Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82: An Appointment with Osborn

As soon as Patrick spoke, a hush fell over the police station. Nearly everyone in Guavo knew Patrick, the head of the Pansy family, the most powerful family in Guavo, and the president of Pansy Group, a well-respected figure in the community.

Morton glanced in the direction of the confession room and responded, "Both she and Melissa are giving their statements."

Patrick had always been known for his composure, making this uncharacteristic display of worry even more noticeable.

Jane clearly held a significant place in his life.

In response to this news, Patrick said frostily, "Let's go and take a look."

Florence, standing behind Patrick, was bewildered. Jane and Melissa giving statements-did that mean Jane was unharmed? What had happened to Monica? Why hadn't she seized the opportunity to harm Jane? The chief of the police station approached Patrick respectfully and said, "Mr. Pansy, this way, please."

Patrick proceeded to the door of the confession room with measured steps, finding Jane sitting there composedly. A policewoman sat across from her, taking her statement.

"Jane." Patrick entered the room, his eyes filled with concern as he asked, "Are you all right?"

Ignoring Patrick, Jane shifted her gaze to Florence, who stood behind him. The confirmation of Patrick's presence with Florence last night was apparent to her, and it pained her deeply.

Jane chose not to respond to Patrick and, instead, asked sarcastically, "What? Did you expect me to be in trouble?"

Patrick was taken aback, sensing the anger emanating from her. Did she blame him for not arriving at Lover Lake on time? He realized that he might have prevented this incident had he been there to protect her.

He wouldn't have allowed Jane to go to such a remote place, let alone be subjected to harm.

"That's not what I meant," Patrick explained patiently, seeking to convey his sincere intentions.

Jane, however, kept her gaze averted, giving no acknowledgment of his words.

Patrick shifted his attention to the policewoman who had just finished recording Jane's statement. He inquired icily, "What are you doing right now?"
