However, Linda had underestimated Rodney. Rodney was not gentlemanly at all. He lifted Linda straight away and slapped her across the face.
“Linda! “
Patrick’s eyes were bloodshot from anger. He stumbled and rushed forward to push Rodney away in a hurry. “Rodney Snow, it’s fine if you want to hit me. Come at me if you can! But how are you still a man if you hit women?”
“Who was the one who hit women first?” Rodney sneered furiously, “Why didn’t you say the same things when you hit Mireya just now? You really have double standards.”
“That was because she bullied Linda first…”
“How did Mireya bully Linda? Did she hit Linda? Linda chose to knock her head on the ground. You should be asking her why she came here to do that. No one forced her to. Also, why did Linda intentionally choose to create a scene at the entrance of the neighborhood? Was she afraid other people might not be able to see it? Since she loves to knock her head on the ground so much, she should just do it on a television program. I promise to give her a platform where she can knock her head on the ground all she wants.”
Rodney made loud accusations. Although he had arrived late, he did not believe that Mireya, who was pregnant, would raise a hand against others.
Patrick was stunned for a few seconds until Linda suddenly flung herself into his embrace amidst the cold wind. “Patrick, I’m sorry. I just wanted to beg her to spare Jackson Corporation. I’m willing to leave you for it. I knelt willingly. It wasn’t Mireya’s fault.”
“Don’t say any more.” Patrick had blamed her a little at first, but after seeing her face which was swollen from getting slapped, he was enraged. ” Rodney, you should stop talking too. To be blunt, the Snow family are the ones who are bullying us non-locals.”
“You…” Patrick frowned angrily. He stared at Mireya. When he saw her swollen pretty little face, his heart went still for a moment. Had he hit her that hard?
“Patrick, how many times have you hit me? You hit me three years ago, and you hit me again three years later,” Mireya said calmly, “Do you think I’m an easy target?”
“F*ck, this isn’t the first time he hit you?! Why didn’t you say that earlier?” Rodney said fiercely, “I should’ve hit him harder just now.”
Mireya looked at Rodney in a daze.
His handsome face was obviously filled with anger. She was not used to it.
After all, they were sworn enemies who had been going against each other.
Jessica squinted her pretty eyes. Although Patrick had been hit until he had bruises all over his body and his face was swollen, it was not hard to observe from his clothing that he appeared to be a well- mannered handsome person. Such a man actually raised his hand against a woman repeatedly.
Moreover, Mireya was pregnant now. If anything had happened to her, the child would have been harmed too.
Jessica moved her lips coldly. “You’re very bold. You dared to hit a member of the Snow family.”
Patrick’s body trembled. Although that woman’s gaze was indifferent, the surrounding air was compressed till the pressure was exceedingly low. He felt chilly all over and regretted it a lot. “Eldest Young Lady Snow, I’m sorry. I was too rash…”
“Can the problem be solved with just an apology when a member of the Snow family was hit?” Jessica’s delicate brows raised slightly.
“But I was hit by Young Master Snow till I’m in this state as well…”
Jessica laughed, sounding utterly icy. “I never thought there would come a day when a member of the Snow family would be bullied by a non-local. “
Patrick broke out in a cold sweat. Linda toughened herself and stepped forward. She said, “Everything happened because of me. Eldest Young Lady Snow, if you want to punish someone, just punish me alone.”
Linda…. Patrick’s eyes trembled.
Linda said with tears in her eyes, “Don’t say anything. It was my fault today. I overestimated myself.”
Patrick clenched his fists. He had overestimated himself too.
Mireya watched coldly as patrick and Linda echoed each other. She was not upset. She just felt disgusted.
Jessica glanced at Linda and smiled vaguely. “There’s a time and place to act like you are deeply in love. Sometimes, in some places, putting on such an act will only make you pay a hevier price.”
Linda was taken aback.
“Your last name is Shelby, right? I’ll remember it.” Jessica glanced at Rodney and Mireya. “Let’s go.”
“Mm.”
Mireya nodded and left with Rodney.
Throughout the entire time, she never shot a glance at Patrick.
When she recalled she previously thought that Patrick was handsome and gentlemanly, she felt disgusted. He had utterly sullied the word gentlemanly’.
Patrick absentmindedly watched Mireya from behind.
Jessica’s appearance made him truly aware of the stark difference between him and Mireya now.
He actually raised his hand and hit Mireya. Was he crazy?
How could he afford to offend the prime minister’s goddaughter?
“Patrick, what do we do now?” Linda thought of the last words Jessica said. Would the Shelby family be targeted too? The Shelby family was lacking compared to Jackson Corporation. If the Shelby family were met with a misfortune, she would no longer be the young lady of the Shelby family.
No, Linda did not want to end up as an ordinary girl.
“I don’t know either.” Patrick shook his head absently.
He could not go against Jessica. The Lynch family had already surpassed Jackson Corporation by a great length in these few years under the leadership of Forrest, let alone the Snow family.
He was not even the Lynch family’s opponent.
Linda gritted her teeth. “Patrick, I have an idea. The fact that we got hit today is true. As long as we circulate the video of Rodney hitting us, it’ll surely raise a commotion. The Snow family does have overwhelming power and Nathan is the future prime minister. However, no one will know the results when it’s not the final moment yet. There are many people in the dark who want to replace Nathan. They must really want the Snow family’s reputation to be stained. We can grab this opportunity.”
Patrick was taken aback. He gazed at Linda as if he had just gotten to know her for the first time.
Linda cried. “I have no choice either. Moreover, the Snow family is bullying you too much.”
“Linda, Nathan is undoubtedly the most excellent one among the candidates for prime minister. A prime minister decides a country’s development and future…” Patrick pressed his lips together. ” If the one who assumes the position is not a good person…”
“Patrick, look at Rodney and Jessica’s haughty expressions. How good can someone from the Snow family be? Besides, Mireya is so arrogant now as well. When her godfather becomes the prime minister, will we still have a way to survive?” Linda smiled bitterly. “We’re just ordinary people. I’m selfish. I just want to take care of you and my family and spend our days properly.”
Patrick frowned. He was hesitating because of her words. After a long time, he clenched his fists and nodded.
A sedan drove toward the Snow family’s residence.
On the way, the car stopped. Jessica asked the driver to go to the pharmacy. Not long after, the driver brought an ice pack and a bottle of medicine back.
“Miss Lynch, apply the ice pack on your face first and then apply some medicine.”
“Thank you.” Mireya received the items. She did not expect that despite looking cold, Jessica was very thoughtful and attentive.
Mireya applied the ice pack to her wound. The burning pain was instantly soothed.
Rodney only realized it afterward. F*ck, why was he so dense? He never thought of buying medicine for Mireya. He thought that after getting hit in the face, the swelling would subside and recover without needing any medication.
He was frustrated when he thought about it. Sure enough, there was a reason why he was still single.
It was normal that he had been dumped by other people.
He had to improve in the future.
“Uh… Hey… Why don’t we go to the hospital and do an ultrasound in case something happened to the child?” he immediately suggested.
“It’s alright. Besides my face, I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere else.” Mireya rejected him.
“But…”
” She got hit in the face, not her stomach. ” Jessica could not stand it either.
Jessica was really impressed with Rodney’s EQ. If he continued nagging, Mireya would only suspect that he only cared about the child and not her face.
Rodney pressed his lips together in frustration. He was just afraid that the slap was too strong and it affected the baby too.
“You did well today.” It was a rare occasion that Jessica was praising Rodney.
Rodney was surprised. “But… the fact that I beat someone up even got on the news. Grandpa and the others must be very angry.”
“That’s right, so didn’t you think of it first before you hit him?” Jessica reminded him coldly.
