’s go.”
She dragged Shaun away and left.
Hadley immediately tagged along. “Miss Cox, should I continue staying here?”
“What’s the point of staying here? Wesley is here now. Don’t worry, I never planned on making you stay here for long. I knew Wesley would keep Jeffery and Sally from taking my side. ” Cate looked calm.
“But you…”
“I just wanted to annoy them and confront Wesley,” Cate explained, “I had to figure out Wesley’s motive. As you saw just now, he called himself their son-in-law. He’s probably not planning to treat Jeffery and Sally as puppets. In my view, he wants to step into Lyons Corporation using his identity as their son-in-law. Jeffery will probably be the chairman of Lyons Corporation, and Wesley will then become the president or something.”
Hadley was shocked to his core. “Young Master Lyons put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into Lyons Corporation. But it’ll end up benefiting Wesley in the end?”
“Don’t worry. If Wesley wants to be their son-in- law, it means that I have to be Jeffery’s daughter. It’s more legitimate for me to manage Lyons Corporation than him.”
Cate snorted. This behavior was just despicable, was it not? It was because of Wesley that she had learned to be despicable.
“By the way, head to the police station to have a look. I’m sure Wesley will investigate the matter, but I’m afraid he’ll accuse me of doing it. He might be the one who got those people to cause trouble in the funeral parlor. Perhaps he wants to frame me and worsen Jeffery and Sally’s impression of me,” Cate ordered calmly.
After Hadley left, Cate brought Shaun into the car.
Shaun was sulky throughout the journey. “Cate, what does ¡®husband’ mean?”
Cate was stunned as she did not expect him to be dwelling on it.
As much as she did not feel like clarifying it to him, she considered that he would find out about it from others eventually.
After some thought, she parked the car at the roadside and said earnestly, “Shaunny, I have a complicated relationship with that man. Husband… refers to a marriage partner. It means we’re a married couple.”
“What does a married couple mean?” Shaun was confused and nervous. ” Is he more important than me?”
“No. No one is more important than you.” Cate held his hand. “The man you saw just now used to behave very well in front of me. I thought I could count on him for the rest of my life, so I married him. After getting married to him, I realized that he had a mistress and has always been hypocritical. He’s a bad guy. Although he’s always been very nice in front of me, he’s actually so evil that he even beat me and killed someone. But we can’t find evidence to prove that he killed someone. I want to divorce him, but he keeps refusing to sign the divorce papers.”
Upon hearing her words, Shaun was muddle- headed. As he still had the mind of a kid, he could not understand anything related to marriage. He only focused on one thing. “He beat you?”
His expression became particularly grave. “How dare he beat you? Is he looking for death? Let me teach him a lesson on your behalf.”
Cate noticed that the anger in his eyes was quite similar to how he looked when he lost his temper back then. After being dazed for a moment, she said softly, “You can teach him a lesson, but you can’t act impulsively. If you get caught, I’ll need to save you. You have to protect yourself first.”
“Oh. I’m really useless. ” Shaun was deeply upset.
“No, I think you’re doing great.” Cate caressed his hair encouragingly. “Shaun, although I’m married to him, our relationship exists in name only. How I wish I could send him to jail. Actually, marriage is just a formality, but it doesn’t represent my feelings. You’re the person I love, forever and always.”
He might only have the mental age of a two-year- old, but his understanding of things was gradually improving.
Cate did not want to make herself out to be his sister or aunt. Once certain things were set, it would be hard to change his perception of things.
It was her intention to make it clear to him that she wanted to be his woman.
