Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1606

Derrick responded affirmatively, "If you want to help me, then go back with me immediately. Don't embarrass yourselves here!"

Since Rebecca and the others were stunned by his scolding, Derrick sighed discreetly and continued in a softer tone, "I'll explain when we're back. Let's go."

Rebecca finally understood that what Amelia said back in the house were not groundless. It was all true!

She had even brought her husband and two children along to appear more imposing. That way, if Amelia found someone to chase them away, they would be able to resist.

When she thought about it, she realised that they were the ones who were oppressing the weak!

From the beginning to the end, Amelia had faced them alone, even serving them water and explaining the truth to them. They were neither relatives nor friends, and they had come for the shares. Being treated this way already proved that Amelia was a good person.

However, Rebecca had chosen to believe Brittany and sneered at Amelia.

Sigh!

In a split second, a lot of things came to Rebecca's mind. When she turned around and faced Amelia again, her face was slightly tinged pink.

As for the shares, Rebecca did not want to get to the bottom of it for the time being, only meaning to apologize for her boldness. "Miss Amelia Ramsay, it seems that there's a misunderstanding between us. Please forgive what I said. I'm sorry."

Amelia smiled, then replied, "It's fine. It only matters that the misunderstanding is resolved now. I'll keep my promise and sign the transfer agreement at any time. I won't keep something that doesn't belong to me."

Rebecca was thoroughly ashamed of herself. She looked back at her husband and children then noticed their acknowledgement and appreciation for Amelia. Unfortunately, Amelia was not a member of the Simmons family. So, Rebecca sighed and said, "Let's go."

When Rebecca and the others were leaving, Derrick looked at Amelia and said stiffly, "I told you, the shares that Petty left for you belong to you! The Simmons family won't take this from you."

And with that, he left.

Amelia shook her head. She was about to enter the house when she spotted several security guards with electric batons wandering nearby. Intially, she did not pay much attention to them. However, as soon as the Simmons family left, she realized that the guards had been there since she led Rebecca and the others out from the house.

Was it like what she thought?

Amelia seemed to have figured something out, failing to suppress her smile.

Rebecca and her family followed Derrick to the hotel where he stayed. Derrick asked with a sullen face, "Rebecca, didn't I tell you to wait for my updates at home? Why did you go and find Amelia in secret?"

Rebecca answered anxiously, "It's Brittany Ramsay..."

"Brittany Ramsay?" Derrick frowned.

Rebecca nodded and gave him the honest answer, "A few days ago, she called and told me that Amelia refused to return the shares to the Simmons family. She also said that she was disrespectful to you because she had a powerful person as her support. After listening to her story, I got so angry and afraid that something would happen to you that I rushed here. It was Brittany who told me the address to Land of Fragrance."

After listening to Rebecca's explanation, Derrick was still furious and questioned, "Then why didn't you discuss with me becoming going there?"

Rebecca whispered, "Derrick, you've always valued your dignity. What if you were only pretending to be fine?"

"Wha...what are you talking about!" Derrick glared at her. But he knew better than anyone that she was right. If he did not care about the Simmons family's reputation, he would not have drove Petty to death.

At the thought of this, Derrick spiralled into dejection, then became generous and tolerant of Amelia. "From this point onwards, none of you should disturb Amelia again. Just take it as the shares have settled what the Simmons family owes her!"

Rebecca could not hide her shock. "Derrick, Amelia wasn't lying to me? You did push Petty to death?"

Derrick's expression twisted atrociously. After a moment of pause, he sat in a chair and slowly recounted what happened to Rebecca and the rest.

Forty minutes earlier.

After receiving Amelia's text messages, Patrick immediately called to inform the security at Land of Fragrance to guard outside the house. If they heard any quarrel, they could tear down the door and do whatever they needed.

This way, Amelia's conversation with the Simmons family would not be interrupted. On the other hand, Amelia's safety was ensured to the greatest extent.

At this moment, the secretary said, "Mr. Hopper, it's almost lunch time. Should I order takeout for you?"

After Patrick got back together with Amelia, he often went home for lunch at noon, which meant no one ate the takeout the secretary ordered. Later on, she learned from experience. So, when it was lunchtime, she would ask Patrick for his decision.

After lunch, Patrick got away from Amelia and called Richard.

"Bro Patrick, good afternoon. Have you eaten yet?" Richard sounded as if he was midway through his meal.

Patrick had no time to chat with him, replying dismissively, "I've eaten." Then he got straight to the point, "Richard, you often go out to adventure, right? Do you know anything that can make a person feel pain but leaves no scars?"

"There's a lot. I remember when I accidentally grazed a strange type of grass in the jungle, which was extremely painful and itchy given how light the touch was. The itchiness doesn't ease after scratching it too. Instead, you'll feel worse. Moreover, there's a kind of fruit that makes you hallucinate after you eat it. But if you eat too much in one go, you can die from the halluciantions..."

Richard elaborated a long list, and Patrick nodded along. "Tell me where these plants grow, and I'll ask someone to get you some."

Richard got so terrified that his utensils slipped from his hands. "Bro Patrick, what are you doing with those plants? Are you doing experiments on humans?"

"More or less."

"Who's so 'lucky' to be the subject? It isn't me, right?"

"Don't worry, not you." Patrick curled his lips and said meaningfully, "Didn't you lock someone up over there with you?"

Richard understood right away. "Oh, it's her. I'm relieved then. Bro Patrick, you don't need to send someone to look for the plants. I've always brought some of it with me whenever I returned from those trips. I've kept some of them as specimens and grown some for fun. I happen to have some of the plants I mentioned just now too. Which one do you want to try first?"

"It's up to you. Be careful, don't hurt her." Then, Patrick ended the call.

In an abandoned warehouse, Richard sat cross-legged on a chair with a plate of spaghetti before him. After putting down his phone, he bent down to pick up the fork that fell to the ground, blew on it gently before turning to look at Brittany, who was tied to the bed. He then smirked and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Brittany stared at his baby face, frightened out of her mind. The moment he brought her to this place, he instructed his men to tie her spreadeagle to the bed.

The most horrifying thing was that he had placed a urination tube in her body. So, she would eat, drink, pee, and defecate on the bed.

She had not taken a bath for many days. The stench from her hair and urine in the bedpan under the bed could choke her to death. Her skin had also begun to itch. Moreover, there was not a single fan in this place!
