Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 177

Now, I found that once I got cheeky, I wouldn't be afraid of anything.

I insisted on staying there. Jeremy and Tracy couldn't do anything to me.

The staff of the funeral chamber buried Rosy according to the rituals. I personally put a handful of soil on Rosy's grave and muttered, "Grandma, goodbye."

From then on, I would no longer be a member of the Archer Family.

After the burial, I didn't stay there for one more second and left.

That afternoon, news came out that Archer's Group Group had declared bankruptcy and that its assets were acquired by a mysterious man.

Everyone had different opinions about who the mysterious man was.

But in my opinion, who else could it be other than Patrick?

I even thought that in a few days, Patrick would give Archer's Group to Caroline as a gift to please her.

I waited for about a week. But my expectation

didn't come true.

Over the week, Patrick came to pick me up every day. No matter how hard I tried to refuse, he came to pick me up regardless of the weather conditions. I would go to the construction sites at work sometimes. And I had to report to the company as to wherever I would go to.

Patrick could clearly know my whereabouts.

I couldn't even avoid him.

However, this kind of situation only lasted for a week. On the night of the seventh day, when I came out of a construction site, I didn't see Patrick as usual.

I guessed he probably had given up.

There was clearly some disappointment in my heart. But I felt that it was good that I could be alone now.

I took a bus home.

For some reason, even though Patrick hadn't picked me up, I wasn't overjoyed in my heart.

I wasn't even in the mood to do anything.

When I got home, I ordered a few takeaway, which rarely happened.

"Ding-dong."

When I was waiting for the take-out, sounds indicating a short text on my cell phone rang.

"Could it be a text from Patrick?" That was my first reaction.

When I took out my cell phone, I saw the sender ID of the text was "Patron".

Unexpectedly, there was a faint sense of loss in my heart.

I clicked open the text and saw that the text read, "How have you been recently? Do you encounter any trouble at work? Do you need my help?"

I thought about it for a moment and began to edit a text. Then the doorbell rang.

Thinking that it was my takeout coming, I opened the door as I replied to the text.

When I opened the door and looked up, I saw a man in black standing outside and that he was wearing a cap with a low cap brim.

He didn't have anything in his hand.

At that moment, a bad feeling arose in my heart!

My first reaction was to close the door!

As I was about to close the door, the man suddenly stuck his foot in the crack of the door!

I, who was panic-stricken, didn't think about anything. Neither did I have time to click open my contact list or even call 911. Instead, I directly clicked the patron's phone number on the screen!

Then the waiting sounds rang, indicating that the counterpart hadn't picked up my call.

When I was praying that the counterpart should answer my call quickly, the door was suddenly knocked open!

"Bang!" There was a loud noise.

The wooden door hit my face.

When I felt dizzy, the man in black outside the door came in and covered my mouth with something. And my will was instantly stripped away.

To be continued...

"Clap!"

The crisp sound of the slapping and the pain on my cheek gradually made me regain some consciousness.

I opened my eyes slightly. Before I could recognize the person in front of me, I heard her delicate voice, "Charlotte, get up."

It was Caroline Archer!

I was sobered a lot instantly. And it wasn't until I calmed down that I saw clearly that Caroline was close to me.

She wore short hair and a set of sportswear outfits. And there wasn't any makeup on her face, which rarely happened.

Judging from her appearance, she looked a bit like a man.
