Chapter 129: Because Of Madeline

Chapter 129: Because of Madeline

Jones clenched his hands on either side of his body, gripping tightly. He took a deep breath, his face darkening as he spoke, "Why should I bother with this boring analysis?"

"What's the matter, scared?" Jane raised an eyebrow. She was confident that Jones wouldn't dare to undergo the voiceprint analysis.

"Heh heh." Jones chuckled dryly, "This so-called recording is meaningless! It doesn't prove anything."

"Meaningless? If the voice in the recording isn't yours, why not undergo the voiceprint analysis?" Jane spoke with a mocking tone. "Should I interpret this as you feeling guilty?"

Faced with Jane's barrage of questions, Jones answered evasively, "Miss North, these are all baseless accusations. As the head of Pansy Group's French factory, why would I do such a thing? What benefit would I get from tampering with the raw materials? As for planting a bomb, it's absurd!"

"Yes, as the head of Pansy Group's French factory, why would you do such a thing?" Jane raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. "You did it entirely because..."

At the same time, a clear and magnetic male voice sounded from a distance, overlapping with Jane's voice. "You did it entirely because of Madeline! Because of Love Jewelry!"

Following the voice, Jane looked towards the entrance of the conference hall.

At the sight of the familiar figure, Jane felt an instant relief.

It was Patrick!

Patrick had finally arrived!

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Patrick stepped through the entrance.

His stern features carried a hint of sharpness, and his tall, slender figure exuded an air of nobility and aloofness. He seemed like a divine being descending from the heavens, eclipsing everyone else.

"Mr. Pansy, Mr. Pansy is here!"

"Wasn't he in a coma? How did he suddenly wake up?"

"My God, it's really Mr. Pansy! He's okay!"

The crowd erupted in excitement, and all eyes were on Patrick.

A few seconds later, some people began to comprehend Patrick's words. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Madeline? Love Jewelry? Isn't that the jewelry company involved in the plagiarism scandal?"

"What's Jones's connection with Love Jewelry?"

"Could this whole thing be related to Love Jewelry?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, everyone looking at Patrick with a mix of shock and curiosity.

"In the twists and turns of the 'Ice and Fire' incident, what is the real truth?"

Under Patrick's formidable presence, the crowd automatically made way for him. Patrick walked steadily, step by step, to Jane's side.

He turned his head to give Jane a deep look, his voice carrying a touch of huskiness and gentleness. He spoke in a low, deep tone, "Jane, I'm here."

Jane responded with a faint smile, their understanding unspoken.

Meanwhile, Jones looked at Patrick in disbelief.

Wasn't Patrick crushed by the ceiling in the explosion, critically injured and unconscious?

How could he appear here unscathed at this moment!

"Patrick, how... how did you come here?" Jones, wearing a shocked expression, asked incredulously, "Aren't you in the hospital, unconscious?"

"What's the matter? Don't you want to see me?" Patrick raised an eyebrow, his gaze icy as he swept it over Jones. "Jones, I've brought you an exciting video. Let's enjoy it together, shall we?"

"Video? What video?" Jones's complexion changed rapidly, and the situation was far from what he had expected.

Unbelievably, Patrick seemed perfectly fine now. There was no sign of him being in a life- threatening condition.

In other words... was Patrick faking his previous unconsciousness?!

Patrick gestured subtly with his eyes, and Morton immediately understood. Manipulating the remote control, he played a video on the large screen in the conference hall.

The video was set in a luxurious room in a high-end hotel in France.

On the central silver bed lay a man and a woman.

The man was undoubtedly Jones, and the woman... was Madeline, the chief designer of Love Jewelry.

The two were tightly entwined. After a passionate moment, Madeline, with a seductive demeanor, spoke, "Darling, do you love me?"

"Of course, I do." Jones's eyes flickered with intense desire.

"Can you prove your love to me?" Madeline's hands, as soft as water snakes, encircled Jones's neck.

Jones nodded, "How can I prove it? I'm willing to do anything for you!"

"Really? Are you willing to do anything for me?" Madeline's eyes were sultry.

"Of course." Jones embraced Madeline. "As long as you're willing to marry me."

"Good, but you have to agree to my conditions." Madeline's gaze turned cold. "Regarding the plagiarism incident before, you should know, right?"

Jones was momentarily stunned. "You mean 'Ice and Fire'?"

Madeline bit her lip. "Exactly! That wretch Jane made me lose face! The career I painstakingly built for years was ruined, all because of Jane and Patrick!"

The thought of falling from grace, from a renowned designer to a plagiarist scorned by everyone, fueled Madeline's anger. If it weren't for Jane and Patrick, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation!

She vowed to settle this score, to repay Jane and Patrick a thousandfold, making them pay for their actions!

Jones remained silent for a moment and then spoke with determination, "Madeline, my feelings for you are clear. As long as you're willing to swallow your pride, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Madeline's eyes. Through gritted teeth, she said, "I want the 'Ice and Fire' project of Jane to fail! I want her reputation shattered, utterly defeated!"

"That's easy." Jones held Madeline tightly. "As long as I make a few moves, it will cause fatal problems in the quality of 'Ice and Fire.' I guarantee it will meet your satisfaction!"

"Darling, as long as you accomplish this, I promise to marry you!" Madeline nodded in satisfaction and leaned in to kiss Jones. What followed was an indescribable scene.

Morton quickly picked up the remote and turned off the video.

Patrick's cold eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp, icy gaze focused directly on Jones. "Jones, do you have an explanation for this?"
