Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 71

Shelton and I had just met each other for a few times. However rich he was, I surely couldn't take fifty million dollars from him for free!

And I didn't know who he really was.

If I got the money from him, it was unknown what would happen next.

However, Shelton didn't intend to take the check back. Moreover, he seemed to have seen through my mind as he said, "I don't have any ultimate motive for you. And I won't let you do anything for me because of this matter. In my eyes, this money is petty. As your neighbor, I am just giving you a hand."

Shelton added, "There's no interest. You can pay it back to me slowly."

Shelton added.

In fact, accepting Shelton's money would be the best solution.

After all, there was a deadline to repay a mortgage loan from the bank. If Seth couldn't repay, my house would be taken away. And Rosy surely would blame me at that time.

However, I believed that if Seth got the money, he surely could make a comeback.

I, who had been hesitant, made up my mind that I would accept Shelton's money...

At that time, "Di."

A sound came from the elevator behind us.

I turned around and saw Patrick, who had changed into a suit, walking out of the elevator.

As soon as I saw him, I quickly withdrew my hand, feeling like being caught on the scene for doing something bad!

Patrick raised his head. It was obvious that he had seen me withdrawing my hand.

At the same time, he also saw the check that Shelton was holding in the air.

Patrick glanced at Shelton. And his face immediately became gloomy. He walked to my side and stopped me, saying, "Uncle, why are you with my wife?"

I could tell the displeasure in his tone.

Shelton curled up his lips and said, "Nothing. I hear that Charlotte has some financial difficulties. So I intend to help her."

"Help her? I will help her if she needs money." Patrick lowered his head and glanced at the number on the check, "Uncle, this money isn't a small amount for your small- sized company, right? You'd better take it back in case your company will be closed down."

Although I didn't speak, I could sense the hostility in the air.

I wanted to leave. But Patrick restrained me so tightly with his hands that I couldn't move at all.

However, I found Patrick's words harsh.

He was insulting Shelton by saying so.

I looked at Shelton. Through the thin glass mirror, I saw that there was a faint smile in his sharp eyes.

Shelton didn't seem to be provoked by his words at all. He smiled and said, "I'm just trying to help her. Now that you've seen it, I, an outsider, won't be involved in your matter."

After that, he put away the check and turned back to his room.

With a gloomy look on his face, Patrick pulled me back home without letting go of my hand.

He walked me all the way to the sofa. Then he sat down by himself and pressed me on his lap. Restraining me in his arms, he looked at me with his black eyes, "How do you know him? Why didn't you tell me earlier that he lives next to you?" "I didn't know him at first. It is because he lives next door that I met him.'

Patrick ruthlessly exposed me, "Nonsense. You haven't seen him before! He didn't come to our wedding ceremony!"

So I had to tell him the truth.

Moreover, I and Shelton didn't do anything fishy.

Patrick's face became somewhat gentle after he heard me out. But he warned me, "Stay away from him."

"Why? Isn't he your uncle?"

I was confused.

But Patrick didn't answer me. Instead, he continued to imprison me, lowered his head, and asked me, "Do you need money?"

At this moment, he had eased his tone a lot.

He was no longer as lofty as he had been just now. Instead, he seemed to be coaxing a child.

I nodded helplessly and told Patrick the reason why Shelton had intended to lend me money.

Hearing this, Patrick sighed helplessly and asked me, "Am I that untrustworthy in your heart?"

"Yes." I lowered my eyes, "If you put Caroline in prison one day, I'll think that you can be trusted."

I knew that what I had said wouldn't happen at all.

The expression on Patrick's face also confirmed my guess.

He asked me, "How much do you need?"

"I need 50 million dollars. I'll give it to Seth. And I believe that he will return the money to you soon," I replied.

Patrick nodded, "Okay, I'll give the money to him on your behalf. Don't worry. The money surely will be in his bank account within three days."

"Thank you." I twisted my body and asked him, "Can I come out?"

Unexpectedly, instead of letting me go, Patrick confined me in his arms more tightly. Then he leaned sideways and pressed me on the sofa, looking at me with his deep eyes.

I saw a lot of emotions in his eyes.

He looked at me for a long time before he said, "No, Charlotte. You ignored me yesterday and I was very angry about it."

As he spoke, he was about to kiss me. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

However, Seth was on my mind now. I turned my face away and lowered my eyes, "I don't want to do it now."

I was just expressing my feelings. And I didn't expect Patrick to understand me at all.

But the next second, Patrick got up. While sorting out his clothes, he said, "Well, then I will go on waiting for you until you want to do it."

I looked at the view of Patrick's back and thought there was something wrong with my ears.

When he went into the bedroom, I left.

I went to the Holy Spirit Hospital to see Seth. Although I didn't say where the money came from, Seth had already guessed it.

He lowered his head and said with self-reproach, "Charlotte, I am incapable and can't manage the company well, right? I have to rely on you to borrow money from your husband, who isn't good to you at all."

"No," I shook my head. To comfort him, I said, "He is rich. It will make no difference to him at all if I borrow some money from him. It's not like you won't pay him back. The way I see it, lending money to you is the best investment."

Seth was happy and repeatedly said that he would make a lot of money after he was discharged from the hospital, saying that he would pay the money back to Patrick with interest.

He didn't want to owe Patrick anything.

Later, I told the cafe where I was working about my situation and was absent for a few days. Only after Seth was discharged from the hospital did I go back to work there.

However, when Seth was in the hospital and I went there to accompany him, however late it was, Patrick would always wait for me at the entrance of the hospital.

It had been half a month since I went to work in the cafe shop again. Then I saw Angie again.

This time, she looked better.

I took the initiative to talk to her. It was probably because Seth's company was in a good condition that she was in a good mood. So she wasn't that repulsive to me anymore.

But when I was chatting with her, I found out something unacceptable to me.

Angie told me that Glorious Seth Design was now a subordinate company of Towering High Group. Patrick hired a professional manager to take care of the Glorious Seth Design.

As for Seth, he was now only the Director of the Design Department.

It was somewhat difficult for me to accept this fact for a moment.

I often saw Patrick in recent days. And I occasionally contacted Seth. But neither of them told me about this!

It should be Patrick who had forced Seth to keep it from me.

Although I was angry at that time, I still had to continue my work.

As soon as I got off work, I went straight to the Towering High Group!
