Since Rosabella was dead, she did not dare to provoke Mireya and Rodney anymore.
“What? Why are you running when you see me?” Rodney’s lips curled into a sneer. “Weren’t you quite happy throwing in your lot with Rosabella? Oh, by the way, that friend of yours was also found to be a fraudster, and her entire family had gone to jail. It was a huge fraud involving hundreds of billions. I remember you had a really good relationship with her back then. You weren’t dragged into it, were you? Did the police investigate you?”
“No, I didn’t…” Linda panicked, and her face turned white as snow. ” I’m not familiar with Rosabella at all.”
“Not familiar?” Rodney smiled wickedly. “That can’t be. Back then, Rosabella even introduced you to the former prime minister’s grandson and saved Patrick out of jail. But you’re saying that you’re not familiar with her? Do you think I’m stupid? I think you must be a fish that slipped through the net, so you have to be caught and put on trial.”
Then, he took out his phone.
Linda looked at Patrick pleadingly. “Patrick, I really didn’t know. You have to help me. I was cheated by Rosabella. I only did it because I wanted to save you. Mireya is just there, so please help me beg for mercy. I don’t want to go to jail. I’m innocent.”
Patrick could not refute it. He had to admit that he only got out of jail because of Linda’s help.
He looked up at Mireya with a complicated gaze and walked towards her.
However, just as he took a step, Rodney stopped him.
“What are you doing? Are you planning to harass my wife?” Rodney warned coldly, “Get lost.”
Patrick’s face reddened in embarrassment, but he could not stand Linda’s bitter pleading. Hence, he forced his way through. “Mireya…”
He went to her side and looked at her face up close.
Only then did he realize that her face was a little rounder than before, but she seemed much more radiant. Her skin was excellent, and even the aura she exuded was different from what it used to be.
The difference between them now was like the difference between heaven and earth.
“Do you need something?” Mireya looked at him calmly, her gaze flat.
Patrick’s heart suddenly flooded with pain, and he was suddenly at a loss. “I…”
“He wants to plead for mercy on Linda’s behalf. ” Rodney walked over lazily. “Didn’t Linda get along well with Rosabella? Rosabella was suspected of fraud, so it’s standard procedure to investigate her friends too. But Patrick can’t bear to let Linda be investigated.”
Patrick panicked. “That’s not it. I just…”
“So you’re here to plead for mercy on Linda’s behalf?” Mireya interrupted him and stared at him with her dark eyes.
Patrick felt a lump in his throat. In the end, he could only nod stiffly. “I admit that Linda might have done a lot of bad things to you. But when it comes to Rosabella, Linda might really…”
“Might? Really?” Mireya smiled pensively. ” President Jackson, you know Rosabella is involved in a huge national-level fraud. Are you still trying to vouch for Linda? Have you ever thought of what you’ll face if you’re wrong? Have you thought about your parents? When you were in prison, your parents ran all around trying to help you. They even knelt at the entrance of the Lynch residence. You’re not young anymore to be so immature.”
Patrick’s handsome face turned pale.
In the past, he always felt that Mireya was not sensible and liked to kick up a fuss without reason.
Now, in her eyes, he was so immature that he looked like an idiot.
Mireya said faintly, “In fact, even if Linda is investigated, she won’t necessarily go to jail. As long as she didn’t do anything, the police can’t do anything to her. But if she’s suspected of it, it’s only natural that she goes to jail, isn’t it?”
Patrick was speechless.
It did seem like he was too hasty.
In other words, he should not have come over to plead for mercy at all.
It made it seem as if he cared about Linda when, in fact, it was Linda who caused Mireya and him to end up in this position…
“You don’t need to plead for Linda either. She has already slipped away. ” Rodney jerked his chin at the door with contempt.
That was when Patrick realized that Linda had quietly slipped away while he was pleading for her mercy.
At that moment, his heart went cold.
For that woman, he had misunderstood Mireya and lost his first love.
Hah…
Up until just now, he thought that he would help Linda one last time even though he had broken up with her.
“Aren’t you leaving?” Rodney stood in front of Mireya, his eyes full of contempt.
Patrick was too ashamed to stay. With that, he turned around and staggered away.
Only then did the surrounding people, who were watching the show, disperse one after another.
Harley said nosily, ” Did Linda really collude with Rosabella? Hurry up and call the police to arrest her.”
” I was just deliberately scaring her. The police had already investigated Linda when Rosabella was convicted. Linda was the first person Rosabella contacted after coming back, but Linda wasn’t involved in the fraud, or she would’ve been arrested long ago.”
Rodney snickered and looked at Mireya. “I didn’t expect Patrick to be stupid enough to plead for mercy on behalf of Linda. He must have some loose screws in his head.”
Mireya was silent, but Harley said, “That’s nothing new. But Linda just ruined his blind date. It’ll be even harder for Patrick to find a good date in Melbourne from now on.”
After lunch, Mireya and Harley shopped a little longer before deciding to go home.
Once they got into the car, Mireya took off her high heels.
She had not been wearing high heels during her pregnancy, so her heels hurt after wearing them for a while today.
Sure enough, beauty came with a cost.
Rodney started the car and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time to look at Mireya. When he saw her rubbing her feet, he could not help but secretly sigh.
Women were so troublesome. She still wanted to wear those high heels even though they were uncomfortable.
It served her right.
Of course, he did not dare to say it out for fear of being killed by Mireya.
“What are you looking at?” Mireya caught his eyes that kept flickering to her. “I haven’t asked you yet. Why did you go over there just now?”
“I was just venting for you.” Rodney quickly chuckled and said, “Patrick and Linda hurt you before, so I wanted to scare them off for you.”
“There’s no need. It’s all in the past. ” Mireya pursed her lips. She truly did feel that way.
After giving birth to a child, her mind was focused on the child and her body.
The first love in her past had become less important.
Rodney was stunned for a while before he smiled. “It really isn’t that important anymore. You have a husband and child now.”
Mireya snickered and rolled her eyes at him. “Get your facts right. You’re about to be laid off as a husband.”
“As long as I don’t sign, I won’t be laid off,” Rodney said with a straight face.
Mireya really took her hat off to his lack of shame.
When she arrived at the Lynch family’s villa and stepped foot into the house, she realized that all the clothes, shoes, and jewelry she bought at the mall that morning had been delivered. They were piled up all over the living room.
Mrs. Lynch pointed to the pile of things and complained, “Look. You can shop if you want to, but why did you buy so much? The house can barely fit all of it. Besides, you don’t intend on staying in Melbourne for a long time, so it’s a waste of money. Even if you have money, you shouldn’t squander it like this.”
Mireya was dumbfounded. She did not expect to have bought so much as well…
Rodney rushed forward and said, “Mom, it’s not Mireya’s fault. I paid for all of these. I didn’t think it through when I bought them. I was careless. How about this? I’ll see if there are any empty villas in this neighborhood. I’ll buy it for Mireya to store her stuff in.”
Mrs. Lynch was stunned. Buying a villa to store stuff?
Well. The life of rich people was something she could not understand.
“That’s not necessary. Even if you’re rich…”
“It doesn’t matter. Besides, Mireya is my only wife. What would I spend my money on if not on her? It’s just a villa. It won’t cost me much.”
