"You want evidence, right?" Patrick took out a recording pen from his pocket and said, "The owner of the newspaper publisher provided me with this audio. You may listen to it carefully..."
As he said, he pressed the play button.
Hearing the voice in the audio was exactly the same as hers, Amelia's face seemed deathly pale. "That's impossible, someone is deliberately imitating my voice!"
Patrick's gaze was mocking, and his words were hurtful. "You may deny the truth about this recording. What about the photo of you standing close with Sawyer and Abner in front of your house? Are you going to say that someone else purposely edited it to frame you as well!"
Amelia smiled bitterly and said, "Do you also think that we're being close in the picture?"
The two, who had slept with each other for so long, who had entrusted each other even with their lives, were only left with endless doubts and hatred in the end.
Seeing how pitiful she looked as if she had been wronged, Patrick's heart almost softened. However, he soon remembered how she had treated Sawyer and Abner enthusiastically!
She had held Sawyer's son in her arms with a smile bloomed on her face. She was so gentle that it was intoxicating!
He finally could not hold his anger that he approached her. "Didn't you disclose the past to the newspaper publisher and reveal the photo of you being close with Sawyer and Abner just to humiliate me and the Hopper Family? So that I can sign the divorce agreement that you're holding right now under public pressure!"
Hearing his criticism coming one after another, Amelia asked while her heart was broken, "Am I such a scheming person in your heart?!"
Patrick's anger did not diminish. "You're more than that. In order to achieve your goal, you've already been completely shameless!"
Amelia held the folder so tightly that her hand turned pale, "I'm being shameless? Patrick, who is more shameless, you or me?"
"Have I wronged you? In order to let the elders be on your side, you even lied that Sissi's unborn child is mine, just to increase your bargaining chip to divorce me! I've just torn a few of your divorce agreements, and you came up with such a dirty
trick..."
Infuriated, Patrick could not help but held Amelia's wrist. He pulled her under his nose and growled, "Tell me, is there anything else that you, Amelia Ramsay, wouldn't dare to do?"
Amelia's heart ached as if it was stabbed by a knife.
After a long while, her lips trembled as she spoke, "Yes... In order to get a divorce, I will do whatever it takes to oppose you, alright? You've already got the answer you want. Can you leave now?"
This was how it felt like, she had lost all hopes!
In Patrick's heart, she was indeed such a person after all!
In the face of the audio and photos, she was unable to defend herself, so she just let it be...
She had finally admitted it herself, but Patrick was not happy at all!
He said surly, "You're so selfish! Have you ever thought about how much harm you'll bring to the Hopper Family members when you got together with Sawyer?
Gramps was so angry with you that he had hypertension! And granny, she had cried so many times these days, not to mention the others who have always trusted you!"
Amelia's eyes grew bigger in shock, and she was about to burst into tears.
She hurriedly lowered her head and endured the heart-wrenching pain. She forced herself to say indifferently, "That's your family's private affair. What does it have to do with me?"
"Shut up, don't mention her!" Patrick's expression turned scary as if he had been caught in a bad luck. "You're really too bold to be with people like Sawyer, you'll regret it one day!"
With a pale face, she retorted, "No matter who I'm with, it has nothing to do with you anymore! You can frown upon me, but you can't interfere with me."
Patrick narrowed his eyes. "Who said I couldn't
interfere with you?"
She answered loudly, "You couldn't, unless you kill me!"
Patrick looked coldly in her eyes and said fiercely, "I won't kill you, but I can make your life a living hell!"
A living hell?
She chuckled, but felt a chill down her spine. "Patrick, you've definitely underestimated me. I've lived for more than 20 years and I've personally experienced a living hell in each stage of my life! The first time was when my mother committed suicide. The second time was when I married someone who didn't love me at all. The third time was when my father was seriously ill and when the company was about to collapse. The fourth time was when I learned that my husband had love another woman, even to the state that he was willing to live and die with her! Again and again, I also felt that I couldn't stand it anymore, but life gave me the chance to turn the tide again. So Patrick, unless you can really make me dead, if not, I must live a better life than you!"
After a long silence, Patrick suddenly burst into a cunning and scary laughter.
Amelia looked at him, "What are you laughing at?"
Patrick talked about a topic that seemed irrelevant to their current situation. "From what the medical team I sent to treat your father had said, the reason why he couldn't speak and move was that there was a kind of toxin in his body that oppressed his central nerve to a great extent. If he couldn't get rid of it as soon as possible, he could only remain that state in the rest of his life."
"What!" At this moment, Amelia could not care about anything else at all. She was so agitated that she reached out and grabbed the collar of his suit.
