Chapter 47
It was probably because that I was titled as Mrs. Cowell that her words made I feel sad.
Even if I refused to admit it, the truth was right in front of me.
This piece of land was located in the downtown of City Y where every inch of land worthed a lot. Moreover, it was not far from the office building of Patrick's Towering High Group.
The value of this place was immeasurable.
Since Patrick was willing to buy this land for Caroline, it meant that she was very important to him.
Looking at Caroline, I sneered and said, "My husband is so blessed, who has taken both of us in. Especially you, Caroline, as a mistress, you enjoy this title with great relish."
"You!" Caroline started to get angry. But soon, she calmed down and said, "Don't be proud. You are a woman with a criminal record. I will see how the Cowell Family can tolerate you!"
"Can't they tolerate me? My husband has already concealed the fact that I went to jail
for me. Grandpa Cowell only knows that I went abroad for further study."
As soon as my words came out, Caroline's face turned pale with anger.
It was obvious that she didn't know these things.
The reason why I said so on purpose today was to provoke her into making a scene and exposing the fact that I went to jail.
In this way, I could also get rid of this deformed marriage between me and Patrick.
That night after Caroline left, I received a phone call from Patrick.
"Why did you tell Caroline what I had said to Grandpa?"
As soon as I picked up the call, I heard Patrick's angry roar. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Now, his emotions couldn't affect me at all.
I took the phone a little farther away as I said, "Mr. Cowell, don't you think you're torturing yourself as well while torturing me?"
"You are thinking highly of yourself."
Patrick's disdainful sneer came over the phone.
I went on to say, "Yes. Because we are a legal couple. So you treat me as something that belongs to you. Even if you think I make you sick, you still torture me as well as the ones around me with great effort. It is just because you can't accept the fact that your wife is such a person."
"So, please let me go and marry Caroline Archer. Mr. Cowell, you and I are not in the same class. I promise you that you won't see me again."
I said my words in a slow manner. On the one hand, I hoped that Patrick would figure it out and let me go.
He could also let go of himself.
More importantly, I hoped that he could spare this project.
I hoped that he wouldn't do anything to Glorious Seth Design, which was already on the verge of collapse.
Over the phone, Patrick was in a moment of silence.
When I was holding on to my hope, I heard Patrick say instead, "I won't let you off so easily!"
The next second, the phone was hung up.
I looked at the screen of my cell phone which had gone black, feeling helpless and worried.
However, a second later, the screen lit up again. I became hopeful again, only to see that the caller ID on it was "Seth Hyde".
I hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone in the end.
"Seth."
"Are you asleep? Will I disturb you so late?"
Seth's voice came over the phone. Although it sounded hoarse, it was gentle.
I suddenly felt warm in my heart and shook my head with the phone in my arms, "No. I haven't slept yet."
"Are you worried about the new project? I've heard that you stay there for more than 16 hours a day. Don't force yourself too much," Seth said.
"But... I think Patrick came to us on purpose by hiding his identity from us. He must have ulterior motives!"
The way I saw it, Patrick just wanted to defeat Seth.
It was just that he wanted me to have nowhere to shelter and hide.
"Then let's just take measures according to the situation. I can start over even if the company is gone. But you are unique to me. If you are exhausted, I will blame myself."
Seth's words indicated that he would always prioritize me.
But his words also made me even more guilty.
