“Jane, you let go of Melissa right now! Don’t go too far. Now, your scandal with that celebrity has spread all over the inte and the news. What we said isn’t wrong. Where did you get the nerve to act this way?” Beatrice shouted loudly.


    Scandal spreading on the inte?


    With Osborn?


    Jane frowned, released Melissa, and pushed her away.


    Melissa’s feet slipped, and she fell directly into the bathtub next to her.


    It was tiled, and the impact was excruciating.


    Melissa felt pain as if her cyx was about to split.


    “Melissa, are you okay?” Beatrice was extremely distressed, rushing over to help Melissa up.


    “Aunt, it hurts so much!” Melissa grimaced in pain, ring at Jane. “Aunt, this Jane is a wicked person. You must kick her out!”


    Jane, however, paid no attention to their plight and just went back to her room.


    The phone that the waiter took away from herst night had been returned by Patrick.


    Jane picked it up casually and took a look.


    She found that the inte was flooded with news about her double-dealing, being involved with Osborn, and already having a secret rtionship, causing Patrick to be aughingstock.


    The whole inte was crazy, hurling all kinds of vulgarities at her.


    Jane remained expressionless, indifferent to the raging storm online.


    Once again, she upied the headlines, spreading like wildfire across the inte.


    Needless to say, someone must be fueling the fire.


    Beatrice helped Melissa out, giving Jane a stern look. “Jane, I’ll give you a day. Get out quickly! Stop harming Patrick!”


    Jane didn’t even give her a nce, heading straight to her suitcase to change out of her wet clothes.


    Melissa, shivering from the cold, saw Jane’s indifferent demeanor and felt the mes of jealousy burning within her.


    She walked over, snatched the clothes from Jane’s hands, threw them on the ground, and stepped on them with her wet feet.


    Then, she kicked Jane’s suitcase, leaving a footprint on it.


    Seeing the dirty clothes and the suitcase with shoe prints, Melissa’s mood improved a bit.


    She raised her chin triumphantly. “Jane, I’ll tell you, I’m not easy to bully. Listen to my aunt’s advice, leave now, and stop clinging like a piece of ster!”


    Jane raised her eyes, her clear gaze looking at Melissa. That beautiful oval face showed extreme coldness. “Bruda’stest collection shirt, worth 3 million, the suitcase is designed by the famous Italian designer Lisuo, worth 63 million. Pay me back.”


    “This piece of junk can’t possibly be worth that much!” Melissa, white with anger, screamed.


    “Aunt, she’s trying to scam me!” Melissa grabbed Beatrice’s arm.


    Jane curled her lips, lifting her red lips slightly. “Can’t afford it? No problem, then we’ll settle it with a p!”


    As the words fell, neither Melissa nor Beatrice reacted.


    A crisp sound.


    Jane’s pnded cleanly on Melissa’s face.


    “How dare you hit me!?” Melissa covered her face, looking at Jane in disbelief, her eyes turning red.


    Jane sneered. Since these two came to provoke her, she would y along.


    “I hit you when I want to. Do I need a special asion?”


    The words fell, and Jane pped Melissa’s other cheek.


    Melissa’s fair little face instantly swelled into a pig’s head.


    “Jane, you’ve gone crazy!” Beatrice, afraid Jane would continue, hurriedly went over to shield Melissa.


    It would be a disaster if Melissa’s face was permanently damaged.


    She raised her voice, “Don’t you dare touch Melissa again!”


    Jane sneered, “I just did. What are you going to do about it?”


    “You-” Beatrice realized that Jane didn’t take her seriously at all.


    Furious, she raised her hand and aimed a p at Jane’s face, “Jane, you shameless wretch! Today, I’ll teach you a lesson!”


    Jane furrowed her brows and was about to retaliate when a strong, familiar hand suddenly appeared, encircling Jane’s slender waist.


    That familiar sensation…


    It was Patrick!


    A tremendous force around her waist, Jane was pulled into Patrick’s embrace.


    Beatrice’s p missed its mark.


    “Mom, what are you doing?” Patrick’s face turned cold as he spoke in a low voice.


    Seeing Patrick’s arrival, Melissa immediately seized the opportunity toin, adding fuel to the fire, “Cousin, don’t protect this woman anymore. Jane is filming outside, giving you a big cuckold. It’s all over the inte! My aunt and I are just teaching her a lesson for you!”


    “Is that so?” Patrick’s expression faintly curved.


    “Did you not see the news today? This woman openly cheated with Osborn,pletely disregarding you. Why are you still protecting her? Jane is just a shameless woman! And before, she caused your grandfather to be in aa in the hospital. Have you forgotten all of that?” Beatrice, with an ashen face, used Jane of her various wrongdoings.


    “Mom, that’s between me and Jane. You don’t need to worry about it.” Patrick shielded Jane behind him, his tall and slender figure blocking Jane securely.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Standing behind Patrick, Jane looked at his straight back. In this moment, it felt like a chord within her was touched.


    “Cousin, we’re doing this for your own good. Why are you…” Melissa’s eyes were full of jealousy when she saw Patrick protecting Jane.


    However, before she could finish her sentence, Patrick coldly interrupted her, “The matters between Jane and me are none of your business!”


    His fierce and icy gaze fell on Melissa, “If there’s another time, even if she’s my cousin, I won’t go easy!”


    His powerful and cold aura overwhelmed Melissa, who couldn’t help but shiver.


    Melissa had never seen Patrick like this-cold and decisive. He was like a stranger with no mercy. She took a few steps back, feeling a bit frightened.


    “Fine, fine, fine!” Unable to change Patrick’s firm stance, Beatrice said angrily, “Since you insist on protecting this woman, I have no choice. But I hope you won’t regret itter!”


    Having said that, Beatrice angrily pulled Melissa away.


    The living room fell silent instantly.


    Jane sneezed, feeling unwell. She sniffed and said, “Actually, you can exin to them. The news online is all fake.”


    He didn’t even exin the cuckold situation.


    Yesterday’s reporters were really shameless. The truth was already revealed.


    And Erica was taken away by the police on the spot, yet they still reported false news of her infidelity.


    Jane’s eyes darkened. The person behind the scenes manipting all of this…


    “It was my negligence that let these reporters write nonsense.” Patrick, seeing Jane’s wet hair, took off his jacket and draped it over her. He directly lifted Jane at the waist and headed towards the bathroom.
