Only Patrick knew that what she said was true. Just like when she divorced him, she did not hesitate to frame him and Sissi for having an affair. She also said that Sissi was pregnant with his child, just to break up with him! It could be seen that her forbearance was destructive!
Amelia smiled at Derrick who was speechless, and said lightly, "Mr. Simmons, you can ask the court to send me the agreement of the equity transfer at any time. If it is not convenient for you, I can also go by myself."
Then, she looked sideways at Patrick and her expression quickly became gentle. "Mr. Hopper, the dishes here don't suit my taste. Can we have a meal somewhere else?"
"Of course." Patrick, who did not say a word throughout the whole period of time, played an important role at the moment, which was to bring Amelia away.
As for how Derrick felt, who cared?
After leaving the room, Amelia said with some annoyance, "I should not have eaten the salad."
Patrick looked at her with a smile and said, "That's no big deal. I'll go to the counter and pay the bill."
"Hey, isn't that too generous for him?" "But there's no better way now, right?"
Amelia thought for a moment and said with some regret, "Well, sorry to have let you spend the money."
"Don't mention it." Patrick touched the tip of her nose and led her to the counter to pay for the meal.
After leaving Hodyson Pavilion, they went to a western restaurant to have lunch, and then returned to the Land of Fragrance.
Unexpectedly, right after their return, Amelia ran into another troublesome person, Brittany.
It had only been two weeks since they last met. But, Brittany looked so thin and haggard that Amelia did not recognize her for a moment.
When Patrick saw that Brittany was wandering around the gate of the garden like a stray cat, his eyes narrowed. He grabbed Amelia's arm and said, "Don't go over yet. I'll call the security."
But, Brittany had already heard them conversing. She immediately lifted her eyes and looked at them. Her eyes were filled with deep pain, grief, helplessness, and even despair...
Amelia was startled by her appearance and muttered subconsciously, "What's wrong with her?"
"Even if she's gone crazy, it's none of your business." Patrick was afraid that Brittany would come and hurt Amelia, so he quickly made the phone call while standing in front of her.
Brittany had perhaps guessed that Patrick was calling for help. Although she was always afraid of him, she could not care more at the moment. She hurried to them and said in a hoarse voice, "Amelia... Patrick..."
Amelia looked at her in dismay, while Patrick was ready to call the security guards.
"Patrick, please don't drive me away so soon!" Brittany plucked up her courage to stop Patrick's hand. Although she was thrown off in the next second, she was still able to stop him from speaking.
"Brittany, what exactly do you want to do?" Amelia asked coldly.
The next second, Brittany knelt down before them with a thud. She knocked her head to the ground in grief and said, "Amelia, Patrick, please help me..."
Amelia looked at the scene in front of her miserably, while Patrick directly took her hand and dragged her away pass Brittany.
"No... please don't go!" Brittany cried out pitifully as she grabbed onto Amelia's calf tightly. "Please
don't go, please..." "Brittany, let go of me!" Amelia tried hard to pull her leg out, but Brittany determinedly held her tightly. For a moment, they had attracted countless strange gazes from others.
"Brittany, why are you acting so crazily?" Amelia asked unhappily.
Brittany raised her head and looked up at the cold and distant face of Amelia. She said with her face full of tears, "Amelia, I really have something extremely urgent to tell you. Please listen to me before driving me away, could you please?"
Amelia's answer was clear as she kept moving her leg. Patrick wanted to help her, but was afraid that he would accidentally hurt Amelia. So he could only endure it for the time being.
Brittany placed almost her entire upper body on to Amelia's calf and said tearfully, "Amelia, for the sake of Mom and Dad..."
Amelia's indifferent expression suddenly changed. "Shut up! You don't deserve to mention sbout them!"
Brittany's lips trembled, and she quickly changed her words, "Amelia, the matter is also very important to you. It's about Kaleb, and also the Apex Construction Corporation founded by dad and aunt! Please just listen to me!"
Amelia hesitated for a while. To be honest, she did not want to have anything to do with Brittany. However, Brittany was really weird that day. She had even mentioned about the Apex Construction Corporation. She did not know whether she should have a listen. If she did not listen, would she regret it?
Amelia seemed to be a little uncertain, so Brittany hurriedly called, 'Amelia?"
Amelia came to her senses and asked, "Do you really have something important to tell me?"
"Sis, I know you're still mad at me. You may hit and scold me as you like!" Brittany knelt down at the foot of Amelia again and started to beg for mercy. "It's my fault. I shouldn't go to the company to expose your identity simply because I'm mad at you, let alone mock you. You're my sister, forever!"
Simply mad at her?
Ha!
How could her suffer and pain that day be concluded as a childish farce. It was no farce, but a tragedy...
"Brittany, we'd better set each other free. Quickly reveal the important thing you mentioned and get out of here. I really hate to look at you for any longer."
Amelia seemed to be able to smell the stench emanating from her bones through Brittany's skin. She was really disdained to be associated with such a person!
"I'll say it right away!" When she heard Amelia's urging words, Brittany knew that she did not have much time left. She quickly revealed all her recent encounters and experiences.
When she heard that Brittany had bought information on Kaleb's criminal records from his mistress, Amelia was moved. She felt that Jonathan had gained a strong weapon against him.
However, when she heard that Kaleb had drugged Brittany in return and brought her to Jazz Nightclub to receive torture, her heart turned cold once again. She looked at Brittany with disbelief in her eyes.
"Do you not believe what I just said?" Meeting Amelia's gaze, Brittany closed her eyes in embarrassment. She appeared to become a little gloomy, "In fact, I can't believe it, either. But... Kaleb's men even recorded a video of it. So I have no other choice but to believe it."
"What?!" Amelia sprang to her feet from the sofa. After looking at Brittany for a while, she sighed and asked accusingly, "Why are you always like that?"
"I'm sorry, Amelia... I didn't want to be this way either! I didn't expect... that things would turn out this way." Brittany fell to the ground and cried miserably.
"Stop crying already! Could you just grow up for once? Whenever you caused trouble, you would implicate the entire family. Do you know how severely will The Ramsay Family be impacted if the video is spread out?"
Amelia grew angrier as she spoke. She could not help but reach out to pull Brittany by her collar and make her face her. "You've always brought harm to me, yet you even disregard your parents' reputation at the moment! Have you thought of how others would see them? Huh? Saying that the original wife couldn't give birth to a child, so they casually picked up a child that no one wanted. Saying that the mistress had a daughter, but grew up to be a slut? Did you forget that you haven't divorced with Daniel yet!?"
With a pale face, Brittany choked herself with sobs and said, "I... I just wanted to win over you once! I don't want such things to happen either..."
Amelia said with no expression, "Win over me? You've done it! I'll no longer be the acting board member. Whoever wants to take the place could feel free to do so! Are you satisfied now?" "Sis..." Brittany bit her lower lip and it started bleeding. She said pitifully, "I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have colluded with Kaleb!"
