Chapter 371
There was one thing Amelia was most afraid of, and that was ghost. When she had just married into the Hopper
Family, Florence had put sghost movies in Amelia and Patrick's bedroom and almost scared Amelia to death.
Hobart let out two muffled laughs and gloated, "Why are you so nervous? That was my hand!"
She paused for a short while before getting furious. "Pervert, why were you groping about?"
"Alright, | know you're just unwilling to leave me. Let's just keep it this way." Hobart said as he ran his hand up to
her shoulder in an unruly manner.
Amelia grabbed it and shook it off. She said angrily, "If you touchagain, I'll be rude and you'll be sorry!"
"When have you ever been polite to me? Stop wriggling..." Hobart mumbled.
As they were talking, they saw a strong light shooting toward them from the door. Amelia and Hobart blinked at
the sudden light and turned their heads to the source of it at the stime. What they saw were Patrick's dark
eyes.
"Oh!" Amelia cto herself first. Since there had never been a blackout in the company, she forgot that almost
every office had a backup power supply in case of inconvenience caused by the power outage. "Mr. Hopper..."
She looked at Patrick, who had turned on the backup power, and had no tto realize how intimate Hobart and
she looked in such a position.
When he saw that she was still unwilling to get up from Hobart, Patrick's eyes turned icy cold. He gritted his
teeth and turned to leave.
"Was that real? He just left like that?" Hobart asked Amelia in surprise.
Amelia's eyes went dark slightly. Generally speaking, when Patrick was truly indignant, he left her alone directly.
"Hobart, I'm leaving." She turned around and said to Hobart before getting up and running in the direction
Patrick had come.
Hobart touched his chest, which was still warm, and spoke out the true feelings of him as a single man. "If only
there was a woman... willing to run afterwithout any hesitation."
Just as he had finished his sentence, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket. Hobart took it out to have a look
and was amused. When he put it through, his tone returned to the usual casualness. "Florence didn't we just
break up yesterday? You can't help callingtoday. Are you falling in love with me?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Love you, my a*s!" Florence cursed. "I've been thinking about it again and again. My sister-in-law can work
overtany day she likes, but she does today of all days. Are you the one playing tricks?" Hobart frowned.
"Sister-in-law? Who are you talking about?"
Florence let out a short "Er" before she said with a quick wit, "Well, of course, | was talking about Amelia. To me,
she is the most suitable woman to be my sister-in-law. | warn you, don't try to covet her, otherwise, | will beat
the sh*t out of you!"
Hobart said disapprovingly, "She and Patrick don't even know each other. Isn't it too soon for you to call her
sister-in-law? As long as we are unmarried, | have the right to go after her."
"B*lIshit right!" Florence wished she could announce that Amelia had married into the Hopper Family. But when
she thought of Patrick's gloomy face, she shut up.
Hobart seemed to have thought of something and asked in confusion, "Florence, tell me, did Patrick cto the
company all of a sudden because you told him something?"
Florence said proudly, "I was just skeptical at first. | remember that when | was taking care of you in the hospital
the day before yesterday, | accidentally told you about Patrick's birthday. As a result, Amelia somehow went to
work overtime. Don't you think it's strange?"
Hobart was frustrated. He thought he had taken everything into consideration. He first kept Amelia from home
by the excuse of work, then he cto Roxxon to visit her in the nof supervision. In the end, he even
secretly had his helper cut off Roxxon's wire so that he could take advantage of her tonight. He did not expect
his plan to be messed up by this godd*mn Florence!
On the other side.
Under the dim light, Amelia rushed out of the office. By the wind of the night in the corridor, she tried to figure
the thing out. Why did Patrick appear in the company at such a late hour? Did he cto pick her up?
Then why would he appear almost at the stas Hobart? Could it bethat Hobart asked Patrick to come
here on purpose to provoke him by creating such an intimate scene?
Only half of Amelia's guess was correct. But a correct assumption didn't help. The most important thing now was
to find Patrick and explain it to him clearly.
Downstairs, the sound of a car unlocked was heard through the night sky. Amelia froze. She cto the window
and looked down, only to find that a Lamborghini was speeding out of her sight.
"Patrick! Hey! Wait for me!" Amelia stood by the window shouting and waving, only to be answered by the cold
wind of the night.
She stamped her foot and took out her mobile phone in a hurry. Then she turned on the light, ran downstairs,
and went to the underground garage to fetch her car.
Patrick put his Bluetooth headset on his ear after leaving Roxxon Corporation and made a phone call to Cynthia.
"Patrick, I'm flying to the United States the day after tomorrow. Would you cto the F&S Club tonight?
| want you to have a drink withand talk to me."
Patrick pondered for a few seconds before he said, "You're just recovering. You shouldn't drink."
Cynthia said in a sweet voice, "| just want to be willful once in a while. Please, cto me. | promise that | will
only drink a little and never get drunk."
Patrick thought for a while. He had
promised Cynthia that he would hang
out with her be¥hé eft Shroad.

She called Patrick immediately, only to find that his phone had been busy. Amelia put down the phone in
frustration. Patrick could have blacklisted her number in a fit of anger.
After a glance at the time, Amelia
realized she was late for the agreed

The two cars, with the different thoughts of the two owners, went further and further apart...
At F&S Club.
"Gorgeous, would you like to have a drink with me?"
Glancing at the frivolous man in a suit in front of her, Cynthia had obvious disdain appearing on her pretty face.
"I'm sorry, | have a date."
The suited man's gaze seemed to be solidified as it ran down Cynthia's peachy breasts, bare waist, and finally,
her long legs in short pants... Looking at her, the man in the suit drooled.
