Chapter 551: Who are you?
Patricia had been watching everything unfold from the sidelines when Zoren suddenly appeared. The second her eyes landed on him, bitterness and fear swelled in her heart. Yet, despite her fear of Zoren, she couldn’t bring herself to leave.
How could she leave when she was staring at a man with such a divine presence?
It wasn’t like she didn’t know that Zoren was considered a legend. But with him standing in this crowd, he definitely stood out. She watched how everyone looked at him with admiration—from both men and women alike.
If only Patricia could stand beside such a man. Everyone would be so jealous. But alas, Zoren hated her, and he terrified her more than anything. Patricia only snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her mother’s voice join the situation.
She knew it was going to be bad, and thus, she was trying to sneak away when she heard her mother call.
"Patricia!"
All her life, Patricia knew that whenever her mother called her in that tone, it was good news. Or sometimes, it was just Mrs. Miller boasting about her. But right now, this call was akin to a bucket of ice—blocks of ice—being poured over her.
Her neck twisted like rusty metal as the crowd parted, leaving Patricia in full view.
"M-mom," Patricia stuttered, forcing a nervous smile.
Mrs. Miller hissed and shook her head. "What are you doing, Patricia? Mr. Pierson is here! Even if you wanted to keep everything private, you still need to help your brother out of this embarrassing situation!"
"Patricia?" Theo furrowed his brows, unsure of what was happening.
He had heard that his little sister was dating a very important person, but he’d gotten used to Patricia’s lies and didn’t believe it. Moreover, Theo had been so busy that he hadn’t had time to even think about it, especially since Patricia refused to introduce him to this supposed important figure.
