Chapter 185 Trisha’s matter
There was a hint of mockery in Kristen’s eyes as she said, “You’re the one joking, aren’t you? I was the one who introduced Ethan to his surgery. His life wasn’t in danger from the very beginning, so how could he be seriously ill? What do you think?”
Xenos Wood, who was dressed in a suit, stood up and nodded with a smile. “The doctor who did the surgery for Ethan was introduced by my sister-in-law.”
Mr. Winter was slapped in the face by his words. Of course, the sister-in-law he called was Kristen.
She stumbled and took a step back and couldn’t accept it. She probably didn’t expect that the plot she was proud of would end up backfiring on her.
Kristen looked at Ethan angrily and did not intend to forgive him so easily.
“An engagement party designed to attract me? What if I don’t come? Are you really going to get engaged?”
Kristen felt wronged. She had used all kinds of methods to avoid engagement and almost broke off ties with her family. However, Ethan was in such a hurry to get engaged to other people.
“Of course not, I’m only engaged to you. If you don’t come today, it’s just an ordinary party.”
Ethan’s voice was powerful and resolute, whereas Mr. Winter who stood by his side seemed like a clown.
Kristen raised her eyebrows and glanced at her. She sighed. “I am sorry that you played a show with Ethan.”
As she spoke, she drew closer to her with a bright smile on her face.
“Miss Winter, sorry for troubling you today. As I said before, it’s a pity that you can’t be an actor with such good acting skills. Today, you can make up for your regret.”
Miss Winter shook her head with a wry smile. “I didn’t expect that my plan would fail in the end. Kristen, you won. He’s yours now.”
After saying that, she looked at Ethan reluctantly and raised her glass to everyone, “I’m so sorry for making everyone come here in vain. Take this glass of wine as an apology.”
She finished the cup in one gulp and left suavely, leaving a good impression on many.
Seeing that she had compromised so easily, Kristen was on her guard.
Miss Winter position was too high. In the beginning, she pretended to get close to Ethan to win his favor and to plot behind them back.
If not for her good medical skills, she would have been toyed with by her.
Would she give up so easily? Not necessarily.
Back in the car, Miss Winter angrily smashed her phone against the glass.
Cracks appeared on the glass and the phone was destroyed on the spot.
She took a deep breath, put fingers over her knees, and put her emotions in order. In a gentle voice, she said, “Start the car.”
The car drove away and Kristen, who was in the hotel, turned around and left in anger.
Seeing that there was no place left for him to act, Seth prepared to leave. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure.
He turned around and caught up with it.
Patrick walked out of the room with red-rimmed eyes and bumped into a waiter.
“I’m sorry.”
Patrick did not take it to heart, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he reached out to stop the waiter.
“Miss, it’s not a good habit to take others’ phones without permission.”
The waiter made a tricky turn and got out of control. Then she ran toward the fire passage.
“Halt!”
Patrick roared and hurried to catch up with her.
The waiter hid in the female toilet, inserted a USB flash drive into the phone, reached out to take off the mask on her face, and quickly changed her clothes.
Under the mask was Trisha. Although the mission was canceled, she couldn’t come here in vain. She just wanted to steal Patrick’s phone to see if she could get the information about the Emper Group.
She didn’t expect Patrick to be so sharp. She thought that she was a master thief, but didn’t expect him to find out so soon.
By the time she finished copying the information, Trisha had already put on her makeup.
There was a knock on the toilet door. She had successfully copied the information and hid her clothes in the ceiling that had been pried open beforehand.
Then, there was a charming beauty in the mirror.
She put the USB stick in front of her chest, then swaggered out.
As soon as Patrick approached, he noticed Trisha walking out, and he moved forward vigilantly to size her up. Even though her appearance had changed greatly, her figure hadn’t changed at all.
He grabbed her wrist and asked in a low voice, “Miss, have you ever seen my phone?”
How could this guy be so sharp-eyed?
Trisha drew back her hand with a frown and teased, “Sir, it’s late to strike up a conversation in such an old-fashioned way.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He snatched the bag from her hand. “I’ll know when I see it.”
In addition to cosmetics, there was only one mobile phone in the bag, which was not his.
How could it be? Wasn’t it her?
He looked at her suspiciously and pulled her directly into the bathroom.
She pretended to be shocked, clutching her chest and shouting, “What are you doing? Come help, pervert! Help!”
Patrick locked the door and quickly checked the bathroom. There were neither changed clothes nor mobile phones.
Could it be that he was overthinking?
Right at that moment, someone knocked on the door. “Honey, are you okay?”
This voice…
“Darling, there’s a lecher inside!” Trisha looked at Patrick in fear, opened the toilet door and threw herself into Seth’s arms
When Seth walked in and saw Patrick, he asked warily, “What do you mean?”
“Sorry, it’s a misunderstanding.”
Patrick apologetically glanced at Trisha, evidently having dispelled his doubts.
Trisha didn’t waste any time. She scolded before pulling Seth away.
After entering the elevator, she patted him on the chest and said straightforwardly, “Thank you.”
Seth smiled, “If you want to thank me, you need to marry me.”
Trisha rolled her eyes at him. “I have to go.”
As soon as the elevator door opened, she strode out without hesitation.
In the presidential suite, Kristen crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at the deadlocked Ethan. Pursing her red lips, she took the initiative and said, “Mr. Wharton, you’re amazing. I’ve only been gone for a short while and you’re already holding an engagement.”
Ethan’s face darkened, “Why did you leave without saying goodbye?”
“What do you mean leaving without saying goodbye?”
Kristen turned her head guiltily. She had intended to tell him everything when she came back.
But she had already promised her aunt and aunt would be smart. If she told him her identity now, it would be difficult to fool her aunt.
Kristen slammed the table to make herself look more imposing. “Is this why you’re engaged to someone else?”
Ethan’s face darkened and he didn’t say a word. After a while, he pulled at his tie, picked up Kristen, and carried her into the bedroom.
He was so angry that she was unable to get out of bed.
Late at night, Kristen tried to get a glass of water with her numb hands, but in the end, she gave up because she was too weak.
Ethan was too much of a beast.
After Ethan helped her up, he fed Kristen some warm water and said a few words in a soft voice.
“When I was in a coma, the Collins and Winter families had already spread the news of the engagement. I couldn’t find you everywhere, so I could only use this method.”
Kristen narrowed her eyes comfortably when the warm water entered her mouth, but she didn’t appreciate it. “There are many ways than engagement. What will others think of me if they know that you’re engaged to other people?”
