Chapter 20
I followed him, only to see him handing something like a shopping card of the shopping mall to the clerk as he threatened, "The boss of the Towering High suppressed down this matter. If you dare to talk too much, never can you hang out in City Y!"
He only said one sentence. As I wanted to video it with my mobile phone so that I could keep it as a piece of evidence, the manager walked out.
I stopped him and asked him about this matter.
The manager just rolled his eyes at me and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Then he left.
I always felt that Caroline was scheming against me, which was to make Patrick think lowly of me,
But I didn't expect that Patrick would turn a blind eye to everything she had done and even help her!
"I can't accept it!"
I rushed all the way to the first floor of the
building of the Towering High Group. I wanted to ask Patrick in person about what on earth was going on!
Towering High Group was a big enterprise where people needed to went in and out with a door card. Originally, I thought that I couldn't enter the company. But I didn't expect that as soon as I walked to the door, the receptionist came over and greeted me warmly, "Mrs. President."
She took me upstairs and helped me enter Patrick's office smoothly.
When I went in, Peter Jacob, who had picked me up that day, was also in the office. When he saw me coming in, he took the initiative to leave.
"What's the matter?" Patrick did not even raise his head.
I didn't beat around the bush with him as I directly asked, "Did you get someone to ruin the monitoring of the shopping mall?"
"Yes." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Originally, I thought Patrick would say something. But he didn't hide it from me at all.
"Why?"
"There is no why."
I hated his attitude so much. Besides watching Caroline plot against me, he secretly helped her!
"You knew that it was Caroline who had plotted against me. You knew that she was pretentious and hypocritical. Why, why did you help her?! As a boss, how come you are willing to be fooled around by a woman?"
The more I said, the more excited I became. And my voice became louder and louder.
However, Patrick did not react at all. He just picked up the pen on the table and signed his name at the end of the document.
Closing the document, he raised his head and said coldly with his dark eyes, "I take a fancy to her. So I will let her do these things at her will."
I was stunned.
Staring at Patrick for a moment, I felt that he was not the man I had been in love with for twelve years.
I only knew that he was a man who had a plan and was decisive.
However, I never thought that he would be so affectionate in love... as well as biased.
I stood where I was, smiled bitterly, and asked him, "What about me? What do you plan to do with me?"
Patrick answered indifferently, "Since you love to live in a golden cage, I'll let you have your way. But, I will never fall in love with you."
He indeed knew how to hurt me.
Tightly clenching my hands, I held my back straight, so that I wouldn't look too embarrassed. I smiled calmly. "Well, Patrick Cowell, I understand. From now on, I will stop loving you."
After that, I turned around.
As soon as I entered the elevator, I felt a burst of nauseous feeling. When I went to the first floor, I immediately rushed into the toilet and vomited. But I didn't spit anything.
A cleaner happened to be in the bathroom. Observing my situation, she kindly said, "Miss, are you pregnant? Having some sour plum with you on usual days can relieve your pain."
I was stunned.
"Pregnancy?"
"How could it be possible?"
