“Alright, your uncle has the final say on who he picks for the renovation, not you. Perhaps he’s easily convinced by his wife. Your words are worth sh*t in comparison.”
Haha, indeed, she had to convince the man later tonight.
Nathan frowned upon hearing that. “Your manners are horrifying. My uncle isn’t even married yet. We have a good relationship, and he normally agrees to anything I ask for.”
She smiled internally. “Sure, ask him to put you down as heir to his wealth and see if he agrees.”
“You’re out of your mind.” The man’s handsome face was red with rage. “No wonder Uncle Jeffery and Aunt Sally locked you up.
You certainly deserve it.”
His words triggered the hatred buried deep within her heart.
“Nathan, do you even hear yourself?”
“Am I wrong? You told the reporters that the Cox family locked you up and tortured you. But you look energetic and healthy to me, like you’ve been living well.
“Your presence is really unfortunate to the Cox family. Do you know that because of your accusations, Summit’s reputation has been destroyed and their stock price has dropped drastically? The company’s market value lost two billion dollars overnight.”
“The real unfortunate fact here is the fact that I previously fell for you.” Cate felt a strong urge to poke him in the eyes.
To prevent herself from being infuriated to death, she picked up her pace and walked straight ahead.
“Hang on.” He rushed forward to grab her wrist. “I’m getting engaged to Rosabella at the end of this month. You must attend the ceremony. It was you who ruined Summit’s reputation, so you’re responsible to save it.”
“Bullsh*t! Get out of my way. I can’t wait to see Summit going bankrupt. You betrayed our relationship yet you have the cheek to demand me to show up at your engagement party. Have you no shame?!” She cursed.
Nathan remained unperturbed. “We’re throwing the party on your grandmother’s 80th birthday. She’s loved you dearly since you were little. Her health is deteriorating and who knows how much time she has left? Do you still not want to attend?”
Her entire body tensed up as she glared at him murderously. “Despicable!”
“You’ve made your bed, now lie on it.” His eyes overflowed with indifference.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be there.”
‘I’ll be there with your Uncle Shaun. I want to destroy you and your mean fiancée completely!
‘I want to train your uncle to be 100% obedient to me. Rosabella won’t be able to join the household as long as I disagree! In your face!’
Cate stomped off angrily.
Nathan shook his head helplessly at the woman’s receding silhouette. Then, he walked toward Wesley’s villa.
The latter was inspecting the sketch on the lounge chair beneath the tree. He frowned and subtly hid the sketch upon noticing his nephew’s arrival.
“Uncle, are you going to start renovating your villa soon?” Nathan had noticed the sketch before it was put away.
“Did you hear it from your grandma?”
“Yup,” Nathan replied with a smile. “You’re too occupied to deal with this. Let Summit sort it out for you. Rosabella is a designer herself. Give her a chance.”
Wesley massaged his temples as he rose to his feet.
“Nathan, I know a thing or two about the designers in Summit. Their design style is luxurious but too traditional and reserved for my preference. I’ve lived abroad for too long and prefer certain styles.”
“Well, you can communicate your desires to Summit. Their company’s reputation has been greatly affected recently. Uncle, can you please help them out…”
“No.”
Wesley waved his hand dismissively in the air. “I can agree to anything apart from this. I have high standards for my living quarters. I’ve met Rosabella before. Honestly, she doesn’t have the experience and knows nothing about the latest materials and high-tech appliances. She’ll ruin my house.”
Nathan felt slightly embarrassed. It was his fiancée they were discussing, after all.
“But she did pretty well in the Culture and Technology Center project…”
“Don’t forget that she successfully won the bid only because I pulled some strings.” A look of displeasure washed over Wesley’s face as he talked about this. “Besides, you should be grateful that President Sawyer didn’t expose us or we would have been in big trouble.”
Nathan felt his heart sink. “Fine, it’s no big deal if you disagree. Oh right, is that a sketch you’re holding? Which designer are you going for? I’m just asking out of curiosity and nothing else.”
“Joseph Talton, he’s a friend of mine from Perth. He opened a franchise here in Melbourne.” Wesley handed over the sketch to his nephew.
‘This is created by one of his designers. She produced a sketch for the entire 3,000 square meters villa in less than half an hour, not to mention getting every detail perfectly down to my preferences. I’m very satisfied.”
“Cate?”
Nathan froze for a split second when he noticed the initials at the bottom right of the sketch. He recalled bumping into her by the gate earlier. Apparently, she had been here to design his uncle’s villa.
“Yup, that’s her.”
“Uncle, you can’t hire her,” he said awkwardly, “She’s the younger daughter of the Cox family I told you before. She used to be my girlfriend but she has become fairly disreputable. Not only did she plagiarize the work of another, but she also tarnished her own parents’ reputation.”
This took Wesley by surprise. No wonder he thought the name was familiar.
Upon remembering the woman’s kind and polite demeanor, he could not help but frown.
“I don’t think she needs to plagiarize others, given her talents. I’ve developed a good judgment from dealing with all sorts of people in the business world. She’s a rare talent, and I don’t think she’s disreputable. Quite the contrary, Nathan, I think you hold prejudice against her…”
“You really don’t understand her…”
“Don’t you think it’s strange? When we spoke over the phone in the past, you couldn’t stop complimenting her but now you’re disgusted by her. Did she wrong you somehow? It’s you who betrayed her first if I remember correctly.”
Startled, Nathan had no words to refute the unexpected response.
“Similarly, you keep boasting about Rosabella’s talents, but I just can’t see her capability. If it wasn’t for the fact that she’s the successor to the Cox family, I wouldn’t cast a second glance at a woman like her.”
Wesley took the sketch from his nephew’s hands and headed straight for the door.
The man was already long gone by the time Nathan regained his composure.
