Chapter 162: There Will Be No Engagement Ceremony Tonight.

Jane's eyes flashed with complexity, carrying a hint of sadness and determination as she looked deeply at Patrick before turning and leaving. Her steps were unusually heavy, each one seeming to be a struggle.

Jane walked out of the door in a daze, Nana was walking towards her, panting and saying: "Jane, I've searched over there. I didn't see Patrick..."

"No need to look.” Jane said coldly as she dug her nails deep into her flesh.

The pain from her fingers spread throughout her body but Jane didn't feel it because the pain in her heart was thousands of times worse! Seeing that Jane's face was not good-looking, Nana asked with concern: "Jane, what happened?"

“Nana, let's go!" Jane snapped back to reality and pulled Nana towards the road. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The taxi from earlier was still there; the driver had just come back from using the restroom. Just as he was about to start driving again, Jane opened the car door and got in before saying sternly: "Go to Emperor Hotel."

Emperor Hotel is owned by Pansy Group which is where tonight's engagement ceremony will be held.

"Jane what happened? Did you find Patrick?" Seeing that something wasn't right with Jane's appearance, Nana asked anxiously.

With an icy expression on her face, Jane nodded while biting down on her lip.

"Where is he? Why isn't he here with you? Did he go directly to Emperor Hotel?"Nana worriedly questioned.

After knowing each other for so long, Nana had never seen their boss like this before. She must have been through something terrible. Closing her eyes, Jane lifted up a sarcastic smile,"There won't be any engagement ceremony tonight.”

"What?"Nana exclaimed in shock.

"I decided to break off my engagement with Patrick because his white moonlight has returned. He disappeared all day today because he spent it together with Candy.”

"White moonlight? You mean Candy came back? How could this happen!" Nanas voice filled up disbelief.

She had heard about Candy from Jane before, knowing that Patrick once loved a girl named Candy. But when she fell off a cliff years ago, everyone thought she had already passed away. Now, on the day when Patrick and Janes' engagement would take place, Candy suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

Nana didn't know how to comfort Jane. "Even if Candy comes back, Patrick may not choose her. Jane, don't be like this. You need to talk to him."

“Patrick's actions have already said it all. Why bother?" Jane squinted her beautiful eyes, with a hint of bitterness in her tone.

"But..." Nana knew her boss's personality well. Jane was a determined, self-respecting and proud woman who made up her mind and no one could change it.

Nana wanted to say more but Jane interrupted her. "Nana, let me be alone for a while."

Jane leaned back against the seat and the scene of Patrick hugging Candy just now appeared in her mind again and again, unable to drive away.

Her heart sank bit by bit until it reached the deepest part of the lake. The coldness was so intense that she felt pain she had never experienced before.

It was very uncomfortable; painful enough almost suffocating.

But even if it hurt so much, she had to endure it.

At this moment, she must be strong.

Since Candy came back and Patrick chose Candy instead of herself, there was no need for tonight's engagement ceremony anymore

She would rather propose first than wait for Patrick do so later on. Empire Grand Hotel

In the most luxurious banquet hall on the first floor where guests gathered excitedly,

Today is Pansy Group's head honcho Patrick's grand engagement ceremony where all Guavo's bigwigs are present at this grand event Many reporters also arrived early for fear of missing out on breaking news at any time.

Everyone is looking forward to this feast except Florence,

She glared hatefully at the stage in front of banquet hall where soon enough Patrick will hold an engagement ceremony with Jane receiving everyone's blessings.

Why? Why did he choose Jane?

"Florence don't get angry; It's just an engagement party not a wedding." Erica sensed Florence's anger beside him and quickly comforted him. Florence took a deep breath, "You're right - just an engagement party.” "Yeah! We'll find ways later on how we can get rid of that bitch!" Erica said as he looked towards Osborn with his own thoughts running through his head

Jane and Patrick were engaged but would they still pursue Osborn? Time passed by every minute but tonight's main characters -Patrick &Jane- were nowhere in sight yet

Old Pansy was puzzled. He had called Patrick, but his phone was off, and no one answered Jane's phone either.

"Maurice, have someone go look for Patrick,” Old Pansy furrowed his brow, feeling a bit uneasy.

He knew his grandson well; Patrick wasn't someone who was always late. Moreover, on such an important day like today, he should have arrived early. Why couldn't he be reached by phone or seen anywhere? "Old Pansy, don't worry. Mr. Patrick might be delayed with something," Mr. Maurice comforted him.

Just then Beatrice and Melissa walked over in their high heels.

"Dad, what is Patrick up to?" Beatrice looked displeased.

Since the day Winston held a press conference and Beatrice spoke up for him on behalf of the Pansy family's status plummeted drastically. Patrick simply moved out and hadn't returned home for many days now.

Old Pansy gave her a cold glance and said lightly: "He's your own son; why are you asking me?"

Beatrice choked back her words while Melissa sweetly spoke up: "Grandpa, Cousin isn't someone who doesn't know how to weigh things properly; I think he must be rushing over.”

"But Jane t00," she added while smearing black paint on Jane's name: "Why didn't she answer Cousin's call when his phone ran out of battery? She has no sense of propriety at all.”

Just as Old Pansy opened his mouth to say something else suddenly they heard someone shout: "Here comes!"

Everyone turned their gaze towards the door where they saw Jane wearing a red dress getting out of the taxi heading towards the banquet hall entrance alone.

Seeing Jane from afar finally made Old Pansy breathe a sigh of relief but then he realized that something wasn't quite right — where was Patrick?
