In the bedroom.

Patrick threw Amelia to the wall and asked aggressively before she could stand firmly, "What do you think? Do you have anything to say this time?"

Amelia rubbed her somewhat painful arm and lowered her head, "I didn't deny it and I didn't admit it either. It was you who misunderstood."

Patrick frowned, "You're really stubborn!"

Amelia could not bear it anymore, "Patrick... I've been looking for you all night!"

At first, Patrick was stunned. He said disdainfully, "Can you make up a decent excuse please. You told Hayden that you were waiting for the sunrise at the top of the mountain. Now, right in front of me, you're telling me you have been looking for me all night. Are you going to use the same tricks like you did in front of me and Ryan? Unfortunately, I won't be cheated again this time!"

After finishing his sarcastic words, Patrick did not want to look at her anymore. Just like when he arrived, he slammed the door and left.

Amelia's body shook and she said in a downcast tone, "I really didn't lie to you this time around..." However, it was too late to say anything. Patrick and she were already separated from each other by the door. Amelia fell down on the bed and a cold voice sounded in her heart. "You reaped what you sow!"

All of a sudden, the sound of something being broken came from Patrick's bedroom. The suffocating feeling that she had just experienced in the bathroom came to her mind immediately. Amelia slowly put her hand on her head and curled up her body bit by bit. This posture seemed to make her feel peaceful.

Inside the master bedroom, Patrick's face was still terrible after he had finished throwing things around. All this while, he had gradually placed his trust in Amelia's hands. But what about her? She had completely failed to live up to his trust!

His cell phone on the bed suddenly rang.

He grabbed the phone impatiently and saw that it was a number without any caller ID. Patrick hung up the call without hesitation.

After hanging up, it rang again.

Patrick raised his eyebrow and he thought it must be a client whose contact he had forgotten to save. He took a deep breath and answered, "Patrick Hopper here."

His tone was a bit rude because of his unstable mood.

The person on the phone was impolite as well. He asked, "Patrick, did Amelia meet up with you?"

Patrick had a different understanding of meet up. He asked, "Are you asking if she came home?"

Ryan wanted to ask if Amelia had caught up with Patrick. However, when he heard what Patrick said, it seemed as if nothing was wrong so he answered, "Yes, I just wanted to make sure that she reached home safely."

Patrick asked, "Why didn't you call her if you wanted to know?"

Ryan sounded anxious and helpless. "If it wasn't for the fact that Amelia's cell phone was turned off, I wouldn t have disturbed you. If you have any news about Amelia, please tell me!" "Please?" Patrick's expression grew colder when he heard Ryan's words. "You just stayed overnight together with her on top of the mountain for one night. Where's your pride?" Ryan was unwilling to ask Patrick for help with the marketing problem and now he was actually begging Patrick? Patrick thought that he had misheard the conversation. Ryan had been chewing his words "overnight" on the phone. For some reason, his voice had grown heavy. "Do you think that I'm the one who's been with Amelia all night?"

"Then who else?"

"Did that mean she had been looking for you all night and still couldn't replace you?" Ryan sighed, "If I had known that she couldn't replace you, I wouldn't have let her leave the mountain alone. She couldn't replace you and now she was the one who got lost?"

His words made Patrick's pupils shrink.

'Patrick... I spent the whole night looking for you.'

'Unfortunately, I won't be cheated again this time!'

Patrick was lost in his thoughts when Ryan roared, "Patrick! If Amelia couldn't replace you, then where is she now? You have connections everywhere, you would know right?"

"She's at home." Patrick said with a stiff face. He hung up the phone immediately, and did not care whether Ryan believed it or not.

He dashed out of the door like an arrow and rushed towards Amelia's room.

He pushed the door open with all his strength and saw the vacant bedroom.

He turned around and hurried down the stairs, just in time to collide with the housekeeper who was going to clean up the room.

The housekeeper looked at him and asked, "Mr. Hopper, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Patrick suddenly grabbed the housekeeper's shoulders. While she was at a loss, he asked gloomily, "Where's Amelia?"

The housekeeper said, "Miss Amelia? She went out."

Patrick asked, "When did she go out? Did she tell you where she was going?"

The housekeeper explained frantically after she was frightened by the maliciousness on Patrick's face, "She went out just now! She didn't say where she was going!"

Patrick released her, "If Amelia comes home, tell her to come to me." Then he went upstairs.

The housekeeper finished talking and left with fear, "Okay."

Patrick who was in the master bedroom had the idea of calling Amelia. However, when he remembered that Ryan had told him Amelia's mobile phone was turned off, his eyes darkening. He did not believe it and he tried to phone her. However, he only heard a cold voice from the phone saying, "Sorry, the number you have dialed could not be reached".

He cursed in his heart, "D*mn it!" Patrick really couldn't do anything with Amelia. Her cell phone was out of power and she still wanted to go out. Didn't she know that someone might worry about her?

He suddenly felt a strong sense of unease as if Amelia would be gone forever. Then... for the moment, he had no choice but to call the police! Owen's occupation made it easier for Patrick to deploy his men. He quickly found Owen's number in his contacts and made a call to him.

In less than two seconds, the phone was connected and Owen said, "Hello..."

Patrick concentrated, "Owen, Amelia is missing! Hurry up and send some people to help me replace her!"

"How long had she been missing?"

"Since just now!"

The phone was silent for a while. Then he slowed down his nervous tone and said with a smile, "Patrick, don't be nervous. I'll share you a joke."

Patrick's face darkened. "I'm not in the mood to listen to your joke."

Owen threatened, "After you listen to my joke, I'll go and help you to look for her."

Patrick did not say anything, he waited silently waiting for him to continue.

Owen said each word slowly, "I received a phone call from my peer this morning. He told me that Amelia and you got lost at Mount Logan and she couldn't replace you. So Amelia had no choice but to make a police report. However, she called home after a while and found out that you're home. Patrick, do you think this joke is funny?" "Patrick?"

The corners of Patrick's lips tugged into a smile when he heard this. "She's really over reacting. Did I disappear for that long?"
