Rebecca grabbed the opportunity and said, “Mom, did you get into a fight with Uncle Titus recently? He
has been sleeping in the study. I don’t think it’s good for a married couple to sleep on separate beds for
too long. It makes it easier for feelings to change. Many books that I’ve read said the same thing. You
should take note of this.”
“Enough, you don’t have to worry about Titus and me.” Sheryl asked half-heartedly, “You went to Hill
Corporation this morning. How was it?”
“I wanted to go to Hill Corporation’s laboratory and factory to have a look, but Shaun had Liona’s
members stop me. They didn’t allow me to enter. It’s so infuriating.” Rebecca was upset. “I didn’t dare
go against them by force. My face already
hurts a lot from Catherine slapping me yesterday.”
Sheryl looked at Rebecca’s face, which was covered in a thick layer of foundation, and was
immediately overwhelmed by anger. Her daughter had been bullied by people time and time again.
“Take more people with you. If you meet Catherine, return her the slap.”
“Mom, thank you. No one has ever treated me as well as you do.” Rebecca acted as if she was
touched. “But I heard people saying that Catherine didn’t go to the company this afternoon. Shaun
looked fearless as well. Maybe he has a trick up his sleeve.”
“I’m here. What are you worried about? Just do what you want.”
Sheryl patted the back of Rebecca’s hand to console her.
“Thank you, Mom.” After Rebecca left, Sheryl’s pretty face darkened.
Catherine did not go to the company, Titus just so happened to have gone out, and Shaun had a bold
look on him.
Had Titus gone out to meet Catherine?
When that suspicion arose, Sheryl could not control it anymore.
She immediately dialed the number of her bodyguard. “Find out where Titus went.”
At a cafe in a five-star hotel.
Catherine sat on the seat beside the French windows. After waiting for more than ten minutes, she saw
Titus and Matthew arriving together. Both of them were more than two meters tall. Moreover, with those
well-defined, handsome features, they looked more like brothers rather than father and son.
Titus had really maintained himself well. He only looked like he was 37 or 38 years of age. Even the top
male models overseas might not be able to compare to his mature figure and presence.
“Mr. Costner, Matthew. ” Catherine immediately stood up and greeted them politely.
“Catherine, why did you call my dad over?” Matthew greeted her familiarly.
“Have a seat first. I don’t know what you guys like to drink, so I didn’t dare to order.” Catherine opened
the menu.
“I’ll just have a cup of coffee.” Titus sat down and crossed his long legs.
“My dad doesn’t like sugar in his, but I’ll have more sugar in mine.” Matthew waved his hand. “You two
can talk first. I’m going to the bathroom. I had too many watermelons at home.”
After ordering three cups of coffee, Catherine did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
She said, “You promised me last time that you would save a life for me.”
“Is it your life?” Titus’s gaze fell on Catherine’s stunning face. However, the bright face he saw the last
time was now shrouded in a layer of gloominess. She seemed to have a lot of worries on her mind.
“No.” Catherine shook her head. “Shaun’s life.”
Titus raised his eyebrows in astonishment. “Do you know how precious this favor of mine is? You better
not regret using it on other people.”
FranHy speaking, Shaun was not her husband at all. He was even a man who had hurt and betrayed
her before.
“There’s nothing to regret.” Catherine smiled bitterly and said, “Recently, a lunatic has spent a huge
sum of money to acquire a big portion of Hill Corporation’s shares. In fact, I know that there’s still a
powerful force trying to target us, but Shaun wants to stay behind. He can’t bear to see the company
that he has painstakingly managed destroyed by someone else. Secondly, he wants to prepare a path
for the children and me to escape. He doesn’t care about his own safety. However, to me, he’s the
person I love. He’s also the father to my children. I hope you can save his life when I leave.”
Titus’s expression was dark.
The lunatic that Catherine spoke of was his wife.
