It was probably because that I was titled as Mrs. Cowell that her words made I feel sad.
Even if I refused to admit it, the truth was right in front of me.
This piece of land was located in the downtown of City Y where every inch of land worthed a lot. Moreover, it was not far from the office building of Patrick's Towering High Group.
The value of this place was immeasurable.
Since Patrick was willing to buy this land for Caroline, it meant that she was very important to him.
Looking at Caroline, I sneered and said, "My husband is so blessed, who has taken both of us in. Especially you, Caroline, as a mistress, you enjoy this title with great relish."
"You!" Caroline started to get angry. But soon, she calmed down and said, "Don't be proud. You are a woman with a criminal record. I will see how the Cowell Family can tolerate you!"
"Can't they tolerate me? My husband has already concealed the fact that I went to jail
for me. Grandpa Cowell only knows that I went abroad for further study."
As soon as my words came out, Caroline's face turned pale with anger.
It was obvious that she didn't know these things.
The reason why I said so on purpose today was to provoke her into making a scene and exposing the fact that I went to jail.
In this way, I could also get rid of this deformed marriage between me and Patrick.
That night after Caroline left, I received a phone call from Patrick.
"Why did you tell Caroline what I had said to Grandpa?"
As soon as I picked up the call, I heard Patrick's angry roar.
Now, his emotions couldn't affect me at all.
I took the phone a little farther away as I said, "Mr. Cowell, don't you think you're torturing yourself as well while torturing me?"
"You are thinking highly of yourself."
Patrick's disdainful sneer came over the phone.
I went on to say, "Yes. Because we are a legal couple. So you treat me as something that belongs to you. Even if you think I make you sick, you still torture me as well as the ones around me with great effort. It is just because you can't accept the fact that your wife is such a person."
