Chapter 777
"Enough!" Howard waved his hand in front of him awkwardly, then turned his attention to Amelia again. "Amelia, what did you want to say to me just now?"
Amelia's breath hitched sharply in her chest. After the repeated interruptions, her thoughts were in a mess, all jumbled up! What could she say to him?
"Humph!" At this moment, Eve began to express her own mighty opinion, "This woman clearly doesn't have the ability to tie down her own husband. So, is it strange for his husband to cheat on her to meet his needs? In my opinion, instead of settling the score with Patrick, ask Nora to teach her how to be a competent wife!"
The younger ones were slightly taken aback. Did Eve just insult herself?
In the moment of strange silence, it suddenly dawned on Eve about what she just said. Her supple face transformed into livid in an instant, which was both terrifying and comical!
Amelia did not reply to her. It was Nora who added, "Mom, it's me who should learn how to control my husband from Amelia."
Everyone in the room was dumbstruck!
Was this something the gentle and elegant Nora would say?
Amelia glanced at Nora and silently applauded her. As expected, anyone brainwashed by Florence understood the world differently!
Eve had never expected Nora to say something like that. Therefore, her first reaction was not rage, but to think that Nora had been possessed to be able to say such shameless things in public!
Eve then suggested to Owen with a straight face, "Owen, I think your wife isn't feeling well. Send her back to rest in her room first!"
Upon hearing her, Amelia was overjoyed!
It seemed that Nora's change was such a hard pill for Eve to swallow that she would rather console herself and accuse Nora of being sick. What nonsense!
"Mom, I'm fine. I don't need to go back to my room yet. Let Patrick and Amelia continue."
As it was shown, the more innocent and naive a person was, the more frightening they would be when they acted out of character.
Though Nora did not say anything particularly unpleasant to hear, even her expression remained respectful, but Eve still felt that there was something different about her.
"Okay. Stay here if you're fine then." As she said this, Eve did not know what kind of look she was supposed to show Nora.
She could not smile at her and could not figure out what was going on in Nora's mind either.
As a result, Eve's expression turned more terrorizing while she struggled between smiling and scowling!
"Ahem!" Owen was very protective of his wife and pushed his younger brother into the spotlight. "Dad, mom, aren't we talking about Patrick?"
What!
Patrick cast a sinister look at his elder brother. He was trying his best this whole time to lower his sense of presence just for Owen to f*cking bring him back into the conversation again with just one
sentence. Was that what brothers should do? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Crossing gaze with his brother's merciless eyes, Owen put one hand onto his waist calmly. The corner of Patrick's mouth hooked. He understood what he meant.
Could Patrick not know where his brother usually kept his gun?
It was a huge mistake that he did not bring Huxton along with him at this moment!
Howard took in all of the small movements and shook his head deep down at them. He thought, "These gossips are spreading wide right now. How can they still be in the mood to fool around? None of you is taking this seriously!"
"Patrick, let me ask you, who is the long-haired woman you carried in the magazine?"
Howard could tell that Amelia would not be able to overcome the obstacle that was Patrick. In that case, he would ask him directly.
Hearing him, Patrick glanced at his father and answered coldly, "If I say she's an old friend of mine, will you believe me?"
Howard replied without hesitation, "No!"
Patrick laughed. "Since you won't believe me, what's the point of me explaining?"
The look in Howard's eyes frosted. "I think what's happening is that she's a mistress you're keeping outside of your marriage, and that's why you feel the need to protect her name!"
Patrick's voice turned chill. "Old man, you'd better talk with some respect!"
Upon hearing him, Amelia felt even worse. Patrick's protective attitude towards Sissi shoved her with the taste of jealousy and self-abasement.
"How dare you! I'm your father!" Though Howard was calm and collected on the usual, he flared up
because of Patrick's insolence!
Patrick continued in a tone of a bully, "What are you glaring at me for? Are you trying to scare me off?"
Howard's eyes widened at once, absolutely enraged by his second son. "You brat, get down on your knees right now!"
Patrick only responded impassively, "Give me a reason to kneel."
Howard had sufficient reasoning as he said, "It's my fault that you've turned out to be this mannerless. Since you did that behind Amelia's back, I'll treat you with the family's parenting! I'll let you know about the things that you should never do!"
Suddenly, Patrick flashed a smile at him, and his recalcitrant look made Amelia frown. "Old man, if you want to teach me a lesson, then you should also behave like a good father. As the saying goes, 'like father, like son.' If you can cheat, why can't I?"
Pat!
After a heavy strike in the face, Eve howled in extreme fury, "Amelia, how dare you hit my son! I'll kill you!!"
"Mom!" Owen reacted right away, stood up and caught Eve in his arms.
Owen had joined the army since he was young. So, with his physique far superior to that of an average
man, it was a piece of cake for him to hold Eve back!
"Owen, let go of me! I need to teach this b*tch a lesson!"
It was truly a peculiar sight to see Eve going berserk and violent whenever she and Amelia were in the same room.
But Amelia had been used to her antics and stayed composed to herself. However, the slap she hurled made it hard for her to calm down at the moment.
Receiving a sudden slap from Amelia, Patrick felt a nefarious fire burning in his heart. He had never thought that it would be her who did that to him!
He would not be surprised if anyone else in the room was the one to hit him! Anyone else but Amelia!
Lifting his struck handsome face, Patrick growled in a bloodthirsty tone, "Amelia, do you want to die so badly?"
Amelia shook slightly. The cold aura Patrick was giving off was much scarier and more imposing than Eve's scream!
However, Amelia still kept her head high and puffed out her chest, replying fearlessly, "He's your father, but you didn't even show him the basic respect, and even questioned him with your screwed up accusations! It was kind of your father to only ask for you to kneel to him. If it's me, I would have
slapped you until your lips split!"
Owen and the rest twitched hearing her. A slap in the face was not enough, she even said she wanted to split his lips! Amelia might as well be digging her own grave and jump into it at this second.
Patrick continued to stare at Amelia ferociously as hundreds of ways of tearing her apart rang in his mind!
In his entire lifetime, all the slaps he had endured was from Amelia!
And this time, she was even more straightforward with it. She had just slapped Patrick in front of The Hopper Family!
