Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 124

Maryanne put down her hand with hatred, "I just want to help you identify the quality of this gem. Forget it if you're insensible."

She then asked maliciously, "Are the gem on the ring made of glass since you're so nervous? Are you afraid of being ashamed?"

Facing Maryanne's doubts, Amelia smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter to me whether it's true gem or not, because the person who sent me this gift is thoughtful." Maryanne thought that Amelia was trying to satisfy her vanity, and she looked at Amelia more sarcastically.

When the conversation got disagreeable, to say one word more was a waste of breath. Before Maryanne could speak, Amelia walked past her and went into the bathroom. Being knocked back by Amelia, Maryanne clenched her fists in anger.

She looked at Amelia coldly. After washing her hands, Amelia opened the leather bag and took out a moist towelette to wipe her hands. She wiped her fingers slowly and elegantly, which really looked like a noble lady of high society.

Thinking that Amelia was using such a pair of hands to flirt with Patrick, Maryanne was so jealous.

All of a sudden, she came up with an idea.

While Amelia was lowering her head and throwing rubbish, Maryanne took off a small ornament from her collar and quickly hid it in Amelia's leather bag.

After finishing this, Maryanne fiddled the curly hair on her chest with great satisfaction and walk out of the bathroom.

Amelia naturally buckled the button of the leather bag. She didn't know what had happened just now.

When she went back to the hall, she saw Owen holding Andrew and Ashley in his arms and walking to the stage.

Andrew and Ashley weighed about 40 kg together, which made Owen's feet looked even more lame.

However, Owen remained calm and walked forward step by step. It was really hard for you to connect him with physiological defects, since he was such a tall and upright man.

In the center of the well-designed stage, there was a ten-tiered party cake on a small silver moving cart, representing Andrew and Ashley's total age.

Standing on the stage were Andrew and Ashley's classmates. When the flash lamp was focused on them, they began to sing together childishly, "Happy birthday to you..."

All the guests walked to the stage, while Eve slowly stepped up the stage with Patrick.

Ashley jumped down from Own's arms and hugged Patrick's leg with a cute smile.

Eve asked them to blow out the candle together., but no one remembered Amelia..

When the top layer of the cake was cut by them bit by bit, Amelia knew it was time for her to leave. She couldn't become a member of the Hopper Family.

Howard, who cared about her the most and trusted her the most, did not attend this banquet because he didn't like noisy place.

Amelia walked past those guests with sadness in her eyes.

Before she could reach the door, a group of police who rushed in stopped her, "Miss, you can't leave for the time being."

Amelia asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Someone lost an expensive jewelry and called the police. This place is cordoned off by us now. Please cooperate with us." The police said.

Amelia pointed at herself and asked, "Only me?"

The police added, "No, everyone here."

Hearing it, Amelia relaxed. She stood there and cooperated with the inspection.

At the same time, the other policemen had explained to other guests.

After knowing it, Eve was unhappy, "Steal? Tonight all my guests are famous and rich. It's impossible for them to steal anything. Ask the owner of the lost jewelry to come out, and I'll ask her personally."

On the one hand, the police knew about Owen's reputation as a SWAT. On the other hand, they were afraid of the power of the Hopper Family. Standing in front of Eve, the police said nervously, "Mrs. Hopper, it's Maryanne Smith who..."

Before he could finish his words, Eve put on a cold face.

The police was frightened, and he asked his colleague to replace Maryanne right away.

Maryanne was leaning against Hobart's arms anxiously. When she heard that Eve wanted to see her, she smiled insidiously.

She walked to Eve in a hurry. Hobart was worried that she would offend Eve, so he followed her.

At the same time, due to his height and sharp eyes, Milton finally found Amelia among the crowd.

He walked to Amelia quickly and gasped, "I finally found you."

Amelia was amused by Milton's funny expression. Milton always had a way to make her happy.

On the stage, Eve was very enthusiastic to Maryanne for the sake that Hobart was a business partner of Roxxon Corporation, "Miss Maryanne Smith, what you've lost? Just tell me. I'll help you look for it." Maryanne said excitedly, "Madam, the flamingoshaped brooch that my mother gave me is missing. That's a treasure of my family."

Hobart was also anxious. Maryanne took out the brooch from the safety box on her own. If she couldn't replace it, she would be punished when she got home.

The Smith Family, the flamingo-shaped brooch...

Everyone was enlightened. It was said that when Hobart's grandmother was young, she collected a set of rare jewelry. The brooch was one of them. It was said that the brooch would only be given to the daughter-in-law of the Smith family.

There were all kinds of gems, yellow crystals and diamonds on the brooch. It was worth at least 100 million yuan.

Hearing it, Eve attached great importance to the brooch. She asked where Maryanne had lost the brooch in a hurry.

Maryanne shook her head helplessly and said with tears, "I... forget. The only thing I can be sure of is that jewelry might have been picked up in the hall or in the toilet by someone."

Owen said with the microphone on the stage sonorously, "Have anyone picked up or seen a flamingo-shaped brooch? If you do, please hand it over. We'll appreciate it so much!" Everyone frowned and thought about it. The shape of the brooch was special. If they really saw it, they would definitely had an impression.

Amelia thought of the delicate brooch on Maryanne's collar when she saw Maryanne in the toilet. It was so unique that she could never forget it.

When she was lost in thought, the police had already walked to her and Milton. The voice of the police made her come to sense, "Miss, please open your handbag. I need to check it."
