So, with their fight ongoing within the Manly Sutton Restaurant, they were drawing attention to
themselves.And since almost all the patrons knew the two women and the famous Zac, who stood
nearby, all eyes were focused on them.Patricia didn't care about the unwanted attention they were
attracting.
Over the years, Yolanda and her daughter had made her notorious enough, so this little debacle was
nothing she couldn't handle.
It was different for Lyndsy, though.
She had always maintained a noble and elegant image in front of others.
So, this spat she was having with Patricia out in the open must have been humiliating for her.
Lyndsy was rendered speechless seeing Patricia defend herself.
This wasn't the usual Patricia.
Usually, she'd keep quiet when confronted! So, how was she able to argue so confidently now? It
seemed that she'd underestimated her before due to her meekness! Lily was deeply touched but
surprised by Patricia's words and actions.
She hadn't expected that their team leader could be so eloquent that people would want to applaud her
performance.
Zac, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned.
Apparently, he had other thoughts on how this was playing out.
Glaring at Patricia, he said in a reproachful tone, "Patricia, is this how you talk to your sister?"
He was surprised by Patricia's sharp tongue.
Just how much did he not know about her? Zac's retort had only been meant to attract her attention.
‘This damned woman! I've been standing here this whole time, and not once did she pay me any heed!
Why is she only focusing on Lyndsy!’ Zac couldn't tolerate being ignored any longer.
"I thought this wasn't any of your business? !"
Clenching her fingers, Patricia looked straight at him with cold and discerning eyes.
"Zac, have you forgotten that we're now divorced? After that abortion, we have no ties connecting us!
So, you have no right to judge what I want to do or how I act!"
From the moment she'd been forced to have that abortion, she'd lost all feelings of love for Zac.
All she felt now was pure resentment! And regarding what had happened last night...
Yes, she'd had sex with Zac, who had killed her baby.
But if she couldn't forgive herself, how could she think to be kind towards him? Zac pursed his thin lips.
An inexplicable light flashed through his deep eyes.
Zac knew now the baby was his, but it was too late now to say anything.
Fortunately, Patricia's health was not affected by the termination of the fetus, so they could try for
another in the future. Thinking of this, Zac didn't realize that he had already planned on Patricia being
a part of his future.
He chose to ignore their incompatibility that was like fire and ice.
"Patricia!"
At this moment, Lyndsy was still unwilling to give up, especially when she heard the retorts between
Patricia and Zac! ‘Was Patricia pregnant with Zac's child?' She hadn't heard of this before now.
Fortunately, she'd just said that she'd aborted the child! Lyndsy figured she could use this as
ammunition against Patricia.
With a gleam in her eyes, Lyndsy gloated, "My dearest sister, you are aware that you and Zac are now
divorced, aren't you? There's no need to continue badgering him like this! After all, you are a useless
woman who couldn't even protect your own child! So, you do not deserve to remain standing at Zac's
side."
"Zac, take your girlfriend away! Don't let her affect anyone else's lunch.Moreover, hasn't she disgraced
you enough?"
remarked Patricia after hearing what Lyndsy had said.
With brows furrowed, Patricia sneaked a glimpse of Zac, who was just standing by and acting as if
what Lyndsy had just said was of no concern to him.
But before Lyndsy could comment on what Patricia had just said, Zac gave her a silent warning through
his domineering stare.
It was not her place to judge what had happened between Patricia and himself.
Especially when she said that Patricia was too useless to keep the baby.
She was indirectly ridiculing him as well! However, he was more furious at what Patricia had stated.
He didn't expect Patricia to refer to Lyndsy as his girlfriend.
'Why did she want to push me away so badly? Damn it!’
"I don't feel that way!"
said Zac slowly but easily, with a gleam flashing across his sharp eyes.
The sincere look he gave would have fooled anyone else who'd seen it! Patricia's mouth twitched when
she'd heard Zac's words.
She thought to herself, ‘Zac, how can you be so shameless! It's no wonder you and Lyndsy are a
couple.
You're exactly birds of a feather!’Lyndsy, on the other hand, was elated upon hearing Zac's words.
Raising her eyebrows triumphantly, she looked at Patricia happily.
Her thoughts were written all over her face, though.
'Zac is on my side! Let's see how long you can remain arrogant!’ However, Patricia wasn't paying her
any attention.Her focus was fixed on Zac
Curling her lips, she said in contempt, "Shame on you, Zac!"
Hearing what Patricia said, the corners of Zac's mouth twitched, but he quipped, "She is not my
girlfriend.So, it means nothing to me if she loses face here!"
Such heartless words could only come from Zac's lips.
Everyone knew how cold and ruthless Zac could be.
After all, if he could kick his wife, who'd been married to him for three years, out of his house, then one
could expect no mercy for someone who had disgraced him in public.
"Hahaha..."
Patricia burst out in laughter hearing those words, but the mockery hidden in her laughter was obvious.
The newspaper had reported that these two were in love and soon to be engaged.
So, who would believe Zac now when he said that Lyndsy wasn’t his girlfriend? Although this is what
Patricia thought, she didn't bother wasting any energy fighting this down further.
Taking another mouthful of food, she said, "Whether she is your girlfriend or not, the truth is that she
came here with you today.So, please take her away before she further dampens our mood during
lunch.We do have to return to work after this!"
"Are you jealous?"
Zac's eagle-like eyes were fixed on her.
He couldn't help but smile as he asked her this.
The corners of Patricia's mouth twitched, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
‘How did he arrive at this conclusion? How could I be jealous when all I feel for Zac is hatred? Why
would I be jealous of Lyndsy because of him? Didn't he hear how I stressed the words ‘have to work'
on purpose?’ She had stressed those specific words to humiliate Lyndsy before she left.
Otherwise, she would feel wronged.
Lyndsy had already affected her appetite.
How could she let her go like this! "You've misunderstood me.I just don't want to ruin my appetite any
further and delay my work.After all, with Lyndsy around, this food has become tasteless!"
"Why are you still mad at me?"
Zac said indifferently, seeing all of her behavior as being angry at him. In an instant, Patricia was sick
to the stomach.
'Who was mad? I was only stating the truth!"
Lyndsy, who was listening to their exchange, felt a range of emotions.
At first, she'd felt heartbroken when Zac had said she wasn't his girlfriend.
But now, she was left speechless after hearing Patricia's remark.
She knew that Patricia was deliberately trying to humiliate her, and she didn't have anything in her
arsenal to challenge her on this topic.
"Patricia, I'll pick you up after work this afternoon!"
stated Zac in a matter-of-fact tone as he looked Patricia directly in the face.
It came off as an order that no one could refuse.
