“Wesley Sanderson, don’t you dare!” Cate was one step faster and kicked him to the side.
Wesley took a few steps back as anger rushed straight to his brain. “How dare you kick me? Cate, do you think you’re still the woman under Shaun’s protection? I’ll teach you a lesson today. Guards…”
At his exclaim, several tall bodyguards rushed in. “Trash this place…”
“This is the Jewell family’s hospital. It’s not a place where you can cause trouble as you like.”
At that moment, Chester calmly walked in while dressed in a white coat and with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. A thin and shallow smile hung on his face, but it only gave him a chilling look.
Wesley narrowed his eyes. Chester was close to Shaun and had once humiliated him as well, so he never liked him. “Chester Jewell, are you going against me because of these two people?”
“If you destroy my hospital and injure our patients, I can call the police.”
Chester slowly raised his eyes. “President Sanderson, I know you have the Mead family backing you, so it’s pointless to call the police, but you should know that this is a hospital with countless patients. Your behavior counts as a disruption of a healthcare facility. If people in this country can’t even be guaranteed treatment, what do you think the outside world will think of you and how they’ll look at you? This is a country with a developed network. I’m afraid nothing good will happen to you if you make a big fuss here.”
After a pause, he said with a vague smile, “After all… although the Mead family is ambitious, they haven’t become the ones in charge behind the scenes yet.”
Wesley shook a little before he laughed. “Since you already know so much, you should know that you need to choose to stand on the right side now. You should’ve also noticed the direction the wind is blowing. If you join the right side too late, it might not do you any good.” Cate froze.
Wesley made no effort to conceal the ambition in his words.
Has he already become this rampant?
“The Jewell family never takes sides,” Chester said indifferently.
“Really? I remember that you have quite a good relationship with Rodney.” Wesley smiled. “What’s more, you stopped me today. Do you think anyone will believe you? Chester, a wise man submit to circumstances. Look, even your good friend Shaun is trying to please Hannah Mead like a good dog.
He’s much smarter than you.”
Chester’s expression changed slightly. “Wesley, as a human, one should have morals.”
“Morals?” Wesley laughed maniacally. “As long as I’m powerful, what’s the point of morals?”
“In that case, we have conflicting opinions. Go. As long as I’m here today, don’t even think about touching these two people.” Chester’s icy face was firm.
“Fine, just you wait.” Wesley’s lips pulled into a sinister line as he led the people away.
“He’s too rampant.” Joel was simply furious. He was already in his 40s yet it was the first time he encountered such a person.
“Young Master Jewell, thank you, but…” Cate’s expression showed her deep concern. ” From your tone earlier, is the Snow family in a bad situation now?”
“Most of the wealthy families in the capital have defected to Wesley’s side, and you’re also aware that he has Minister Mead behind him. ” Chester frowned. “When Minister Mead decided to work together with Wesley, it was destined that this would not simply be a competition in the business world anymore. Judging from Wesley’s words, he’s not even bothering to hide his intentions anymore. I’m afraid that Minister Mead will soon make a move against the Snow family.”
Joel’s heart trembled as he listened. “Gavin Mead is too cruel. He wouldn’t be where he is today if Prime Minister Snow hadn’t worked with him and helped him.”
“When a person’s position rises, they’ll become dissatisfied with the status quo. What’s more, with the collapse of the Lyons family, Wesley’s strong and sudden rise, as well as Sheryl’s help, Minister Mead has the qualifications to make a comeback now,”
Chester said worriedly, “No one knows what will happen in the future. Once Prime Minister Snow really becomes a puppet, with Wesley’s despicable character, he’ll no longer be afraid of anyone. Uncle Joel, Ms. Cox, I advise you to leave Australia as soon as possible.”
Joel could not help but sigh unwillingly. “If we leave now, my company…”
“Do you think you can keep your company by staying here?” Chester shook his head. “It’s useless. I’ve already heard rumors that the various influential families will spare no effort to suppress Joule Corporation. However, where there’s life, there’s hope.”
Joel was at a loss for words, and Cate said bitterly, “It’s not that I don’t want to go, but I can’t go. Wesley said that he won’t let my visa get approved so quickly. If he delays it by a month, maybe the person in charge of the country will have changed by then.”
Chester frowned. “That’s possible. The Mead family has won over many dignitaries in private, so it’ll be easy to delay your visa.”
Cate fell into deeper despair when she heard those words. “Actually, I’m not worried about myself. I’m mainly worried about the two children.”
“Don’t worry. Since they’re Shaun’s children, I’ll think of a way,” Chester said grimly.
Joel was furious. “You’re Shaun’s friend so you’re willing to think of a way, but what about Shaun? He has completely abandoned his children at a time like this.”
Chester said, “Uncle Joel, don’t be angry. I’ve always felt that Shaun isn’t like other people. He should have his own plan.”
“He does have a plan. He’s smart, so he must have anticipated the Mead family’s thoughts before all of us. That’s why he went to please Hannah Mead.
With Hannah around, the Lyons family will be safe.”
Joel sneered.
“Dad, don’t get angry. He lost his memory, so he naturally doesn’t have much affection for us. It’s normal for people to act in their own interest.” Although Cate’s heart felt uncomfortable, she still forced a smile to comfort her father.
After Chester left, Cate’s mood became worse.
If Chester had not appeared, she could not imagine how badly the situation earlier would have turned out.
She called Mireya. “Mireya, what are you doing?”
“I’m in the villa. Cate, I’m sorry. I heard that your dad got into an accident but I can’t go over. The Snow family said… that I can’t go out for now, ” Mireya said in a low voice.
“I know, I heard.” Cate gripped the phone. ” The Snow family— “
“Cate, some things aren’t convenient to say on the phone.”
Mireya interrupted her.
Cate froze. Yes, the Snow family might be being monitored now and Mireya’s phone might be bugged. “Okay. I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I’ll go see you later.”
She quickly drove to the villa where Mireya lived.
When she got there, she saw that the place was heavily guarded.
She was extremely upset. Due to Shaun and Wesley, she forgot to care about her friend, Mireya. When she entered the villa, Mireya stood in the garden wearing loose lounge clothes. Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger. She should be giving birth soon.
“Where’s Rodney?”
“He went out for some matters. He’s been very busy lately.” Mireya looked troubled. She did not gripe about Rodney like she did in the past.
“Mireya…” Cate held her hand and whispered, ” Did the Snow family realize that this place is no longer safe? They should send you abroad.”
“I can’t leave just because I want to. The immigration bureau is filled with the Mead family’s men, so I can’t leave.” Mireya had a headache. ” Everyone else thinks that marrying into the Snow family is the same as becoming a person who can lord over others, but danger lurks on every side here.”
Cate was shocked. ” How did Prime Minister Snow allow the Mead family to get this far?”
“It couldn’t be helped. The Snow and Mead family were close partners. After my godfather came to power, Minister Mead received a lot of credit and many old ministers shared good relationships with Minister Mead from the start. My godfather was wary of him long ago, but he couldn’t get rid of Minister Mead immediately after rising to power since it would chill people’s hearts. Hence, Minister Mead took advantage of that. Coupled with Wesley’s rapid rise, many people have switched sides to the Mead family.”
Mireya sighed. “Now, the only way is to get rid of Wesley because he’s the constant source of funds behind the Mead family.”
Cate fell silent.
No one wanted to get rid of Wesley more than she did.
However, the problem was that Sheryl had been helping Wesley behind the scenes.
She really did not know what kind of bad luck she had to have such a mother.
“What about you guys?” Cate became even more worried. “Gavin is going to rebel sooner or later.”
“Yes, it’ll be Gavin’s birthday in three days. I heard from Rodney that he plans to do it on that day.” Mireya’s expression was unpleasant. “The Snow family is also making arrangements. Once they lose, my godfather will become Gavin’s puppet and Snow Corporation will be swallowed up by Wesley and Gavin.”
Cate’s scalp tingled. If even Snow Corporation fell into Wesley’s hands, her two children and Joel would be in danger. No one would be able to protect them.
“Cate, if there’s a chance, escape on your own. ” Mireya grasped her hand.
“What about you?” Cate gritted her teeth. Mireya was her best friend.
Mireya was at a loss, but when she saw Cate’s worried eyes, she assured her. “Don’t worry. The Snow family has a hundred-year-old foundation and won’t collapse that easily. Besides, the prime minister has already been elected, so Gavin will be illegitimately conferred if he harms the Snow family.
At most, he’ll just put us under house arrest. What’s really dangerous is the election four years later. When that time comes, he’ll get rid of us after he becomes prime minister.”
Cate froze. Thinking about it now, it was possible that this was exactly Gavin’s plan.
