Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 348

Reading the title alone, I felt like a ticking time bomb exploding right in front of me!

I hurried to the front of the computer and moved the mouse.

And I began to scroll down the news page.

There lay a photo below.

Unexpectedly, the photo showed that Patrick held Glenn in his arms on the engagement banquet of Shelton and me back then.

Moreover, the photo highlighted the fact that Patrick was similar to Glenn.

Then, there was another photo below.

Seeing this photo, I couldn't help but gasp in shock.

It was a photo of me and Patrick.

Looking a little blurry, the photo showed that Patrick held me in his arms on a wide road without no one around us amid heavy rain.

I looked at the photo carefully. Unexpectedly, it was a picture of me when I had just arrived at City Y!

"Had someone been keeping an eye on me as soon as I arrived in City Y?" "If it weren't Patrick, who could it be?"

I sat there, feeling confused in my mind. After I thought about it randomly for a while, a name emerged in my mind.

Roger Newman.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Roger once said that he wanted to mess up the Cowell Family.

In the case, he would get what he wanted by doing so!

After I read the news, my heart was beating wildly!

Oh my god! At this moment, what I feared most was that both Glenn and Ned would be hurt!

At Ned's age, he surely couldn't withstand this sort of provocation.

I took the cell phone out of my pocket and looked at the cell phone screen. For a moment, I didn't know who I was going to call.

Should I call Patrick? No way.

What was the use of calling Shelton?

Should I call Ned? No way.

After thinking for a while, I dialed a number and called Roger instead.

Ever since the last time, I saved Roger's phone number.

Soon, Roger's joyful voice came over the phone, "Hey, isn't that Mrs. Cowell speaking? What makes you call me today?"

He had been deliberately calling me Mrs. Cowell.

I guessed that this matter surely had something to do with him.

I said, "Ask your people to remove the news."

"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Roger seemed to be drinking water. It wasn't until he swallowed the water in his mouth that he raised his voice, "Oh, you are talking about that. Am I wrong, Mrs. Cowell?"

This time, Roger emphasized the title "Mrs. Cowell".

I was very angry, saying, "In fact, your behavior has no effect on either Patrick or Shelton. They are running companies. So the stock price fluctuates at most and will be back to normal soon. However, Grandpa Cowell is old. And he can't stand these!"

"Well, that's right. I want that old thing to die as soon as possible."

Roger said as-a-matter-of-factly.

His words made me feel a chill on my back. And I asked, "Your purpose is Grandpa Cowell, right?" "Yes, ignore Patrick or Shelton. After all, I can't ruin the Cowell Family. I want Ned to die of anger." Roger paused and continued, "Miss Nolan, I guess you don't know how to use the recording function on your cell phone."

"Recording?"

"Oh yes! I can record our convesation with my cell phone!"

However, I indeed didn't know how to do it.

I admitted it, "Yes, I don't know how to. But you are so young. What hatred can you hold against Grandpa Cowell?"

Roger wasn't even as old as Patrick.

When Roger started to hang out in the business field, Ned should have given up his position.

There was at least one generation gap between the two of them. How could there be any grudges between them?

"As for the grudge..." Roger smiled, "I guess that Ned, the old bastard, has done too many bad things. And he certainly won't remember what he ever did to my family."

"Don't say that. He..."

"What? Are you going to speak up for him? Don't you know that your husband's, Shelton's, biggest wish is to destroy the Cowell Family as well?"

Ned's words stunned me.

I held the cell phone in my hand with a little force and said after a long while, "You...You are lying."

"I'm not lying. Ask Shelton by yourself. If a man's son wants to ruin him as well, the way you see it, can he be someone good?" Knowing that I didn't turn on the recording, Roger said more unscrupulously, "Are you afraid that Ned will die? Let me tell you, after doing so many bad deeds, he is safe and sound. And he won't die because of such a trivial matter."

"But..."

"It's impossible to remove the news. But if Ned does die because of this matter, I surely will treat you to a meal and thank you personally. Hahaha."

Roger laughed loudly and hung up the call.

I looked at the phone screen and felt a little helpless for a moment.

"Does Shelton want Ned to die as well?"

"That's right. After all, Ned didn't treat his mother well in the past. And Shelton didn't enjoy his life in his childhood..."

I instantly felt that the situation in the Cowell Family might have been more complicated.

Nancy looked at me on the side and asked, "What's wrong?" "I..." I hesitated for a moment. Looking at Nancy, I said, "I am so confused."

"Come on, tell me about it."

Nancy pulled me to sit on a sofa.

The two of us sat side by side. I looked at Nancy and said, "I suddenly don't know what position I am in now."

"Yes." Nancy said, "Go ahead, I won't interrupt you."

Besides telling Nancy what Roger had said just now, I told her the relationship between Patrick, Shelton, and me. Then I said, "I suddenly feel that Shelton doesn't love me and that Patrick should love me instead. The reason why Shelton wants to possess me is that Patrick loves me."

The reason why I stayed by Shelton's side was that I feared that he had indeed injected drugs into Glenn's body.

The Cowell Family was originally unshakable. Whether it was Patrick, Shelton, or the others in the Cowell Family, they all had their own companies and formed their own sects while taking care of each other. And my appearance has put Towering High in a crisis. If I was used by Roger this time and Ned got infuriated, I surely can't bear to stay in the Cowell Family anymore."

Hearing my words, Nancy thought for a moment and said, "I think the most important thing now is Shelton as well as his purpose. After observing him these days, I think he loves you."

"He doesn't love me."

Seeing that I was so determined, Nancy was somewhat surprised.

I paused before explaining it to Nancy, "Shelton doesn't love me. He had an affair with a maid before we got engaged. On the day of the engagement banquet, I heard with my own ears that he was making love with a maid... Of course, I don't know if a man and woman are the same."

When a woman met someone she didn't love, she definitely didn't want to make love with him.

Make love...Make love...How to make love if the man and the woman didn't love each other?

Nancy furrowed her eyebrows, looking distressed, "Your... Your situation is so complicated. I can't figure it out."

"You think so as well, right?" I smiled bitterly.

I was so confused.

I used to think that Shelton loved me. And most of what he did showed that he loved me.

However, now that such a thing had happened, I became uncertain again.

It could be said that I didn't believe that he loved me.

When I was at a loss of what to do, my cell phone rang.

I stood up and saw the caller ID on the screen. It was a call from Shelton.

What was meant to be would come in the end.

I picked up the call, "Hello."

"Charlotte Archer, I want to see you."

Unexpectedly, it was a woman's voice that came over the phone.

I soon recognized it was Melissa's voice.

Her voice made me realize that she was coming at me with evil intentions.
