“Thank you for telling me so much. I’m also glad to come here with April today,” Jane said, calming her mood and expressing gratitude to the headmistress.
Jane turned around and watched April playing with the children, the sunlight shining through the window and casting a warm glow on April.
April waved at her, smiling. “Jane, come over here!”
And so, Jane spent the whole day at the orphanage with them.
She had an incredibly happy day and even felt a joy she hadn’t experienced before.
In the car:
“I’ve already had someone write the PR case, the agent will contact you tonight. If you’re ready to release it, just confirm with the agent !” Jane had unraveled the mystery in her heart, and the gloom on her face had also dissipated.
April happily linked her arm with Jane’s. “Jane, you’re the best to me.”
Jane had the driver take them back together, but she drove alone to the building of Patrick’s company. Looking up, she saw the lights still on upstairs, knowing that Patrick hadn’t left. He was probably busy with company matters.
The next day:
Patrick had been staying in the company for the past few days and hadn’t gone home.
He wanted to settle everything before giving Jane an explanation.
“Mr. Pansy, Lena is here and says she wants to see you!”
Patrick had already anticipated that she would come, so he had been waiting for her here.
“Let her in.”
Lena walked in with a gloomy expression and threw her bag directly on the sofa.
“What do you mean by this? Stabbing me in the back? Intentionally undermining me?” Lena said, her words filled with frustration.
Patrick didn’t rush to respond to her words but leisurely poured a cup of coffee for her and placed it on the table. He calmly said, “Isn’t this the result you wanted?”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying! Do you know how hard it was for me to enter this department? Wasn’t it easy for you to just bring me down with a few words?” Lena received an anonymous report letter as soon as she arrived at the office today. It accused her of abusing her position, colluding with outsiders, and suppressing Pansy Group.
Moreover, the evidence provided was very clear, and the judicial department directly sent people to investigate, resulting in her immediate dismissal!
For her, this was undoubtedly a major blow. The amount of effort she had put into climbing to this position was something no one would understand.
And Patrick easily trapped her in an unjust situation with just one letter.
“If you were truly innocent, even if I reported you, it shouldn’t have brought you down so quickly,” Patrick looked at her with a hint of mockery in his deep eyes, as if he could see through her.
“You!” Lena was so angry that she couldn’t even express herself clearly. “I was sent here by your grandfather!”
Patrick snorted lightly. He had finally heard her say these words. “You’ve been keeping this in your heart for a long time, haven’t you? Don’t you feel suffocated?”
Lena’s heart skipped a beat and she retorted, “You knew all along, didn’t you?”
In fact, Patrick had known since the company discovered someone tampering with things. He knew who it was, but he couldn’t act recklessly now. He wanted to see what the person behind it was up to.
Until the day Mike suddenly came and said a bunch of inexplicable things to him.
Mike forbade anything happening in the overseas companies to be leaked or reach his ears.
Unless the person behind it voluntarily told Mike.
“You’re just too good. You send me flowers, celebrate my birthday, and even followed me home to annoy my wife. With all that you’ve done, what’s your real intention?”
In reality, Patrick knew about Lena’s secret actions, but he wanted to see what other tricks she had up her sleeve.
“Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention one thing. You bribed a private detective close to Jane and made them spread false information to my wife. And you even used the name Candy. What gives you the right?” Patrick laid out everything Lena had done in front of her.
Lena was dumbfounded, thinking that her plans were foolproof and that no one would discover them.
But she didn’t realize that every step she took fell right into Patrick’s plan.
“Can you please withdraw that anonymous letter?” Lena began to plead, her voice filled with grievance.
However, these pleas only annoyed Patrick even more.
“Why should I withdraw it? You interfered with the achievements our company had worked so hard for, directly damaging our finances. I don’t believe Mike would have instructed you to do that,” Patrick said angrily, glancing at the items on the sofa with disgust and throwing them on the floor.
“It was Mike who told me to prevent you from having any further contact with Jane, to keep me between the two of you, because Jane couldn’t conceive a child,” Lena finally revealed her ultimate goal.
When Mike approached her at the time, she had initially refused in every possible way. However, the moment she heard it was Patrick, she immediately agreed. She admitted that she liked Patrick.
She also knew that her position now was all thanks to Mike.
Upon hearing this, Patrick burst into laughter. When did their family become like this?
“Where is Mike now?”
“I don’t know, I really don’t know,” Lena instinctively shook her head.
Patrick held her chin, his eyes staring straight at her. “Speak!”
Lena was frightened, stuttering as she said, “He’s at a hotel!”
Afterward, Patrick took her to the hotel where Mike was staying.
He knocked forcefully on the door, and soon Mike came to open it. His expression immediately changed upon seeing Patrick standing outside.
“Have you taken care of the company’s matters?” Mike asked coldly.
“Whether things have been taken care of or not, don’t you know best?” Patrick retorted.
Lena stood behind them.
“I’m sorry, Mike. I couldn’t accomplish the task you entrusted to me,” Lena apologized with her head lowered.
Mike became furious and almost hit her with his cane. “Get out! Get out!”
Lena was kicked out of the room, leaving only the two of them.
“Grandpa, why do you have to resort to such despicable means if there’s something you’re dissatisfied with?”
Patrick couldn’t understand why he had to repeatedly resort to unethical actions.
