Chapter 1076: I want to go home.

At the same time, in the safe house where Patricia was currently staying...

Patricia hugged her knees, her back against the headboard. She stared blankly at the wall across the room, her lips drawn into a tight line.

A few hours ago, when she went down to the kitchen for something to eat, she saw something... surprising. It was a pure coincidence because while waiting for the helper to prepare her snack, there was a sudden commercial news segment regarding Miller's buyout.

Her brother and father had sold their company, making the Millers partners, but not owners. The news was big enough to make it to the commercial news. Since then, Patricia had been a little distraught. She hadn't even touched the snack the helper had prepared.

"They sold the company..." she mumbled to herself. "... they sold it to the Bennets."

Patricia clasped her shoulder tightly, her expression growing bitter and hateful. "And yet, they look so happy."

It wasn't that selling their company to the Bennets was the problem. It was the fact that her brother and father looked like fools!

Didn't they hate the Bennets?

Wasn't her father the one who disliked Charles Bennet and fed his children such hateful remarks about them?

Their family would never bow to anyone, yet, from what she saw, they looked like dogs wagging their tails to their new owner. The worst of all was that they didn't even seem to notice her absence.
