Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 125

Amelia nodded and opened the handbag naturally and gracefully.

When she lowered her head and saw what was inside her bag clearly, her face turned pale immediately.

She slammed the handbag shut subconsciously!

"Amelia, what's wrong with you?" Milton, who was being searched, glanced at her and didn't understand why her face suddenly became so pale.

The policeman reached out his hand and quickly held Amelia's handbag, not letting her put it away.

Amelia was so nervous that she said foolishly, "Sir, can we have a private talk..."

The police snapped, "Give me your bag!"

Amelia's hand trembled, and the handbag was taken away by the police. When he opened it, he found that there was a brooch inside.

He held the brooch with one hand, pointed at Amelia with the other hand and said to other policemen, "Stay here and watch her. I'll ask the owner to confirm whether it is her brooch."

Seeing the policemen catching Amelia, Milton was extremely unhappy. He rushed over and wanted to take her away, "Amelia, don't be afraid! I'll take you away!"

A policeman stopped Milton who was so impulsive and said, "Sir, please cooperate with our work!"

After thinking for a few seconds, Amelia quickly understood what had happened.

When she met Maryanne in the toilet, her brooch was still there. When Maryanne came out of the toilet, the police came.

The only possibility was that while she was not paying attention, Maryanne secretly hid the brooch in her bag and then called the police.

Maryanne wanted to frame her.

If she was just an employee of Roxxon Corporation, it wouldn't be a big deal. But she was the eldest daughter of the Ramsay Family and the second daughter-in- law of the Hopper Family. If those guests knew her identities because of this incident, the two families would suffer shame because of her.

Thinking of this, Amelia looked at the Hopper Family on the stage, hoping to know their attitudes toward this matter.

Eve, Patrick, Owen and Nora all looked at her way after hearing the policeman's explanation.

After recognizing Amelia, Eve was flustered. But she returned to normal soon, she looked at Amelia as if she was looking at an insignificant stranger.

Looking at Eve, Amelia smiled. Anyway, no one would feel pity for her even if she cried.

Eve really wanted Amelia to disappear from the world at this time. She didn't want to admit that Amelia was her daughter-in-law in public. She didn't expect that Amelia would steal the brooch and she thought that Amelia did it in order to embarrass the Hopper Family on purpose.

Nora said to Eve, "Mother, according to my understanding of Amelia, she couldn't steal the brooch. There must be some misunderstanding."

Eve retorted coldly, "Nora, that's because you know too little about her. I know her better than you!"

Nora pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but Patrick beckoned her to shut up.

Patrick knew that Eve hated Amelia so much. The more Nora spoke for Amelia, the more Eve hated Amelia.

Seeing Patrick stop her, Nora's expression changed slightly. He was Amelia's husband, how could he be so calm?

Could it be that... Patrick still didn't love Amelia after living with her for a few months?

Nora sighed and glanced at Owen in silence. Andrew and Ashley was pestering him and asking him what had happened curiously.

They were too small to help Amelia, so Owen didn't tell them. He cut two small cakes for them and asked them to play with other children.

"What about aunt Amelia?" Looking at the cake, Andrew thought of Amelia who smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, she hasn't given us a birthday present yet." Ashley blinked and said with expectant eyes.

They were short, so they naturally couldn't see Amelia who was surrounded by the police. Owen touched their heads and said, "Aunt Amelia will come over later. Eat the cake first."

At the same time, the policeman was still waiting for Eve to speak, "Mrs. Hopper, what do you think.."

Eve ordered them, "Patrick, go and deal with this matter with me. Owen, Nora, stay here and entertain guests."

"Don't worry, mom." Owen and Nora nodded.

What they could do was to divert the attention of other guests to ease Amelia's pressure.

Seeing this, Maryanne showed an evil smile and followed Eve, while Hobart looked at Amelia with a complicated feeling.

When Amelia saw they walking to her, she subconsciously straightened her back and was not afraid at all.

She glanced at Patrick. She thought that Patrick wouldn't trust her, so she didn't expect his help.

Then Amelia looked at Maryanne and Hobart, only to see the happy smile on Maryanne's face. In other people's eyes, Maryanne was happy because she found her brooch. Only Amelia knew what Maryanne was really happy about.

However, Hobart's eyes were full of suspicion, as if he did not believe that Amelia had stolen the brooch.

Seeing this, Amelia suddenly felt ridiculous. She didn't expect that it would be Hobart who trusted her the most...

She turned her head and shouted at Milton who wanted to beat the police, "Milton! Calm down!"

Milton's fist stopped in the air. He said to Amelia seriously, "Amelia, you didn't steal the brooch! I believe you!"

Amelia smiled gently and said, "Since you believe me, don't say that you want to take me away anymore. Otherwise, they will think that I want to abscond to avoid punishment."

Maryanne's voice sounded, "So you're the one who stole my brooch, Madam Amelia Ramsay? As a manager of Roxxon Corporation, you were befuddled by a craving for my brooch. I didn't expect that you're such a shameless woman."

The words "Roxxon Corporation" made Eve's face turn gloomy instantly. What she didn't want to see the most had happened.

"No, I have to stop it! I can't let Amelia ruin the reputation of Patrick and the company!" Eve said in her heart.

Under other people's sarcastic and derogatory eyes, Amelia looked at them calmly and said, "I didn't steal your brooch, your words should be based on your conscience."
