Chapter 68


    Amelia''s joke was treated seriously by her mother-inw, who mmed the bowl and shouted at


    her, "How dare you!"


    This anger made everyone in the table stunned. Amelia looked at her mother- in-w and asked,


    "Mom, who are you ming?"


    "You!" Eve had been unhappy with her for a long time. This time, she simply med her, "Patrick


    just asked you to help him with a crab, but you refused. Then what else can he expect from you?


    Will you cook for him at home?"


    Amelia had no idea how her mother-inw drew this conclusion and said, "Mom, first of all, Patrick


    is an adult. Secondly, his limbs are in good condition. So I think that not only women should be able


    to cook and clean up the house, but also men. We''re living in the 21 st century, where women are


    equal to men. It''s better to buy a multi-functional rice cooker than to marry a cook. Am I right,


    Mom?"


    "I agree!" Florence admired her second sister-inw so much. On one hand, she thought that


    women had the ability to do what men were able to do with the same quality. On the other hand, no


    one else in the Family of Hopper dared to offend Eve like this, but Amelia was so reasonable that


    everyone was convinced.


    Florence''s statement annoyed Eve more.


    Florence immediately gave in and said, "Heh heh heh


    heh, you can continue..."


    Eve thought Amelia''s personality was totally out of control and she must be taught a lesson, so she


    said, "Patrick is always busy at work, then how can he cook at home like a housewife? As his wife,


    you should think about how to ease his burden."


    Amelia kept silent as Patrick was really busy at work.


    Eve continued, "You can''t make a lot of money no matter how hard you work at Roxxon. You''d


    better resign and be a housewife, taking after Patrick. If you need money, just ask Patrick. He


    can afford it."


    Amelia had nothing to say.


    Her mother-inw wanted her to take care of her son like a nanny, and she was so arrogant, just


    like she sponsored by The Hopper Family in charity.


    Hearing this, Howard requested, "Shut up! Amelia is our daughter-inw, not a nanny!"


    "Thank you, dad!" Upon her father-inw''s defense, Amelia felt warm- hearted. As encouraged, she


    turned to her mother-inw and said, "I think, as a woman, except marriage, I should put my dream


    into reality. Not every marriage is unbreakable and indestructible and the only thing that won''t betray


    me is my career. As long as I make an effort, my career will bring me returns. Therefore, I have to


    keep myself strong and will never resign."


    Eve''s eyes burned with anger, shouted, "You mean my son is unreliable?!"


    Amelia was speechless as her mother- in-w obviously misunderstood. It seemed it was


    meaningless to stay here anymore.


    "Everyone, thank you for your hospitality tonight. I gotta go now." Then she left the table without any


    reluctance.


    Seeing the daughter-inw was so disobedient, Eve was so angry that her lungs were about to


    explode. She shouted at Amelia''s back, "Let her go! Anyone on the street is better bred than her!"


    After Patrick finished his meal, he put down the cloth and was about to leave the table.


    Seeing this, Eve became anxious, required, "Patrick, stay here tonight. Keep away from her!"


    Patrick said slowly, "No. It''s a long way from here to home, so I have to take good care of her."


    Eve took a deep breath and asked with her chest heaved violently, "Is she more important than me


    in your heart?"


    It was a question that can''t be properly answered.


    "..." Patrick didn''t know what to say.


    Howard rubbed his eyebrows and advised his wife, "Don''t make a fool of yourself like a child."


    While Howard was persuading Eve not to me Amelia, Patrick ran out to catch up with Amelia.


    At the back, he faintly heard Eve shouting, "I''m not happy with this daughter-inw!"


    Shaking her head, Florence secretly thought that it was really difficult to deal with a woman who


    was going through menopause, so she secretly put down her chopsticks and sneaked into her


    room.


    Then she turned on theputer to search "The clinics dealing with men infertility".


    When the pages were opened, she began to fill in the information requested by all the hospitals.


    The light of the screen shone on her face, making the smile on her face quirky.

    In the courtyard of The Hopper Family, Amelia breathed in the cool air and felt herself calming


    down.


    She shouldn''t have been so impulsive just now. After all, she should have respected her elder.


    Just as she regretted, the horn was heard behind her. Within a blink of the eye, Patrick''s


    Lamborghini had already slipped in front of her.


    "Get in." Patrick ordered.


    Amelia stood still and asked unexpectedly, "Why did youe out?"


    Patrick smiled and said, "I''m here to pick Mrs. Hopper home."


    Amelia was even more confused and asked, "Does your mother agree?"


    Patrick shrugged and said, "I''m an adult and I know whom I should care. Unless she breaks my leg,


    I insist on what I think is right."


    Amelia got in the car and said, "Don''t describe yourself as a fearless hero. When your mother


    scolded me, you didn''t even dare to say anything."


    Patrick said, "Don''t me her. She had a hard life before."


    Amelia looked at him and said, "Tell me?"


    Perhaps after figuring out Eve''s temperament, they would not be in such dispute.


    "When Owen was a child, he lived a suffering life with my grandfather. When he grew up, he


    became a special policeman. He went through the missions risking his life. Every time he was


    injured, my mother cried and took care of him. In her heart, we are everything to her, and I..."


    His voice became lower. He didn''t want to say much because it involved his rtionship with Sissi.


    On their way home, Amelia received a phone call from Alice, who was sobbing, "Amelia! Your father


    had a heart attack and is going through an operation in the hospital. Can youe over right


    away..."


    Amelia, who was careless, immediately changed her tone, "Which hospital?"


    In the emergency center.


    When Amelia and Patrick arrived, George was still in the operation. With thefort of Daniel''s soft


    voice, Alice wiped her tears.


    Seeing Amelia was worried, Brittany said in a strange tone, "Wow, you are finally here. I thought


    you had forgotten who your dad is."


    Amelia said disdainfully to Brittany who was standing in front of her, "Stat away!"


    Her eyes were as sharp as knives. Brittany was so scared that she really took a step back.

    Pushing her half-sister away, Amelia walked straight towards Alice and asked, "My dad hasn''t had a


    heart attack for more than ten years. Did anyone annoy


    him?"


    Saying this, Amelia nced at Brittany and Daniel.


    Alice said with tears in her eyes, "He drank some alcohol beforeing back."


    Amelia said angrily, "You know his health condition. He can''t smoke nor drink. How did you take


    care of him?"


    There was a sh of thought in Patrick''s eyes. He didn''t know about The Ramsay Family very well


    and he had never seen Amelia so hoarse and exhausted like this. Her hatred for Alice was about to


    burst.
