Mireya’s heart sank. Indeed, the Clark family was one of the very few powerful families in Melbourne. Cate had offended the Clark family.
“So… So what can we do?”
“I’ve… informed my uncle to come here.” A look of distress and helplessness crossed Nathan’s face. Although Wesley was currently his love rival, he had no choice but to ask him for help in order to save Cate.
“My uncle has a wide network. He might have a way out.”
“Oh, okay.” Mireya had heard from Cate that Wesley was interested in her. Sure enough, Nathan had to rely on his uncle at crucial moments like this.
As Mireya gazed at Nathan, her eyes were increasingly filled with disgust. She could not help but mock him. “After being dumped by your fiancée, you finally know who treats you the best. You don’t find Cate shameful anymore, huh?”
“Back then, it was my fault. I was blind.”
Mireya snorted. “The environment in the detention center is really awful. Ever since Cate was locked in the old manor, she was traumatized by the experience. We have to bring her out tonight.”
Nathan was stunned. “What happened in the old manor? Wasn’t she served with great food and drinks there?”
“Is there something wrong with you? Didn’t you see the medical certificate which was shared online? She was terribly abused there, and she almost lost her life.”
Mireya stared at Nathan as if he was mentally disabled.
“She was locked there for three days with all the windows and doors nailed shut. Not even a ray of light could shine through. The rice she had was stale. She had no blanket and clothes. There was no electricity and water. She couldn’t even contact anyone outside and had almost died in the manor. Fortunately… Fortunately, we managed to rescue her. By the time she arrived at the hospital, she was nearly dead.”
Nathan’s body trembled violently.
He had visited the Cox family’s house to ask about it, but that was not what he was told.
Now when he recalled Jeffery, Sally, and Rosabella’s faces, he could not help but shudder.
He could not imagine how evil they were to have the intention of killing their biological daughter and sister. They were really scary.
It was no wonder Cate hated Nathan. Nathan was too silly and could not see through the incident. At that point, Cate was undoubtedly in absolute despair.
Soon, Wesley arrived after rushing over.
“Uncle Wesley, you must save Cate,” Nathan begged him with swollen eyes. “She’s innocent. I owe her way too much.”
“Whether or not I’ll save her has nothing to do with you. She’s my lover, and I’ll certainly go all out to save her.”
As Wesley spoke, he grimly headed upstairs along with a lawyer. Half an hour later, he came back down with a sullen look.
“I can’t bail her out.”
“What? Even you failed to do it?” Mireya started panicking. Struck by a thought, she asked, “Can I ask the Harrison family for help?”
Mireya had Chase’s number, but Cate and Shaun were currently on bad terms. It was not known whether Chase would be willing to lend her a hand.
“It won’t work. I heard that the Clark family is very furious this time. The Harrison family’s intervention in the matter would mean they’re going against the Clark family, so it’s impossible for them to do it.”
Wesley’s head hurt. He had come up with all the possible solutions on his way here.
“So there’s nothing I can do apart from watching Cate continue being locked up until the sentence is imposed.” Mireya grew uneasy. “This is not just about being in jail for several years. It might ruin her life.”
“Exactly, Uncle Wesley. Please try to find a way out.” With a pale face, Nathan turned his gaze to Wesley.
Wesley’s brows furrowed as if two mountain peaks were squeezed together. “There’s another person who can help, but it’s really difficult to get him to help. He’s a legendary lawyer in Australia who has never been defeated. He hasn’t lost any lawsuits so far, nor has he failed to bail anyone out.”
“Who’s he?” Mireya and Nathan asked at the same time.
“Shaun Lyons,” Wesley enunciated.
Wesley said, “Before this, he had been living in seclusion for years. He suddenly came to Melbourne a while ago, but it’s way too difficult to get him to help. Previously, I asked him to settle a business lawsuit for me by offering him a pay of 300 million dollars, yet he declined.
“Of course, he has declined many offers, including those from the business and political powerhouses. In his eyes, money and power are nothing.”
Mireya was at a loss for words.
In a daze, she wondered if Wesley was referring to that Shaun Lyons.
Cate’s husband was also Shaun Lyons, and he was a lawyer.
Cate said that her husband’s income was pretty much the same as hers, though.
She also said that her husband behaved arrogantly and cruelly only because he was Chase’s friend.
My God. What kind of a f*cking powerhouse had her best friend offended?
Not only had she offended him, but she was also unaware of his identity despite staying with him for over two months.
“Don’t worry. I’ll beg him,” Wesley said.
“Uh…” Mireya gave a light cough. “If you’re referring to the same Shaun Lyons… I got acquainted with him back then. I’ll look for him. If I can’t get him to help, there’s no need for you to beg him then.”
If Wesley were to go and beg Shaun, the situation would involve a love rival asking for the official husband to save his wife whom he was going to divorce. Not only would Shaun refuse to save Cate, but he might also cause her to end up in jail forever.
In this case, Wesley must not beg Shaun.
“You know him?” Wesley looked at Mireya with a different expression.
Nathan was astonished as well. “I’ve heard about Mr. Lyons. I didn’t expect that you’d know someone like him, Mireya.”
Mireya said embarrassingly, “I don’t know much about him, but I have a friend who’s familiar with him.”
“Your friend is brilliant.” Wesley praised. “We’ll wait for good news from you.”
Mireya was speechless.
‘Yeah, right. My friend is still in the detention center, waiting for you guys to save her.’
…
Once they parted, Mireya gave Chase a call. “Young Master Harrison, I’m sure you heard that Cate has been arrested by the police. Apparently, the evidence available is all against her. I’d… I’d like to get Mr. Lyons to bail her out.”
Chase sighed. “These days, Shaun doesn’t want to hear Cate’s name at all. He’ll definitely not help her. What’s more, he has made the decision to divorce her a few days ago.”
Mireya was at her wits’ end. “Where’s he now? Can you give me a chance to talk to him face-to-face?”
“Unfortunately, he has accepted a case recently. He flew to Perth for work yesterday and will only return the day after tomorrow.”
Mireya was overwhelmed by frustration deep down. It was proving impossible to save Cate by tonight. “Can you tell me the hotel he’s staying at in Perth? I’ll fly there to meet him.”
On the other end, Chase remained silent for a while. He eventually told Mireya the address. The plan’s success would ultimately depend on her.
That night, Mireya booked the soonest flight to Perth and headed there.
After she arrived at the hotel, she knocked on the door of the room.
It was a slender young man who opened the door. She subsequently felt the warm air emanating from the room. The man wore a white shirt with its neckline hanging below his collarbones, revealing a small part of his sexy chest.
Staring at the man’s chest, Mireya was stunned. The man caressed her chin, his bewitching eyes displaying a captivating smile. “Tsk, you guys actually asked a woman to come over. She looks great, though.”
Mireya’s face darkened. She seriously wondered if she came to the wrong place.
However, she heard the sound of people playing cards inside the room. She then asked, “I’m looking for Shaun. Is he here?”
In a daze, the man turned his head and looked into the room, “Someone’s looking for you, Shaun. That’s strange. When did you get into a relationship with someone in Perth?”
“I’m a friend of his wife.” Mireya pushed away his hand that was blocking the door and entered the room in a huff.
There were three men in the living room, and all of them had an impressive aura. One of the men with a cigarette dangling out of his mouth said, “Rodney, I just asked you to open the door. Why did you let her in?”
