Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Jane Didn't Like Him

"I don't like your family, and that includes Patrick," Jane's voice, equal parts arrogant and charming, echoed in Patrick's ears.

Jane didn't like him.

Why? What was wrong with him? Patrick furrowed his brow, trying to discern her reasons. He had always been a proud man.

This was the first time he'd felt the sting of being disliked.

He had always been the one with disdain for others, but now he was the one facing it.

Jane, seeing Patrick standing there with a sour expression, inquired, "Patrick, I thought you wanted to stay home. Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

Before Patrick could respond, Melissa chimed in.

"Cousin, you came at just the right time. Look at my face; this is what Jane did to me. She even hit your mom."

Jane was left speechless.

When had she hit Beatrice and Melissa? "I told you not to cause any trouble for her."

Patrick retorted, giving Melissa a stern look that sent shivers down her spine.

Nervously blinking, she looked to Beatrice for support.

"Auntie..."

"Patrick, what's so special about this woman? Why are you so protective of her?" Beatrice asked angrily.

How could her son be so kind to this country girl? She couldn't fathom it.

"I only know Grandpa likes her," Patrick replied.

"And he's not in good health. Do you want to jeopardize his health by angering him?"

"You..."

Beatrice was about to say more but held back. Patrick had used Grandpa as an excuse, which Beatrice couldn't argue against.

"I said I'd leave, but not right away," Jane said, looking at the torn-up check pieces on the floor. "You better keep the fifty million for yourself."

With that, she walked out of the conference room.

"Auntie, look at her attitude! What's wrong with her?"

Melissa exclaimed, stamping her foot in anger. She had hoped that by making Patrick get hurt, she could get Beatrice to drive Jane away, but her plan backfired.

Patrick still protected her!

"Patrick, is your hand alright?" Beatrice asked, gently grabbing his hand.

"It's fine." Patrick withdrew his hand from her grasp.

Beatrice snorted. "I heard you got hurt because of Jane."

"It has nothing to do with her," Patrick said coldly.

"Mom, don't create more problems for Jane."
