There was a hint of surprise on Patrick's usual indifferent composure the moment when he saw Owen. He asked, "Owen, why are you here?"
As for Sawyer, he swept his gaze over to the woman who had suddenly appeared, and his eyes filled with deep thought.
This was because both of them who forced their way to the trio were close acquaintances of Patrick and Sawyer. Therefore, Huxton and Sawyer's bodyguards did not stop them.
Owen first nodded at Patrick, and then fixed his gaze on Amelia's face.
As she displayed her slightly nervous expression, Owen smiled and informed her, "Amelia, gramps asked me to pick you up."
Amelia carefully articulated her words and questioned, "Mr. Owen, Is Gramps Hopper feeling much better now?"
Because she was afraid to meet him face-to-face, Amelia had constantly thought about his health condition in her heart although she had not stepped into the hospital for several days.
In order to hide from Gramps Hopper, she did not
even visit her father.
Upon hearing Amelia's distant address, Owen was stunned and replied with a heavy voice, "I came here specifically for this matter. Gramps' blood pressure has not been very stable these days, and if you can go to the hospital to visit him and talk to him, I think he will be able to recover sooner."
"Are we supposed to go now?" Amelia was caught off guard and looked back at him.
"Yes, it's best if we visit him right now." Owen's smile was extremely kind as he was afraid that she would reject.
He had come here with a mission. What
Gramps Hopper commanded was that if Owen was not able to bring Amelia to him, he would break one of Owen's legs!
Amelia's red lips squirmed a little bit. Regardless, no matter what she did, she was also going to receive a punishment from Gramps Hopper. Maybe the furthest he could do to her was to use his crutch and beat her to vent his anger.
Just as she was about to agree, the woman beside her who was dressed in an office wear, suddenly spoke out, "Ms. Ramsay, you don't have to rush to make a decision just yet."
Amelia glanced sideways at the woman with a puzzled face. "I don't think I've asked you yet. Who exactly are you?"
The woman kept her professional smile. "I'm Mr. Ryan's secretary. We've met before, though I'm not sure if Ms. Ramsay has any lasting impression of me."
"Oh!" Amelia suddenly realized and added, "No wonder you look familiar. You...you come here on behalf of Uncle Quartley?"
The secretary nodded and affirmed, "Yes, Mr.
Quartley has been extremely puzzled by the gossip surrounding Ms. Ramsay for the past few days, so he ordered me to invite you for a meeting."
Amelia's pretty face froze slightly. That was to say, everyone knew that she was getting a divorce today? Otherwise, why else would she be trapped within the Civil Affairs Bureau!
Who could have leaked this information?
Amelia suspicion locked on Patrick without any hesitation!
But in the next second, she felt that this hunch was impossible.
There was no need for Patrick to publicize such a shameful thing such as divorce to the point where everyone seemed to know about it.
Then it could only be... Sawyer?
She subconsciously glanced at Sawyer and realized that he, in turn, was also gazing at her.
She felt sick in her heart and was fairly about to throw up, so she turned away from him.
The secretary was still trying to move Amelia's feelings and coaxed further, "Ms. Ramsay, if you're alright with this, please come with me now. As you already know, Mr. Quartley is really concerned about you. After hearing the news about you over the past few days, he has been worried all day, even lost his appetite which caused him to make so many mistakes in his official business."
Because of the distance between them, the reporters and onlookers were unable to hear what Amelia and the others were talking about. However, judging from Patrick and Sawyer's actions, it seemed like they were apparently fighting over Amelia!
"Look, Mr. Patrick has divorced Amelia, but he still can't let go?"
"But Mr. Quartley's reaction is also very fierce!"
Some people even came to a self-righteous conclusion. "It seems that these two compatible men have fallen in love with the same woman after the incident with Lady 'R'!"
This was really a beautiful misunderstanding.
The most powerful thing about the two men, Patrick and Sawyer, was that they did not communicate with each other at all, except for the subtle meeting of their gazes when Amelia bowed her head to look for the divorce certificate for a few seconds.
Their focus was solely concentrated and displayed on Amelia. It was no wonder that the reporters would come to such a conclusion.
Staring at the position where Amelia was caught by Sawyer, Patrick's eyes darkened and he warned him in a low voice, "Sawyer, let her go."
Sawyer stubbornly held on to her and the two of them began their first verbal exchange. "Why aren't you the one to let her go?"
Amelia could not stand the tension anymore and gritted her teeth. "I'm warning the both of you to let go of me, or the headlines of tomorrow will only become more exciting!"
"He should let go first!" Patrick and Sawyer was extremely unwilling to give way to each other.
Upon realizing that she was not able to make herself clear, Amelia simply wrenched her arm upwards.
Patrick and Sawyer both felt that the slender part of their palm were spasming with extraordinary great strength. If they still refused to let go, would they break?
Patrick immediately let go of his hand.
Sawyer hesitated for a moment and he also released his grip on Amelia.
