Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 270

The group departed with a triumphant swagger.

All that remained was the other hundred-million-dollar debt contract, which had been slapped hard against Patrick's face.

Patrick watched the group's retreating backs, the world spinning around him.

His vision went dark.

Then, he fell backward, stiff as a board.

The last thing he heard were a few faint shouts before he lost consciousness completely.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Patrick woke to a throbbing headache.

He opened his eyes to the familiar sight of his bedroom ceiling.

His throat was on fire, painfully dry and sore.

"Water… water…"

His voice was so hoarse that all that came out was a weak, raspy whisper, so faint he could barely hear it himself.

The room was empty.

No one answered.

He had fainted.

And not a single person was in the room looking after him?!

Patrick's chest heaved with anger, which only made the dry, itching pain in his throat worse, sending him into a fit of dry coughs.

Every cough felt like a knife slicing his throat.

Patrick forced himself to sit up.

As he hardly got out of bed, a wave of intense dizziness washed over him.

He reached up and touched his forehead. It was burning hot.

"It's all my fault. It's all because of me that the family has ended up like this… Maybe… maybe I should just leave. If I leave… maybe my sister will cool down and forgive the family… and she'll be willing to come back."

"Hailey, what nonsense are you talking about?" Logan immediately cut her off. "You're just too kind, that's why you blame yourself for everything!"

"How could this be your fault? It's all that ungrateful Serena! I saw from the beginning that she was trouble, that she was vicious to the core! She's a menace, a jinx. Bringing her into this family has only brought us more disaster!"

Whenever Logan thought about the Serena he had always looked down upon now being the leader of that group of top-tier heirs…

A bitter taste filled his mouth.

Especially since Serena had instigated those heirs to force the Wynn family to sign what was essentially a contract of indentured servitude.

It was tantamount to grinding the Wynn family's dignity into the dirt!

What Logan was most unwilling to admit was that he had completely misjudged her…

He clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "She can't even hold a candle to you!"

Hearing this, Hailey was naturally delighted, but she kept on whimpering.
