Patrick has no interest in these romantic affairs with women, but every word spoken by Mia seems to be leverage.

Therefore, he leaned against the wall and listened carefully.

In fact, it's not difficult to hear the content. Mia got involved with Uncle because of what happened last night. After all, the other party is a prominent figure. Most of the women who come to Shangri-La are here to connect with the powerful.

Mia is clearly a woman with influence. As soon as Patrick saw her emotional experience in the information, he understood in his heart that targeting this woman would not be wrong.

"I don't care anyway. You must divorce and marry me!"

After saying this, Mia angrily hung up the phone and then sat with her legs crossed, smoking.

Patrick saw that the timing was about right, so he knocked on the door and appeared at the entrance.

When the other party turned around and saw him, there was a sparkle in their eyes.

"Patrick?"

Mia is a regular customer at Shangri-la, naturally recognizing the general manager of Shangri-la, Patrick. However, it is said that Patrick is already married and has children, focusing mainly on his family life and rarely visiting Shangri-la. Unexpectedly, today she is so lucky to meet this charming, wealthy, and handsome boss. Patrick smiled at Mia, sat down across from her without wasting time, and went straight to the point, "Just heard Miss Mia mention the divorce, are you married, Miss Mia?" Mia was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted, explaining hurriedly, "It's not me, it's my friend who is facing some relationship issues." "Oh." The other party pretended to be clueless, and Patrick followed suit. After a brief chat to understand Mia's situation, Patrick brought up business, "Uncle is from the Information Bureau, do you know him, Mia?" Mia certainly knew, as Uncle had told her Everyone last night to please her. However, she pretended not to know and said, "Just say what you want, as long as the conditions are acceptable to me, I will honestly answer whatever you want to know, Mr. Patrick."

In this kind of nightlife scene, every woman is there for her own interests, and Mia is no exception.

She has grown indifferent towards men, who shower her with sweet words before getting intimate only to reject her afterwards. She has seen it all.

She had hoped that Ariana’s uncle, this old man, would take her in, but the moment she mentioned divorce, he immediately changed his demeanor and even threatened her.

Thinking this, Mia felt enraged.

Patrick spoke frankly, "Miss Mia is indeed a clever person. Alright, as long as Miss Mia can help me with a certain task, I, Patrick, will naturally not forget to reward you."

After saying this, he pushed a stack of documents in front of Mia. "Send these documents to the information bureau in your name, and expose uncle's scandal on the internet..."

Patrick didn't explicitly state what would come next, but he believed that Mia would understand.

And indeed, Mia understood. She accepted the documents with a smile, extending five fingers.

Patrick wickedly curled his lips and nodded, "Deal!"

After leaving the lounge, Patrick intended to call Bradley to claim credit, but to his surprise, a stranger answered the phone.

"Where is Bradley?"

A noisy and tense voice came from the phone, causing Patrick to frown subconsciously.

After a moment of silence, the voice on the other end said, "Young Master Chen and Madam were in a car accident and are currently being treated in the emergency room."

"What did you say?"

Patrick didn't say much, he quickly left Shangri-La with his phone in hand.

...

At the hospital.

When Patrick arrived, Lance was anxiously waiting outside.

"What happened? Why would there be a car accident out of nowhere?" Patrick ran all the way over, his voice barely concealing his panting.

Lance respectfully said, "The specific cause is still under investigation. Young Master's driving skills are widely known, so it is unlikely for this kind of car accident to happen normally. Therefore, I suspect it may have been a deliberate car accident."

After the car accident, Lance quickly pulled up the surveillance footage of the accident scene, but unfortunately, the cameras on that road section happened to malfunction. This raised suspicions about the car accident. Patrick leaned against the wall and hoarsely said, "Urgently investigate, no one will be spared, and what is the situation with Master Chen and his wife now?" Lance shook her head, "Not sure, they've been inside for an hour and haven't come out." During their conversation, two people ran from the depths of the corridor, they were Madeline and James. They also rushed here as soon as they received the news and seemed out of breath. Madeline grabbed Patrick's arm anxiously and asked, "How are Freya and Master Chen?" Patrick pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her, "Everyone will be fine, it will be fine..." Just then, the phone rang urgently. Madeline took her phone from her bag and answered it, hearing Sophia's anxious voice from the other end, "Sis, something bad has happened."

Sophia's voice was filled with tears, causing Madeline's heart to tighten. "Don't rush, take your time and tell me what happened," she said. The other end just kept crying until it turned into a choked sob, "Baby, the baby is missing." Madeline's phone slipped from her grip, falling to the ground with a loud clang. She staggered back, almost collapsing if Patrick hadn't quickly grabbed her. He said, "Don't scare me, Sophia called, what did she say?" Patrick felt a sense of panic in his heart, his voice hoarse. Madeline trembled as she said, "I entrusted both children to Sophia to take care of, but now... they're missing." Upon hearing this, Patrick's face turned pale. Despite Madeline's breakdown, he remained calm and said, "Lance and James, I leave this place in your hands, contact me if anything happens." With that, Patrick took Madeline and left the hospital. At that moment, the lights in the emergency room went out, and a doctor came out. Lance and James hurried over and asked, "Doctor, how are our Young Master and Madam?"

The doctor took off his mask and said, "Madam has only some superficial wounds, which we have already treated, so there's nothing serious. As for Patrick's arm, there is a comminuted fracture, but there is no threat to his life."

"Thank you, doctor."

Upon hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

No harm dying is a stroke of good luck.

Freya and Bradley were soon transferred to the ward.

An hour later, Freya woke up faintly and the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was James, causing her to be slightly surprised.

But soon she regained her composure.

"James, you..."

"Madeline was supposed to come too, but she had some urgent matters to attend to. As for Lance, he is looking after Uncle San, so I decided to stay here and keep you company." Without waiting for Freya to finish, James explained proactively.

Freya nodded, but then remembered something and asked anxiously, "What about Bradley, how is he?"

"Bradley's injury is quite serious, he is recuperating in the next ward."

After James finished speaking, Freya struggled to sit up, removed the needle in her hand and got out of bed.

"Freya, don't worry, Bradley is not in danger." James wanted to help her, but Freya had already hit the ground and dragged her exhausted body out of the ward.

At that moment, James's heart was still deeply touched.

Loneliness, despair.

Even the last hint of light in his heart was dimmed.

Yes, not loving is not loving, no matter how persistent he is, in her heart, there is only Bradley.
