One and a half hours later.
Joel and Cate went to the Snow family’s villa together.
The Snow family had just finished their dinner. In addition to Old Master Snow, his sons and grandchildren were also there.
Even Nathan Snow, who was going to run for prime minister next year, was present.
“Joel, what brings you here at this hour?” Old Master Snow asked with a grin.
“Old Master Snow, I have an urgent matter to talk to you about.” A look of exasperation washed over Joel’s face. “If I had another choice, I wouldn’t have brought my daughter here. Jason, considering we’re acquaintances, I hope you’ll keep an eye on your son.”
Jason was stunned. He had two sons. “You’re referring to…”
“This afternoon, Rodney came to Hackett Institute and caused trouble for me.” Cate turned on her phone and showed him a video. “This is the footage I got from the surveillance camera. Take a look at it. He crashed into me and destroyed my car.”
The other members of the Snow family came over to watch the video on the phone. All of them saw Rodney pulling Cate’s hair while dragging her out of the car. He even strangled her after he hit her car. From the footage, they could see that he brought a lot of people along as well.
Old Master Snow, Jason, and the rest turned grim in an instant.
The Snow family was faced with a critical issue at this moment. If such a video spread to the public, Nathan would probably be disqualified from running for prime minister next year.
“What actually happened?” Jason soon pulled himself together. “There must be a reason behind this.”
“President Snow, given that you’re a reasonable person and also an outsider, I’m going to be frank with you. Sarah was kidnapped yesterday. It happened that the person who got caught was my bodyguard. Because of that, Rodney was convinced that it was my doing.
“In fact, I find this incident strange. I was in Hobart the past few days. When I came back, Rodney crashed into me with his car and even tried to seize me to… get his people to force themselves on me. ”
Jason’s face darkened at once. It was even darker than charcoal now.
Every generation of the Snow family was strict with themselves and had reputations as clean as a whistle. Little did Jason expect that he would have such a cocky son.
Cate continued helplessly, “I tried to reason with him, but he continued to suspect that I was the one behind Sarah’s kidnapping. I wouldn’t mind if he wanted to call the police, but he must have evidence. Even the person whom he caught didn’t claim that I gave the instructions.
“I wanted to have a word with Young Master Snow, but he couldn’t be bothered about me. All he did was criticize and punch me. Honestly, I don’t think my bodyguard would kidnap Sarah. There might be a misunderstanding regarding this issue.”
“Miss Cox, is it true that you didn’t kidnap Sarah?” Old Master Snow suddenly asked with a deep voice. “As far as I know, you have a personal vendetta against Sarah.”
“Elder Snow, if I wanted to kidnap Sarah, I would’ve asked my bodyguard to do it. I didn’t have to hire someone else to do it.” Cate gave a bitter laugh. “What’s more, I’ve been on friendly
terms with Shaun these days. We even went on a trip together two days ago. Why would I be bothered to kidnap Sarah and cause my relationship with Shaun to turn sour?”
The Snow family was smart. After hearing Cate’s words, they realized that she was right.
Besides that, Old Master Snow still remembered that Shaun had come to pick her up in person the other day.
Joel said with a snort, “My daughter wouldn’t kidnap Sarah. On the other hand, Sarah is extremely wicked. Despite knowing that Shaun and Cathy were already married back then, she still approached Shaun and shamelessly seduced him. After the two of them were caught by the reporters, a lot of people criticized Sarah as the mistress.
“But Shaun made Cate announce that they were bound by a marriage contract and they had gotten a divorce due to his illness. She was also forced to say that he was truly in love with Sarah. When in fact, Shaun and Cate only divorced last month. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the registry office and check their date of divorce. ”
Upon hearing this, many women in the Snow family were indignant about it.
Wendy was astonished. “This means that Sarah has been the mistress during these two years. I didn’t expect Shaun to be playing the field. He has gone too far.”
“Sarah was his first love and also his childhood sweetheart. I only have myself to blame for falling for someone who was secretly loving someone else.”
Cate said dejectedly, “You guys might not know that Shaun was really planning to marry Sarah before this, but… I guess you all saw how the police had taken Sarah away during their wedding. ”
“Yeah. Sarah didn’t marry Shaun in the end, and I heard… She was having an affair with another man?” Jason coughed lightly and replied
“Yes. When Sarah was in a relationship with Shaun, she was having an affair with a drug addict who was also a foreigner. If I’m not mistaken, they knew each other from her time overseas. Every week, Sarah would go to his apartment and sleep with him. The person who murdered the man hasn’t been found. Previously, the police suspected Sarah, but they didn’t find any evidence incriminating her.”
This statement astounded everyone in the Snow family.
After all, they were under no illusions that Rodney had been protecting Sarah in secret.
Although Sarah’s tarnished reputation had caused an uproar lately, it was just a rumor, after all. The specific details of the incident were unknown.
“Are you sure that you’re telling the truth?” A somber look washed over Jessica’s face.
“Actually, Young Master Snow is aware of this matter as well, but he treats Sarah as a goddess. Sarah probably fooled these men by claiming that she had been forced to do those things.”
Cate spoke in a weak tone, “When a man has been bewitched by a woman, he’ll believe whatever she says. What’s more, the fact that Shaun chose not to marry her in the end proves that I’m not lying. Hardly any man can accept being betrayed by their woman.”
The Snow family remained silent. The other day, Shaun had said that he would rearrange the wedding sometime later. However, it was not mentioned anymore. When the Lyons family was asked about it, they were vague about it.
When Joel realized that his daughter was almost done, he said coldly, “ I came here to tell all of you these things considering the relationship between us over the years. Also, I understand Old Master Snow’s character. I hope that all of you will keep an eye on Rodney. I showed you the video about his illegal and arrogant behavior to remind you that if this video is in the hands of those with ill intentions, I’m afraid Nathan won’t be able to run for prime minister next year.”
With an elegant and handsome face, Nathan asked nervously, “Brother Joel, the footage…”
“I’ve asked the security guard in the neighborhood to delete it,” Joel responded in a generous manner.
The Snow family let out a sigh of relief upon hearing it. They also expressed their gratitude toward Joel and Cate.
“Thanks, Joel. ” Old Master Snow then said with a sigh, “It must’ve frightened you, Cate. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a watchful eye on Rodney and teach him a lesson on your behalf.”
“Thank you, Elder Snow,” Cate said earnestly, “Actually, when Mireya tricked Rodney previously, the outsiders had talked about the Snow family but you guys didn’t make a fuss about it. I can tell that you guys are reasonable people.”
The Snow family was gratified to hear it. Then, Wendy said, “Miss Cox, you’re quite a pitiful person. It was very immature of Rodney. In fact, I don’t like Sarah as well, but it seems that Rodney has been bewitched by her and can’t live without her.”
Cate sighed. “When one loves someone without complaining, aren’t they just the same as someone who has been bewitched? Looking at it from another perspective, we can say that Young Master Snow is an affectionate person. Sadly, he fell for the wrong person. If he meets someone who cherishes him, I’m sure the woman will cherish their relationship.”
“You’re right.”
Wendy nodded in satisfaction. After all, Rodney was her son. She did not wish to hear an outsider belittling him. Cate’s words gave her a huge sense of contentment. “Unfortunately, we feel that Sarah treats him as a backup but he doesn’t seem aware of it.”
“Aunty Wendy, Sarah is a clever person. Now that Young Master Snow won’t be inheriting Snow Corporation, she won’t accept him unless she’s desperate.”
Cate darted a profound glance at Nathan. “Of course, if Sarah and Shaun still haven’t gotten married next year and Uncle Nathan becomes the new prime minister, you’ll see Sarah going all out to marry into the Snow family.”
The Snow family was startled.
Upon realizing that they had caused quite a commotion, Joel said, “It’s already late. We’ll leave first.”
“You’re leaving just like that? Why don’t you stay and have coffee with us?” Jason rose to his feet.
“No, we’re going to investigate the matter regarding Cate’s bodyguard to find out who’s secretly framing Cathy. We must find out the truth.” Joel waved his hand before he left with Cate.
After they left, Old Master Snow asked with a deep voice, “Do you think what Joel and his daughter said is true?”
Jason frowned. “I think… Cate was telling the truth. Also, Joel is a gentleman.”
“Yeah.” Wendy nodded as well. “Otherwise, Joel wouldn’t have been cuckolded by Nicola who had been having an affair with Damien for over ten years. Besides that, I’ve been fond of Cate and Mireya since the last time I met them. They’re unlike those people who have bad intentions. Well,
onlookers see most of the game. Rodney and Shaun are both involved in the situation, so they’re not clear about it. They claim that Cate kidnapped Sarah, but when you think about it carefully, the incident is questionable.”
“I suspect that Sarah was the one who staged the kidnapping incident by herself,” Jessica suddenly said, “By the look of things, Sarah is even hoping to marry Shaun. According to the recent news, Shaun and Cate have gotten back together, so it’s possible that Sarah is framing Cate out of anxiety.”
