"Could it be that someone had drugged me by putting something in the wine?" If someone did this, it surely would be nobody else but Patrick. When I raised my chopsticks in the air and let my thoughts run wild, Shelton's concerned voice came from the side, "What's wrong?" To relieve his worry, I quickly put down the chopsticks and shook my head, "It's okay. I'll go to the bathroom." With that, I walked to the bathroom, pretending to be calm. In fact, at this time, everything I saw was blurred. "How could this be..." As soon as I arrived at the washroom on the first floor, a maid suddenly blocked the door and said to me, "I'm sorry, Miss Nolan. The washroom on the first floor is blocked. If you want to use it, go to the one on the second floor." "The second floor?" "Yes, it is right on the left upstairs." The maid said to me. "Oh, okay." I nodded my head in a daze and looked at the stairs in front of me. Grabb
"Woo, woo, woo!" I struggled with all my might, trying to push Patrick away. However, Patrick didn't move at all. He raised his head. To prevent me from screaming out loud, he covered my mouth with his palm and stared at me with his black eyes, saying, "Since he has touched all these parts of yours, I can only disinfect them for you." As he said that, he began to kiss my forehead and kissed downward bit by bit! With my mouth being covered by him all the time, I couldn't make any sound at all. However, something infuriated me the most! As my body was stimulated by the sensation I was most familiar with, it actually responded. Patrick also noticed this point and got up to look at me, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Your body is much more honest than your mouth." "No, it's not like this!" I shook my head desperately! He continued to take over me. He unbuttoned his shirt with the other hand, one by one. In the end, he bec
"Say it." "For two of us, only one can stay in City Y. The winner will get the company and her. And the loser will get out of here by himself. What do you think?" As Patrick spoke, he had a sharp look on his face. Shelton surely would lose this gamble. Shelton didn't say a word. Staring at him, Patrick said with a smile, "What? Uncle Shelton, are you afraid? Are you afraid of losing money or losing her?" Shelton looked back at me and said, "Okay." "No. I am not yours. On what rights can you make a bet with me?" I was so angry that I stood up from the bed, put on my shoes, and walked out directly. "Janetta." Shelton behind me intended to chase after me, only to be stopped by Patrick. I heard Patrick say, "Uncle Shelton, do you want to bet? It's not too late for you to raise the bet after winning it." I was so angry and anxious. How could there be someone like Patrick? In a fit of rage, I turned around and walk
"Grandpa, I know. I understand now." Patrick grabbed Ned by the hand, "It's just that I..." "Patrick, you can only be responsible for a woman after getting married. And the woman is your wife." Ned looked at Patrick, "You... You can't tread the same path as mine. Otherwise, besides hurting these two women, you will hurt their children and even your family." Everyone in the ambulance got Ned's point quite well. At this time, the ambulance arrived at Holy Spirit Hospital. Ned was immediately sent into the emergency room. I, Shelton, and Patrick were sitting at the door of the emergency room. Shelton and I sat together. Patrick sat across from us. While waiting, Patrick looked up at Shelton, "Uncle Shelton, how about you tell Miss Nolan who the big boss behind this hospital is?" I looked up at Patrick, feeling confused as to what he meant for a moment. However, a moment later, Shelton's voice rang next to me, "It's me." "Yo
I came out of the office. As soon as I closed the door, I heard the Vice Dean begging for mercy inside. "Mr. Shelton, I'm sorry. I was indeed possessed." "Mr. Shelton, please forgive me. I won't do it again." I walked along the corridor step by step. If I hadn't known that it was Shelton inside just now, I would have thought that the Vice Dean was calling Patrick instead. At the door of the emergency room, I saw Patrick smoking beside a trashcan. He was dressed in a thin black suit only. At night, few people could be seen in the hospital. He was the only one standing in such a vast place. I found the moonlight in autumn looked especially chilly. Against the pure white moonlight, the cigarette butt flickering in his hands looked lonely and insignificant. I stood a few meters away from him and looked at him. Thinking of what he said just now, I felt quite complicated in my heart. As I looked at him, Patrick suddenly
I turned around and recognized at a glance that this guest was Jeremy! I hadn't seen him for five years. Jeremy was completely different from what he used to be. He, who was much thinner than before, wore a long-sleeved sweater that had bulging pills on it. There was an ordinary pair of jeans and leather shoes on his lower body. I was somewhat incredulous. Logically, after the Archer Family was in trouble back then, someone acquired it. No matter how poor they were, they had tens of millions of dollars. Although he couldn't enjoy spending as much as he used to do, he surely could enjoy a prosperous life. Seeing I was looking in her direction, the clerk said to me, "Wait a minute, lady." "It's okay." I lowered my voice. Jeremy turned his head to look at me. At first, he was stunned for a moment. Then he looked somewhat frightened. When I assumed in surprise that he had recognized me, he quickly turned his head, took out s
"No, I didn't. How dare I bring the little devil here with me?" I said with a smile. At this time, the manager came to Boris again. It seemed that a guest wanted to see Boris. So I quickly said, "Go and do your work. I'll go upstairs first." After Boris left, I was ready to go upstairs. I looked up, only to find that Patrick was standing at the corner of the stairs. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants. The light in the dining room was of a warm yellow color. Even so, Patrick looked domineering and indifferent. I couldn't help but take a step back. I felt a little nervous. "When did he come here?" "How long had he been eavesdropping on my conversation with Boris?" "What's more, Boris and I both had mentioned Glenn..." Although Shelton had told Patrick that he had a child with me, Patrick didn't even take his words seriously. I thought that he probably was somewhat unconvinced. However, this time, it w
Standing there, I could tell that the man was Jeremy Archer without carefully observing him. He was wearing the same clothes as he had worn in the daytime. As the rain fell on him, he, who was thin, seemed to be on the verge of collapse. I said, "Uncle, I've told you that you got the wrong person. How come you found me here? How did you find this place?" I spoke calmly as if I wasn't connected to him. "No, I indeed have nothing to do with me." Walking up to me step by step, Jeremy grabbed my clothes with his hands, "Charlotte, we did everything wrong in the past. After I went home, I told your mother that I had seen you. She insisted that I should take you home for dinner. She even gets the dishes ready." "Could Gina cook?" I wasn't convinced. Gina claimed herself to be a noble lady. She didn't know how to cook at all. How come she could cook after a few years? I doubted that. Shelton asked me with an umbrella in his hands, "What a
