Chapter 485
Amelia, who had just walked out of the police station, heard a car horn blared beside her. She stopped and
looked over, only to find that it was a mighty-looking military Hummer.
The next second, a young face popped out of the vehicle window and asked her in a well-versed tone, "Miss
Amelia Ramsay?"
Amelia nodded.
"Oh, my nis Leo. Officer Hopper specifically toldto wait for you here."
Officer Hopper? Amelia pointed at herself and said, "Did Owen asked you to wait forhere? What for?"
Leo laughed and said, "Of course it's to send Miss Amelia home. Officer Hopper said that the city center is far
from the City West Police Station. He's afraid that it's not safe for you to go halone. Miss Amelia, please."
Amelia was touched by Owen's attentiveness. She turned to open the door of the Hummer and got in.
At the Land of Fragrance.
When Amelia returned home, a familiar bark boomed from the living room. Her face of flagging interest
brightened up all of a sudden. Following the sound of the bark, she then walked quickly inside...
She was met with a small bulldog wiggling around his owner, wagging his short tail. His overly intimate behavior
made the owner cried out in impatience, "What's the hurry? There'll be both bread and milk!" Looking at the
scene in front of her, Amelia did not know why, but she felt an urge to cry. She secretly cursed herself for being
so sentimental. She then called out in a clear voice, "Mr. Hopper, Rick, I'm back." "Woof! Woof! Woof!" Hearing
Amelia's voice, Rick did not even bother to eat. He twisted his body, shook his limbs, and speedily sprinted in her
direction.
Seeing that Rick's four limbs slipped on the ground because of its overexcited speed, Amelia rushed forward to
catch him. Looking at his spinning beady eyes, she said, "Welchome, Rick! | haven't seen you in two days.
Did you miss me?"
Rick's answered by sticking out his tongue to lick her face wet.
"Haha..." Seeing that he had recovered his spirit to its original state, Amelia felt happier than she could ever feel.
"You're back, Mrs. Hopper?" Patrick, who had filled a basin of milk for Rick, steadily greeted her.
Amelia held Rick's bottom and looked at Patrick. She replied, "Yes, thank you for asking Owen to the police
station in tto bailout."
After Patrick put the milk basin on the ground, he slapped his hands together and asked, "Did the police who
arrested you did anything to you?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmelia placed Rick in front of the milk basin and then said to Patrick, "Captain Walker just askedsome
questions. He didn't make things difficult."
Patrick felt relieved and said, "Leave the rest to my brother. With his ability, he can help the police capture the
real drug dealer."
Amelia admitted her own misfortune and said, "I thought it was already bad enough two years ago. | didn't
expect that unlucky things would happen toagain and again this year."
Patrick said coldly, "Why did you have to go to that kind of shady place where the crooks blended in with the
honest folks? You deserve it!"
Amelia muttered, "There are so many people in the world who go to nightclubs every day. So why was itthat
had to encounter such things? In the end, it's all because of my bad luck." Patrick raised his eyebrows. "Why did
you stare atwhen you said 'bad luck'? Do you think I'm the reason for your bad luck?"
Amelia felt wronged. "Besides me, you are the only one at home. If | don't look at you, who else can | look at?"
Patrick turned his face away, and his whole body gave out a feeling as if he did not feel good about that.
Amelia cautiously asked, "Mr. Hopper, are you mad at me?"
Patrick asked her back stiffly, "Why should | be mad at you?"
"You blme for insisting on going to the nightclub to find my friends, don't you?" Amelia said softly, "Well,
okay, | will frequent those places less often in the future. Are you satisfied now?"
Only then did Patrick turn his head to look at her again. His tone was unprecedentedly serious. "Remember, you
are a woman. In this society, women are always at a disadvantage when it comes to anything. You must learn to
protect yourself. | can't be by your side every time, do you understand?"
Amelia responded obediently, "I understand."
She really did understand. If it were not for the title 'second madam’ of the Hopper family, what happened today
would have ruined her future.
Considering that she had just returned from the
police station, Patrick said delicately, "You must be tired. Go upstairs and have a rest."
After Amelia returned to her bedroom, Patrick's phone that was on the tea table rang. He picked it up and found
that it was the secretary. He guessed that she was going to talk to him about the education developing in
Timothy Village.
He pressed the answer button and greeted gingerly, "Hello."
The secretary started and said, "Mr. Hopper, it's me. After the written tests and interviews over these few days,
the company has selected a total of twenty teachers. Among them, there is a woman with plentifu teaching
experience, who is also very patient with the children that were specially sent by the company. She also knows
how to deal with people and has a sense of propriety. | think we can appoint her as the leader of the teaching
team. What does Mr. Hopper think?"
Patrick conformed airily, "Well, since you seemed to value her as a talent, then go ahead."

The next day, early morning.
When Amelia got up and went downstairs, she found Patrick standing at the door and putting on his shoes. She
stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Hopper, where are you going?"
Upon hearing the voice, Patrick gave

Amelia took him seriously and said, "Then go and cback early."
"I know." He said and messed up her hair from behind her head. Before she could retaliate, he stepped out of the
door.
The dense Amelia gritted her teeth at Patrick's back and said, "You always bully me..."
Meeting at the place that Owen and he had agreed on, Patrick took the documents from Owen, leafed through
them page by page, and then cleared his throat. He cursed in a low, hoarse voice, "You d*mned thing!"
Owen seemed to have expected Patrick's reaction from early on. He crossed his arms and asked, "I've already
found him for you. How are you going to deal with him?"
Patrick held a few comic strips-like photos with two of his fingers and asked back Owen, "Owen, how did you
collect these photos?"
Owen looked up and saw the pictures between Patrick's fingers, clearly remembering the process in which
Amelia was framed by a man.
