Chapter 2 Dismissed?
Chapter 2 Dismissed?
Patricia grabbed the coat beside the bed, covered her head and rushed out of the presidential suite.
When Archibald woke up later, he found the woman lying next to her had already left. He put the bangs
hanging down his head backwards. The sun spread on his body mildly, portraying his perfect figure.
He glanced at the empty space beside him and the handmade bracelet near the pillow immediately
drew his attention.
Archibald frowned and picked it up. A faint scent of fragrance still remained on it, the same as the
woman’s smell he remembered.
“Do you think you can fool me with this gadget after having sex with me?”
Patricia was anxious when she was on her way of rushing to home. The Coleman family was strict to
their children. She and her sister were never allowed to stay outside all night, however…
‘Never mind. It’s early in the morning and they may still be sleeping.’ Patricia shook her head and
thought to herself.
She opened the door carefully. When she got in, she stopped after hearing a man’s angry voice.
“Patricia! Why are you coming back so late? Where have you been last night?”
Patricia was dumbfounded. She was frightened to see her parents and sister, who were all sitting on
the couch, staring at her.
Wesley Coleman, his father, suddenly stood up with an angry face. Miranda, her mother also looked at Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
her unpleasantly, her eyes full of disappointment.
“Well, I just spent a night in my friends’ house. It was so late after the party last night.”
Patricia didn’t dare to tell her parents the truth. Her parents would drive her out of the house if they
knew she spent a night with a strange man in a hotel room.
The main reason was that she didn’t even know who the man was and how old he was. She simply
made love with him without knowing anything about him.
Miranda frowned and asked, “Which friend?”
Patricia turned her eyes and answered without hesitation, “Karina.”
However, her family around her showed a dark expression upon hearing this.
At this time, Lydia, Patricia’s sister, who resembled her a lot, kept shaking her head, as if she wanted to
tell her something.
“Lydia, what’s wrong?” Patricia looked at her with confusion.
The next second, a familiar figure came downstairs.
“Patricia, you’re finally back. Where have you been last night?”
It was Karina who was speaking to her. Patricia’s eyes opened wide and she was totally shocked.
Karina was her best friend when she was little.
“Karina, why are you in my house?”
Karina tilted her head and kept rubbing her temple, “I was drunk at your birthday party and spent the
night in your house.”
SLAP! A clear slapping sound came in the hall.
Patricia’s legs were so weak that she could hardly stand still and fell on the ground. She felt dizzy and
couldn’t see things clearly.
“Tell us the truth! Where have you been last night?”
It seemed that Wesley wanted to rush forward to kick Patricia, but she was stopped by Miranda and
Lydia.
Lydia looked at Patricia, who was lying on the floor. Her eyes were full of worries, but then a flicker of
gloating passed over.
“Dad! Stop beating my sister. There must be some misunderstandings. Although she is naughty, she
has never stayed outside overnight before.”
Miranda also nodded. Although they were twin sisters, they had a preference for the elder sister, who
was more tactful and rational.
They couldn’t bear to hurt Patricia. After all, she was their baby.
“Yes, my dear, let’s figure out what happened exactly.”
Karina hurriedly helped Patricia up. She frowned and asked with concerns, “Patricia, are you OK?”
Patricia slightly shook her head and slowly walked towards her parents with Karina’s help.
“Mom, dad, I’m sorry.”
Miranda sighed, “Do you know how worried we are about you? You have been so wilful since you were
a baby. Why can’t you learn from your sister and behave yourself?”
Wesley also snorted, “Yes. She must learn from her sister. How good it is if she is only half as good as
Lydia.”
Lydia squinted her yes and screamed out of no reason. She immediately grabbed Patricia’s shoulder
and pulled down her clothes, showing bruises and signs of kissbite!
“Oh my god, Patricia. What’s worry with your body? Have you been bullied by someone?”
Seeing this, Patricia hurriedly pulled up her clothes and a bad feeling crossed her mind.
Wesley, who was already furious, heard Lydia’s words and grabbed Patricia’s hair to pull her beside
him. His expression was fierce and malicious!
Maybe Lydia didn’t know what the bruises meant, but Wesley knew exactly.
“You’re such a bitch! Where have you been last night? Where’s the boy you hang up with?”
Patricia felt great pain on a head and looked at her mother in despair, “Mom…”
Lydia stepped backwards, showing that she couldn’t interfere with it.
Karina, standing beside them, couldn’t do anything, because it was wrong to fight with the elders. She
could only ask anxiously, “Uncle Wesley, just let Patricia go! Otherwise, she couldn’t explain what is
going on!”
Wesley snorted and threw Patricia onto the ground.
“Tell me! Where is that boy?”
Lydia hurriedly squatted beside her sister and asked worriedly, “Patricia, just tell what had happened to
dad. He won’t blame you. He is just worried about you!”
Patricia bit her lip and finally answered, “I, I don’t know who he is…”
After saying this, a cup landed on her head.
BANG! It handed on Patricia’s hand heavily and dropped on the floor, broken into pieces around her.
The sharp tiles cut her hand, the blood tint them red, which looked extremely shocking.
Karina frowned and embraced Patricia into her arms. She didn’t say anything, but showing her
resolution of protecting her!
