Unexpected Fiancée
Chapter 135: Deep Down, You Care About Him

Chapter 135: Deep Down, You Care About Him"Annie, what happened to you?" Florence pretended to ask withconcer.

Annie felt a bit embarrassed, pulled her dress but couldn't coveranything, so she awkwardly smiled, "Just tripped.”

"Oh, I see.” Florence didn't reveal anything, kindly suggested, "Why notcome to my room? I have some ointment. Those bruises from the fallmight leave scars if not treated properly.”

“Thank you, Miss Doyle." Annie nodded. She had been tormented byJoseph and felt like she had been through a beating, so restingsounded good.

Florence led Annie into her room and brought out ointment for her."Thanks." Annie felt a hint of gratitude.

"How are things between you and Bruce?" Florence knowingly asked.At the mention of Bruce, Annie's gaze dimmed instantly.

"We broke up." Annie's tone carried a mix of sadness and reluctance."Why did you break up? Just because of what happened at thebanquet?" Florence casually brought it up.

Annie bit her lip, “It's all because of Jane! Everything is because ofJane!"

The glass of red wine at the banquet was clearly meant for Jane, butshe pretended to drink it, fooled Annie, and made her embarrassherself in front of everyone!

If not for Jane, how could Bruce possibly want to break up with her?How could she have fallen to the point of having to sleep with Josephfor roles?

Florence pretended to have an epiphany, "So, it was all Jane's doing.”"Yes, it was her!" Annie gritted her teeth in hatred whenever Jane wasmentioned.

"What's so special about Jane? Besides seducing men, what else canshe do?" Florence squinted, "Actually, if you want Bruce to change hismind, it's quite simple.”

"Miss Doyle, do you have a way to make Bruce change his mind?"Annie urgently asked.

As long as she could make Bruce change his mind, she was willing todo anything!

Florence smiled and said, "Bruce breaking up with you is probablyJane's doing. If we can make Bruce see Jane's true colors and makeher admit that she framed you, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Jane would never admit it!" Annie said indignantly.

Florence took a step forward, whispered something in Annie's ear, andAnnie smiled, "This time, I'll make sure Jane has no place to hide!"Late at night.

Jane lay in bed, unable to sleep.

In her mind, Patrick's affectionate words on the Ferris wheel and thename he blurted out in the heat of the moment in his room, "Candy,"alternated. Her heart was in chaos, like a tangled mess that shecouldn't unravel.

Suddenly, Jane sat up and called Nana, "Come with me to the bar for adrink!"

Nana, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by Jane's call andanswered somewhat speechlessly, "Sis, do you know what time it is?It's the middle of the night. What's wrong with you?"

Jane gloomily said, "Just not in a good mood."

Nana woke up, concerned, "What happened?"

“Let's talk when we meet." Jane replied flatly.

Nana got up, grabbed her car keys, and said, "Send me your hoteladdress; I'll come pick you up.”

Jane changed her clothes, walked out of the room, and waited for Nanaat the hotel's lobby.

Annie, coming out of Florence's room and preparing to leave, saw Janestanding at the hotel's entrance.

She quickly hid in a corner.

Just now, Florence mentioned that Jane and Patrick were also stayingat this hotel.

So late, why is Jane standing alone at the entrance?

Annie stared at Jane with resentment. Could it be that she was secretlymeeting Patrick or some other man in the middle of the night?

At that moment, Nana's car pulled up right next to Jane. She rolleddown the window, "Jane, get in!"

Jane opened the car door and took the front passenger seat.

Annie only saw Jane getting into a white Maserati but couldn't see whowas inside.

By instinct, Jane must be sneaking off to have an affair with a man.Annie quickly hailed a taxi, "Follow the car in front."

Nana glanced at Jane beside her, "What's up with you? Did Patrickupset Miss North again?"

"Don’t mention him!" Jane's face turned somewhat unpleasant at themention of Patrick's name.

Nana chuckled; it seemed like she guessed right again.

Besides Patrick, who else could make Jane so angry?

Nana took Jane to the bar, found a corner to sit, and poured her a glassof red wine. "Miss North, spill it. What did Patrick do to make you angryagain?"

Jane raised her glass, drank it all in one go, "I don't even know how tosay it."

"Hmm?" Nana was puzzled.

Jane poured herself another glass of wine, gently swirled it, “InPatrick's heart, there has always been a girl he loves.”

Jane briefly explained the situation between Patrick and Candy toNana.

Nana nodded, "So, you think Patrick sees you as a replacement forCandy?"

“Isn't that the case?" Jane frowned slightly, burdened by her thoughts.“I don't think so." Nana said in a deep voice, "Since Patrick is pursuingyou, why bother with all these complications?"

"I have standards, especially when it comes to relationships.” Jane saidlightly, "I absolutely won't allow my future partner to have unresolvedfeelings for someone else."

"Fine... What about Osborn? He's devoted to you, but you don't seeminterested in him?" Nana disdainfully curled her lips, "What if Osbornhas unresolved feelings for someone else? Would you mind then?"Jane, who cared so much that Patrick once loved another girl, didn't itmean she cared about him?

"Osborn?" Jane hesitated, "We're just friends. What does it matter if hehas unresolved feelings?"

"Oh, that's right.” Nana pointed out incisively, "Jane, you've actuallyfallen for Patrick. Why else would you care so much about this Candy?""Is that so?" Jane rubbed her temples with some annoyance, "Can youstop bringing him up?"

Seeing Jane looking so troubled by her emotions, Nana chuckled softly,changed the subject, and asked, "How about attending the charityauction tomorrow night? As the big boss, you should go, right?"

“I'l go." Jane nodded.

The charity auction tomorrow night was sponsored by Leo Studios, andJane had initially not planned to attend. However, now she suddenlywanted to go and take a look.

Annie, following in a taxi, blocked her face with the brim of her hat,searching for Jane's figure.

If she could catch Jane in the act with another man, that would bethrilling.

Jane had made her suffer so much; she must repay Jane athousandfold!
