Chapter 237
William was a family man, and seeing one of his brothers kissing a woman and the other drinking, he wisely chose to drink with Patrick, "What's the matter with you tonight? Who's giving you a hard time?" "Who else could it be?" Charles, who was kissing the dancer, lifted his head up and said, teasingly, "It must be because that his pretty wife didn't ‘feed’ him at night that he comes to here."

"Shut up." Patrick frowned, picked up a cigarette box beside him, and smashed it on Charles's face.
With the beauty in his arms, Charles lost his alert for a moment. Unfortunately, he was hit in the head by the cigarette box, it left a square red mark.
Seeing this, the dancer forgot that Charles was one of the big bosses of the " royal family" this moment, and giggled at him.
Charles felt only momentarily humiliated, glared at Patrick and said, "I'm going to kill you!"
Patrick got a little drunk and couldn't resist starting to provoke Charles, "What? Look at your skinny shape, you want to fight with me?"
Charles replied with an exasperation, "Yes!"
When he finished his words, he didn't do anything, he continued to hold the dancer and kiss her, and Patrick scowled at him.
He turned to drink with William, who was smart enough to know what to ask and what not to ask, and they drank one cup after another in silence.
Eventually, the glass of wine between Patrick's fingers tilted and slumped onto the couch along with his body.
"Hey," William called out to Charles, pointing to Patrick, whose eyes were squinting lightly, and whispered, "He's drunk."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Patrick shot up from the couch and said righteously into the air, "I'm not drunk!"
Patrick's eyes were lost in thought as he yelled the words, then he fell back onto the couch, and Charles, William realized just how drunk he really was.
While he slept, Charles pushed past the half-dressed dancer and came to William with an evil grin, "As he's so sad, do you think we should get him a private room and arrange for a beautiful woman to let off some steam?"
William frowned, "That's not good, is it? He's all married."
Charles didn't think so, "That also depends on whether he loves his wife or not, have you forgotten that the last time we had a class reunion, he just blew her off without any introduction at all."
William didn't want to do that, he said, "I know you're a sucker for a farce, if you want to do this, you do it on your own, when Patrick wakes up and it's none of my business if he's going to be mad at you, I'm going home, bye!"
"Coward... "Charles slurred, "I think you've lost your nerve since you got married."
William felt helpless, but not angry, "When you find your true love sometime, you won't say that."
Then William looked sympathetically at Patrick who slumped in the couch, straightened his attire, and left the room clean.
Unconcerned with William's words, Charles picked up the phone from the wine table and ordered the lobby manager to book a private room, knowing Patrick's preference for pure women, he
repeatedly asked for virgins over the phone.
After this was done, Charles proceeded to wrap his arms around the enthusiastic dancer and left the room together.
In the meantime, back at The Ramsay Family, Amelia found the entire mansion horribly empty, with not only her families are gone, but only one maid left.
"Miss Amelia!" The maid in charge of the night watch was a little alarmed when she saw Amelia, but she greeted her as usual, "Something happened to the boss, he's in the hospital, so why don't you hurry over there?"
Something really happened...
Unable to hold back her emotions, Amelia grasped the maid's hand and asked urgently, "Were you present when my dad had his accident this afternoon?"
The maid hesitated and nodded.
Amelia asked again, "Did you see anyone else around my dad? For example... Daniel?"
Daniel was an ambitious man. It could not exclude the possibility that he would harm George in order to get the Apex Construction Corporation as soon as possible.
"Apart from Brittany, there was no one else." Thinking of Daniel's account, the maid lied, "When Boss accidentally knocked over the vase upstairs, Brittany heard the noise and rushed out to see, she didn't expect that Boss stared at the broken vase as if he couldn't accept it, then Boss returned to the house and didn't come out until Brittany went in to see him, and she found that something bad had happened to him!"
"A vase?" Amelia's face turned pale. "You mean... the vase that my mother brought with her when she married?"
The maid answered with a "yes" emphatically.
After a long silence, Amelia finally let go of the maid's hand, as if she had lost everything. "Okay, I know..."
After seeing Amelia leave The Ramsay Family, the maid immediately called Daniel and told him the news that she had been to the house.
"I've told Amelia as you told me. What do you think... 911
Daniel chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I'll pay you later."
After coming out of The Ramsay Family, Amelia drove as fast as she can and appeared in the hospital that Daniel had mentioned.
After braking, she retrieved her phone, which had fallen in the crack of the car seat, and redialed the previous number. The call was answered quickly, and it was obvious that Daniel was waiting for her.
After asking him the exact number of George's ward, she rapidly came to the outside of the intensive care unit.
After seeing her, Daniel said painfully, "George is..."
"Get out of my way!" she shouted coldly.
She was only talking to Daniel on the phone to get an address, but other than that, she didn't want to get too involved with him!
Amelia's indifference was a little disconcerting to Daniel, but in the end, he silently sidestepped his body to let her pass.
As she passed him, Amelia didn't even look at him, raising her hand and pushing the door open.
Daniel stared at the side of her determined face and quietly smiled malevolently because George might never wake up.
Soon, Apex Construction Corporation would be his, and sooner or later he would gain control of The Hopper Family, and then Amelia would never be as proud as she was today before him! He'll have to tame her someday!
Inside the ICU, Alice and Brittany waited by George's bedside, one on each side, noticing Amelia's footsteps, and their expressions changed instantly.
Alice was glad of her arrival, once George fell, the person in charge of the family could only shift to Daniel and Amelia, but Alice still preferred Amelia, even though Amelia had hated her since she was a child, but she knew that Amelia actually loved the family and loved George even more.
