"How can I blame you for this?" Sheryl quickly held Rebecca's hands and consoled her, “After all, we’ve underestimated Catherine's brutality, or rather, we shouldn't have given her the chance in the first place." 1
A look of annoyance washed over Rebecca's face. "I just can't figure out why Matthew left without saying a thing. Could Catherine have tricked him into leaving?"
"That's possible." Upon hearing it, Sheryl glared at Titus. "You guys have been in contact with Catherine from the beginning. Matthew is particularly innocent, but Catherine is cunning. He could’ve been deceived b y her."
"Sherry, now is not the time to quarrel. Let's find Matthew first," Titus said with a low voice. Even his posture was lowered. 1
Rebecca bit her lip. "I'm afraid Catherine will deny it."
Provoked by her words, Sheryl said furiously, "If she denies it, I’ll personally look for Minister Snow. But if h e doesn’t deal with Catherine and Shaun, I don't mind severing Australia's shipping routes."
Titus frowned, and his lips twitched. In the end, he did not utter a word.
He just stared at Sheryl and Rebecca silently. His distant eyes rested on Rebecca's face for one to two seconds.
In the past, he was not unconcerned about Rebecca's scheming mind. He just considered her as Sheryl's daughter at that time, so he let her be for the sake of his marriage with Sheryl.
Everyone had a scheming mind.
However, Rebecca would be a bit too presumptuous if she tried to tear him and Sheryl apart right in front of him.
If Titus were a fool, he would not have attained his current status.
On the surface, Rebecca seemed like she was advising him and Sheryl. However, she was actually dropping a hint to them that it was Catherine's doing.
If he had not had a deep conversation with Catherine just now, he might have let Rebecca lead him by the nose.
