Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 220

Amelia touched her face and thought to herself, if this cup hit her face, it would be disfiguring.

"Eve, what are you doing!" Howard's already arguing with the visitor.

Amelia trailed off to Eve, who hadn't dropped her hand, and said somewhat incredulously, "Eve? You... you actually hit me with a glass?"

"Get out of my way!" Eve pushed Howard hard out of the way and drove a few steps towards Amelia, slapping her in the face!

"You b*tch I'm telling you, the scandalous things you and Shawn have done are known all over the world!"

Eve's eyes reddened and the slap was given with such force that the right side of Amelia's face swelled up at once.

Howard, the clerks, and the nearby customers were all stunned by the scene, but fortunately, it was working hours and few Roxxon employees had time for coffee, or else Amelia was about to face another round of gossip.

Howard yanked Eve's arm and yelled, "You're crazy! Didn't I tell you to stay home? What are you doing here?"

Eve's eyes were filled with madness, "Of course you don't want me to come to Roxxon to fool around, so you secretly asked this little goblin to come to this cafe, but who am I? I'm Patrick's own mother! I asked around at the department and they told me where the b*tch was, and if you ask me, a dog would be more honest than this woman!"

"Eve, you need to talk with respect!" Amelia couldn't contain her anger, she knew that Doris couldn't have deliberately betrayed her whereabouts, so she resented Eve's words "a dog", Eve could insult

her, but not her family and friends!

Eve saw that Amelia now had the nerve to talk back to her and was furious with Howard who was in front of her, "Let go! I need to..."

"You are going to hit me again, aren't you?" Amelia put the catch on for Eve, her right side of her face was now burning and hurting. With the slap she'd gotten from Eve earlier at Land of Fragrance, coincidentally she'd gotten slaps both her left and right side of her face, what a balance, she thought sarcastically.

Eve sneered, "You deserve it!"

Amelia looked at her and argued reasonably, "The reason I didn't dodge that slap earlier was that I knew your anger made you do it! But that doesn't mean I'm wrong and will let you torment me. Howard and I originally agreed to apologize to you when we get home tonight, but with the glass you just threw plus that slap, I think that's enough to amend me to you, I won't need to be condemned by you anymore!"

Howard had Eve's hands tied, stared at her, "If Amelia hadn't been quick enough to duck, you would have caused havoc! You go home and I'll give you a satisfactory explanation."

Eve's eyes were filled with hatred, she already hated the woman who stole her son and her husband's trust, how could she listen to Howard's advice, "I'm not going back! I'll ruin her face and see how she still ruins our family!"

As Amelia covered the right side of her face and hung her head, not knowing what to do, a reassuring figure appeared in the doorway...

Patrick, who had an appointment here to talk business with a client, got a serious look on his face when he saw Amelia, Howard and Eve.

He turned sideways and explained something first to his secretary, who nodded and took out his cell phone to make a call to temporarily alter the time of his conversation with the client.

Patrick then ordered the store's waiters to ask the customers to leave and then told the owner to close the store. The owner of the shop was a businessman who was dependent on Roxxon Corporation, so he dared not disobey him and did everything he was told.

Only after those were done did he come towards them.

The four of them took their seats.

"Mom, Dad, why are you here? " Patrick ordered a pot of herbal tea and proceeded to pour a cup each for his exasperated parents.

Amelia was pulled by Patrick to sit next to him, and for some reason, she felt safe whenever he was around. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Eve looked askance at Amelia, that look filled with annoyance, "We're here because of this b*tch and that actor!"

Amelia defended herself softly and grievously, "What I did with Shawn is just a lie, if you don't believe me, you can ask Howard or Patrick! You do know that Patrick respects you and listens to you the most, and he certainly wouldn't lie to you!"

The last words Amelia said seemed to satisfy Eve, and Eve raised her chin proudly, "Yes, my son listens to me best!"

Patrick comprehended her words, Amelia was quite smart enough to know to use him as an excuse to please his mother, and he said smoothly, "Mom, you shouldn't be misled by the reports, this is indeed a misunderstanding, and I have made plans regarding this matter that will not tarnish The Hopper Family's reputation."

Eve was skeptical. "Really?"

Patrick softened at the right time, "How can I lie to you? Look, I'll call the house driver to come to pick you up now, you just stay home and wait for my good news."

Eve nodded, "Okay, for what you say, I won't have to worry about that."

Seeing that Eve had been coaxed to stop being angry immediately by Patrick's words, Amelia was very impressed with him.

She stole a glance at Patrick, who was taking an elegant sip of his coffee, and his unassuming manner was both charming and a little proud.

Outside the cafe, Mr. Hopper and Mrs. Hopper had just gotten into the car Patrick had sent, Eve said, "I've given it careful thought. I'd rather have Patrick divorce her, after all she's having an affair with a male celebrity..."

Howard immediately interrupted her words, "No!"

"You!"

"I'm here to state one thing. Unless I die, Or else they can't divorce!"

In the face of Howard's resolute attitude, Eve was shocked. She shuddered and asked, "Why did you say so?"

Howard told a secret he's kept hidden for years: "Thirty years ago, when Roxxon was just handed over to me, but it was in financial trouble because of mismanagement, do you know who lent a helping hand?"

Eve rightfully said, "It was my family and your family who funded the assistance!"

"More than that." Howard said after a pause, "There's The Ramsay Family. Amelia's dad and I have known each other since we were young and immediately allocated me a large sum of money as soon as he heard this had happened to Roxxon, a debt of gratitude that I remembered until later when Roxxon got back on track and I paid him back the money I earned."

Eve said reluctantly, "You've already paid it back. Why keep remembering it!"
