Hearing my words, Patrick looked disgustful. However, stopped cupping my neck, he held my chin as he observed me with his black eyes as if he wanted to see through me. It was so terribly quiet that there was only the smell of alcohol in the air. After a long while, he sneered, "What do you want?" At this time, I naively thought that he had been convinced by me. Then I said, "I pressed my fingerprint on the wedding agreement. As long as you don't sign a new agreement with her, I will be yours." Patrick pushed me away and sat back in the driver's seat without saying anything. However, after he drove all the way home, he threw me into a bathtub which was filled with icy water, pulled my hair, and said to me, "Do you think I will believe what you said? A woman like you is at most a b*tch around me." At that moment, I came to my senses, thinking that Patrick, who loathed me so much, surely wouldn't be convinced by me. I struggled in the water. But h
Fortunately, Lisa caught the cell phone for me. Staring at the string of number "9" on the screen, she guessed it right at once, "Patrick Cowell?" I nodded silently. The ringtone continued playing. Seeing that I didn't intend to pick the call up, Lisa said directly, "I'll pick it up for you." After that, she went to press the answer button. Seeing her move, I was so scared that I immediately grabbed the phone from her and put it beside my ear as I said in a trembling voice, "Hello." "Where are you?" The man's impatient voice soon came from over the phone. With a quiver in my heart, I looked at Lisa and said, "I am in my... friend's place." "Come home in an hour." After saying that, Patrick hung up the phone without giving me any chance to refute. His words were like an imperial edict. Although Lisa kept telling me I shouldn't do as he said, I dared not do so. In the end, she helped me put on very seductive makeup as she
"Mr. Cowell, it is you who are fooling me, okay?" I took the agreement in front of me in my hand and stood up without showing any sign of weakness. Then I pointed at the clause. After that, I threw the agreement onto Patrick and turned to leave. I dared not look back. I am afraid that if I stayed here for one more second, I couldn't pretend any longer and I would show my embarrassment in front of him. I walked quickly all the way to the gate of the residential quarter. Looking at the luxurious gate behind me and thinking back on my naive thoughts before, I found myself sad as well as ridiculous. Patrick Cowell was the boss of the Towering High Group, who surely wouldn't fall in love with a woman after a one-night stand. He wouldn't do so even if I shared the same face as the girl he liked. (To be continued) I moved into Lisa's house and started my life again. After I graduated from college, I, who majored in interior design, found a
With the incident in my childhood that Patrick had no money and couldn't be rescued on my mind, I had no choice but to go to the hospital with the 911 team. After arriving at the hospital, I helped Caroline to pay the medicine fee and was about to leave. When I arrived at the door, I was stopped by a policeman. The couple on the third floor was standing behind him. The hostess pointed at me and said firmly, "It's her. It's she who pushed the girl down." The policeman nodded and said to me in a business-like tone, "Hello, please come with us." Although I was reluctant, I also knew that even if I didn't go to the police station today, I would have to go there tomorrow. On the way to the police station, the couple on the third floor went with me and the hostess said to the police, "I heard them quarrel so fiercely. Later, I heard someone shouting for help. And then the girl rolled down." Lisa lived on the fourth floor. When I moved there, she told
By the time I woke up again, I was in a single ward. There was only a woman in her fifties in the room. I could tell at a glance that she was a servant of my grandma, Rosy Archer. I said weakly, "Olena..." Olena looked back and saw that I was awake. She said nervously, "Lie down and don't move. I will call the doctor first." As she said that, she rushed out of the ward. I observed the ward. Based on the style of the decoration, it should be the Holy Spirit Hospital. "But why am I here? Why is Olena taking care of me?" I was full of doubts and didn't know whom I should ask. Soon, Olena came in with a doctor. The doctor had an examination of me, saying that I was exhausted and had hypoglycemia and that I just needed to have some nutrition at home before I would be fine. I thanked the doctor. Only after he went out did I ask Olena what had happened. Olena told me the general situation. After I fainted, Patrick sent me here and reveal
As there was hope rising in my heart, Rosy said, "I asked her to come here." Her voice sounded unhurried. And others couldn't tell what her purpose was. But I stole a glance at Jeremy. And there seemed to be a layer of sweat on his forehead. The four of us entered the room. Rosy took me to sit on a two-seat sofa. While Jeremy and Gina sat on the opposite side. And Olena began to pour tea for us. Rosy took my hand and went straight to the point, "Diane has told me everything about the wedding." At this time, Jeremy broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. He stood up, pointed at Diane, and scolded, "You are an ungrateful b*tch! Were you bribed by Charlotte?" As he spoke, he picked up the glass on the table and smashed it directly on Diane! Diane, who couldn't dodge him in time, was smashed with a cup of hot tea. And the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces! "It's enough!" Rosy shouted loudly and said to Diane, "Diane, go in and get
After hearing Rosy's story, Jeremy was still unwilling to let go as he said, "Charlotte is well-known for her lack of manners. If she marries Patrick, it will only bring shame to the Archer Family!" In the end, he added, "I will never agree to such absurd things!" Yes, it was indeed absurd. How come there would be a new bribe after the wedding ceremony? And if it was spread out, wouldn't it make the Cowell Family and the Archer Family become the laughing stock of City Y? I spoke out my thoughts. Gina had been cold to me before. But now she treated me nicely as she said, "Caroline is still sensible." Seeing that I was reluctant, Rosy said to me, "Charlotte, go and see if Diane was hurt just now." I knew that she was making an excuse to drive me away. When I was hesitating, Olena came over and invited me to the servants' rooms. The servants' room was not far from the living room. Although I went in, I leaned against the door and listened to their
Seeing that I didn't speak, Patrick increased the strength in his hand as if he was about to crush my chin. I felt pain. But I bit my lips tightly to prevent myself from making a sound. Seeing that I didn't say anything, Patrick said, "Charlotte Archer, tell me, how did you fool the Head of the Archer Family and let her speak up for you!" The strength in his hand grew stronger. My chin didn't feel the pain any longer. Instead, it was numb. Finally, he let go of my chin, grabbed my waist with his big palm, and was about to tear my clothes off directly! I was so angry that I struggled and finally shouted, "Don't..." Seeing that I made a sound, Patrick seemed to be interested. He raised his hand and pressed a button. Then a black partition slowly rose between the front and rear seats of the car... As the division was completely raised, the rear seat had become a closed space. Regardless of my resistance, Patrick didn't have any foreplay and went s
