Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

On Patrick’s side, he didn’t give up on calling Jane, but no one answered.

The clues had been found, and Patrick had already memorized Jane’s license plate number. He immediately dispatched people to investigate.

The hospital director, anxious, asked, “Is there anything I can do to help? I’m willing to assist.”

Patrick clapped his hands and told him, “No need for further assistance. Just keep an eye out for me. If that woman returns, notify me immediately.”

Considering Beatrice’s personality, she wouldn’t return so quickly, especially since she had left with Jane.

Meanwhile, Patrick left the hospital in his car, making phone calls along the way to inquire about any information.

The investigation into Jane’s license plate number had yielded results, and the assistant quickly reported the news.

“We’ve found her, but the location is quite remote. It might be difficult to find.” The assistant’s computer displayed information showing that Jane had lost contact after entering a suburban area.

Furthermore, Jane’s phone had no signal and couldn’t be reached.

It was as if she had suddenly disappeared.

Patrick angrily gripped the steering wheel. “Keep searching for me. No matter what information you find, notify me immediately.”

Patrick couldn’t afford to linger. He arrived at the location indicated by Jane’s last known position. The place was desolate, with no signs of human habitation in sight.

There were no traces of someone staying there, and there were no signs of any vehicles being present.

Patrick dialed Jane’s phone again, but as usual, there was no answer on the other end.

This left him deep in thought, without any sense of direction. He had initially thought that everything was almost resolved and he could bring Jane home, but he hadn’t anticipated Beatrice’s unexpected move.

Patrick couldn’t shake the feeling that Beatrice was involved in Jane’s disappearance. He called Beatrice again, hoping for new leads.

Unfortunately, Beatrice’s phone was already turned off.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Patrick stopped the car and began a thorough search.

Meanwhile, Jane regained consciousness, finding herself tied to a chair in an empty room with no one around.

She vividly remembered being with Beatrice, and they had already found her birth parents.

How could she have been kidnapped?

She couldn’t make sense of it.

After scanning the surroundings without spotting Beatrice’s figure, Jane realized she was securely bound and couldn’t break free.

Jane shouted loudly, “Is anyone there? Is anyone here?”

No one responded to her cries. Just as Jane felt helpless, a person walked in from outside.

She squinted her eyes to see clearly and was astonished to find that the person was Beatrice.

This further confused Jane, and she quickly asked, “Did you tie me up? Is that true?”

Beatrice snickered and patiently replied to Jane, “Indeed, I did it. There’s no birth family, and I spent a long time acquiring that poison. I simply don’t want you to live in this world, let alone see you so happy and content.”

Jane became more perplexed. What connection did her happiness have with Beatrice? Moreover, hadn’t everything between them already come to an end?

“There’s no financial entanglement between us, and I haven’t done anything to harm you. Why do you hold such resentment towards me and want to destroy me?” Jane grew increasingly puzzled, failing to understand Beatrice’s motives.

Beatrice approached Jane, her demeanor far from that of an upper-class lady, resembling more of a shrew.

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have faced so many setbacks. You ruined all my plans. I just want you to taste the feeling of losing everything.”

Upon hearing these words, Jane finally understood that the person who posed the greatest threat to the entire family was not anyone else but Beatrice.

“So, you’re saying that everything was done by you, and it’s you who turned our family into what it is now?” In fact, Jane had already figured out most of it, but she didn’t want to admit it.

Beatrice silently nodded, acknowledging everything that had happened.

“I warned you a long time ago not to get too close to our family. There are many things you shouldn’t be involved in, and why did you merge the two companies?” Beatrice suddenly brought up this matter, which confused Jane. After all, Beatrice had never managed a company and wouldn’t know the ins and outs of its operations. Why would she be so concerned about it?

“Are you saying that all the crises the company faced before were caused by you? Is it you who dragged the company into turmoil?” Jane asked again, trying to confirm her suspicions. Her tone became calmer, trying not to provoke Beatrice.

“You’re clever, but your cleverness hasn’t been applied where it should be. Now that I have you tied up here, I’m afraid no one can come to save you,” Beatrice replied, sitting in a chair opposite Jane, looking at her with great interest and couldn’t help but laugh at her appearance.

“I know that everything you’ve done was to secure your position in this family in the future. However, Mike has never acknowledged it. What you wanted to do was to prove yourself, right?”

Jane felt it would be better to probe Beatrice instead of confronting her head-on, so as not to reveal her own intentions.

“You’re right. I indeed wanted to prove myself, but I don’t need to anymore. I went to great lengths to bring Harrison back, but unfortunately, he didn’t listen to me at all. He insisted on making a mess of the company, and he even brought Melissa, making the whole company chaotic!”

Jane knew she had reached a dead end, and no one would come to save her. So she spoke without much concern.

“All you did was to prove yourself. Now, I can promise you that if you let me go and give me a way out, I can help you get what you want, everything, even a share of the company’s stocks,” Jane said.

Now the most important thing was to escape from here as soon as possible. As for the rest, it could be temporarily put aside. The key was to get out of this predicament as early as possible.
