Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) -
Chapter 490
"In the three hours after you left." Shawn chimed in again.
"You, you're f*cking kidding me, aren't you?" Ursula had an expression that seemed to say that if Shawn lied to him again, he would flip out.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." With that, Shawn picked up the hat that had fallen on the leather seat and hid his complicated expression. He turned his head and pretended to fall asleep, disregarding how much noise Ursula was going to make by his side.
At the same time, in the bedroom of the second floor of Land of Fragrance.
After changing the sanitary napkin in the bathroom, Amelia laid on the bed with a refreshed spirit.
Fortunately, Patrick did not bother to argue with her this time, and on the contrary, he gave her encouragement. The reason for that was that she helped Leah replaceing her destiny, and he was gratified forthat.
In actuality, she knew that the real reason why Patrick was relieved was that he finally did not have to be aware of any action that would be made against him by the Dollar family.
Rest assured, she was still very curious about Leah's conduct of knocking Shawn unconscious. When she was pondering about when should she ask Leah about it, the phone that she threw on the bedsheet rang.
She glanced at it and found that it was Leah calling. Amelia immediately accepted with great interest.
From the other end of the phone, Leah sweetly called out, "Amelia!"
Amelia could tell that she was in a good mood, so she asked, "Tell me, what on earth did you do to that Superstar Shawn?"
Leah said wittingly, "Hehe, I took him to a hotel after he passed out and devoured him clean from beginning to the end!"
Amelia was so shell-shocked that she could hardly hold her phone steady. She sat up from lying down in an abrupt and asked in a thrilled tone, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly!" "Amelia, stop shouting. My eardrums are about to burst!"
Amelia's breath was unstable as she asked, "Where are you and Shawn now?"
"I'm in the hospital right now. As for Shawn, I don't know where he went after we've finished." "The hospital? Are you not feeling well?"
Leah smiled and said, "It's not me, actually. It's my grandmother."
"Your grandmother?"
"Well, because I called my mother and my grandmother over to the hotel to catch adultery in the act..."
Amelia sweated a little and asked, "And then?"
Leah smiled and answered, "And then my grandmother got so mad that she passed out. My mother could only send her to the hospital first." Upon hearing Leah's tone, Amelia could not help but feel bewildered at how relaxed Leah was. "Your grandma fainted. Aren't you worried?" Leah said, "Of course, I'm worried. That's why I told you I'm in the hospital now."
The overwhelming amount of information was unloading onto her mind slowly. Then, Amelia said in confusion, "But... even if you did that to Shawn, and asked your mother and grandmother to come over to catch him in the act, what if... they don't admit it? You're a girl, won't you get the worst of it then?"
Leah said matter-of-factly, "Oh, about this, I've long thought about it. My mother and grandmother arrived at the scene closely followed by the paparazzi that I had arranged in advance. If it all happens within my expectations, I think the incident
about Shawn and I getting a room in the hotel will be on the news tonight."
""Amelia gasped in admiration!
Leah continued, "Once this matter makes more noise, even if Shawn doesn't want to take the responsibility, my family will certainly be too embarrassed to entrust me to Cousin Patrick. After all, he isn't some recycling station."
Although she was surprised with her, Amelia thought of another hidden vulnerability. "Leah, if Shawn doesn't want to hold this accountable, what about your reputation?"
"Amelia, what you should be worrying about right now is Shawn's reputation. As for me, I feel like I've won for being able to simultaneously sleep with my idol for free and solve problems that have been troubling me for years. Amelia, my grandmother seems to have woken up. Let's talk next time."
After the call, Amelia did not know what to say.
At this moment, Patrick's footsteps sounded at the door. Seeing her sitting on the bed and staring at the phone in a daze, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you talking to? You're spacing out." "Huh?" Amelia came back to her senses and took a look at him. She said, "I've just finished talking to Leah. I just wanted to ask her what's going on there." Patrick snorted coldly. "What else could have happened? Shawn might've already been licked clean by now."
Shock presented on Amelia's face. "How did you know?"
Patrick sat on the side of the bed with a faint dignity on his face, "You should think about from which family Leah is from."
"The Hopper Family," Amelia answered naturally.
Patrick humphed and said as if it was a matter of course, "Isn't that enough?"
Amelia was bemused. "From what you've said, it's typical of The Hopper Family's sons to seize something by force rapaciously? And it doesn't discriminate between men and women?"
Assessing the beauty of Amelia, Patrick evinced, "It's not a bad thing to snatch by force. At least you get what you most wanted in the shortest amount of time."
"This train of thought is truly savage!" thought Amelia.
Amelia could not help but blurted, "But Owen isn't that way!"
Patrick's gaze froze for a moment, and then he asked with interest, "Then what kind of person do you think my brother is?"
Amelia recounted carefully and said, "When it comes to work, he has accurate marksmanship. He's upright and meticulous when dealing with problems, and he's not afraid of danger. In the family, the treatmen he gives to our sister-in-law and the two children is obvious. I have never heard them say a single bad thing about your brother..."
Patrick's handsome face gradually darkened with gloom as he listened to Amelia's praises.
Although his elder brother Owen was also an outstanding person to him, he felt unexplainably unhappy when he heard the comments came out of Amelia's mouth.
His dissatisfaction made him subconsciously wanting to break the conversation. "If you knew how he and my sister-in-law met, you wouldn't say that."
Amelia looked up at him and gossiped on. "Then tell me. How did our brother and sister-in-law get to know each other?"
Patrick treaded lightly, "Before sister-in-law married my brother, she had a boyfriend who was sent to prison because of company bankruptcy. After my brother took a fancy to her, he told her that as long as she married him, her boyfriend would naturally be fine."
Amelia's big eyes widened. "Are you kidding me?
He...he was deliberately kicking her when she was
down!"
If it was someone else who said the phrase 'kicking her when she was down', Patrick would have been absolutely happy to send that person to Owen's place and had them shot to death.
But since it was coming from Amelia, it felt much easier to accept.
He even replied leisurely, "Right?"
Thinking of the help Owen had given her yesterday, Amelia could not help but wanted to speak for him. "But even so, from the current life of sister-in-law and their children, it's obvious how much Owen loves her and his family."
Patrick held her chin in his fingers and jerked it to look at him. He lowered his eyes and grumbled, ""Owen' here, 'Owen' there. Since when did you become so close with him?"
