Chapter 8 Patricia's Future
Chapter 8 Patricia's Future
Lydia wiped her teary eyes with her hands. When nobody was looking at her, she grinned a secret
smile.
Since she and Patricia were born, each of them had 10% shares. Her parents gave her an extra 10%
because she worked in the group now. If they really gave Patricia's 10% to her today, she would hold
30% of the shares of the Coleman Group.
If so, she would be quite the majority shareholder in the group. She just wanted to kill Patricia's baby in
the first place. The shares were totally an unexpected surprise.
"Dad, Mom... I don't think that's a good idea. Patricia may not care about the family, but she's still one
of us."
She was overjoyed inside, and she tried her best to look as if she couldn't care less. She even took the
opportunity and made the two hate Patricia even more.
Wesley sneered, "She'll be fine. She was right, we were treating you as our successor, and she was no
more than your appendage."
Lydia hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have captured something. Then she asked, "Why did you
do that?"
Miranda sighed and answered, "We were told that all twins would have one that was outstanding in
every aspect. We've made our decision since I'm pregnant that we would make the better one the
successor of the Coleman group. The other one would assist her."
Wesley then added, "After the IQ test, we found your IQ was 100 points higher than Patricia. You must
be the better one."
Having heard those words, Lydia's back was socked in cold sweat. This reminded of the old days when
they were young. At that time, Patricia was the favoured one.
Little Patricia was very adorable because she was quick-witted, kind and beautiful. That was when
Lydia started to hold grudge against her, but it had totally changed after they had the IQ test.
Lydia had been jealous and sensitive for many years, which caused her to swap the IQ test results that
day. She didn't even know how that idea came to her mind at that moment till today, but she felt lucky
that she had done that.
Since then, Lydia suddenly became the favoured one, replacing Patricia's place. But Lydia still hated
Patricia because she seemed to be better than her in every aspect.
Today, she finally knew the reason behind all this. She pursed her lips as she realized she had stolen
Patricia's future. She stole Patricia's whole future with just a swapping trick.
Her back was soaked in sweat, but she felt more than grateful at the same time.
"Patricia, you're better than me in every aspect, so what? Your future is on me now! You're living like a
loser from now on!"
When her parents left the room, Lydia went back to her room and sat with her legs crossed. She would
never marry Dustin!
She took out her phone and checked the picture she took in the hospital today.
She sent a few paparazzi to the hospital and took these pictures for future use, and she felt so happy
they would be used so soon.
"Patricia, don't blame me for this. I told you not to have the baby and marry Dustin, but you wouldn't
listen to me. You could've lived an easier life, but you don't want it. This is not my fault."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Early the next morning, the door of Coleman's house was blocked by paparazzi.
The headlines of major newspapers were about the same thing, that the second daughter of the
Coleman family was pregnant because she had illicit sexual relations with an old man.
Having seen these headlines, Wesley threw his laptop on the ground. His expression changed quite a
few times, looking like hell.
"Damn it! Who let this out?"
Lydia looked at the picture on her phone and exclaimed, "Dad, look! We were in the hospital! They took
those pictures when we took Patricia to the hospital for abortion!"
Wesley looked sullen. "What can we do now? Once this gets to the Sparks, we may lose the
opportunity to marry you to Dustin. Bad news always spread fast."
As he said that, somebody was knocking at the door. They opened the door and walked out.
Seeing their future in-laws finally show up, the paparazzi couldn't stop hitting their shutters.
Dustin was standing in front of the door with his parents, and they were in a rage.
"Mr Coleman! We agreed on their marriage because we trusted you! Is that your way to reward us?"
Wesley shook his head to Mr Zachary Sparks and denied, "It's not like that! We had no idea why
Patricia would do that!"
"Enough! We're just here to break off their engagement. Patricia is such a profligate woman. I'll never
allow her to step into my house ever again!"
Wesley nodded and then said patiently, "I know... it was Patricia's fault. We understand that you want to
break off the engagement, but our cooperation has to be continued."
Caroline Sparks sneered as if she had seen Wesley and Miranda through. She said, "I don't think we
would continue our cooperation after all this. Have you seen how many people laughing at us now?"
Wesley nodded embarrassingly. "I know, I'll let my other daughter, Lydia, marry Dustin to make up for it.
Lydia has always been the smarter one, and the marriage will be a rewarding deal for you!"
Having heard those words, Dustin's eyes were fixed on Lydia. He was chuckling to himself. He would
be more than glad if Lydia could marry him.
Dustin was tanned and muscular, with the face of a righteous man. He had fallen for Lydia for decades!
"I think that's a good idea. Replace Patricia with Lydia! Patricia's slutty private life has nothing to do
with Lydia!" Dustin said and turned around trying to persuade his parents.
Lydia squinted her eyes. She had sent a few pictures of her own using an anonymous account. They
were pictures in which she was hitting the clubs, dancing closely with other men and shaking her body
on the dance floor.
Those moves were bold and seductive, and the message was marked "read".
Therefore, Lydia was sure Mr and Mrs. Spars would never let their son get married with her.
