“Well, why do you care then?”
She took a deep breath as she really did not want to argue with him. After all, the distance between them grew further after every argument. However, she could not help retaliating after hearing the stupid words that came out of his mouth.
Cate slammed the door behind her, feeling exhausted.
She could not imagine how sad Charity would be to learn that her mother had died.
The next day.
Mireya called again while Cate was eating breakfast. “Cate, Uncle Boris died of a heart attack this morning.”
Clang.
The spoon she was holding fell into the bowl.
“When I went out to get Uncle Boris breakfast this morning, Thomas came around and told him about Aunty Jennifer’s death. Uncle Boris had a heart attack on the spot and was rushed to emergency care. The doctor said Uncle Boris had lost the will to live.” Mireya began crying.
“I’ll be right there.”
Cate rose to her feet.
Shaun grabbed her hand. “Where are you going? Sit down and have breakfast.”
She forcefully peeled her hand from his and yelled at him with teary eyes, “Uncle Boris is dead! Thomas went to the hospital and told him about Aunty Jennifer’s death. The couple loved each other with all their hearts. That idiot Thomas is to be blamed for this. It’s all because of you. Why did you help such a person? Nothing bad would’ve happened if he had gone to prison a long time ago.”
Shaun’s handsome face froze.
“Are you happy now? Charity’s imprisoned for life and both her parents are dead. Finally, your beloved Sarah and Thomas are the only ones left in the Neeson family.”
Cate glared at him disappointedly and stomped off without looking back.
…
Mireya was arguing with the Neeson siblings at the ward when Cate arrived at the hospital after hurrying over.
“Move out of my way, Mireya. It’s only right that we retrieve our dad’s dead body. But if you really want to help…” Thomas teased and smiled wryly. “Be my woman and I guarantee that you can arrange my dad’s funeral.”
“Have you any conscience? Your dad has just died yet you’re laughing over here.” Mireya was enraged. “He wouldn’t have died if it weren’t for you.”
“How is that my fault? He would’ve found out or died sooner or later,” he replied, evidently unbothered. “I really don’t understand the point of being sad over that mistress. He certainly deserved that.”
“Thomas Neeson, you’re a scumbag. He still brought you into this world and raised you at the very least.”
“It’s his fault for always siding with Jennifer and her daughter. I’m already doing more than I need to by coming to retrieve his body today.”
“You’ll be struck by lightning!” Furious, she kicked him in the chest.
“How dare you do that to me? Stupid woman, I’ll torture you for sure!”
He raised his hand to hit the woman back.
Cate quickly shielded Mireya behind her and glared coldly at him. “Try hitting me. I’m carrying the great-grandchildren of the Lyons family. If you dare to hurt us, then you might probably have to step away from the presidential position that you’ve just taken over.”
Thomas froze for a split second before scoffing at her. “The Lyons family’s great-grandchildren? So what? My sister will have one too in no time.”
“Brother.” Sarah frowned before shaking her head at him.
“I’m telling the truth. This position belongs to you anyway and she was the one who stole your position. I think she should scram now that you’re back. You shouldn’t get in between Shaun and my sister’s happiness,” he said and gave a snort of contempt.
Cate replied coldly, “There’s no point telling me this. Say it to Shaun’s face if you dare.”
He glared murderously at the woman. “Am I wrong? Just look at how well Shaun is treating my younger sister! He helped me regain Neeson Corporation as soon as she returned and even facilitated a big business worth ten billion dollars for our company yesterday. Take a good look at your ugly face in the mirror. How could you compare to my sister with that horrendous face of yours?”
Mireya flew off the handle. “If Cate hadn’t been disfigured, she would look a thousand times more beautiful than that stupid sl*t.”
“Who are you calling a sl*t? Apologize to Sarah right now.”
Rodney, who had just entered the room and heard the last sentence, warned with an overcast face.
A cold smile spread across Mireya’s face. “Did I say something wrong? Why should I apologize? Did you hear what Thomas said to us earlier?”
“Young Master Snow, you’ve come at the right time. The two of them kept scolding my sister,” Thomas said right away, “Cate even humiliated us just because she’s pregnant. Mireya even kicked me. Look, the shoe print is still visible.”
Rodney looked at him before shifting his hateful gaze to the two women. “Apologize.”
This really enraged Mireya. “Rodney Snow, are you sick in the head? Do you believe any bullsh*t they say…”
Slap! He slapped her across the face.
Mireya froze entirely, while Cate was infuriated by that. “How dare you hit my friend…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mireya had already thrown herself at Rodney like a wild animal, biting and hitting him.
“How dare you slap me, you rascal?! You brainless prick, I’ve been wanting to punish you for a long time.” She pulled and tugged at his hair. He retaliated by pushing her away forcefully. In the end, she bit him on the face.
“You should eat more walnuts to strengthen your slow-witted brain. But I think it’s too late for you with your condition. I’ve already lost my job and am blacklisted now, so I’m not afraid of you anymore.”
Mireya was really enraged. She punched and kicked Rodney, messing up his shirt and hair. Even his face was full of teeth marks and fingerprints.
The rest of them watched on, stupefied.
Rodney, who had never been punched and kicked like this by a woman, spent a lot of effort struggling free from the relentless Mireya.
“You’re asking for death!”
He stomped toward her angrily, looking determined to destroy the woman.
Cate quickly ran forward to hug her friend tightly.
“Rodney!”
Shaun’s warning voice rang in the room all of a sudden. He positioned himself in front of his wife within seconds.
Fortunately, he had rushed to the scene after learning that Rodney was coming to the hospital as well. After all, Cate and Rodney had never seen eye-to-eye before and it would cause huge trouble if the two of them got into an argument.
“Shaun, why are you still helping them? Look at the state I’m in! It’s all because of Mireya Lynch!” Rodney bellowed.
“It was you who slapped Mireya first.” Cate glared at him with disgust.
“Because she called Sarah names. Besides, the two of you have been bullying Sarah and her brother since the start. I swear I’ll teach her a lesson today no matter what!” Rodney became furious the more he thought about it.
Mireya did not back off either. “I only did so because Thomas said Cate is ugly.”
“You said my wife is ugly?” Shaun threw an indifferent glance at Thomas.
The latter shuddered before saying with quivering lips, “I didn’t.”
Mireya snorted. “Not only did he call Cate ugly, he even said that she should give up the role of Mrs. Lyons now that his younger sister is back. He even boasted that Sarah would soon be pregnant with a Lyons baby too.”
“Mireya Lynch, stop bullshtting!” Thomas yelled. “Sarah, be my witness. I didn’t say any of that. Quite the contrary, the two of them called you a slt.”
“I heard that too,” Rodney said coldly.
“Sarah, I want to hear it from you.” Shaun shifted his gaze to Sarah.
She smiled helplessly. “Forget it, Rodney. Let bygones be bygones. The priority now is to send my dad to the funeral parlor. Miss Lynch, Mrs. Lyons, I’m really not in the mood to argue right now.”
