Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 113

I was a little surprised.

I believed that the Archer Family indeed had encountered some problems. But I didn't expect that the situation would have come to this point.

Seeing me look around, Rosy took my hand and said, "It's okay. It's not a big deal."

Rosy's house was very big. At this time, a lot of things had been moved away. And there were fewer servants. At once, her house looked desolate and quiet.

However, Diane was still here.

"Grandma, in fact, I don't have much use for the house you gave me. How about I sell it and give the money..."

"No need. Each enterprise surely will be in some trouble. It's just that the medias tend to make an exaggeration out of it."

Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Rosy.

"But..."

I was a little hesitant.

"Exaggeration?"

If I hadn't entered Rosy's house, I probably would have thought so.

But now, I saw that there were fewer servants and fewer antiques in the house. Moreover, the big house looked quiet and dull. I had long guessed that the whole thing wasn't as what Rosy said.

"It's okay. It's okay."

Besides repeating that it was fine, Rosy didn't say anything else.

I guessed that she, who knew the situation of Archer's Group very well, didn't know what else to say except for assuring me that everything was fine.

At the thought of what happened between Caroline and Patrick, I asked, "If Caro... Sister marries Patrick, will it make the situation better?"

Originally, I wanted to address Caroline directly as Caroline Archer.

But at this time, if I were on bad terms with Caroline, Rosy might be more distressed.

So I changed how I addressed Caroline.

Rosy heard my words and let out a long sigh, "Alas. It is not easy for Caroline to be connected to Patrick Cowell. However, she turned to the most stupid way, intending to make others think more highly of her. But in the end, she reaped what she had sown."

I knew what Rosy was talking about.

"But, didn't Patrick's grandfather approve their marriage?"

"Now that Ned has reneged on his words. With the things that Caroline has done, I feel ashamed to reason with Ned and convince him."

The look on Rosy's face indicated that she was in a dilemna.

I knew what she was talking about.

Seeing her like this, I actually felt a little regretful...

If I hadn't exposed Caroline's plagiarism, the situation probably would not have turned out like this.

I was silent. Rosy patted my hands and said, "You don't have to overthink it. This matter isn't anyone's fault. Archer's Group is just like me. As we age, some long-standing diseases will inevitably have to overwhelm us again."

When I was at Rosy's house that day, it wasn't me who tried to comfort Rosy. Instead, Rosy had been comforting me.

She repeatedly instructed me in a tough tone that never should I sell the house in Unit No.1, City Y.

I had no choice but to promise her for the time being.

However, if Archer's Group was indeed in trouble, I thought that I would sell this house in the end.

After that, my life went on as usual.

Because of my good performance, I finally was assigned with a project related to a small-sized western restaurant.

The western restaurant was located in a bustling area downtown. On the first day, I went there to measure its size, planning to draw the effect sketches.

After a busy day, I came out of the store at night.

As I was hesitating about where to have dinner, I looked up and saw a familiar figure.

It was Patrick.

We hadn't seen each other for many days. But he looked glorious as usual as he was wearing a gem blue hand- made shirt and casual pants. And there stood a woman side by side with him.

The two of them were walking towards a jewelry shop.

That store was specialized in selling diamonds, mainly diamond rings for weddings.

Although I only saw the woman's back view, I was very sure that she was not Caroline.

Because the woman's hair was as black and shiny as the seaweed. And Caroline's hair was permed all year around.

Moreover, I thought of the date when Caroline had said that she was pregnant last time,

If there was no accident, Caroline surely had been pregnant for three months, that was, she surely couldn't wear high heels.

And Caroline's figure wouldn't be so slender.
