Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1372 âPatrick, did you offend someone out there? This person seems to be quite powerful, considering that they managed to do this. Why donât⦠you look for Miss Lynch? Sheâs the goddaughter of the future prime minister now. It should be easy to ask her for help.â
âYeah. After all, you were in a relationship with Miss Lynch for a couple of years. Sheâll take your history into consideration.â
The shareholders made these remarks straightforwardly in front of Linda.
Lindaâs body swayed a little, and her face paled.
Patrickâs face turned ghastly. Even so, he could not expose that it was Freyaâs doing.
He never thought that Freya would end up going so far.
After all, they used to be in love with each other. How could she be so cruel?
He regretted approaching her of his own accord that night and giving her his business card.
However, he could not expose it to the companyâs shareholders as they would be more unhappy with him and Linda.
âEnough. Just drop it. Iâve already broken up with Freya for years and we no longer talk to each other.
Iâll find a way to settle this issue,â Patrick forced his mouth open and said with a deep voice.
âThatâs true.â One of the shareholders threw Linda a glance. âMiss Lynch came to the office and quarreled with some of our people previously.
Perhaps sheâs still holding a grudge against you. â
At the mention of this issue, all the shareholders were unhappy with Patrick.
At first, everyone thought that Freya was the one who behaved arrogantly and unreasonably when she fought with Linda back then. Later, when Patrick got into a relationship with Linda, many employees secretly discussed it and thought that Linda deserved to be beaten up. They believed that what made Freyaâs blood boil was the fact that Patrick had long since been involved with Linda.
Linda bit her lip and lowered her head.
Patrick shot a glance at her, his eyes flashing with guilt. He leaped to his feet and said, âLetâs dismiss.
Iâm going to have lunch with the supervision department later. Iâll try my best to settle the issue.â
âEven if you settle it, our companyâs reputation is still ruined. The food industry is different from others.
People wonât forget about it just because the incident is over. It takes several years of PR to save our reputation.â
All the shareholders grumbled before they walked away.
Patrick clenched his fists. Only after Linda closed the door did she turn around and say guiltily, âThe shareholders are right. If Freyaâ¦â
âDonât mention her anymore, â Patrick said frostily, âThis was her doing.â
âHuh?â Linda pursed her lips and asked with surprise, âWhy did she do that? Is it because she still hates you?â
âYeah.â Patrick furrowed his brows deeply, his eyes glinting with fury and misery. âI really donât understand when she started acting so cruelly. Or has she always been like this? After gaining her current status, she has learned to bully people.â
âItâs my fault.â Linda was filled with annoyance and guilt. âIf I had known this would happen, I wouldnât have contacted you whenever something happened to me back then. Also, I wouldnât have gotten together with you. Patrick, why donât⦠we⦠break up now?â
Linda said sorrowfully as tears slid down her face. â Iâm sure Freya canât get over you, thatâs why she still hates you. She might agree to be with you again if you pursue her. Whatâs more, sheâs currently the goddaughter of the future prime minister. If you marry her, sheâll be a real help to your future, unlike me.
I canât do anything else except some secretarial work and household chores.â
When Patrick heard those words at the end of her sentence, he was suddenly reminded of her selfless dedication in the past three years. With that, he felt even guiltier deep down. âLinda, donât say things like these. Secretarial work can be quite tiring at times. Whatâs more, itâs good enough that you can cook and do the cleaning for me even though youâre worn out. Freya never did these back then, so youâre much better than her.â
âButâ¦â
âJust drop it. Iâm not a social climber. Considering that youâve sacrificed so much for me, I wonât dump you just because of the company,â Patrick interrupted her, âGo and rest. I really need to meet the supervision department now.â
âLet me accompany you, â Linda promptly said.
