Chapter 350


    Maryanne frowned in pain. After ring at Milton, she waved at Sierra and said, "Aunty, that''s fine.


    I''ll just go home and eat."


    "Maryanne, you think my cooking is bad, don''t you?" she asked, sounding a little hurt.


    Maryanne was used to being arrogant, but Sierra was a very gentle woman. Even if she had a bad


    temper, she didn''t want to upset her, "Aunty, that''s not what I meant."


    "Then stay here," Sierra said, her eyes glinting with anticipation as she stared at her.


    It was hard to refuse her kindness, so Maryanne could only ignore Milton''s increasingly displeased


    gaze and replied, "Alright."


    Sierra smiled, "That''s great, you guys go to the living room and hang out first. I''ll head to the kitchen


    to prepare dinner. It won''t be long until it''s done."


    During the dinner, it seemed that Sierra mentioned inadvertently, "Milton, Maryanne, do you intend


    to get engaged?"


    "Pfft..." Maryanne couldn''t hold back any longer as the mashed potato spurted out of her mouth.


    She lowered her head in shame and thought that something so unrefined would really happen to


    her!


    Milton calmly wiped the mashed potato with a napkin and threw it into the trash can. Then he said to


    Sierra with a poker face, "Mom, you scared


    Maryanne."


    Sierra put down her fork and knife and turned to look at Maryanne. "Sorry, please don''t mind."


    "Ahem... it''s okay..." Maryanne stared at Milton''s hand on the table and couldn''t help but feel better


    about him when she thought that it was the same hand that had helped her wipe off the mashed


    potato without minding the dirt.


    After the meal, Milton couldn''t wait to say to Sierra, "Mom, I''ll take Maryanne home."


    Then, he turned to look at Maryanne and said, "Let''s _ _ H go.


    Maryanne, who had been secretly watching him, clenched the ss of water in her hand somewhat


    sheepishly after meeting his cold stare, "Okay..."


    Sierra said enthusiastically to them at the door, "Well, you guys take care on the road, and


    Maryannee over more often if you want."


    "Okay." Maryanne nodded her head in a hurry and followed Milton to the parking lot.


    Maryanne gasped as she chased Milton: "I thought you said you were a gentleman, couldn''t you


    have waited a little longer for me..."


    At that, Milton stopped abruptly and Maryanne ran straight into his back. Maryanne rubbed her nose


    that hurt from the impact and hammered his back depressed, "Big bad! If you were going to stop,


    couldn''t you have told me first?"


    "Maryanne." Milton turned around with a serious look. "We''re just in a fake rtionship, but not yet


    in a fake marriage."


    Maryanne was stunned and said in annoyance, "Of course I know. There''s no need for you to


    remind me. I''m popr among men, you don''t have to worry that I''ll turn out to fall in love with you!"

    Maryanne was so disgusted with him, but the expression on Milton''s handsome face didn''t change:


    "That''s good."


    The next day, at Roxxon Corporation.


    After Amelia got off work, she was about to leave thepany when she suddenly received a


    phone call that surprised her. "Miss Amelia Ramsay, are you free now?"


    For a moment, Amelia couldn''t recognize who it was. "Excuse me, who is this, please?"


    The person on the other side of the phoneughed and said, "You are really forgetful. I just met you


    at the gate of the police station yesterday. You pretend that you don''t know me now."


    Amelia gasped. "Are you... Tommy?"


    "Bingo!" Tommy did not change his smile. "Miss Amelia Ramsay, I think... it''s time to solve the


    problem between us in the ''Niteral Dynasty'' that day."


    Amelia calmly said, "I''vepletely forgotten about What happened in ''Niteral Dynasty''. Tommy, it''s


    been so long ago and nothing bad has happened."


    Tommy insisted, "I think it''s better for you toe out once."


    Amelia had no mood to answer him. "What if I say no?"


    Tommy clearly said, "I heard that your father''s health is not very good recently, Apex Construction


    Corporation''s business has also be less prosperous, now need to rely on your future brother-


    inw to develop that tourist area project to restore business, if that tourist area suddenly by the


    government intervention, dyedpletion or simply can not bepleted, Apex Construction


    Corporation''s The previous investment will be wasted."


    Upon hearing his words, Amelia was very shocked, "How... how do you know all this?"


    Tommy answered, "That''s why I go to the police station yesterday."


    It suddenly dawned on Amelia that Tommy had made a special trip to the police station to


    investigate her.


    This made her very angry. "You think you can do whatever you want?"


    Tommy smiled slightly and said, "Don''t doubt it. Although I''m only a secretary, I can talk to the head


    of the Department of Public Security."


    Amelia asked through gritted teeth, "What do you want?"


    Tommy said straightforwardly, "Come to The Oriental Cafe. I''ll see you before 7 o''clock, and you


    better not bete 1"


    Then Tommy hung up the call, leaving no room for discussion.


    Amelia quickly turned and took the elevator to the president''s office, wanting to discuss with Patrick.


    As soon as she appeared in front of the office, Miss secretary opened the door and saw Amelia


    coming, so she let her in.


    Amelia licked her lips and was about to call Patrick''s name. However, Patrick, who had his back to


    her, took out a phone from his pocket and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to answer the


    phone.


    He gently read out the name "Cynthia" and said, "How are you? It''s my fault. I''ve been busy


    recently, so I don''t have time to see you... What did you say? You want to have a party before going


    abroad? Yes, I''ll go there... Amelia? She''s just a trivial person, so you don''t have to invite her..."


    A trivial person...


    Amelia felt heartbroken after hearing what Patrick said, and there was no need for her to listen to


    the conversation that followed. Her body trembled as she held on to the wall and left as silently as


    she hade.


    After the call, Patrick pinched his eyebrows. In order to prevent Amelia and Cynthia from quarreling


    again, he had to say this, although these words were a bit against his heart, at least this would not


    make Cynthia feel bad after being rejected.


    In The Oriental Cafe.


    Before Amelia went to the cafe, she used eye drops to soothe her eyes. She couldn''t meet Tommy


    with this crying look, or he would think she was easy to bully!


    When they met, Tommy behaved courteously, not at all aggressive like when they chatted on the


    phone. However, Amelia was not reassured but uneasy, since this man was very hypocritical.


    Tommye invited her to the cafe and would probably y dirty tricks, and if Daniel''s project fell


    through, Apex Construction Corporation would be in ruins.


    Tommy handed over the menu and asked, "What would you like to drink?"


    Amelia didn''t look at it and said, "I want a cup of espresso."
