Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1467

"Petty Simmons, as a member of the Simmons family, shouldered the responsibility of maintaining the relationship between the Simmons and Ramsay families. But not only did she not listen to her family's arrangements, but she also committed suicide because of a mistress and a news report. She's unworthy of being a member of the Simmons family!"

When Derrick talked about Petty, it was like he was talking about a stain in the family name!

Alice, who was being called a 'mistress', took a few seconds to gather her courage before retorting, "No... that's not true!"

"Then what's the truth?" Derrick stared at Alice coldly, doubt and hatred went ablaze in his eyes!

When Alice saw Derrick who was looking at her as if she was a piece of trash, she could not help but become unyielding. "That's what I'm going to tell Amelia! Amelia..."

Alice suddenly turned to Amelia, who was clueless and began to tell the story. "Your parents had never loved each other. They were the victims of a political marriage!"

"B*stard!" Before Amelia could do anything, Derrick flew into a rage. He glared at Alice and seethed, "The marriage I arranged for my daughter was for her benefits. Why did you call them 'victims'? I think that's an excuse for you to cover up your fault!"

Alice continued, "You've said it yourself that you arranged the marriage for Petty's benefits. In the end, Petty's benefits were for the Simmons family's sake! I wonder if you had ever considered whether or not she was happy?"

"I'm her father, so how can I hurt her?!" Derrick argued, but his words were baseless for he could not provide evidence. He could only argue from the perspective of his relations with Petty.

Alice's eyes went red as she abandoned cowardice and added, "In fact, the main reason why Petty committed suicide was mostly because of you!"

"What did you say?" Derrick's voice lowered again.

Alice took a deep breath and went on, "Ever since she married George, she had been extremely unhappy. However, she was forbearing, and George's business had just started. So, they decided to temporarily devote their energy to their joint venture company, which was Apex Construction Corporation."

"In the blink of an eye, a year passed. Both the Simmons family and the Ramsay family then began to urge Petty and George to give birth to a child. But when Petty went for a body check- up, she found that it was biologically difficult for her to get pregnant."

"Soon, more and more criticisms came from the surrounding families. The psychological pressure that Petty was bearing was also getting greater day by day." "She was greatly ashamed of her physiological problems, and her father, which is you... Mr. Simmons, is a stubborn person."

"If Petty had told you about this, she would get a harsh scolding from you rather than getting a show of understanding. However, George considered her difficulties, and they made a bold decision..."

At this point, Alice cast a glance at Amelia. Her action meant more than words.

Derrick could not accept it and yell, "How can I know whether you're telling the truth? Unless you provide some evidence, otherwise you're making it up!"

Alice rebuked him in a fierce tone, "Only three people know the truth. Petty has passed away and George is in a coma. I'm the only one left now. I can't give you the evidence you want, but I can swear that I'm telling the truth. If I'm not telling the truth, Satan can take my soul away!"

As if she had remembered a happy memory, Alice's low voice suddenly raised, "Ever since Petty had you, she finally had an outlet to invest her energy in other than the Apex Construction Corporation. She no longer needed to rely on sleeping pills to sleep or hear the discussions about how inharmonious she and George were."

"George thought she was getting better, so he put all his energy on the Apex Construction Corporation again. After a few years, seeing that Apex Construction Corporation was flourishing and their daughter was growing up healthily, Petty suddenly felt that George had devoted the most to their relationship but earned nothing in return. So, she suggested that he should find a woman to have a child of his own."

"Wha... what? This was my mother's idea?" Amelia blurted.

Alice smiled. "Yes. At that time, George was also surprised and even said that it was good enough to continue living that way. However, Petty insisted that he had helped her to solve her trouble of conceiving a child, so she had to do something in return for him."

"She also said that they were not in love with each other. So, even if George found another woman to live together, she would not be jealous. In fact, she would give him her blessing."

"Amelia, having said that, you should understand that your father and mother didn't treat each other like a couple, but like old friends. They helped each other, but they never had feelings for each other." "Ah..." Alice's heartfelt words were like rocks settling in Amelia's heart, causing ripples after ripples.

She wanted to question Alice more, but when she thought of George's strange attitude every time he mentioned Petty, she knew that Alice was most likely telling the truth.

"Then what happened?" Amelia wanted to know more.
