Joel took two steps backward. He was stunned at the sight of her ferocious, pretty face.
He could not believe that the agitated woman in front of him was his unforgettable first love.
“Well… C-Chairwoman Cox.” Joel said with difficulty, “Let’s… calm down, okay? I came here to discuss our daughter’s matter.”
“I’m sorry, but Rosabella is my only daughter.”
Sheryl glowered at him resentfully. “Why did I fall for such a dumb*ss like you who can’t even recognize your own daughter? Cate isn’t your daughter. You treat the person who murdered our daughter as your darling. Are you senile? Wait, you’re not only senile but also scummy. You fooled around with other women and never fulfilled your duty as a father. If you had been responsible, Rosabella wouldn’t have been kidnapped and tortured.”
Joel gaped at her. “No, no. You’re the one who is mistaken. Cate really is our biological daughter. Look how alike both of you are. What’s more, when I acknowledged her and asked her to return to the Yules’ house, I did a DNA test with her.”
“I’ve also done a DNA test proving that Rosabella is m y daughter.” Sheryl leaped to her feet. “All of you are trying to make me acknowledge Cate as my daughter. Well, you can dream on. I won’t be so foolish as to mistake her for my daughter. Also, she killed Rosabella, and I’ll take revenge on her. I swear that I must kill Cate.”
Sheryl’s eyes filled with intense hatred.
Joel was taken aback by how stubborn Sheryl was to behave so neurotically in front of him.
He was really worried that Sheryl and Cate would kill each other one day.
“Chairwoman Cox, these are… Cate’s hairs.”
Joel placed the few hairs on her desk. ” If you don’t believe me, you can send these hairs back to Soromon Island for DNA testing. They’re your trusted people, and they won’t be able to fake the result. As for Rosabella and your DNA test, may I know if you did it yourself?”
“My son personally did it. Are you saying that even my son can’t be trusted?” Sheryl did not believe Joel at all.
“Chairwoman Cox, perhaps the hair was real, but have you ever thought that it might not belong to Rosabella? Did you watch her pluck it from her head with your own eyes?”
“Zip it. Rosabella is already dead, yet you guys continue to slander her.” Sheryl could not help but slam her hands on the table and stood up.
Joel said impatiently, “Chairwoman Cox, I want to have a clear idea who my biological daughter actually is as well. You said your result shows that Rosabella is the one, but mine proves that it’s Cate instead. In fact, we share the same goal, which is to find the daughter whom we lost back then. If Cate is the one who faked it, I’ll personally deal with her before you do. Since Rosabella has been cremated, I can’t possibly get her hair. I personally plucked these hairs from Cate’s head, and it’s pointless for me to lie. Both of us simply want the truth.”
After pausing for a moment, Joel noticed the frown on Sheryl’s face. She seemed to be pondering over it. With that, he quickly added in a deep voice,” Perhaps you’re suspecting that your husband, Titus, has feelings for Cate because she looks like you when you were younger. You might reckon that Titus has an ulterior motive. Given that there’s no romance involved in my relationship with Cate, I won’t make up something just to win your trust. There’s no point in doing it.”
Sheryl stared at him thoughtfully without saying a word.
Seeing her reaction, Joel said, “Chairwoman Cox, all you need to do is make a call to have these hairs sent over there. At the same time, you need to keep this a secret. Don’t let anyone else know about it aside from your bodyguards and yourself. No matter how far Cate and Titus interfere, they can’t possibly have a hand in the affairs in your territory.
“To be honest, it’s impossible for two people to look so alike. Not only does Cate look like you, but her eyes also take after mine. She also looks like my niece, Melanie.”
Once Joel finished speaking, he slid five photos out of his pocket. “Look at these five photos. This is Cate, and this is my niece, Melanie. Another photo here is how Rosabella looked before she underwent plastic surgery. The other two are our photos when we were in a relationship. You can compare them. I just want to remind you that every child takes after their parents, and I won’ t go on anymore. I’m leaving now.”
With that, he turned around and closed the door before he left.
When Joel walked out the door, he darted a glance at Sheryl and sighed. He hoped that she had a sense of judgment. From his understanding of Sheryl, she probably would not let the drugs run her own life.
In the office, Sheryl subconsciously rested her eyes on those photos.
As much as she wanted to fling them away, she froze at the sight of both photos of Cate and the younger Joel side by side.
Sheryl could see why Cate took after her since she was her aunt.
However, Cate’s eyes were indeed similar to Joel’s.
Sheryl picked up Melanie’s and Cate’s photos, only to find the close resemblance between them even though she thought that they were not related by blood.
After that, she grabbed the photo of Rosabella before she underwent plastic surgery. Surprisingly, she could not see any resemblance between Rosabella and Joel at all. Rosabella was not similar to Melanie in appearance either.
Sheryl’s heart did a flip.
How could Cate possibly resemble Joel and Melanie? It reminded her of Joel’s remark — every child takes after their parents.
A thought popped up in Sheryl’s head. Just as she was about to grab hold of it, her head began to hurt terribly.
The photos in her hand fell onto the floor.
“Chairwoman Cox.” The assistant beside her was shocked. “Let me send you to the hospital, okay?”
“No need. Take me inside for a short rest. ” Sheryl waved her hand with a pale face.
The assistant promptly held her up and took her into the lounge. Sheryl lay on the bed with her eyes partly closed. “Send those few hairs back to Soromon Island, and get our doctor to conduct a DNA test.”
“Alright. ” The assistant nodded. As she had been following Sheryl for years, she was treated as the latter’s confidant.
After Jeffery saw Wesley off in the car park, he was ready to head upstairs when he suddenly spotted an elegant middle -aged man coming out of the office.
That face…
He had come across that face on TV before. The man was none other than Joel Yule.
Nevertheless, why was Joel here? Did he come to look for Sheryl?
Jeffery began to panic. Considering that Joel was Sheryl’s unforgettable first love, could she have remembered something at the sight of him?
After going upstairs, Jeffery swiftly called over Sheryl’s secretary from her office.
It was Wade who assigned this secretary to keep a watchful eye on Sheryl. However, she acted on Jeffery’s and Wesley’s instructions in secret.
“Let me ask you. Did Joel come to look for Sheryl just now?” Jeffery asked fiercely.
The secretary nodded. “They had a brief talk in the office. There were bodyguards outside the door, so I have no idea what they talked about. But once Joel left, Sheryl’s head hurt very badly. When I went into her office to fetch some warm water for her, I saw several photos on her desk.”
“What photos?” Jeffery asked fretfully.
“Sheryl’s assistant was there, so I dared not move too close. I only caught a glimpse of the photos. All I could recognize was a photo of a young girl who looked like Sheryl.”
Deep down, Jeffery shuddered. He quickly searched for Cate’s photo on the Internet and showed it to the secretary. “Is she the one?”
“Yeah. It’s her.” The secretary nodded.
“Okay. You may go out.” Jeffery waved his hand. As soon as the secretary left, he called Wesley anxiously to inform him about it. “Well, what do you think Joel is planning to do by bringing those photos here? As soon as he left, Sheryl’s head began to hurt so bad that she had to rest. Do you think she’ll recall something? After all, Titus has had her treated for some time.”
“For now, I don’t think she will.”
Amid his thoughts, Wesley said, “Even so, I’m sure Joel has done something. How many photos did he bring here?”
“Yeah. The secretary only saw Cate’s photo.”
A moment of silence befell over the other end of the phone before suddenly, Wesley laughed grimly, “I know whose photos Joel brought. It seems like he’s not senile after all. Cate bears a resemblance to both Sheryl and Joel, and it’s normal for a daughter to look like her parents. However, Rosabella doesn’t look like Joel at all. Even Cate has a passing resemblance to Melanie.”
” So… So what should we do?” Jeffery grew edgy. ” Sheryl won’t suspect us, right?”
“Now that she’s slow and her head has been aching badly, I reckon she won’t suspect us yet, but she’ll probably investigate it. You need to hurry up and coax Sheryl into settling the matter regarding Golden Corporation for me. After that, do away with her.”
It made Jeffery’s blood curdle. “Are you out of your mind? But she’s…”
“We can’t allow her to leave Australia. She and Titus happen to be cutting each other’s throats now, aren’t they? Let’s accuse Titus of killing her. If the Soromon Islanders were to take revenge, they’d do it to the Costner family. We can just reap the benefit from their fight by then. What’s more, Titus genuinely loves his wife. Sheryl’s death would mean that half of his life is gone, so there’s nothing to fear,” Wesley said in a light-hearted manner.
As Jeffery listened to Wesley, he grew increasingly petrified.
Wesley was really terrifying. He was just like a devil.
Would Wesley kill him one day without him realizing it?
“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Wesley began to laugh. “Uncle Jeffery, from the day I came looking for you in jail to have you acknowledge Cate as your daughter in front of Sheryl, there is no turning back. Oh, by the way, since Sheryl might have begun suspecting you, I need to create some drama between Cate and her. I can’t let them acknowledge each other so soon.”
“What are you trying to do again?” The words escaped Jeffery’s mouth.
“I want to fuel the hatred between them.”
Once Wesley finished speaking, he hung up the call. Jeffery shuddered.
Once the issue was over, he planned to take a few hundred billion dollars and leave Australia afterward. He did not mind giving up on Lyons Corporation.
