Chapter 778

However, except for Eve, the rest of them watched the event unfurled like a show. It seemed that Amelia was more lovable and righteous than they had imagined! Seeing that Patrick was glaring at her so fiercely like lasers boring into her eyes, Amelia was seconds away from failing to withstand the intensity.

After a short moment of hesitation, Howard then smiled, and the irascible fury he felt just moments ago vanished!

He had always assumed that Amelia could not handle Patrick, and that was the reason why the scandal of Patrick's affair with another woman would fall upon her.

However, when he watched Amelia slapped Patrick in public and that the bully Patrick surprisingly did not retaliate, not even daring to spit a few harsh words at her, it was obvious that what Nora said had some truth in them. Amelia was indeed skilled at controlling her husband!

So why was he worrying?

On the other hand, Amelia turned her gaze away from staring at Patrick, faced back to the faintly

smiling Howard and said, "Dad, I'm sorry!"

Howard was taken by surprise. But before he could say anything, Patrick's sombre voice sounded from the sofa, "Amelia, I don't need you to apologize for me!"

Amelia then turned to him, and her eyes were full of disdain when she said, "You've mistaken. I didn't apologize on your behalf. I did it for myself!"

If she were harsher to herself, the baby in her womb, and Apex Construction Corporation, she would definitely spill everything about Sissi's return to Northville and Patrick's entanglement with her! But, at the end of the day, she...still could not do it!

Amelia clenched her fists by her side and felt guilty for letting down Howard's trust in her again and again. Howard was a father figure to her, but she had no choice but to disappoint him this time. However, because of Amelia's strike, Howard ceased wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.

Because according to Howard's logic, if Amelia could handle Patrick, then she for sure could deal with those superficial women!
