Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 80: Betrayal 

"But Jayson..." Lily didn't have the heart to hurt Patricia. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She believed that Patricia deserved to be treated better than that.

"Patricia ruined her own reputation.We merely took advantage of the situation by discussing it in front of the senior executives of the Reynolds Group.There's no harm in talking about what she had done,"

Jayson said confidently as he pushed the blame on Patricia.

Stunned, Patricia covered her mouth with her hands.

She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

‘Has Lily betrayed me? If I remember correctly, yesterday Lily had an appointment with the senior executives of Reynolds Group to talk about the contract, but...’ Understanding dawned on Patricia when she realized why Lily hadn't said a word or looked at her yesterday when she entered the office.

Unexpectedly, Lily had deceived her.

"Miss Sampson..." Patricia regained her senses when she heard the greetings of those passing her by.

Lily and Jayson, who were close to the door, looked up at her in surprise then.

Embarrassed, Lily turned her face away from Patricia.

"Did you hear our conversation, Miss Sampson?" she all but whispered.

Without answering her question, Patricia looked at Lily with a cold smile and uttered, "Lily, I treated you so well.How could you do that to me?"

Unable to control her anger, Patricia raised her hand to slap Lily.

"Slap!"

Before Lily and Jayson could react, Patricia had already slapped Lily hard across the cheek.

Glancing coldly at Jayson, she finally focused on Lily and remarked harshly, "I slapped you because of your unfaithfulness to me.From now on, we owe each other nothing.It was my misfortune to have called you a friend."

After she finished speaking, Patricia turned around, clenched her fists, and quickly strode away.

Today she had finally learned the truth.

The person she had always trusted had betrayed her! "Shame on you, Patricia!"

Standing in the middle of the street, Patricia growled at the sky with a sneer on her face.

Bitterness and anguish were written all over her face.

‘Do I not deserve to at least have a friend?’ Lily and Jayson, who were close to the door, looked up at her in surprise then.

Embarrassed, Lily turned her face away from Patricia.

"Did you hear our conversation, Miss Sampson?" she all but whispered.

Without answering her question, Patricia looked at Lily with a cold smile and uttered, "Lily, I treated you so well.How could you do that to me?"

Unable to control her anger, Patricia raised her hand to slap Lily.

"Slap!"

Before Lily and Jayson could react, Patricia had already slapped Lily hard across the cheek.

Glancing coldly at Jayson, she finally focused on Lily and remarked harshly, "I slapped you because of your unfaithfulness to me.From now on, we owe each other nothing.It was my misfortune to have called you a friend."

After she finished speaking, Patricia turned around, clenched her fists, and quickly strode away.

Today she had finally learned the truth.

The person she had always trusted had betrayed her! "Shame on you, Patricia!"

Standing in the middle of the street, Patricia growled at the sky with a sneer on her face.

Bitterness and anguish were written all over her face.

‘Do I not deserve to at least have a friend?’ She didn't have a single friend since childhood.

Zac, who once regarded her as his friend, had abandoned her.

He then later divorced her, and now Lily had betrayed her.

"Why am I so unlucky? Am I destined to be alone?’ Raising her head to the sky, she donned a bitter smile on her face.

Soon, the rain started pouring heavily, wetting her face that was still looking up at the sky.

Unfortunately, the cold rain couldn't erase the sadness in her heart.

Walking alone on the street, Patricia wanted her emotional turmoil to disappear.

Exhausted, she wanted to sleep and forget her worries.

On the other side of the road, Zac spotted Patricia walking in the rain as if she had lost her mind.

He angrily hit the steering wheel and exhaled heavily.

‘What is wrong with her? Why isn't she finding a place to shelter from the rain?’ In a fit of rage, Zac struck the steering wheel again.

‘Didn't she make up her mind last night? So, why is she like this today?’ It was raining heavily, so Zac was worried about Patricia's well-being.

Pursing his lips tightly, he stared at her.

He wanted nothing more than to take her out of the rain and put her in his car."Let's go, Zac.The green light is on,"

Lyndsy uttered in a soft voice, interrupting his thoughts.

Nodding, he threw a final glance at Patricia before driving off.

He was relieved to see that she was now standing by the bus stop.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Lyndsy cast a hateful glance at Patricia.

She thought Patricia was quite shrewd.

Here she was deliberately showing up in front of Zac and looking pitiful so that he could sympathize with her.

‘What a shameless bitch!’

At the same time, Patricia was aimlessly standing at the bus stop.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, she couldn't help smiling bitterly.

Reaching out her hand, she tried to catch the falling raindrops.

Unfortunately, a car driving by splashed her, staining her face with the dirty water.

Patricia simply shook her hair and couldn't help but laugh at her situation.

Since the time she was pushed into the water, she encountered a series of bad luck.

Because from then on, Lyndsy and Yolanda had bullied her every day.

Then, when she married Zac, she thought her life would get a little easier.

But Zac and Tina had completely ignored her.

It appeared that she had been trapped in unhappy environments all her life.

So, it didn't surprise her anymore when something terrible happened to her.

Raising her head slightly to look at the sky, she lifted her hand to catch the raindrops.

She was now in a sour mood.

"Patricia, are you crazy?"

All of a sudden, she heard a deep, domineering voice.

Immediately turning her gaze to the Porsche parked at the side of the road, she saw Zac glaring at her.

He was so furious that blue veins popped out on his forehead.

‘Zac? Why is he here?’

"Patricia, get in the car now!" Zac roared.

He wanted to shake her up.

It took him half an hour to drop Lyndsy home and then come back here. During that time, Patricia remained rooted to that spot, like a fool enjoying the rain.

‘Why can't she leave? Why doesn't she change into a fresh set of clothes?’

Seeing how dirty Patricia looked, Zac flew into a fury.Getting out of the car without hesitation, he quickly moved to her side and grabbed her wrist.

"You are coming home with me!" he shouted.

After that, he dragged her to the car, not allowing her to resist.

"Zac, I don't want to go home."

Patricia tried to break free of Zac's grip and pursed her lips angrily.

Thinking of her home reminded her of the kiss Zac had shared with Lyndsy outside her apartment.

And she didn't want to go to the Oakleaf Villa because Zac must have slept with Lyndsy there last night.

She couldn't help but recall the intimate behavior shared between Zac and Lyndsy.

Biting her lower lip, she was about to say something more when Zac kissed her.

Then he warned ferociously, "Shut up!"

Patricia thumped on Zac's chest in rage and shouted, "You were kissing Lyndsy yesterday.Don't kiss me with that same mouth!"

A look of disgust crossed her face as she said this. Zac kissed her after kissing Lyndsy, so, of course, she was disgusted.

Seeing the expression on her face, Zac flew into a rage and breathed deeply.

As he was about to speak, a sudden revelation hit him, and left him stunned.

"What is it that she said just now?’’ Realizing what her words meant, Zac's eyes widened in surprise.

Patricia just ignored Zac's expression.

Twisting her arm, she tried to break free of his firm grip.

Just as she was concentrating on escaping his clutches, Zac suddenly asked with a smile, "Are you jealous?"

‘Did she see me kissing Lyndsy last night? She wouldn't have said something like that if she had not seenus. Thinking of this brightened Zac's mood.

Clearly, Patricia still had feelings for him.His efforts had not been in vain.

"Mr.Reynolds, I think you are misunderstanding something."

Looking coldly into Zac's eyes, Patricia's semblance returned to one of indifference.

She gave off the impression that she didn't like Zac at all.
