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

    "Darling, did Charlotte come back with you?" Hearing the noise, Gina came out of the kitchen. Seeing her, I was even more stunned. If I met her on the street, I would never recognize that she was Gina! She, who was much thinner, wore a flory shirt and a peach-red thick vest outside. At a glance, I knew she was wearing something off the rack. In the past, she had always been contemptuous of these things. How did she become like this? Soon, Gina saw me behind Jeremy. And her eyes lit up. She came over and grabbed me, "Charlotte!" After finishing her words, she hugged me directly, "It's indeed Charlotte! I'm not blind, am I? It's true that she is my Charlotte!" As I was being hugged in her arms, I could smell a stench coming from her hair. If they were acting, they were super good actors. Based on my understanding of them, never would they act like this. They surely had been used to living like this. After that, Gina looked

    The next morning, the rain stopped. I stood in front of the window on the second floor and opened it. The smell of the wet soil came into my nose, and the asphalt street outside was washed clean by the rain. I couldn't help but want to go out for a walk. I cleaned up and got changed. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Gina and Jeremy sitting at the door of my house! When I opened the door, the two of them stood up. Gina even wanted to walk inside without my permission. "What are you doing?" I put both my hands on the door to block them. Gina looked at me and said with a smile, "Charlotte, have you had breakfast? We brought you breakfast. It's cold out there. Let's go in." I saw a plastic bag in her hand. There was a bowl in it. There seemed to be some thin porridge in the bowl, from which a lot had already been spilled out. "I've told you that I'm not your daughter. I'll call the police if you keep acting like this!" I

    I could clearly feel something piercing through my skin and into my body! The next second, the pain in the back of my waist intensified. It was getting more and more painful! I bit my lips hard and turned around, only to see Gina standing there behind me. She was still holding the knife that pierced into my body. It was a fruit knife. The metal blade was already covered with blood! It hurt! I had never felt so much pain! Although I wanted to stand up, the pain in the back of my waist was beyond my imagination. I turned around and moved my leg, which affected my wound. I fell to my knees directly because of the pain. "What are you doing!" Jeremy obviously did not expect Gina to stab me! There was no fear in Gina's eyes. Instead, she looked ferocious. "Can't you tell that she won't give us the house? In a while, the Cowell Family's third son will surely come over, and we'll be doomed then! Since that's the case, we'd better kill her! At wor

    Lying there, I heard the ringtone of my cell phone upstairs ringing once. After that, it never rang again. I couldn't be more hopeless. The sounds of the doorbell outside didn't ring either. Only then did Gina continue to clean up the scene. In the end, she arrived at the meeting room. Standing at the door of the meeting room, Gina looked at me. As always, there wasn't any trace of sympathy on her face. Instead, she looked somewhat overjoyed. I knew that she felt overjoyed because she thought that she could get my house and make money with it soon. Gina didn't say a word to me. Of course, I don't have the strength to talk to her anymore. At this time, I couldn't even lift my eyelids. I gradually lost my senses. Feeling cold and listless, I couldn't even move a finger. Lying there, I vaguely heard a noisy voice that seemed to ring outside the door. But I didn't know what on earth had happened. Neither could I care l

    After I finished my words, I sensed that Patrick held me in his arms somewhat stiffly. He got up slightly and looked at me with a lost look on his face. Seeing his look, I couldn't help but be stunned. Green stubble was all over Patrick's face. With his eye sockets sunken, there were pretty dark eye circles under his eyes.  He seemed to... It was as if... He hadn't slept well for a long time. Seeing him like this, I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek, asking, "What happened to you..." "Patrick." As Patrick was about to respond, Shelton came in. He went straight to our side and said to Patrick, "Jeremy is waiting for you, saying that he has something to tell you." Patrick looked up at Shelton. Hesitating for a moment, he stood up. When Patrick withdrew his arms, unexpectedly, I, who could no longer feel the familiar warmth, felt a profound reluctance in my heart.

    After the wedding, our honeymoon plan was postponed because Rosalie was too young and Patrick's legs had not yet fully recovered. I had been resting at home all along. Sometimes I would talk to Nancy about my work. It was March with spring blossoms when Rosalie was 100 days old. Early in the morning, Patrick went out as usual, and I saw him off at the door. He held my face, kissed my forehead gently, and said softly, "Pack your daily necessities this morning. We'll go to our new home this afternoon." "New home? Where is it? Why didn't you mention it before?" I was stunned. I hadn't heard anything about the new home from Patrick so far. He looked mysterious and tidied up the messy hair on my face. "You will know when we arrive in the afternoon." After that, without waiting for me to ask more questions, he glanced at his watch and hurried out. "A new home?" I thought about it carefully. After getting married to Patrick, I

    Patrick and I held a wedding when Rosalie was 100 days old. Although he wanted to hold a grand banquet, I refused to do so. Mostly, I was too old to care about the formalities anymore. But I understood that it was Patrick's heart for me, and I did not refuse to hold the wedding. We just needed to call some good friends and have a Simple banquet. Patrick couldn't convince me, so he naturally agreed. In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day. Shirley sent me the wedding dress. Because it was a mini wedding, only seven or eight tables were available. Most of the guests came from my studio and Towering High Company. Everyone was familiar with each other. In order to solve the marriage problem of the older single women in my studio, Nancy and I also made a special effort on the seating row. We specifically put single men and women of marriageable age at one table, expecting them to develop their relationship. Early

    Listening to Shirley's words, I truly felt lucky for Shelton. Fortunately, he returned. Fortunately, he returned to Shirley's side. Back to the person who loved him. Michael Blake was hired as defense counsel in Shelton's case. I went to find Patrick and asked him about the case. He told me Shelton had locked Emily up for a while, but he soon let her go. But after that, Emily asked Shelton for money. Shelton gave her some. After Emily spent all the money, she was desperate and went to the police. She wanted to use this method to force Shelton to give her money. When I heard Patrick's words, I thought that Emily was too naïve. If this were true, then someone might help her. But it was she who exposed the video in the first place, and everyone knew that. She had made the choice. Now everything she said just made it worse. Emily had no money, so she could only find the assigned lawyer to file the lawsuit. In the first

    She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years. She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?" "The operation was successful." Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad. Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good." Then she turned around and was about to leave. Patrick said, "Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you." "I blame myself for being stupid." Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?" She didn't go on but left with her head down. I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?" "Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to

    Patrick's words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Roger's heart. Roger stood there. Although he looked calm, he lost all his momentum. At this moment, the ambulance arrived. Although Dulcie was angry and hard to accept it, she could tell what was more important. She opened the door and let the doctor in. The doctor examined Ned first, and then quickly carried him into the ambulance. Because of the small space in the ambulance, only two people were allowed to accompany Ned. Sheridan and Melissa got in. Once they left, it was just me, Patrick, Dulcie, and Roger left in the room. "I'll ask the driver to drive the car over." Patrick took out his phone and called the driver. Then I supported him to go out. Dulcie and Roger stood there without saying a word. Patrick did not talk to them either. He went out with me and got in the car. We decided to order the servants to take care of Glenn first. We cal

    Hearing his words, Sheridan looked gloomy on the side. Patrick held me in his arms, "You seem to care about the affairs of the Cowell Family so much. Each time we have some disputes, you will help us enthusiastically. Now you are making a move on my aunt, aren't you?" "No." After finishing his words, Roger imitated Patrick and held Dulcie in his arms, saying, "Dulcie and I love each other sincerely." ...... I looked gloomy. It wasn't that I didn't believe in December Romance. However, the age gap between them was so large. As Patrick's aunt, Dulcie was quite good-looking. It was just that she, who was old, had encountered too many unpleasant things in the past few years, making her meaner and harsher. As for Roger by her side... From all aspects, every woman lusted for him. He, who wasn't poor, surely could get whatever woman he wanted with ease. Indeed, in every way, there was no way that he would take a fancy to Dulcie. No w

    "All right." I nodded. I would marry Patrick soon. Because of the things taking place in the past, the Cowell Family didn't have a good impression of me. If I arrived there late because of getting changed this time, it wouldn't be worth it. Holding Patrick's hand, I went downstairs with him. Coming out early, we didn't see many cars on the road. When we arrived at the Cowell Family's mansion, it was exactly 6:30 p.m. By the time we went in, it had been quite lively inside the house. Sheridan, Melissa, and Ned were all surrounding Glenn. Glenn, a six-year-old child, was smart and flexible. Whatever others asked him, he would respond like an adult. Upon seeing us, the three of us looked at me. Ned straightened up first and said with a smile on his face, "You're here." "Yes. Hello, Grandpa Cowell." After greeting Ned, I said to Sheridan and Melissa, "Hello, Mr. Sheridan. Hello, Mrs. Melissa." Now, the relationsh

    "I'll be gentler." Leaning and frowning, he seemed to be in great pain, "I'm in pain." ...... "I am telling you the truth..." Cupping my face with his hands, he looked as if he were waiting for me to show my mercy. Frowning, i didn't know what to do for a while. What's more, unlike Patrick's office where there was a lounge, my office was a small one with a sofa only. Moreover, the setup was later divided. It wasn't quite soundproof. Once, Nancy made a phone call to argue with a construction company in her office. I heard all that she had said clearly in my office... Thinking of this, I shook my head heavily. Seeing his distressed look, I tentatively asked, "Shall we go upstairs?" Upon finishing my words, I felt that my suggestion wasn't quite plausible. At this time, Patrick was on the verge of ejecting. His private part was bulging. On the way out, we would pass by the open office... Everyone would be watching us.

    "Why did you... come here?" Standing up in a hurry, I helped Patrick into the office. While walking in, he closed the door handily. Looking up at the closed door, I knew that he should be here for what had happened just now. Even if he wouldn't take the initiative to come here, I would ask him about it. I helped Patrick seated on the sofa. Sitting up, he looked at me and said, "What do you want to know? Go ahead." Sure enough, he knew me. Sitting opposite him and looking at him, I thought for a moment before asking, "What happened? What did Kelsi do?" "Ever since she left last time, per my order, Louis had been keeping an eye on everything about her, including the ones she contacted. As expected, she dealt with the ones who smuggled guns and bribed a murderer, asking him to kill someone." Patrick didn't state who Kelsi had wanted to kill explicitly. Even so, I knew that it was me. I looked at Patrick, asking, "What did you do?
