Unexpected Fiancée

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 it you? 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 people talking nonsense, don't want to embarrass you."

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

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

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

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

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 him dislike 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 the steering wheel, his facial lines tense, eyebrows slightly furrowed, thin lips pressed tight. His handsome face carried a faint sense of detachment, 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 find you a new place." Patrick stopped the car, frowning.

Candice was overjoyed to hear this. It seemed Patrick still cared about her. She hid her emotions and said obediently, "No need, Paddy, I'm fine 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, almost imperceptibly, 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. Good night."

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

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

The gossip magazine photos were taken in the East Garden.

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

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

Osborn's apartment was lit.

Jane should be in there now, right?

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

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

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 unexpected guest.

Patrick, with a grim expression, spoke, “Is the online report true? Are you 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 come and see me!"

He wanted her to tell him the answer herself!

Tensions rose.

Osborn met Patrick's furious gaze and coldly replied, "Patrick, what right do you have to see her? You already have Candy; why bother with Jane? 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 aside and walked in.

"Jane, come out!" Patrick, with a stern face, searched around but didn't find 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 to call 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 find Jane, Patrick left in frustration.

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

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

“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 this heavy 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 the mountains!"

"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 voice carried a hint of trembling anxiety. "She went towards Mont Brush." “This is bad.” The men exchanged worried glances. The avalanche occurred right in that area.

Everyone knew that encountering an avalanche in the mountains was extremely dangerous.

Nana's heart hung tightly.

Jane was in danger!
