Amelia understood what Patrick wanted to do. She immediately ran to the second floor with bare feet. However, Patrick pulled her back before she could run away. When they fell onto the carpet, Patrick put his palm under her body considerately in order not to hurt her back.

Looking at Amelia's vigilant face, Patrick smiled and said, "We have had sex for so many times. Why are you still so shy?"

Amelia didn't except that Patrick would say these shameful words so straightforwardly!

Feeling ashamed and angry, Amelia begged him, "My face is injured. Please let me go."

Patrick said slowly, "I won't kiss your face."

Amelia flew into a rage, "Patrick, do you have any sympathy?"

Being stared at by Amelia's angry eyes, Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "I have spent most of my sympathy on you. Are you still not satisfied?" "Really? I don't think so."

"You're a heartless woman. I don't expect you to understand."

Although this was only a joke from Patrick, Amelia felt painful in her heart. She pretended to be unconcerned and played with his tie, "The most vicious thing is the woman's heart. It seems that you know women so much."

The expression in Patrick's eyes changed slightly. He suddenly wanted to know what the real Amelia was like and when she would show her true emotions in front of him.

But it didn't matter, because they had years ahead of them.

The next day, in Roxxon Corporation.

Cynthia was pouring tea for her leader of the department. She was absent-minded, and the hot water in the cup spilled out, which scalded her and made her shiver.

She removed her hand quickly and put the tea on the manager's table gently. When she was about to leave, the manager stopped her and said, "Okay, Mr. Hopper, I'll ask Cynthia to go upstairs to see you immediately."

After hanging up the phone, the manager said to Cynthia with disdain, "Did you hearthat? Mr. Hopper asks you to see him."

Cynthia knew that the manager didn't like her. She answered timidly and left in a hurry.

After Cynthia left, her colleagues whispered, "Mr. Hopper has ignored Cynthia for two months. But he looks for her again."

The manager held a cup of tea and said sharply, "Cynthia can't attract Mr. Hopper for too long. She is a hollow person." In the president's office.

Cynthia stood in front of Patrick and called him nervously.

Patrick's expression was no different from usual, "Sit down."

Cynthia looked at the chair and thought that it was inappropriate for her to sit down. Then she said timidly, "I'd better stand and listen to you."

"Okay." Patrick did not force Cynthia to sit down. He opened the drawer and handed over a red envelope to her, "This is your salary for this month. Cynthia, you have been fired."

Cynthia was shocked. After a while, she asked nervously, "Mr. Hopper, did I do something wrong? Tell me, I can change."

Patrick narrowed his eyes and said, "You sent my mom that video yesterday, didn't you?"

Cynthia avoided Patrick's sharp eyes with a guilty conscience and said with her voice trembling, "... No!"

Patrick thought that Cynthia would be honest. Unexpectedly, she refused to admit it.

"You changed a new phone card and sent it to my mother anonymously. You were indeed very clever, but you forgot that you're the only one who knows that Amelia is my wife in the whole company. If it was not you who sent the video, who else could it be?"

Cynthia resorted to sophistry, "There is no forever secret in the world. How can you be so sure that it was me who did it? Perhaps there are other people in the company who know that you and Amelia are married!"

Patrick laughed out loud. His laughter seemed a little lonely in the large office, "Cynthia, you really have changed a lot." Cynthia used to be the little girl who always hid behind her father's legs and peeked at Patrick with her big clear eyes...

The little girl who tried to carry his luggage with her thin wrists when Patrick went home on holiday...

The little girl who cried and told him that she had been admitted to the high school he had ever been when he was about to go abroad for further study...

But she had changed.

After hearing Patrick's words, Cynthia sobbed and said, "Patrick, it's my fault! Please forgive me and give me a chance!"

Patrick pushed the red envelope to her silently. Then, he turned his back to Cynthia and ignored her.

In the logistics department.

"Hey, she's back."

Cynthia's colleagues stared at Cynthia, who was lost in her wits and ran into the things in front of her.

They originally wanted to flatter Cynthia, but they hesitated. Because Cynthia looked like she was abandoned by Patrick.

For the first time, Cynthia ignored other people's eyes, went back to her seat, buried her head in her arms and burst into tears.

Although she lived a poor life in the past, she was simple and happy. With the help of Patrick, her family lived a better life, but she gradually fell into a desperate situation.

She became more and more unable to control her emotions. As long as it was related to Patrick, she would do something that she didn't expect.

This time, she really annoyed Patrick.

But she loved Patrick.

She just wanted to fight for her own happiness. Was it wrong?

No... It couldn't be wrong.

Cynthia's confused eyes gradually became determined.

What was wrong was her background. She was born in a poor family, so she had been inferior to others since she was born. She should try her best to change her fate!

Yes, that was right! She couldn't lose the job in the logistics department after losing the job in Patrick's home!

In this way, she would never have a chance to get close to Patrick...

Figuring this out, Cynthia got up from her seat with a cold body, rushed to the bathroom and washed her face. After calming down, she called Eve.

Beep!

The call was answered after a long time. Eve's voice was so cold, "Why do you call me again?"

Cynthia didn't dare waste Eve's time, so she went straight to the point, "Madam, it was me who sent you that video yesterday!"

Eve was silent for several seconds before she asked, "Why did you send me that?"

"I think it's a big deal and it'll affect the reputation of the Hopper Family, so I sent it to you on my own. You're the hostess of the Hopper Family, so I thought that you should know about it." The word "hostess" made Eve happy. Then she said, "You're cunning. But you were wrong. Amelia has nothing to do with that video."
