Chapter 279 Stealing One’s Partner
The victim Involved could say nothing as Patricia had offered the sincerest of apologies.
Charles then <b>said</b>, “We’re all friends here, so this is considered over. The feast is ready, so let’s go <b>down </b>to <b>have </b>dinner.”
Everyone silently agreed to move past this and stood up
Patricia didn’t look at anyone and left alone. However, she <b>wasn’t </b>heading to the feast.
Emelie was concerned and wanted to follow Patricia, but William grabbed her hand. “Where are you going? Did you miss me after not seeing me for a whole attemoon?
Those who didn’t know the truth herween them would think that he was flirting with her if they heard it
However, Emelie wasn’t bold enough to assume that. She simply thought that she must have somehow offended him after opening <b>her </b>mouth suddenly just now and he was thinking <b>of </b>ways to teach her <b>a </b>lesson.
He and Charles were business partners but she helped Patricia, implying that charles’s cousin was trying to steal her partner. And unlike Patricia, she didn’t apologize <b>to </b>Charles and Elena Charles was to take this <b>against </b>him, it would affect his interests,
william hated it when women brought him necessary problems.
She did well conceming this in the past three years<b>. </b><b>That </b>was why she chose not to tell him even about the abortion.
Emelie said in a gentler tone, “Mr. Middleton, I’m going to look after Patricia She drank a lot.”
“She <b>can </b>drick as well as you.” A ss of whiskey wouldn’t be enough to take her down.
But they were cousins afterall, and William did have some concem. He let her go and said, “Come look for me after you send her back to her room,”
Emellenodded before chasing after Patricia by heading to the direction she lett
The people inside the room had almost left and Will was also heading downstairs, only to see Elena still standing them
It was as lf Eleta was waiting for him to look her way. She then said, “It seems that Emelle has misunderstood
Win paused slightly <b>and </b>asked, “heard that you met each other in the afternoon at the hot springpool.”
rtionship. Should I exin it to her?
Elena was slightly cback and said, “We did have a small chat, but I didn’t mention anything about us in highschool”
William then asked nonchntly, “Which part of highschool?”
Elena pursed her lips a little when she opened her mouth to speak again, she no longer kept her distance by calling <b>him </b>“Mr. Middleton” anymore. “Wim<b>, </b><b>I’m </b>getting it. I wanted to split up all those years ago on impulse. I still like you. The reason <b>I </b>came back this time is because of you.” William betened before giving her a sneer.“So, she didn’t misunderstand anything.”
She didn’t
understand that Elena wanted to steal her partner away.
Elena cook another step forward and grabbed William’s sleeve, her voice gentle and tempting like a drizzle at <b>the </b>beginning of Spring.
Then Will you allow me?
Emele went downstairs and saw Patricia sting on <b>the </b>steps right outside of Saly’s Hovel. It seemed like the alcohol <b>had </b>gotten to her and that she was feeling unwell as she buried her head between her knees.
When Emelie saw her shuddering in the cold wind, she sighed and removed her jacket. She walked over and put it on her.
Patrick suddenly raised her head
In that instant, there was joy in her eyes
But when she saw that it was Ene, the light dimmed.
Emelie know. “You thought was Bryan?”
There was since
Patricia gave a bitter smile. “I’m lying to myself He didn’t even say a word to me just now, so he naturally would “e after me, right?
Emelie couldn’tofter her any words of constion, so she simply sat next to her and apanied her.
In melle’s memories, Patricia wasn’t someone that would tell others about her feelings. But she wasn’t sure if it was because of the alcohol or because of the strong emotion was having, she started blunting out in murmus fog.
“Bren and was the one who mistook him for someone else <b>right </b>from the very beginning”
Emelie wasn’t sure she understood it correctly. “Mistook him for someone else?
How did that happen?
Patricia lowered her head and started rummaging through her purse and took out a pack of cigarettes for women and a lighter, asking her if she minded
Emelie shook her head. “<b>Go </b>ahead.”
There was a shoffice and light, and a pal of smoke came out from Patricia’s mouth.
“I’m not actually called Patricia May. My real family name is Wade. My names Patrice Wade.”
“The Wides and the Swansons he been cooperating for a long time, and they have both wanted to strengthen this rtionship through insage for <b>a </b>long time. As the only daughter in the Wade family, I’m destined to carry our this day.

*When I graduated from university and came back from overseas, my family <b>held </b><b>a </b>party for me to get to know the youngest son of the 5 fryn was the son any family had Intended for me to marry.”
Chapter 180 Romeo and Juliet
The Wades <b>were </b>based in Eprand
And the older generation in Eprand all led to invite a theaterpany to perform, regardless of whether it was <b>for </b>a celebration or for mourning –
When a scene <b>was </bpleted and they needed to change sels, a green screen would be pulled up on stage.
When Patricia was younger, she liked to climb up the stage and pull up the screen to quietly peek at how the production crew was setting up the stage <b>and </b>how the cast would put
their makeup.
Twm when she was older, she didn’t change her bad habit and still led her younger rtives to climb up to the stage.
of her younger rtives had asked, “What’s the next scene?
<b>Patricia </b><b>was </b>also quite curious when she saw the staff setting up a scene with walls <b>and </b>coods. She was still investigating it when she heard her parents‘ bughtering <b>from</b>
“There she is! she still likes to peek at the theaterpanyjust like when she wasntlee down here, Patric. How many times do I have to tell you that it’s impolite to peek at the actors putting on their makeup?
“<b>Besides</b>, you’re much older now too, Aren’t you embarrassed to still be ying around with your younger rtives?
“tapologize that you had to see her like this.”
Patricia <b>understood</b>. This had to be herance
Shesuddenly wanted to poll open the screen and take a look
At this time, the rambling <b>sound </b>of the drams started to y from behind the stage. The next scene was ready, and the screen in front of her was slowly pulled open as the drifting. background music started to be more promment.
The young man who was standing next to her parents looked over
Just like how the groom raised up the veil of the bride during their wedding day, a pair of eyes on stage locked onto another pair of eyes off stage.
That was how <b>Patricia </b>and Bryan met for the first time.
Patricia smiled with tears in her eyes. “The theaterpany was performing Romeo and Juliet. When Romeo first saw Juliet at the <b>dance </b><b>hall</b>, he fell for her at first sight‘
When it came to Bryan, it had been love at first sight for her.
Only after her parents” official introduction did she find out that he was not the son that she was supposed to get married to. The Swanson family had five children, and three of
them were <b>som</b>
The son that she was supposed to my was unhappy with this marriage, so he had refused toe to the party. Hm older brother had <b>gone </b>there to exin the situation and to apologize.
But no one had expected Patricia to fall <b>in </b>love at first sight with Bryan and not want anyone else.
Emelie could never have guessed that they had started out like thatRêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Sheknew that <b>in </b>their social circle, usually, if the groom couldn’t join the party and someone from his family had to apologize on his behalf, everyone knew that there would be a marriage between them.
This was because they were worried for the bride and her family, that they would be the tople of gossip by outsiders.
Why didn’t the groome? Was it because their rtionship had worsened?
Emelie then asked, “What happened next? How did things be like this?”
How did Patrice Wade be Patricia <b>May</b><b>?</b>
How did the treasured daughter of the Wade family be Weston’s famous Socialite Queen?
How did the ncer of Bryan’s younger brother be beyan’s unrecognized lover?
Patricia took another puff of her cigarette and her eyes <b>looked </b>down. She looked dejected as she was surrounded by the smoke.
<b>“</b><b>At </b>the time, he had work in prand and stayed in my home for a few days but I couldn’t stop myself <b>from </b>flirting with him. The more flirted with <b>him</b>, the more liked him and the more liked him, the more I felt that he was the man wanted.
“I refused but kept on pestering him. When he was in his moment of weakness, I seized the opportunity”
After a chaticevening, everything had gone off the rails since <b>then</b><b>.</b>
“Alter that, I kept on thinking that maybe it was allmpshaded. In R and Juliet, the two of them had to elope. In the end, Bryan and 1 eloped.”
<b>But </b>to be more precise<b>, </b>she had chased after Bryan from Eprand to Capebatt Cry, unwaveringly and unrepentantly.
Her parents had cursed her. Despite being engaged with the younger brother, she had seduced Bryan instead. if news of this were to spread, the Wade family’s reputation would be
Patricia had them told them to forget about her and pretend as if their daughter had never existed in the family.
She <b>changed </b>her name from Patrice Wade to Patricia May and would never mention her <b>identity </b>to anyone. That was how she ended up with Bryan.
She was originally someone so high and mighty in the end, she fell so far from grace that anyone could trample her however they like.
Emelie had no words as she simplyeted the wrong understanding in her heart…
When Bryan said that “the Swanson family can’t bear the humiliation“, he didn’t mean how lining they were for each other.
It was because the Swanson family couldn’t ept the scandal of how their older son married the fiancee of their younger son.
<b>Patrol </b>sided her cigarette and let out a quiet smile. “<b>I </b>know I deserve this. Everything that happened <b>so </b>far is <b>a </b>result of my own actions, I <b>don’t </b>deserve <b>any </b>sympathy.
