Chapter 220
Amelia touched her face and thought to herself, if this cup hit her face, it would be disfiguring.
"Eve, what are you doing!" Howard''s already arguing with the visitor.
Amelia trailed off to Eve, who hadn''t dropped her hand, and said somewhat incredulously, "Eve?
You... you actually hit me with a ss?"
"Get out of my way!" Eve pushed Howard hard out of the way and drove a few steps towards
Amelia, pping her in the face!
"You b*tch I''m telling you, the scandalous things you and Shawn have done are known all over the
world!"
Eve''s eyes reddened and the p was given with such force that the right side of Amelia''s face
swelled up at once.
Howard, the clerks, and the nearby customers were all stunned by the scene, but fortunately, it was
working hours and few Roxxon employees had time for coffee, or else Amelia was about to face
another round of gossip.
Howard yanked Eve''s arm and yelled, "You''re crazy! Didn''t I tell you to stay home? What are you
doing here?"
Eve''s eyes were filled with madness, "Of course you don''t want me toe to Roxxon to fool
around, so you secretly asked this little goblin toe to this cafe, but who am I? I''m Patrick''s own
mother! I asked around at the department and they told me where the b*tch was, and if you ask me,
a dog would be more honest than this woman!"

"Eve, you need to talk with respect!" Amelia couldn''t contain her anger, she knew that Doris couldn''t
have deliberately betrayed her whereabouts, so she resented Eve''s words "a dog", Eve could insult
her, but not her family and friends!
Eve saw that Amelia now had the nerve to talk back to her and was furious with Howard who was in
front of her, "Let go! I need to..."
"You are going to hit me again, aren''t you?" Amelia put the catch on for Eve, her right side of her
face was now burning and hurting. With the p she''d gotten from Eve earlier at Land of Fragrance,
coincidentally she''d gotten ps both her left and right side of her face, what a bnce, she thought
sarcastically.
Eve sneered, "You deserve it!"
Amelia looked at her and argued reasonably, "The reason I didn''t dodge that p earlier was that I
knew your anger made you do it! But that doesn''t mean I''m wrong and will let you torment me.
Howard and I originally agreed to apologize to you when we get home tonight, but with the ss
you just threw plus that p, I think that''s enough to amend me to you, I won''t need to be
condemned by you anymore!"
Howard had Eve''s hands tied, stared at her, "If Amelia hadn''t been quick enough to duck, you would
have caused havoc! You go home and I''ll give you a satisfactory exnation."
Eve''s eyes were filled with hatred, she already hated the woman who stole her son and her
husband''s trust, how could she listen to Howard''s advice, "I''m not going back! I''ll ruin her face and
see how she still ruins our family!"
As Amelia covered the right side of her face and hung her head, not knowing what to do, a
reassuring figure appeared in the doorway...
Patrick, who had an appointment here to talk business with a client, got a serious look on his face
when he saw Amelia, Howard and Eve.
He turned sideways and exined something first to his secretary, who nodded and took out his cell
phone to make a call to temporarily alter the time of his conversation with the client.
Patrick then ordered the store''s waiters to ask the customers to leave and then told the owner to
close the store. The owner of the shop was a businessman who was dependent on Roxxon
Corporation, so he dared not disobey him and did everything he was told.
Only after those were done did hee towards them.
The four of them took their seats.
"Mom, Dad, why are you here? " Patrick ordered a pot of herbal tea and proceeded to pour a cup
each for his exasperated parents.
Amelia was pulled by Patrick to sit next to him, and for some reason, she felt safe whenever he was
around.
Eve looked askance at Amelia, that look filled with annoyance, "We''re here because of this b*tch
and that actor!"
Amelia defended herself softly and grievously, "What I did with Shawn is just a lie, if you don''t
believe me, you can ask Howard or Patrick! You do know that Patrick respects you and listens to
you the most, and he certainly wouldn''t lie to you!"
Thest words Amelia said seemed to satisfy Eve, and Eve raised her chin proudly, "Yes, my son
listens to me best!"
Patrickprehended her words, Amelia was quite smart enough to know to use him as an excuse
to please his mother, and he said smoothly, "Mom, you shouldn''t be misled by the reports, this is
indeed a misunderstanding, and I have made ns regarding this matter that will not tarnish The
Hopper Family''s reputation."
Eve was skeptical. "Really?"
Patrick softened at the right time, "How can I lie to you? Look, I''ll call the house driver toe to
pick you up now, you just stay home and wait for my good news."
Eve nodded, "Okay, for what you say, I won''t have to worry about that."
Seeing that Eve had been coaxed to stop being angry immediately by Patrick''s words, Amelia was
very impressed with him.
She stole a nce at Patrick, who was taking an elegant sip of his coffee, and his unassuming
manner was both charming and a little proud.
Outside the cafe, Mr. Hopper and Mrs. Hopper had just gotten into the car Patrick had sent, Eve
said, "I''ve given it careful thought. I''d rather have Patrick divorce her, after all she''s having an affair
with a male celebrity..."
Howard immediately interrupted her words, "No!"
"You!"
"I''m here to state one thing. Unless I die, Or else they can''t divorce!"
In the face of Howard''s resolute attitude, Eve was shocked. She shuddered and asked, "Why did
you say so?"
Howard told a secret he''s kept hidden for years: "Thirty years ago, when Roxxon was just handed
over to me, but it was in financial trouble because of mismanagement, do you know who lent a
helping hand?"
Eve rightfully said, "It was my family and your family who funded the assistance!"
"More than that." Howard said after a pause, "There''s The Ramsay Family. Amelia''s dad and I have
known each other since we were young and immediately allocated me arge sum of money as
soon as he heard this had happened to Roxxon, a debt of gratitude that I remembered untilter
when Roxxon got back on track and I paid him back the money I earned."
Eve said reluctantly, "You''ve already paid it back. Why keep remembering it!"
