Chapter 153: Don't Look at Me Twice
"Why?" Osborn's eyes darkened instantly, and he asked urgently, "You and Patrick have a contract relationship, right? Didn't you say that you don't like him and will soon break off the engagement with him? Did he force you?"
Seeing Osborn so excited, Jane shook her head helplessly. "What? Do you think anyone can force me?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Then why..." Osborn's face showed some melancholy and hurt.
Indeed, according to Jane's personality, no one could force her to do anything, including Patrick.
So... Jane accepted Patrick because...
Jane pursed her lips and gave Osborn an answer. "Because I fell in love with Patrick. So I agreed to his pursuit."
"No, this is impossible!" After hearing Jane's words, Osborn was full of shock and disbelief.
Jane had clearly said that the engagement between him and Patrick was only arranged by their grandfathers. She didn't have any feelings for Patrick at all. How could she fall in love with him?!
"In France during these days," Jane explained,"I got to know Patrick again. Especially after we crashed into the sea together when our plane went down - he risked his own safety to save me. He deserves my trust for life."
"Jane, this is not love at all."Osborn held onto Jane's shoulders with both hands."You were just moved by what he did for you. Moving doesn't equal love. I can do whatPatrick did foryou too. Why
don'tyou choose me instead?"
"Osborn, don't be like this."Jane gently pushed away Osborn."We are not suitable."
In Osbon's gaze was nothing but a look of injury."Jane, don't you know thatPatrick loves Candyin his heart?"
Candy...
For some reason, Jane's heart sank.
She frowned slightly as she spoke,"CandyandPatrick are already in the past tense. Now, the person whom Patricks loves is me."
"Jane, you're deceiving yourself. Do you have confidence? If one day, Candy suddenly appears, canyou guarantee thatPatrick won't choose Candy?"
Osborne's words were like a hammer hitting on Janes' heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
She had thought about it before - Candy might still be alive, and might suddenly appear someday. But, she had already made up her mind when she decided to be withPatrick. She would make sure thatPatric lovedher completely, and there would be no room left in his heart for anyone else – including Candy.
Thinking of this, Jane nodded firmly,"Yes, I am confident."
"What?" Patrick's expression turned dark as he heard Florence's words. "Jane was with Osborn?"
Florence nodded, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. "Yes, they were together at the Pansy Group entrance. Erica said that Jane was trying to seduce him."
Patrick clenched his fists, feeling a surge of anger rise within him. He had trusted Jane completely and now it seemed like she had betrayed him.
"Where is she now?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"I saw her get into Osborn's car," Erica replied before Florence could say anything.
Patrick didn't waste another moment and stormed towards his car parked nearby. He needed to find Jane and confront her about what had happened.
As he drove through the streets of the city, his mind raced with thoughts of betrayal and hurt. How could Jane do this to him? Had their relationship meant nothing to her?
Finally, he spotted Osborn's car parked outside a fancy restaurant downtown. Without hesitation, Patrick got out of his own car and marched towards them.
"Jane!" he called out as soon as he reached them.
Jane looked up from where she was sitting with Osborn inside the restaurant and paled when she saw Patrick standing there looking furious.
(Note: This is just an example translation that may not be perfect or final.)
"What does this woman Jane want? She just agreed to Patrick's pursuit, promising to be with him, but then turned around and fell into Osborn's arms?"
Patrick's face grew colder.
Florence continued to add fuel to the fire. "They look like they're in a romantic relationship. Patrick, did you break up with Jane? You two were only in a contractual marriage anyway. There's nothing wrong with Jane being with Osborn."
"Florence, I'll say it again. I don't want to hear any gossip about Jane," Patrick said calmly but firmly.
He was angry, but he would not allow anyone to speak ill of Jane or criticize her.
Florence persisted. "Patrick, why are you so good to Jane? She doesn't deserve it."
"That's none of your business," Patrick replied coldly as if his eyes had been frosted over.
With that said, he ignored Florence and left without another word.
Watching Patrick walk away coldly and indifferently made Florence feel very aggrieved. "Patrick, you'll regret this someday!" she shouted after him.
...
Jane sat in Osborn's car while he drove silently with his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel; the atmosphere was somewhat awkward between them.
Although she had been busy with Pansy Group these past few days, she still paid attention to Star Entertainment as well.
Osborn had transferred many foreign businesses back home and invested in several heavyweight movies one after another which caused a great sensation in the entertainment industry.
"You're doing great," Jane praised sincerely.
Osborn had a talent for this kind of thing; otherwise she wouldn't have invested in Star Entertainment initially.
Osborn gave a bitter smile. "Even if I do well enough for you won't give me more than just one glance."
