Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Under the relentless bombardment of the reporters, Annie snapped out of her daze and glared at Jane with intense anger. It was all Jane’s doing! She had forced Annie to drink that glass of red wine, which made her embarrass herself in front of so many people.

“Jane, you bitch! You’re the one who caused this!” Annie shouted as she angrily got up and swung a slap at Jane.

But before Annie could even touch Jane, a large hand grabbed her and pushed her down hard onto the ground. When she looked up, she saw Bruce standing in front of her with his piercing blue eyes filled with disgust.

“Annie, I’m so disappointed in you for doing something like this. Are you really that shameless to be so desperate for any man? Do you have no morals?” Bruce accused.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Annie felt panicked under Bruce’s reproachful gaze. How could things have turned out like this? Even Bruce had come over and seen her with that blonde guy…

“It’s not true, Bruce! Please listen to me; I don’t even know him!” Annie quickly explained.

“My dear girl, why would you say such a thing when we both know each other so well?” The blonde guy spoke up unhappily as he slowly stood up from the sofa. “You said yourself that you love me more than anything else and would marry me.”

The blonde guy had been paid off to claim publicly that he was an old flame of hers from inside the conference room. Since he didn’t recognize Jane, he assumed it was Annie who he was supposed to be pretending about.

He then put on quite an act by wrapping his arm around Annie while saying: “Don’t be shy now my dear; we’re both adults here after all. It’s perfectly normal for men and women to enjoy each other’s company.”

“I don’t know you; let go of me!” cried out Annie as she pushed him away helplessly while pointing at Jane: “It was Jane! She drugged me! I don’t even know this man!”

The reporters present were quick-witted enough to catch onto those words: ‘drug’… This situation wasn’t simple at all, but nobody dared ask anything in front of Bruce and Patrick.

Florence understood what happened though – it must’ve been because Annie revealed something incriminating without realizing it, which led to being caught by Jane. Then Jane gave Annie that glass of red wine to drink, which led to the situation now.

Annie really couldn’t handle anything properly…even such small matters were messed up by herself!

“You bitch! You did this to me!” Annie just went crazy and wanted to fight Jane.

Bruce stepped in front of Jane, frowning as he questioned Annie, “Annie, why did Jane want to harm you? Weren’t you here tonight to apologize to her?”

Annie’s eyes flickered as she replied, “Yes, I came here with good intentions to apologize to Jane. But she plotted against me and harmed me instead.”

“Enough, Annie,” Jane said with a smirk. “Have you ever heard the saying ‘digging your own grave’?”

Annie had already been punished and Jane didn’t want to say anything more. But now that Annie was unrepentant and even tried to turn the tables on her by accusing her of drugging her drink, Jane wasn’t going easy on her.

Her eyes turned cold as she continued speaking. “You pretended to apologize but spiked my wine with drugs. Unfortunately for you, it backfired.”

“You’re lying! I didn’t do it!” Annie yelled uncontrollably.

She planned on denying everything and pinning the blame on Jane for drugging her instead.

“See for yourself then! This is your online purchase record of aphrodisiacs,” Jane threw the evidence in front of Annie’s face.

After giving that glass of red wine laced with drugs to Annie earlier that night, she had Anthony investigate into Annie’s purchase history – which led them straight into discovering this damning evidence.

The reporters saw the online purchase records and couldn’t help but express their disgust at what they saw.

“So it really was Annie doing it after all… I can’t believe it.”

“How despicable! Thank goodness Miss North didn’t fall for it!”

Faced with everyone’s criticism and condemnation towards her actions tonight – which were entirely self-inflicted – there was nothing left for Annie except silence.

“Annie, everything that happened today is a result of your own doing. You have only yourself to blame,” said Jane before turning around and leaving. She didn’t want to stay here for one more second.

Patrick took a long leg and followed. “Jane, where are you going?”

“Go home.” Jane said faintly.

She felt a little tired after a long night.

“I’m coming with you.” Patrick began in a quiet voice.

“Why are you coming with me?” Jane gave a cold, sarcastic smile. “Aren’t you going to dance with Florence?”

Dancing with Florence?

Patrick started to smile and said in a low voice, “Jane, you are jealous.”

“Who’s jealous?” Jane gave Patrick a dirty look.

Just then, the elevator arrived.

With a tremendous force at her waist, Jane is pulled into the elevator by Patrick.

Patrick took a step forward with his long legs, approaching Jane. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Jane, you’re jealous.”

“Jealous? Mr. Pansy, don’t be so conceited,” Jane rubbed her temples and avoided looking at him.

“Why won’t you face your feelings?” Patrick leaned against the elevator wall with both hands and trapped Jane inside.

The elevator was so small that Patrick surrounded Jane completely.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward at this moment.

Ding! The elevator arrived on the first floor and broke the awkwardness.

The elevator door opened automatically, and Jane quickly pushed Patrick away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

As she walked out of the elevator, she turned back to Patrick and said coldly, “You go back first. I have something to do.”

“It’s late now. What could you possibly have to do?” Patrick narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jane smirked and spoke in a cold tone,”That’s none of your business. Don’t follow me.”

After speaking, she walked to the entrance of the building and hailed a taxi.

Watching the taxi disappear into the distance made Patrick’s gaze involuntarily dim for a moment.

Where could this woman be going so late?

Sitting in the taxi, Jane felt inexplicably irritable. She took out her phone and sent Nana a text message:

[Come drink with me at Allure Bar.]

When she arrived at Allure Bar, Nana was already waiting for her there.”Here!” Nana waved to Jane as she approached

Jane sat down next to Nana. “Give me a cocktail,”she ordered

Nana handed her a glass of cocktail while smiling,”What happened, Jane? Are you feeling bad?”

“Nothing.”Jane drank up all of her cocktail in one gulp.

The dim lights in bar shone on her face. Jane’s fair skin, delicate features were faintly visible under these lights, giving off an air of mystery mixed with melancholy.

Nana poured another glass for Jane again,”Let me guess who made our Miss North angry. Is it Patrick?”
