“Patrick’s dad and Linda’s dad are comrades. After retiring from military service, they set up a business together. Patrick and Linda lived in the same area and grew up together. He just treats Linda as his sister.”
“Somehow, I feel that Linda doesn’t just treat him as her brother.” Cate threw a glance at Mireya.
Mireya remained silent for a moment, then sighed. “You think so too? I used to doubt it as well, but I have no evidence.”
“Just keep an eye on her.” Cate reminded Mireya.
“Okay.”
…
A week later.
Rosabella and her parents returned to Melbourne after vacation.
Shortly after they got back to the Cox family’s villa, Nathan gave Rosabella another call.
The moment Rosabella looked at the notification of the incoming call, her eyes flashed with annoyance. Nevertheless, she ended up picking up the call. With a smile, she asked, “What’s the matter, Nathan?”
“Can’t I just give you a random call?”
At that instant, Nathan was somewhere near the villa’s entrance where he had seen Rosabella and her parents return.
“What are you thinking? Of course, you can.” Nathan’s expression was not as grim when Cate’s gentle voice sounded. However, her next sentence left him in a somber mood.
“But I’m still overseas. I plan to go surfing today, and I have a tight schedule.”
“Really?” Nathan felt anger burning in his chest. “But I saw you returning home just now. I’m right outside the entrance of your villa. Why are you lying to me?”
“…”
Rosabella glanced out of the window.
Nathan continued to sound reluctant. “Is it because I’m no longer the president of Lowe Corporation that you’re trying to deny all connections with me?”
“Fine. Since you’re conscious of it, I’m not going to beat around the bush.” With a cold tone, Rosabella added, “Nathan, be clear about who you are. Now that you’ve lost the Sanderson family’s support and failed to become the successor of Lowe Corporation, your status doesn’t even match mine. I’m the successor of Summit with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars. Since this is the case, there’s a huge gap between us. Let’s just separate without holding grudges.”
Nathan felt a sense of incredulity. “Rosabella, you actually decided to go for your personal gains at the expense of your principles. You told me before that you’ve fallen in love with me. You told me that you were willing to make sacrifices for me. Are all these lies?”
“Of course, those were true all because of your status back then. Stop pestering me already.”
Rosabella hung up once she finished speaking.
Nathan sat in the car like a lost soul.
After a while, he covered his forehead and began to smile so weakly that tears trickled down his face.
How foolish of him. In the relationship, he had always thought that he was in the driving seat. Little did he know that he had gradually fallen into Rosabella’s trap.
He had been under the impression that she was so besotted with him that she would be willing to do anything for him.
It turned out that it was just a pretense. For the sake of this woman, he had even hurt Cate. He hit her, criticized her, and almost ruined her.
He hit his head violently, wondering why he was so foolish.
It was Cate who grew up with him since he was young.
If Cate were in Rosabella’s shoes, she would not have given up on him.
Nathan recalled the moment he learned that his father had an illegitimate child. He had felt that his life was full of darkness at that point. It was Cate who stayed by his side and kept encouraging him to pull himself together.
She even went to learn how to cook for his sake.
Why had he forgotten about all these things?
It was no wonder his uncle thought that something was wrong with him. It was no wonder Christina thought of him as a blind man.
Indeed, both his eyes and heart were blind.
Less than ten minutes later, Nathan received a sudden call from Sonya.
“What’s going on, Nathan? Rosabella announced publicly on Facebook that she has canceled her wedding with you because you still have feelings for Cate.”
Nathan was dumbfounded as he did not expect Rosabella to act so swiftly.
He immediately clicked on Rosabella’s Facebook profile.
She had written: [An innocent girl, who had just moved up the ladder, thought that she had met her prince, only to discover that he went after her simply because of her identity as a corporation’s successor.
[Recently, many have been criticizing me for being the third party between my sister and her boyfriend. In fact, I was unaware of it.
[He said he loved me, and I believed it. Therefore, I got together with him at all costs. I wouldn’t be bothered even if a commotion arose during our wedding.
[However, I just found out that he still has feelings for someone else. He pretended to get engaged to me before this and merely treated me as a stepping stone to secure his position in Lowe Corporation. I was dumped afterward.]
Following the messages, Rosabella posted a photo of Cate and him in Green Mountain.
From the angle of the photo, it showed that he seemed to be having a deep talk with Cate while he held her hand.
It turned out that someone had taken a shot of them at that time.
In fact, the Cox family had planned to sling mud at him early on, which allowed Rosabella to get away with this.
It was too late for Nathan to regret it.
It was because Summit, Janet, Cindy, and other people had liked and shared the post that caused the topic to become a top search.
A lot of people criticized him for being a betrayer, calling him a scumbag.
They even criticized Cate and him for being involved in a conspiracy to cheat the pure girl who came from the countryside.
Sonya anxiously said on the other end, “Are you having a complicated relationship with Cate again? You’re out of your mind. Now you can only count on the Cox family to turn things around…”
“No, Mom.” Nathan’s words were stuck in his throat. “Can’t you see that Rosabella’s throwing mud at me in an attempt to keep a distance from me?”
Sonya was astounded. She appeared to have figured out everything at that instant.
“Little did I expect that she would be such a character. I was barking up the wrong tree. You’re now at the lowest point in your life, and there she is trying to ruin your reputation.”
“Exactly. I didn’t expect that as well. Perhaps this is karma.” Nathan was heartbroken. He was not sure if Cate, whom he owed a lot, was hurt as well.
…
Talton Design.
When Cate found herself on the top search and being criticized by a bunch of people for no reason, she had the urge to fling her phone.
How dare Rosabella falsify the issue?! Rosabella was the one who snatched Nathan away. She ended up dumping him and was now accusing Cate and Nathan of scheming together.
Furthermore, Cindy only aggravated the matter by using her identity as a celebrity, which got more people to criticize Cate.
What kind of people were they?
“A lot of information online is fake. Don’t bother about it.” Joseph, who had noticed the issue, comforted her. “Go home early and rest if you’re not feeling well.”
“Okay.” Indeed, Cate did not want to get her colleagues to stare at her with strange looks. After nodding, she packed her things and headed home.
Who knew, just as she got downstairs, a crowd of reporters came out of nowhere to surround her.
“Miss Cox, are you getting back together with Nathan?”
“Getting back together? In fact, you guys never separated. You guys just pretended to have separated so that Nathan could cheat on Rosabella!”
