Chapter 381

Patrick was caught off guard by Amelia's accusation. Did he go too far?

She was already so defensive when he hadn't done any practical harm to her friend. If he did hurt Jessica and her family, was Amelia going to blame him for the rest of her life? Patrick's heart tightened.

One was Eve, and the other was Amelia. They should not have been comparable, but now he wavered!

The next second, the phone on the desk vibrated. Patrick let go of Amelia and put it through, "Mom?"

Eve burst into tears as soon as she heard Patrick's voice. "Patrick! Your father somehow found out our plan to act against Jocelyn and her family. He threatened me before he left that if we didn't change our mind, he'll leave with them to a place we would never know."

Patrick's fingers on his phone tensed up.

To avoid alerting them, Patrick started with Jocelyn's daughter. No matter how fast the news spread, Jocelyn should not have realized in the short time that it was him who was manipulating, not to mention that Howard could find out so quickly...

The only explanation was that Amelia had let the cat out of the bag on purpose!

Eve continued, "Patrick! Howard is the only one I love in my whole life. If he abandons me forthat home wrecker, I will die!"

If Howard was leaving for the sake of that woman, there was no way to hide the news. In that case, it would be a shame for both the Hopper family and the Watson family forever.

Eve started to suggest an extreme approach. "Patrick, how about this... We hire some hitmen to kidnap Jocelyn and kill her where no one is around? As long as she's gone, your father would have no one to go with him!"

Patrick frowned with annoyance and said, "Mom, we'll discuss this later. Don't take action on your own. If anything happens, Dad might run away in a fit of anger!"

After a short moment of surprise, Eve agreed with anxiety, "Well, I'll leave it to you. Do whatever you want to do. It's all up to you whether your dad will change his mind." Up to him?
