Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 175

When I saw Jeremy, I suddenly realized that it would be best if I could get information from him.

I went over and greeted him.

Then I asked him about Mabel.

Jeremy hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Mabel violated the rule that nobody should use personal cell phones in the resort."

I asked again, "Using her personal cell phone? Who did she get in touch with?"

But this time, Jeremy stopped talking.

He shook his head and waved his hands at me, "I can't tell you anything about this."

"Why?"

I chased after Jeremy, only to see him looked embarrassed as he said, "Miss Archer, you have helped me before. And I am very grateful for that, which is the reason why I revealed Mabel's matter to you. As for other things, I indeed can't tell you anything more."

I see.'

Hearing his words, I knew what was going on.

"Who else could it be?"

I knew what had happened without any further guessing needed. So I thanked Jeremy and went home alone.

Sitting in the small house and looking up at the hydrogen balloon floating above my head, I seemed to be in a better mood.

"It seems that I can finally try to get Patrick out of my mind."

"It is indeed a good thing."

To stop myself from thinking randomly, I turned on the TV and took out my cell phone to browse the news on the Internet.

My laptop had been taken away by Caroline. I couldn't work at home.

After I took out my cell phone and browsed the newsfeed on Facebook, I saw a report titled "The CEO of Towering High Announced to Cancel His Marriage Engagement."

This title immediately caught my eyes.

I clicked open the report and quickly browsed the content, feeling extremely complicated in my heart.

The news clearly stated that Patrick had made a unilateral announcement of canceling the marriage engagement between him and Caroline. When the reporters asked Patrick about the reason, he personally said that he had carried on too many things before and ignored someone he should have cared about.

Seeing this, I was a little nervous.

"Is he talking about me?"

However, the latter half of the news stated that based on the reporters' speculation, this matter had something to do with the crisis of Archer's Group. And it was because of this marriage engagement that Archer's Group, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, managed to stabilize the situation.

Now that Patrick announced to break off the engagement, which would no doubt deal a heavy blow to the collapsing Archer's Group.

I searched for other keywords related to this matter online.

Some people specifically speculated on the reason why Patrick had canceled his engagement with Caroline.

And someone revealed that Archer's Group had held a temporary board meeting this afternoon.

Everyone in the outside world speculated that they should gather to discuss the bankruptcy

this time.

In fact, Rosy was the only one connecting Archer's Group and me together. Now that Rosy had passed away. As for whether Archer's Group would go bankrupt or not, it had nothing to do with me.

I turned off my cell phone and went to bed after taking a shower.

To be continued...

The next day, at the time of getting off work, I packed up my things and went out. Then I saw my colleagues looking at me with a strange look in their eyes.

When I walked out, I saw Patrick standing at the door.

He was wearing a formal gem-blue suit.

He stood there with a bunch of Hydrangea in his hands.

Standing where I was, I realized right away that he was waiting for me!

My first reaction wasn't to walk up and meet him head-on but to retreat.

No, instead of retreating, I turned my head and ran away!

When I was running, I heard the sounds of Patrick chasing after me. The next second, I felt someone hugging me from behind. Then Patrick's slightly hoarse voice came from the top of my head, "I broke off everything I should have broken off. Shouldn't you give me a chance?"
