Chapter 217
Patrick questioned indifferently, "I never believe that coincidences happen twice. The first time you saved Shawn, it was reasonable, and the second time, you knew he was a famous star, so why did you approach him? Or do you not want to be in charge of this company anymore and want to go into the entertainment industry?"
Amelia said seriously, "What's the benefit of me to have an affair with Shawn? First of all, the internet and newspapers are now full of gossip about me and Shawn, and I have to be prepared for Shawn's fans to rush over and beat me up when I walk down the street. Secondly, you know your mother well, and she's going to blame me as soon as she hears about this gossip. And finally, I have to explain to my friends and family one by one. Patrick, I'm so tired of this. Can you stop using this to trouble with me?"
"You think that I'm deliberately trying to get you in trouble?" Patrick was irritated by her.
"Don't you just want to get back at me for Cynthia? So now as soon as you get the chance you're going to cause me trouble..."
She was about to continue speaking, but her lips got stuck on his. He kissed her so hard that her brain suddenly couldn't think!
Kisses weren't enough. He even bit her, her lips and her tongue, so that she couldn't speak even though she was in pain. Then aggressively she bit back, in this way they vented their displeasure with each other!
By the time Patrick let go of her, his lips were stained with blood that he didn't know belonged to whom, and his dark eyes revealed the anger, "Are you a cat? You actually bit me!"
Amelia raised her hand to wipe away the blood from her lips, and the faint trace of blood across her fair face made her look even sexier...NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
As he watched in fascination, she smiled evilly, "You're wrong, I'm not a cat, I'm a tiger! And only bite the man who cheats on me!"
Patrick responded unhappily, "Who is the man!"
Amelia stopped talking and just stared at him mockingly, indicating that she was talking about him.
"If I were the man, you would be the woman who cheats on me!" He immaturely shouted to Amelia.
Amelia scoffed, "I'm not cheating on my other half."
Patrick frowned in surprise and asked Amelia, "When did I cheat on you?"
"I'm not sure if your body cheated on me or not, but mental cheating is worse than physical cheating, and I can see that your heart was already split in half, one half for Cynthia and the other for..." Amelia tried to continue but she stopped it.
"Who?" Patrick waited with rapt attention for her to continue.
"Your mother." Amelia distracted him as her gut feeling was that his teacher was a forbidden topic to bring up.
After a moment of silence, Patrick spoke up abruptly to explain, "Cynthia and I, we're not what you think we are."
He didn't need to explain it to her at all, but for some reason, seeing the unsettling look in her eyes, he felt guilty and felt like he should say something to reassure her.
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Patrick regretted. Who the hell was she to him and why should he be the one to explain it to her?
As for her, she hid everything from him and only waited until there was a problem and then sought his help!
Amelia's didn't trust Patrick's words, and she shouldn't be blamed, because he did show a lot of concerns for Cynthia.
But Amelia ostensibly tried to quell their conflict, "Since you said you and Cynthia aren't having an affair, well, I believe you! But will you please trust me just the same?"
Patrick said stiffly, "I'll believe you for once, but I'm here to emphasize that during the time Shawn works with us, if you guys still interact like you did today, you're going to be in serious trouble!"
Immediately after Amelia disappeared into the office, Patrick called his secretary to come in.
"I have two things need you to deal with right now."
"Please go ahead, Mr. Hopper." The secretary waited earnestly for Patrick's orders.
Patrick calmly said, "First, you will explain to the newspapers and media outlets that have published this scandal. Tell them that Shawn and Amelia are the male and female spokespersons for 'The Water of a Life', and you should emphasize that Amelia is an employee of Roxxon. She has a good image and temperament, which rationalize the possibility of her being a spokesperson, got it?"
The secretary nodded seriously.
Patrick shifted into a more comfortable sitting position and continued, "Second, you're going to ask them to rewrite the 'intimate relationship' between Amelia and Shawn as a collegial or collaborative relationship, and as the reason, it is not weird that the male and female spokespeople get together at the same time."
"But..." the secretary asked cautiously, "If some media take advantage of the public's curiosity and deliberately use this boo-head to boost views and discussion, and refuse to cooperate with us, then what should we do?"
Patrick's eyes sharpened, "Quite simply, I'll make them disappear completely from this industry."
The secretary shuddered.
Seeing that he seemed to frighten the poor secretary, Patrick smiled slightly and said, "I wouldn't be so cruel unless there is no other way. But if they insist on distorting the facts and leading public opinion, they will suffer the consequences!"
The secretary paused for a moment and asked, "So is it an excuse for Madam Amelia Ramsay to be the spokeswoman of 'The Water of a Life' or..."
Patrick shook his head, "No, in that case, we can only rationalize everything by making Amelia the spokeswoman. We can even put out the word that this sneak peek is to set the stage for 'The Water of Life' so that the public's attention will naturally shift from the Amelia and Shawn's gossip to our perfume brand."
"Got it, Mr. Hopper."
In The Hopper Family.
This gossip spread across the country while Howard and Eve saw it.
Eve shouted angrily, "Honey, come here! Amelia's in trouble again! No wonder Patrick hadn't even finished his breakfast before rushing out!"
Howard was watching the gossip in the newspaper and caught Eve standing up from the couch and making a furious dash to the cloakroom on the second floor.
"Where are you going?" He put down the newspaper and asked Eve.
"I'm going to punish that little bit*h!" Eve said angrily.
Howard stopped her, "Patrick will take care of Amelia, calm down."
