“I’m just worried that you won’t eat breakfast. Look at how thin you’ve gotten recently. I have to see you eat before I leave.”
Jeffery showed a look of concern.
Sheryl’s heart warmed slightly. When she thought of her son’s disappearance and her husband’s betrayal, the only people around her who seemed to care about her were her brother and sister-in-law.
She forced herself to eat a few bites before persuading Jeffery to leave.
When she was about to return to rest, the doorbell outside suddenly rang.
The assistant answered the door and said to Sheryl awkwardly, “President Cox, Mr. Costner is here.”
Sheryl’s expression changed and she stood up. However, she suddenly felt dizzy.
“Be careful, Sherry.” Titus hurriedly rushed forward to hold her but was stopped by the bodyguard.
“Titus Costner, how dare you appear in front of me?! ” Sheryl turned around and glared at him coldly after she regained her balance. “Actually, this is good. We can settle our accounts today. Since you’re here, don’t even think about going back intact.”
When Titus saw her looking at him with eyes full of hatred, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. “Sure, I’ll do whatever you want. Can you close the door first? I have something important to tell you. You wouldn’t want to argue and have the entire hotel know about it, right?”
Sheryl hesitated for a moment, and the attendant who followed Titus in suddenly closed the door of the suite.
Then, the attendant lifted the wig on his head, revealing a slim and miserable-looking face. ” Mom, it’s me…”
“Matt…”
“Matt…”
Sheryl was shocked and rushed over. If she were not seeing it with her own eyes, she would not believe that her handsome son had really become like this. His face was sallow and bony. She quickly grabbed his arm, but he immediately trembled in pain.
“Matt, what happened to you?” Sheryl was overwhelmed. When she looked down, she saw that two fingers were missing from his hand. Her pupils shook violently as she almost went mad. “Where are your fingers? Who cut them off? Was it you, Titus?”
She pushed Titus in fury. Titus’ face showed disbelief.
Matthew hurriedly stopped Sheryl. “Mom, it wasn’t Dad. It was Wesley who captured me and cut off my fingers to threaten Dad.”
“Wesley?” Sheryl was stunned. Her head hurt so much that she did not dare to think too deeply. ” That’s impossible.”
“Why is it impossible? Wesley, Rosabella, Jeffery, and Jeffery’s wife are all in it together. Do you know why your health is so bad? It’s because Rosabella drugged your food previously.” Titus could not hold back his low roar.
“Shut your mouth! That’s impossible.” Sheryl interrupted him hysterically with reddened eyes. ” I’m perfectly normal. It’s because you gave me drugs that I turned out like this.”
Titus was deeply dismayed. He felt a burst of powerlessness.
When Matthew saw Sheryl’s sharp and unreasonable expression. There were complicated emotions in his heart. He never expected that his family would end up like this during the time he was locked up.
“Mom, Dad’s telling the truth.”
He grabbed Sheryl’s arm. “I’m your son, your biological son. Don’t you believe me? Look at my fingers. They were chopped off by Wesley Sanderson himself. I watched him chop them off with my own eyes. Do you know why he captured me? It’s because I suspected Rosabella, so I went to Melbourne and re- investigated her past. Over there, I discovered that we were all lied to.
“Yes, Rosabella was abducted back then but after she was brought back by the Cox family, Jeffery and his wife were very good to her and even drove Cate out of the house. Rosabella also deliberately stole Cate’s ex-boyfriend, Nathan Lowe. But after Nathan got struck by misfortune, Rosabella looked down on him and immediately kicked him away. Then, she found another young man from a wealthy family but when she dated him, she slept around with other men too. Her reputation in Melbourne’s upper class circle is terrible.
“Jefferey and his wife deserved to go to jail. They weren’t framed by Cate at all. They really did kill Grandma, so they were arrested by the police.
“Mom, Rosabella isn’t your daughter. She’s Jeffery Cox and Sally Lennon’s daughter. Your daughter i s Cate.
“When I was caught by Wesley, I heard it from him. He went to Neah Bay a few years ago and saw you. He started to suspect your identity when he saw that you looked so similar to Cate. Then, he secretly investigated you. He wanted to marry Cate and then bring her to find you, her mother. That way, he could become your son-in- law.
“However, Cate didn’t like him at all, so he simply tricked Cate into marrying him and took advantage of the time they lived together after their wedding to take her hair and give it to Cate’s sworn enemy, Rosabella. Rosabella took her hair and went to Neah Bay, where she deliberately dangled herself in front of me to catch my attention.”
Matthew fell into deep remorse and pain. “It’s all m y fault. Back then, when I let the attendant take Rosabella’s hair for the DNA test, Rosabella had put Cate’s hair on her comb and her pillow. Hence, the DNA test showed that you’re her biological daughter.”
“No, that can’t be.”
Sheryl covered her head, almost going crazy.
Rosabella was not her daughter? Her daughter was Cate?
What had she done to her biological daughter? She beat her up and called her a b*tch.
She also ruined Lyons Corporation and allowed Rosabella to kidnap her granddaughter.
She even avenged Rosabella’s death.
“Mom, think about it. You used to be so calm and intelligent. Why did you become more and more suspicious recently? You even started to quarrel with Dad all the time despite seldom quarreling with him before. It’s because Rosabella drugged your meals previously. Do you know why she drugged you? It’s because you said that Melbourne brought you a sense of familiarity when we arrived and you started to recall some of your memories. She was afraid that if you recovered your memory, you’d remember that you gave your daughter the name Cate, so she used a drug to prevent you from recovering. However, the drug has heavy side effects.”
The more Sheryl listened, the more frightened she was.
She seemed to have vague recollections of what Matthew said but was unable to clearly grasp those moments.
She felt that her memory was very poor lately and she had forgotten many details.
She only remembered that Titus had betrayed her. She remembered that Titus fell in love with Cate.
He hated that she was old and past her prime.
Those thoughts made her crazier and crazier. Sometimes, she even wanted to kill Cate and Titus.
Suddenly, she felt her body shudder. She clutched her head hard.
“Mom, when Jeffery and his wife were locked up in prison, Wesley must have visited them. They already started colluding back then.”
Matthew held Sheryl. “Dad suppressed Wesley’s company abroad, but you helped him again. Jeffery and Wesley are in cahoots, and now, Lyons Corporation and Golden Corporation are both in Wesley’s hands. He’s working together with Gavin Mead and they plan to make a move against Prime Minister Snow tonight. When that happens, he’ll take control of the country. Dealing with Cate will be as easy as dealing with an ant when that time comes. He’ll use your grandchildren to torture Cate. Right now, only you can solve this problem.”
“That’s right,” Titus quickly said, “As long as you no longer oppose me and we stop Golden Corporation’s expansion and development abroad, Wesley will lose an arm. Currently, the relevant certificates for the distribution of Lyons Corporation’s shares haven’t been completed yet. You can cancel the shares distributed to Jeffery. If you do that, Wesley won’t be able to do anything.”
“Is… that true?” Sheryl looked at them blankly.
She could not believe it. All this time, she had been in the middle of Jeffery and Sally’s scam.
She could not accept that she had hurt her daughter like that.
How could she face Cate again?
“Mom, why would I lie to you? Wouldn’t I know who cut off my fingers?” Matthew could not help but roar as his eyes reddened. “Do you know what I went through? I was locked in a dark cage, and all I had to eat was stale bread and dirty water. I lived like a dog every day. Wesley rarely came, but every time he did, he punched and kicked me. Look at the injuries on my body…” He took off his clothes, revealing bruises all over his body. There were even traces of cigarette burns.
“Wesley is a pervert. He’s a devil! He wants to be someone who can lord over others, so the nobler my status, the more satisfying it is for him when he tramples on me and humiliates me. He said that you’re all stupid idiots who are dancing in the palm of his hand. Sooner or later, he’ll become the richest person in the world. He wants to make the Costner family and Soromon Island yield to his feet.”
Matthew’s body trembled unbearably.
Since he was a child, he had never suffered such humiliation.
If it were not for his strong endurance, he would not have lasted until now.
Sheryl’s pupils contracted sharply.
This was her son. Although she was strict with him when she was raising him, she would just hit the back of his hand at most whenever he was naughty.
However, he was actually hurt to this extent now. Sheryl almost lost her footing.
These years, she had been in a high position and thought that everything was in her hands.
She suddenly realized that she was a fool. She was so foolish that she could not even protect her own son and daughter. She even became an accomplice and hurt them so badly.
At that moment, rage filled Sheryl’s chest. She wanted nothing more than to kill Jeffery and Wesley.
“Sherry, call your subordinates.” Titus held her shoulders tightly. “But don’t startle the enemy. Wesley will make a move tonight, but if he knows that his business abroad has gone wrong, he’ll suspend his plan to escape. What the Snow family needs is evidence that the Mead and Sanderson families intend to rebel.”
“Okay, I’ll make the call right away.” Rosabella trembled as she took out her phone and called her most loyal secretary abroad. “Contact the other countries and send word to cancel the cooperation with Golden Corporation. Do this in secret and don’t alert the enemy before tonight.”
After hanging up the phone, her mind was still blank.
After a long time, she looked at Titus in a dazed and confused manner. Her thin lips moved as she asked in a trembling voice, ” Is she… really my daughter?”
