Chapter 9 There Is a Murder

Penulis: Winnie00
"Mr. Cowell, it is you who are fooling me, okay?" I took the agreement in front of me in my hand and stood up without showing any sign of weakness. Then I pointed at the clause.

After that, I threw the agreement onto Patrick and turned to leave.

I dared not look back.

I am afraid that if I stayed here for one more second, I couldn't pretend any longer and I would show my embarrassment in front of him.

I walked quickly all the way to the gate of the residential quarter. Looking at the luxurious gate behind me and thinking back on my naive thoughts before, I found myself sad as well as ridiculous.

Patrick Cowell was the boss of the Towering High Group, who surely wouldn't fall in love with a woman after a one-night stand.

He wouldn't do so even if I shared the same face as the girl he liked.

(To be continued)

I moved into Lisa's house and started my life again.

After I graduated from college, I, who majored in interior design, found an internship in a sort of good company in my senior year. After graduation, I could have become a regular employee there. However, the Archer Family told me that the Cowell Family was a grand family, who surely wouldn't want their daughter-in-law to appear in public.

So I resigned stupidly.

Now I had to start all over again.

Fortunately, the leader of the company where I had once interned immediately agreed to let me go back to work after knowing my situation.

My salary and relative benefits remained unchanged.

People like us who were engaged in interior design often had to go to the construction site. Moreover, it was common to work overtime. And we didn't even enjoy the weekend off.

A week later, that day, I worked overtime to 11 p.m. Assuming that there was a bag of instant noodles at home. I planned that I would go to sleep after eating the noodle.

Lisa's house was an old one. The lights in the corridor had long been broken. I put up with the darkness and went upstairs, only to see a flash of light emitting from the mobile phone in front of my door. My first reaction was that Lisa did not bring a key when she came back.

I couldn't help but tease, "Lisa, I have been living here with you for half a month. I am quite surprised that it's the first time that you've forgotten to bring a key."

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized that something wrong.

Before I could take a closer look, the visitor put the phone in her pocket and said, "Charlotte Archer, you b*tch. What did you say to Patrick?"

Only then did I realize that it was Caroline.

"What did I say?" I was so hungry that I couldn't remember what I had said for a while.

"Did you tell him that I was not well-behaved in my private life? Someone told me that he was investigating my past!" She said as she went downstairs and walked in front of me.

After this reminder, I remembered that I had been drunk that day and told Patrick about Caroline's crappy past.

It turned out that although Patrick didn't believe what I had said on the surface, he was actually looking into Caroline behind her back.

Knowing this made my mood a little better. I replied, "What does it have to do with me? After all, the Cowell Family is a rich and powerful family. Is there any problem for them to investigate the wife of their heir?"

The corridor was very dark. And I couldn't see Caroline's expression. She was silent for several seconds.

I thought she had given up. So I said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go."

However, just as I was about to turn away, she grabbed my arm and laughed strangely, "Charlotte Archer, do you think you can take up my position in this way? I just want to tell you that you are simply daydreaming!"

Then, she suddenly let go of my arm and took two steps back as she shouted, "No, no! Help!"

Then there was a loud noise in the dark corridor, which was the sound of someone rolling down the stairs!

After that, there was a dead silence.

I was stunned. I didn't expect that Caroline would do such a cruel thing to herself.

She rolled to the third floor. Because the voice was too loud, the male owner of the house on the third floor opened the door with his wife hiding behind.

When the lights in the room came out, I could see Caroline lying on the ground motionlessly.

"Ah! Is there a murder?" The hostess shouted when she saw such a scene.

Although I was angry, I dared not to delay and immediately dialed 911.

  • Substitute Bride,Substitute Love   Chapter 517 Side Story—Happy Reunion

    After the wedding, our honeymoon plan was postponed because Rosalie was too young and Patrick's legs had not yet fully recovered. I had been resting at home all along. Sometimes I would talk to Nancy about my work. It was March with spring blossoms when Rosalie was 100 days old. Early in the morning, Patrick went out as usual, and I saw him off at the door. He held my face, kissed my forehead gently, and said softly, "Pack your daily necessities this morning. We'll go to our new home this afternoon." "New home? Where is it? Why didn't you mention it before?" I was stunned. I hadn't heard anything about the new home from Patrick so far. He looked mysterious and tidied up the messy hair on my face. "You will know when we arrive in the afternoon." After that, without waiting for me to ask more questions, he glanced at his watch and hurried out. "A new home?" I thought about it carefully. After getting married to Patrick, I

    Patrick and I held a wedding when Rosalie was 100 days old. Although he wanted to hold a grand banquet, I refused to do so. Mostly, I was too old to care about the formalities anymore. But I understood that it was Patrick's heart for me, and I did not refuse to hold the wedding. We just needed to call some good friends and have a Simple banquet. Patrick couldn't convince me, so he naturally agreed. In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day. Shirley sent me the wedding dress. Because it was a mini wedding, only seven or eight tables were available. Most of the guests came from my studio and Towering High Company. Everyone was familiar with each other. In order to solve the marriage problem of the older single women in my studio, Nancy and I also made a special effort on the seating row. We specifically put single men and women of marriageable age at one table, expecting them to develop their relationship. Early

Michael Blake was hired as defense counsel in Shelton's case. I went to find Patrick and asked him about the case. He told me Shelton had locked Emily up for a while, but he soon let her go. But after that, Emily asked Shelton for money. Shelton gave her some. After Emily spent all the money, she was desperate and went to the police. She wanted to use this method to force Shelton to give her money. When I heard Patrick's words, I thought that Emily was too naïve. If this were true, then someone might help her. But it was she who exposed the video in the first place, and everyone knew that. She had made the choice. Now everything she said just made it worse. Emily had no money, so she could only find the assigned lawyer to file the lawsuit. In the first

    She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years. She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?" "The operation was successful." Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad. Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good." Then she turned around and was about to leave. Patrick said, "Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you." "I blame myself for being stupid." Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?" She didn't go on but left with her head down. I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?" "Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to

    Patrick's words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Roger's heart. Roger stood there. Although he looked calm, he lost all his momentum. At this moment, the ambulance arrived. Although Dulcie was angry and hard to accept it, she could tell what was more important. She opened the door and let the doctor in. The doctor examined Ned first, and then quickly carried him into the ambulance. Because of the small space in the ambulance, only two people were allowed to accompany Ned. Sheridan and Melissa got in. Once they left, it was just me, Patrick, Dulcie, and Roger left in the room. "I'll ask the driver to drive the car over." Patrick took out his phone and called the driver. Then I supported him to go out. Dulcie and Roger stood there without saying a word. Patrick did not talk to them either. He went out with me and got in the car. We decided to order the servants to take care of Glenn first. We cal

  • Substitute Bride,Substitute Love   Chapter 512 Dulcie, Could It Be That You Think I Sincerely Love You?

    Hearing his words, Sheridan looked gloomy on the side. Patrick held me in his arms, "You seem to care about the affairs of the Cowell Family so much. Each time we have some disputes, you will help us enthusiastically. Now you are making a move on my aunt, aren't you?" "No." After finishing his words, Roger imitated Patrick and held Dulcie in his arms, saying, "Dulcie and I love each other sincerely." ...... I looked gloomy. It wasn't that I didn't believe in December Romance. However, the age gap between them was so large. As Patrick's aunt, Dulcie was quite good-looking. It was just that she, who was old, had encountered too many unpleasant things in the past few years, making her meaner and harsher. As for Roger by her side... From all aspects, every woman lusted for him. He, who wasn't poor, surely could get whatever woman he wanted with ease. Indeed, in every way, there was no way that he would take a fancy to Dulcie.
