Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 382

As soon as the secretary left, worries appeared in Patrick's eyes. Were he and Amelia not suitable for each other?

Why didn't he like any of the people she cared about? "Beep-"

The telephone rang, and Patrick pressed the handsfree button. The caller asked, "Mr. Hopper, | forgot to ask

yesterday. How far do we need to push Dream before we stop?" Patrick lowered his head, his eyelashes leaving a

shadow over his skin. "Until they go out of business."

The caller drew in a breath and said worriedly, "But such a way of marketing might result in dissatisfaction from

other companies. Moreover, other drink companies sell their products at our stores, but the prices are slightly

lower than their costs. Overtime, I'm afraid that our partners will lose money."

Patrick said casually, "Isn't that easy to solve? We buy all the liquor they had at the price they offer and sell them

at a low price. This will just solve the problem of the shortage of stock we will be facing. Besides, if our partners

are dissatisfied, you pay the gap. Roxxon is not short of money."

The caller wanted to say something back, but Patrick hung up the phone directly.

As soon as the caller pulled down the phone, the colleagues next to him asked urgently, "How about it? What did

Mr. Hopper say?"

The caller explained Patrick's two decisions, and one of them exclaimed with shock. "Is he out of his mind?"

Someone speculated, "I heard that Mr. Hopper and Mr. Quartley's son had formed a grudge years ago. I'm afraid

that Mr. Hopper has been holding back his anger and waiting for the day to get back at him!"

Someone else said, "Doing business is like fighting a war. It's not that I'm not confident in our Mr. Hopper, it's just

that one would go downhill after reaching the top. I'm worried that Mr. Hopper is too young to fight against that

astute and well-calculated Ryan."

Downstairs at Roxxon Corporation.

Seeing Howard's elegant back, Amelia ran over with her hands rubbing. She breathed out a mouthful of cold air

and said, "Howard!"

Howard turned around, smiled at her, and pointed in a direction, indicating her to talk in the car.

Amelia nodded, got into the passenger's seat, and asked, bewildered, "Where is the driver who works for you?"

Howard's smile faded as he said, "Eve dismissed him."

"Why?"

"Because she was afraid that the driver would takeaway."

If that explanation was made in the past, Amelia would have regarded it as a joke. But now, she had a lot of

sympathy for Howard.

"But | have my own hands and feet. Without the driver, | can drive by myself." Howard said.

Amelia couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think you're very passive?"

Howard sighed. "I failed Eve first, and that couldn't be easily forgiven. | can't deal with this in a harsh way, or |

would be regarded as heartless."

"Why don't you break with Jocelyn? Otherwise, Eve won't let her go!"

"Eve is ruthless. If | stop staying with Jocelyn, | would not be helping her. If I'm with Jocelyn, Eve won't harm her

because she needs to takeinto consideration." Amelia thought for a while and felt that made sense.

"| asked you to cbecause | have something for you." Howard grabbed a black bag from the backseat of the

car and seriously handed it to Amelia.

Amelia squeezed the plastic bag. It was thin, and she didn't know what was in it.

Noting Amelia's childlike behavior, Howard said with a hint of affection in his eyes. "If you want to know, you can

open it now."

"Oh!" Amelia opened a slit on the bag and turned it upside down, leaving the documents inside to slide down to

her knees.

Amelia saw the word "will" as the document fell. Having taken a look at Howard's and her non the paper,

and then at the number of money written on it, she fell into a trance.

After a while, she asked Howard with her eyes widened, "What's this?"

Howard said frankly, "I've made this will with the help of my lawyer these two days."

Amelia was surprised by his words. "Howard, you are in good health. Isn't it too soon to make a will now?"

Howard smiled faintly. "No. We don't know what will happen all of a sudden. I'll be relieved after handing you

your share in advance." "But..." Looking at the one billion on it, Amelia said with disbelief, "That's to much."

Howard found it both annoying and funny. "Amelia, don't be silly. Is there anyone in the world who thinks that he

has too much money? What's more, | earned this through legal businesses. You can take it with a clear

conscience."

"That's not what | meant!" Amelia hurried to explain, "I'm not qualified to accept so much money."

Howard's mouth quirked up a fraction as he said deliberately, "Don't worry. | left Patrick the bigger share. What

your share is just a small sum of money. Just take it."

"One billion is a small sum of money? Does he think I'll buy it?" thought Amelia.

"Then, | will take good care of this one billion. Oh, by the way, can | invest sof it?" Amelia thought she could

make money from money and at least gain sprofits.

Howard broke into laughter. How could his daughter-in-law be so adorable? "Look at how it's written on the

contract."

Amelia carefully looked through every line of the contract. After seeing the words of "late

Howard Hopper", she was very embarrassed. "I'm sorry. | didn't mean to curse your early death!"

"It doesn't matter." Howard had long regarded Amelia as his family, so he certainly wouldn't care about the joke.

Seeing that Howard was not angry, Amelia sighed softly and asked, "Well, can | help you with anything?"

Howard pondered for a few seconds. "You've donea great favor by callingtoday. Don't interfere in the

matters anymore. | don't want to see you and Patrick arguing over this."

"I see..." What Howard said next was like a thunderclap, striking Amelia's ears and startling her. "Then I'll have to

leave with Jocelyn and her family."

Amelia cried out, "Are you serious?"

"Yes!" Howard did not seem to be joking.
