Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Stealing One's Partner

The victim Involved could say nothing as Patricia had offered the sincerest of apologies.

Charles then said, "We're all friends here, so this is considered over. The feast is ready, so let's go down to have dinner."

Everyone silently agreed to move past this and stood up

Patricia didn't look at anyone and left alone. However, she wasn't heading to the feast.

Emelie was concerned and wanted to follow Patricia, but William grabbed her hand. "Where are you going? Did you miss me after not seeing me for a whole attemoon?

Those who didn't know the truth herween them would think that he was flirting with her if they heard it

However, Emelie wasn't bold enough to assume that. She simply thought that she must have somehow offended him after opening her mouth suddenly just now and he was thinking of ways to teach her a lesson.

He and Charles were business partners but she helped Patricia, implying that charles's cousin was trying to steal her partner. And unlike Patricia, she didn't apologize to Charles and Elena Charles was to take this against him, it would affect his interests,

william hated it when women brought him necessary problems.

She did well conceming this in the past three years. That was why she chose not to tell him even about the abortion.

Emelie said in a gentler tone, "Mr. Middleton, I'm going to look after Patricia She drank a lot."

"She can drick as well as you." A glass of whiskey wouldn't be enough to take her down.

But they were cousins afterall, and William did have some concem. He let her go and said, "Come look for me after you send her back to her room,"

Emellenodded before chasing after Patricia by heading to the direction she lett

The people inside the room had almost left and Will was also heading downstairs, only to see Elena still standing them

It was as if Eleta was waiting for him to look her way. She then said, "It seems that Emelle has misunderstood

Willan paused slightly and asked, "heard that you met each other in the afternoon at the hot springpool." relationship. Should I explain it to her?

Elena was slightly calaback and said, "We did have a small chat, but I didn't mention anything about us in highschool"

William then asked nonchalantly, "Which part of highschool?"

Elena pursed her lips a little when she opened her mouth to speak again, she no longer kept her distance by calling him "Mr. Middleton" anymore. "Willam, I'm getting it. I wanted to split up all those years ago on impulse. I still like you. The reason I came back this time is because of you." William betened before giving her a sneer."So, she didn't misunderstand anything."

She didn't

understand that Elena wanted to steal her partner away.

Elena cook another step forward and grabbed William's sleeve, her voice gentle and tempting like a drizzle at the beginning of Spring.

Then Will you allow me?

Emele went downstairs and saw Patricia sting on the steps right outside of Saly's Hovel. It seemed like the alcohol had gotten to her and that she was feeling unwell as she buried her head between her knees.

When Emelie saw her shuddering in the cold wind, she sighed and removed her jacket. She walked over and put it on her.

Patrick suddenly raised her head

In that instant, there was joy in her eyes

But when she saw that it was Ene, the light dimmed.

Emelie know. "You thought was Bryan?"

There was since

Patricia gave a bitter smile. "I'm lying to myself He didn't even say a word to me just now, so he naturally would "tcome after me, right?

Emelie couldn'tofter her any words of consolation, so she simply sat next to her and accompanied her.

In melle's memories, Patricia wasn't someone that would tell others about her feelings. But she wasn't sure if it was because of the alcohol or because of the strong emotion was having, she started blunting ou in murmus fog.

"Bren and was the one who mistook him for someone else right from the very beginning"

Emelie wasn't sure she understood it correctly. "Mistook him for someone else?

How did that happen?

Patricia lowered her head and started rummaging through her purse and took out a pack of cigarettes for women and a lighter, asking her if she minded

Emelie shook her head. "Go ahead."

There was a flashoffice and light, and a pal of smoke came out from Patricia's mouth.

"I'm not actually called Patricia May. My real family name is Wade. My names Patrice Wade."

"The Wides and the Swansons he been cooperating for a long time, and they have both wanted to strengthen this relationship through insanlage for a long time. As the only daughter in the Wade family, I'm destined to carry our this day.

son of the Swanson family. That day, I thought dut

*When I graduated from university and came back from overseas, my family held a party for me to get to know the youngest son of the 5 fryn was the son any family had Intended for me to marry." Chapter 180 Romeo and Juliet

The Wades were based in Eprand

And the older generation in Eprand all led to invite a theater company to perform, regardless of whether it was for a celebration or for mourning -

When a scene was completed and they needed to change sels, a green screen would be pulled up on stage.

When Patricia was younger, she liked to climb up the stage and pull up the screen to quietly peek at how the production crew was setting up the stage and how the cast would put their makeup.

Twm when she was older, she didn't change her bad habit and still led her younger relatives to climb up to the stage.

of her younger relatives had asked, "What's the next scene?

Patricia was also quite curious when she saw the staff setting up a scene with walls and coods. She was still investigating it when she heard her parents' bughter coming from

"There she is! she still likes to peek at the theater companyjust like when she wasntle come down here, Patric. How many times do I have to tell you that it's impolite to peek at the actors putting on their makeup?

"Besides, you're much older now too, Aren't you embarrassed to still be playing around with your younger relatives?

"tapologize that you had to see her like this."

Patricia understood. This had to be herance

Shesuddenly wanted to poll open the screen and take a look

At this time, the rambling sound of the drams started to play from behind the stage. The next scene was ready, and the screen in front of her was slowly pulled open as the drifting. background music started to become more promment.

The young man who was standing next to her parents looked over

Just like how the groom raised up the veil of the bride during their wedding day, a pair of eyes on stage locked onto another pair of eyes off stage.

That was how Patricia and Bryan met for the first time.

Patricia smiled with tears in her eyes. "The theater company was performing Romeo and Juliet. When Romeo first saw Juliet at the dance hall, he fell for her at first sight'

When it came to Bryan, it had been love at first sight for her.

Only after her parents" official introduction did she replace out that he was not the son that she was supposed to get married to. The Swanson family had five children, and three of

them were som

The son that she was supposed to my was unhappy with this marriage, so he had refused to come to the party. Hm older brother had gone there to explain the situation and to apologize.

But no one had expected Patricia to fall in love at first sight with Bryan and not want anyone else.

Emelie could never have guessed that they had started out like that

Sheknew that in their social circle, usually, if the groom couldn't join the party and someone from his family had to apologize on his behalf, everyone knew that there would be a marriage between them. This was because they were worried for the bride and her family, that they would become the tople of gossip by outsiders.

Why didn't the groom come? Was it because their relationship had worsened?

Emelie then asked, "What happened next? How did things become like this?"

How did Patrice Wade become Patricia May?

How did the treasured daughter of the Wade family become Weston's famous Socialite Queen?

How did the flancer of Bryan's younger brother become beyan's unrecognized lover?

Patricia took another puff of her cigarette and her eyes looked down. She looked dejected as she was surrounded by the smoke.

"At the time, he had work in prand and stayed in my home for a few days but I couldn't stop myself from flirting with him. The more flirted with him, the more liked him and the more liked him, the more I felt that he was the man wanted.

"I refused but kept on pestering him. When he was in his moment of weakness, I seized the opportunity"

After a chaticevening, everything had gone off the rails since then.

"Alter that, I kept on thinking that maybe it was all lampshaded. In R and Juliet, the two of them had to elope. In the end, Bryan and 1 eloped."

But to be more precise, she had chased after Bryan from Eprand to Capebatt Cry, unwaveringly and unrepentantly.

Her parents had cursed her. Despite being engaged with the younger brother, she had seduced Bryan instead. if news of this were to spread, the Wade family's reputation would be

Patricia had them told them to forget about her and pretend as if their daughter had never existed in the family.

She changed her name from Patrice Wade to Patricia May and would never mention her identity to anyone. That was how she ended up with Bryan.

She was originally someone so high and mighty in the end, she fell so far from grace that anyone could trample her however they like.

Emelie had no words as she simply cometed the wrong understanding in her heart...

When Bryan said that "the Swanson family can't bear the humiliation", he didn't mean how lining they were for each other.

It was because the Swanson family couldn't accept the scandal of how their older son married the fiancee of their younger son.

Patrol sided her cigarette and let out a quiet smile. "I know I deserve this. Everything that happened so far is a result of my own actions, I don't deserve any sympathy.

"I'm blinded by love and even my friends scolded me many times. There are plenty of men in this world. Why must obsess over Bryan
