The assistant paused for an instant and shot a complicated look at Joel before he responded, ” Seven to eight minutes after you left Lyons Corporation.”
Joel’s heart trembled, and his face became ashen.
Cate closed her eyes and scoffed. “Dad, you must accept the fact now, right?”
A dazed look washed over Joel’s face. In this world, there was probably nothing more painful than knowing that the woman he used to be deeply in love with wanted to kill him.
Cate took the elevator directly to the car park.
She then started the car and sped out of the hospital.
These days, she had been feeling something burning in her chest, probably because her emotions had been repressed for a long time.
With her inability to defeat some people over certain things, she had considered giving in. However, why were those people insistent on targeting the people around her?
She gritted her teeth and called Titus. “Uncle Titus, please tell me Sheryl’s address.”
“What are you planning to do?” Titus frowned. ” Don’t go there rashly. She has assigned quite a number of bodyguards from overseas to be by her side.”
“I’d like to have a talk with her.”
Cate did not plan to tell Titus the issue because Joel was his love rival. Another reason was that she did not want Titus to be caught in the middle, considering that Sheryl was his wife.
“She’s now emotionally unstable, so it’s useless to talk to her.” Titus rejected her request outright. “I won’t tell you for the sake of your safety.”
Cate was at the end of her tether. “Will I be safe if you don’t tell me? It’s impossible. A wicked woman like her won’t let me off just like that.”
Titus was deeply distressed by her words because she took his beloved wife for a wicked woman.
“Uncle Titus, this is Australia. You can’t protect me. At this point, no one can protect my family and me,” Cate said, feeling powerless. “If I can ensure my family’s safety by sacrificing myself, I’m ready to do that.”
Titus’s heart clenched. For a long time, he did not say a word.
“Even if you don’t tell me her address, I can get it on my own.”
After hanging up the call, Cate drove straight to Lyons Corporation.
Just as she walked up to the door, the receptionist blocked her. “I’m sorry, Miss Cox. You’re not our staff member, and you didn’t make an appointment, so you can’t enter.”
“What if I’m set on going in?” Cate narrowed her eyes.
“We’ll have no choice but to deal with you. ” The security manager came with a group of security guards. With a grim smile, he said, “Miss Cox, Shaun isn’t here with you this time. He beat us up so badly last time, and you were even haughty enough to tell the president on us. Unfortunately, now that Shaun has bugged off, we’re back. Now that I am here, don’t ever think about stepping in.”
Cate’s dark eyes were somber, and she clenched her fists tightly.
All of a sudden, Wesley’s laughter rang out behind her. “Wifey, what brings you here? Is it because Shaun has dumped you that you can’t step into Lyons Corporation? Wait, that’s not right. This company is no longer called Lyons Corporation. It should be Jere Corporation. What a nice name.”
Cate turned to look at him with disgust. “Oh. Judging from your cheerful laugh, I thought it was named Sanderson Corporation.”
Wesley did not seem to get her sarcasm. He slowly walked up to her and whispered with a note of smugness, “Now isn’t the time yet, but it’s going to happen very soon.”
Cate lifted her head and saw Wesley’s smug expression. At this point, Wesley made no pretense of hiding his emotions.
“Cate, how beautiful of you to look at me this way.” Wesley held her gaze. The glint of hatred in her once bright, large eyes gave him an indescribable sense of pleasure.
He stretched out his hand and slid it across her chin.
However, Cate slapped his hand off disgustedly. “Stop touching me. You’re disgusting.”
“I’m disgusting?” Wesley chuckled coldly. “How great is Shaun? The high and mighty Eldest Young Master of the Lyons family has been around Hannah like a dog every day. Does he think he can marry into the Mead family by playing up to Hannah?
Dream on. Gavin will never accept him. At most, he’ll just let Hannah sleep with Shaun. You’re lucky that you’re still my wife.”
“I don’t give a d*mn about it. I just want you to get a divorce with you.” Cate said indifferently, “I advise you to get the divorce proceedings settled as soon as possible. With your current status, marriage can be used as your best bargaining chip. “
“Haha. You’re wrong. With my current status, there’ll be countless wealthy ladies trying to play up to me. I reckon Gavin wants to marry her daughter off to me as well. Sadly, I’m not interested in her. I’ve married you, but I haven’t gotten to sleep with you. What a shame.”
Wesley sized her up avariciously.
As Cate had been taking care of Joel in the hospital earlier, she was wearing a pair of plain jeans and a T-shirt. Even so, her outfit did not hide her attractive curves, and her beautiful but pale face evoked sympathy for herself.
“I’m sorry, but I’m worried that I’ll catch a disease.” A look of disgust washed over Cate’s face.
Wesley’s eyes became frosty, and he sneered. “I don’t think you understand. At present, nobody in Australia can do anything to me, including Prime Minister Snow. I forgot to let you know that Titus’s earlier attempt to ruin Golden Corporation’s overseas businesses has been in vain. I asked your mom for a favor yesterday, and she has already helped me overcome the problem I encountered abroad. Right now, a lot of countries are willing to work with me again. Really… I appreciate you for that.”
He moved closer to her ear again. “What a wonderful mom you have. She’s willing to help me with anything. That’s very sweet of her.”
Not only did he disgust her, but he also made her infuriated.
Every word of his resembled a needle that pricked her heart.
Unable to tolerate him further, she tried to slap him.
Nevertheless, Wesley seized her wrist and said with a smile, “Don’t be mad. You can’t be mad just because your mom didn’t help you. Sigh. Speaking of it, your mom is really vicious. She has always wanted to take revenge on Rosabella’s behalf, and I heard she currently hates you to the core. But if she kills you just like that, it’ll be too easy for you. She wants you to experience the torment of losing your loved ones.”
Cate widened her eyes, which did not contain the slightest trace of warmth. In fact, they were trembling.
Wesley continued to whisper in her ear, “As far as I know, what happened yesterday was just a minor issue. How fortunate Joel was! Having said that, he might not be able to escape from your mom next time since she’s quite capable and well-connected.”
“You guys have been trying to tear us apart in front of her, haven’t you?”
Cate’s dark eyes slowly turned dull, and they were filled with frustration and helplessness. ” Wesley, you’ve been making use of me to rise to the top. Honestly, if it weren’t for me, all you would have right now is just an ordinary transnational company. Do you think you could’ve been who you are today without me? Don’t tell me that you love me. This isn’t how you should love someone. You’ve had the intention to take advantage of me right from the beginning, but haven’t you taken full advantage of me by now? I beg you to let go of me. I’ll stay as far away as possible from you guys. As for the matter regarding Rosabella, I’ll never expose it.
This was her first time surrendering to Wesley.
“You’re finally begging me.”
At the sight of how defeated Cate looked, Wesley was so elated that words could not describe how smug he was. “But the way you’re begging me seems far too casual. Um, you should at least take off your clothes and wait for me in bed.”
He whispered in her ear, “Why don’t… you give it a try now? If I’m satisfied with the way you serve me, I might speak up for you in front of your mom.”
Cate raised her head and almost threw up at the sight of his sleazy expression.
A moment later, she forcefully escaped his grip. “Do you think you deserve to sleep with me? Look at your disgusting face. You’re ugly and old.”
“Cate Cox, do you have a death wish?” At that moment, Wesley’s good mood was ruined, and there was a look of exasperation in his eyes. “Do you know the consequences of offending me? Don’t expect Titus to save you. Although he’s on friendly terms with Prime Minister Snow, his men can’t enter Australia because I have Gavin backing me.
Currently, even Prime Minister Snow is too scared to offend Gavin. If you’re expecting Mireya and Titus’s help, you can dream on. You’re all on your own right now.”
He approached her step by step with a grim smile. ” Don’t expect your family to take you abroad as well. All I need to do is pull some strings with Minister Mead and your family won’t be able to get the international travel formalities done overnight. I can simply drag it on for a month, but who knows what’s going to happen in the next one month?”
Cate shuddered.
This man was like a devil. No, he was more vicious than a devil.
“I’ll wait for your call. I’ve never changed my number because of you.” Wesley snorted softly before he strode out.
Looking at Wesley’s figure, Cate wished she could knock him over with a car.
Luckily, she did not drive today.
After leaving Lyons Corporation, her heart felt heavy.
Having come this far, she felt nothing but exhaustion. She had an overwhelming urge to kill herself. However, what would happen to her kids and Joel, then?
She wandered along the road in a daze.
Not far away, a Bentley was driving toward her.
Hannah, who was in the car, happened to be gazing out of the window when she immediately spotted the abstracted Cate outside.
She glanced sideways at Shaun, who was looking at his phone. Then, she quietly shot a look at the driver in front.
