Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 309

Shelton shook the agreement in his hands and asked, "Do you want it?"

"There's no need." Patrick refused directly.

I knew why he refused.

Because I could foresee Shelton's conditions later.

"Is that so? That's too much of a pity."

Shelton gave Roger a wink.

Roger immediately brought over a small fish tank from the lounge.

Shelton smiled, raised the portable hard drive high, and placed it above the tank, saying, "Since you don't want it, I'll throw it inside. Let me warn you in advance. It is the only one. And there's no backup for it."

Hearing what he said, I suddenly became nervous in my heart, intending to move.

However, with Patrick firmly wrapping around my shoulders with his fingers, I couldn't move at all.

"Throw it at your free will."

Patrick said calmly.

But I couldn't be like him. Staring at Patrick, I said, "You are crazy. It's all your money inside."

"Not too much. It can't be even on par with than how much Uncle Shelton spent today." Patrick had a cold and sinister look in his eyes.

It seemed that the portable hard drive in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Shelton withdrew his hand, took out a piece of paper, and carefully wiped the portable hard drive with it. While wiping the drive, he said, "Patrick, I advise you not to be so stubborn. If it's not too much money, how can Towering High be so miserable? This project will soon bear a result. I heard that you had spent a lot of money ordering equipment from a factory and that you intended to roll out the production. Are you sure that it's just a little money?"

When Shelton said this, I could clearly feel that Patrick pressed against my shoulders with a little more force.

Shelton had hit the nail on the head.

Straightening up his back, Patrick didn't seem to be overshadowed by Shelton at all.

However, I knew that he was distressed in his heart.

Patrick had always been an upright businessman, earning every penny through his hard work.

"You don't need to worry about these things for me, Uncle Shelton. If you want to throw it away, do it quickly. After that, we can leave."

After Patrick finished his words calmly, he leaned on the back of the sofa.

He folded his legs.

And he looked quite lazy.

"Oh." Shelton raised the hard drive again, "Since you said so, Patrick, there's nothing I can do about it. Please apologize on my behalf to the tens of thousands of employees in Towering High who are about to lose their jobs."

"Wait."

Hearing Shelton's words, Patrick could no longer sit still.

Shelton seemed to have known that Patrick was a responsible boss.

He looked up at Patrick, "What's wrong?"

"Tell me, what's the condition? I can accept any condition except for the one asking for her."

Patrick spoke directly.

However, Shelton said, "I only want her. And you can take anything else."

"It's impossible."

Patrick refused.

"Then I'm sorry." After Shelton finished his words, he stood up and let go of the hard drive in his

hands...

The black hard drive automatically dropped down.

"No!"

I shouted in my mind and rushed straight over to catch the hard drive in my hands. With my body falling directly, I pressed my back against the fish tank.

And I fell to the side!

I felt that my spine was in so much pain!

I lay on the tea table in pain and dared not move at all.

However, at this time, all the bodyguards rushed over and wanted to snatch the portable hard drive away from me!

But I clung to it tightly. I wanted to give it to Patrick!

As soon as I reached out, all the bodyguards blocked in front of me and stood in Patrick's way. Shelton slightly leaned over and helped me up little by little, saying sadly, "Are you okay?"

Enduring the pain, I sat up from the tea-table. While holding the portable hard drive in my hands tightly, I looked at Shelton with vigilance.

Shelton smiled faintly, put his hand on my head, and gently patted it twice, "Don't be afraid, I won't grab it."

"This thing belongs to Patrick. Aren't you family members? Why do you have to do this?" I looked at Shelton.

I tried to persuade him.

However, hearing this, Shelton had a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, saying, "Family members? As the dignified boss of Towering High, has he ever treated me as his uncle for one day?"

"From the first day you entered the Cowell Family, I knew you were ambitious and wicked."

Patrick spoke across the bodyguards.

"Really?" Shelton stood up and walked to Patrick step by step, "Ambitious and wicked? Mr. Cowell, when you and your father were crowned with the surname Cowell, enjoying the best lives and living

on the top while being flattered, did you ever thought where I was?"

Patrick looked at him without saying anything.

Shelton stood up and looked down at Patrick, saying, "My mother was sick. When I was at my worst, I could only wear a sweater that others didn't want in winter and through which the cold wind could creep everywhere. I ate the soup cooked by the leftover leaves in the vegetable market. I often vomited acid water because of hunger. Even so, I had to work hard by washing dishes. I dared not spend money at my free will. Because I had to use it to buy medicine for my mother."

"Shelton..."

Hearing Shelton's words, I suddenly felt a twinge of sadness in my heart.

"Did Shelton live such a life in the past?"

"You didn't expect that, did you?" Shelton looked at me and then at Patrick, "So whenever I saw Ned's and your news on the TV in the restaurant, I hated you!"

"We all made our choices." Patrick stood up and put his hands in his pockets, "According to my grandfather, he got drunk that day. After that, he gave your mother a lot of money, asking her to abort the child. But your mother didn't listen to him and insisted on giving birth to you. And then she kept asking Grandfather for money. My grandfather gave her money at first. Later, your mother got addicted to gambling and became overwhelmingly greedy. So..."

"Shut up!" Shelton had a fake smile on his face, "Even so, there is nothing wrong with the child! Patrick, you are the best one in the Cowell Family. After you die, I will definitely divide your corpse into three pieces and send one to your parents abroad and one to your beloved aunt. Then I will

personally bring your head to your grandfather."

After he said that, all the bodyguards in the room suddenly took out guns from their clothes!

Several of them, who were close to Patrick, pointed guns at the back of his head, his chest, and his abdomen.

The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became very tense! This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"No!"

For a moment, I was frightened. I dared not move and could only look at Shelton.

Shelton waved to me, saying once again, "Janetta, come here."

This time, I was obedient. I walked to Shelton bit by bit, stood by his side, and stood there obediently.

Resting his hand on my head, he patted my head gently, "Good girl."

Seeing that there were so many guns, I was so scared that I was sweating. Staring at Shelton nervously, I begged him, "Give this hard drive back to him. Let him go. I'll marry you. I... I promise I'll never contact him again, okay?"

I pleaded with Shelton.

Shelton took me into his arms, bowed his head, and gently kissed my forehead, saying, "Well, it's

up to you."

At this time, Roger came over to me and held out his hand to me.

However, Shelton shook his head and said, "Janetta, go there by yourself. Give the thing back to Patrick. And repeat what you said just now to him."

As the saying goes, torturing a man's heart rather than sever his body.

Shelton had indeed gone too far.

However, I had no choice.

With the hard drive in my hands, I walked towards Patrick step by step, intending to give him the hard drive.

However, as soon as I got close to Patrick, he stretched out his hand and pulled me to his side.
