"But..." Nora hesitated.
"No huts, just look at what I can do!" Amelia patted her chest confidently and raised her head from Nora's shoulder. She then said to Patrick, "Give me a minute, I still have something to settle!"
Good heavens!
Yvette was shocked. She could not believe that Amelia would talk to Patrick like this!
"What's the matter?" Patrick asked. He did not show any unpleasantness maybe because he was guilty.
Amelia was originally too lazy to talk back, but she suddenly changed her mind when she glanced at Yvette's surprised face.
She pointed at Yvette who was still in a daze and said, "I was tripped by this teacher."
Patrick's glance followed Amelia's words and landed coldly on Yvette whom he did not bother to pay attention to since he entered the mansion. He was giving out a dangerous aura.
In front of Patrick, Yvette could not help but bow her head and greeted him, "Mr. Hopper."
She spat out the words clearly and her voice was soft. It was undoubtedly very likeable to use such a voice to read to children but to use it on Patrick, it was a waste of effort!
With just one glance, Patrick fixed his gaze on Amelia again and asked, "Why did she trip you?"
Amelia said in a high tone, "She's trying to trouble me."
Yvette let out a cry of innocence from her mouth. "I didn't!"
Glancing at Patrick's emotionless face, tears rolled down from Amelia's cheek, "You may ask Nora and Huxton whether she did anything or not."
Without waiting for Nora to open her mouth, Huxton replied first, "Yes, she did!"
Amelia let out a smile as justice was by her side.
"See, even Huxton said so."
"Mr. Hopper, I didn't do anything!" Seeing that Amelia and his servant were about to turn the wrongs into rights, Yvette was so anxious that she burst into tears. She looked rather pitiful.
A normal man would have given her a chance to explain herself even if he was not planning on going soft on her. But guess what did Patrick said?
"If that's the case, just dismiss her then!" 'Just dismiss her then!' Amelia who seemed to have heard a heavenly voice said happily, "Mr. Hopper, you are the best!"
Patrick was in dazed as he was staring at Amelia's sweet and gentle smile.
However, Yvette was so mad that she almost went nuts, "Who are you to decide whether I stay or leave, Madam Watson hasn't said anything yet!"
Amelia shook her head secretly. "How could Yvette be teaching etiquette when she herself was so thick faced? Does she really wants to be chased away instead?"
Patrick's brows furrowed. He was more sensitive to threats compared to Amelia!
As for Yvette, she had dug her own grave by saying that. Patrick then replied, "Don't worry, I'll personally explain it to mom, there's no need for you to worry about it."
Yvette felt a lump in her throat as she suddenly realized who she was talking to! This person seemed to have been offended by her...
But if she left, all the efforts she had made would go in vain. Yvette suddenly thought of something and said, "Mr. Patrick, if I were to leave like this, Andrew and Ashley will definitely be sad. Can I wait till I see them for the last time before I leave? Please, Mr. Hopper."
When the time arrived, she would cry in front of Andrew and Ashley. With the love of the two kids for her, they would definitely cry and cause a nuisance just to stop her from leaving.
She could then take advantage of the situation and use the children to turn the spearhead towards Nora
But the reality was not how she had imagined. Patrick was here to pick up his wife, so he was not in the mood to listen to anyone's nonsense. Hence, he decisively took out his phone and made a phone call.
Moments later...
Patrick said, "Mom, I don't like Andrew and Ashley's family teacher. Can I dismiss her?"
Patrick was really wayward.
Amelia and the others went into a chaotic state.
Although Eve pampered Patrick son very much, she still asked the reason as things happened out of a sudden.
Patrick said casually, "Oh, it's because she was seducing Owen."
On the way to the Apex Construction Corporation, Amelia glanced at Patrick from time to time. She was as curious as a cat.
At last, she could not hold it in any longer. "Hey... how did you know that she was trying to seduce Owen? Have you met her before?"
Patrick looked forward steadily and said, "My name isn't 'hey'."
Amelia's face went wrinkled as Patrick's words choked her. She just could not call him Mr. Hopper after what he did to her the previous night.
However, she was anxious to know the truth, so she had to call his name. "Patrick, can you please tell me why?"
Patrick curled his lips and wanted to correct her for calling his name in such a strange tone. However, when he saw her eyes shining with the desires of obtaining knowledge, he held back his thoughts and said, "I'm just making up a random excuse, I've only heard of her once from Owen."
At first, Amelia wanted to praise him for being so wise and heroic but since she heard what he said, she went speechless. "Did you just made it all up?" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Yeap."
"How could you be so accurate at making things up?!"
Patrick's expression turned solemn. "Are you saying that that girl is really seducing Owen?"
Amelia nodded heavily and said, "A few days ago, didn't Nora came to the Land of Fragrance as a guest. In fact, she came here to discuss this matter with me. We even asked Florence for a solution!"
Patrick's glance darkens. "So that's what it is."
"However, no matter how clever Florence's idea is, it was not as effective as one sentence you said. If I had known this earlier, we would have told you about it and Nora wouldn't have to be troubled for so long." Because Patrick had done a good job, Amelia's tone was finally a little softer.
Patrick was very happy to be praised by his wife but he pretended to be unfathomable. "You women always think you're smart? To deal with such a woman it's a taboo to do it slowly, by doing so you are giving her a chance to bite back at you."
"So what's your suggestion?"
"Deal with it immediately!"
Amelia looked at the man next to her, with a complex look in her eyes.
At Apex Construction Corporation.
Huxton, who had been driving stepped on the brake and turned to remind Amelia. "Madam, we are here at your office." "Alright." When Amelia was about to loosen the seat belt, Patrick grabbed her hand out of a sudden.
She give him a glance to ask what he was trying to do.
Patrick then asked uneasily, "Ahem! You're wearing a pleated skirt... Where did you get it?"
Amelia said without thinking, "I borrowed it from Nora."
Sure enough!
Patrick knew that his memory would not be wrong!
When he spoke again, his tone was more patient. "Do you know who bought this dress for Nora?"
