Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Chapter 254: Playing the Whole Act



Her lips, soft and sweet like delicious candy, tempted Patrick beyond control.

That familiar taste… indescribably wonderful and alluring.

Patrick tightly gripped Jane’s slender waist, pulling her close to him.

His passionate kisses fell like a storm, leaving Jane both awkward and shy, her face turning almost blood-red.

Her heart, like a little deer, leaped wildly, almost jumping out of her throat.

Clutching the towel tightly, Jane dared not move, allowing the man in front of her to absorb everything.

The room’s temperature seemed to rise, constantly increasing, rising again…

Just then, a pleasant ringtone broke the romantic atmosphere, coming from Patrick’s suit pocket.

“Your phone is ringing.” Jane took the opportunity to free herself from Patrick.

Shit!

Patrick cursed inwardly, took out his phone, and checked. It was Morton calling.

He adjusted his breath before answering the call, “What’s up?”

Morton on the other end could clearly sense that their president seemed to be in a bad mood and shivered involuntarily. “Mr. Pansy, there’s progress in Miss North’s allergy incident from yesterday.”

“Oh? Tell me.” Patrick raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, we followed those two students and traced them to a flower shop. After investigating the flower shop’s supplier, an employee from a planting base admitted that she accidentally dropped a platinum ring into the bouquet that day.” Morton continued.

Patrick furrowed his handsome brows. How could it be such a coincidence?

“They are recording statements at the police station now. I’ll send someone to the police station to gather more information soon.” Morton added.

While Patrick was on the call, Jane quickly grabbed her clothes and went to the bathroom to get dressed.

Looking at herself in the mirror, with a face flushed, the unexpected hot kiss flashed in her mind.

Her lips still had a tingling sensation.

Damn it…

Jane quickly turned on the tap, splashing cold water on her cheeks.

Taking a few deep breaths, she adjusted her breathing and walked out of the bathroom.

As soon as she entered the room, she heard Patrick talking to Morton on the phone.

Seeing Patrick hang up, Jane asked, “How is it? Did Morton find out anything?”

Patrick’s gaze fell on Jane.

She was already dressed in casual clothes, with a high ponytail, exuding youthful energy.

“Morton said an employee from the flower planting base admitted to accidentally dropping a platinum ring into the bouquet while working, causing this accident.” Patrick said in a deep voice.

Accident?

Jane did find it somewhat accidental.

Someone even voluntarily admitted it.

However-

How could this be possible?

If it was just a ring falling into the bouquet, the petals should only have a slight stain, not causing such a severe allergic reaction.

So, it was definitely not an accident.

But she wondered, did the employee admitting to the mistake happen coincidentally, or was it a deliberate arrangement by the mastermind behind this?

“Do you believe this is an accident?” Jane pursed her lips and asked.

Patrick spoke coldly, “Absolutely impossible to be an accident.”

“I think the same.” Jane pondered, “However, we can treat it as an accident.”

“What do you mean?” Patrick raised an eyebrow.

Jane smiled, “Let’s use a trick of our own.”

As long as the mastermind believes they genuinely treated yesterday’s opening ceremony incident as an accident, she would lower her guard, become more reckless, and be more likely to reveal her true intentions.

Jane spoke and pulled Patrick’s arm. “Let’s go to the police station.”

“You’re still recovering from the allergy; rest at home. Morton will bring the information to you later.” Patrick paused, speaking gently.

“I’m fine.” Jane shook her head, insisting on going to the police station.

Regardless, to make the act convincing, they needed to go all the way.

Unable to resist Jane’s insistence after checking her, Patrick could only drive her to the police station.

“Mr. Pansy, Miss North.” The chief personally received them with a respectful tone.

Patrick squinted, “Has the investigation into Miss North’s allergy incident from last night been clarified?”

“Yes, relevant personnel are currently recording statements in the interview room.” The chief replied.

“Can I go have a look?” Jane asked from the side.

The chief nodded, “Miss North, as the party involved, of course, you can.”

While speaking, the chief led Jane and Patrick towards the interview room.

The first people Jane saw were the two female students who had given her flowers yesterday.

“Miss North, I’m really sorry!” The girl who accidentally spilled the flowers on Jane looked guilty, apologizing repeatedly. “I didn’t know you were allergic to platinum, let alone that the flowers would touch the platinum, causing your allergy. It’s all my fault, I’m sorry!”

“Never mind, you were unaware. Ignorance is not a crime.” Jane smiled and spoke.

Looking at the girl’s appearance, it seemed she genuinely knew nothing.

“Miss North, you’re really kind.” The girl expressed gratitude. “I caused you an allergy, and you’re not blaming me, even when it trended online.”

“You didn’t do it on purpose.” Jane patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry too much.”

“Thank you, Miss North!” The girl kept thanking her repeatedly.

The chief said to the two girls, “After you finish recording your statements, if there’s nothing else, you can go back.”

“Thank you!” The two students thanked again and left.

At that moment, the employee from the planting base finished recording her statement and walked out with a police officer.

She was a middle-aged woman around forty. As soon as she saw Jane, she knelt down with a thud. “Miss North, I’m sorry! It wasn’t intentional!”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Jane furrowed her brows. “Please get up first.”

The police officer quickly helped the middle-aged woman up.

The woman looked at Jane nervously. “Miss North, this was entirely accidental. Now my boss wants to fire me. I have elderly parents and young children to support. Besides flower planting, I don’t know how to do anything else. If I get fired… how can I live?”

“Don’t worry. Since it’s an accident, I’ll talk to your boss and ensure no one is held responsible.” Jane smiled and reassured her.

“Really?” The woman’s eyes lit up.

Jane nodded. “Certainly.”

“Thank you, Miss North!” The woman was overjoyed, thanking continuously.

“You can go back now.” The police officer told the woman.

After the woman left, Jane looked at the chief and calmly said, “Director Geordie, you can arrange a press release. The incident at the opening ceremony yesterday, just state it was an accident.”
