Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Jane glanced around and realized there was no way out. This place was remote, and she had no idea where her phone had been thrown. Patrick probably hadn’t noticed her disappearance yet.

With no one to rely on, Jane knew she had to rely on herself. The rope behind her was tightly bound, but she was secretly trying to untie it without alerting Beatrice.

“Don’t think I don’t see through your words. It’s all just a ruse to deceive me. Once you’re out of here, none of it will matter. I know you all too well. Mike did the same to me, making me suffer in this family for over a decade without giving me anything or making any promises,” Jane said.

She had devoted herself to this family in the past, but she received no recognition from Mike and was denied any power. Other wives had a place in the company, but she could only be a nominal wife.

Because of this, she had a big fight with Patrick’s father, which made them feel like they were already divorced.

“Others may be able to deceive you, but I can’t. I’m completely at your mercy. If you have any demands, feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to fulfill them,” Jane said, once again clarifying her intentions-to gain Beatrice’s trust and free herself as soon as possible.

Beatrice hesitated, but this offer intrigued her.

“Can you really give me everything I want? Won’t you back out halfway? Let me tell you, don’t play any tricks. Right now, you need to listen to me carefully if you want to escape from here sooner,” Beatrice warned.

Beatrice knew that Jane was intelligent and wouldn’t be easily deceived. She was cautious in everything to avoid losing what she desired in the end.

“If you still don’t believe me, I can write you a note clearly stating what I promised you. Once I return to the company, I’ll immediately have the finance department fulfill it. Now, you should believe me, right?” Jane spoke sincerely, appearing flawless. She needed to gauge Beatrice’s response.

As expected, Beatrice took the bait.

She took out a piece of paper and a pen from the room and wrote down everything Jane had said.

“These are the conditions you promised me. Remember, I didn’t ask for them; you offered them. Keep that in mind,” Beatrice read aloud the contents written on the paper.

Jane closed her eyes and listened silently.

“Is there anything else you need to add?”

Beatrice asked after she finished reading.

“Just one more thing. I need to remind you that everything I have in the company belongs to me personally. Also, you need to hold a press conference to make this clear.”

Jane calmly nodded, aware of Beatrice’s cautious nature.

Afterward, Beatrice took out a stamp from her pocket, came behind Jane, and placed her hand on the stamp, holding Jane’s hand.

“Now, it’s all in black and white!”

Beatrice was satisfied with the outcome.

“You see, I didn’t deceive you, did I? Can you release my ropes now? How can I fulfill my promises to you if I don’t go back to the company?” Jane continued to manipulate Beatrice.

“Don’t play any tricks. I can tie you up at any time.”

Jane nodded silently, not saying anything. After Beatrice untied her, Jane rubbed her wrists, feeling the pain in her chest. She had no idea how long she had been bound in this place.

So she casually asked, “Where is my phone? I need to contact the company and have them prepare in advance.” Jane made her request, but Beatrice immediately refused.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“You can prepare after you return to the company. If I give you the phone now, you’ll just call for reinforcements. How can I trust you with that?” Beatrice replied.

Jane smiled silently and took out the transfer agreement, signing her name on it.

“You forced me to do it earlier, and now that I’ve signed it, it has more legal effect than those stamps. You should believe me now,” Jane said.

Beatrice couldn’t figure out what Jane was planning, so she had to take it step by step.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll trust you once again. Come with me back to your company,” Beatrice said, extending her hand for Jane’s phone.

“I threw away the phone. Anything you have to say can wait until we’re back at the company. I still have plenty of time, no need to rush.” It was clear that Beatrice still didn’t fully trust Jane and remained in a probing stage.

Jane had to change her strategy and go along with her words. “I knew it would come to this. I’m not in a hurry, and you don’t have to do much either.”

In this way, Jane didn’t retrieve her phone but had to ride with Beatrice as they prepared to return.

Meanwhile, Patrick had searched all the surrounding areas of the suburbs but couldn’t find Jane’s car.

At that moment, his assistant called.

“It seems like Madam’s car is already in motion, heading towards the company.” Patrick was pleasantly surprised and quickly returned to his car.

“Are you sure? Are you telling me the truth without any lies?” The assistant sent Patrick screenshots of the information he had just captured.

Now there was hope.

So he continued driving directly to the company.

They went through countless traffic lights along the way.

On Jane’s side, she was driving while Beatrice held a knife pointed at her abdomen.

“After I give you these shares of the company, what do you plan to do?” Jane casually chatted with her, trying to probe her true intentions.

“You fulfill your promises first, then we’ll talk about what I want to do,” Beatrice replied, clearly not falling for the trap and resistant to Jane’s questions.

Knowing that she couldn’t get much out of her, Jane didn’t give up and tried to get closer to Beatrice.

“In fact, if you want to start an entertainment company, I can help you. Besides, being independent is much better than relying on your family. Have you seen any news in the newspapers or from reporters that say I have any connection with your family?” Jane began to realign her thoughts.

“If that’s the case, it’s better to take matters into your own hands,” Jane added.

Beatrice didn’t directly respond to her words.
