“That’s possible. I see them together a lot.”
“Does this mean that Miss Lynch has been betrayed?”
Once Patrick heard those remarks, his handsome face began to express fury. “Get this clear, she was the one who rushed in and slapped Linda. I’ve long since broken up with her.”
“Do you know what prompted her to slap Linda, then?”
Upon hearing Forrest’s sharp question, Patrick was stunned. “No matter what reason it is, it’s just not right to slap someone.”
Mireya gave a smile, which looked more hideous than her teary face.
She actually fell for such a man back then. Had she been blind?
Forrest tapped Mireya on the shoulder pitifully. “It’s not right to slap someone, but as her ex-boyfriend, don’t you understand her character? Well, you probably couldn’t have been bothered to understand her. To you, even a strand of this woman’s hair matters more than Mireya. Perhaps, in your eyes, Mireya is altogether wicked.”
Patrick froze for a moment. “Forrest, we’re talking about the slapping incident. It’s not worth discussing what happened in the past either. We’ve long since broken up.”
“You’re right. I’m just… I’m just indignant because my sister wasted her youth on a man like you.”
Forrest’s cold eyes revealed indifference. “Well, since Mireya slapped her, it surely means that she deserves being slapped. You can call the police to come to the Lynch family’s house and arrest Mireya. Let’s see if you manage to get her arrested.”
With that, Forrest took Mireya away and went downstairs.
“Forrest, you’re basically pampering her.” Stung by his words, Patrick felt that he had lost his dignity.
“Yeah, I am because she’s my beloved sister. I care about her, so why shouldn’t I pamper her?”
Forrest snorted and then left without looking back.
Mireya, who was protected in Forrest’s arms, did not turn around and glance at Patrick again.
On the other hand, Patrick felt an intense pressure in his chest all of a sudden.
He recalled Mireya saying that she regretted having ever loved him.
Did she just say it out of fury?
Why did he suddenly feel as though the woman was going to part with him for good?
“Ouch. It’s painful…”
Nestled in Patrick’s arms, Linda covered her face and moaned in pain. “It hurts badly, Patrick.”
“Let me send you to the hospital.”
Patrick supported her while walking.
“I can’t move. I think my legs are injured.” A bitter smile appeared on Linda’s face.
Patrick had no choice but to carry her and walked down the stairs.
“By the way, do you know why Mireya lost control and slapped you, Linda?”
Now that Patrick had regained his composure, it hit him that Mireya, though arrogant, would not usually attack someone for no reason no matter how angry she was. What was more, it had been half a year since they broke up. If she had meant to cause Linda trouble, she would have done it at the end of last year.
“How would I know? I last met her in the hospital as well. I haven’t met her since then.” Linda pouted in an aggrieved manner.
Patrick kept quiet.
From today onward, he would be filled with regret and nostalgia for Mireya whenever he recalled what had happened today,
Unfortunately, nothing in the world could cure regrets.
…
At the car park.
Shortly after Mireya got into the car, she spotted Patrick carrying Linda into his own car.
At that moment, she felt deeply dispirited.
At least she had not regretted loving him back then, although her love was one-sided.
Nevertheless, she now deeply regretted wasting her youth on such a man.
She could not figure out how she got blinded and fell for Patrick during her freshman year.
Why was she still unable to start a new relationship after half a year had passed?
Large teardrops trickled down her cheeks.
Forrest handed her a piece of tissue. “Don’t cry. It’s not worth crying over this kind of person. Family is always your backbone.”
“Brother.” Mireya wept bitterly. “How silly of me! I can’t even handle little things like this and ended up putting my friends into trouble.”
“Don’t overthink it. You were merely playing a minor role. You’re not that powerful.”
Mireya was at a loss for words.
Were those words a form of consolation or a blow to her?
“I’m serious,” Forrest added nonchalantly, “The other party is so formidable that he could even trick several wealthy families in Australia. Obviously, women like you are far from powerful.”
“What can I do, then?” Mireya was incredibly upset.
“You can either go back to Melbourne and manage our family’s company or study abroad.” Forrest stared into her eyes. “When you become the top cosmetic chemist in the world, the Snow family won’t be able to continue blacklisting you by then. Moreover, Osher Corporation will beg you to work with them.”
As Mireya was picturing the scene, a wave of emotions overwhelmed her. A moment later, however, she wore a long face. “No way. How can I possibly leave Cate high and dry? What’s more, Charity is in jail. My conscience will bother me if I leave.”
“Considering how powerless you are, what’s the point of you staying here?”
Forrest’s words left her completely speechless.
…
In the manor.
The moment Cate received a message from Mireya, she went next door to look for Shaun.
She pushed the door open and entered the room, only to find a servant mopping the floor of the empty room. “Where’s Shaun?”
“Eldest Young Master Lyons has moved to the main building beside this one. Don’t you know that, Young Madam?” the servant asked in perplexity.
“…”
Cate shuddered, feeling cold. Previously, he tried his hardest to sleep beside her. Sometimes, he even sneaked into her room when he returned at night.
When did he stop behaving this way?
Was it after Shelley passed away?
Was it because he had issues with her?
She contributed to Shelley’s death and consequently ruined Shaun and Rodney’s relationship.
She gave a bitter laugh and admitted that she was contradicting herself.
When he kept pestering her, she found him annoying and asked him to get lost.
