Chapter 721

While lost in thought, the cigarette had burnt up to its end, scorching Patrick's middle finger... He snapped back from his reverie and crushed the cigarette butt at the ledge of the window.

Meanwhile, in another room, Amelia received a phone call.

She pressed the answer button and greeted, sounding as calm as possible, "Hello, Uncle Tucker. What can I do for you?"

Jonathan replied from the other side, "President Ramsay, I think I have to tell you about this..."

Jonathan briefly explained to Amelia that Patrick had dropped by his home and looked for him that evening.

Amelia's breath choked in her throat. "Why did he find you for?"

Jonathan said, "Mr. Hopper wanted to know the reason for President Ramsay's unusual behaviour today."

"Did you tell him?" Amelia scowled.

"Yes, I did," answered Jonathan frankly.

After a moment of bewilderment, Amelia put a hand to her forehead and cackled. She had already brought up the topic of divorce with Patrick, so what else was there that could not be discussed?

She regained her composure and said, "What's done is done. Anyway, he will hear about the rumor about him and that red high-heeled woman sooner or later."

"But President Ramsay, I didn't tell him the whole story. I didn't divulge anything about the company's secrets!" Jonathan guaranteed.

Amelia understood immediately. Did Jonathan mean he did not tell Patrick that she had gotten help from Kaiden?

"Uncle Tucker, you've handled this very well. If Patrick finds you again, you'll have to hold back as much as possible too."

"Yes, I know, President Ramsay."

After speaking on the phone for a while more, Amelia and Jonathan bid goodbye to each other, and the call ended.

As she lowered down her phone, a series of knocks on the door suddenly sounded from the door, following it was a bright voice of a woman, "Ms. Amelia, it's dinnertime!"
