Chapter 429
Chapter 429
When I came out, I saw Janice standing far away.
I went up to her and asked, "Has Patrick been in a bad mood recently?"
Janice nodded. "His emotion is so unstable. I didn't dare to go into the ward. This morning when he woke up, he crazily smashed things and hit people. None of us dared to go near him. He calmed down a bit later..."
"Then... did you invite a psychologist?"
I asked with concern.
Being like this, I was afraid that Patrick needed psychological guidance.
Janice shook her head and said, "No. I remembered Madam Cowell said that she wanted to invite one. But the doctor's advice is that young master Patrick is in a foul mood and it's not the best time to invite a psychologist now. We'd better wait for a while."
When I heard that, I gave her my number and told her to contact me if anything happened to Patrick.
Then I left.
After I got home and treated my wounds, my mind was full of the conversation between Patrick and
Kelsi just now.
I had been badly slandered once, but everything returned to peace after a press conference.
Now I found this incident passed too easy.
Kelsi should be very clear that I was almost crushed back then. Once she kept pushing a bit more, I probably would give up completely.
But everything came to an abrupt end.
The more I thought about it, the weirder I felt. If Kelsi didn't lie and Patrick did do something, then the media might know.
I took out my phone and tried to call Nancy and get Jerrold through him. When I made the call, I thought of another person.
I immediately hung up the phone and found Loraine's phone number and called her.
The phone rang for about three or four times before someone answered it. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Just when I was about to speak, a man's voice came from the other side of the phone. "Hello?"
This voice was low and attractive. I was stunned for a moment. After making sure that I did not call the wrong number, I said, "Hello, is this Loraine's phone number?"
The man answered, "Yes, she went out to buy something. She didn't bring her phone. You can call her later." "OK, thank you."
I hung up the phone hastily after I finished talking.
After about half an hour, Loraine called back. She apologized to me, "Sorry, I didn't bring my phone when I left home. My husband answered the phone."
"Oh, it's okay." I quickly said politely, "I'm the one who bothered you. I'm calling you so late."
"It's fine." Loraine didn't seem to mind. " What's up?"
I didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Well, I recently heard by chance that after my press conference, there were still some scandals about me, and then they were suppressed by someone, right?"
Hearing this, Loraine did not speak for a few seconds.
I thought she wasn't listening, so I asked, "Are you there?"
"Yes."
Loraine answered immediately.
She seemed a little hesitant. After answering "yes", she hesitated for a while before saying, "Where did you hear about this?"
Sure enough! I thought.
I gripped the phone and said with a little nervousness, "Can you tell me about it?"
"Um... there was a strict order on this. No one is allowed say it." Loraine's voice was clearly filled with a bit of embarrassment.
"A strict order?"
"No one is allowed to say?" I murmured in my mind.
It suddenly occurred to me that Roger had said that Patrick broke the rules for me. And that's why we had been separated last time.
Could it be that this time...
I gripped the phone harder and said, "Can you tell me? Please, I was involved. I have right to know it.
I promise I won't tell anyone!"
I don't want to be kept in the dark anymore.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Of course!"
I said decisively.
On the other side of the phone, Loraine sighed and said, "Then tell me first. Have you been photographed with a video of gang r*pe, right?" When Loraine said this, my body chills stood up.
I had realized what had happened at that time!
I nodded gravely and said, "Yes."
It had been many years since this incident. The person on the video was not me, but Caroline. But now she was dead, and I looked exactly like her. There was no way to prove my innocence!
"Someone took screenshots of the video and gave them to various media companies. And that person asked them to release this news the next day. Seeing that, the media were like crazy. They jotted all the drafts and waited to publish it."
When Loraine said this, I felt a chill on my back.
"And then?" I asked her.
It seemed like Loraine was trying to comfort me. She said, "The picture of this video was not very clear to see and was coded." Then she continued saying, "But later in that night, someone sent an even bigger scandal to suppress yours."
"Is it the scandal about the actress with the surname Z?"
I know this news. I saw it.
But I never thought that this news was used by others to suppress my thing.
"Yes." Loraine said. "Because of the continuing effect of your incident, the media was originally unwilling to give up leaking this information. Thus, someone asked the paparazzi to buy this news at a high price and post it. The actress had just won the award and had been a hot topic. Apparently, she was more newsworthy than you. That's why the media withdraw their drafts."
"Then... do you know what's the background of this actress?"
I didn't want to give up.
I felt that there was something more about this matter.
Hearing this, Loraine revealed a hesitant tone. "I don't know, but I know that this female star has a powerful supporter behind her. Reporting her scandal is the same as offending this supporter."
I understood everything.
For a moment, I suddenly felt that I was so stupid!
How could I think that the previous things were solved by myself?
"After all, I'm just a designer. How can I play tricks with the rich second generation? They have 100 kinds of tricks to deal with me." I thought.
And behind my self- righteousness, Patrick offended people and broke rules for me.
When I was sitting there, I suddenly remembered the mark on the door of Patrick's car...
I thought back to the person who had been interrogated by Patrick in the Aristocratic Family Complex.
He had said that these people who did this kind of dangerous business would leave a mark on the car. Could that one be the same...
My mind was in a mess!
At this moment, my cell phone rang.
I looked at it. It was an unknown number. "It's so late. Who would make a call?"
After hesitating for a while, I still picked up the phone.
As soon as I picked up, a familiar voice came from the other side of the phone. "Janetta, come out and meet me."
I immediately recognized the voice was from Kelsi.
What a coincidence. I also had something to talk to her, so I replied. "Okay, when shall we meet?"
"Right now."
Kelsi answered.
