Chapter 220
Amelia touched her face and thought to herself, if this cup hit her face, it would be disfiguring.
"Eve, what are you doing!" Howard's already arguing with the visitor.
Amelia trailed off to Eve, who hadn't dropped her hand, and said somewhat incredulously, "Eve? You... you
actually hitwith a glass?"
"Get out of my way!" Eve pushed Howard hard out of the way and drove a few steps towards Amelia, slapping
her in the face!
"You b*tch I'm telling you, the scandalous things you and Shawn have done are known all over the world!"
Eve's eyes reddened and the slap was given with such force that the right side of Amelia's face swelled up at
once.
Howard, the clerks, and the nearby customers were all stunned by the scene, but fortunately, it was working
hours and few Roxxon employees had tfor coffee, or else Amelia was about to face another round of gossip.
Howard yanked Eve's arm and yelled, "You're crazy! Didn't | tell you to stay home? What are you doing here?"
Eve's eyes were filled with madness, "Of course you don't wantto cto Roxxon to fool around, so you
secretly asked this little goblin to cto this cafe, but who am 1? I'm Patrick's own mother! | asked around at
the department and they toldwhere the b*tch was, and if you ask me, a dog would be more honest than this
woman!"
"Eve, you need to talk with respect!" Amelia couldn't contain her anger, she knew that Doris couldn't have
deliberately betrayed her whereabouts, so she resented Eve's words "a dog", Eve could insult her, but not her
family and friends!
Eve saw that Amelia now had the nerve to talk back to her and was furious with Howard who was in front of her,
"Let go! | need to..."
"You are going to hitagain, aren't you?" Amelia put the catch on for Eve, her right side of her face was now
burning and hurting. With the slap she'd gotten from Eve earlier at Land of Fragrance, coincidentally she'd gotten
slaps both her left and right side of her face, what a balance, she thought sarcastically.
Eve sneered, "You deserve it!"
Amelia looked at her and argued reasonably, "The reason | didn't dodge that slap earlier was that | knew your
anger made you do it! But that doesn't mean I'm wrong and will let you torment me. Howard and | originally
agreed to apologize to you when we get htonight, but with the glass you just threw plus that slap, I think
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat's enough to amendto you, | won't need to be condemned by you anymore!" Howard had Eve's hands
tied, stared at her, "If Amelia hadn't been quick enough to duck, you would have caused havoc! You go home
and I'll give you a satisfactory explanation."
Eve's eyes were filled with hatred, she already hated the woman who stole her son and her husband's trust, how
could she listen to Howard's advice, "I'm not going back! I'll ruin her face and see how she still ruins our family!"
As Amelia covered the right side of her face and hung her head, not knowing what to do, a reassuring figure
appeared in the doorway...
Patrick, who had an appointment here to talk business with a client, got a serious look on his face when he saw
Amelia, Howard and Eve.
He turned sideways and explained something first to his secretary, who nodded and took out his cell phone to
make a call to temporarily alter the tof his conversation with the client.
Patrick then ordered the store's waiters to ask the customers to leave and then told the owner to close the store.
The owner of the shop was a businessman who was dependent on Roxxon Corporation, so he dared not disobey
him and did everything he was told.
Only after those were done did he ctowards them.
The four of them took their seats.
"Mom, Dad, why are you here?" Patrick ordered a pot of herbal tea and proceeded to pour a cup each for his
exasperated parents.
Amelia was pulled by Patrick to sit next to him, and for sreason, she felt safe whenever he was around.
Eve looked askance at Amelia, that look filled with annoyance, "We're here because of this b*tch and that actor!"
Amelia defended herself softly and grievously, "What | did with Shawn is just a lie, if you don't believe me, you
can ask Howard or Patrick! You do know that Patrick respects you and listens to you the most, and he certainly
wouldn't lie to you!"
The last words Amelia said seemed to satisfy Eve, and Eve raised her chin proudly, "Yes, my son listens to me
best!"
Patrick comprehended her words, Amelia was quite smart enough to know to use him as an excuse to please his
mother, and he said smoothly, "Mom, you shouldn't be misled by the reports, this is indeed a misunderstanding,
and | have made plans regarding this matter that will not tarnish The Hopper Family's reputation.”
Eve was skeptical. "Really?"
Patrick softened at the right time, "How can I lie to you? Look, I'll call the house driver to cto pick you up
now, you just stay hand wait for my good news."
Eve nodded, "Okay, for what you say, | won't have to worry about that."
Seeing that Eve had been coaxed to stop being angry immediately by Patrick's words, Amelia was very
impressed with him.
She stole a glance at Patrick, who was taking an elegant sip of his coffee, and his unassuming manner was both
charming and a little proud.

Howard immediately interrupted her words, "No!"
"You!"
"I'm here to state one thing. Unless | die, Or else they can't divorce!"
In the face of Howard's resolute attitude, Eve was shocked. She shuddered and asked, "Why did you say so?"
