"Let go of me, Zac."
Patricia pulled hard, hoping to break free from Zac's grip, but she wasn't strong enough.
Zac used this opportunity to shove her into the front passenger seat of his car.
Before Patricia could open the door and exit, Zac had started the car and drove away, leaving her no
change to escape.
"Zac, I have to get off this car!"
Patricia screamed, roughly yanking the door handle with the intention of leaving immediately.
This motion caught Zac's attention.
Staring at her, he angrily gasped and slammed on the brakes.
‘Just how reluctant is she to be with me? If she really doesn't want to be together with me, why did she
willingly kiss me last night?’ This thought caused Zac to slap the steering wheel in his rage.
He then roared at her, "Patricia, what the hell do you want?"
"I want to get off this car!"
Even though she made her intentions clear, she couldn't help but be fearful of Zac's intimidating aura.
Hearing her repeat that sentence annoyed Zac.
Biting his lower lip angrily, he took a deep breath as he tried to rein in his rage.
‘I shouldn't be acting impulsively.I have something important I want to say to her today!’
"I have something to tell you."
Patricia became confused when Zac suddenly changed the topic.
Sensing the seriousness of Zac's demeanor made her frown.
"Okay, you have my attention."
Patricia calmed down and looked at Zac nonchalantly as she tried to figure out whether he was telling
her the truth.
"I..." Zac didn't know where to begin.
‘Should I tell her the truth? How badly would the truth hurt her? She was looking forward to the baby's
birth, but I forced her to have an abortion.Thus, she bears a grudge against me due to her broken
heart.But if I tell her that she had an ectopic pregnancy and that couldn't develop into a live birth, she
might cry again.What should I do about that?’
At that moment, Zac was lost in thought.
He was afraid that this news would make Patricia so sad that she would cry again, and he wanted to
spare her that emotional turmoil.
But if things continued like this, there would always be an estrangement between himself and Patricia.
Several moments passed, and Zac still hadn't said a word.
Frowning, Patricia asked in confusion, "Zac, what did you want to say?"
She wondered why Zac was so hesitant to speak all of a sudden.
"I..." Even after a lengthy pause, Zac still couldn't speak on that matter.
In the end, he changed the topic of conversation instead of telling her the truth.
"Did you meet Kareem?"
A malicious smile formed on his face as he asked her this question.
He stared directly at her then, as if trying to figure out something from her facial expressions.
"Yes..." Patricia answered fearlessly.
Turning away from Zac, she added in a low voice, "That has nothing to do with you, anymore."
Hearing this last statement pissed Zac off so much that he gasped and struck the steering wheel hard.
‘Was she really so eager to get a clean break with me?’ Patricia curled her lip slightly as she noticed
Zac's facial expression.
An indescribable look flashed across her face at the thought of Kareem's words.
Perhaps Kareem was right.
She had gotten too close to Zac recently, making her forget that he was her sworn enemy.
"Zac, we really have nothing to do with each other anymore," Patricia said coldly.
They may not have gotten the divorce certificate yet, but there was no marriage restriction between
them.
Suddenly, Zac burned with anger.
Taking a deep breath, he uttered, "Patricia, is that what you really want?"
‘Is there really no room for maneuvering with regards to this matter between Patricia and myself? Why
does she have to behave in such a manner?’ Hearing his question had momentarily left Patricia
stunned.
Then, she nodded without saying a word.
She was very clear about the relationship between herself and Zac! Zac slammed the steering wheel a
few times and glared at her angrily after seeing her nod.
The blue veins on his forehead were exposed due to his fury.
"Get off the car!" he ordered coldly.
Patricia cast a firm glance at him before getting out of the car.
Before she could stand steadily, Zac started the car in one go and sped off.
Patricia took a deep breath and turned around without hesitation after seeing the car disappear in the
distance.
She believed this would be the end of her relationship with Zac.Patricia didn't know where she was, so
she walked aimlessly on the road.There wasn't even a bus stop in sight.
After walking for a long time, Patricia stood under a tree, hoping to get a taxi ride back to the company.
After a while, the honking of the BMW opposite her attracted her attention.Curious, she peered at the
person behind the wheel of that car.
"Miss Su, what a coincidence!"
With a gentle smile on his face, Kareem poked his head out and waved at her.
This look didn't fool Patricia.She knew he was up to no good.Ignoring him, Patricia continued walking
along the street.
She didn't want to have anything to do with him.
After she had walked a short distance, Kareem drove his BMW to catch up with her.
He honked the horn and shouted, "Miss Su, there are no bus stops or taxis here.Are you sure you can
walk back to the Veyron Corp.from here?"
This news left Patricia stunned.
Stopping in her tracks, she turned to look at Kareem.
Although she wanted to avoid being with Kareem, she couldn't act impulsively given her current
predicament.
Before she could say anything, Kareem raised his eyebrows and remarked, "Or are you afraid Zac
finds out about this?"
After he finished his taunt, he smiled but a hint of coldness flashing through his eyes.
Patricia exuded calmness and gazed at Kareem indifferently.
At this point, it was useless for him to provoke her, but she would accept his invitation to drive her to
her company.
Before walking to the BMW, she subconsciously took something out of her pocket.
Kareem smiled triumphantly as he saw her making her way to the car.
It appeared that his trick had worked.
After getting into the car, she looked out of the window at the scenery, looking very aloof.
Without saying anything, Kareem observed her expressions through the rearview mirror.
Taking in Patricia's mood and being the wise man he was, he realized that he could potentially ruin the
good opportunity that had presented itself if he said too much now.
Suddenly, there was a flash of weirdness on his face.
His goal would be achieved if the entertainment reporters could capture a photo of Patricia and himself.
Arriving, Kareem stopped his car in front of the Veyron Corp..
The entertainment reporters camping out downstairs picked up their cameras to shoot, trying to capture
the winning headline photos.
Kareem beamed when he saw the line of reporters.
From the moment Zac had taken Patricia away, Kareem had started following her around in order to
obtain an opportunity to have something to do with her.
Kareem smiled complacently while Patricia sneered.
Quickly getting out of the car, she walked over to him.
Without saying a word, she took out a one hundred dollar bill and put it in front of the vehicle.
Smiling, she said, "Thank you for giving me a ride, Mr.Reynolds.Here is your fare."
She then spun around and walked towards the Veyron Corp., ignoring the slightly pissed- off Kareem.
She, of course, had figured out his plan.
It was impossible for him to get anything from her! At that moment, Kareem gritted his teeth and glared
at her in rage.
Starting the car, he left without saying anything.
When Patricia returned to the company, she saw the strange gazes of her colleagues.
Arching her eyebrows, she wondered if there was any unexpected news announced while she was out.
But she was already used to this type of thing.
