Chapter 92: Patrick Is A Good Guy

Stunned, Melissa pursed her lips and reluctantly admitted, "Maybe my eyes played tricks on me."

The video Patrick had shown exposed the truth and revealed Melissa's lie. Jane couldn't help but add a touch of sarcasm, "Did your eyes deceive your classmate as well? Perjury is a crime, Melissa, and it can lead to detention, among other repercussions."

"I said my eyes deceived me!" Melissa yelled, desperation in her gaze as she turned to Patrick for help.

But Patrick paid her no heed and held Jane's hand. "Let's go."

Jane and Patrick left the ward hand in hand, leaving Melissa envious and frustrated.

As they entered the elevator, Patrick glanced at Jane with admiration. "Your performance today exceeded my expectations."

Jane smiled, teasing, "Did you expect me to be a pushover?"

Patrick grinned, shaking his head. "No."

"Thank you for what you did," Jane expressed her gratitude. She didn't anticipate that Patrick would stand up for her and unearth such crucial evidence that exposed Monica's lies.

But Patrick reminded her, "I promised to protect you."

His voice was enticing and slightly seductive, making Jane involuntarily lean closer. However, a hint of disappointment flickered in Patrick's eyes. Did she intend to keep her distance? Did she have no

feelings for him, considering what he had done for her? Patrick's expression grew cold, and the air in the elevator turned tense.

Just then, Jane's phone rang. It was her grandfather calling.

"Grandpa, why are you calling all of a sudden?" Jane answered.

Her grandfather's laughter echoed through the phone. "I saw what happened on TV today. Patrick is a good guy, and he's protecting you."

Jane was slightly embarrassed. Her grandfather's voice was so loud that Patrick might have overheard. Her grandfather continued with enthusiasm, "You've been spending a lot of time with him for almost a month now. How are you two? When will I get to attend your wedding?"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Jane blushed.

"Come on! This guy is talented, handsome, capable, and worthy of you," her grandfather praised Patrick.

"Grandpa, I have to go now," Jane hurriedly ended the call. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Your grandfather has great taste, much better than yours," Patrick teased.

Jane rolled her eyes. "You can be quite narcissistic, can't you?"

Ignoring Patrick, she focused on the elevator's floor indicator, eager to reach the first floor quickly.

As they exited the elevator, Patrick's phone rang. It was his grandfather, Mike.

"Grandpa, what's up?" Patrick answered with a subtle expression.

"I haven't seen you and Jane in a while. When are you two coming to visit me?" Mike's voice came through the phone speaker.

Patrick agreed, "I'll come to visit when I'm free."

"Make it tonight. I'll have the chef prepare your favorite dishes," Mike insisted, hanging up without waiting for Patrick's response.

Patrick sighed. Both he and his grandfather had a habit of being quite assertive. Jane asked what was going on, and Patrick explained that his grandfather had invited them for dinner that evening.

"Oh, I see," Jane responded with a faint smile.

Their grandfathers had called them at the same time, making Jane feel uneasy.

Patrick assured, "I'll pick you up after work."

They returned to the company, where Jane's coworker, Sylvia, approached her excitedly.

"Jane, your revelation this morning was amazing. You exposed that shameless Monica!" Eve exclaimed in admiration.

Jane smiled, saying, "She deserved it."

Eve pointed out how popular Jane had become online. "Do you know how popular you are on the internet now? Look at all the trending posts and searches, all about you."

Jane glanced at the screen and saw posts about her and Patrick. Most were supportive and admired their compatibility, while a few were harsh comments about Jane's background.

Jane asked Anthony to take down the trending posts, explaining it wasn't what she intended.

In Patrick's office, he was absorbed in browsing through the news but was soon surprised to see the posts about Jane being taken down within minutes.
