The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Keegan continued, “Juliette has also been invited onto this cruise ship.”

Patrick pursed his lips and thought, Juliette must have come for Louis. No wonder she didn’t answer my calls. Her phone must be in silent mode, or the Vaughns have confiscated it.
Patrick’s throat tightened. “Where’s Louis?”
“What?‘ thought Louis.
A flicker of confusion crossed Keegan’s face.
Patrick said, “The Vaughn family has taken Louis.”
Keegan hurriedly said, “Our people haven’t found any trace of Louis. They must have hidden him. I’ll have someone investigate immediately.”
Patrick nodded slightly in agreement. “Don’t alert them. Louis might be in danger. Also, which room is Louis’s mother in?” “Once I’ve arranged for people to find Louis, I’ll take you to her immediately,” Keegan said.
Patrick didn’t object, taking it as agreement.
Keegan worked quickly.
It only took him three minutes to assign the personnel.
He then brought four bodyguards over and escorted Patrick to the luxurious suite where Juliette was.
As they walked past the viewing platform, they heard someone talking on the phone. The person seemed to mention the Vaughn family, and Patrick stopped.
The person was facing the sea, leaning against the railing. Even just from his back, one could sense his spirit and confidence. The wind billowed his clothes, and he brushed his short hair back.
The man was Wray, who was invited by Mason.
After Mason left the suite, Wray waited inside for a while, then came out to enjoy the sea breeze and answer a phone call. “This time, our partner is Francis Kim, a top perfumer. She is the daughter of the Vaughn family. Now Mason has come to me and wants to cooperate with us. With the addition of Francis on board, Vaughn Perfumes is a good partner.”
Upon hearing that, Patrick’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
The Vaughn family was good. They arrested Louis to exploit the value of his wife’s perfumery.
Wray in the distance continued, “Do you think Mason is a good man? His daughter Francis Kim is so powerful that he must try every means to get his daughter home and create value for the Vaughn family. We don’t care what method he uses to do this. As long as we can get Francis’s perfume works in the end.”
His tone was full of contempt and determination.

“Don’t worry, Mason’s perfume company is now in jeopardy. I will surely take this opportunity to make a fortune from bin
Wray was still talking, and his tone was excited.
“As for that Francis, who made her the daughter of the Vaughn family? She could only be exploited by Mason, the old fox?
The sea breeze was strong, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore masked their presence, Wray didn’t find Patrick and the others.
Noticing Patrick’s expression, Jixinran deliberately made a sound to attract Mr. Shen’s attention,
Wray instinctively turned his head to glance in their direction before quickly looking away again. However, he soon turned back for a second look.
His face changed when he saw it was Patrick and Keegan standing together. He hurriedly ended his phone call.
As the president of Macroft Group, Patrick faced a challenging situation, but his decisive handling of the matter showcased his capability and determination as a young entrepreneur.
Wray couldn’t help but regard him with newfound respect.
Remembering his earlier remarks about Patrick’s wife, Wray felt a tinge of awkwardness.
However, he realized Patrick’s social standing was not significantly higher than his own, so his slight unease quickly dissipated.
It was Keegan, standing beside Patrick, who made him feel nervous.
Wray thought, ‘Despite being in his early thirties, Keegan is already a special assistant to the Chairman of Clarke Group. His presence at any event signifies the Group’s involvement.
‘People are as respectful of Keegan as they are of Clarke Group.
‘Now Patrick and Keegan stand together. Could it be that Patrick has a favor to ask of Clarke Group?‘
Thinking of that, Wray looked down on Patrick even more. He thought, ‘What did it matter if I mentioned his wife earlier? I was just telling the truth.”
Wray put away his phone and walked over, respectfully extending his hand. “Hello, Keegan. It’s an honor to meet you here. This is the Clarke family cruise ship, right? Are you here to inspect the work?
“Or is Mrs. Clarke also on board? If I have the opportunity to visit Mrs. Clarke, it would be the greatest honor of my life.”
Keegan shook his hand briefly. “I’m working.”
Wray felt Keegan’s indifference, but he didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction.
However, he wanted to regain his dignity by targeting Patrick.
“Excuse me, Mr. Clarke, I was on the phone with a friend just now and mentioned your wife. But I was telling the truth, you don’t mind, do you?”
It could be said that Wray took arrogance and conceit to the extreme.
A sneer appeared on Patrick’s lips. “I don’t mind because my wife won’t be providing any perfume creations for the Vaughn family.”

Then he walked straight past Wray.
Wray was being slighted, and a flash of anger crossed his face.
He smiled at Keegan and said, “Mr. Clarke, as a newly rich aristocrat, really has no one in his eyes.”

Keegan smiled politely but distantly, “Mr. Clarke, in charge of the Clarke Group, is capable of protecting the value of his wife’s perfumer from being exploited by others.”
Then he took the four bodyguards behind him and followed Patrick’s footsteps.
Leaving Wray standing there alone, bewildered.
Wray thought, ‘What does he mean?
‘Patrick is the heir of the Clarke family?‘
‘I know Clarke Group belongs to the Clarke family, but Patrick Clarke?‘
Wray’s eyes widened
He thought again, ‘Patrick is a member of the Clarke family? Is he now in charge of Clarke Group? Since when? Why don’t I know anything about it?‘
Wray’s legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
He was done for!
In Juliette’s suite.
All she cared about now was Louis’s condition.
However, Mason was still relentlessly mocking her.
“Do you expect Patrick to come out of nowhere to save you like at the last wedding?”
That was what Mason had just said, the ultimate taunt.
Even joined the ranks of the taunters.
He sneered and said, “After all, Patrick is just an actor. What were actors in ancient times? To put it bluntly, they were just clowns who amused people!
“You are the daughter of the Vaughn family, the perfumer Francis Kim. He proposed to you on the spot when you broke off your engagement. He was reaching above himself, wanting to gain benefits from you. The funny thing is you expect him to give you love and support.”
Bianca also smiled and said, “Juliette, don’t wait any longer. Look, you’ve made Dad and Evan angry. Besides, with Patrick’s identity, he can’t save you.
“Macroft Group can’t compete with our Vaughn family. Even if it could, would Patrick offend the Vaughn family to save your Juliette, be good, and don’t make our whole family angry.”
Outside the door, Patrick heard all that, and his face turned ice cold.

When Patrick thought his wife must have been pitiful, helpless, and weak when facing such a family, his face was rahn, but his heart ached.
