Chapter 179: Jane in Danger

The girl sitting in the seat lifted her head and softly spoke, "Paddy?"

It turned out to be Candy, not Jane.

Patrick's deep gaze couldn't hide his disappointment. "Candy, why is ityou? What are you doing so late?"

Candice stood up, her eyes curved, "Paddy, I just joined Pansy Group,don't know anything yet, so I have to study hard. I don't want peopletalking nonsense, don't want to embarrass you."

“It's late; go back and rest." Patrick glanced at Candice, his expressionindifferent.

Candice lowered her eyes, "What about you? Why aren't you goingback? You mistook me for Miss North earlier. Are you still thinking abouther?"

“No, I just thought this was Jane's seat.” Patrick's handsome faceremained calm.

"I see." Candice picked up her water glass and took a sip. “I saw onlinethat Jane and Osborn are living together. Paddy, stop thinking abouther."

Patrick furrowed his brows, "Candy, I'll drive you back.”

Seeing Patrick avoiding the topic, Candice wisely stayed silent.

Her current task was to blacken Jane in front of Patrick, make himdislike Jane.

One day, Patrick would fall in love with her.

After all, she was the person Patrick had been looking for all along.She had the confidence that there was nothing she couldn't get!Patrick drove silently.

Candice sneaked a glance at him. Patrick's hands tightly gripped thesteering wheel, his facial lines tense, eyebrows slightly furrowed, thinlips pressed tight. His handsome face carried a faint sense ofdetachment, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Candice's heart sank.

Why did Patrick always maintain a distance deliberately in front of her?Clearly, she should be the one he cared about the most!

"Paddy, it's just ahead,” Candice pointed to where she lived.

It was an old neighborhood, and the surroundings were run-down."Candy, tomorrow I'll have someone replace you a new place." Patrickstopped the car, frowning.

Candice was overjoyed to hear this. It seemed Patrick still cared abouther. She hid her emotions and said obediently, "No need, Paddy, I'mfine here."

Patrick didn't say anything more, just opened the car door and got out.The lamplight shone on him, as if coating him in a golden layer all over,noble, elegant, irresistibly captivating.

Watching this outstanding man in front of her, Candice's eyes, almostimperceptibly, showed a trace of infatuation.

"Paddy, come up and sit for a while," Candice pursed her lips,extending an invitation.

“No, it's late; you go to bed early." Patrick said expressionlessly.Rejected by Patrick, Candice clenched her fingers at her side secretly.Though disappointed, she still wore a bright smile on her face. "Well,Paddy, you go back and rest. Thank you for driving me home. Goodnight."

Watching Candice go upstairs, Patrick returned to the car, turned thecar around, and left.

Instead of going back to Water Moon New City, he headed to the EastGarden.

The gossip magazine photos were taken in the East Garden.

And Patrick knew that Osborn had bought an apartment here on theeighteenth floor.

He parked the car downstairs and looked up at the windows on theeighteenth floor.

Osborn's apartment was lit.

Jane should be in there now, right?

Patrick sat in the car, lit a cigarette, his handsome face appearingparticularly cold in the swirling smoke.

Ten minutes later, he extinguished the cigarette fiercely, opened the cardoor, stepped out, and headed straight to the eighteenth floor in theelevator.

Ringing the doorbell, Osborn opened the door.

The moment Patrick saw Osborn, his face darkened.

So, Jane was indeed living with Osborn?

"Patrick, what are you doing here?" Osborn frowned at the unexpectedguest.

Patrick, with a grim expression, spoke, “Is the online report true? Areyou living with Jane?"

"That's none of your business,” Osborn retorted with a cold snort.Patrick grabbed Osborn's shirt forcefully, "Where is Jane? Let her comeand see me!"

He wanted her to tell him the answer herself!

Tensions rose.

Osborn met Patrick's furious gaze and coldly replied, "Patrick, whatright do you have to see her? You already have Candy; why bother withJane? Don't forget, your engagement with Jane has been canceled.Even if everything online is true, what does it matter to you?"

Patrick's response was a direct punch.

Osborn staggered, and Patrick took the opportunity to push him asideand walked in.

"Jane, come out!" Patrick, with a stern face, searched around but didn'treplace Jane.

Osborn wiped the blood from his lip and, with a cold look, said, "Mr.Pansy, trespassing into a private residence. Are you trying to get me tocall the police?"

Patrick, his handsome face cold as ice, asked again, "Where is Jane?!""She's not here." Osborn, not mincing words, issued him a dismissal."Patrick, please leave!"

Failing to replace Jane, Patrick left in frustration.

Upon reflection, if Jane wasn't there, did it mean they weren't actuallyliving together?

Early the next morning, Nana, worried about Jane, got up before dawn."Miss Nana, it's so early," Megan yawned and headed toward thekitchen. "I'll make breakfast. You can go back to sleep; it's still veryearly.”

“I won't sleep anymore.” Nana shook her head, opened the front door,and the snowflakes from the heavy snowfall drifted in.

“It snowed heavily last night." Nana glanced towards the mountains,expressing her concern, "I wonder if Jane found Dr. Newton."

If everything went smoothly, Jane should be back today, but with thisheavy snow... Nana was very worried.

Just as Megan was about to speak, a few men hurriedly ran over,looking tense. "Something's wrong! There's an avalanche in themountains!"

"What?!" Nana's head buzzed, instinctively asking, "Avalanche?"

"Yes! Megan, no one from your house went into the mountains, right?"one of the men asked. They were notifying every household.

"My friend went into the mountains yesterday afternoon!" Nana's voicecarried a hint of trembling anxiety. "She went towards Mont Brush."“This is bad.” The men exchanged worried glances. The avalancheoccurred right in that area.

Everyone knew that encountering an avalanche in the mountains wasextremely dangerous.

Nana's heart hung tightly.

Jane was in danger!
