Chapter 12
As there was hope rising in my heart, Rosy said, "I asked her to come here."
Her voice sounded unhurried. And others couldn't tell what her purpose was.
But I stole a glance at Jeremy. And there seemed to be a layer of sweat on his forehead.
The four of us entered the room. Rosy took me to sit on a two-seat sofa. While Jeremy and Gina sat on the opposite side. And Olena began to pour tea for us.
Rosy took my hand and went straight to the point, "Diane has told me everything about the wedding."
At this time, Jeremy broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. He stood up, pointed at Diane, and scolded, "You are an ungrateful b*tch! Were you bribed by Charlotte?"
As he spoke, he picked up the glass on the table and smashed it directly on Diane!
Diane, who couldn't dodge him in time, was smashed with a cup of hot tea. And the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces!
"It's enough!" Rosy shouted loudly and said to
Diane, "Diane, go in and get changed. If I don't call you, you don't have to go out."
Although Rosy had always been kind-hearted, she was the master of the Archer Family. So her words sounded authoritative.
As soon as she said that, Jeremy immediately sat back with his hands clenched tightly, who intended to explain something further.
Rosy asked me, "Charlotte, I heard from Diane that you were with Patrick that wedding night, right?"
I nodded my head in a daze, wondering why Rosy would ask all these questions.
After that, Rosy said, "According to Diane, after that day, although the matter had been cleared up, Caroline hasn't moved to live with Patrick for the time being."
After hearing this, Gina immediately stood up and explained, "That's because Mr. Cowell said that he had owed Caroline and he would like to find a good land to build the best house as Caroline wishes so that she can live there."
I felt a stinging pain in my heart for some reason.
Patrick indeed cared about Caroline very much.
How could his feelings for Caroline be easily provoked by a few words of mine? Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
However, as I thought that Rosy had come today to speak up for me, Rosy said, "Well, it's your fault first. Charlotte has spent the night with Patrick. In that case, Charlotte should marry Patrick."
When I heard this, it took me five seconds to figure out what it meant.
Gina and Jeremy were the same. When I came to my senses, Gina stood up and said in a sharp voice, "No! This is absolutely impossible! How can I let her marry Patrick!"
I was also surprised, "Grandma... This..."
At this time, I felt extremely complicated. In fact, I had no hope for Patrick.
"It's impossible for the Cowell Family to agree with this." Jeremy now calmed down and used the Cowell Family as an excuse.
His words also made me sober.
In City Y, the Cowell Family was the grandest family as well as the most powerful one. Although the Archer Family was grand as well, in terms of the scale of its business, it was far less than that of the Cowell Family.
Therefore, logically speaking, when it came to marriage, as long as the Cowell Family didn't agree, Rosy's words wouldn't matter at all.
Rosy glanced at Gina and motioned for her to sit down.
After Gina sat down, she continued, "The way you see it, why the Cowell Family is willing to have an arranged marriage with our Archer Family?"
This question hit the point. According to the size of the Cowell Family as well as the status of the Towering High Group where Patrick belonged in City Y, the Archer Family surely couldn't beat other families and have an arranged marriage with the Cowell Family.
How did it happen?
Rosy told us the whole story. Back then, Rosy and Patrick's grandfather were childhood sweethearts in their youth. But at that time, Rosy was a lady of a noble family and Patrick's grandfather was just a poor boy.
They weren't allowed to unite with each other based on the social protocols.
Many years later, the two of them met each other in their 50s and agreed on this marriage.
When Rosy said that, her eyes were full of warmth. It could be seen that Patrick's grandfather and she must have sincere and profound feelings for each other.
