I was overwhelmed by Tyler just now. And my waist hurt. It took me a lot of effort to get up now.
I got up. Through the mirror in front of me, I could see Patrick standing outside a compartment.
Although I saw him at the entrance of the hotel last time, I didn't see his face.
It was the first time that I looked at him in his face ever since I was released from the prison.
He was wearing a black suit, who was almost the same as he had been more than a year ago.
But what about me?
I saw my face through the mirror.
My hair, which was soaked wet by the water, clung to my face. Most of my makeup was ruined. And my clothes were covered with dust that I had got while working in the construction site.
I thought that we would meet again.
But I didn't expect that I would run into him again when I was in such a bad situation.
Patrick looked at me in the mirror as he curled up the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Charlotte Archer, I haven't seen you for such a long time. I didn't expect you to be such a good-for-nothing."
"A good-for-nothing?"
"Hehe."
Originally, I could have a great future. But I, who was innocent, got married on behalf of Caroline Archer. After that, I was framed and thrown into prison. That was why I became like this!
I had a lot of words on my mind and I wanted to refute.
But in the end, I only replied, "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Cowell."
After that, I walked out without looking back.
Patrick did not catch up with me.
Of course, he would not chase me.
After all, in his heart, I was the one who killed his child and harmed Caroline Archer.
I took a shower at home and stood in front of the window, browsing through the news on my cell phone.
However, I didn't find any news related to Patrick's personal affairs.
But I guessed that Caroline and Patrick might have been married and they might even have children.
Even so, it had nothing to do with me.
The next morning, when I went to the hotel, I heard that Tyler was fired.
