Rosabella’s face was pale. This was her dark history. She had clearly covered it all up, but this person surprisingly managed to find out about it. He was too terrifying.
“Since you like men so much, I’ll let you get married.”
Shaun said and walked away without looking back. Soon, a short and ugly old man in his 50s walked in.
When he saw Rosabella, he gulped hard. “Young Master Lyons, you’re letting me marry her?”
Rosabella looked at Hadley with a horrified face. “Don’t let me accompany him. I’ll go with you. You can do whatever you want. You can do what Willie did too.”
Hadley dodged back in disgust. “Don’t touch me, I hate dirty things. Don’t shun him so much. He just looks old, but he’s only 40 and has been single for decades since he couldn’t find a wife. You’ll follow him back to the countryside and give him a child.”
Then, Hadley left, leaving Rosabella behind. She cried in despair, but no one paid her any mind.
At that moment, she truly regretted it. She should not have forced Cate Cox out of the household at that time. She should not have pushed Granny Cox down the stairs.
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
…
At the entrance of the police station.
Cate had just finished recording her confession when she suddenly heard someone call out her name.
“Cate.”
She turned around to see Wesley coming toward her with a smile on his face. The weather was cold, and he had a plaid scarf wrapped around his neck. It gave him a gentlemanly air.
“What a coincidence. Why are you here?” Cate forced out a smile to greet him. Every time she saw him, she remembered those photos and the conflict between Shaun and her.
“A relative at home did something, so I came to bail them out.” Wesley looked helpless. “I heard that Jeffery Cox and Sally Lennon were arrested recently. Are you…”
“Yeah, the police called me here to take my statement. The case will be transferred to the judicial department next week and then the two will finally be sentenced.”
“Congratulations, you’ve finally avenged your grandmother.” Wesley was happy for her.
“Thanks.” Cate’s smile did not reach her eyes. She looked quite tired.
Wesley walked with her toward the parking lot, looking at her along the way. “You… look tired. Have you been resting well? Does Shaun still have a misunderstanding…”
“Can we not talk about this?” Cate interrupted him.
“It’s my fault.” Wesley looked guilty.
“How is it your fault? You helped me that night. If it weren’t for you, I might have committed suicide a long time ago. Yesterday, you even cooperated with me to clarify the misunderstanding and saved my reputation. I should be thanking you,” Cate shook her head and said honestly.
The two chatted while walking. A young man suddenly walked beside them, but they did not pay him any mind, thinking that it was just a passing pedestrian.
However, the man suddenly took out a fruit knife from his coat pocket and stabbed it toward Cate’s chest.
“Watch out!”
Wesley noticed it too late. Seeing the knife about to stab her, he quickly reached out to block it, and the knife pierced into his arm.
By the time Cate reacted, the man had quickly pulled out the knife to stab it at Cate again. Wesley could only use his body to shield her, and the knife pierced the small of his back.
“Help!” Cate cried out. She impulsively grabbed the man’s arm. “Who are you? I don’t even know you!”
“It’s enough that I know you. It’s your fault for being Shaun Lyons’s woman. I’ve been following you for a long time now.” The man revealed his hideous face while continuing to stab as if he was mad.
Fortunately, they were close to the police station. An officer heard the cry for help and quickly ran over to subdue the criminal.
Soon, an ambulance arrived and swiftly took Wesley to the hospital. However, he had already lost a lot of blood along the way and fell unconscious.
Cate quickly made a call to Nathan, who rushed over shortly after she arrived at the hospital.
The door to the ER was pushed open, and the doctor came out with a clipboard. “The knife was stabbed into the patient’s left kidney and it has to be removed immediately to save his life. Who’s the patient’s family? Please sign immediately.”
Cate was stunned. Nathan also found it hard to accept. “Doctor, must it be removed?”
“Necrosis has already set in the left kidney, so it’s useless now,” the doctor said helplessly, “If we could save it, we definitely would’ve.”
Nathan had no choice but to bear the pain and sign the papers.
Cate shed painful tears. “It’s all my fault. That person wanted to kill me. It was your uncle who used his body to help me block the knife.”
Nathan had mixed feelings. He did not expect Wesley to have such deep feelings for her. Now, he was also very worried about Wesley’s safety. He could only say, “Don’t think about it. The doctor said that removing his kidney will save his life. The human body can still function with only one kidney. He just has to be more careful in the future.”
Cate smiled bitterly. He was going to lose a kidney. How could he be as intact as before? “Have you informed your grandparents?”
“No, my grandparents are old and I don’t want to upset them. Let’s wait until Uncle’s surgery is over.”
Nathan looked at her and sighed in his heart. He was mainly afraid that his grandparents would scold her if they knew the truth.
Fortunately, three hours later, Wesley was saved. The operation was over, but he was not awake yet.
Before long, the police came over. “Ms. Cox, we’ve interrogated the culprit. The person who wanted to kill you is called Hugh Jewell. He’s not from Melbourne.”
Cate was infuriated. “I don’t even know this person.”
The officer nodded. “According to his confession, he had a twin sister named Lily Jewell. Five years ago, Lily Jewell was only 17, but… She caught the eye of Thomas Neeson from the Neeson family in Canberra. Lily refused to go with him and chose to jump to her death from a building. The Jewell family sued Thomas. At that time, there was almost conclusive evidence, but the Neeson family found Shaun Lyons to take on their lawsuit. Shaun Lyons claimed that Lily seduced Thomas but Thomas looked down on her, so she decided to commit suicide because of her humiliation. The court not only failed to punish Thomas, but it even painted Lily as someone who slept around. Her mother could not accept it and fell ill. She passed away soon…”
Cate was shocked. She only knew that Shaun was invincible in court, but she did not know that he had even taken on so many heartless lawsuits. “So, he wanted to kill me to get revenge on Shaun Lyons?”
“Yes. He disappeared five years ago after that lawsuit, and we only learned that he came back to Melbourne this year. He wanted Shaun Lyons to know the pain of losing a loved one, but… Shaun Lyons is surrounded by bodyguards and he’s very cautious, so Hugh Jewell has been unable to get close despite trying for several years.”
The officer told her, “He had been following you for some time, but you were protected by a bodyguard these days. It was only today that he got the chance.”
All of a sudden, Cate seemed to realize something.
A few days ago, Shaun had suddenly arranged for Elle to follow her. It was not to guard against Jeffery and his daughter but to look out for Hugh Jewell. However, he did not tell her anything.
She did not have her guard up at all. If Wesley had not appeared today, she might have died.
An endless chill enveloped her heart. Cate suddenly thought that Shaun felt very unfamiliar now.
“Why is retribution for what Shaun Lyons did falling on Uncle?”
Nathan was furious. “Cate, I suggest you stay away from Shaun Lyons. Who knows how many enemies he has provoked over the years? I heard he often goes to court for the rich. He must have earned a lot of ill-gotten money.”
Cate fell silent, lowering her head with a pale face.
Nathan’s heart hurt. If he had not made the wrong choice in the first place, she would not have been fooled by Shaun.
