“I don’t have the faintest idea what you’re saying! ” Cate found it ridiculous. “Are you suspecting that I kidnapped Sarah?”
“If not you, who else would have done it? Even the person under you has been seized.” Rodney tossed the photo at her. “Look at this person. Do you know him?”
Cate lowered her head and saw Logan being tied to a shelf. There were whip marks all over his body, and his handsome face was severely wounded.
Her eyes suddenly conveyed a sense of grimness. “
Where is he?”
“Just admit it. ” Rodney scoffed. “Cate Cox, I’m giving you two options now. You can either go to jail or let my subordinates have their fun with you. Only then will I let you off the hook.”
Cate chuckled. “For someone like you who isn’t even eligible to inherit the Snow family’s properties, you’re nothing. I’m sure this bunch of people are not the masters from Snow Corporation. If you guys have the guts, you can band together and attack me. Let me see how great you are.”
Rodney was so exasperated that his expression changed drastically. At this moment, Shaun had rushed over.
He slammed the brakes to stop in front of their cars. He immediately got out.
He was still wearing the same shirt as when he had hurriedly left in the wee hours of the morning.
Nevertheless, his exquisitely handsome face looked extremely fierce, which was completely different from his gentle appearance yesterday.
At the sight of Shaun, Rodney snorted. “Shaun, you came at the right time. She’s admitted that it was her doing. This time, you have to give me an explanation. This cruel woman must be punished accordingly.”
Cate was at a loss for words. “When did I admit to kidnapping Sarah?”
“You admitted that the kidnapper works for you. If you hadn’t instructed him, would he have kidnapped Sarah of his own accord?” Rodney criticized her.
Cate furrowed her brows. Although Logan worked for her, he would not randomly kidnap someone without her order—unless someone had framed him.
She had always kept Logan a secret. No one knew about him except for a few of her close friends.
Could it be that someone had found out about it after the reporter captured her meeting Logan in the pub a few days ago?
Having said that, who could that person be?
Could it be the young man who headed to Neah Bay, the one who also secretly assisted Sarah?
Perhaps… it was Sarah’s new plan. Sarah’s purpose was to intensify the conflict between Shaun and her. Then, she would destroy her right-hand man,
Logan.
The mastermind of this incident was ruthless,
indeed.
It had been a while since she returned to Australia and it was her first time feeling so frustrated.
She had underestimated Sarah.
At this point, it was still not known who was the one secretly assisting Sarah.
However, what mattered now was saving Logan. She could not leave him high and dry.
“Look, Shaun. She feels so guilty that she’s stopped speaking.” Rodney scoffed.
Shaun slowly walked toward Cate. Last night, he had imagined himself being with her forever, yet at this moment, he felt that he could not see through her.
“Why did you do such a thing?”
He stared at her icily with bloodshot eyes. “If you’re holding a grudge, you can take revenge on me. I was the one who hurt you previously, not Sarah. You can do anything you want to me, but why did you get someone to humiliate Sarah?”
For a woman, nothing was crueler than accusing her of something she did not do.
However, it was his beloved woman who did such a horrible thing.
Cate looked into his eyes impassively and calmly. “Shaun, you just told me recently that you’d try to trust me. Is this how you’re trusting me? Whenever it comes to Sarah’s affairs, you always suspect me without a second thought.”
“I don’t want to suspect you either, but I’ve caught the person who works for you!” Shaun thundered, “ When you met him at the pub that day, you were instructing him to kidnap Sarah, right? If you say n o and deny your connections with him, I’ll get someone to kill him at once.”
“No!” Cate said helplessly, “Shaun, there must be a misunderstanding. I hope you’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. It’s true that Logan works for me. He’s the bodyguard I hired from overseas. When I returned to Australia, you guys were still my enemies, so I had to get someone to protect me. I understand his character. He wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Stop denying,” Rodney chimed in, “The truth is already right in front of your eyes. Logan just acted on your instructions. Who else would’ve instructed him to do so if not you? In the whole of Australia, only you and Mireya hate Sarah.”
Shaun remained silent, but he clearly agreed with Rodney.
As Cate watched the glow in Shaun’s eyes dim little by little, her heart was overwhelmed with sarcasm. She mocked herself for being touched by his words 24 hours ago.
After going through so many hardships, had it still not hit her that this man was a liar?
When he wanted her, he could say everything.
“Shaun, I just want to ask you one thing. What can I do so that you’ll let Logan go?” Cate asked in a low voice.
“Let him go?” Rodney reacted as if he had heard a joke. “Are you dreaming? He hurt Sarah. People like him should be tortured to death. By the way, why are you so worried about someone who works for you? Could it be that you’re having an affair with him?”
“Watch your mouth.”
As soon as Cate warned Rodney severely, she could clearly sense the sudden fury in Shaun’s frosty eyes.
Deep down, she was cursing Rodney. She even hoped that he would not have any descendants nor get together with the woman he loved.
“I can let him go,” Shaun enunciated each word sourly, “When he dies, I’ll pour his ashes into the toilet.”
“Shaun, Logan and I are innocent. You’d rather believe Rodney’s words than mine despite sharing a bed with me. I finally understand it now.” Cate lowered her eyes, her eyelashes hiding the glint in her eyes.
Shaun was heartbroken at the sight of her expression. Was she under the impression that he wanted to behave this way? It was all because of her insistence on saving Logan.
“Cate Cox, you’ve let me down. I never thought… you’d be so wicked.”
Rodney had said this to her many times before but she never cared about it. However, when the same thing came out of Shaun’s mouth, she could not help but give a faint smile.
Her eyes even reddened.
He was calling her wicked?
After three years, he was still as blind as ever. He still failed to see Sarah’s true colors.
“How dare you still smile at this point?! ” Rodney yelled in anger.
“It’s funny.” Cate wiped the moist corners of her eyes before she turned around and walked toward the elevator.
“Stop.” Rodney immediately asked his subordinates to surround her. “Where are you planning to go?”
“Why? Are you planning to seize me on your own?” A stony look flashed across Cate’s eyes. “You guys aren’t the ones in charge of Australia now. You claim that I kidnapped Sarah, but do you have evidence? Just because you caught someone I know, you’re certain that it was my doing. Did the person you caught mention that I was the one who instructed him to do it?”
Stung by her criticisms, Rodney was so exasperated that he widened his eyes. “I don’t care! Whether or not you admit it, you just can’t leave today.”
