CEO’s Mysterious Fiancée By Piper Dunlap Chapter 20
The Cause of the Fire At this time, Amily brought a plate of fruit. “Ms. Lusk, you’ve been busy all morning. How about having some fruit Without waiting for Patricia to say thank you, Amily whispered, “Ms. Lusk, can I have a word with you?” Patricia raised her eyes and looked at Amily. She instantly understood what Amily meant as there was a serv*nt near them. Patricia stood up and said, “Amily, bring the fruit to the garden. I will go there to eat.” “Yes” Amily followed Patricia to a corner of the garden. Seeing that there was nobody else around, Amily said, upset. “Ms. Lusk, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through! If it were in the past, you wouldn’t need to put yourself so low in front of Mr and Mrs. Lusk.” Patricia lowered her curly eyelashes. Although it covered the frustration in her eyes, one could still sense that she was upset. She didn’t want to do that either, but soon, Paige would be superior to her in this family. Now, she still had a chance to catch up. “Ms. Lusk, these are all imported fruits. You have to eat something. You haven’t eaten much in the morning.” Amily showed sympathy for Patricia. “Oh right, Ms. Lusk, I want to tell you something. Now that the Lusk family has not yet told the public about Ms. Paige, in the eyes of the outside world, your engagement with Mr Stowe is still valid.” Patricia’s eyes instantly lit up. Yes, Martin, she still had Martin. What was so good about being the Lusk family’s daughter? As long as she married Martin, the entire world would be hers! “Ms. Lusk, you grew up together with Mr. Martin. Although you two only met a few times, you still have the advantage! Ms. Paige has never met Mr. Martin!” “Amily, you mean?” Patricia could roughly know what Amily meant, but she did not dare to say it. “I know a few people in the Stowe family. They are all working in old Mr. Stowe’s villa. I heard that to force Mr. Martin to show up, Mr Killian refused to eat or take any medicine. He almost died in the hospital.” “What?” Patricia covered her mo*th. She was shocked by the news. “Fortunately, Mr Killian was saved in time! He is now looking forward to seeing you and Mr. Martin. Doesn’t Ms. Lusk have Mr. Martin’s number? Why don’t you take the initiative to invite him?” “But H “Mr. Martin must be very busy running such a big company, but no matter how busy he is, he’s a man! If a beautiful girl like you takes the initiative to call him, he must be tempted. “Even if Mr. Martin is insensitive about relationships and does not want to get married, for the time being, there is no hurry.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Ms. Lusk, you two can get closer and build a stronger bond. As long as you and Mr. Martin have a deep relationship, how can Ms. Paige get in the way? Mr Killian Stowe has always wanted you two to get married. As long as you get his approval, in ! it so easy to be his granddaughter in law~ Patricia ́s desire to become a Stowe was completely ignited, but she still hesitated “Amily, the Lusk family, and the Stowe family have an engagement. You and I know better than anyone else that this engagement belongs to Patge I was adopted.” “But what if Mr. Martin likes you?” Amily said resolutely, “Mr Killian only hopes that Mr Martin can be married and soon bring him a great grandson. Mr. Killian won’t care about who his granddaughter-in-law is. He only cares about who Mr. Martin likes and whto Mr Martin wants to marry!” Patricia was a little persuaded. “Now, the Stowe family does not know the existence of Ms. Paige. Ms. Lusk, make your move now. This is your best chance!” Amily had watched Patricia grow up all these years, and she did not want to see her suffer As long as Patricia could marry Martin, she would not be looked down upon. “Ms. Paige has a noble status. She won’t have to worry about getting a good husband, but you are different! “You don’t have parents or a prominent backer You are the adopted daughter of the Lusk family I don’t know if the Lusk family will still recognize you! “You know in the upper class. It is too difficult for an adopted daughter to marry a man in the first class! “If you don’t marry Mr. Martin, you will be inferior to Ms. Paige for the rest of your life! It will be painful!” Under Amily’s persuasion, Patricia took out her phone and finally found Martin’s Line. She opened the chat bar and saw the messages she sent before They were all messages like “Are you asleep?”, “Are you busy today?”, “Goodnight”, but Martin never replied. The last try was yesterday. She had just returned to America and tried to contact him, but he did not reply. Ms Lusk!” Amily said a lot more, and Patricia finally made up her mind and sent several messages in a row. Mer I heard that Grandpa was hospitalized. Shall we go to the hospital to see him? “When are you free today? Can you pick me up? “If youran 1. I will ask the driver to send me there “I am worried about grandpa Second floor Paige came to the huge balcony and admired the scenery in front of het As she watched, she found that two figures in the distance seemed to be discussing something She couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but she knew that they were Patricia and Amily. Patricia was sitting on a wh*te rattan chair, and Amily was standing on the side with her waist bent, trying to talk Patricia into something. Paige ignored
them. After looking at the scenery for a while, she went inside. Patricia and Amily were in the garden, nervously staring at the mobile phone. Unlike before, Patricia’s mobile phone screen quickly lit up. Patricia’s heart almost jumped out of her chest. She took a closer look and saw that it was from Martin! Martin had replied to her message! Finally! But there were only two words. “No need.” Patricia felt so frustrated. Her hope was broken. Under Amily’s encouragement, Patricia sent a few more messages, saying that she was really worried about Killian, who must need some companion. She was just showing her concern about Killian on behalf of the Lusk family. When lunch was over, Patricia did not receive Martin’s reply. She knew that she might not be able to get an answer. Paige was sitting on the sofa with her mobile phone in her hand. She tapped the screen with her thumb and gave an order. “Help me check the cause of the fire in Sam Clinic on September 10th, 18 years ago.” Bob: “Boss? Are you kidding me? Sam Clinic?” Sam Clinic was a place built at the intersection of three cities. The people there were complicated. So many years had passed, so that place had been long gone. Bob: “Boss, why are you investigating this? Is it related to your background?” Paige: “Yes.” Paige always felt that the fire in that hospital was a little strange. Why would the hospital suddenly have a fire? She heard from her mother that it was a rainy night. If someone accidentally lit something up, the fire would not spread so fast.
