Patrick responded, "I own the company. It's my decision whether to work or not." Daniel smiled self-deprecating, "I almost forgot, you come from a wealthy family."

Patrick said to Daniel, "I heard that Apex Construction Corporation is not doing so well these days. Will you be too busy to develop the project and take care of Amelia's father?"

Daniel smiled slightly. "No, I rather think it's a kind of training for me. In that case, you inherited Roxxon Corporation when it was at its peak, so there are few opportunities for you to use your talent, right?" Listening to their conversation all mocking each other, Amelia interrupted them, and coldly said to Daniel, "Can you put my dad's blouse back on before we talk?"

Daniel hesitated for a moment, then looked at her and said, "But his back hasn't been cleaned..."

Amelia said calmly, "Let me do it."

Daniel handed over the towel in her hand. Just when Amelia was about to take it, Daniel's hand suddenly loosened, and the towel was about to fall down between them.

Before the towel fell to the ground, Amelia grabbed it. At the same time, Daniel who was going to grab the towel grabbed her hand accidentally!

"Let go!"

"I'm sorry."

Facing Amelia's indifferent look, Daniel withdrew his hand in a gentlemanly manner.

Patrick watched their little antics with displeasure.

Seeing Amelia busy, Daniel volunteered, "I'll help you hold your dad."

"No need." Amelia said coldly, turning to look at Patrick, "Mr. Hopper, could you come over and do me a favor? My dad's a little heavy."

At that, Daniel felt a little disappointed, but he did not show any displeasure.

"No problem." Patrick walked towards her immediately.

Amelia made the right decision at this time. If she asked Daniel to help her, then the reaction of Patrick would not be as kind as it was now.

Daniel was like an outsider, unable to interfere at all. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Amelia, do you need me to help you with the matter regarding your mother's mausoleum on Rosan Road?"

Amelia was shocked. She turned around and asked, "How did you know? Did Alice tell you?"

Daniel put on a sorrowful expression. "Have you forgotten? When I was in college, you once told me the address of your mother's mausoleum garden, this matter I have always remembered, some time ago I saw the news, said the mausoleum garden will soon be auctioned throughout the city, I would like to replace an opportunity to ask you what you think about it."

Amelia was ready to say something when she suddenly felt Patrick's gaze. After taking a deep breath, she said to Daniel, "It's my business, so you shouldn't ask about it."

Daniel said, "That's a lot of money, so why don't I borrow Apex Construction Corporation's name and auction it for you?"

Patrick was surprisingly quiet at this moment, he wanted to hear if Amelia would accept Daniel's kind offer!

Amelia, unwilling to owe Daniel a favor, shook her fist and said, "If I say I'm willing to sell the portion of Apex Construction Corporation that belongs to me in exchange for..." "Amelia!" Patrick interrupted her.

Amelia was so shocked that she stopped saying.

To prevent losing control of himself in front of Daniel, Patrick tried his best to calm himself down and said, "Come out with me!"

Amelia's face turned pale. She thought he was probably angry, but she didn't ask her ex-boyfriend for help. She just wanted to sell part of her shares.

Daniel stared at Amelia's back. He was so close to her hand over her shares, but Patrick came out to interfere with it at this time!

In the corridor.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I think this is my own business!"

Patrick took a deep breath, "It's your own business?" "Yes..." It's no one else's business, she needed to guard her mother herself!

It wasn't that Amelia hadn't thought about pleading with her mother's family, but ever since Petty had committed suicide, the Simmons family had no longer cared about her and her mother. Petty's death made the Simmons family disappointed in her mother, so they didn't like her either.

It is better to ask for help from herself than from others. She couldn't even rely on her bloodline Simmons family, and her only remaining leverage was the Apex Construction Corporation shares left to her by Petty.

Patrick frequently glanced at her tightly pursed lips. He thought, was it that hard to ask him? As long as Amelia asked, he could buy her the whole Northville, let alone a cemetery!

But she just didn't say anything, allowing the silence to bury them.

Patrick was patient and asked, "Amelia, are you sure you have nothing to say to me?"

Among all the people she knew, he was probably the only one who didn't know where her mother's grave was? It was even more ridiculous that... he was her husband!

Begging him? It was not that Amelia hadn't thought about it, but the idea frightened her. The value of the land was so high in Northville, and Patrick had a bad temper. What if he threatened her with this in the future?

"I'm sure..." When she answered, her palms were sweating nervously for fear that he would be

furious.

Hearing that, he sneered and said, "Well, since it's your own business, you can solve it yourself!"

At Roxxon Corporation.

After Patrick broke the nibs of three pens and destroyed five pieces of contracts, his secretary asked with trepidation, "Mr. Hopper, are you tired? Do you want to take a break before continuing?"

Patrick silently pulled open the drawer in front of him and took out a pen again, but it seemed that something came to his mind, the nib was broken again with the force of his fingers, and the ink spilled on the contract, making a mess.

The secretary was so tired that the contract was ruined one after another. Was Mr. Hopper deliberately trying to add to her workload?

Patrick frowned, thinking of other things. Amelia's stubbornness put him in a dilemma. She did not want to bow down, even if he forced her, it would only result in a lose-lose situation.

Instead of forcing her, it would be better to wait for her to lean over on him.

Thinking of an idea, Patrick no longer took out his anger with the pen, but seriously instructed his secretary, "Spread the news that Roxxon will get the land of Rosan Road Cemetery at all costs!" "Yes, boss!" said the secretary.

After dealing with this matter, Patrick leaned back in his chair, feeling more relaxed than ever. He thought, "what should Amelia do when her biggest opponent is him?"
