Did Nathan just call Wesley his uncle?
Her mind was now a tangled mess.
If Wesley was Nathan’s uncle, then who the hell was Shaun?
Oh no…
Wesley frowned as he warned, “Stop while you can. It’s your engagement ceremony tonight. Go back upstairs.”
“My engagement ceremony was ruined by her.” Nathan’s eyes were filled with flames of fire. “The reputation I spent years building was destroyed today. Didn’t you see how my father looked at me earlier?”
“Was it her who ruined the engagement? All I saw was a group of people being forceful and aggressive toward her.” A look of disappointment washed over Wesley’s face.
“Nathan, you’re right to work diligently toward inheriting Lowe Corporation, but you can’t cross the line. A tamed rabbit will bite when agitated. All that happened to you today is simply because you stepped over the line with Cate!”
His words moved Cate. She did not expect this man to understand her this well.
Startled, Nathan said hesitantly, “Uncle, you’ve helped her out a few times today. Why? Is it because you’re…”
Similarly, Cate lifted her gaze to look at the tall silhouette in front of her.
“I’ve had opportunities to get to know her, and from what I’ve seen, she’s an amazing woman. If she’s willing to give me a chance, she might even become your aunty one day.”
“…”
She was at a loss for words.
Damn it!
She was about to lose her mind!
Nathan was shocked upon hearing that. Who could accept their ex-girlfriend becoming their aunt?
Besides, Nathan could not bring himself to imagine Cate being with another man.
“Uncle, I think you’ve gone mad. Some people are not as innocent as they appear on the surface—”
“I’ve had more professional experience than you and I’m also a few years older than you, so you can stop telling me what to do,” Wesley interrupted the man softly.
“Moreover, what kind of a man are you to slander your ex-girlfriend who basically grew up with you?”
Nathan’s face was red with embarrassment. “I’m saying it for your own good. Grandpa and Grandma will never accept her into the family.”
“Is it for my own good or for yours? I’m sure you know the answer better than anyone else.”
Ding. At this moment, the elevator arrived.
Wesley led Cate into the elevator, shutting out Nathan’s angry face on the other side of the elevator doors.
While in the enclosed space, she was overwhelmed by the emotions that crashed through her.
He glanced at her. Thinking that she must be frightened, he patted her on the head with a smile.
“Weren’t you really daring just now by jumping up on the table in front of everyone?”
Honestly, he had been shocked by her actions too.
This was probably the most memorable event he had participated in. However, she had looked rather attractive when she stood up for herself on top of the table.
Subconsciously, she dodged his touch. Her mind was teeming with a whole tangle of emotions that she could barely sort out.
“President Sanderson… You’re Nathan’s uncle?”
“Yup,” Wesley admitted. “I only learned you’re Second Young Lady Cox not long ago. I’m familiar with the relationship between you and Nathan. He used to talk to me about you all the time in the past.
“In other words, I knew it was Nathan who betrayed your love. I’m truly sorry about that. Of course, after working with you on the villa project, I came to realize that you’re a talented woman worth appreciating.”
“Then why did you lie about being his distant relative?”
“I know you hate him, hence I didn’t want you to hold a prejudice against me,” he explained truthfully. “My admiration for you is genuine!”
Cate inhaled deeply. “Excuse me for asking this, but does Nathan have another uncle from his mother’s side apart from you?”
The question took him by surprise, but he shook his head with a smile nonetheless. “No.”
“…”
She was at a complete loss for words.
She felt like she might pass out any time soon.
What about Shaun Lyons being Nathan’s uncle?
Where the hell was Mireya?
She promised she would not give that woman a quick death! Instead, she would take the time to skin her alive.
Mireya had declared with absolute confidence that she got the right person. This was how she pushed Cate into the dark abyss.
“Um… Are you alright?” Wesley noticed the color draining off her face. She looked as if she was about to faint.
“I’m fine. Perhaps I was exhausted from my battle earlier. I need to take a good rest and calm myself down.”
Cate stepped out of the elevator feeling like the world was crumbling around her.
“Let me give you a ride home.” Wesley offered with concern.
“No, I can drive.” She waved her hand in the air dismissively.
‘Please let me go, Nathan’s uncle.’ She feared she might jump into the river later out of regret.
“Alright then. But please be careful. Send me a text when you arrive home.” He walked her all the way to the car.
She rang Mireya immediately as her car drove out of the hotel.
“Where are you?”
“I just finished my exam and was about to find somewhere for a quick lunch. I have another exam in the late afternoon. Oh right, I called Patrick earlier and heard about your awesome acts—”
“I’ll come to you right now. There’s something I need to tell you. Oh right, you should probably suit up with body armor and helmet because I might accidentally end your life,” she said with an eerie voice.
This took Mireya by surprise. “Have I upset you?”
“You didn’t upset me but you’ve pushed me into a grave!” Cate, who had lost control, started screaming. “Shaun is not Nathan’s uncle at all! You got the wrong person!”
“No way…” Mireya did not know what else to say.
“I met Nathan’s uncle today and he turns out to be Wesley Sanderson. I was given the project to design his villa in Green Mountain not long ago.” Cate felt like crying at the moment. “What went wrong that led you to make this mistake? My goodness.”
“…”
Mireya resorted to silence as a shudder passed through her. She could not fathom why as she had heard it from her own brother.
…
Half an hour later, Cate showed up in front of Mireya as fast as a bolt of lightning.
The latter had already borrowed a helmet beforehand. “Here’s the rule. You can hit me but not on my face.”
The corners of Cate’s lips twitched into a helpless smile. “Can I jump into the river together with you then?”
