According to Howard's words, could there be some secrets behind Amelia taking over her father's company?
Thinking of this, Gramps Hopper looked at Amelia with a slightly different gaze.
No matter what the reason was, it was by no means easy for a young lady to take over a company!
At this moment, Gramps Hopper stopped his intention to argue with Patrick. He waved his hand and said, "In that case, you can go back to the Land of Fragrance!"
Upon hearing this, Amelia said with a smile, "Thank you, gramps!"
Gramps Hopper said in a rough voice with slight embarrassment, "Why are you thanking me? There's nothing to thank for!"
Amelia kept smiling and said, "Thank you for willing to hear my explanation."
Gramps Hopper looked expressionless, but he actually felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. "Humph, I just don't want to be together in a room with someone!"
Seeing that Gramps Hopper was looking at him meaningfully, Patrick said calmly, "Gramps, I'm glad to have reached a consensus with you for the first time."
"You!" Gramps Hopper's anger immediately seemed to rise again.
Amelia touched her nose and said smartly, "Patrick, I'll wait for you in the garage."
After a pause, she turned to Gramps Hopper and Howard and said, "Gramps, dad, I'll visit you again next time. I'll have to leave first. Rest well."
Gramps Hopper kept on staring at Patrick, ghastly that he ignored Amelia's words for the moment.
Howard, on one hand, had to prevent Gramps Hopper from raging, while he said to Amelia. "Be safe on the way and come visit us when you have time."
"I got it, dad." Amelia did not have expectations of Howard sending her off. After all, the conflict between his father and his son was already hard enough for him to handle.
Amelia faintly glanced sideways at Patrick. When he looked back at her, she walked away without saying a word.
Patrick's eyes got bright, and he chased after her without even thinking.
And this was exactly what Amelia wanted!
Once she left, Patrick would most probably catch up. She had definitely known him well!
As soon as Patrick left, Gramps Hopper suddenly had no one to be mad at. This made Howard let out a sigh of relief.
"Hmm, where are Patrick and Amelia?"
On the other side, Nora and the others, who had just finished paying Florence, looked back to the sofa and found that Amelia and Patrick were nowhere to be seen.
Florence who had a keen sense of hearing heard the words and immediately said, "They have already gone home."
"To the Land of Fragrance?" Nora asked uncertainly.
"Yup. If not, where else could it be?" Florence said with a laugh.
Granny Hopper was so worried that she frowned. "It's already so late. Why are they going back to the Land of Fragrance instead of staying here?"
Florence consoled her and said, "Granny, as the saying goes, home is home, be it ever so humble... But Land of Fragrance is not humble as well. Ah! You know what I'm trying to say anyway!"
Seeing that Granny Hopper was frowning, Nora knew it was partially because she did not want her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, whom she had just met, to leave so soon. Nora said very considerately, "Granny, why don't we gather again on weekends?"
Seeing that her suggestion had attracted
Granny Hopper was not informed either. But what did Granny Hopper say after that?
Not only did she not bother about it at all, but she even expressed a deep reluctance towards their departure.
Whereas Granny Hopper's attitude towards Eve was pure indignation!
At the same time, Howard had assisted
Gramps Hopper who was angry to go to the sofa and sit down. "Dad, didn't you want to know about Amelia and the Apex Construction Corporation? Why don't I tell you now?"
Hearing this, Gramps Hopper managed to control his anger towards his rude grandson Patrick and said, "Fine!"
Howard then told him the basic information he knew.
Of course, if he had known in advance that Amelia had come to borrow money from the family, but was instead rejected coldly by Eve, he would have been even more moved than he was now. "This is what happened. However, I believe that the main responsibility of this matter is on Daniel Phillips! He is Amelia's brother-in-law. But he ended up in jail after this mistake. So Amelia was the only one left to bear all the infamy and blame."
After listening to him silently, Gramps Hopper asked, "Upon such misshapen on her, did that br*t help her?"
Howard knew well who 'that br*t' was referring to. He thought for a moment and said, "I didn't asked in details while Patrick did not mention it either. But I think that the husband and wife would surely help each other."
If Amelia got to hear Howard's words, she would probably have goosebumps all over her body. She would already be grateful if Patrick did not mess up with her. How could she expect him to help?
"It's great if they help each other!"
Gramps Hopper said while glancing at Howard, "If your in-laws are in trouble, you have to offer assistance when you need to!"
"Sure, dad." Howard nodded.
