Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Chapter 1028 Patrick’s Intentions



Jane was in a meeting with a few other people, strategizing and contemplating, when she unexpectedly received a call from Patrick’s secretary.

She looked at the familiar number on the screen and memories flooded back. After hesitating for a moment, she walked outside.

“Hello, what’s the matter?”

Jane asked, cutting straight to the point. She waited for the voice on the other end, unsure of what she should say or ask at this moment.

What she knew was that it was likely Patrick’s secretary calling her, conveying Patrick’s intentions.

Although she didn’t know what he wanted to do, she didn’t want to dwell on these matters anymore.

If enduring passively could lead her to find a way out, she would rather obtain an answer first and make choices after enduring passively.

“Patrick wants to invite you to dinner at the Green Hotel at 8 p. m. The room is booked under the Caesar suite.”

Upon hearing these words, anger welled up inside Jane, but she didn’t know where it came from.

She felt that if there was something, Patrick could call her directly, but now he had the secretary call her.

It made her feel like it was all just a formal business matter.

If they had been close and their relationship had been the same as before, no one would think twice about the secretary making the call at this time.

But allowing the secretary to make the call in this situation, how could it not give rise to speculation?

“What does this mean? Why doesn’t Patrick call me directly?”

A voice came through the phone in response to Jane’s questioning.

“Patrick is in a bad mood right now. I don’t know the exact reason, and I dare not ask. I can only convey Patrick’s intentions. After all, I’m just a secretary.”

“But I guess Patrick probably has something to discuss with you; otherwise, in this situation, he wouldn’t have set up a dinner with you!”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The secretary’s words made Jane hesitate once again. She didn’t know what Patrick was doing or thinking right now.

If she had been resentful towards Patrick before, this hesitation now caused a crack in her heart. She really wanted to see how Patrick was thinking.

She also wanted to ask Patrick why he appeared at this time.

And why he had so much faith in Harrison, not believing the truth of the matter. These were all questions in her mind.

She knew that she had to go herself to find the answers. So, after much hesitation, she agreed.

“Alright, I understand this matter. Is there anything else?”

After receiving a positive response from the other end of the phone, Jane hung up.

Her emotions were now mixed, and she truly didn’t know what to say this evening.

But she had made up her mind to go, and that decision hadn’t changed since she had just responded.

Returning to the meeting room, she no longer had the mood to continue the meeting. After hastily assigning tasks to everyone, she left the meeting room directly.

In a state of anxious anticipation, she spent the afternoon.

As the time for her scheduled meeting with Patrick approached, Jane’s heart was filled with hesitation once again.

“Let’s go.” Firming her resolve once more, Jane got into her car and headed to the designated location.

When she pushed open the door to the Caesar suite in the restaurant, she saw Patrick sitting alone at the table, with some dishes already prepared.

Patrick was sitting there, bowing his head in sadness. The dejected expression on his face revealed the obvious answer.

When Patrick saw Jane, he became extremely excited.

After Jane sat down, she still looked at Patrick with an excited expression.

What she didn’t expect was that Patrick immediately launched into a barrage of questions.

“I can’t believe it, and I’m so sad. You actually targeted my company! It’s my company!”

Jane heard this and directly countered, “What’s wrong with your company? It was in a mess because of your uncle. Otherwise, why would I want to take over?”

“Don’t bring up my uncle’s matters. I can trust him, and it’s you who took advantage of the problems in my company.”

Patrick had already heard the embellished version from Harrison, explaining the whole story.

Patrick now had only one thought in his mind: to seek an answer.

He wanted to know the reason behind Jane’s heartlessness, not only refusing to help but also trying to acquire the company.

If it were someone else making this choice, perhaps Patrick could understand, but he couldn’t accept it when it came to Jane.

“Do you only trust your uncle? If that’s the case, then I have nothing more to say.”

Jane became angry, feeling that she didn’t need to explain this matter. After all, the eyes of the public were sharp.

Instead, it was Patrick who didn’t open his eyes, blindly trusting others. No matter how she explained, it would be useless.

Tears welled up in Patrick’s eyes; he couldn’t believe they had reached this point.

“Is this your attitude? It seems that you’ve been coveting my company for a long time. Even if this incident hadn’t happened, you would have made a move.”

“No wonder my uncle said you had ill intentions, wanting to take over my company and take the assets for yourself. It seems he was right.”

Jane couldn’t bear Patrick’s excessive trust in Harrison, who was actually engaged in tax evasion.

Patrick turned a blind eye to the evidence and instead questioned her, which made Jane lose her composure and become furious.

“Yes, I do want to target your company. I feel uncomfortable seeing your company in someone else’s control. I must take it back.”

“So what? Don’t you have your own scheming? You publicly announced this in front of so many media, and then secretly came to the signing location. Wasn’t it all to make me lose face?”

“You unconditionally trust your uncle; then you can continue to trust him. No matter what, I have a clear conscience.”

Jane stood up as she said these words, no longer intending to have dinner there.

“There’s no point in continuing this conversation. Just keep trusting your uncle in the future.”

Jane slung her bag over her shoulder, and Patrick argued with her a few more times, but Jane suddenly felt annoyed. Without looking back, she left directly.
