Chapter 767

Good heavens!

Amelia exclaimed shockingly, "How could this be possible?"

It was not the fact that Patrick had chased Huxton out which Amelia was referring to. Instead, she could not believe that Huxton who had always been obedient and loyal towards Patrick, had in fact spoken in contradict to Patrick's request.

Scarlett scratched her head and asked confusingly, "I'm too puzzled. That's why I had asked your whereabouts as soon as I saw you're back."

"Um... I went to somewhere." Amelia did not intend to elaborate in detail. After all, Scarlett might not understand it.

Scarlett was not a fool. Seeing that apparently it was not convenient for Amelia to tell her, she smiled without demanding for an answer.

"What happened next?" Amelia continued to ask.

Scarlett then said, "After Mr. Patrick made Huxton standing outside of the house, he didn't come out from his room at all. Since you weren't home yet, I didn't prepare for dinner. Even if I did, I don't think Mr. Patrick will want to have his dinner..."

There was no doubt that Amelia knew very well what was going on. The reason Scarlett had not prepared dinner was that she was holding grudge against Patrick for punishing her man. Seeing Amelia smiling, Scarlett felt as if she could read her mind.

She bit her lower lip and finally said, "Um... What I want to say is that, can you please go and ask Mr. Patrick to come down for dinner? And also convince him into forgiving Huxton. After all, it's not easy for Huxton to be the middle person between the two of you..."

Hearing what she said, Amelia promised confidently, "Dr. Scarlett, I'll take responsibility of it. Don't worry, I won't let Huxton take the blame for me!"

Moreover, she felt obliged to repay Huxton for his kindness after he had covered for her!

"I'm sure you'll handle it." Having Amelia's reassurance, Scarlett finally smiled in relief.

Amelia had been observing Scarlett's reaction all this while. Squinting her eyes, she could not help asking, "Anyway, now that I know Huxton was standing outside because he was being punished. Then why would you be there too?"

Scarlett's face turned red as she stammered, "Me?
