Chapter 129: Because of Madeline

Jones clenched his hands on either side of his body, gripping tightly. Hetook a deep breath, his face darkening as he spoke, "Why should Ibother with this boring analysis?"

"What's the matter, scared?" Jane raised an eyebrow. She wasconfident that Jones wouldn't dare to undergo the voiceprint analysis."Heh heh." Jones chuckled dryly, “This so-called recording ismeaningless! It doesn't prove anything."

"Meaningless? If the voice in the recording isn't yours, why not undergothe voiceprint analysis?" Jane spoke with a mocking tone. "Should Iinterpret this as you feeling guilty?"

Faced with Jane's barrage of questions, Jones answered evasively,"Miss North, these are all baseless accusations. As the head of PansyGroup's French factory, why would I do such a thing? What benefitwould I get from tampering with the raw materials? As for planting abomb, it's absurd!"

“Yes, as the head of Pansy Group's French factory, why would you dosuch a thing?" Jane raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes narrowingslightly. “You did it entirely because..."

At the same time, a clear and magnetic male voice sounded from adistance, overlapping with Jane's voice. "You did it entirely because ofMadeline! Because of Love Jewelry!"

Following the voice, Jane looked towards the entrance of theconference hall.

At the sight of the familiar figure, Jane felt an instant relief.

It was Patrick!

Patrick had finally arrived!

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Patrick stepped through theentrance.

His stern features carried a hint of sharpness, and his tall, slenderfigure exuded an air of nobility and aloofness. He seemed like a divinebeing descending from the heavens, eclipsing everyone else.

"Mr. Pansy, Mr. Pansy is here!"

"Wasn't he in a coma? How did he suddenly wake up?"

"My God, it's really Mr. Pansy! He's okay!"

The crowd erupted in excitement, and all eyes were on Patrick.

A few seconds later, some people began to comprehend Patrick'swords.

"Madeline? Love Jewelry? Isn't that the jewelry company involved inthe plagiarism scandal?"

"What's Jones's connection with Love Jewelry?"

"Could this whole thing be related to Love Jewelry?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, everyone looking at Patrick with amix of shock and curiosity.

“In the twists and turns of the “Ice and Fire’ incident, what is the realtruth?"

Under Patrick's formidable presence, the crowd automatically madeway for him. Patrick walked steadily, step by step, to Jane's side.

He turned his head to give Jane a deep look, his voice carrying a touchof huskiness and gentleness. He spoke in a low, deep tone, "Jane, I'mhere."

Jane responded with a faint smile, their understanding unspoken.Meanwhile, Jones looked at Patrick in disbelief.

Wasn't Patrick crushed by the ceiling in the explosion, critically injuredand unconscious?

How could he appear here unscathed at this moment!

"Patrick, how... how did you come here?" Jones, wearing a shockedexpression, asked incredulously, "Aren't you in the hospital,unconscious?"

"What's the matter? Don't you want to see me?" Patrick raised aneyebrow, his gaze icy as he swept it over Jones. "Jones, I've broughtyou an exciting video. Let's enjoy it together, shall we?"

"Video? What video?" Jones's complexion changed rapidly, and thesituation was far from what he had expected.

Unbelievably, Patrick seemed perfectly fine now. There was no sign ofhim being in a life-threatening condition.

In other words... was Patrick faking his previous unconsciousness?!Patrick gestured subtly with his eyes, and Morton immediatelyunderstood. Manipulating the remote control, he played a video on thelarge screen in the conference hall.

The video was set in a luxurious room in a high-end hotel in France.On the central silver bed lay a man and a woman.

The man was undoubtedly Jones, and the woman... was Madeline, thechief designer of Love Jewelry.

The two were tightly entwined. After a passionate moment, Madeline,with a seductive demeanor, spoke, "Darling, do you love me?"

"Of course, I do.” Jones's eyes flickered with intense desire.

"Can you prove your love to me?" Madeline's hands, as soft as watersnakes, encircled Jones's neck.

Jones nodded, "How can I prove it? I'm willing to do anything for you!""Really? Are you willing to do anything for me?" Madeline's eyes weresultry.

"Of course." Jones embraced Madeline. "As long as you're willing tomarry me."

"Good, but you have to agree to my conditions." Madeline's gazeturned cold. "Regarding the plagiarism incident before, you shouldknow, right?"

Jones was momentarily stunned. “You mean “Ice and Fire'?"

Madeline bit her lip. "Exactly! That wretch Jane made me lose face!The career I painstakingly built for years was ruined, all because ofJane and Patrick!"

The thought of falling from grace, from a renowned designer to aplagiarist scorned by everyone, fueled Madeline's anger. If it weren't forJane and Patrick, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation!

She vowed to settle this score, to repay Jane and Patrick athousandfold, making them pay for their actions!

Jones remained silent for a moment and then spoke with determination,"Madeline, my feelings for you are clear. As long as you're willing toswallow your pride, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Madeline's eyes. Through gritted teeth, shesaid, "I want the “Ice and Fire’ project of Jane to fail! I want herreputation shattered, utterly defeated!"

“That's easy." Jones held Madeline tightly. "As long as I make a fewmoves, it will cause fatal problems in the quality of “Ice and Fire." Iguarantee it will meet your satisfaction!"

"Darling, as long as you accomplish this, I promise to marry you!"Madeline nodded in satisfaction and leaned in to kiss Jones. Whatfollowed was an indescribable scene.

Morton quickly picked up the remote and turned off the video.Patrick's cold eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp, icy gaze focuseddirectly on Jones. "Jones, do you have an explanation for this?"
