Patrick’s heart skipped a beat, hastily answering the phone, “Grandpa, is there something you need?”
“Patrick, did I disturb you?” Old Pansy’s low voice transmitted through the airwaves.
“No, Grandpa, what’s up?” Patrick inquired, showing concern.
“Oh, nothing much,” Old Pansy casually said, “I just wanted to ask, how do you plan to handle your mom and Melissa?”
“Grandpa, for what they’ve done to hurt you, I won’t let it slide. Rest assured, they won’t have a chance to harm you again in the future.”
Thinking about Beatrice and Melissa’s actions, Patrick’s handsome face involuntarily turned a bit colder.
“Are you planning to keep them locked up for a lifetime?” Old Pansy frowned.
“Why not?” Patrick smirked, a bit puzzled by his grandpa’s tone.
“Anyway, she’s your mother. Let them out in a few days,” Old Pansy squinted, his tone devoid of any emotion.
Patrick was taken aback by his words.
Did he hear correctly?
Did his grandpa just ask him to release Beatrice and Melissa?
Did grandpa forget how they poisoned him?
“Grandpa, why?” Patrick’s eyes were deep, carrying a hint of coldness and confusion.
Old Pansy sighed lightly, “Grandpa is getting old, just wanting the family to reunite and live a peaceful life. Since your mom and Melissa know they were wrong, give them a chance to repent.”
Patrick remained silent for several seconds before responding, “Okay, I understand.”
“That’s it then.” Old Pansy, with an unpleasant expression, hung up the phone.
He didn’t know if what he did was right or wrong, but either way, he didn’t want Patrick to know about the past events of the Pansy family.
After hanging up, Patrick still couldn’t comprehend why his grandpa suddenly asked him to release Beatrice and Melissa.
Grandpa was always decisive and unyielding, never soft-hearted. Why the sudden change?
Seeing Patrick silent after taking the call, Jane asked suspiciously, “What happened?”
Patrick regained his composure, his voice cold as he replied, “Grandpa asked me to release my mom and Melissa.”
“Why?” Jane was equally puzzled.
Patrick shook his head helplessly, “I don’t know why grandpa suddenly changed his mind. He said he wants to give my mom and Melissa a chance to repent.”
Repent?
Jane smirked, immediately envisioning the faces of Beatrice and Melissa in her mind.
If they had any conscience left, they wouldn’t have committed the heinous act of poisoning Old Pansy.
Did Old Pansy really believe they would repent?
“Do you believe that?” Jane’s lips curled into a mocking smile as she asked.
Patrick’s deep and cold gaze answered, “Believe it or not, since grandpa has spoken, I can’t go against his wishes.”
“Aren’t you afraid they might pull something again?” Jane’s heart tightened.
Patrick spoke sternly, “I won’t give them another chance. I’ll have someone keep a close eye on them.”
Jane nodded thoughtfully.
She still didn’t understand why Old Pansy suddenly wanted Patrick to release these two.
It didn’t fit Old Pansy’s usual style.
Could it be that people grow softer with age?
But since Patrick said so, Jane couldn’t say much more.
After all, it was the family matter of the Pansy family.
Doyle Group Building.
Florence, dressed to the nines, took the elevator to the top floor and headed straight for the CEO’s office.
She knocked on the door, hearing Peter’s cool voice, “Come in.”
“Florence!” Peter looked up, “What brings you here?”
Florence twirled in front of Peter, “Brother, do I look beautiful today?”
“Very beautiful,” Peter’s gaze showed a hint of doting on his sister.
Florence proudly raised her chin.
Today was the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Doyle Group, and a grand banquet would be held in the evening. As the heiress of the Doyle Group, she naturally had to attend in style, becoming the most dazzling woman at the event. Moreover, tonight she had more important things to do.
Tonight, she would become Patrick’s woman!
She deliberately chose a strap V-neck short dress, both charming and elegant, and she thought Patrick would like it.
Tonight’s plan had to be a success; there was no room for failure!
Thinking about this, she happily approached, hugging Peter’s neck, “Brother, Patrick will come to the evening banquet, right?”
Peter, looking at his infatuated sister, answered somewhat helplessly, “He said he would come yesterday.”
“Then he shouldn’t change his mind, right?” Florence’s voice carried a hint of nervousness.
If Patrick suddenly changed his mind and didn’t come to the banquet tonight, all her efforts would be in vain.
Peter furrowed his brow slightly, “I don’t know, but he shouldn’t.”
“Brother, just give him a call to remind him,” Florence tugged at Peter’s arm, acting cute.
“Florence, haven’t you given up on Patrick yet?” Peter’s face tightened, “You’ve seen the recent uproar online – Patrick has an engaged fiancee and a former lover, and he’s entangled with both. Florence, there are plenty of good men in the world. Let me introduce you to some better ones.”
“Brother, I only like him, you should know that,” Florence’s expression turned a bit sour, “Besides, I just want to see him, I’m not asking for anything more. Brother, you wouldn’t refuse to make a phone call, would you?”
Peter shook his head helplessly.
He took out his phone, dialed Patrick’s number, and put it on speaker.
“Mr. Doyle, is there something you need?” Patrick’s magnetic voice came through the phone.
Under Florence’s hopeful gaze, Peter cleared his throat and said, “Nothing major, just a reminder. Don’t forget to attend the Doyle Group’s evening banquet tonight and show your support.”
“Sure, I’ll be there on time,” Patrick sounded somewhat surprised. Peter called him just to remind him about the banquet?
When did Peter become so free?
With Patrick’s affirmative answer, Peter thanked him and hung up.
“Florence, are you reassured now?” Peter raised an eyebrow.
“Thank you, big brother!” Florence was full of joy, and she lowered her head to give Peter’s cheek a kiss, “I knew my big brother cares the most about me!”
With that, Florence cheerfully walked out of the CEO’s office.
She was eagerly looking forward to tonight!
