Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 175: Suspected Cohabitation

"What's going on?" Jane was puzzled.

"Take a look. The internet is smearing you again, this time falsely accusing you of cohabiting with Osborn.” Nana handed her phone to Jane, sounding indignant. "These paparazzi have no morals, they write anything.”

Jane glanced at Nana's phone.

The image displayed was of Osborn holding her suitcase, supporting her as she got out of the car that day he brought her here.

It was a shot from that day.

From the angle of the photo, the postures of the two seemed ambiguous.

?Osborn’s new love exposed: Jane, the former fiancée of Pansy Group's CEO, spent a night together, suspected cohabitation. Cohabitation???

These paparazzi really had vivid imaginations; they dare to write anything for the sake of clicks.

"Jane, should I find someone to take down these fabricated news? It's too much!" Nana spoke up, feeling indignant on Jane's behalf.

But Jane, focused on reaching Changbai Mountain, nonchalantly said, “Let's not worry about that right now. Let's hurry and go. Osborn can handle these things."

Nana nodded, heading toward the airport with Jane.

At the entrance of Pansy Group's building.

Watching Jane's cold and distant figure disappear from view, Patrick's narrow eyes slightly squinted, and his thin lips tightened into a line. "Paddy, didn't you say you were taking me to the hospital?"

Candice's words brought Patrick back to the present.

He glanced at Candice and said, "Let's go."

Then, he walked toward the parking lot.

Candice limped behind Patrick, calling out sweetly, "Paddy, don't walk so fast, wait for me."

Patrick paused when he saw Candice's painful expression, reaching out to support her. "Are you okay?"

“I'm fine, just my knee hurts a lot." Candice leaned against Patrick, licking her lips. The softness of her chest brushed against Patrick's strong arm, a move full of seduction.

Patrick, however, remained unresponsive.

Feeling a bit disappointed, Candice bit her lip and said pitifully, "Paddy, does Miss North hate me? I've apologized to her so humbly, but not only did she refuse to forgive me, she also forcefully pushed me..."

At the mention of Jane, Patrick's gaze became somewhat complicated. He loosened his tie impatiently, glanced at Candice, and said, "Candy, get in the car."

Candice got into the car, but Patrick didn't show any intention of getting in.

"Paddy, aren't you coming up?" Candice asked suspiciously.

Patrick curled his lips and explained, "I'll have the driver take you. I have an important meeting at the company.”

After saying that, he took out his phone, made a call, and asked the driver to come over.

Hearing this, Candice tightened her fingers, but a sweet smile appeared on her face. "Okay, Paddy, you go ahead and be busy." "Hmm." Patrick faintly responded and turned to leave.

Watching his tall figure with a hint of indifference disappearing, Candice bit her lip tightly, and her eyes dimmed a bit.

Why was Patrick so indifferent to her?

Just now, when she entered the CEO's office, she clearly saw how passionately Patrick looked at Jane!

Jane... She was a seductive fox!

Candice went to the hospital for a simple bandage and then had the driver take her back to Pansy Group.

Pansy Group's employees recognized Candice as the recent talk of the town, the first love of the company's CEO, so Candice easily entered the Pansy Group building.

CEO's Office

Patrick sat upright in his chair, leaning slightly back against the backrest. His stern gaze was fixed on the phone screen, and his handsome face showed tension.

On the phone screen were pictures of Jane and Osborn together. Their ambiguous posture was glaringly evident.

Below were various comments:

- "I didn't expect Osborn's secret lover to be Jane, Mr. Patrick's recently dumped ex-fiancée. Osborn has really bad taste. Does he like wearing worn-out shoes?"

- "You never know; maybe Jane and Osborn have been secretly involved for a long time. Who's wearing whose worn-out shoes is not certain.”

- "Such a reasonable point. Jane is a fickle woman, and I used to be her fan. Pah, pah, pah!!"

- "I cry injustice for Mr. Patrick, wearing this green hat for so long!" Patrick's well-defined hand firmly gripped the water cup on the table. His gaze moved back to the irritating photo, and he fiercely threw the cup away.

With a loud clang, the cup hit the floor, and shattered glass scattered everywhere.

Candice barged in and witnessed the scene.

The loud noise startled Candice, and her face turned pale. She narrowly avoided being hit by the cup.

A few seconds later, Candice regained her composure and hurried to Patrick's side. "Paddy, what's wrong with you?"

Patrick realized his outburst and casually glanced at Candice. "Candy, why are you here? Didn't I arrange for someone to take you to the hospital?"

"Oh, I've already been to the hospital. The doctor said my knee just scraped a bit, nothing serious." Candice's lips curled into a flirtatious smile. "I was afraid you'd worry, so I came here to tell you."

Patrick, preoccupied, responded flatly, "Good to know."

"By the way, Paddy, why did you get so angry just now? Did something happen?" Candice asked curiously.

"Nothing." Patrick put away his phone, slipping it into his suit pocket. But Candice noticed.

"Paddy, you got so angry because of Jane, didn't you?" Candice's emotions were complicated at the moment.

She was delighted that there were so many negative rumors about Jane online, especially those revelations about her relationship with Osborn. Any normal man would be unable to tolerate it, let alone someone like Patrick, who was high and mighty and couldn't stand even a grain of sand in his eye.

Yet, what worried her was that Patrick could get so angry over Jane. It indicated that he still cared about her.

Thinking about this, a barely noticeable trace of jealousy flashed in Candice's eyes. She cautiously glanced at Patrick and said, "Jane is outrageous. Just a few days after breaking up with you, she shamelessly moves in with Osborn.”

Patrick's expression immediately darkened.

Candice continued to add fuel to the fire. "I read online that Jane had unclear relationships with Osborn before, and she was involved with several other men simultaneously. Paddy, if these rumors are true, I really feel sorry for you."
