"Charlotte." As soon as Shelton got off the car, he was a little surprised to see me.
Thinking that I was waiting for Shelton, the driver drove away after Shelton got out of the car
Shelton saw me and asked, "Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"
"No." I waved my hand, hesitated for a moment, and told him the truth, "The house I used to live was given to me by my grandmother. Before, I sold it to treat my grandmother. But I didn't expect her to die soon. I wanted to buy it back now. But I didn't have the contact number of the buyer..."
Shelton nodded, "I see. I'll keep an eye on it for you. If the one living there comes back, I'll contact you."
"Okay, thank you."
Originally, I was about to leave. Shelton suddenly shouted at me, "Charlotte, Michael told me about your face yesterday."
"Lawyer Michael? Fortunately, he helped me yesterday."
Michael had a good relationship with Shelton.
So it wasn't surprising that he would tell Shelton about this matter.
Shelton looked at me and sighed, "Originally, I wanted you to treat your face there before coming back. Patrick took you back so hurriedly. But it doesn't matter. The technology in this aspect in City Y is also quite advanced. Consider when to do this and contact me at any time. I will take you to see a doctor."
"Well..."
I replied absent-mindedly.
As for this matter, Shelton was a professional. He had a lot of resources. So I naturally believed in him.
However... If Patrick found out about this, he surely would misunderstand us once again.
Shelton misunderstood me, "You don't have to worry about the cost. You're my friend. And I'll make it for free for you."
"How can I do that?"
"It is fine. You just need to contact me." Shelton raised his hand and patted me on the head, "At such a young age, you can't be always worried like this."
"Okay, Uncle."
I smiled slightly.
As we spoke, a black car came out of the underground garage. Originally, I didn't notice it at first. However, out of the corner of my eye, I found that the car seemed to be driving in my direction!
By the time I realized that something was wrong and looked over, the car had turned around and rushed straight in our direction!
It was Patrick Cowell!
I subconsciously wanted to protect Shelton. But Shelton flashed and stood in front of me.
The car's speed wasn't fast. And Patrick didn't intend to hit us. It stopped in front of us soon.
Patrick got off the car and looked at me. And he raised his hand and said, "Come here."
"Patrick."
Shelton protected me.
"Shut up." Patrick stared coldly at Shelton, "Uncle, are you particularly interested in my girlfriend? How come I saw you two as soon as I came out?"
"No, I came here to contact the one who bought my house. I want to buy my former house back." I explained to Patrick, "I just happened to meet him."
"Is that so?"
Patrick looked at me.
"Of course." I walked out of Shelton's protection, "If there's nothing else, then I'll leave first."
I didn't do anything dirty. And there was no need to be fugitive at all.
"No!" Patrick pulled me directly, "Where are you going? I'll send you there."
I knew that I couldn't stop Patrick. So I could only let him pull me and planned to take his car.
Patrick opened the door for me.
As soon as I got in the car, I heard Shelton say, "Patrick, regarding Charlotte's..."
