Chapter 184
Patrick couldn’t forgive himself for his moment of weakness last time,
So this time, he waited for “Shac” to appear, came up behind her, and without waiting for her to speak or looking at her eyes,
he stabbed her.
He wanted her dead.
Patrick held the handle of the knife, wanting to twist it and give her a swift death. After all, she was Louis‘ mother, and this was his last act of mercy toward her.
“But why is she crying? Why is Shae crying? Does she finally learn to cherish life in the face of death? Shae’s crying isn’t exactly a rare occurrence. Everyone cries. But the way she is crying… Why can’t I bring myself to stab her? Let alone rotate it one more time? Patrick thought.
Juliette gripped his hand with all her might, not allowing him to pierce her again, or she would die.
To die like this would be too humiliating, too unjust.
Juliette… Juliette said her name first, only to make the man in front of her frown even more with murderous intentions.
She gasped heavily, finally gathering enough strength to add. “I, I’m Juliette.”
Patrick froze. What is she talking about?”
It was a completely unfamiliar face!
Not far away, Thora’s mind went blank when she saw Patrick stab Juliette, her mouth agape.
It was only then that she came back to her senses and shouted tearfully, “She’s Juliette, Juliette. Don’t kill her!”
Patrick shuddered and wrapped one arm around Juliette’s shoulders, his other hand reaching out to feel the skin around her
neck.
Juliette slipped into his arms, her wet eyes staring at him. “You’re aiming for my heart.”
Patrick’s hand trembles in. He didn’t speak, but from the sound of her voice, he was sure it was Juliette in his arms.
At the same time, his hand touched the thin layer of skin protruding from her neck, and his hand trembled even more violently.
He didn’t even dare to tear off the fake skin.
Juliette tore off the fake skin herself, revealing her true appearance.
“How… How could it be you?” Patrick’s pupils shook as he stared at the scene in disbelief. “I want to kill Shae, not you. How could you be her?”
Juliette frowned in pain, blood flowing uncontrollably. She grasped the hilt of the knife, blood quickly overflowing from between her fingers.
“I’m not her. I’m just Juliette. What hatred do you have with her? You’ve tried to kill her twice. You want her dead on the spot.”

Chapter 184
Patrick shuddered again.
So, the person at the bar last time was her too. I actually hurt her twice, once with a bullet and once with a blade.
Patrick’s eyes turned bloodshot.
The scene fell silent, only a gentle breeze blowing.
Juliette heard Patrick talking about his past.
He said that five years ago, before he created Macroft Group, he was still too young and inexperienced. He was tricked into boarding a luxury cruise ship where he was drugged.
At that time, his grandparents always wanted him to go back to the Clarke family and made him many solemn promises, including grooming him to be the heir of Clarke Group.
Eloise panicked and planned to marry her niece to him, so that he would become one of the Anderson family and Eloise could control him.
So, that night, it was Eloise who drugged him for her niece and even locked him in a room with her.
Before he completely lost his mind, he smashed the door and ran. Because Eloise’s people were chasing him from behind. he kept running forward.
It’s very possible that he was just walking, but he felt like he was running, only at a speed that resembled a drunkard stumbling forward.
He was so preoccupied with escaping that he didn’t notice a hand reaching out from the darkness and pulling him back, his strength already at its limit…
Then she straddled him forcefully.
His taut string completely snapped, his sanity lost.
When he woke up, he saw a woman straightening her clothes in the light outside, her exposed legs covered in charming red
marks.
And he knew that
n was Shae.
Shae had her eyes on him from the moment he boarded the ship, and after he was tricked by Eloise, Shae took advantage of his vulnerability.
And so, the seed of killing Shae was planted in his heart.
As Louis grew up, that seed grew into a towering tree, and he would never allow Louis to meet such a dishonorable mother
in the future.
Therefore, Shae must die.
This was the source of all of Patrick’s hatred and murderous intent toward Shae.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you. Otherwise, I would rather kill myself than lay a finger on you. But why would you disguise yourself as her and appear here?” Patrick’s voice was soft, but full of despair.
Tve lost my memories from when I was eighteen, and I came here to search… I thought that by disguising myself as Shae, I could successfully find…

Chapter 184
Juliette’s long eyelashes fluttered, and she sighed.
“Patrick, there’s something I have to tell
you.
Juliette felt like her lips weighed a thousand pounds, making it almost impossible to speak, but she still bravely said, “The person who pulled you into the darkness that night wasn’t Shae, it was most likely…. me.”
Patrick was stunned again. He couldn’t believe what Juliette was saying and thought he had heard wrong.
“What are you saying?” he asked.
“I had a dream that I died, and you brought Louis to collect my remains, just ashes, of course. And that garden to bury me in.
you built a beautiful
“The night of my grandmother’s birthday banquet, after I saved Louis, I secretly took some of his hair and had a paternity test done. He is my son
Patrick was speechless for a long time, his lips trembling violently.
“Really? You really did a paternity test? He really is your son? You’re not lying to me? His mother isn’t that wicked Shae?”
Patrick asked
“He really is my son, not Shae’s.” Juliette gave him a definite answer.
Patrick was filled with ecstasy. Louis‘ mother wasn’t Shae, the woman he had slept with five years ago wasn’t Shae either.
Juliette felt something warm fall on the back of her hand, washing away the blood.
Only then did Juliette notice that Patrick’s eyes were red, and he was actually crying. He was smiling, but his expression looked infinitely sad.
“But I hurt you, darling. Don’t be afraid, I’ll bandage your wound now. I will stop the bleeding first, then I’ll take you back. You’ve lost too much blood.”
Patrick put Juliette on the ground, let go of her hand, and tore open her clothes. He didn’t dare to move the knife, fearing that the blood would spurt out if he pulled it out.
Xavier had let go of Thor and the two came over together. Thora squatted beside Juliette, looked at the blood all over her body, and cried.
“Juliette’s last injury from you hasn’t healed yet. Mr. Clarke, why did you stab her again?” Thora asked tearfully.
Patrick couldn’t answer, but he felt hopeless. He pulled himself together, because Juliette still needed him.
Xavier frowned and asked, “Is she really Juliette?”
“Yes.” Patrick’s answer was decisive and forceful.
He stretched out his hand toward Xavier, “Give me the hemostatic and painkillers”
