When Love Becomes a Thing of the Past (Zoey) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 32 Many Woman Around Him 

The crowd had dispersed, Patrick helped Pearl up and inquired, 

“Are you alright?” 

Pearl shook her head, 

“It’s alright sir.” 

“I’ve booked a room here. You can go wash up first. I’ll have someone buy you a new set of clothes. After then,go to the hospital. You have many injuries.” 

Pearl stared at Patrick in a daze. Although she was always clinging to Gabriella, she had never spoken to Patrick. 

Pearl thanked him with a pale face,

Okay, thank you sir.”

Patrick left the room for Pearl and went to socialize. It was a presidential suite. 

Pearl had never lived in a presidential suite. Everything thing here made her feel the life of 

the upper class. Soon, Patrick’s secretary came in with a dress. 

Pearl looked at the brand. It was an international brand. She entered the bathroom and 

took a shower. She washed away all the dirt and humiliation that Gabriella had left on her body. 

She looked herself in the mirror. Her slapped face had reddened. But that couldn’t stop hide her beauty. 

Thinking of the humiliation that she had faced, she clenched her fists. Because she came from a poor family, everyone could bully her.

She did want to live such life anymore. Now, she had the golden opportunity right in front 

Jofher. 

She wanted to be with Patrick! 

The thoughts of her becoming a Hart, and Gabriella and Olive’s step mother made her smile. 

*** 

Patrick has returned to the presidential suite after the party. He drank a lot of wine and fell 

on the bed. 

His phone rang, and it was Monica calling. He didn’t answer the call. Since the last time he 

had slapped her outside the hotel, Monica had been making trouble with him. 

Monica had the capital. I’m recent years, she had used her connections to secure Patrick 

lots of buisness deals. But he still couldn’t forget his ex–wife, and that made Monica furious. 

The phone was so loud that Patrick immediately turned it off, ignoring Monica. 

He took out his wallet and stared at the picture in it. In the photo was Olive’s mother, Trisha. 

The picture was taken on a certain summer afternoon, Trisha was sitting on wicker chair which was covered with flowers, she held a medical book. 

Olive looked so much like her. Patrick’s fingers fondly caressed every inch of Trisha’s 

eyebrows. 

Pearl walked out of the bathroom and came to the bedside. Patrick was already asleep, but 

he murmured Trisha’s name. 

Pearl reached out and took off Patrick’s clothes. Patrick though in his forties, had been exercising frequently. His muscles hadn’t slack at all, and he was mature and powerful. 

Patrick suddenly grabbed her and said, 

“Who are you?”

Pearl didn’t expect Patrick to wake up, she panicked, 

“Uncle, it’s me, I…” 

“Trisha, are you back?” 

Patrick pulled Pearl into his arms and pressed her under him. 

*** 

Olive heard about Gabriella’s violent beating of Pearl. The plastic sisters really couldn’t stand the test at all. Neither of them disappointed her. 

h 

Olive didn’t feel the slightest sympathy for Pearl. Pearl could have lived with dignity, but 

she was greedy and vain. 

Olive planned to go see Pearl, but Derrick saw her and then walked to her. 

“Olly, I finally found you.” 

“Derrick, why are looking for me?” 

Derrick grabbed Olive’s little hand and said, 

“Let’s go. I wanna take you to see someone.” 

Olive quickly avoided his pull and took a step back. 

“Derrick, you look so impatient. Don’t touch me, if you want me to go with you.” 

Derrick obviously was in a good mood, he didn’t care much about her attitude. He took his hands away from her and said, 

“Let’s go then.” 

Olive followed.

They arrived at the door of a luxurious room. Derrick pursed his lips, 

“Olive, see for yourself.” 

Olive looked into the room. There was a smell of smoke inside. They were all Los Angeles dignitaries. Several men were playing cards, amongst them was a familiar figure, Elvis 

Augustine. 

He hadn’t gone home for two days. 

There were few beautiful dressed ladies. They were the top cards of KissLand. 

Elvis also had two beauties beside him. Olive felt a needle pierce into her heart. The pain 

was not obvious, but it was so dense that her eyes turned red. 

Olive turned and ran away, not wanting to look further.
