Chapter 380
Facing the puzzled look in Jessica's eyes, Amelia laughed dryly and said matter-of-factly, "I didn't know where the
address is. You toldyourself before you got on the car." "Really?" asked Jessica, but her voice ebbed and
flowed.
"Sure!" Amelia nodded immediately, "I guess you're so focused on what happened today that you forgot what
you have said to me."
Frowning, Jessica replied in distress, "Maybe."
Amelia heaved a sigh of relief secretly.
After a pause, she heard Jessica speaking, "There is an elevator in the apartment. | can go up by myself. You
don't have to go with me. | don't want to introduce you to that shameful woman. She doesn't deserve it!"
After Jessica and Sierra went out of her sight, Amelia put on a stern look, turned the car around, and headed to
Roxxon Corporation.
At the president's office.
The secretary yawned. When no one was watching, she stretched herself and found a figure suddenly rushed out
from the elevator door. She took a closer look and exclaimed, "Hey! Manager Ramsay?" Amelia asked politely,
"Miss, is Mr. Hopper here? | want to see him."
The secretary paused for a moment before she said, "Manager Ramsay, unfortunately, Mr. Hopper has a client in
his office and may not be available to meet you now." Amelia was too anxious to care about the client. "But |
need to see him now! Please tell him for me," she demanded.
The secretary was silent for a moment. If it weren't for the fact that she knew Amelia was not an unreasonable
woman, she would have called the security guards long ago. "Alright. I'll go in and ask if he wants to see you."
"Thank you!"
A few seconds later, the secretary cout of the office and closed the door. She said to Amelia with
confidence, "Mr. Hopper said that he's not available to see you now." Amelia said meaningfully, "I don't think he's
not available. Instead, he must be too guilty to see me!"
With that, she directly passed the secretary, who was too overwhelmed by Amelia's determination to stop her.
When the secretary cto her senses, the door had been slammed shut by Amelia. She could only silently
pray that Mr. Hopper would not blher later.
As for Amelia, after breaking into the office, she glanced around with her beautiful eyes and found no client here
at all!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe secretary must have made up an impromptu excuse after receiving orders from Patrick that he wouldn't see
anyone.
She kept warning herself to calm down before she neutrally talked to the man on the sofa reading documents,
"Patrick, please stop."
Patrick was still calm. "Manager Ramsay, did you forget that you're in the company and | am your boss? Do you
believe it's appropriate for you to call my first ndirectly?" Sh*t! Since she needed his help, she had to
swallow it.
She forced a sweet smile and began, "Mr. Hopper, Jessica is one of the few friends | have since | was a child. Can
you please doa favor and leave her alone?"
But the man, who had claimed that he seemed to like her this morning, looked cold now. "Sorry, | can't
do it."
He said he "can't", which somehow indicated that he had no other choices.
"You-" Amelia paused for a long tbefore she said, "You acted against Jessica because you found out that
she's Jocelyn's daughter?"
"That's right."
"But what if | tell you that Jessica doesn't like Jocelyn at all? If you decide to get Jocelyn out of your way, | have
no objection. But | can't let you hurt Jessica!"
Patrick raised his eyebrows, silently mocking her for overreaching herself.
He must have expected to see her getting worried by saying nothing. She asked, "What the hell do you want?"
Patrick sat cross-legged, in stark contrast with her anxiety. "I don't want to do anything. I just want them to move
out of the Northville."
Amelia was shocked. Patrick was perfect, except that sometimes he was too cruel to himself and even more
heartless to others. He not only punished those who offended him but also their families. "There's no room for
negotiation?"
Patrick glanced at her. "Although I drove her away, it doesn't prevent you from keep being her friend."
Amelia protested, "That's nonsense! You are my husband, yet you force her into a corner. How could we still be
friends after that?"
Patrick's eyes darkened. "If you don't want her to misunderstand you, you can tell her that it has nothing to do
with you. Indeed, when | carried out my plan, you did know nothing about it."
Amelia said gloomily, "Would you believeif | said that to you? Patrick, you never considered my feelings
when you took action. You kept troubling my friends and putin a dilemma!"
Patrick rose from the sofa at that, still
holding the documents in his hand
because he forgot to put them down.

Amelia, who had just calmed herself down, was irritated again. "What do you mean by saying it's because of me?
Are you trying to pin the blonfor the quarrel between your parents?" Patrick said stiffly, "You're part of
the reasons."
Amelia was speechless. Despite Eve's incomparably messed up personality, Patrick could never see what terrible
things she had done. No wonder Eve had reduced to such a completely twisted, condescending woman!
Seeing she was silent, Patrick glanced at her face and said softly, "I don't want to argue with you. Let's stop the
topic about your friend!"
Amelia didn't appreciate it. "Sorry to disappoint you. Just as you have said, you have your reasons and | have
mine. We'll see whether Jessica'll go or stay!"
Patrick grabbed her little chin and said unhappily, "Amelia, I've tried all I can to reason with you. Let's not do this
the hard way!"
Amelia couldn't help but landed her gaze on his injured fist and muttered sadly, "Patrick, do you know what | fear

Patrick was almost lost in her tearful eyes. "What?"
