Reading the news, I saw the comments down below indicated that the situation was a little out of control.
Most netizens thought that Caroline surely had something to do with this matter.
A lot of the netizens who had commented were probably females. So, most of the comments were about scolding Caroline for being an angelic b**ch and fooling Patrick.
I turned off my cell phone and shook my head.
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
"No."
Regardless of whether Patrick had me in his mind or not, as long as I was here, I surely would make Caroline sick.
That was all I could do.
But I was content with it.
However, I had to find a job.
Without a laptop at home, I found it more and more inconvenient.
So I simply went to a store and bought a laptop. Considering that I would have to use it
to do my design drawings in the future, I made up my mind and purchased a more expensive and yet more productive one.
After I came back home, the first thing I did was to edit my resume and start to drop my resumes in the mails of different companies one by one.
I only hoped that taking advantage of the fact that many people would quit their jobs and find new ones before or after the Spring Festival, I could find a job.
Even if it was just an ordinary one, it would be fine for me.
I stayed at home dropping my resume in the mails for a whole day. It wasn't until at sunset that I remembered that I hadn't had dinner yet.
There was nothing in my refrigerator. So I had to go out for dinner.
I went to the commercial district outside the residential quarter, found a random fast-food restaurant, and had dinner there. Then I went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables, eggs, and meat, planning to cook at home.
When I finished purchasing the groceries and was on my way home, a car stopped in front of me.
Soon, the door to the passenger's seat opened. I saw Gina getting out of the car and shouting, "Charlotte Archer, don't move!"
Soon, Jeremy got out of the driver's seat.
"What brought you here?" I sneered, trying to bypass them.
Gina stopped me. Stepping forward, she grabbed my hair directly and scolded, "Aren't you ashamed? You could have been engaged in something else. Instead, you insist on being a mistress. Now you almost forced Caroline to death! Are you happy?"
"Let go."
Holding things in my hands, I wasn't in a convenient position.
Gina was getting more excessive as she said, "Let me tell you, Caroline is still in danger. If anything happens to her, I won't let you go!"
"But she killed my child."
"Your child? Your child is nothing!" Gina snorted. "The child of a b**tard is a b**tard as well!"
"A b**tard!"
Anger overwhlemed me in an instant.
"Shut up!" I was so angry that I clutched the plastic bag containing eggs in my hand and swung it directly!
I smashed it on Gina's head!
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound. Because of my great strength, all the eggs were broken!
Blended with the broken eggshell, both the egg white and the egg yolk flowed out of the gap of the plastic bag, directly pasting on Gina's hair and face!
She was stunned in an instant!
Then she loosened her grip.
I pulled my hair out of her hand directly and said coldly, "All of this is Caroline's fault. She reaps what she has sown. And it has nothing to do with me."
"Get back, go with us, and apologize to Caroline. Tell the media that Telma's drawings were forged by you!"
As soon as I took a step, Jeremy held my arms.
He was a man. And his strength was very strong.
"No way. The drawings aren't fake." I looked at Jeremy and found him ridiculous, "Caroline is your daughter. Don't you know her capability? She's so stupid. Don't you know what kind of works she can design?"
At this time, seeing that there was a fight, the people around us converged.
But they were simply enjoying a show.
Gina was covered with egg white and egg yolks. When she saw that someone was coming, she asked Jeremy to take me away.
Jeremy wanted to pull me into the car. But I refused.
However, he had great strength.
I couldn't stop him. So I could only shout for help desperately. While Gina stood beside the door to the back seat and explained to the ones around her, "Sorry, my daughter eloped with someone and was caught by us."
When everyone heard her words, no matter what I said, no one would bother with me.
When I was in despair, someone suddenly grabbed Jeremy with great force.
Jeremy stumbled backward. And I was dragged out by someone.
The next second, I fell into someone's strong arms.
It was Patrick.
I, who probably wanted to avenge, stood on my tiptoes and hooked Patrick's neck, acting like a spoiled child, "Patrick, thank God, you're here. Otherwise, they would have sent me out of City Y."
Patrick rested one of his arms on me, looking at Gina, who had egg white all over her head, and Jeremy, who was on the side.
Gina glanced at Patrick and immediately said, "Patrick, Caroline is still in the hospital. Why did you come back? Are you here to fetch something for her?"
Patrick said flatly, "I'm not officially engaged to Caroline yet."
All of a sudden, he stated that he wasn't connected to the Archer Family.
In an instant, Gina and Jeremy both looked a little embarrassed.
Jeremy looked dissatisfied as he said, "Even if you aren't engaged yet, you and Caroline have promised to each other that day when your grandfather and you were both on the scene. Now she is lying in the hospital. And her situation is very bad. How come you are protecting Charlotte here? If it weren't for her, Caroline would never have intended to kill herself!"
Gina echoed, "That's right! Caroline is so kind and so open-minded. The reason why she did something that desperate is that Charlotte drove her to a dead end!"
Just as I was about to defend myself, Patrick said, "Did Charlotte ask her to copy someone else's works?"
He was speaking up for me.
