Now that as I recalled, I was in a good state now.
I put my past and behind and got reborn.
I was no longer someone who could only be humble. Now, I had Glenn and a master. And I was skilled and capable.
I shouldn't have buried myself in the past.
Right?
Ignoring my words, Patrick said to Jeremy on the side, "Jeremy, go get all the things Uncle Shelton wants and give them all to him."
"But..."
"Go!"Patrick ordered!
Although Jeremy was very reluctant, he did as Patrick said.
On the side, Roger was anxious, saying, "No! You can't give them to him." He said to Patrick, "Brother, you have been working hard so many years before getting these things. If you give all of them to him, you will lose everything!"
"Go downstairs and wait for me there." Patrick drove Roger away.
But Roger refused to leave, saying, "I won't go. I'm telling you, with me standing here today, if you dare to give your things to him, beat me to death first!"
"Bang!" As a result, before Roger could finish his words, Patrick raised his arm and punched him in the face!
Roger's beautiful almond-shaped eyes got bruised right away.
For a moment, Roger was stunned.
He didn't expect Patrick to really hit him.
Looking indifferent, Patrick looked up at Roger, "Do you want to be beaten again?"
Covering his face with his hands, Roger didn't have the intention to give in at all. Standing on the side, he said, "Beat me up! Beat me to death!"
I couldn't stand such a scene anymore. Holding Shelton's arm, I curled up the corner of my lips slightly and asked him with an innocent look on my face, "What do you want? Me or the so-called team?"
Looking down at me and stroking my head with his hands, he smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I want you."
"Let's go then."
I said.
Luckily, Shelton chose me.
I considered myself lucky.
I was so afraid back then that he would say that he chose Patrick's things.
As we were about to go outside, Patrick blocked the entrance of the office directly, saying coldly, "Uncle Shelton, you have been working so hard for so many years. You want to raise to the top of Towering High, right? Now I'll give you what you want. And I will give you everything. Could it be that you are going to let your efforts over the years all come to nothing?"
Shelton didn't wear glasses today.
He looked sharp and sinister.
He looked at Patrick and smiled, "What I want is not Towering High but what you care about the most. Now your choice has told me what matters the most to me."
Hearing Shelton's words, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
It was so cruel of Shelton to say such words
The reason why Shelton chose me wasn't because of his feelings for me but because Patrick cared about me the most.
By comparison, I seemed to have made a ridiculous choice.
Lowering my head, I dared not let Patrick see my despondent look.
Tugging at Shelton, I said, "Let's go. I'm tired."
"Okay." Shelton smiled, planning to take me away.
At this time, Jeremy had brought things over. I heard him say to Patrick, "Mr. Cowell, the things you want are here."
Taking over the things, Patrick said to Shelton, "Here are all the things you want, including the equity transfer agreement. I have signed it."
"Oh?" Shelton was surprised, asking, "Patrick, it seems that you have known that such things will happen?"
"Of course." Patrick added, "Bring the child here. Then everything here is yours."
Shelton smiled and touched my head with his hands. Stroking my somewhat messy hair, he said, "I'm sorry, Patrick. Now, I feel that Janetta means so much to me as well. All of a sudden, I don't want these things of yours anymore."
Standing there, I felt like I was a lifeless chip.
