She could not understand why she had such a stupid brother.
“I was the one who proposed to her…”
“Shut up and get lost.” Old Master Snow was afraid that his anger would put his health at risk if he looked at Rodney some more. “Don’t talk to me.
I’ve made up my mind.”
After that, Old Master Snow walked away.
Jessica glanced at Rodney helplessly. “Grandpa is serious. You should think this through. Is it worth it for a woman? How far can you go without the Snow family’s support?”
“I’ve thought it through. Unlike you, I won’t marry someone that I don’t love, ” Rodney said furiously.
Jessica’s expression changed, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes. Then, she walked out of the gazebo and left too.
Rodney stood there for a while before he walked out of the Snow family’s house annoyedly.
When he got in the car, he received a call from General Manager Stevens. “President Snow, our company’s acquisition of Country F’s SKITTL Group has failed.”
“What happened? Haven’t you took two full years t o prepare for SKITTL Group’s acquisition?” Rodney felt an inexplicable anger wash over him again.
Initially, he wanted to take the opportunity of acquiring SKITTL Group to let Osher Corporation step into the shampoo industry and even expand it globally. That way, he did not need to pay SE Group any mind at all.
If a company wanted to grow bigger, it had to expand its range of products. He thought that the acquisition would surely be successful.
General Manager Stevens laughed bitterly.“ President Snow, SKITTL Group initially wanted us t o be the acquiring company. But after news got out that the Snow family has canceled your right of succession, SKITTL Group made some considerations. They were afraid that Osher Corporation’s future developments might not be good without the support of Snow Corporation, so they went for a large company in the US.”
“Bullsh*t, did I come this far by relying on Snow Corporation? I relied on myself. ” Luck was not on Rodney’s side today.
“President Snow, the most important thing now is t o stabilize the position of Osher Corporation’s skincare brand in Australia. There are rumors that Mireya and SE Group’s general manager is planning to collaborate. Once they develop a new product, Osher Corporation’s position will plummet. We might even be eliminated.”
General Manager Stevens continued, “The products are upgraded and replaced too quicHy these days. We need an excellent, top cosmetic chemist. Since you have lost the support of the Snow family, you’ll become a laughing stock among the wealthy families in Australia once Osher Corporation starts going down.”
Rodney gripped his phone tightly. The veins on the back of his hand were throbbing.
He had never imagined that he, the favored one in the Snow family, would be in such a situation one day.
Osher Corporation was his blood, sweat, and tears. If he lost Osher Corporation, he would be left with nothing at all.
“President Snow, no matter what, you have to beg Mireya to come back to the company,” General Manager Stevens said bitterly. “We’ve thought of every possible way. But that year, it was you…”
“Shut up. Enough, I got it.” Rodney almost smashed his phone.
He never thought that there would come a day
where he had to beg Mireya.
Above all, that woman even ruined his reputation just a few days ago, but he could not tear her apart yet. F*ck.
At night, Cate had a meal with Joel and Lucas a t the Yule family’s manor.
When Joel and Lucas learned that Cate would be staying overnight, they were thrilled.
The huge villa felt too empty with only the two of them and a few servants.
At 8:00 p.m., just as Cate was about to fill up the bathtub for Lucas’s bath, Hackett Institute’s management gave her a call all of a sudden.
“Ms. Cox, according to your neighbor, a man has been waiting for you at your door since this evening and hasn’t left yet. It looks like it’s your… ex- boyfriend.”
“Ex-boyfriend?” The corners of Cate’s mouth twitched. Her neighbor had seen Shaun going in and out of her door a few times before. However, he had not shown up for a while now. Her neighbor must have mistaken Shaun as her ex-boyfriend, who had broken up with her.
“Yes, ” the management said, “of course. I’m just informing you. It’s your choice whether to come back or not. If there’s any dispute or disturbance, you can choose to report this to the police. ” After hanging up, Cate immediately called the police. ”Hello, is this 000?”
9:30 p.m.
Shaun leaned on the door of Cate’s house and looked at his phone from time to time.
Why was that woman not back yet when it was already so late? Could she be on a date with some guy again? If Shaun had not tracked Isaac’s whereabouts beforehand and found out that he was working extra hours at his company tonight, he would not have waited here foolishly for seven hours.
He had never waited for a woman like that before. Ding. A sound came from the elevator.
A few policemen walked toward him with a frown. “It must be you.”
Shaun was dumbfounded.
“Let’s go. Either you leave this neighborhood, or follow us back to the police station.” The police said coldly, “The owner of this house has already made a police report. She said you’re her ex-husband who has been pestering her so much even after the divorce that she doesn’t dare come home.” “She called the police?
Shaun’s handsome face twitched, and he exuded a terrifying aura. Unbeknownst to him, it made the police more certain that he was a violent man with bad behavior.
“Nonsense. Should she allow you to pester her if she doesn’t call the police?” A policeman started to educate Shaun. “ I’ve seen many men like you who still abuse their wives even after they’re divorced. Let me advise you on one thing. Since you’re already divorced, just live your own life. Are you still a man if you keep clinging on to her?” “Very well.”
Shaun clenched his fists and walked toward the elevator in long strides.
When the elevator doors closed, he heard the policemen outside talking.
“This guy’s temper is so bad. If I were a woman, I’d divorce him too.”
Shaun walked to the parking lot. He slammed the car door shut and made a call to Master Ziegler of Liona.
“Find out Cate’s location for me. I want to know where she is.”
Not long after, Master Ziegler sent him an address: [ Cate is at the Yule family’s villa.]
Shaun’s expression loosened up a little. Luckily Cate was not on a date with another man. If not… he might murder that man.
The next morning.
Cate had a good night’s sleep with Lucas. When they woke up to have breakfast, the butler came in and said, “President Yule, a sports car arrived at the door around 10 p.m. last night and has been parked there ever since. The guard said the lights on the car came on several times at night, so there is someone inside. The model of the sports car is a global limited edition. Currently… only Shaun has it in the whole of Australia.”
Joel’s expression turned cold. “Why is he waiting at our door? I’ve never seen such a shameless person i n my whole life.”
Lucas looked at Cate nervously. “Mommy…”
“Don’t worry. Let’s have our breakfast first. I’ll meet him once I’ve eaten.”
With that, Cate filled Joel and Lucas’s plates. She would still have to meet Shaun anyway.
“Cate, listen to me. Stay away from that guy. Isaac’s pretty good too. You can get to know him more, ” Joel advised her earnestly. “Shaun is a fickle scumbag. If Sarah didn’t get into trouble, he wouldn’t even turn back and look for you.”
“I know. Dad, let Uncle Sheldon send Lucas to preschool later, and don’t let anybody find out, ” Cate reminded.
After breakfast, Cate walked out from the main entrance of the Yule family’s villa.
Shaun immediately opened the car door and walked toward her. Having not been home for two consecutive nights, the shirt he wore was crumpled, and there was stubble on his face. However, that did not affect his good looks at all. In fact, it strengthened his presence further. Even his gloomy mood was filled with a compelling taste of a bad boy that women loved.
“You called the police last night?” Shaun stared at Cate with bloodshot eyes.
