Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1118

"If mom doesn't want to admit to this matter, it's fine." Amelia said calmly as she originally did not want to go deep into it.

"The Eastern District project is a turning point for the Apex Construction Corporation. This key point is very important! I once wanted to use Patrick's name to take movement in advance and ask for permission later!"

"In this way, we can get the initial investment of the government as well as the Eastern District project with minimal effort and without being restrained by Patrick. For me and the corporation, it's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!"

"However, I didn't expect someone to show the photo of Patrick's scandal off in the government hall. My plot was instantly ruined."

"Fortunately, there's always a way out. At the beginning of the auction, a reliable senior in my company introduced a mysterious investor to me."

"At that time, I didn't know that this person was actually Patrick's enemy, so I suddenly got the idea to say Sawyer's name in front of my colleagues and the government."

"From then on, the Eastern District project got into my hands! And I... had also obtained Sawyer's investment contract by accident. Until today, I only realized this when he told me that he had a fight with Patrick over a woman!"

Howard did not wait for Amelia to finish her words as he hurriedly declared, "Dad! Mom! Amelia's words seem to make things more understandable!"

Granny Hopper also took the chance and added "That's right! Looks like... Amelia being involved with Sawyer is just a careless mistake! Please don't get muddled, you old man!"

The wrinkles between Gramps Hopper's eyebrows deepened. He took a glance at Amelia. Her eyes were clear and bright. There was not a trace of guilt in them, as if she was an outsider.

He then turned to look at Patrick, whose gaze looked as if he was about to swallow Amelia alive. Be it love or hate, the clear point was that he had no room for anyone else in his eyes!

After thinking for a while, Gramps Hopper said, "Patrick, what do you think of this?"

Patrick's eyes darkened. "Everything is negotiable except for divorce!"

They were left speechless. Did this guy only care about the divorce with his wife but not about Sawyer, that b*stard at all?

Upon hearing this, Amelia quickly refuted, "I insist on divorcing."

Patrick's gaze became serious, and he started to look fierce from the middle of his eyebrows.

For the sake of her own life, Amelia moved to one side, and looked at him defensively.

"Amelia! Granny won't allow the divorce!"

Amelia's pupils trembled slightly as she looked at the person speaking. "Granny!"

Granny Hopper said slowly with earnest. "Everything is made clear. You didn't plan your collaboration with Sawyer on purpose, it happened out of circumstance! Granny knows that you're a strong, independent child. After being rejected by your mother-in-law, I'm sure that it's absolutely impossible for you to ask The Hopper Family for help again. I can understand it! For real!"

Sitting in her seat, Eve's expression changed.

Amelia opened her mouth, but she could hardly express her initial sadness and bitterness anymore. She said dryly, "Granny, thank you for understanding me.

"Then could you please understand my feelings as well and not file a divorce against Patrick?"

Amelia gritted her teeth and insisted, "Granny, this is the only matter that I can't comply with you!"

Granny Hopper fell back on the sofa feeling dejected.

Seeing this, Eve secretly gloated at the side.

Gramps Hopper slammed the floor with his crutch and said angrily, "Patrick, your wife had mentioned the divorce several times within ten minutes, but you didn't even dare to say a word?!"

Patrick yelled almost at the top of his voice, "I've said that I do not agree!"

Meeting Howard's anxious eyes, Amelia said apologetically, "Dad, things had happened. Please don't blame me."

At this moment, The Hopper Family had different thoughts. Those who knew what Amelia wanted to say were unable to stop her, whereas those who did not know what she wanted to say, were eager to listen.

And among those who wanted to listen, there happened to be Gramps Hopper, the highest authority of The Hopper Family!

Gramps Hopper acquiesced and said, "I'd like to hear what kind of scandal my grandson has incurred outside!"

Amelia nodded and said, "Even before the Apex Construction Corporation got into trouble, Patrick and his first love, Sissi had got back in contact with each other."

What...!

The crowd burst into an uproar.

There were also voices in disbelief, "That's impossible! Sissi was sent abroad a few years ago and was not allowed to step into Northville for the rest of her life!"

Amelia had said everything she wanted to say, "I don't know how the each of you used to order Sissi. I only know that Patrick went out for a long journey after the New Year. When he came back, he had a woman named Sissi right by his side! As for how they usually date in private, why don't you ask the person involved in it?"

Eve was shocked. "Patrick?! Had you really met Sissi? I don't believe it!"

Gramps Hopper immediately stopped Eve's words. He stared at Amelia and said coldly, "I've personally ordered to send Sissi away, yet you said that she had come back. Humph, that's impossible!"

It seemed that Gramps Hopper was very confident in his words. This was also one of the reasons why Sissi was not discovered after returning to Northville.

That was because Gramps Hopper firmly believed that no one dared to go against his orders. In the end, they were all taken advantage of!

Amelia said respectfully with doubt, "Gramps, it's said that each person has their own way of dealing with something. You're not in Northville. How can you know what's going on?"
