Chapter 917
"Patrick..." Sissi was standing between Howard and his son, saying goodbye to Patrick reluctantly.
Under Howard's cold stare, she did not dare to do anything. She only dared to say to Patrick, "You must cto
visit me!" Patrick nodded. "I will."
Staring at Patrick's handsface, Sissi's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She almost jumped into his arms
and cried. Howard could not help but urged her coldly, "Can we go now?"
Sissi's heart tightened. No matter how reluctant she was, she could only turn around and leave.
Amelia raised her eyebrows and thought, "Such a beautiful scene. If | were Patrick, | would have taken Sissi with
Thinking of this, she tilted her neck and looked confusedly at Patrick. "It was strange. Didn't the two of them love
each other to death? Why did he just let Sissi get taken away?"
"Was it that... compared to his beloved and child, power was more important to Patrick?" Amelia thought
confusingly.
Sensing that Amelia was looking at him unabashedly, Patrick quickly turned around after closing the door. His
dark eyes fell on her face and he said, "Now there are only the two of us left." Amelia asked, "So?"
Patrick passed her and walked over to the sofa. Before he sat down, he took out a cigarette and a lighter from his
trouser pocket and asked Amelia, "Can you givea minute?"
Amelia said indifferently, "Okay, but please don't smoke." "Because it was not good for the baby," Amelia
thought to herself.
Patrick tossed the cigarette case and lighter on the coffee table and sat down after hearing this. His long legs
overlapped slowly, and his deep eyes locked on to Amelia again. He invited her, "Have a sit?" Amelia did not
refuse because they really needed a good talk.
She bent her knees and sat on the sofa next to Patrick. She frowned when she noticed him staring at her

However, he might be seeing the wrong person. He should use his gaze on Sissi.
Amelia scoffed.
At this moment, Patrick said, "I have to clarify one thing. The baby in Sissi's belly doesn't belong to me."
There was deep sarcasm in Amelia's delicate eyes. She squinted at him and said, "You know what, when | was
listening to your words it was like listening to a play. But your performance was not very wonderful and could
even be said to be full of loopholes!"
Patrick said sincerely, "I don't need to lie to you. Sissi is pregnant with her current husband, Christian! When she
cback to Northville, Christian cfrom abroad and got tangled with her. She got pregnan at that time."
Amelia's eyes were expressionless, "Oh? What a coincidence."
Patrick frowned slightly after hearing her distrusting answer, "Yes, it's just a coincidence. More coincidentally,
dad suddenly cto Sissi's house. To protect her from dad's harm, | can only lie that the baby in her belly is
mine."
Amelia felt dizzy after hearing it. She felt that what happened made her feel as if she was on a roller coaster,
twinning her upside down.
She just felt that Patrick and Sissi had hurt her together. Later he cto tell her that the baby in Sissi's belly
had nothing to do with him. Could she still believe in his nonsense?
Patrick saw that she was in a daze and knew that she could not digest it in a short time. So he just sat there
quietly and waited for her to give him a response.
After a long time, Amelia put away the sluggishness on her face and asked, "Does that mean, you two ganged up
and deceived dad?"
Patrick looked at her in surprise. Why was the first person that she thought of Howard, not herself? When she
heard that her husband had not cheated on her, should she not be happy for her marriage? Patrick answered
'yes' in a low voice, "We had no other choice but to deceive dad. Sissi could only survive when dad thought that
the child belonged to the Hopper Family. But, I...have never touched her at all. Amelia asked, "What about you
guys checking in the Escalt Hotel?"
Patrick told her the story of Sissi forgetting to bring her identification card. To avoid any misunderstanding, he
pinched off the part in the bathroom. He just said that he retreated and rested in the room next to Sissi's room
after sending her back to her room.
Amelia raised her hand to touch her lips and said with a faint smile, "I didn't expect that you would be able to
hold yourself. If | hadn't slept with you, | would doubt if you were impotent."
Patrick's face turned red. He did not think that Amelia was praising him at all but still said in a friendly way,
"Though I don't know how to answer it, | still thank you for your compliment."
Amelia looked at him with disdain and said, "But how can | know that this is not another trap? Patrick, let's be
honest. Are you afraid that | will call your grandpa and tell him about Sissi and the divorce? So, to comfort me,
you hurriedly dissociate yourself from Sissi?"
She had experienced this before, just like Daniel in those days. Oh, what did Daniel say to her? Oh, he said that
Brittany was pregnant and threatened him with her death. So he could only love her in the next life!
"F*ck him for his love in the next life!" Amelia thought angrily.
She decisively said goodbye to Daniel.
She thought there was always light at the end of the tunnel. But in the end, she fell into Patrick. And what this
man did was no better than Daniel!
In fact... he was even more wicked!
If it was Daniel that had wasted a period of her youth, then Patrick was the one who spoiled half of her life!
Patrick reciprocated Amelia's suspicion with an arrogant smile and said, "Do you think that I'm insisting that |
have nothing to do with the baby because I'm reluctant to part with my prosperity?"
Amelia looked back at him. "Isn't that so?"
Patrick raised his voice and said, "If something happened betweenand Sissi, and she is pregnant with my
child, I will acknowledge them! | will even give up everything and divorce you. Do you doubt that | will take her
far away?"
Amelia laughed coldly and said, "Now you say it like it's nothing."
Patrick narrowed his eyes. "Do you think | can't make it without the Hopper Family as my backer? | might as well
tell you that once I'm cast out of the Hopper Family, the one who will suffer the most wouldn't be me. Instead,
it'll be dad and grandpa who will suffer!
Other than me, is there anyone else in the family who can take over the position that | am currently in?"
Amelia blurted, "Owen could!"
