Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 301

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Harvey Group in Pollerton, the capital of Frehar, it was only three in the morning due to the time difference. The bustling metropolis, filled with the allure of wealth and grandeur, carried on with its endless streams of cars and lights. Patrick, who had just finished an overtime task, stood by the window on the 30th floor, sipping on an iced coffee prepared by his secretary, Nathan Smith. The office building was mostly dark, except for the 30th floor where Patrick was working, bathed in light. In this rare moment of quiet, Patrick allowed himself to shed the fierce determination he usually wore. Exhaustion crept into his expression. At 29, he was single-handedly leading Harvey Group's expansion into the international market far from home, and the weight of that responsibility was immense.

Patrick tugged off his moss-green tie, shrugged out of his black suit jacket, and stood there in a crisp, white textured shirt, One hand tucked into his pocket, his perfectly chiseled face, an inheritance from his parents, Quinton and Sara, caught the city's neon reflections. The bitter taste of the coffee lingered on his tongue as his eyes stared out at the glittering night. A cold, lonely aura enveloped him.

Despite the late hour and the success of his work in Frehar, an inexplicable unease gnawed at him. He had been too busy to keep in touch with his family, working until 3 a.m. every night for the past month. For the year he spent working in Frehar, Patrick had only returned home once for the New Year. Now that the expansion of Harvey Group in Frehar was almost complete, he decided it was about time to return to the country.

"It's about time I returned," he murmured. Once Patrick finished the current project and presented a detailed report to Quinton, he could finally take a well-deserved break. After all, balancing work and rest was essential for peak performance.

As Patrick was about to dive back into his work, his phone rang. It was a call from Nathan, who spoke over the phone, sounding unusually frantic. "I have some bad news, Mr. Harvey." Upon hearing that, Patrick's brow furrowed slightly. Nathan was someone Patrick had personally trained, a trusted confidant who usually remained composed even in dire situations. The fact that he was panicking now only confirmed Patrick's uneasy premonition.

"What happened?" Patrick asked in his usual calm tone.

"It's... It's about your family in Sokovis," Nathan replied, quickly relaying the events that transpired in Sokovis to Patrick. The scandal had exploded not just in Clusia but even made headlines internationally. After all, good gossip was always welcomed by everyone all around the world.
