Chapter 621

Amelia scoffed, "Yes, I admit that I don't have good manners, but that's better than a b*stard who tramples on other's belongings!"

Patrick looked straight into the pair of gorgeous but swollen eyes and said, further stirring the pot, "Your mouth is so filthy that I can only assume your father failed to teach you well when you were younger." Amelia's chest heaved violently. Finding it impossible to bear it any more, she raised her hand and slapped his face!

Anger drew out all her strength in that hard slap. Her repressed frustration, grievances, and pain in her heart spilled out at once. "Patrick, keep my father's name out of your dirty mouth! You don't deserve to talk about him!"

She did not expect his help, only hoping he would not add fuel to the fire. Since the beginning, how many unfavorable things had Patrick done to Apex Construction Corporation just to feed his obsession with possessiveness and to uphold his image as a husband?

She was doing fine before Patrick mentioned her father. But once he brought her father's name up, her heart ached. The two most important men in her life were either lying in the hospital bed or driving her up the wall. She was not a superhero. This was all too much to her!

In the dead silence, only the echo of Amelia's slap rang through the air.

Not only Huxton and Dr. Scarlett, but the men in black guarding around the house had also witnessed Patrick being humiliated.

What was more, this was not their first time seeing him embarrassing himself. To make matters worse, each time was progressively more serious than the last!

In the tense atmosphere, the men in black held their breaths and stared fixedly at Amelia. As long as Patrick gave a command, they would attack her immediately, no matter if she was Mr. Hopper's wife or not. "Madam! You..." Huxton wanted to praise Amelia for being so stupidly bold!

Patrick, who had just received a blow to his face, only raised his hand to rub his numb right cheek a while later. He peered at Amelia and said, "Is that all you've got? Were you trying to tickle me?"

Amelia blew on her slightly heated palm and replied, "If you find it not satisfying enough, I can let you feel it again."

To which Patrick replied wantonly, "Sure, why don't we move to the bed?"

"You!" The cold mask on Amelia's face instantly melted and was replaced by untamed fury.

"But before that, I advise you to have dinner and gain some strength back first."

With that, Patrick stepped away from his chair and walked past Amelia towards the bathroom with a plain look on his face.
