Chapter 195
Even so, I knew myself well.
"Patrick is the boss of Towering High. Even if he allowed me to stay by his side with my current look, others in society wouldn't."
"Unless I don't see the light, once I do, I will be judged and scolded viciously."
"Pa..."
"Stop talking. Are you tired? Take a break. We'll arrive at the airport soon. I'll take you back."
Patrick interrupted my words decisively. Of course, he knew what I was going to say.
I lowered my eyes and didn't say anything. I just took my mask over and put it on silently.
Patrick pulled me with one hand and looked out of the window.
The atmosphere inside the car was quiet and depressing for a while. Then Patrick suddenly said, "Don't contact him again in the future."
"Him?"
"Your uncle?"
I looked at Patrick. And my mood was a little complicated.
"That's right. Don't interact with him anymore. He's..." Patrick hesitated for a moment, "It is not like whoever dressed in a white gown will be an angel. If you cut his heart open, it probably will be all black inside."
Over these days, I had a good impression of Shelton.
He had a sense of propriety. And he wouldn't make things difficult for me. He was very considerate.
When I heard Patrick judge him like this, I couldn't help but say, "Even though you judge him like this, he never says any bad things about you. I think there's a misunderstanding between you two."
"Hehe, could it be that he is a 'good' person simply because he never says anything ill about me?" Patrick looked at me. It seemed that it was because I was helping Shelton that the displeasure in his eyes was conspicuous. He said, "Never can you truly know someone. You should have heard of this saying. Don't think that others are good simply because they smile at you several times!"
"You are stupid! You are ignorant!"
Patrick said rudely.
He looked so annoyed that he didn't even want to say another word to me!
"Am I stupid?" I said to Patrick, "Yes, I'm stupid! That's why I still come back to your side despite I have been hurt by you over and over again! No matter how bad Shelton is, he hasn't hurt me! He..."
"It is enough!" Patrick interrupted me angrily!
He turned around and looked at me. The gentleness in his eyes when he said that he only hoped I could stay by his side just now had long disappeared without a trace.
Instead, the look in his eyes couldn't be colder.
Patrick removed my mask, "So? So what are you going to do? If I give you a chance, do you want me to call you 'Auntie' one day?"
I was stunned.
"What?" I looked at Patrick in disbelief, "What are you talking about? I'm so much younger than him. In his eyes, I'm just a child. And he's just like my elder. Could it be that in your eyes, men and women have to love each other?"
As Patrick heard my words, his face was full of sarcasm.
He took my hand with a burning look in his eyes, "Even though you think so, are you sure he thinks so as well? I'm a businessman. So is he. If he's not helping you because of his feelings for you, he's doing it for the sake of benefits!"
Patrick's words stunned me.
"He's just..." I couldn't tell what was wrong for a moment.
Shelton was indeed quite kind to me.
But how could I believe that there were some benefits behind this?
Patrick looked at me and gently stroked my hair, "I'm the only one who loves you. So you should only stay with me."
"But, I don't have anything on me that can bring him any benefits at all."
I explained reluctantly.
I surely wouldn't believe that Shelton had done everything for me because of some kinds of benefits.
"If that's the case, I'll be disappointed."
Patrick looked at me and seemed to realize my unwillingness. He hesitated for a moment and took me into his arms, "Nothing. Forget him. I won't let you see him again in the future."
His words made my heart beat faster.
"What did he mean by saying so?"
I raised my head to look at Patrick, "Are you going to..."
"No, he is my uncle. How could I do such a thing?"
As soon as he finished his words, the car also stopped.
I turned my head and saw that the departure hall of the airport was next to the car. Judging from the appearance, it was the same airport which I had seen when I had come here.
Patrick gave the mask back to me, "Let's go. I'll take you to buy a flight ticket."
With Patrick by my side, I surely got a first-class flight ticket.
We boarded the plane soon. By the time we got on the plane together, two people had been sitting in the seats next to ours in the outside.
Among them, a woman was wearing a large pair of sunglasses that covered half of her face.
Even so, I still felt that she looked a little familiar.
When I looked at her, I saw that she seemed to be looking at me as well.
Or rather, she was looking at us.
The woman looked at us for a second and quickly took off her sunglasses. She stood up and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Cowell, Miss Archer, I haven't seen you for a while. How have you been?"
"She is..."
I recognized this woman at a glance! NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
She was Stanley Lance who had tricked me.
When I was put in prison back then, she had a contribution to it. No, it should be a huge contribution!
Patrick glanced at her and didn't say anything. He pulled me to sit down.
However, Stanley didn't seem to mind Patrick's cold treatment of her. She said with a smile, "Mr. Cowell, I haven't thanked you for giving me such a good resource back then! Later, I always wanted to contact you. But I couldn't get in touch with you..."
Stanley had tricked me so mercilessly back then. But now she saw me. How come she didn't feel ashamed at all?
It was so abnormal.
And she said that Patrick was the one who had given her the good resources at the moment...
Unless...
"I remember that you promised me that you wouldn't return from abroad."
When I was making wild guesses, Patrick, who was next to me, suddenly spoke.
Her words made Stanley's face change. She looked at Patrick somewhat unnaturally, "Mr. Cowell, I, I am not... No... My father is sick. I have no choice but to do this. Besides, Charlotte Archer is now..."
"Get off the plane!"
Stanley mentioned my name.
And Patrick intended to drive her away directly.
Stanley was at a loss. Until now, she seemed to haven't realized who I was!
"Mr. Cowell, Mr. Cowell... I..."
"Get off the plane! Don't let me say it the third time." Patrick's voice was as cold as ice.
Based on the current situation, no matter how stupid I was, I knew what had happened!
It seemed that Stanley dared not to offend Patrick at all. Patrick had asked her to get off the plane. Although she was reluctant, she had to do as he said.
When she was going to take her luggage and go down, I reached out and grabbed her, "Don't go. Finish your words!"
I looked at Patrick again, "Mr. Cowell, what's wrong? Why don't you let her finish her words? Is there anything that you can't let me know?"
As soon as I spoke, Stanley realized who I was!
Her face was as pale as a piece of paper. She shook her hands desperately and shut her mouth tightly.
She dared not to say a word at all!
She wasn't the same as what she used to be at all. Back then, I begged her to testify for me. She said arrogantly to me, "I am filming in another city!"
"Tell me! Why did Mr. Cowell introduce his resources to you? What did you do?"
A lot of things had been over.
Even so, the wound didn't heal. When Stanley appeared, the wound that had been buried in my heart was revealed again.
And the blood in it was exposed!
