Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“Do you really need the money? Can’t we delay this matter?” Sarah began to hesitate, which displeased Beatrice.

“Are you completely useless in your own company? Do you only find satisfaction in seeing me in such a difficult situation?” Beatrice was straightforward, with one hand already reaching into the bag where she had previously placed the knife. Jane had already noticed her actions.

Quickly picking up on Sarah’s words, Jane said, “Just do as I say. Print the agreement clearly, affix the company seal, and inform the reporters. In about an hour, have the journalists come to our company to complete the formalities.”

Jane had planned everything thoroughly, leaving no room for Beatrice to argue.

Sarah had nothing to say and could only follow their instructions.

She walked out, and Jane started serving Beatrice tea and water, bustling around.

“I’ve already made everything clear and told you. If there’s any deception on your part, don’t blame me for taking action against you.”

Even at this stage, Beatrice was still not at ease. She wouldn’t relax until she saw the final company seal.

Jane smiled at her and said, “By now, you should be able to trust me. After all, I haven’t deceived you, and everything we’ve done is based on what you wanted to achieve. If you still don’t trust me, then let’s not change the agreement. You can do whatever you want and leave.”

She had reached her own territory, and Jane no longer needed to compromise.

Beatrice didn’t expect her to openly defy her. She immediately pulled out a knife and held it to Jane’s neck. To her surprise, Jane quickly turned the tables and pinned Beatrice to the table.

“Didn’t Patrick tell you that I am skilled in martial arts?”

She had learned these skills to protect herself, and now they finally came in handy.

Both of Beatrice’s hands were immobilized and couldn’t move.

Sarah stood anxiously at the company’s entrance, monitoring the conference room through the security cameras. The situation was still under control, but they had to wait for Patrick to decide.

After waiting for a while, Patrick finally arrived.

“How is the situation now? Is it going well? Can we meet our expectations?” Patrick immediately handed the car keys to the security guard and followed Sarah inside.

“Don’t worry, everything is under control for now. Beatrice has been restrained, and it seems she can’t move. We’ll plan our next steps once you arrive.”

Upon hearing this, Patrick felt somewhat relieved. He knew about Jane’s martial arts skills.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The two quickly reached the upper floor and, upon opening the door, saw that Jane had already tied up Beatrice.

Jane was slightly surprised when she saw Patrick. “How did you come here? Who informed you?”

Jane had no idea why Patrick had arrived, and no one had ever known her whereabouts.

All this time, she believed that Patrick wouldn’t find out.

But she didn’t expect that he had been silently keeping an eye on her.

Patrick walked over to her and gave her a big hug. The two held each other tightly, as if they had found their rightful place in each other’s arms.

“I won’t allow you to leave my sight again. I won’t let you escape so easily,” Patrick said as he hugged Jane tightly, his words filled with determination.

Jane’s eyes grew moist upon hearing such words of affection. It seemed that in moments of crisis, hearing them could bring an even greater sense of gratitude.

Meanwhile, Beatrice crouched nearby, dissatisfied with their display. Unfortunately, her mouth had been sealed shut by Jane.

“I already told you, it’s impossible for you to fight against me or take away what belongs to me,” Jane declared, reaching the point of no return.

Patrick stepped forward and removed the tape from Beatrice’s mouth.

She began to berate Patrick, “How could you treat me like this? I may be your stepmother, but do you know how much suffering I’ve endured since your birth? And now you let your wife kidnap me.”

Beatrice attempted to appeal to Patrick’s sense of gratitude, but her words held no sway. Whatever influence she once had was now ineffective.

“You are not my mother, and to this day, I still don’t know who my real mother is. So, your words won’t move me. Let me tell you, it was you who planned to kidnap Jane. I have conclusive evidence, and the reason we didn’t bring the police directly today was to save you some face,” Patrick stated firmly, sitting down and glaring at Beatrice in the corner, his anger barely contained.

“Now that things have reached this point, I have nothing more to say. If you want to fight or punish me, or even send me to prison, it’s up to you!” Beatrice realized there was no way to salvage the situation and admitted defeat rather than struggling in vain.

“If you had thought things through earlier, perhaps we wouldn’t have faced so many complications and twists,” Jane sighed, reflecting on the long journey they had gone through. Beatrice could have peacefully spent the rest of her life, but it had ended up like this due to their conflicting interests.

Their own self-interests were to blame.

Patrick made a phone call and directly informed the police to come.

Sarah stood next to Jane, her body drenched in cold sweat. “Luckily, you’re safe. I really wouldn’t know what to do if something happened to you.”

Jane nodded in response. “Our secret language between the two of us, I guess only we can understand it.”

In fact, when Jane spoke those words, she had already guessed, but she dared not confirm it, so she asked again.

Suddenly, Beatrice squatted down on the ground, her hands dropping vertically as she repeatedly smashed them against the wall. “It’s all my fault, all my mistakes. I brought this upon myself.”

Those few words repeated endlessly from her mouth, never changing.

After a while, the police entered the room, accompanied by many officers. When they saw Patrick, they immediately greeted him.

“I didn’t expect you to solve the case so quickly. We didn’t even need to help,” one of the officers remarked. In reality, Patrick had reported the incident early on, but he had kept the police discreetly observing instead of intervening. It was only when there was no other choice that he asked them to step in and resolve the situation directly.

Upon seeing the police, Beatrice finally confessed to everything.

“Patrick, I have never betrayed anyone, but you are the only person I have wronged. There’s one more secret I want to tell you,” Beatrice walked up to Patrick and spoke to him.
