Eve was at a loss for words. She turned her away, making it clear that she didn't believe her.

Jocelyn looked down, took out her certificate from her handbag before bringing it to Eve sincerely. "Mrs. Hopper, if you have any doubts about my identity, I have brought my certificate for you to check." Eve didn't even cast it a glance. Her eyes were cold. "So what if you are a shrink? That is just another cover of yours to seduce men!"

Jocelyn said calmly, "Mrs. Hopper, if you can't trust your husband, I should resign in front of you..."

Howard said with emotions, "Dr. Bland, you don't have to do that. There's nothing between us. If you quit, doesn't it look more like we have an affair?"

"Clap!"

Eve reached out and slapped Jocelyn hard on the face! After that, Eve gave Jocelyn a hard push that knocked her down and brought her belongings all over the ground!

"Resign? Huh, do you think I don't know this trick? You are playing weak to get what you want? You want my husband to pity you? Not gonna happen!" Eve, who was mad, kicked Jocelyn on her belly! Jocelyn rolled on the ground in pain and looked very pitiful.

Among those in the room, only Howard dared to stand up for Jocelyn. He stepped forward bravely and stood in front of Eve before he said angrily, "Enough! You won't be satisfied until you kill her, right?" Eve glared at her husband and baked, "You feel bad, don't you? Tell you what, from now on, if I see you or replace out that you are staying together, not only will I beat her, but I'll also kill her!"

Howard faced his wife head-on. "Eve, I'm also telling you, if you dare to lay a finger on Dr. Bland, we don't have to be together any longer!"

Eve froze. After a moment of silence, she asked with trembling lips, "Are you going to divorce... For... her?"

Florence looked ten years older. "You made me! Since Amelia married Patrick, I've been fed up with you. One day, two days... one month, two months... How many times have you made a fuss over trivial things? Eve, no woman would ever be like you. The only thing you know is to make trouble for me and Amelia. I'm tired. I really don't know how to do with you anymore."

Eve's face turned gloomy. She asked desperately, "You mean you don't love me anymore?"

Patrick shot a sharp look at Howard. For a moment, the room was deadly silent.

"No..."

When the word came out of Howard's mouth, Eve's eyes turned red. She glanced at the fruit basket on the table and grabbed the knife from it before stabbing it at Jocelyn, who was getting up from the ground. "Since that's the case, you can die with her!" "Watch out!" No one knew who had shouted that, nor did they know it was for whom. When everyone regained their senses, they saw blood had covered the knife in Eve's hand and kept dripping on the ground.

"Howard!" Amelia cried out involuntarily!

"Howard!" Looking at the bloody scene in front of her, Granny Hopper was shocked and almost passed out again.

"Mr. Hopper..." Jocelyn was most shocked. She had never expected that to protect her, Howard would grab the knife that Eve aimed at her by his bare hand. As for the palm of his left hand, it was bloodily cut. Howard gripped the knife tightly. In Eve's hateful, hesitated, and panicked gaze, he said sadly, "Eve, don't make mistakes again and again..."

"Ah!" Eve shouted hysterically. She shook off the knife and stumbled out of the door.

Although he was injured, Howard was still calm in the midst of the chaos. "Patrick, hurry up, follow your mom. She's in an unstable mood. I'm afraid she'll get into trouble!"

With a sneer, Patrick looked at Howard as if he was looking at a stranger. He wasn't affected by the wounds on Patrick's hand at all. "You, and you..." His gaze fell on Jocelyn beside him. "If anything happens to my mother, I will never forgive any of you!"

With that, he turned and left.

Hearing his son's heartless announcement, Howard looked extremely painful. He gasped and collapsed on the sofa behind him.

Seeing that his hand was bleeding, Amelia ran upstairs as fast as she could to pick up the medicine chest, trying to bandage Howard.

Jocelyn extended her hand to Amelia with a worried look. "Miss, let me do it, please. After all, it's all because of me."

Amelia glanced at Howard. She didn't dare to hand the chest to Jocelyn until Howard nodded.

Granny Hopper was no less shocked than Eve and Patrick. She pointed at Howard and said angrily, "If your father replaces out what happened today, he'll break your leg!"

Howard opened his mouth and said, "Mom, I..."

"You don't have to explain! I didn't agree with you to be with Eve, but you insisted to marry her! Now you're tearing your family apart over an outsider! You let the entire family down!" Granny Hopper frowned and tears ran down along her face.

After temporarily stopping Jocelyn from bleeding, Jocelyn got up and said to Granny Hopper, "Madame, it's all my fault."

Frowning, Granny Hopper said, somewhat venting her anger, "Good for you to know that! If the Hopper Family was torn apart, you'll be the first to pay!"

"Mom!" Howard was dissatisfied.

"Shut up!" Granny Hopper interrupted angrily.

"Madame, please don't be mad. I'm leaving now!" Knowing that she was not welcomed by them, Jocelyn hurriedly picked up her belongings on the ground and was about to leave...

At such a serious moment, Howard didn't dare to ask her to stay.

"Wait a minute." Amelia suddenly called out to her.

Jocelyn turned around and looked at her with confusion.

"You left your cell phone." Since her phone had fallen in a place not easy to be noticed and Jocelyn was in a hurry, Amelia had to pick it up for her.

"Thank you." Jocelyn forced a smile, although it looked more like crying. When she reached out to take the phone, she accidentally pressed one of the keys. The moment the screen lit up, Jocelyn felt Amelia's hand froze. She asked, confused, "What's wrong with my phone?"

"Nothing..." Gazed by Jocelyn, Amelia felt that her heart was racing. She let go of her phone and pretended to ask casually, "That is your..."

Jocelyn smiled, "Oh, this is a photo of my daughter."
