Lea’s face was as white as a sheet. She felt as if something was blocking her throat.
“It’s okay, dear. You can ask Shaun to give you the money,” Mason said happily, “Thank you for being such a great help to the Campos family. I love you.”
If it were back then, Lea would have been touched, but now, her whole body felt cold. “Mason, as far as I know, the Campos family’s business has been doing quite well these few years. Does the account not have 80 billion dollars?”
“Well, my parents said no. I suppose they won’t lie to me.”
Lea was slightly relieved. The Campos family must have lied to Mason as well. It was impossible that Mason would lie to her.
…
In the office on the top floor.
After Mason ended the call, his gentlemanly face was replaced with sarcasm and coldness.
He threw his phone aside.
Charlie smiled to please him. “Uncle, Lea is so stupid. I was reluctant to give the money to Shaun, but she simply gave us 60 billion dollars. Haha, Shaun will probably die from frustration if he knew we took his mother’s money and returned it to Lyons Corporation.”
“This woman is starting to be suspicious,” Mason said calmly.
“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, no one can hinder the rise of the Campos family now.” Charlie smiled. “Uncle, you’re amazing. You single-handedly expanded the Campos family up till this point.”
“Marry Melanie as soon as possible. Only marriage can tie two families tightly on the same boat.”
“I will. After that, I’ll devour Yule Corporation step by step. By then, the Campos family will be the ones at the top of Australia’s hierarchy.” Charlie was increasingly pleased as he thought about it.
“Right, Shaun shouldn’t be able to hold out much longer either.”
Mason narrowed his eyes.
…
At night.
At the spa.
Half of Cate’s body was submerged in the milk bath. “This place is quite good. It’s my first time here.”
After speaking, she squinted her eyes and glanced over at Charity who was entering the bath. “Wow, you look thin but you actually have a nice body.”
A faint blush appeared on Charity’s face which was rare.
Cate gawked.
At that moment, a woman’s voice could be heard from the other side of the wall.
“Shelley, I heard that the prices here are very high. How do you have the money to invite us here?”
“I know, it must be Eldest Young Master Lyons who gave you the money, right?”
Shelley said embarrassedly, “Eldest Young Master Lyons is very generous. Although I’m no longer taking care of him, he gave me this gold card. He said I can spend it however I like.”
“Wow, I’m so envious. Eldest Young Master Lyons must’ve taken a liking to you.”
“A caregiver with her master. It sounds like a romance novel. If you ask me, I would say you look much prettier than that Cate. Who knows? You might become Young Madam Lyons in the future.”
Charity’s expression darkened upon hearing those words. She was about to stand up, but Cate pressed her shoulders down.
“You’re just going to let this slide?” Charity looked at her.
“Don’t be hasty. Let’s finish our bath first.”
Cate shook her head and closed her eyes.
20 minutes later, Shelley and three other ladies came out of the washroom wearing bathrobes. Suddenly, they saw Cate and Charity blocking their path.
“Young Madam, what are you trying to do? You can’t possibly want to bully us right?” Shelley put on a panicked look on her face.
A tall, skinny woman behind her came forward and said, “Young Madam Lyons, there’s no need for you to take your anger out on a woman. Sometimes when men cheat on you, you must reflect on yourself. After all, it takes two to tango.”
Charity’s gaze turned icy. “No wonder you guys hang out together. Looks like birds of a feather flock together.”
Cate scoffed. “Shelley, I just want to take back the gold card that’s with you right now. Shaun and I are husband and wife. His property is our shared property. I have the right to take back the money that he gave you.”
“Young Madam, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I earned the money that I have,” Shelley said aggrievedly.
“You earned it with your body?” Charity mocked, “Shelley, how did you become like this? I remember you were quite honest back then. On your 18th birthday, you even refused a diamond necklace that Sarah gave you because it was expensive.”
“Charity, I’ve never changed.” Shelley’s eyes reddened.
Charity’s eyes glinted.
“Fine, if you’re not taking it out, I’ll call the police.” Cate took her phone out annoyedly. “If you’re still holding my husband’s gold card when the police come, I can say that you’re a thief. Of course, if you have the ability, you can call Shaun to come over.”
Seeing that she was about to call the police, Shelley bit her lip and took a card out of her pocket. “You can call the police. This card was given to me by Young Master Snow. I can get him to come over and testify to this.”
Her friends were stunned. “Shelley, didn’t you say just now that it was Eldest Young Master Lyons who gave it to you?”
Shelley’s face reddened in embarrassment. She stammered, “The card that Eldest Young Master Lyons gave me is in my house…”
Charity ridiculed her, “Why did both Eldest Young Master Lyons and Young Master Snow give you a gold card? I heard that the rich like to share their women with friends. Tsk tsk, this is incredible.”
The way Shelley’s friends looked at her suddenly changed. Their gazes were now full of disdain and scorn.
“Charity, let’s go.”
Cate took Charity’s arm and left. Since the card that Shelley had was Rodney’s, she had no right to pursue the matter further.
Charity looked back at Shelley and whispered, “This Shelley is weird.”
“Yeah, she’s a b*tch who knows how to pretend…”
“No, Shelley is Sarah’s cousin. She would often come over to the Neeson family to play. I met her many times back then. From what I remember, Shelley was an honest and well-behaved person. She was even a little dull. I tested her out just now. On her 18th birthday, Sarah never gifted her a diamond necklace, but she didn’t know at all…”
Cate’s heart pounded strongly. “You’re saying that Shelley is a fake?”
Charity nodded. “Not only that, Shelley accidentally hit a truck in the past when she was cycling back home after school. The steel bars on the truck left a deep wound on her collarbone, and a scar remained. However, her skin was flawless when she wore the bathrobe just now.”
“…”
Cate’s steps halted.
Her head was about to explode.
If that Shelley was a fake, then where was the real Shelley?
Who was the person who was posing as Shelley and what was her intention?
Right, when she first met Shelley, she had thought her eyes were very familiar. That exact same b*tchy personality of hers had made her think of… Rosabella.
A chill broke out from her body.
“Charity, I’m not staying here in the spa anymore. I just remembered I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll be leaving first.”
Cate quickly changed her clothes and sped home.
She pushed the door of her manor open. Shaun was sitting on the sofa inside, doing his work.
“Cate, didn’t you say you were going to a spa? You came back early.” Shaun put down his laptop and stood up. “Have you eaten—”
“Shaun, let me ask you, did you meet Rosabella when you were still in Melbourne after everything happened?” Cate interrupted him.
“Why are you asking about her?” Shaun’s gaze became grim.
“After Jeffery and Sally went to jail, Rosabella suddenly disappeared. Did you have anything to do with it?” Cate stared at him.
Shaun frowned. “That’s right. I did give her a lesson. She…”
He suddenly felt a familiar, sharp pain in his head. “What did I do to her? Why can’t I remember?”
Cate’s heart sank. She thought Shaun’s memory had been excellent all along. “Call Hadley and ask him. He surely knows.”
