Wesley stared at her with a bitter expression. “I’ve been doing well since I was young. It’s only when I reached Canberra did I realize how insignificant I am. Second Young Master Lyons is an elite among the elites. Suddenly, I feel that I don’t qualify to be together with you.”
Cate smiled gently. “You think too highly of me. Even after returning to the Yule family, I’m just an illegitimate daughter. No one from wealthy families would agree to let their sons marry me.”
“They’re just too shallow. They don’t know the positive qualities in you.” Wesley held a strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear.
Cate subconsciously felt like dodging him, but she still bore with it.
…
The third day.
Nicola and Melanie came to the hospital in a fit of rage.
“Joel, why are you doing this? Why are we not allowed to enter our house?” Nicola kicked up a fuss the moment she walked in. “Even your biological daughter isn’t allowed to go in. All you currently care about is just Cate, right?”
“Dad, are you really planning to abandon me?” Melanie began to weep bitterly.
Joel felt sour deep down. “After—”
“Dad…” Cate stopped him.
Joel kept quiet right away.
“Cate, you’re the one who forced Dad not to allow me to return home, right?” Melanie vented her anger on Cate. “That’s my home. I’ve been living there for 20 years!”
“It’s my fault, Cate.” Nicola suddenly kneeled on the floor. “I won’t do that again. Please don’t ask your dad to kick us out. Melanie and I can’t live without your dad.”
It was Joel’s first time seeing Nicola act so submissively. A mixture of emotions filled him at that moment. After all, they had been married for over ten years. What was more, she was the mother of his daughter. Just as he was about to pull Nicola up, his phone rang.
The minute he saw the incoming call notification, he answered it as he walked. After learning the news, his chest began to ache in excruciating pain.
Once the call ended, he walked to Nicola and kicked her down. “You vicious woman, I thought your intention of ruining Cate’s reputation previously was your worst doing. I didn’t expect you guys from the Wicks family to hurt her too!”
After getting kicked to the ground, Nicola was dazed. Melanie was so terrified that she did not dare to move at all. “Dad, you’re crazy. Why did you kick Mom?”
“Joel, you kicked me? You actually kicked me?” Nicola’s eyes reddened, and she almost went mad.
“Not only did I kick you, but I’m also going to divorce you,” Joel said furiously, “The gardener who worked for our family has admitted that it was Brody who paid him to tamper with the brakes in Cate’s car with the intention of killing Cate. Brody is close to Fergus. Who else would do such a thing except for the Wicks family?”
“I didn’t do it.” Nicola clutched Joel’s hand and began to weep innocently. “Because of Brody, you’re ruining our relationship which we’ve developed for more than ten years? Who knew who Cate has offended out there?”
“Enough. Stop pretending. You’ve been disgusted by her since she came to Canberra, and you’ve always thought of ways to trick her. I’m definitely going to divorce you.” Joel pushed Nicola away and then called the security officer to drag her out. As for Melanie, he asked the bodyguard to send her back to the Yule household straight away.
Joel managed to give a small smile in the ward. “It finally dawned on me what kind of a vicious woman I’ve been keeping by my side. She’s just terrifying.”
Cate kept quiet.
Deep down, she thought that since Nicola could easily get Fergus to kill her, then her mother could have encountered the same situation back then.
It was not until today that Joel became aware of the vicious streak in Nicola. He probably had never suspected Nicola of having something to do with her mother’s death.
“Don’t worry, Cate. I’m dead set on divorcing her this time.” After speaking to Cate seriously, Joel went home and began dealing with the matters regarding his divorce.
Wesley said, “Your dad won’t be able to divorce her.”
“Yeah.” Cate felt the same. “Nevermind the fact that the Yule family and the Wicks family have worked together for years, Melanie is Elder Young Master Lyons’s girlfriend. The Lyons family won’t accept a lady from a broken family. Just because of this alone, my grandparents and everyone else in the Yule family will surely disapprove of their divorce.”
A look of pity crossed Wesley’s face. “So this time…”
“It’s impossible to defeat enemies just once.” Cate dropped her eyes. The only possibility of the Yule family approving of Joel and Nicola’s divorce would be when Melanie was no longer Shaun’s girlfriend.
…
Late at night.
In the desolate village.
Rosabella ran for her life, trying to get away from the village. These days, she had been tortured by the disgusting old man day and night, almost going insane.
“Stop running, b*tch!” Behind her was a fierce old man who kept going after her with a stick.
Just as the man almost caught up to her, a van suddenly stopped right in front of Rosabella. Someone from the van promptly pulled her in.
The car traveled farther from the man, and he was ultimately left behind. Rosabella felt that everything was like a dream.
She had finally fled. She no longer had to do the laundry and cook, nor would she have to endure hunger and cold. She would not be raped anymore either.
It was Cate and Shaun who caused her to end up in this state!
“Are you Rosabella?” A man in the car suddenly gazed at her with disgust.
“You know me?” Rosabella got a terrible shock.
“Someone wants to see you.”
Five hours later, Rosabella was taken to a strange place with her eyes blindfolded.
“Where’s this? Who are you guys?”
“You don’t have to know who I am. All you need to know is that I can assist you in taking revenge on Cate and Shaun.”
A man’s charming voice sounded beside her.
Rosabella was momentarily stunned. She began to be overwhelmed with resentment. “Really? But Shaun’s status is out of the ordinary.”
“Now that I’ve found you, I already have everything figured out. I’ll get you a new identity.”
“Okay.” Rosabella agreed without hesitation.
After being put in a sorry state, she had long since been smoldering with rage. Considering that she had suffered so much, she wanted to take revenge and pay them back with interest.
…
Canberra, at night.
9:30 p.m. The Lyons family’s manor.
As night fell, Shaun walked into the living room. He casually took off his suit and passed it to the servant beside him. His gaze settled on Old Madam Lyons, who was waiting for him on the couch.
“You haven’t been home for a few days already. It seems difficult to see you now,” Old Madam Lyons taunted Shaun.
“Melanie comes to accompany you every day, doesn’t she?” Shaun teased Old Madam Lyons and sat beside her. She was dressed in a dark blue vest and blouse. Her deep-set eyes were always sharp enough to observe everything.
“It’s good that you know it. She doesn’t come here with the sole intention of accompanying me. She wants to see you,” Old Madam Lyons said with annoyance, “She’s quite pitiful. Her family has been peaceful all this while, but Joel now insists on getting a divorce after his illegitimate daughter came back. Is he senile? How could he divorce his wife just like that?”
Shaun touched his chin. “Tsk, it looks like Melanie has played a trick on you by persuading you into taking her side.”
“Does she need to persuade me? I’ve seen a lot of dirty tricks used by wealthy families.” Old Madam Lyons sighed. “Just like your dad and mom’s divorce, I strongly disapproved of it.”
