Gwen was so startled that she trembled. This man is terrifying when he gets mad! Though she was extremely reluctant, she said, "Alright, Dad. I'll do it right away."

Meanwhile, Patricia was pleased when she saw Gwen so deflated.

She suddenly realized that there were ways to deal with these two women. Her grandfather loved her, so she only had to visit her grandfather often, then use him against Gwen.

Patricia couldn't help smiling, for she had the means to exact revenge now. Even though they wouldn't die because of it and wouldn't lose everything, at least they couldn't live a comfortable life anymore.

After leaving the Aniston Residence, she stood by the road as she waited for the taxi she hailed online.

She was scrolling casually on her phone when she received a phone call from Isaac.

She answered it and said, "President Arnold."

"Patricia, are you out of your mind? Why did you leave such good food untouched and go off just like that?"

When Patricia remembered the table of delicacies, she felt that it was a pity as well.

She probably couldn't afford to bring her three children there again in the next few years, for the prices at a revolving restaurant were astronomical and completely out of this world.

After she and Ryan took their seats, Ryan asked her to order the food. When she opened the menu and saw the price, she had the urge to slide under the table.

One dish cost nearly thirty thousand, and she even did a double-take at the figures. Even if she went for something cheaper, some vegetables would still cost more than five thousand a plate. This was daylight robbery.

As such, she got up and went to the bathroom. She didn't dare to order anything, nor did she have the confidence to. She couldn't take advantage of people like that, so she let him do the ordering.

Now that she thought of it, the dishes Isaac ordered must have cost hundreds of thousands. It was a great pity.

However, her three children seemed happier when they were eating KFC.

"Patricia… Patricia…"

Wondering why Patricia fell silent halfway through the call, Isaac called her a few times before she came back to her senses.

"I'm so sorry, President Arnold! We're too used to commoner food, and such premium-grade dishes feel rather out of reach."

Isaac frowned a little. The four of them were behaving oddly today. Did something happen? Could it be

that she's interested in that Ryan guy, and her two sons also approve of him?

"Miss Aniston, I'm drunk. Come and pick me up."

"President Arnold, don't you have your assistant and driver with you? Also, I'm not driving today, so I can't help you."

Isaac downed the wine in his glass, his eyes narrowing. "Since you can't come, give me Mrs. Zimmers' number, then. I think she'll be glad to pick me up, and she'll happily be my personal secretary. After all, her cooking is way better than yours."

Patricia was startled when she heard that. "Where are you, President Arnold? I'll be there right away."

The man grinned in victory, and his voice became even more alluring. Due to his slight intoxication, it was the perfect timing for him to behave stubbornly.

"The Skyscraper."

"Alright, I'll be there soon." After hanging up, Patricia looked at the time. Why isn't my ride here yet?

She was panicking now. If Josephine took her job, she'd cry a river.

At that moment, Patricia suddenly remembered how good Isaac was even though he leered at her occasionally and said some weird stuff to her.

It was probably sexual harassment at the workplace, but now that she thought about it, that was his only flaw. He wasn't very demanding of her.

He never complained about her cooking, and he could also accept the coffee she made which tasted more like a dessert. Also, whenever she was in a bad mood and showed it around him, he didn't seem to mind.

He was a really nice boss!

All of a sudden, she had this urge to grab Isaac and praise him, telling him everything good about the man.

Her ride arrived just then, so she hastily opened the door and got into the car. Then, she spoke to the driver.

"Sir, my husband is about to jump from a building, so please change the destination to The Skyscraper. Please go as fast as you can, for his life is at stake! Please, I beg you!"

Patricia was startled when she heard that. "Where are you, President Arnold? I'll be there right away."
