Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 148: Pansy Group Runs into Trouble "Grandpa..." Jane was a little shy in front of Old North and coquettishly said, "Don't say these things."

"When a man is old enough to marry, a woman is old enough to marry. Why be ashamed?" Old North teased.

"Grandpa, you're still talking!" Jane turned around and patted her face with both hands when she saw the embarrassed look on the woman next to her.

Seeing this, Patrick raised his eyebrows and spoke seriously to Old North. "Grandpa, I will take care of Jane and protect her."

"Not bad. Grandpa didn't misjudge you.” Old North was very satisfied with Patrick.

This was Patrick's first time meeting Old North. The old man had sharp spirits and a strong aura all over him. He didn't look like an old man from the countryside at all.

Patrick suddenly remembered that his grandfather had an old friend named North as well. They used to dominate the business world back then but suddenly retired later on.

Could it be him?

As Patrick pondered this thought, Jane suddenly interrupted his thoughts by speaking up again. "Grandpa, how did you know we were here? Did you receive my distress signal?"

Old North nodded in response.

That day he was fishing by the lake when his sensor suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

Old North's heart sank as he knew that it meant something dangerous happened to his beloved granddaughter!

He knew about Jane's abilities so whoever sent out this distress signal must have been in dire need of help.

The signal was weak but after some effort, he managed to locate it deep within the sea.

He quickly brought people along for rescue mission

Jane's necklace fell into deep sea causing its signal getting weaker over time until finally found by Old north who felt hopeless at times during search operation due its weak signals

After being rescued from danger , Jane asked excitedly," Grandfather , what is happening outside now ?"

The CEO of Pansy Group crashed into sea from plane, his life or death unknown, outside world must be shocked .

Sure enough , Old north narrowed eyes sharply looked towards Patrick "Patrick, Pansy Group has encountered trouble.”

“It was expected," replied Patrick with furrowed brows,

"Grandfather what exactly happened?" asked Jane curiously,

Old north stroked his beard while looking serious ,"After receiving your distress signal, I contacted your grandfather immediately, but..."

"How is my grandfather doing?" The center of Patricks eyebrows twitched twice as he spoke solemnly

After looking at Patrick, Old North said, "Your butler said he's sick and I can't reach him. This has never happened before, but the situation is urgent and I had to come find you guys at sea.”

Upon hearing this, Patrick's handsome face turned unusually cold. Even if his grandfather was sick, there was no way he couldn't be reached.

Something must have happened.

"Patrick, your grandfather will be fine,” Jane held Patrick's hand and comforted him softly. "We'll hurry back together and face whatever trouble Pansy Group is facing.”

"Mm," Patrick uttered a monosyllabic sound indifferently while glancing deeply at Jane with an imperceptible flicker of emotion and deep love in his eyes.

"Captain, please go faster," Jane knew that despite Patrick's calm exterior appearance, he must be very worried and anxious inside. She felt the same way too - her heart yearned to return home quickly.

Old North also shared their worries about his dear friend's safety but was calmer than both Jane and Patrick. He believed that no matter what happened to Pansy Group, Old Pansy could handle it. Moreover, now that he had found Patrick who possessed great abilities himself; as long as he returned home safely even if Pansy Group encountered any problems they could still turn things around for the better.

After sailing on the sea for several days more days finally passed until Jane and Patrick returned to Guavo port where Old North saw them off ashore with a reminder: "I'm going back to Georgia first; take care of yourselves. If you can't handle anything just let me know anytime." "Grandpa North please take care," Jane felt reluctant to part ways with him yet she had more important matters needing her attention now.

As Old North's cruise ship disappeared from view in front of her eyesight she couldn't help feeling slightly teary-eyed.

"Jane when everything here is settled down I'll accompany you to see my grandpa,” said Patrick in a clear voice beside her ear which brought her back from being lost in thought again.

"We should go find your grandpa first,” replied Jane frowning slightly. "No we shouldn't alert anyone unnecessarily,” explained calmly by Patrick who meant not wanting anyone else besides themselves knowing about their arrival or presence yet since something might have caused his grandfather's sudden illness after all — perhaps someone intentionally did it?

And this person was likely the one who tampered with Patrick's plane, wanting to kill him.

“Let's find Morton first,” Patrick said in a low voice.

Jane nodded and handed over the phone Old North had given her to Patrick.

Both her and Patrick's phones had fallen into the sea.

Patrick took the phone and dialed Morton's number.

"Hello, who is this?" Morton's voice came from the other end of the line. “It's me," Patrick said coldly.

"Mr. Pansy?" Morton's voice suddenly became excited. "Are you okay?" "Yes," Patrick replied flatly.

"Boss, it's great that you're okay!" Morton sounded excited and concerned. "We were all worried about you and Miss North. A lot has happened since you disappeared...”

"We'll talk when we meet," Patrick looked around before saying, "I'm at Gulf Port."

“I'll come pick you up right away." Morton said respectfully.

"Don't tell anyone I contacted you." Patrick warned in a low voice.

"l understand.”

Half an hour later, Morton drove to Gulf Port.

"Mr. Pansy, Miss North! It really is you!" When he opened the car door and saw them both, it was like seeing someone from another world. "We'll talk in the car,” Patrick said coldly as he sat with Jane in backseat.

Morton started driving out of port. "Where are we going, boss?"

“To my villa on outskirts of town,"Patrick’s lips slightly lifted.

This villa was gifted by his grandfather long ago; it was very secluded so no one knew about it.

At last they arrived at his villa where he led Jane and Morten into living room. He sat down on sofa crossing his legs exuding an air of calmness even if Mount Tai were pressing down on him, and asked lightly: "What happened to Pansy Group? What happened to my grandfather?”
