Chapter 71 He Matters to Me
Chapter 71 He Matters to Me
Patricia pressed her lips tightly as she saw Karina crying. She reached out and gently wiped the tears
from Karina's face.
"It's all right. It doesn't matter. You are so beautiful, lovely and generous. There will be tons of men
loving you!"
Karina shook her head and sat next to Patricia, clutching her hand tightly.
"No! He matters to me. I only love him! I've loved him for more than ten years! How can I let it go so
easily?"
Patricia patted Karina on the back, comforting her, "You are Dustin's sister. I don't think your parents
will accept you being together."
"Yes, I'm his sister," Karina said with a wry smile. "He often joked that we're just brother and sister, but
I'm not his real sister! I'm an adopted daughter of the Sparks family. Why can't we be together?!"
shouted Karina.
Patricia immediately covered Karina's mouth. "Karina," she said, "lower your voice. There are so many
people here. Your relationship with the Sparks family is unknown to others."
"I feel so unhappy. You know what, Patricia? I really, really like Dustin." Karina gently took Patricia's
hand and looked sad.
Patricia gently caressed Karina's head. "I know that, Karina. Well, let's stop it. Go home now. You're too
drunk to drink anymore."
Just as Patricia helped Karina to her feet, three men wearing masks came close to them.
The three men eyed them up and down, and asked evilly, "Where are you going, ladies?"
"Do you have dates? How about having fun with us?"
"Yeah, I saw someone had left with his date just now."
"Yeah. Let's have fun. If we are happy, we can stay here tonight. There are rooms upstairs!"
"Sorry, my friend is not feeling well now and we are not in the mood to have fun." Patricia frowned and
looked displeased.
Patricia wanted to leave with Karina, but the three men surrounded them.
"Why rush to leave? Since your friend is uncomfortable, she should have a rest." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"We have a room upstairs. Let's go upstairs and have a rest."
"Yeah, the party is almost over anyway. Have a good rest tonight and go back tomorrow."
Patricia looked sullen as she saw the sinister smiles on their faces.
She held Karina in her arms and backed a few steps, looking annoyed.
She couldn't leave alone when Karina was drunk.
"Don't mess up here, it's Archibald's party!"
Patricia looked around for help, but no one gave her a hand.
There were so many people at the party, but they all turned a blind eye to her.
It could be seen how cold these people were.
The three men shrugged, as if they didn't care what Patricia was saying.
"So what? Archibald is not a busybody."
"Yeah, so what if Archibald comes now? Does he care about you?"
"Who do you think you are?! Do you think Archibald will be tough on us for a woman like you?"
Patricia pressed her lips, lost in thoughts.
They were right. Archibald would not help her.
And she just scolded Archibald. Even if he saw her in trouble, he wouldn't lend her a hand.
He just turned a blind eye to Lydia, his wife, and did not give her any help.
In that case, how could he help a stranger like her?
But soon Archibald's cold voice was heard in the hall of the party.
"You're the first ones who dare to make a mess in my party!"
The three men froze on spot. They looked back, and were surprised to see Archibald in his black mask
and Matthew in his white mask.
They looked at the mask on Patricia's face, and felt panicked.
This woman turned out to be Matthew's date!
And Matthew and Archibald were good friends!?
So they had offended Matthew and Archibald?!
The three men immediately knelt at Archibald's and Matthew's feet, flustered.
"I'm sorry! Mr. Randolph! Mr. Crawford! We were so stupid to make trouble in the party! Please forgive
us!"
Matthew hurried over to Patricia, and asked with worries, "Patricia, are you all right?"
Patricia shook her head lightly, and felt warm in the heart.
Matthew was her boss, but he never put on air.
Archibald glanced at Patricia as she talked to Matthew, then stared at the three men kneeling in front of
him.
"Don't you know who you should apologize to?"
The three men turned to Patricia and knelt down, hitting their heads hard on the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang! They kowtowed one after another, heavily.
Patricia stepped back, afraid that their blood might splash her.
"All right. Get up."
Although Patricia had forgiven them, the men seemed to not hear her, and continued to knock their
heads on the grounds heavily.
Patricia looked at Archibald, who had his hands in his pockets.
These men were not afraid of her, but Archibald.
Noticing Patricia's gaze, Archibald said, "You're welcome."
Patricia gave him a blank look. She didn't mean to thank him!
Now all the attention was drawn to Patricia.
The people regretted that they didn't help Patricia just now. If they knew Patricia was Matthew's date,
they would have offered their hands!
That might win them a chance to know Matthew and Archibald!
"Tell them to stop it, Archibald! It's too much!" said Patricia.
"Rules are for punishing those who make mistakes," said Archibald, narrowing his eyes at Patricia.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Patricia could see that the floor was stained with blood trace.
"The rules are set by people, and they can be changed. You don't have to go too far. Wouldn't it dirty
the floor if there's blood stain?"
