Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1117

Amelia held back her tears. Under Patrick's gaze as if he was about to swallow her wholly, she said, "Sawyer's investment can't be withdrawn. I am collaborating with the government and him. A slight move in one part may affect the whole body. Besides, the contract is written in black and white, there's no turning back..."

Hearing this, Patrick said word by word, as if he was chewing his bones and said while bleeding, "As long as you kick him away! I can satisfy whatever you need!"

Amelia laughed sarcastically. She originally wanted to get rid of Patrick's control eagerly. Besides, how could such a big project like the Eastern District be trifling to the point that she could take the dominance?

She shook her head. "There's no need. I've already thought of a solution."

He was furious. "Your solution is to divorce me? Sawyer threatened you, didn't he?!"

She said in a low voice, "Sawyer didn't threaten me. I just had enough of your never-ending relationship with Sissi! You even cared about her child. It's proven that you have a place for her in your heart.

I've wanted to gratify the two of you for a long time!

Could you please... gratify me as well?"

"Don't even think about it!" Patrick was furious. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Dingdong...

Who was it?

Patrick raised his head. Through his gaze, he asked Amelia who did not look surprised.

Amelia slowed her heartbeat down and put on a calm face. "It's gramps and the others."

Patrick's eyes got focused. "You!"

Amelia said bluntly, "I called to invite them over. I'm not joking when I talked about divorce. If you don't agree, I will uncover the fact that you and Sissi had reunited, in front of all the elders of The Hopper Family."

Ding dong... ding dong...

The doorbell rang more urgently.

Patrick almost crushed her shoulder. "Amelia, do you know what you're doing?"

"Bear in mind that if you don't want me to tell them about Sissi's whereabouts, just agree to the divorce!" After saying that, Amelia turned her face away and looked to the door.

Ding dong... ding dong... ding dong...

The doorbell sounded as if it would never end, annoying Patrick so much so that he really wanted to rush forward and smash it.

In the living room.

Gramps Hopper, Granny Hopper, Howard, and Eve looked at the flipped sofa and tea table. Confusion could more or less be seen on their faces.

Granny Hopper was the first to come to her senses. She looked at Amelia, whose face was extremely pale, and asked, 'Amelia, did you quarrel with Patrick?"

Amelia glanced at Patrick. He was frozen on the spot with a livid face, as if he took her as nothing.

She had to go forward by herself and hold the hands of Granny Hopper. After that, she looked back at the other elders and said, "Gramps, granny, dad, and...mom, I invited you over on the phone because I have something to tell you. Please mind your steps. Let's have a seat and talk about it."

"I see..." Granny Hopper nodded without knowing what had happened.

Gramps Hopper said in a deep voice, "Don't just stand there, sit down!"

They avoided the mess on the ground and sat down one after another. Howard suddenly asked with concern, "Amelia, why was your hand hurt as well?"

Amelia lowered her eyes slightly and avoided his question. "Dad, that's not the point."

"Sawyer Quartley!?" After hearing Sawyer's name, Eve acted like a released spring. Without even thinking, she pounded the table and stood up, "Amelia, you've actually gotten involved with The

Hopper Family's enemy!"

Amelia looked at Eve emotionlessly like a stranger. "Yes, Sawyer is the investor of the Apex Construction Corporation. Being able to win the Eastern District project was all thanks to him."

When Patrick heard this, a voice sounded in his heart. Amelia was really ready to risk everything this time.

Eve also felt a deep anger and said absurdly. "What? Your father's company was in trouble, and you did not consider The Hopper Family but seek help from our enemy? Amelia oh Amelia, what could I say to you!"

Gramps Hopper frowned and looked at Eve who had lost her manners. He said in a low voice, "Eve, calm down, sit down first."

Howard stretched out his hand and pulled Eve back to her seat.

"What are you doing? I'm asking for justice for Patrick!"

Not wanting to bother with Eve's questioning, Howard turned to Amelia and asked, "Amelia, what's going on? How did you get involved with Sawyer?"

Amelia's gaze slid across Eve's face. "Mom asked me just now why I chose to seek help from The Hopper Family's enemy, right? Let me answer this question first..."

"As soon as the Apex Construction Corporation got into trouble, I went to visit dad once to ask for financial support. At that time, mom and two other servants waited at the door in advance. But as the door was opened, I didn't get to see dad. Instead, I received two buckets of cold water. The two buckets of cold water were enough to extinguish the fire in my heart that used to be burning hot!"

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Howard pointed angrily at Eve and gritted his teeth, "How could you do such a thing to hit Amelia when she is down?"

After Eve was stunned for a moment, she denied in a hurry, "Amelia, you...don't try to make irresponsible remarks! There is no such thing!"
