Logan lamented. “Boss, Sarah has been with so many men. I don’t think I’ll be able to stand it if I’m a man, so it’s quite impressive that Shaun Lyons can take it. But Sarah is really amazing. She has to accompany Lucifer on one hand and Shaun on the other. She must have quite a lot of energy.”
“Alright. That’s enough.”
Cate frowned.
“Don’t be too upset. He’s just a disgusting scumbag.” Logan thought that she was upset.
“You’re overthinking. What you said made me feel disgusted since the scumbag kissed me last night. Go buy a box of contraceptives for me…”
Cate immediately threw him some cash.
Logan blinked and shifted himself away from her.
“What are you doing?” Cate asked.
“No… Boss, I heard that Lucifer’s private life is very messy. There are a lot of sick women over there. Lucifer got with Sarah, Sarah got with Shaun, and Shaun got with you…” Logan had a mix of emotions. “You should be careful.”
“…”
Cate almost choked. If not for the fact that she was worried about Joel waiting for her, she would immediately go to the hospital for a check-up.
“Send me to the hospital for a check-up after we’re done.”
…
Forty minutes later.
The car arrived at Yule villa.
When Cate entered, the secretary, Walter Kurtz, was reporting the company’s situation to Joel.
“The company’s reputation has been declining recently, and Campos Corporation has terminated many projects with Yule Corporation. The shareholders are very worried and hesitating on whether they should bring Damien and his daughter back to the company.”
Joel sneered. “How dare that father and daughter show up at the company. Aren’t they afraid of others criticizing and laughing at Yule Corporation?”
“What the shareholders mean is that the foreign branch can be given to them. Let them be in charge if and everyone will feel more comfortable. With that, Yule Corporation will be able to go further as well.”
“What do you think?” Joel turned to look at him.
Walter smiled awkwardly. “Don’t ask me. I’m just a mere secretary.”
“Is that so? I don’t think you’re just a mere secretary.” Cate walked over with a cold smile and eyes so sharp that they could make people fearful.
Even Joel was slightly surprised. It had only been a few days since they last met, but his daughter now had more of a superior presence.
“Eldest Young Miss, I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Walter smiled while he looked at the young man behind Cate.
“Hi.”
Logan called out and instantly restrained Walter by tying him up with a rope.
“Who are you? Let go of me.” At his wit’s end, Walter struggled with all his energy. “Eldest Young Miss, what are you doing?”
Joel coughed into his fist and said with disappointment, “Walter, how kind of you to be so persistent in putting poison in my meals every day. And for these past two years, you’ve leaked all my personal schedule, so no matter what hospital I go to for a check-up, you have been able to pay the doctor off in advance. Tell me, who bribed you?”
“President Yule, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Walter feigned composure and said with a bitter face, “I’ve been with you for ten years, and I’ve always been loyal to you.”
“That’s right. It’s been ten years.” Cate nodded.
“Although a secretary’s salary is only 20 thousand dollars a month, my dad always gives you a million for your year-end bonus. He also gave you a house, a car, and sent your two children to the best schools, yet this is how you repay him. Walter, you can deny it, but we have records of you poisoning Dad. You probably don’t know, but we’ve installed hidden cameras at every corner of the house.”
Cate then took out a miniature surveillance camera from the display case in the living room.
Walter’s face turned pale.
“I’ll give you another chance. Who instructed you?” Cate’s beautiful eyes were cold.
“No… no one instructed me. I did it myself,” Walter mumbled and shook his head. “I hate Chairman Yule. I… I hate that he’s so stingy with his salary every year.”
“I’ve given you, a secretary, so much, and you still think it’s too little.” Joel was so pissed that he coughed while holding his chest.
“Dad, don’t get worked up. You have to understand that some people will only get hungrier the more you feed them. It’s only normal that a man can never be content.”
Cate turned to say to Walter, “Bring him in. I’ll leave him in your hands.”
“You… What are you going to do to me?” Walter looked at the approaching Logan and turned pale.
However, Logan simply dragged him into a bedroom, ignoring him.
In a short while, miserable and brutal cries sounded.
Joel trembled as he listened. “Cate, you…”
“Dad, if you don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll always take advantage of you.” With a smile, Cate helped him to sit down.
“No, he’ll have to be sent to a police station later. I’m afraid…”
“Don’t worry. No one will find out about it,” Cate said. “I only told Logan to hit him at a few pressure points. It’ll feel like he’s been stabbed by a thousand needles, and the pain is worse than death, but he cannot move. The more he moves, the deeper the needles will penetrate, and the more painful it’ll be.”
“…”
Joel could not help but shiver. “Where did you learn this? And that young man from before…”
“Dad, I finally understand after all these years. We can only protect ourselves if we’re ruthless.” Cate smiled at him. “We can treat the people who are good to us well, but there’s no need to be merciful to ungrateful people.”
“You’re right.”
Seeing how she looked, Joel once again lamented at how much she had changed. However, that was understandable. She had suffered so much, and as her father, he should become like her too.
Half an hour later, Logan dragged a dying Walter out.
“Have you thought about it? I’ve checked your bank account. Since two years ago, your account has increased by an extra 10 million every year. Not only that but before that, your account has always had an additional 100 thousand, and then 200 thousand, and then 300 thousand… The number gets bigger and bigger. If I were to guess, I’d say you’ve been embezzling funds, but someone found out and threatened you to poison my dad. Am I correct?”
Cate bent down and grinned at him.
“Y-yes.” Walter looked at her like she was the devil. “It was Nicola Wicks. She didn’t expect President Yule to survive the car accident, so she told me to put slow-acting poison in his meals. As long as President Yule was dead, Ms… Ms. Yule could take over Yule Corporation justifiably.”
“That b*tch. That ruthless woman.”
Joel’s body trembled in anger. “I’ve lived for decades and seen many vicious people, but I’ve never seen someone as vicious as her.”
“Dad, you’re so naive.” Cate shook her head calmly and looked at Walter, saying, “I have a job for you. Meet with Nicola in private and get the evidence that she told you to poison him.”
Walter immediately wilted.
“I know Nicola has evidence of your embezzlement, but you embezzled from Yule Corporation. As long as Chairman Yule doesn’t pursue it, the evidence will be useless.”
Cate bent down in front of him. Although her tone was gentle, it was one that could make people fearful.
“If you don’t cooperate with us, we’ll send you straight to the police station and check the company’s illegal accounts over the years. Since you’ll be charged with poisoning and embezzlement, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get out of jail for the rest of your life. If you were only instructed to poison someone and didn’t cause death, you’d only be locked up for two years at most. Think about your wife and two children.”
Walter’s eyes trembled slightly.
Cate continued to push. “Let me remind you that your wife is in her thirties. If you’re in jail for too long, she might take your money and remarry. By then, the children will no longer be yours. Won’t that be a waste of your life?”
“Okay, I’ll help you get the evidence,” Walter said with his teeth clenched.
“Sure, but you have to eat this.” Cate took out a pill. “I also have to be cautious in case you betray me. I’ll give you the antidote as soon as you finish your task.”
Logan spoke up, “This drug is very poisonous, and it’ll kill you if you don’t get the antidote within a week. Of course, a doctor can treat it, but it’ll take a month. You won’t last that long.”
Walter looked at Cate’s beautiful and delicate face, which was unnerving at that moment.
“I won’t betray you. One week is enough for me to get the evidence.”
