Chapter 317
Having no choice but to go ahead and sit on the couch, Amelia turned around when Patrick looked up at her. She
cto him in such a hurry because of the cemetery matter, right?
It looked like... she had figured it out?
After making him wait in the study for so long last night, it would be better to ignore her for a while.
With this in mind, Patrick continued to attend to his business, pretending not to see Amelia.
Amelia waited for a long tand suddenly realized that waiting like this was not the way to go. What was
Patrick doing to buy the cemetery? Was it to make her bow down and beg him? Since that's the case... she would
just go along with his idea!
Getting up, Amelia walked over to Patrick's body, and seeing that he was still staring at the computer screen
without looking away, she made a bold decision to just move his laptop away!
If it were anyone else, Patrick would have been furious, but when it was Amelia, it all beceasier to accept.
He leaned his back on the leather seat and watched comfortably as Amelia made her next move.
In that case, let her be frank!
She walked over to where he had placed his laptop before and, to Patrick's surprise, took the initiative to take
both of his hands and wrap them around her waist and said, "I have something to discuss with you!"
Patrick's expression suddenly turned wicked as he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and asked, "What
are you doing? Wantto play with you?"
Amelia was annoyed, "I'm not role-playing with you right now! I'm serious!"
"Are you serious about askingto play your rules?" Patrick was still teasing her.
Pouting her lips, Amelia tried to be patient and said, "I'll just be straightforward. Can you withdraw from the
competition for the cemetery?"
Once Hobart and Patrick compete, it would be as impossible to clean up the mess as two lions fighting. If they
both raised their bids wildly at the auction, she would not be able to buy the land even if she sold her shares of
Apex Construction Corporation or sold the entire company!
The only way out of this was to dissuade Patrick from the competition so that Hobart, without a competitor,
would surely lose interest in the cemetery, and her pressure would be minimized at once! "You wantto quit?"
Patrick met her worried eyes and said cruelly, "No, impossible!"
Amelia said cautiously, "Just take it as a good thing that | owe you. Lendmoney and I'll take it to the auction.
We're the couple. There's no need to do this, right?"

Patrick only felt that these words were extremely ironic. Since they were the couple, why didn't she rely on him
more? Why did he have to force her to cto him?
"So, do you still want to sell the shares of Apex Construction Corporation?" he asked.
She sighed. "I won't sell it... Anyway, you don't wantto sell it!"
Patrick's expression softened a little. This stupid woman's status in The Ramsay Family was already very low, if
she sold her shares, it would be even worse for her in The Ramsay Family in the future. He said, "I agree."
Amelia was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. "Did you agree to withdraw from the competition?"
Patrick glanced at her overjoyed face and smiled faintly. "Yeah," he said.
Amelia wanted to prepare him mentally: "But this tit might cost you a lot of money."
Patrick looked at her incredulously, "Who am | to you?"
Amelia felt uneasy and asked, "Husband?"
Patrick was upset. Why was she using a questioning tone?
Well... it was better for her to have this knowledge than not!
"It's only right for my wife to spend my money, and besides, it's the only thing | can do for your mother."
Amelia was so moved by his words that she wanted to cry, but in order not to be noticed by him, Amelia reached
around his neck and rested her head on his chest, feeling the warmth of his body, "Thank you, hank you so
much..."
He sometimes showed tenderness, the dominance to make her heart flutter, she promised herself not to fall in
love with him, but she still could not control it...
Patrick kissed her ear and said in a husky voice, "But I'd like to ask for a little rewards first, now."
Amelia took his reckless hand away from her chest and said glumly, "Don't think about that stuff in such a cozy
moment, okay?"
Patrick said unjustly, "But that's my way of expressing warmth."
"You jerk!" Amelia glared at him, then left his body, grabbed her bag, and walked away...
"Reaching your goal and running away is pretty slick!" Patrick looked regretfully at his hand, missing the warmth
of her chest.
At the sales department.
Amelia returned to her department with a big smile on her face after solving her biggest worry.
Without her right-hand man these days, Lily Seth was so busy that she thought she was hallucinating the second
she saw Amelia.
Amelia called "Lily Seth" twice before Lily Seth hesitantly asked, "Amelia, you're finally coming to work?"
Doris echoed, "Amelia, many regular customers are looking for you lately. | can't handle it at all!"
Amelia felt embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm still on vacation."
The sales department fell into a dead silence.
Amelia didn't know how to do it because everyone was eager for her to cback to work.
She reassured everyone, "But I'll be back as soon as | can."
Lily Seth took advantage of what she said and asked, "Then... tomorrow?"
Amelia gave her an answer in silence.
Knowing that she could not cback to work for the tbeing, Lily Seth sighed sadly.
"Oh yes!" Doris suddenly thought of something and immediately went back to her seat and found a beautiful
envelope and handed it to Amelia.
Amelia was confused, "What is this?"
Doris said, "This was sent up by the
security guard PERO! Reripll
was sometinacol yo “and | was
thinking when to call you to come
and pick it up." The content is on

On the way home, Amelia opened the envelope out of curiosity and saw a movie ticket and an invitation card.
She opened the invitation card and
saw "Shawn Haward" on it, which
made her surprised, @rmed ai that
temaridw Aohtwas the premiere of
his new movie, and Shawn issued
this invitation to ask her to
participate in it. The content is on

In a sense, Amelia and Shawn had a
"special friendship”, Shawn was an
actor she had always admired, hey
had SSH precios {hestion and
Trovit tickets, if she did not attend, it
seemed not good. Unfortunately,
there was only one ticket, otherwise,
she could have gone to the movie
with Patrick. The content is on

What should she do...
At that moment, a phone call interrupted Amelia's worries and she looked at the screen of her phone, it was
Daniel.
She answered and said quickly, "Daniel, I'm officially informing you that my shares in Apex Construction
Corporation... are not for sale!"
