Previously, she had let Shaun consume such a drug. However, she could not fully understand his pain at that time. Now, she completely understood it.
The men walked toward her while rubbing their hands.
The men used to serve as bodyguards to some rich people. They had heard of Cate’s name and even met her before. Since they were just bodyguards though, they could not covet Cate, the most beautiful lady from a wealthy family in Melbourne. Little did they expect that they would be offered the chance today. How wonderful!
“Don’t come near me.”
Cate staggered backward in fear. She took out her phone to call Shaun. However, the moment she took it out, someone snatched her phone and tossed it aside.
“Gosh, don’t you see what’s going on? Nobody will be able to save you.”
One of the men threw himself into her arms first.
…
Wesley was going to attend a social activity along with his assistant. At the staircase, he happened to catch sight of Rosabella and a middle-aged man walking out of a private room and heading toward the elevator.
The middle-aged man pressed the elevator button for Rosabella in a polite manner. He even let her enter the elevator first, acting just like a servant.
Wesley’s assistant asked curiously, “Hey, isn’t he Mr. Frank, the manager of the planning department? It’s surprising to see him behaving courteously toward that woman.”
Wesley narrowed his eyes. He could recognize Rosabella at first glance. Considering that Summit had fallen from power, why would someone from Hudson treat her so courteously?
It then struck him that Joseph had told him Cate was busy dealing with someone from Hudson lately. Apparently, she was trying to take on the project regarding the design of the houses. As he thought over it, he felt that there was something fishy going on.
Rosabella was such an evil person. She would probably target Cate, especially after Summit fell from power.
Without much hesitation, Wesley headed to the private room that Rosabella left from. He turned the doorknob, only to realize that the room had been locked.
Standing close to the door, he heard a woman’s screams.
It was Cate.
Damn it!
He lifted a chair in the corridor and slammed the door open.
The minute he barged in, he saw two men pressing Cate against the floor on each side. Her shirt was ripped into shreds. With a flushed face, she continued to struggle violently.
“Who are you?”
The two security guards’ expressions changed. Wesley ran toward them and beat them to the ground.
Upon realizing that things were not right, the men grabbed the opportunity to flee.
Wesley did not have the time to seize them. He immediately raced to Cate and carried her.
With a manly scent emanating from him, Cate threw herself into his arms uncontrollably.
Wesley’s assistant entered the room and caught sight of the scene. With a blush, he immediately closed the door and left.
Wesley was nervous. Although he knew that Cate had consumed something unpleasant, he did not want to take advantage of her at that point.
He pushed her away forcefully. “Wake up, Cate. Let me send you to the hospital, okay?”
“No.”
Cate’s teeth chattered. “I feel terrible.”
Her body emanated a unique, charming scent.
At that instant, many scenes from when they first met flashed across Wesley’s mind. He had long since fallen in love with Cate. However, she had always kept a distance from him, which made him unable to approach her.
He was ready to be with her forever if possible.
This was the chance.
He admitted that his selfish motive had defeated his gentlemanly behavior at that moment.
“Marry me, Cate. I’ll assume responsibility for my actions.”
As soon as Wesley finished speaking, he carried her to the couch and kissed her lips.
Cate naturally hugged him tightly. At that point, the phone on the floor suddenly rang.
Shaun’s voice flashed across Cate’s head. Struck by the thought, she tried to come to her senses and pushed Wesley away. She then gave herself a hard bite on the wrist, drawing blood.
“Cate…” Wesley was heartbroken.
“No way. We can’t do this.” Cate shook her head miserably. “Please carry me to the bathroom.”
“Sorry.”
Little did Wesley expect that she would regain her senses. He was distressed, but he ultimately respected her decision and carried her to the bathroom.
After being placed in the bathtub, Cate immediately turned on the tap.
Drenching herself in cold water, she felt slightly better.
The phone that was left outside rang again. She reckoned that it was Shaun who was calling her.
If she did not pick up the call, he would definitely suspect that she had betrayed him again.
“Mr. Sanderson, please pass me my phone,” Cate said with trembling lips.
“Okay.”
When Wesley went out and picked up the phone from the carpet, the notification showed an incoming call from Shaun.
Shaun?
Why was he calling Cate?
At that moment, a lot of thoughts and doubts flashed past Wesley’s head. At last, he picked up the phone and passed it to her while suppressing his distress.
Cate pressed the answer button and placed the phone by her ear. Shaun’s voice that carried a trace of annoyance immediately sounded. “I’ve called you three times, Cate. If you didn’t answer my call this time, I was already planning to call the police.”
Soaked in the water, Cate pinched her thigh forcefully to keep herself clear-headed. “That’s going a bit too far.”
“I know full well how vulnerable you are,” Shaun said in a huff, “You can be easily trapped once you let your guard down.”
Tears welled up in Cate’s eyes. Indeed, she had been caught in a trap and was nearly ruined, but she did not want to let him know this. Firstly, it was because she did not want him to rush all the way back from Brisbane. Another reason was that she did not want him to be associated with Hudson. Regardless of his brilliance, Hudson was among the top global enterprises. He could not afford to provoke the company.
“I… I’m fine. I was just having fun with Mireya. My phone was in my purse… So I didn’t hear it.”
“What happened to your voice, Cate?” Shaun said in an irritated manner, “From your hoarse voice, I would think that you’re trying to seduce me.”
Cate, who was covered with sweat, tried to suppress her feelings and spoke in a relaxed tone, “How could it be? I’m going to end the call now. I want to shop for clothes.”
“You’d better return home early.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Cate hung up the call and swiftly tossed her phone aside. After that, she immediately got up from the water. Amid her huffing, she said, “Mr. Sanderson, could you please go out first?”
“Sure. Let me know if you need anything.” Wesley glanced at the phone on the floor with mixed feelings before he turned around and walked out.
His mind was filled with the conversation between Cate and Shaun earlier.
Why did Cate choose to lie to Shaun?
What was their relationship?
Wesley lit a cigarette and stayed outside until the next morning.
At 7:00 a.m., Cate came out of the bathroom while quivering. She wore the shirt that Wesley’s assistant bought last night.
“Let me send you to the hospital,” Wesley said concernedly.
“No, it’s alright. I want to go home and rest.” Cate felt lethargic and drowsy at that moment.
