Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 104

I was stunned as I said, "How could it be? I'm not you anyway."

I, who knew myself well, was aware that I wasn't overwhelmingly good-looking. Setting aside the fact that I was with Patrick, it was probably because I had been greatly blessed in my last life that someone as perfect as Seth would like me.

"But in terms of this matter, if it is someone else who did this, then this person is most likely to like you. In this way, you will break up with Seth. And there will be animosity between you and Patrick. In this case, won't this person be reaping the third party benefits?"

Lisa analyzed the situation for me in a logical way.

I thought that her words did make some senses.

However...

"I don't have a large social circle. If you ask me to think of a third man, I don't even know who I should choose."

I smiled bitterly at Lisa.

Later, Lisa told me other things, which were mainly about her work and some strange clients she had met.

Her words amused me so much so that I couldn't help laughing. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Time passed by quietly.

Neither Lisa nor I realized it.

Then Lisa and I heard a sharp braking sound coming from the opposite side of the road.

I tilted my head and saw a sports car.

"A Pagani?"

Before I could recognize whose car it was, I heard Lisa say the brand of the car.

At the same time, it was clear that Lisa swallowed hard.

The next second, the door of the car, which looked like swings, rose. And I saw Patrick getting out of the passenger seat and walking to me with a serious expression as if he were going to swallow me alive!

I felt a shiver in my heart.

I stood up, intending to run away at once!

But Patrick walked too fast. Before I could lift my legs, he walked up to me and grabbed my arm, "Why didn't you tell me that you would go out?"

"I'm just having a meal with Lisa."

Patrick looked at me, "What about your cell phone? You aren't answering my call!"

I took out my cell phone and saw that it had been turned off. I tried to turn it on, only to see a tip saying that there was no power.

Seeing me turn on my cell phone, Patrick said, "Don't waste your time. I've called you so many times that your cell phone has been powered off." "Is my cell phone powered off after he called me many times?"

I remembered that my cell phone was fully chagred when I went out...

"Ouch, beauty..."

When Patrick was about to pull me home, another man got out of the car.

The man walked over, passed by us, and went straight to Lisa. Then he put his right hand on Lisa's left shoulder and slightly bent down, "We met each other again. Does it mean that it is the fate that binds us together?"

It was Roger Lance.

Lisa glanced at him and rolled her eyes, "I'll leave first." "Don't, beauty! You haven't told me your name yet!"

Roger wanted to chase after her. But Patrick warned him coldly, "Come back. Or I won't lend you this car."

Hearing Patrick's words, Roger immediately withdrew his legs, stopped chasing after Lisa, and stood beside us at a quick speed. Then he looked at me and said with a chuckle, "We managed to find you in the end. If we can't find you, my brother probably will call the police, asking them to search for the whole city."

"What?"

I looked up at Patrick.

Patrick rolled his eyes at Roger and said, "You are so noisy. Go and drive the car."

"Yes, yes!" Although Roger promised readily, he looked at Lisa's back reluctantly.

Roger sent us home. And Patrick took me upstairs. Along the way, he kept a cold face.

I was very nervous as well.

I wondered why he was angry as I thought, "Is it because I misunderstood him this afternoon or because I didn't pick up his call at night..."

I was even more worried about what would happen at home...

When the door of the house opened, I looked at the room where the lights were on, feeling a little scared instead.

I even wondered if Patrick would lock me up.

Or...

When I was having random guessing, Patrick stretched out his hand and pulled me into the house directly.

At that time, I suddenly became nervous and subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."

Before I could finish my words, Patrick suddenly hugged me.

He hugged me tightly.

I was stunnded where I was with my ear pressing against Patrick's chest.

At that moment, I only heard the sound of his strong heartbeat.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that I heard Patrick's voice above me, "Do you know that I almost went crazy? I thought you left with Seth and even asked someone to check your passport information."

I was stunned.

Patrick's voice sounded so affectionate at this moment.

"Patrick Cowell."

"Call me Patrick. I don't want to hear you call me by my full name."

"But..."

"Be good, darling."

His voice was particularly gentle. I stood there, feeling that I was almost overwhelmed by his gentleness.

Thinking of what Lisa said to me, I raised my hand and couldn't help hugging him, "I'm sorry, Patrick. I know that the matter has nothing to do with you. It is just that I heard your words over the phone call..."

I didn't know why I was like this tonight.

It was probably because I drank a little beer that I was somewhat out of my mind.

So I imagined the scene in front of me as what I had expected.

"Regarding that phone call..." Patrick hesitated for a moment when he heard I mention the phone call. Then he said, "It has nothing to do with you. Go to bed early."

Although I was a little drunk, I could sense that he was hiding something from me.

I went to bed. When I woke up the next day, Patrick wasn't by my side, which rarely happened.

Looking at the flat bed beside me, I realized that Patrick hadn't slept at home last night...

"Where did he go?"

As I wanted to have breakfast, I received a text from Lisa, which read, "I will take back what I said yesterday. Even if he didn't do that thing, he is not a good guy!"

Her text confused me.

I repied to her text, "What?"

Lisa's reply read, "Don't you know what happened? Don't you browse through the news feed on social media platforms? Don't you read gossip news at all?" After replying to my text, Lisa immediately forwarded a social media post link to me.

I clicked on it and glanced at the title.

The post was about Caroline, who was hit hard because of her plagiarism, tried to commit suicide and ended up being in the hospital. Moreover, the post read that Patrick made it up to his fiancee and went to the hospital to accompany her late at night.

There attached a photo taken from the window of the ward by someone.

The photo showed that Patrick was sitting by the bed, holding Caroline's hand.

Reading this post, I remembered what Patrick had said yesterday. Then I suddenly felt that I had been slapped hard in the face again.

I had always felt that I was taking revenge on Caroline Archer.

Now that based on the current situation, as for who on earth was taking revenge, I was confused about it for a moment.

I had posted the photos on social media platforms before. And Caroline was knocked off her pedestal. Her reputation was greatly damaged because of this matter. And Caroline Design Studio

was temporarily closed.

Ned personally showed up to do an interview, saying that if Caroline's plagiarism turned out to be true, the engagement between Patrick and her would be voided.

Even though the whole world was against Caroline now, so what?

Patrick was still on her side.

I was upset. Then I packed up my things and went back to my house.

When I entered the door, I happened to run into Shelton, who was going out.

He looked at me and smiled, "Why did you think of coming back?"

"Yes."

I just nodded dully.

I didn't know what to say.

Shelton didn't ask anything further. And he said goodbye to me and went out.

However, to my surprise, another piece of news appeared on the same day.

It was about Telma's death.

It turned out that after the matter related to the design drafts came out, someone secretly investigated the case of Telma's death.

A lot of evidence indicated that someone had murdered Telma. In that case, Caroline would necessarily be a suspect.
