Patrick clenched his fists tightly and stood where he was for a few seconds before he said, "Did I disturb you guys?"
"No," Shelton didn't explain much to Patrick. He picked up the T- shirt next to him and turned his face to ask me, "Are you done?"
I was still in a daze.
Hearing his question, I nodded quickly, "Yes."
Only then did Shelton put on his T-shirt. While tidying up his clothes, he walked towards Patrick and asked, "Patrick, what's wrong?"
Hardly had Shelton walked to the front of Patrick when Patrick directly swung his fist and hit him fiercely!
Patrick directly knocked off Shelton's glasses.
"Hiss..." Shelton staggered back a few steps before he stood stably.
"What are you doing?"
I didn't expect Patrick to hit Shelton. So I ran over to Shelton quickly.
Patrick didn't pay attention to me at all. He grabbed the collar of Shelton's T-shirt with
one hand, "Tell me, what on earth is your intention? You have a feud with our Cowell Family and feel that it's our family's fault and that we owe you. In that case, you should target me. Don't do anything to her!"
As Shelton was dragged by Patrick, he didn't move at all. He just quietly looked at Patrick with an indifferent look on his face.
After his glasses were knocked off, he who didn't wear glasses looked particularly cold and tough. Even though he was confronting Patrick, I didn't think that Patrick had overwhelmed him.
I picked up Shelton's glasses and tugged at Partick's hand, "Let go of him."
Patrick looked at me. Besides anger, there was jealousy in his eyes as well.
He let go of Shelton and looked at me. Grabbing my wrist with one hand, he said quite angrily, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you should stay away from him and that he wasn't as simple as you imagined? There are so many men in the world. Why do you insist on pestering the men of our Cowell Family? Is it because you don't have many friends? And except for the men of the Cowell Family, you can't find any other men who are rich, right? If yes, let me introduce some to you!"
"What are you talking about?" I was stunned on the spot.
I was in a daze. For a moment, I couldn't figure out what Patrick meant by saying this.
"What did I say?" Patrick looked at me coldly, "You are a vain woman. Aren't you after money? Let me tell you, Shelton is poor. Even if he is rich, I can immediately make him go bankrupt. I advise you to seduce another man. Perhaps.."
"Bang!"
Before Patrick could finish his words, I raised my hand and slapped him in the face!
I slapped him quite hard. When I finished slapping him, my hand became numb. But I didn't feel anything at all. Looking at him, I sneered, "So that's how you think of me, right? In your eyes, am I such a woman?"
"Aren't you?" Patrick looked at me. Apart from coldness and disgust, I didn't see anything else in his eyes.
His words made me come to my senses!
"Yes! You are right! I am such a woman!" I gently rested my hands on my lower abdomen. It wasn't until this moment that I realized how ridiculous I was!
It turned out that in Patrick's eyes, I was such a person.
I went straight to Shelton's side and took his arm. Then I leaned my head on his shoulder and pretended to be happy as I said, "Since you saw such a scene in person, Mr. Cowell, I won't hide it from you anymore. I am with him now. Mr. Cowell, I'm afraid that what you said before comes true now."
"What did he ever say?"
As I held Shelton's arm, he took the glasses in my hands over and cooperated with me.
I looked up and saw some blood at the corner of Shelton's mouth. I wiped the blood gently away with my hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Cowell said that he would call me 'Auntie' one day."
Patrick looked at me.
His eyes were so red that blood seemed to be about to dripping from them. He clenched his fists and squeezed out a sentence through his clenched teeth, "Come here."
"Mr. Cowell, you're getting married tomorrow." Holding Shelton's arm as usual, I didn't move.
Patrick repeated his words, "Come here."
