Of course, Patrick also understood that their statuses were different now. She was a princess and the pearl o f the Lynch family, whereas he was just the fallen Young Master of the Jackson family.
"Patrick, let's go." Linda tugged at Patrick apprehensively.
Since Rebecca was dead, she did not dare to provoke Freya and Rodney anymore.
"What? Why are you running when you see me?” Rodney's lips curled into a sneer. "Weren't you quite happy throwing in your lot with Rebecca? Oh, by the way, that friend of yours was also found to be a fraudster, and her entire family had gone to jail. It was a huge fraud involving hundreds of billions. I remember you had a really good relationship with her back then. You weren't dragged into it, were you? Did the police investigate you?"
"No, I didn't...” Linda panicked, and her face turned white as snow. "I’m not familiar with Rebecca at all."
"Not familiar?” Rodney smiled wickedly. "That can't b e. Back then, Rebecca even introduced you to the former prime minister’s grandson and saved Patrick out of jail. But you're saying that you're not familiar with her? Do you think I’m stupid? I think you must be

Then, he took out his phone.
Linda looked at Patrick pleadingly. "Patrick, I really didn't know. You have to help me. I was cheated by Rebecca. I only did it because I wanted to save you. Freya is just there, so please help me beg for mercy. I don’t want to go to jail. I'm innocent."
Patrick could not refute it. He had to admit that he only got out of jail because of Linda's help.
He looked up at Freya with a complicated gaze and walked towards her.
However, just as he took a step, Rodney stopped him.
"What are you doing? Are you planning to harass my wife?" Rodney warned coldly, "Get lost."
Patrick’s face reddened in embarrassment, but he could not stand Linda's bitter pleading. Hence, he forced his way through. "Freya..."
