Seeing that the two siblings were about to quarrel, Jarvy carefully interrupted. "So, Maryanne, Patrick is actually... your enemy?"
Unexpectedly, when he thought that Maryanne was close to Patrick and was about to think of her differently, she broke his fantasy.
However, being able to live well after offending Patrick was also a kind of ability.
Maryanne said frankly, "Yes, my relationship with him is very bad because of his wife. That's why I'm the most qualified person to say that Patrick loves his wife. You don't have to doubt my words."
After concealing all his thoughts, Jarvy said with a happy face, "I see. Thank you for telling me this, Maryanne. Otherwise, I might really spread rumors outside. When Patrick comes to me, I'll be doomed."
"You're welcome," Maryanne said.
Hobart glanced at her. He did not believe that she would be so kind as to warn Jarvy. She was clearly using "she had once offended Patrick” as an excuse to scare him off!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help saying, "Jarvy, in fact, things are not as serious as she said. Not long ago, Amelia came to my house as a guest."
Maryanne suddenly looked at Hobart with a profound gaze.
"Amelia went to your house? What a surprise!"
Jarvy looked at Hobart and then at Maryanne, as if he was considering who he should believe.
Hobart remained calm and said, "Well, actually, I knew her long ago. At that time, she was just a department manager of Roxxon Corporation. I took good care of her in business, so she has always been grateful to me."
"I see!" Jarvy exclaimed in amazement. "Hobart, you're good at hiding things."
Hobart heaved a sigh of relief when he sensed Jarvy's favorable impression of him.
However, in the next second, Maryanne said, "I forgot to tell you that my brother once pursued Amelia for a period of time, so I believe you'll know what Patrick's attitude is towards him."
Hearing this, Jarvy's smile froze on his face.
Hobart glared furiously at Maryanne. She said to Jarvy with a sincere face, "Also, as for the reason why Amelia came to the Home of Smith before,"
"She was not here to be a guest but to help Milton get justice. She and Milton were childhood sweethearts. When she heard that Milton was injured, she could not sit still any longer."
"Therefore, even if my brother took care of her before, it can't offset her anger caused by knowing that her childhood friend was injured."
Finally, Hobart couldn't take it any longer and grabbed hold of Maryanne's arm. He pulled her up from her chair and said sternly, "Come out with me!"
After he said that, he dragged her out of the restaurant.
Jarvy, who had just come to his senses, quickly stood up to stop him. "Hobart!"
Hobart turned his head and said sternly, "Don't follow me!"
Jarvy could only watch helplessly as Hobart took Maryanne away.
Outside the restaurant.
Maryanne was pulled out like a unconscious puppet by Hobart.
Then, he turned around and said to her, "Was it fun?"
"I was just telling the truth."
Hobart, who was provoked by the contempt in her eyes, could not help but growl, "Wo do you think I said those things for in front of Jarvy?"
Maryanne nodded. "If they miss me, then they should let me be with Milton as soon as possible. All of you are older than me, and according to the rules of nature, you will leave the world before me. Instead of hurting each other like this, it's better to cherish the present. We should live a good life together before it's too late."
Hobart's eyes widened in anger. "You've come to this conclusion?"
Maryanne pursed her lips and remained silent.
Hobart replied, "Alright, alright. Just think as you please! One day when our parents and I are both dead, no one will stop you from being together with Milton!"
Maryanne quickly denied. "That's not what I meant!"
Hobart shook off her arm and said fiercely, "But right now, we are still alive and well, so we can't let you meet him!"
Hearing this, Maryanne sighed and said, "Brother, Milton has already lost one hand and one leg. Isn't that enough to quell the anger in your hearts? No matter what, I'm the one who got my hand injured, but I've chosen to forgive him. Why can't you let it go?"
Hobart shouted, "Because you have been brainwashed by him! But our parents and I are still very clear-headed. We know that he is a scheming man, so we are trying our best to stop you from dating him! We arranged Jarvy for you so that you can transfer your feelings to him!"
Maryanne said coldly, "Do I have to accept your arrangements? I have a way to make Jarvy instantly dislike me. Do you want to try now?"
Hobart was shocked. "What are you trying to do?"
Maryanne raised her hands to show Hobart and then walked toward the restaurant.
Hobart thought of something and madly chased after her. He quickly stopped Maryanne. "Don't dothat!"
Maryanne smiled in satisfaction. "You also think it's a bad idea, right? After all, my hands are so ugly. Once I take off my gloves, let alone win the favor of Jarvy, it would already be good if he didn't spit it out on the spot, right?"
Hobart's face was ashen.
