The Other "I Do" Chapter 11
Just before I was about to leave, I received an unexpected phone call."Mr. Ranch?""Patrick, no need to be so formal. Just call me Richard." Richard's voice had lost the sharp edge it once carried.I glanced at Olivia and replied flatly, "We're not that close. 'Mr. Ranch' is more appropriate and respectful."Hearing my response, Olivia clenched her white dress tightly.Catching her small movement from the corner of my eye, I kept my expression blank and continued calmly, "If you have something to say, Mr. Ranch, just say it directly."A long silence followed on the other end of the line.Then came a heavy sigh."Patrick… if I apologized to you right now, would you be willing to give Olivia another chance?"I started to speak, but he cut me off."Don't rush to say no. Hear me out first."You've been with Olivia for years. I admit I never thought highly of you in the past, but I also never interfered in your relationship. Olivia has been spoiled since she was a child, and I a

I downed the drink in one gulp and quickly changed the subject."Let's talk about something else. Don't make our campus queen uncomfortable."A few people who already knew we had broken up immediately picked up on the awkward vibe. They laughed it off and helped steer the conversation elsewhere.But a few others—guys who had once chased after Olivia and didn't know the full story—kept pushing us to play couple games together.Seeing that I had put down my glass and refused to join, Olivia stepped in to smooth things over."Patrick's had a bit too much to drink tonight. Let's skip the games. We can just talk."Even then, the crowd wouldn't let it go.Under their constant pressure, Olivia eventually walked over to me.Someone in the crowd gave her a playful shove, and she stumbled right into my arms.Instinctively, I jolted upright.But she reacted even faster—wrapping her arms around my neck.Her eyes locked onto mine, silently begging for help.Our classmates erupted into c

I hadn't been keeping up with the Ranch Group's situation, but I still caught the latest news about it on TV.In order to appease the furious Renesas Group, the Ranch Group paid a massive penalty for breach of contract. To cut costs, they were forced to lay off a large number of senior employees.For a while, resentment ran high within the company, and negative press about the Ranch Group spread like a tidal wave.If not for the Ranch family's deep roots, the company might have collapsed entirely during that crisis.I felt nothing about it. Everything that happened was just Olivia reaping what she sowed.Once I had rested enough and decided to pursue further studies abroad, the Renesas Group somehow got hold of my number. A senior executive personally called me, extending an olive branch.I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted.But knowing that joining the Renesas Group might mean crossing paths with Olivia again someday, I ultimately declined the CEO's offer.Instead, I reach

"You asked to see me? Let's get straight to the point," I said."Given that the Ranch Group's stock has taken a sharp nosedive, I assume you're aware of that, Patrick. The reason I invited you here today is simple—I want you to marry my daughter as soon as possible."As soon as he finished speaking, Richard covered his mouth and coughed violently.Though he looked weak, his tone left no room for argument.A caregiver stepped forward and gently patted his back.Olivia tried to move closer, but hesitated. Her eyes instinctively turned to me, silently begging for help.I looked away without a trace and said calmly, "Is this because the Renesas Group is putting pressure on the Ranch Group?"The Renesas Group was the leading corporation that had specifically chosen to work with me—solely because of my abilities.Richard finally managed to stop coughing. "Patrick, you're a smart man."I laughed.At that moment, everything became clear.The Ranch Group was weaker than the Renesas G

Olivia quickly calmed down.She pressed closer, wrapping her arms around my waist. "Patrick, stop being sarcastic. I know I messed up—I really do. I even chased you all the way out here. Can't you see how much I love you?"I looked down at her in silence for a moment.Her love?No. Olivia, the eldest daughter of the Ranch family, had always been someone everyone adored and indulged. It was my constant refusal that had stirred up her desire to win me over. But the moment she succeeded, I would instantly become boring and disposable to her."Your husband is watching you right now. Don't you think you should go comfort him instead? Is it really appropriate to leave your husband looking so brokenhearted?"Olivia suddenly turned her head.Just then, Shawn stepped forward and hugged her."Olivia, don't go with him. Let's go home, okay?"I kept going, my voice sharp as a knife. "Olivia, stop doing things that make me lose respect for you. Once you've made your choice, there's no goin

Once again, I was blocked by Olivia's bodyguards and forced to stop. I turned around and looked at her.Olivia grabbed my arm and spoke in a wounded tone. "Patrick, how could you do this to me? I thought we were on the same page."Just then, Shawn walked over.Seeing us locked in a tug-of-war, he asked cautiously, "Olivia… I don't feel well. Can you stay with me for a bit?"Olivia didn't even glance at him. Instead, she looked at me with eyes full of hope."Patrick, stop being difficult, okay? And don't be mad at me anymore, alright?"The whole room went silent. Everyone around us had their phones out, recording like crazy.Out of whatever little decency I had left, I even gave her a warning. But she acted like she didn't hear a word and still refused to let go.Something inside me snapped.I let out a sneer. "Olivia, I still have some self-respect left—even if you don't. You're the one who dumped me and married someone else. You're the one who let me go and told me to move on
