"But we have no evidence," Jane pursed her lips, a hint of seriousness in her delicate eyebrows. "It's been so many years, even if there were any clues left behind back then, they've probably been destroyed by now."
Patrick's knuckles tightened as he spoke coldly and firmly. "No matter how much time has passed, if it was him who did it, there will definitely be traces left behind!"
"Yes, but our priority right now is to expose Winston for imprisoning your grandfather and attempting to seize power," Jane's eyes flashed with determination.
She wouldn't let that despicable man Winston succeed!
Patrick turned his head and looked deeply at Jane before embracing her tightly. His expression was full of deep affection as he spoke. "Jane, thank you! For staying by my side during this difficult time."
As she rested in Patrick's embrace, Jane reached out and lightly touched his forehead. "Silly boy, I'm your fiancée after all. Of course I'll share the good times and the bad with you."
Patrick held onto the woman in his arms tightly as he made a lifelong promise in a low voice. "Jane, I will never let you down in this lifetime."
A warm current surged through Jane's heart as she met Patrick's deep gaze with hers. "You better keep your promise."
"Of course!" Patrick said before leaning down to kiss her deeply.

Morton returned to Pansy Group only to be stopped by Winston's assistant who informed him that Mr Sidney wanted to see him.
"I know," Morton nodded before taking the elevator up to the 18th floor where the CEO office was located.
The office used to belong solely to Patrick but had since been taken over by Winston who seemed oblivious about reigning himself in.
Morton knocked on the door before entering cautiously asking: "Vice President Lin? Did you need me?"
Winston sat on what used to be Patrick's chair when Morton walked into his office; looking up at Morton once he entered: "Have you thought about what we discussed earlier?"
Thinking back on what Patrick had just told him moments ago; Morton pretended hesitancy: "I haven't really decided yet..."
"What else do you need?" Winston stood up abruptly from his seat walking towards Morton slowly while saying: "He who knows when enough is enough will always have enough."
Seeing that Morton still appeared uncertain; Winston continued speaking: "You're not unaware of our current situation are you? It has been days since we last heard from Patrick after his plane crash - things aren't looking good."
My stepfather is seriously ill in the hospital, and he entrusted me to manage Pansy Group well for Patrick. The current situation is that no one can serve as the president of Pansy Group except for me."
As he spoke, Winston handed a check to Morton. "As long as you promise to vote for me at the press conference, this money will be yours. In addition, I will promote you to vice president."
"Really?" Morton seemed convinced and took the check.
"Of course." Winston smiled confidently.
Two days later was the day of Winston's press conference.
It was a sunny day with blue skies and sunshine. The press conference was scheduled for 2 pm.
