Chapter 49
Caroline quickly caught up with me, grabbed my wrist, and said with a grim smile, "Charlotte Archer, you assume that you can be Mrs. Cowell with ease?"
I turned to look at her, "Hmm?"
I had seen all kinds of evil persons in prison. And I just found her ridiculous while seeing her like this.
"Don't assume that Patrick likes you and intends to be with you in the future since he respects you. Let me tell you, you should stop daydreaming about it!"
Caroline deliberately lowered her voice.
I looked at her and blinked as I said, "Caroline Archer, I hope you can understand that it's not me who wants to be Mrs. Cowell now. It's Patrick who insists that I should be his wife. If you can let him divorce me, I will be grateful to you."
"Stop pretending! I'll get you to lose the title of Mrs. Cowell soon!"
My indifferent attitude provoked Caroline instead!
That night, after the dinner was over, Patrick
asked a driver over because everyone had been drunk to a different degree.
Angie seemed to have been overwhelmingly drunk. Although Seth was trying hard to keep a distance from her, she insisted on leaning on Seth.
To avoid causing trouble to Seth, I asked him to send Angie back, saying that I could take a taxi home by myself.
When I stood at the entrance of the restaurant and was ready to get on a taxi, I heard Patrick behind me saying, "Charlotte Archer, I'm here. How dare you take another man's car?"
I lowered my head, looked at the taxi driver, and said, "Mr. Cowell, this is a female driver."
"Even so, you can't get in either!"
As Patrick spoke, he came over and pulled me into his arms!
I gave Caroline a sidelong glance and found that her face looked gloomy. It seemed that she was eager to strangle me to death.
But that night, I still got into Patrick's car. And so did Caroline.
After Patrick sent me home and wanted to get off the car, he was stopped by Caroline.
In the end, I went back to the villa alone.
I had a night of sleep with ease.
The next day, before I could enter the company, Angie stopped me and asked me, "Charlotte Archer, are you happy to play with two men?"
I knew that she was talking about what had happened yesterday.
Because of Patrick's visit to the company before, the relationship between him and me was no longer a secret. So I didn't explain too much yesterday.
"Angie, this is my business." I was very polite to Angie.
Because I admired her ability. And at the same time, I understood why she was angry.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
If I was in her shoes, I surely would be angry as well.
Angie blocked me at the entrance of the office building and questioned me, "Is it? If it is your business, how come you fool Seth to such an extent? You have an unhappy marriage. In that case, why should you implicate him?"
Her question overwhelmed me. And I didn't know what to say for a while.
Yes. It was indeed because of me that Seth got involved.
"Sorry, Angie. I don't want to see this kind of situation happen either. And I will handle everything well."
Although I said so verbally, I didn't know how to deal with it at all. Maybe the best way was that I should leave Glorious Seth Design and City Y.
However, the trouble came next prevented me from thinking about it any further.
That afternoon, a policeman arrived at the company, saying that he was here to investigate something about the project of the studio.
Angie and I as well as the head of the Engineering Department were all questioned by the police.
In the middle of the interrogation, I found out that Caroline had hired someone professional to check on the formaldehyde in the studio this morning. And the result turned out that even if the construction of the studio had just been finished, the quantity of the formaldehyde in the studio was absolutely abnormal.
Later, they found that there was a large amount of formaldehyde which was of high concentration in the glue pasting the wallpapers.
Caroline suspected that someone had deliberately done so. So she called the police.
