Chapter 69: Mother In Danger

"I don't know who the sender is, Miss Sampson."

Lily took out the small card and handed it to Patricia.

"There is nothing written on the card, but the sender of the flowers asked me to give this to you."

As soon as Lily finished speaking, she handed a small bag to Patricia.

When Patricia saw the familiar design of the bag, she was stunned for a moment.

After one minute, she regained her senses and asked anxiously, "Lily, what else did this person say?"

Gripping the bag tightly, she anxiously looked at Lily.

This bag was part of her mother's personal belongings, but it wasn't anything precious.

It was a bag she had used when she was a child and she then gave it to her mother before her mother
left the Sampson family's house. However, seeing the bag in someone else's hand made Patricia's
heart leap into her throat.

She was suddenly fraught with worry for her mother.

"Well..."

Lily was so alarmed by Patricia's expression that she momentarily forgot everything that had
happened.

Then remembering the roses in her hand, she handed them over to Patricia.

"The sender said that you would understand their meaning once you saw the pink roses."

Patricia's eyes widened in shock when she heard that statement.



Looking at the pink roses, a thought popped into her mind.

Quickly standing up, she made her way out of the office, saying, "Lily, if the president comes looking for
me, can you tell him that I've stepped out to handle something?"

Before Lily could respond, Patricia had disappeared out of the doorway.

‘Mom, I hope you are safe and sound.I won't let anything happen to you!’ she thought.

Her mother was her only family in the world.She wouldn't let anything bad happen to her! Pink roses...

If she remembered correctly, there was a rose garden in Okmore, filled with a wide variety of roses.

Her mother had taken her there once when she was a child.

This was when she had fallen in love with pink roses.

Stepping on the gas, Patricia sped out of the Veyron Corp.'s parking lot and made her way over to the
rose garden.

Zac, who was on his way to the Veyron Corp., became confused when he noticed Patricia's car exiting
the premises.

He had come here specifically to see her, but since she was no longer there, he had no intention of
setting foot into the Veyron Corp anymore.

"You will go and talk about the contract with the president of the Veyron Corp in my stead,"

Zac ordered coldly, casting a quick glance at his secretary.

He figured something must have spooked Patricia.



Otherwise, she wouldn't have left the company during working hours like this.

Having been with her for so long, Zac knew how responsible, meticulous she was about her work. He
began to wonder what had happened to prompt her to leave so suddenly.

He wanted to catch up with her and ask her about that.

Hearing Zac's words, the secretary nodded respectfully but felt dejected.She wasn't blind.

How could she not understand what Zac meant to do? Moreover, after seeing Patricia's car speed by,
there was no doubt in her mind that Zac was going to chase her. Hurriedly, she exited the vehicle.

Before she could properly turn around and ask Zac a question, Zac had driven the car away.

Seeing this, his secretary shook her head helplessly and made her way into the Veyron Corp..

Zac kept on Patricia's tail.

But every time he had almost caught up to her, he was blocked by ongoing traffic.

Rage built up in him until he wanted to hit those cars aside so that he could easily reach her vehicle.

Suddenly, Patricia made a right turn.

Stepping on his gas, Zac tried his best to catch up to her.

Unfortunately, he was stopped by a red light.

Due to his anger and impatience, he decided to speed through the red light, but he had lost sight of
Patricia's vehicle by then.

"Damn it!" Zac punched the steering wheel angrily.



He wished he could have pulled down the traffic light that made him stop at such a critical moment.

He looked around eagerly, searching for Patricia’s car, but to no avail.

Concurrently, the police whistled and quickly approached Zac's car.Spotting the police, Zac's temper
skyrocketed.

Slapping the steering wheel angrily, he roared, "Damn it! Where on earth is Patricia?"

During that time, Patricia had arrived at the rose garden.

Sitting in the driver's seat, she took a deep breath.

Grasping the small bag tightly, she trembled in fear.The rose garden was massive, so Patricia knew it
would take some time to locate her mother.

All the while, she was wondering what the person who had sent her the roses was scheming.

The more she thought about it, the more her mind ran blank. "I shouldn't think too much on this
matter.Let me rescue my mother first!"

Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, Patricia exited the car and frantically made her way into the
rose garden.

"Mom, are you there?"

As she shouted, she observed her surroundings carefully.

Now more than ever, she needed to be vigilant.

But she couldn't help frowning in confusion.



Although the rose garden was open to the public, it was generally a quiet place.

Today, however, it was eerily quiet.Not a soul could be seen.

Even the staff members seemed to be missing in action.The more she thought about it, the more
frightened she became.

It felt like she had entered a long winding alley and couldn't make her way out.

The next moment, she heard a faint voice.She concentrated on the sound she had heard.

Startled, she realized that it was her mother's voice.She hastily made her way to where the sound had
originated.

To her dismay, she found Giselle lying in the flowering shrubs, barely breathing.

As shocked as she was to see her mother like this, Patricia still managed to squat down and help her
up.

"Mom, what happened to you?"

Anxiously, Patricia gave her mother a once over and realized that she had only suffered some skin
trauma.

No other injuries were visible on Giselle.Hearing Patricia's voice, Giselle's eyes flew open, and she
gazed worriedly at Patricia.

Grabbing Patricia's wrist tightly, she whispered hoarsely, "Patricia, hurry up and leave this place."

"Mom, you don't need to be afraid anymore.I am going to get you out of here."



Patricia bent down and held Giselle's hand tightly.

A sense of relief washed over her now that she had found her mother.

Fortunately, her mother was not seriously injured.

This meant that the flowers she had received were only a warning and not yet a threat.

At this time, Patricia had assumed that Giselle was being bullied by the Lowell family.

After all, this type of event had happened before to her mother.

So, it wasn't hard to believe that they had deliberately harmed Giselle while she was taking a stroll
through the rose garden.

"Leave me alone, Patricia.Get out of here.It's too dangerous for you here,"

Giselle muttered, nervously looking around.

She was hoping that Patricia would leave there as soon as possible.

Obviously, Patricia had misunderstood what Giselle meant, so her mother's expression confused her.

Just as she was about to ask her about what she'd said, Giselle suddenly shouted, "Watch out,
Patricia!"

Before Patricia could react, an outstretched hand from someone behind her covered her mouth,
rendering her unable to scream for help.

Just as she was about to put up a fight, she was hit directly in the face with a burst of fragrance.

Dizzy, Patricia felt her vision blurring.



Before everything went blank, she saw her mother's mouth moving as if she was saying something, but
Patricia couldn't hear a word of it.

Her body was quickly becoming numb and weak all over.

Then shaking her head slightly, she passed out.

Looking at Patricia's unconscious body, Giselle struggled to get up from the ground.

Her gaze rested upon the persons in front of her, her hatred for them apparent.

Angrily, she said, "Yolanda, I have given you Sullivan and the Sampson family.Why are you not content
with that? Why do you feel the need to still hurt my daughter?"

There was a trace of sadness in Giselle’s angry tone.

‘Why must my daughter suffer so much? She have already left the Sampson family, but why are
Yolanda and her daughter still bullying her?’ Giselle's words pissed Lyndsy off.

Looking down at Giselle, she kicked Patricia in the stomach and angrily said, "This bitch is
monopolizing all of Zac's time.For that, she needs to be punished!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she tried to kick Patricia again, but Giselle stopped her.
