Chapter 137: My Favorite Woman
Is Florence trying to pick a fight with her? Jane gave Florence a meaningful glance and was aboutto retort when a clear male voice came from the auction hall entrance, "Thirty million!"
Thirty million!
The bid had just increased by ten million, and the auction hall erupted in excitement.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jane furrowed her brow and looked towards the entrance.
There stood Patrick's tall figure dressed in a well-tailored suit with an emerald green tie. He exudedelegance as he walked steadily into the banquet hall.
Jane couldn't help but hold her breath. Why was Patrick here?
Soon enough, reporters swarmed around him. "Mr. Pansy, may we ask why you have come totonight's charity auction?"
Patrick replied calmly, "To do my part for charity."
"Mr. Pansy, may we ask..."
Before they could finish their question, Patrick waved his hand expressionlessly indicating that hewould not be giving any interviews.
The host's enthusiastic voice boomed over the speakers: "Mr. Pansy has raised the bid to thirtymillion! Does anyone want to continue bidding?"
"Thirty million once."
"Thirty million twice."
"Thirty million three times! No one else is bidding? Sold!"
With one final hammer strike from the host, Patrick won Jane's handmade plush cat for thirty milliondollars.
"We welcome Mr. Pansy who generously donated thirty millions dollars towards our charitablecause," announced the host as applause thundered throughout the banquet hall.
Patrick walked up onto stage at an unhurried pace while lights illuminated his tall and handsomefigure like golden rays of sunshine shining down on him - dazzlingly bright.
"We thank Mr. Pansy for his generous donation of thirty-million dollars towards our charitablecause," said The Host gesturing toward Miss Etiquette who handed over plush cat toy to Patrick.
As he took it from Miss Etiquette's hands with lips slightly curved upward; Jane recalled how shehad been arguing with Florence over this very same toy earlier – she must really like it then?
Curiosity getting better of The Host asked: "I wonder who Mr. Pansy will give Leo's masterpieceplush cat toy too?"
Patrick hooked up his lips while gazing deeply at Jane sitting in corner before clearing throat andspeaking crisply into microphone "I will give this cat toy to my most beloved woman."
Give it to my most beloved woman?
When Jane heard Patrick's words, her eyelids inexplicably twitched and a bitter taste surgedthrough her body. Patrick's favorite woman... was it Candy? Did Patrick spend thirty million to buythis cat with the intention of giving it to Candy when he found her in the future? It was so ironic,considering that she had made this cat herself!
"Wow, I wonder which lucky lady won?" The host's tone carried a hint of envy. "Is she here at thescene?"
Patrick smiled faintly but remained noncommittal as he walked offstage and headed towards Jane'sseat in the corner.
Florence couldn't help but feel excited as she watched Patrick approach her direction. Could it bepossible that he bought this cat for her? She silently prayed and kept telling herself that Patrickmust be giving it to her.
As Patrick approached Florence, her heart pounded with anticipation. She put on what she thoughtwas her most beautiful smile and spoke shyly yet expectantly: "Patrick..."
However, Patrick didn't even spare a glance at Florence; he ignored her completely and walkedstraight towards Jane's seat.novelbin
As he stood before Jane, his deep gaze fell upon her face as he handed over the cat: "Jane, this isfor you."
The mystery was solved as everyone began discussing:
"So Mr. Pansy bought it for his fiancée."
"Mr. Pansy is really devoted to his fiancée; I'm so jealous!"
...
Watching as Patrick approached closer and closer to herself step by step caused Jane's breathingto hitch involuntarily.
Did buying this cat that she had made mean that he intended on giving it to himself?
But earlier on stage when everyone was present, didn't he say that whoever received the bid wouldreceive something from him because they were his favorite woman?
Now if he gave it to me... does that mean I am his favorite woman?
What does all of this mean?
"Jane?" When seeing no reaction from Jane's side caused some creases between Patrickseyebrows.
Jane snapped out of thought mode then suppressed any small movements within herself beforecoldly stating: "I'm sorry but I don't like cats."
Being rejected publicly by Jane caused an unpleasant expression on Patricks face: "But you just bidfor one earlier?"
"I don't like them anymore." With an emotionless expression while speaking double entendre words– "I will never take something not meant for me."
After finishing speaking those words without looking back at anyone else around them or waiting forany response from others around them – simply got up then said indifferently while walking away:"Excuse me please let me pass through."

She turned and walked towards the direction of the restroom.
As he watched Jane's departing figure, Patrick narrowed his eyes and his gaze grew dim.
He knows that Jane is still angry about what happened last night.
Patrick is also very remorseful about what happened last night.
Patrick can feel that Jane has some feelings for him.
Last night on the Ferris wheel, he could feel that Jane actually liked him too.
But later, his unconscious remark of "Candy" suddenly widened the distance between him and Janeagain.
Patrick sat on the couch smoking all night. Early this morning, he went to Jane's room to explainhimself, but she was nowhere to be found.
He asked the hotel reception and found out that Jane had gone out in the middle of the night.
Patrick made some effort and finally found out that Jane is coming to the charity auction tonight.
So he immediately rushed over and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Jane and Florencearguing over this stuffed cat. Without hesitation, he took a photo of it.
He planned to confess his love to Jane in front of everyone with the help of a cat, but he didn'texpect that Jane would not appreciate it and walked away without even looking back.
This unprecedented sense of defeat makes Patrick extremely unhappy.
"Patrick, Jane is really too much." Florence said sourly as she looked at Patrick with a black face.
Patrick took a picture of the cat and gave it to Jane, igniting a raging jealousy in Florence's heart.
He declared in front of so many people that Jane was his favorite woman, which made Florenceextremely jealous.
However, what Florence didn't expect was that Jane, the uncultured country bumpkin, actuallyrejected Patrick.
I don't know if it's a strategy of luring the enemy out by showing weakness.
However, this is actually a good opportunity.
So Florence added fuel to the fire and said, "You probably don't know that Jane went to a bar andhad a date with a man last night without telling you."
Patrick's handsome face was instantly covered in frost, so cold that it made people shiver.
