"I'll tell her."
I found what he had said ridiculous.
And the most ridiculous thing was that I had been trying my luck with Patrick, thinking that he would get angry because of me.
I thought he would care about me a little bit.
I looked at him and said very seriously, "Mr. Cowell, the identity of Mrs. Cowell makes me lose everything. I have nothing to lose. So, can you please let me go? I beg you."
Standing a meter away from me, Patrick looked at me as he knitted his eyebrows deeply.
He didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he said, "I'm tired. Let's talk about these things later."
After that, he did not leave. Instead, he took out his computer from the suitcase and began to work in the living room.
And I hid in the master bedroom and looked out of the window.
Thinking back, I had been Mrs. Cowell for so long. But it seemed that I hadn't enjoyed a
happy day ever.
That night, I received a phone call from Seth.
He asked me to go back to Glorious Seth Design. But I refused him.
Because I knew that it was not because Seth wasn't capable that things had come to this. Instead, when I was there, he would become more scrupulous.
But he told me a matter on the phone, which was that Ronald's body was not sent to the funeral house that afternoon. Instead, it was sent to the police station. According to Ronald's daughter's request, his body was examined.
And the autopsy showed that there were some doubtful points about Ronald's cause of death. It was very likely that he hadn't died naturally.
However, there was no more evidence. So the police probably wouldn't continue to investigate this matter.
This result made me feel as if my heart had been tangled together!
I went to the living room and looked at Patrick who was working. His side profile was so perfect.
It was a pity that he was unprincipled in terms of his feelings.
That night, I went to sleep in the guest bedroom. But Patrick didn't carry me to the master bedroom as he had done before.
The next morning, when I woke up, I was still lying in the guest bedroom.
I went to find Caroline in her new studio.
As soon as I went inside the studio, I saw Caroline's copy of Telma's works were hanging on the wall and that a group of journalists were interviewing her.
I heard a reporter praising her as a genius and beautiful designer.
I found it ridiculous.
About half an hour later, the interview was over.
Caroline had seen me a long time ago. The first thing she did was to invite me to her office.
Admittedly, as the saying goes, under the protection of people of power and influence, one can make a profit.
After Caroline's previous studio project got into trouble, it was directly abandoned. Now her new studio was still located in the center of City Y where every inch of land worthed a lot.
More importantly, this place was only a few hundred meters away from Patrick's company.
As long as she sat in her office, she could see the office building of the Towering High Group not far away.
When I saw through the French windows and looked at the Towering High Group not far away, Caroline asked her assistant to pour me a cup of coffee. Then she followed my gaze and smiled, "Patrick said that he was afraid that he couldn't see me when he missed me. So he chose this place for me."
"Did he? But he still lives at my place every night."
I picked up the coffee in front of me and took a sip.
Caroline's studio was indeed different. Its construction was not in progress yet. Even so, it was located in such a good location where rent was high. Moreover, even the coffee here was of the best quality.
It seemed that Patrick did dote on her very much.
On the contrary, I was just trying to overwhelm her verbally for a moment.
