It was just that he never expected Cate to drive a wedge until the Snow family would raise a hand against their precious Rodney.
What on earth did she do?
Was that woman insisting on going against him?
Cate went to Wesley’s villa straight away.
As there were reporters who took pictures of her and Logan last time, she did not dare to meet Wesley in public.
“Cathy, you look like you really need some rest.” Wesley served her a plate of pasta. “I’m guessing you haven’t had a proper meal after knowing Logan is in trouble.”
“You’re right, I am hungry. I wouldn’t have noticed if you didn’t mention it.”
Cate looked at the piping hot plate of pasta. It felt like something was blocking her throat.
Whenever she felt helpless, Shaun, the man who said he loved her, kept hurting her. Wesley was the only one who gave her warmth. He was like a harbor where she could hide from the wind.
She quickly ate the pasta.
“Eat slowly. ” Wesley poured a glass of warm milk for her. “I know Logan is important to you. He’s loyal.”
“That’s right. I have to save him. It’ll only be more dangerous with each passing day if he stays at Liona. Shaun and the rest will surely torture him. H e may not even get through tonight.” Cate tightened her grip on the fork.
“I’ll help you, ” Wesley suddenly said. Cate was stunned.
Wesley lowered his head and said, “Actually, I have some personal connections with Charlie after working in Canberra all these years. He’s always wanted the formulas of our company’s best-selling supplements. I can make a deal with them and have the Campos family save Logan.”
“No.” Cate shook her head in a hurry. “ If you give those formulas to the Campos family, your company’s profits will be cut in half. Besides, a huge corporation like Campos Corporation won’t even give your company a chance to survive.”
Wesley gazed at Cate affectionately. He said tenderly, “Compared to the company, I’d rather not see you so upset.”
Cate was startled.
Although she knew that Wesley loved her, she never thought that he would casually sacrifice his company’s future for her sake.
“Wesley, I’m not worth it… ” she said in a low voice. She was helpless but sincere.
“Why aren’t you worth it? You’re the director of a company that has a net worth of loo billion dollars, Joel’s only daughter, and Hazle Group’s head director. You have so many identities. The number o f men who want to marry you can even form a queue, yet here you are saying that you’re not worth it.” Wesley smiled. “On the other hand, I think you’re the one who’s out of my league.”
“Stop joking around. Golden Corporation’s ranking has already entered the top 50 megacorporations of the whole nation. The media always does coverage on you, the young up-and-coming president. Many
daughters of wealthy families want to get married to you…”
“But I don’t want to marry someone whom I don’t love, ” Wesley interrupted her. “To me, I don’t want to make compromises when it comes to marriage.”
Cate was at a loss for words.
“I’ll contact Charlie right now…” Wesley stood up.
“Wait. ” Cate stopped him. She bit her lip. “ I want to look for Shaun and talk it out with him again.”
“Do you think there’s any use talking to him?” Wesley disapproved of the idea. A hint of sadness flashed across his eyes. “Cathy, are you afraid that you’ll owe me too much? Or do you have uncontrollable feelings for Shaun again after spending time with him during this period?”
“It’s not that.” Cate could not bear to hurt him. She denied it straight away, saying, “Wesley, the situation isn’t that dire to the point that we need to use your company to save Logan. You have t o think about it. There’ll still be confrontations between me and Shaun in the future. If we play all our cards now, how will we compete against Liona afterward?”
“But…”
“I have my own ways. I accept your good intentions. At least I know you’re the one who treats me the best. ” Cate stood up. “It’s late, I have to go.”
“Cathy… ” Wesley hugged her from behind all of a sudden. His voice was filled with agony. “I don’t care how things are between you and Shaun right now. I’ll just turn a blind eye to it. If I don’t think about it, I won’t feel suffocated. But after everything ends, can you promise… to marry me?”
“…Wesley, this is unfair to you.” Cate felt conflicted. She thought she did not deserve Wesley.
“I understand. In order to let Shaun fall in love with you again, you must’ve… slept with him.” Pain
flashed across Wesley’s eyes, but he still had a smile on his face. “In this time and age, many women aren’t virgins anymore when they get married. Everyone has a few ex-boyfriends, and some even had abortions. I’m not that conservative. What I want is your future, not your past.”
“…Okay.”
After a long silence, Cate finally nodded her head. “As long as you’re willing to marry me, I’ ll get married to you.”
In this lifetime, she owed a lot to this man who had silently been watching over her. She could no longer disappoint him.
After leaving Wesley’s residence, Cate dialed Liam’s number. “One of my men is in Shaun’s hands. I want to go to Liona tomorrow morning, but I must guarantee that I can get out of there smoothly. I want to borrow Suzie.”
Liam caught on immediately. “You want to threaten Shaun with Suzie?”
“Mm, Shaun doesn’t know about my relationship with Suzie. I have no other choice.” Cate smiled bitterly.
“You’re Suzie’s mother. You’ll surely not hurt her, but Shaun may not think the same,” Liam said worriedly, “You’ll completely ruin your relationship with Shaun this way. Not only that, he’ll forbid me from letting you meet Suzie in the future.”
“That’s why I’m in a hurry to meet Logan to clear his name. ” Cate narrowed her eyes. “Only in this way will Shaun stop targeting me.”
“Are you sure you can obtain evidence?” Liam was doubtful.
”I can. No plan is ever completely flawless. ”
At 3:00 a.m., she received a call from Austin. ”Miss Cox, I’ve arrived in Canberra.”
“Go pick Suzie up in the morning. Bring her to play for the whole day.” Cate assigned him a task.
“Just like that?” Austin was stunned.
“Yes. Don’t let anybody recognize you except Suzie.”
“Okay.”
6:30 a.m.
When Cate was on the way to Liona, she called Shaun.
“You’re finally contacting me.” Shaun’s cold, hoarse laugh could be heard. “I thought you didn’t want your lackey anymore.”
“I want to meet Logan. I’ll arrive at Liona in 40 minutes,” Cate said.
“Are you dreaming? What right do you have to make a deal with me?” Shaun said harshly, “ Cate, I’ve underestimated you. You went to the Snow family to drive a wedge between them.
You’ve screwed Rodney over badly. I can’t even contact him up till now. He’s been locked up by the Snow family.”
“I didn’t expect Elder Snow to be so efficient.” Cate grinned. This was the only good news she heard in two days.
“So it was you, ” Shaun said coldly, “You had someone kidnap Sarah and then looked for the Snow family to deal with Rodney. I’ve never seen such a despicable, vicious woman like you.”
Cate chuckled. Of course, he had never seen one because his eyes were blind.
“Why are you laughing?” Shaun was annoyed by her chuckle.
