Substitute Her to Love You novel Chapter 302

Touching my neck, I realized that I had come down in a hurry just now and left the scarf on the table.

I, who wasn't in the mood to explain, asked him directly, "Regarding Patrick..."

"It's cold outside. Let's get into the car."

As soon as I said Patrick's name, Shelton interrupted me.

He took out the car key, pressed it, and pointed in the direction of the white car next to him, turning on the lights of the car.

"Let's talk here."

Looking at the car, I had some resistance in my heart.

After all, it was so confined inside the car. What if...

Seeing through my thoughts, Shelton smiled and said softly, "What we are going to talk about later is related to the lifeblood of Towering High. If someone irrelevant eavesdrops on our conversation and gets it covered in the newspaper as well as online..."

"I'll get in the car with you."

Before he finished his words, i got his point.

I couldn't implicate Patrick.

As I spoke, I walked towards the car.

Shelton sat in the driver's seat. And I sat in the copilot's seat.

Compared to the outside, it was indeed warmer in the car. Shelton had turned on the heating system inside the car just now while waiting for my call.

Upon getting into the car, I continued to ask, "Is the Al incident in Patrick's company related to you?"

He nodded, "Yes."

He had no intention to deny it at all.

Hearing that he admitted it, I was angry. Even so, I knew Shelton more or less after being with him for such a long time.

I knew that I couldn't coerce him.

And if I spoke up for Patrick directly, he would certainly be angry.

I let out a breath and suppressed the anger in my heart, saying, "Why? Aren't you and Patrick a family? Why did you do this to him?"

Shelton) slightly leaned to one side and looked at me quite calmly. After a moment, he slowly said, "Do you think I did this?"

"Isn't it that case?"

I heard what Shelton said over the phone. No matter how silly I was, I knew what had happened.

Shelton smiled helplessly, saying, "It seems that even if I say no, you won't believe me."

He turned around and looked ahead with a somewhat sad expression.

Seeing his look, for a moment, I, who was originally assured, actually had some doubts in my heart. I continued to ask him, "I did hear what you had said over the phone call and that you had mentioned our engagement banquet. Did you do so because of me? If yes, don't worry. I will definitely be engaged to you."

At this moment, as for whether I should be engaged to Shelton or not, I was no longer determined about it in my heart.

Even so, I had to say the other way around.

Shelton said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. It is just that I know who did it." Looking at me, he continued, "Besides me, everyone, including Patrick, also knows the ins and outs."

"What do you mean?" I blinked my eyes, feeling confused.

Shelton asked, "Do you know what Patrick had lost?"

"Based on the hearsay, isn't it the Al system?"

All the reports said so.

Curling up the corner of his mouth, Shelton revealed a helpless smile, "Al is a broad concept that can be used in many fields. Furthermore, countless companies are invested in Al research." He paused before telling me, "Patrick's company focuses on the Al research in the household field, which you can interpret as an intelligent housekeeper."

"Intelligent housekeeper?"

"Yes. For example, sitting on a sofa, you can control the washing machine at home, hang your clothes to dry, separate the food in the refrigerator based on how fresh they are, categorize and take out the trash automatically, clean up the room, and so on."

After hearing Shelton's words, I looked at him with a look of worship and surprise, "Can these all be fulfilled?"

If yes, it surely would be a piece of good news for lousy people!

If there existed an intelligent housekeeper, even I was willing to buy one.

Shelton nodded. Seeing my appearance, he smiled and said, "I only know a general idea of it. Once Patrick develops such an Al product in success, it will harm others' profit. Therefore, someone naturally doesn't want to see him develop the intelligent housekeeper in success."

"So, someone did something to his project, right?"
