When Patricia and Randy arrived at Basque Taste, Hunter had been waiting for a while.Today, Hunter wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge. His plain white shirt and black pants made him look slightly younger than when they last met, giving off a hint of his youthful high school days.The person in front of her involuntarily overlapped with the one in her mind.Patricia seemed to have found her childhood happiness again and couldn't help but smile, "Hunter, didn't we agree on half past eleven? It's not that time yet!"Hunter teasingly said with a smile, "I'm not used to making girls wait." Then he shifted his gaze to Randy, "Is this your son?"Patricia quickly pulled Randy forward and introduced him, "This is my son, Randy. Randy, this is Mommy's former neighbor, Hunter. Quickly call him Uncle Hunter.""Randy, hello! I didn't know your Mommy would bring you here today.""So I didn't buy you a gift," Hunter took out a candy from his pocket. "Do you like candies? I'l
Patricia and Hunter were engrossed in their conversation when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the private room."Mr. Langley, I'm really sorry. It was our employee's mistake. Room 001 has already been booked. Would you mind waiting a moment? I'll talk to the guests inside and see if they're nearly done.""If it's already booked, we can switch to another private room.""All the rooms are full! The guests in Room 001 have been here for a while now, so they should be almost done. Let me go in and check!""Alright!"Before Patricia could respond, the door was opened without warning. The manager, with a bowed waist, walked in with apologetic expression, "I apologize for the mistake made by our front desk. This private room was booked by someone last night, and the front desk didn't know, so they double-booked it for you. Look, have you finished your meal? If you have, can you vacate the room? As an apology, this meal will be complimentary, and I'll also give you 500 dollars in cas
Martin sneered, lips pulled back, "Does he, a grown man, need you to accompany him to buy clothes? Afraid of getting lost?""...?" Patricia really wanted to reply, "What's it to you?" But with Randy by her side, fearing his wild imagination, she forced the words down.Seeing her not answering, Martin's expression grew even more unpleasant.Alan and Luke were sitting on pins and needles, unable to bear it any longer. Alan mustered up the courage to speak, "Boss, we haven't resolved the matter of the new product launch yet. Should we go back and handle it first?"Martin ignored them completely, his hawk-like eyes darkly fixed on Patricia, as if he wanted to drill a hole right through her.With the boss remaining silent, Alan and Luke didn't dare to leave and could only obediently sit there.The atmosphere was oppressive, suffocating.Patricia seemed oblivious to Martin's gaze, her attention solely on Randy."Randy, you're not feeling well, so you can't eat spicy food, and you need to ta
Patricia intentionally guided Martin to the men's clothing evaluation section.While the clothes here were affordable, they boasted a wide array of styles, staying in step with current fashion trends.From the instant Martin entered the evaluation area, his brows knitted in disapproval, a look of displeasure etching across his face.Martin had a bitter feeling in his heart as he listened, "The budget section is fine! It's good to occasionally change your taste.""Is that so?" Patricia smirked slyly and pointed at a wine-colored wool coat on a mannequin behind the glass window. "If you want to change your taste, I think that coat looks good. You can try it on."Martin was used to wearing black custom suits all year round.He couldn't care less about clothes like this, especially in burgundy. He wouldn't even look at it. Knowing that she was intentionally provoking him, Martin wouldn't humor her. With a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, he readily agreed, "Why not give it a try?"
Martin's good mood instantly vanished, his smile freezing on his face. Before he could clearly see who it was, someone rushed over and affectionately held his arm."Martin, what are you doing here?"Martin's displeasure was evident as he asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"Debbie's face displayed shyness. "My mom and I came shopping and saw you in the elevator, so we came over to take a look! This is the budget area, why would you be here?"Glancing at the shopping bags next to her, her expression immediately darkened."Martin, did you buy all of these? How can you wear such inexpensive clothes? Be careful of getting skin diseases!"Randy and Patricia exchanged glances and grimaced, speechless.Patricia couldn't help but strike back, "I've been wearing budget clothes for many years, but why haven't I gotten any skin diseases? Other people wear them just fine, it's only you who's so delicate and can't wear cheap clothes."Debbie's face turned pale, and she lowered her head in sha
Patricia caught a glimpse of Manda's reaching hands from a billboard on the wall. Her gaze sharpened, and she swiftly moved aside, evading her clutches. Manda didn't expect her to dodge, and her body lost balance, falling forward. Her instinctive reflex was to find something to support herself, and just as she was about to touch Patricia's arm, Patricia smirked and deliberately moved her arm away. "Ah..." A scream echoed, and Manda tumbled down the stairs, writhing in pain on the ground, wailing incessantly. Patricia patted the area that had almost been touched by Manda, preparing to go down and check on her condition, when suddenly Debbie rushed out from behind. Followed by Martin and Randy. A hint of darkness passed through the ink-colored pupils of Martin's eyes, and it was unclear what he was thinking. Debbie rushed down the stairs, wanting to help Manda up, but as soon as she reached out, Manda screamed in pain. "It hurts, it hurts... Don't touch me, it feels like my bones are br
After returning to the hospital, Randy tightly held Martin's hand, emotionally saying, "Daddy, do you really believe Mommy pushed her? They are clearly framing Mommy."Martin comfortingly stroked his head, "I know you're worried about Mommy! Don't worry, I won't let Mommy suffer from false accusations."Upon hearing this, Randy's eyes gleamed."Do you have a way to prove Mommy's innocence?""Yes!" Martin nodded. "You stay just stay herein the hospital room. I'll go check on your grandmother's condition first, and then I'll go to the detention center to see Mommy. If you have anything, call me or find Alan."Randy agreed said, "Okay! Hurry up, Daddy. Make sure to rescue Mommy quickly.""Alright."With a smile, Martin promised and instructed the nurse to take good care of Randy before leaving.Manda was rushed into the emergency room for treatment. Debbie worriedly paced back and forth outside, while Gavin also arrived upon hearing the news and coincidentally bumped into Martin in the h
The smile on Patricia's lips deepened as she calmly looked at them, showing no sign of panic. "To bring a knife in, Debbie must have paid a hefty sum, right?"Unexpectedly, her calmness infuriated the tattooed woman."Damn it, you're looking down on us! Watch as I scratch up your face!" she shouted, intending to swipe the fruit knife across Patricia's face.But right when the blade was about to touch Patricia's cheek, their movements suddenly halted."What's wrong with you...?" the scar-faced woman wondered, but before she could finish her sentence, she too froze.Both women stiffened, their spines straightened, their faces filled with disbelief.Patricia wickedly lifted the corner of her mouth and smirked, "You thought you were the only ones prepared, didn't you?""Come on? I knew Debbie wouldn't let me off easily, so I was prepared. If you have the guts, make a move and see who's faster, you or me."The two fat women looked down at the fruit knives pressed against their lower abdome
