Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 972

Amelia was speechless. Patrick was so violent and utterly unreasonable! But still, she could not deny that this was a good way to relieve her anger!

At this moment, Owen suddenly let out a soft laugh, enabling Amelia to detect a trace of cruelty. "What's more, in addition to Kingston's eldest daughter, his only son is still studying in Dallas. Guess who possesses the most power there? I don't think I would have to tell you this, right?"

As soon as Owen finished speaking, someone flashed across Amelia's mind, Gramps Hopper!

She breathed heavily. Owen was trying to tell her that Patrick tried to threaten Kingston by using the successor of the Gordon Family empire! He was practically holding Kingston by the neck, forcing him to admit defeat!

In all honesty, Amelia felt that this kind of method that involves other's loved ones was truly cruel and shameful.

But when it was used on a nemesis who was on the opposite end of the battleground, Amelia had no choice but to admit that this feeling was indeed very satisfying!

As she was still caught up in her thoughts, Owen added slowly, 'Amelia, Patrick was extremely busy for the whole of yesterday. He continuously declined his calls although his cell phone rang countless times.

Patrick must've lost businesses and profits with regards to this issue, though I couldn't ascertain the value as an outsider.

Despite that, considering the scale of Roxxon Corporation, anyone could predict that the losses weren't small. That's why I believe that the person you should be grateful to the most is Patrick."

Amelia hesitated for a while and tried to change the topic. "But Owen, you have also helped me a lot!

Don't forget that you led the team almost every day to C River to keep an eye out for me!

Besides, the suspect was also arrested by you and your team members, right?"

It sounded like Amelia was trying to persuade herself rather than Owen, so that she could further suppress her feelings for Patrick.

Owen explained, "Amelia, maybe you don't understand that there are certain things that I can't handle as a civil servant.

I can't consciously go against the law. If news broke out that I ever threatened a legal citizen, even my grandfather is unable to protect me with his power.

Only Patrick has the strength and capacity to carry out these evil deeds for you."

"To carry out these evil deeds for you..."

Amelia felt a tingling sensation on her nose as if she was about to cry.

After a while, she let out a muffled 'hmm', indicating that she had heard and understood what Owen had said.

He continued, "I noticed that Patrick didn't look well yesterday. I also know that you had work to do, so I asked Nora to deliver you some home-cooked meals. It's almost time. She should be nearing your company's building by now."

Amelia was confused. "Owen, wait a minute! You said Nora will be coming to my place?"

Owen replied, "Yes, I'm a little tied up right now so I won't talk any further. That's it. Let's contact each other later."

"Okay...sure." Just as Amelia's voice faded away, Owen hung the call.

Observing Amelia's blank expression after the call, Jonathan could not help but ask, "Amelia, what happened?"

He had to call out to Amelia twice for her to finally come to her senses. With a perplexed expression, she informed him, "Uncle Tucker, someone had already settled the matter of C River for the company."

Jonathan's eyes lit up. "Who was it?!"

Amelia lacked confidence as she replied. "It's my husband."

"So, it was him!" Jonathan was surprised.

Amelia shot him a wry smile. "Uncle Tucker, you also think it's miraculous, don't you? The same man whose scandalous pictures that almost destroy me in the governmental hall actually settled this matter for me..."

Jonathan sobered up and lovingly patted the back of her hand. Affectionately, in the tone of an elder, he reassured Amelia, "When a man is willing to stand up for you, this proves that your marriage is still intact. Let's be optimistic. How can the vibrant world compare to the comfort of home?"

Amelia lowered her eyes slightly, with-holding herself from telling him about the woman who was involved in the scandal with Patrick. The woman was not just an ordinary person in this vibrant world, but the mole on his heartline which could not be erased nor destroyed.

If Amelia remained married to Patrick and had to endure and watch how much he cared for Sissi from time to time, Amelia was sure that she would suffer

from a mental breakdown sooner or later.

Owen's words reverberated in Amelia's ears. Not only did Amelia feel like she had survived a disaster, but that she also had a clearer understanding of Patrick's methods.

If she was in Kingston's position, then she would be...

Amelia felt a chill run down her spine.

At this moment, her cell phone rang again.

Amelia looked down and saw that it was Nora who called.

Calming herself down, she accepted the call. Placing her phone close to her ear, she greeted, "Nora."

Nora asked, "Amelia, which floor is your office located in? It appears that your receptionist is nowhere to be found."

Amelia busily notified her which room and the floor she was on.

"Alright, wait for a moment. I'll be right there."

"Okay, Nora..." Amelia was in a trance, as if she had a feeling that everyone seemed to know what she had gone through.

After hanging up, Amelia blinked and glanced back at Jonathan. "Uncle Tucker, I have something to deal with now. How about you stay here and finish your cup of tea, I'll be waiting for you at the door..."

"No! Don't!" Jonathan blurted hurriedly, "There's no need for me to sit in for a drink anyway. I'm just here to inform you about the change with regards to the Environmental Protection Bureau. Now that I'm done, it's time for me to head back to work." © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Amelia took the opportunity to ask further, "Uncle Tucker, should I take the opportunity to meet this group of people?"

She did not even bother to mention the word "leader". They are a group of people who were only interested in what benefitted them. They were even more corrupted than unscrupulous businessmen!

Jonathan answered with a smile, "Amelia, I don't think there's any urgency for you to meet them. They've bothered you for such a long time, I reckon that it's high time for them to be anxious now."

Amelia smiled slyly. "Uncle Tucker, that was what I'm thinking of as well!"

Jonathan had just left when Audrey returned with two cups of tea.

The tea was good, but since Jonathan had left for work, Audrey began to doubt that she did not carry out her task properly.

She stood at the door and asked with a sad face, "Amelia, am I late again?"

How unlucky she was! Every time she was tasked to prepare some tea, she had to bump into such incidents. Amelia should blame her for not being competent enough, right?

Amelia looked at Audrey and replied with a slight smile, "No, another distinguished guest is coming. Just leave the tea here and I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay." Audrey sounded, relieved. Then she put the tea in the tea down and turned to leave.

As soon as Nora stepped out of the elevator, she caught sight of Amelia waiting outside. She could not help but chuckle, "Thank you for coming out to welcome me personally, Amelia. I'm really flattered."

"Nora! Don't make fun of me please. I'm just an ordinary worker here."

Amelia's gaze fell onto Nora's hands as she continued, "So this was what Owen told me on the phone. Are these what you brought for me?"

Nora nodded. "Yes, but more accurately, I brought them for you and Patrick. These are all the home-cooked dishes that you all love."
