10:00 a.m.
In Hudson Corporation, Cate came out of the elevator in a fashionable light coffee-colored suit.
Her body was as straight as ever and her figure could be plastered on a fashion magazine, but unfortunately, the gauze covering her face today made the employees look at her with strange expressions.
However, no one dared to ask.
It was only after she walked past did some people start to whisper and discuss.
“What happened to Chairwoman Cox’ face? Did she have a botched surgery?”
“You idiot. Don’t you know? She was caught committing adultery in bed and was beaten up.”
“No way, she’s already so rich but she still wants to be a mistress?”
“I heard she’s an illegitimate daughter. Back then, her mother also destroyed a marriage, and now, she seduced her younger sister’s fiancé. She doesn’t have any morals at all.”
“That’s right, how do you know so much about it?” Cate’s voice suddenly sounded from behind them, and the women jumped in fright.
“C-Chairwoman Cox… Why are you back?”
“Do I have to explain myself to you? Answer my question.” Cate’s clear and cold gaze exuded a strong oppressive aura.
“S-Someone posted a notice at the door in the morning. Many people saw it,” the female employee replied warily, “I’m sorry, Chairwoman Cox. I won’t dare to do it again.”
“Didn’t you say I don’t have morals? People with no morals like me must have bad characters, so what’s the point of me keeping you? It’s New Year’s soon. Pack up your stuff and leave.” Cate turned and went back into her office.
After pressing on the internal line, her assistant Kacey soon came in with a strange look.
“Has the notice at the door been cleared?” Cate went straight to the point.
“It’s been cleared, but word about it has basically spread through the company,” Kacey stammered, “Chairwoman Cox, don’t take other people’s gossip too seriously.”
“It’s not gossip. It’s the truth.” Cate looked straight at her.
Kacey, “…”
How was she supposed to ask a question like that?
At that moment, the secretary suddenly rushed in and said, “Chairwoman Cox, bad news. Someone brought people to the company to cause trouble. When they entered the door, they started smashing items and said they wanted to see you.”
“I’ll go down.” Cate got up.
The secretary was at a loss. “Chairwoman Cox, that’s not a good idea. I think they brought a camera. They must want to record it and post it online.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Cate went downstairs.
Along the way, she received a call from Shaun. “Don’t go down. I’ve already notified Elle. She’ll bring someone over to deal with it.”
“No need. I’ll handle it myself.”
“Cate, don’t be impulsive. Fergus Wicks is one of the people who came. They’re not people you can reason with.”
Cate laughed mockingly. “Ever since I got tied to you, I can only choose to learn to face these things. After all… you can’t protect me all the time.”
“…”
She hung up the phone and went out of the elevator.
Immediately, a rotten egg smashed into her forehead, instantly staining the gauze on her face. It was a ghastly sight.
“B*tch, you stole someone else’s boyfriend! You deserve it! I’ll beat you to death.” A well-dressed young girl stood beside Melanie, looking disgusted and spewing curses.
“Chairwoman Cox…” Kacey was startled and hurriedly took a tissue to wipe her face.
Cate ripped the gauze off and revealed the red wounds on her face.
“How ugly! Did Shaun Lyons vomit when he saw this face?” Another girl dressed in a flamboyant manner said disgustedly, “Trash like you don’t deserve to appear in Canberra. Hurry up and get lost.”
“I’m so sorry to say this, but Shaun was still lying in my bed this morning, gently stroking my face and telling me not to leave him.”
Cate smiled softly, making Melanie shake from anger. She rushed up to slap her, saying, “Cate Cox, go to hell!”
Cate had been waiting for this moment. She grabbed Melanie’s wrist and pulled her toward her, fiercely slapping her several times. “This is how you hit me yesterday. I’m giving it all back to you today!”
Melanie was slapped several times and fainted.
“How dare you lay a hand on her in front of me?! You must have a death wish!” Fergus charged over. Kacey jumped in surprise and could only rush forward to block him.
Fergus kicked her away, and Cate took out a fruit knife to press it on Melanie’s face. Her eyes were ruthless. “If you dare to move, I’ll destroy her face.”
“Uncle, don’t move. I can’t be disfigured.” Melanie was so scared she almost cried.
“Cate Cox, if you dare to touch her, I’ll take your life!” Fergus shouted furiously. He had come here to settle scores with her, but he did not expect to be threatened instead.
“My life? Feel free to take it. If I were afraid of death, you wouldn’t be standing here.” Cate sneered, “But Melanie is different. You’re still relying on her face to climb up the Lyons family. Who would want her if she’s disfigured?”
“What do you want?” Fergus said in annoyance.
“Hand over the cameras.” Cate gave him a look.
Fergus had no choice but to wave his hand, and several cameras were handed over to her company’s employees.
“Happy?”
Just as he finished speaking, a bunch of police officers rushed in from outside. “We received a report that someone came to Hudson to cause trouble…”
Fergus was just about to speak when Cate immediately pushed Melanie aside. She walked up to the police with red eyes. “Officer, these people just entered the building and started vandalizing our property. They even threw a rotten egg at my face.”
Melanie screamed, “No, she clearly tried to ruin my face with a knife! Hurry up and arrest her!”
The police officer looked at Cate whose face was full of wounds and smeared with rotten egg liquid and then at Melanie who was well-dressed and looked completely immaculate. He immediately became angry. “Who was it who tried to ruin the other person’s face? Do you think I’m blind?”
“Mr. Officer, don’t raise your voice. She’s the precious daughter of the Yule family and that man is Fergus Wicks from the Wicks family. I heard that he knows a lot of hoodlums,” Cate said nervously.
Fergus was used to acting arrogantly and snorted coldly when he heard her. “Which district are you from? I know your chief.”
Cate blinked in surprise. “I didn’t expect a police chief to be one of the hoodlums he knows. How incredible.”
The officer’s eyes narrowed as he quickly yelled at Fergus, “Our chief won’t know people like you. I don’t care who you are. Take away everyone who dared to cause trouble here!”
Soon, the police took Fergus and the others away.
“Mr. Officer, thank you very much. It’s thanks to you that we’re safe. I promise to make a donation later this afternoon.” Cate was moved and sent the police to the door.
Elle, who just arrived and saw this scene, immediately called Shaun helplessly.
Shaun smiled happily when he heard about it.
He absolutely loved it when she was cunning. “Go and say hello. Make sure those people are locked up for a few more days, especially the woman who threw the rotten egg at Cate. Feed her more rotten eggs.”
Elle reminded, “Eldest Young Master Lyons, she’s the daughter of the Holt family…”
“So what?”
After a scolding, Elle heard the sound of the phone hanging up.
After leaving the police station.
Cate noticed that her face was getting more painful and she had to drive to the hospital again.
When Doctor Hawes from the dermatology department helped her clean the wounds, a white-clad Chester Jewell came in through the door. “Make sure to use the best medicine to heal the injuries on Ms. Cox’ face as soon as possible. There mustn’t be any scars.”
