He really would have misunderstood if not for the recording.
Right this moment, he tried analyzing his behavior with a cool head. It did seem like he always tended to side with Sarah every time there was a conflict between her and Cate.
Why?
Cate was his wife.
He should believe his wife.
It seemed like he should keep his distance from Sarah in the future.
…
The following morning.
After breakfast, Cate walked out of the walk-in wardrobe in a long black dress.
Shaun, also dressed in a black suit, had been waiting by the door for some time. “Are you attending Boris Neeson’s funeral? Let me give you a lift.”
She threw him a cold glance. He felt aggrieved but flashed a smile nonetheless. “I’m not going there to see Sarah. I just want to make sure you’re not being bullied again.”
“You’ve finally said something decent,” she teased.
“…”
He was speechless.
When had he not been decent in speech?
Forget it, it was worth being teased if it made his wife feel better.
“Let’s go. I think you should apologize to Uncle Boris.”
Cate sighed softly. She did not want to argue with him and neither did she blame him for being unable to see the truth. After all, Sarah was not only his childhood playmate but also his ex-girlfriend. On the other hand, the two of them had only known each other for less than a year. Besides, Sarah was a crafty woman. She had no choice but to gradually reveal the sly woman’s true colors.
“Me? Apologize?” He appeared surprised.
“Shouldn’t you? Thomas would’ve been in prison a long time ago if not for you. He wouldn’t have had the chance to provoke Uncle Boris to death.”
“I…”
Sure. He should probably go and apologize.
…
Funeral parlor.
Cate went in to give her condolences. Thomas and Sarah were standing by the coffin, both dressed in all black.
Sarah’s eyes were swollen with tears. She lifted her head to greet them. “Shaunic, Young Madam, thanks for coming.”
Shaun nodded before turning to Cate. “Let’s sit down somewhere if you’re tired.”
Sarah’s face froze.
He did not ask how she was doing despite the obvious exhaustion on her face yet he was worried about Cate being tired.
Cate glanced at the coffin and noticed the urn positioned next to it. “That’s…”
“That’s my mom’s ashes,” Sarah said apologetically, “I was busy sorting out my dad’s stuff at the hospital yesterday. They had already cremated my mom by the time I returned to the funeral parlor.”
Cate almost choked on anger.
Not only did Aunty Jennifer die all of a sudden, but she was also simply turned into an urn without even a proper goodbye.
“It’s not Sarah’s fault,” Rodney said as he approached. “She tried her best. Besides, she already sorted the gravesites. Aunty Jennifer and Uncle Boris will be buried in the same spot.”
Cate took a deep breath.
Well, at the very least, Aunty Jennifer and Uncle Boris would be buried next to each other so they would not be alone.
She stepped forward to give her condolences. Sarah, as the family member, joined in to express her gratitude.
Both of them lowered their heads to the ground. Sarah whispered in a voice soft enough just for them both to hear. “Do you really think it’s Jennifer’s ashes in there? Hah, I’ve already flushed hers down the toilet. What’s inside that urn belongs to a random dog.”
Cate’s body was visibly shaking at this point.
She lifted her head, only to see the sad look on Sarah’s face. It was as if she had not just said something completely evil.
How could a person be this treacherous?
Cate knew better than to fall into the trap.
However, she could not help but push the other woman to the ground.
Sarah hit her head on the coffin and tears came rolling down her cheeks. “Young Madam, did I say something wrong to offend you again?”
“Cate, what are you doing?!” Rodney dashed forward to help Sarah to her feet.
“Cate, this is too much.” Chester also walked over to help Sarah.
Shaun was flustered but knew Cate was not an unreasonable person. “Cate, what’s the matter?”
“What else? She’s gone mad. Shaun, bring her out of here right now or I might actually hit her,” Rodney shouted.
“Sarah Neeson, I’ve never seen a woman as cruel as you. You’ll be punished sooner or later.” Cate held her hands into fists and stomped off.
She could not do much today with all these people protecting that sly woman.
However, one day, Sarah would have to pay for all the horrible things she had done.
“Crazy woman! Shaun, don’t bring her along next time. I don’t want to see that woman again.” Rodney was extremely disgusted by Cate at this point.
“Rodney, don’t say that. She didn’t do that on purpose,” Sarah said, holding on to the man’s arm. “Based on my professional experience, she’s probably suffering from antenatal depression.”
“Depression?” Shaun was taken aback.
“Yeah, a pregnant woman goes through fluctuating hormonal changes. 10% of them would feel anxious, suspicious, have bad tempers, and their relationship with their other half would also become tense.”
Rodney exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, I think Cate has all of these symptoms.”
Shaun felt his head hurt. He had yet to recover from his own illness. It would be terrible if Cate had depression too.
“I’ll go after her.”
By the time he rushed to the door, Cate had sped past his eyes in the car.
…
An hour later.
Cate slowly walked through the prison gate.
Several moments later, Charity, who was dressed in a green prison uniform, showed up with her feet in shackles. Her hair had been cut short. She looked thin and tired.
“Cate, it’s you. I thought it was my parents.” Charity smiled upon seeing her.
