Chapter 232
Patrick clenched his fists tightly and stood where he was for a few seconds before he said, "Did I
disturb you guys?"
"No," Shelton didn''t exin much to Patrick. He picked up the T- shirt next to him and turned his
face to ask me, "Are you done?"
I was still in a daze.
Hearing his question, I nodded quickly, "Yes."
Only then did Shelton put on his T-shirt. While tidying up his clothes, he walked towards Patrick and
asked, "Patrick, what''s wrong?"
Hardly had Shelton walked to the front of Patrick when Patrick directly swung his fist and hit him
fiercely!
Patrick directly knocked off Shelton''s sses.
"Hiss..." Shelton staggered back a few steps before he stood stably.
"What are you doing?"
I didn''t expect Patrick to hit Shelton. So I ran over to Shelton quickly.
Patrick didn''t pay attention to me at all. He grabbed the cor of Shelton''s T-shirt with
one hand, "Tell me, what on earth is your intention? You have a feud with our Cowell Family and
feel that it''s our family''s fault and that we owe you. In that case, you should target me. Don''t do
anything to her!"
As Shelton was dragged by Patrick, he didn''t move at all. He just quietly looked at Patrick with an
indifferent look on his face.
After his sses were knocked off, he who didn''t wear sses looked particrly cold and tough.
Even though he was confronting Patrick, I didn''t think that Patrick had overwhelmed him.
I picked up Shelton''s sses and tugged at Partick''s hand, "Let go of him."
Patrick looked at me. Besides anger, there was jealousy in his eyes as well.
He let go of Shelton and looked at me. Grabbing my wrist with one hand, he said quite angrily,
"Didn''t I tell you a long time ago that you should stay away from him and that he wasn''t as simple as
you imagined? There are so many men in the world. Why do you insist on pestering the men of our
Cowell Family? Is it because you don''t have many friends? And except for the men of the Cowell
Family, you can''t find any other men who are rich, right? If yes, let me introduce some to you!"
"What are you talking about?" I was stunned on the spot.
I was in a daze. For a moment, I couldn''t figure out what Patrick meant by saying this.
"What did I say?" Patrick looked at me coldly, "You are a vain woman. Aren''t you after money? Let
me tell you, Shelton is poor. Even if he is rich, I can immediately make him go bankrupt. I advise
you to seduce another man. Perhaps.."
"Bang!"
Before Patrick could finish his words, I raised my hand and pped him in the face!
I pped him quite hard. When I finished pping him, my hand became numb. But I didn''t feel
anything at all. Looking at him, I sneered, "So that''s how you think of me, right? In your eyes, am I
such a woman?"
"Aren''t you?" Patrick looked at me. Apart from coldness and disgust, I didn''t see anything else in his
eyes.
His words made mee to my senses!
"Yes! You are right! I am such a woman!" I gently rested my hands on my lower abdomen. It wasn''t
until this moment that I realized how ridiculous I was!
It turned out that in Patrick''s eyes, I was such a person.
I went straight to Shelton''s side and took his arm. Then I leaned my head on his shoulder and
pretended to be happy as I said, "Since you saw such a scene in person, Mr. Cowell, I won''t hide it
from you anymore. I am with him now. Mr. Cowell, I''m afraid that what you said beforees true
now."
"What did he ever say?"
As I held Shelton''s arm, he took the sses in my hands over and cooperated with me.
I looked up and saw some blood at the corner of Shelton''s mouth. I wiped the blood gently away
with my hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Cowell said that he would call me ''Auntie'' one day."
Patrick looked at me.
His eyes were so red that blood seemed to be about to dripping from them. He clenched his fists
and squeezed out a sentence through his clenched teeth, "Come here."
"Mr. Cowell, you''re getting married tomorrow." Holding Shelton''s arm as usual, I didn''t move.
Patrick repeated his words, "Come here."

For no reason, although I pretended that nothing had happened, I was anxious in my heart.
I was a little flustered.
Shelton pulled his arm out of my hand and patted me on the shoulders. Then he said gently, "You
should go back first. After all, the matter between me and Patrick has to be solved."
"The matter between me and you can be resolved slowly! What I need to solve now is the issue
between me and her!"
As Patrick spoke, he pulled me over directly.
He pulled me who was behind Shelton to his side.
He dragged me and intended to walk out of the room directly.
Seeing this, Shelton directly grabbed my arm.
I was pulled by the two of them in an instant.
"Let go!" I looked at Patrick angrily, "Mr. Cowell, is there anything unsolved between us? Howe
I don''t know about it?"
"It is what I said counts."
Patrick''s eyes were blood-red.
He furrowed his eyebrows so tightly that I could sense anger from the look on his face.
"Patrick, don''t drag anyone else into the thing between you and me. If you have any problem with
me, you cane to me directly."
"Really?" Patrick looked at Shelton and asked, "I just want to ask you, Uncle Shelton, when did you
start nning this thing?"
"What is it?"
Shelton looked confused. It seemed that he didn''t know what Patrick was talking about.
"Do I need to remind you?" Patrick paused and said, "You are Charlotte''s sponsor when she was in
the orphanage. You acquitted the Archer Family''spany and divided 51 percent of the stock to
her. Can you tell me what you are doing all of these for?"
"Who are you?"
I thought that I had heard Patrick''s words wrong.
Looking at Shelton incredulously, I said, "Did he say that you are my sponsor?"
Shelton looked at me. His expression wasn''t unnatural at all. However, the smile at the corner of his
mouth faded. He looked at me and said, "Sorry, I didn''t want you to be burdened. So I have never
told you about this matter."
"How could it be?" After I knew the news, I was excited. I looked at Shelton and stammered, "I... I
have always wanted to see you and express my gratitude to you!"
I wanted to pull my hand out of Patrick''s hand.
But Patrick held my hand too tightly. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn''t break from his restraint.
Seeing me doing so, Patrick became even more unhappy, "Are you a fool? Did you forget that you
had been kidnapped? How could it be so coincidental? Howe as soon as he texted you, the
one who kidnapped you came immediately?"
Hearing his words, I was stunned.
I looked at Shelton.
Looking back, I indeed found that what Patrick had said was true.
"It''s a coincidence." Shelton said tly, "No matter what I do, I won''t hurt you."
"Oh, Uncle Shelton, I know too well as for what kind of person you are!" Patrick sneered, "Won''t you
hurt her? Could it be that you have deceived her in sess with your innocent look?"
"Patrick, if you love Charlotte, you should either marry her or treat her well for the rest of your life. If
you are going to marry someone else, let go of her. Don''t interfere with her life anymore. Never
should you have any spections for no reason."
Shelton looked at Patrick.
"He doesn''t love me."
I spoke first.
When Patrick heard what I had said, he stared at me with an inexplicable expression. After a long
while, he said, "Who says that I don''t love you?"
