Chapter 769

After the trip from Timothy Village, Amelia had since treated Huxton as a friend. And sometimes, she even forgot that he also was Patrick's subordinate... Listening to Patrick's analysis, Amelia could not help asking herself if she was really in the wrong.

Was she overstepping by disregarding Patrick's intention and the orders he gave to Huxton, even though she had done so with goodwill?

"Wait a minute. That's not right!" thought Amelia.

She was the reason why Huxton was punished, so it was only reasonable for her to ask for his punishment to be lifted!

Instead, if she did not do or say anything, it would truly then be against common sense!

"Mr. Hopper, though what you said makes sense, but Huxton only got punished because of me. Secondly, I still stand my ground that I don't think he'll betray you, so..."

Under his cold gaze, Amelia's voice faltered with each word she said.

She eventually realized that this was not the time to argue with Patrick because sometimes, there was no room to negotiate with this man. He wanted to punish Huxton, but she wanted to protect him. It was a contradiction itself, so it was hard forthem to see eye to eye.

That was why she had no choice but to say, "Huxton knows he's wrong."

Patrick then asked sharply, "If he knew it, why didn't he find me earlier and admit his wrongdoing?"

Amelia added casually, "He has already prepared a spread full of a feast downstairs, waiting to apologize to you!"

Patrick glanced at her with ridicule, for he did not think Huxton would come up with such a weak way of apologizing.

If Huxton was sincere about it, he would have kneeled on the ground and let Patrick beat him to his heart's content for his mistake!

Turning his gaze away, Patrick uttered indifferently, "I don't accept his apology."
