Chapter 55: What Do You Want

It was at that moment that Zac felt a warm niggling sensation in his heart.

But he couldn't figure out what was causing it.

Regret washed over him as he realized he had missed out on Patricia's excellent cooking during their
marriage.

At that time, he had disliked her, so he had refused to consume anything she had prepared.

Thinking back now, he thought it was such a pity that he'd rejected her food before this. When this
realization dawned on him, he couldn't stop himself from heartily partaking in the meal.

Out of the corner of her eye, Patricia noticed that Zac was enjoying the food.

Wearing a cold expression but saying nothing, she gritted her teeth and chewed the food in her mouth,
imagining she was biting into Zac's flesh.

‘I cooked this meal for myself, so why is Zac enjoying it so much? How can he be so shameless!’ After
dinner, Patricia immediately cleaned up the table and deliberately stayed in the kitchen for a while.

She didn't want Giselle to put in a good word for Zac, nor did she want to see him either.

She had hoped that Giselle would leave after realizing that she hadn't helped the situation between the
two of them.

But when she exited the kitchen, she found them happily talking and laughing about her childhood.

"Mom, it's getting late.Uncle Richard will be worried if you don't leave now," said Patricia anxiously.

She completely ignored Zac, not even sparing him a glance.



‘Why doesn't Patricia care about me at all?’ Patricia's indifference made Zac frown and stare at her.

"Don't worry. I'll stay with you tonight," said Giselle with a sincere smile.

Hearing this, Patricia was a little stunned.

Unconsciously, she looked at Zac, a frown kitting her beautiful eyebrows.

‘Is this all for Zac's sake? If mother wants to stay, would Zac also...'

"It is quite late! We should turn in for the night." His low voice confirmed her guess.

Before she could say anything, he walked into her bedroom, waggled his eyebrows as if challenging
her to contest the situation and said good night to them both.

"You can't..."

Before Patricia could finish her sentence, Zac had already shut the door with a smug smile on his face,
which only made her stamp her feet in anger.

‘Zac, you bastard!’ Looking at her daughter's face, Giselle laughed.

This was the real Patricia in front of her here.

She should always express her displeasure when angry, instead of giving others the silent treatment.

Since her bedroom was now occupied by Zac, Patricia had no choice but to share a bed with her
mother.

Fortunately, the bed in the guest room was large enough for them both, or she would have had to make
up a bed on the ground.



Thinking of this, Patricia became infuriated once again.

She hoped that a spider landed on Zac as he went to bed, keeping him up all night suffering.

"Patricia..."

Giselle's gentle voice pulled her back to reality.

Seeing her mother's embarrassed expression, she knew what her mother wanted to say.

"Mom, don't get involved in this matter between Zac and myself,"

Patricia said in a firm tone, with a hint of sternness flashing across her rigid face.

She knew how her mother thought.

Her mother believed in the old saying that ‘husband and wife for one night causes love to linger on for a
hundred nights.’ In addition, Patricia used to be enamored with Zac, so her mother would think that she
was still in love with him.

But her mother was wrong.

‘From the moment I'd lost my child, I've only held hatred in my heart for Zac, not love!’ "But, Patricia,
Zac..."

Giselle still wanted to say something, but when she saw the determination etched on her daughter's
face, she suddenly couldn't go on.

She had experienced a lot, so she could more or less see through the attitude Zac held for Patricia
tonight.

"Mom, I'm going to bed now.I have to wake up early for work tomorrow morning."



Patricia immediately put an end to that topic.

She didn't want to continue discussing Zac with her mother.

She had already made up her mind to sue Zac, and this decisive battle would start tomorrow.

Hearing this, Giselle nodded slightly and stretched out her arms to embrace her daughter.

Her lips were full of bitterness.

She felt so guilty towards her daughter.

Leaning against Giselle's chest, Patricia slowly closed her eyes.

She hadn't slept next to her mother for many years.

So, smelling the familiar scent of her mother, she calmed down and prepared herself for tomorrow's
war.

At this time, Zac was lying on Patricia's bed, tossing and turning, as sleep eluded him.

The whole room was filled with Patricia's scent, but there was no one beside him.

Feeling empty inside, he realized that something was missing! Unable to fall asleep, Zac stood up in a
fret and heaved a long sigh.

Distressed, he used his fists to pound the head of the bed from time to time.

"Patricia is not here!" said Zac in a low voice.All of a sudden, Zac clenched his fists and thumped the
edge of the bed angrily.

The spring bed sank slightly on that spot.



His face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "I won't let you succeed in your appeal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone, resting on the bedside table, suddenly rang.Zac quickly
pressed the answer button.

"Sir, everything is prepared."

The secretary's respectful voice came through the phone.

Hearing this, Zac slightly pursed his thin lips.

With a smile of victory, he said gently, "Okay, we'll proceed as planned tomorrow."

Then, Zac hung up the phone quickly.

‘I want to see how Patricia and Kareem are going to sue me now!’ On the following day, Patricia arrived
at the company early.

She was a little absent-minded that whole morning.

Nervously, she kept checking her phone from time to time as if awaiting something.

In order to make the case more impressive, Patricia and Kareem had reached an agreement.

At first, the lawyer would sue Zac, and then the media would get involved to make it a hot topic.

At that point, she would then appear in court to give a massive punch to Zac.

Even if she failed and her reputation was damaged, at least Zac's company would be affected.

So, she thought this was worth it! Noticing that something was amiss, Lily quietly asked, "Miss Su, are
you okay?" while handing her some files.



Regaining her composure, she raised her head and smiled at Lily.

"There is nothing wrong.I've been having some sleepless nights, that's all."

Noticing the tiredness on her face, Lily took it seriously and said, "Miss Sampson, you should take care
of yourself.Your health is the most important thing!"

Smiling, Patricia nodded her head slightly.

She treated Lily as a sister, so she accepted her concern happily.

After putting down the files, Lily cast a worried glance at Patricia before going back to complete her
work.

After Lily left, Patricia stopped her work.

Her beautiful face was full of anxiety, and she unconsciously looked at her cellphone.

‘It's almost noon.So, why hasn't Kareem called me yet?’ As planned, Kareem should have already set
out after they spoke on the phone this morning.

Why then...All of a sudden, Patricia had a bad feeling.

She touched the phone with her delicate finger.

After hesitating for a while, she dialed Kareem's number.

"Kareem..."

Before Patricia could say anything, Kareem rudely interrupted her.

"Miss Sampson, what do you want?"



The man on the phone gritted his teeth angrily.

Hearing this, Patricia frowned in confusion.

Her pink lips opened and closed.

When she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Kareem again.

"Miss Su, I now have reason to doubt your sincerity."

After saying that, Kareem immediately hung up the phone.

Apparently, he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Seeing this, Patricia was confused and frowned unhappily.

From Kareem's attitude, it was possible that the lawsuit had failed.Was Zac really that omnipotent?
