Chapter 162: There Will Be No EngagementCeremony Tonight.

Jane's eyes flashed with complexity, carrying a hint of sadness anddetermination as she looked deeply at Patrick before turning andleaving. Her steps were unusually heavy, each one seeming to be astruggle.

Jane walked out of the door in a daze, Nana was walking towards her,panting and saying: "Jane, I've searched over there. I didn't seePatrick..."

"No need to look.” Jane said coldly as she dug her nails deep into herflesh.

The pain from her fingers spread throughout her body but Jane didn'tfeel it because the pain in her heart was thousands of times worse!Seeing that Jane's face was not good-looking, Nana asked withconcern: "Jane, what happened?"

“Nana, let's go!" Jane snapped back to reality and pulled Nana towardsthe road.

The taxi from earlier was still there; the driver had just come back fromusing the restroom. Just as he was about to start driving again, Janeopened the car door and got in before saying sternly: "Go to EmperorHotel."

Emperor Hotel is owned by Pansy Group which is where tonight'sengagement ceremony will be held.

"Jane what happened? Did you replace Patrick?" Seeing that somethingwasn't right with Jane's appearance, Nana asked anxiously.

With an icy expression on her face, Jane nodded while biting down onher lip.

"Where is he? Why isn't he here with you? Did he go directly toEmperor Hotel?"Nana worriedly questioned.

After knowing each other for so long, Nana had never seen their bosslike this before. She must have been through something terrible.Closing her eyes, Jane lifted up a sarcastic smile,"There won't be anyengagement ceremony tonight.”

"What?"Nana exclaimed in shock.

"I decided to break off my engagement with Patrick because his whitemoonlight has returned. He disappeared all day today because hespent it together with Candy.”

"White moonlight? You mean Candy came back? How could thishappen!" Nanas voice filled up disbelief.

She had heard about Candy from Jane before, knowing that Patrickonce loved a girl named Candy. But when she fell off a cliff years ago,everyone thought she had already passed away. Now, on the day whenPatrick and Janes' engagement would take place, Candy suddenlyappeared out of nowhere?

Nana didn't know how to comfort Jane. "Even if Candy comes back,Patrick may not choose her. Jane, don't be like this. You need to talk tohim."

“Patrick's actions have already said it all. Why bother?" Jane squintedher beautiful eyes, with a hint of bitterness in her tone.

"But..." Nana knew her boss's personality well. Jane was a determined,self-respecting and proud woman who made up her mind and no onecould change it.

Nana wanted to say more but Jane interrupted her. "Nana, let me bealone for a while."

Jane leaned back against the seat and the scene of Patrick huggingCandy just now appeared in her mind again and again, unable to driveaway.

Her heart sank bit by bit until it reached the deepest part of the lake.The coldness was so intense that she felt pain she had neverexperienced before.

It was very uncomfortable; painful enough almost suffocating.

But even if it hurt so much, she had to endure it.

At this moment, she must be strong.

Since Candy came back and Patrick chose Candy instead of herself,there was no need for tonight's engagement ceremony anymore

She would rather propose first than wait for Patrick do so later on.Empire Grand Hotel

In the most luxurious banquet hall on the first floor where guestsgathered excitedly,

Today is Pansy Group's head honcho Patrick's grand engagementceremony where all Guavo's bigwigs are present at this grand eventMany reporters also arrived early for fear of missing out on breakingnews at any time.

Everyone is looking forward to this feast except Florence,

She glared hatefully at the stage in front of banquet hall where soonenough Patrick will hold an engagement ceremony with Jane receivingeveryone's blessings.

Why? Why did he choose Jane?

"Florence don't get angry; It's just an engagement party not a wedding."Erica sensed Florence's anger beside him and quickly comforted him.Florence took a deep breath, "You're right - just an engagement party.”"Yeah! We'll replace ways later on how we can get rid of that bitch!" Ericasaid as he looked towards Osborn with his own thoughts runningthrough his head

Jane and Patrick were engaged but would they still pursue Osborn?Time passed by every minute but tonight's main characters -Patrick&Jane- were nowhere in sight yet

Old Pansy was puzzled. He had called Patrick, but his phone was off,and no one answered Jane's phone either.

"Maurice, have someone go look for Patrick,” Old Pansy furrowed hisbrow, feeling a bit uneasy.

He knew his grandson well; Patrick wasn't someone who was alwayslate. Moreover, on such an important day like today, he should havearrived early. Why couldn't he be reached by phone or seen anywhere?"Old Pansy, don't worry. Mr. Patrick might be delayed with something,"Mr. Maurice comforted him.

Just then Beatrice and Melissa walked over in their high heels.

"Dad, what is Patrick up to?" Beatrice looked displeased.

Since the day Winston held a press conference and Beatrice spoke upfor him on behalf of the Pansy family's status plummeted drastically.Patrick simply moved out and hadn't returned home for many daysnow.

Old Pansy gave her a cold glance and said lightly: "He's your own son;why are you asking me?"

Beatrice choked back her words while Melissa sweetly spoke up:"Grandpa, Cousin isn't someone who doesn't know how to weigh thingsproperly; I think he must be rushing over.”

"But Jane t00," she added while smearing black paint on Jane's name:"Why didn't she answer Cousin's call when his phone ran out ofbattery? She has no sense of propriety at all.”

Just as Old Pansy opened his mouth to say something else suddenlythey heard someone shout: "Here comes!"

Everyone turned their gaze towards the door where they saw Janewearing a red dress getting out of the taxi heading towards the banquethall entrance alone.

Seeing Jane from afar finally made Old Pansy breathe a sigh of reliefbut then he realized that something wasn't quite right — where wasPatrick?
