Chapter 618


    "Fine! I can give it back to you, but only if you can catch it!" As soon as he finished, Patrick flung her


    phone towards the wall!


    This was the second time he had thrown her phone, and it was both because of the same person!


    Crash!


    The phone shattered into pieces after the violent collision right in front of Amelia.


    At the sight of this, Amelia''s pupils trembled, and tears streamed down her cheeks.


    After a pause, she looked up at Patrick with tear-filled eyes. She asked, hurt, "Do you know what


    you just threw away?"


    Patrick felt suffocated looking into her teary eyes. He forced himself to ignore the blockage rising in


    his chest and spat cruelly, "Yes, I just threw your hope away."


    Ha...


    Her hope?


    He was wrong. What he threw was something even more priceless than hope. It was her love!


    The only couple phone left between them was


    utterly destroyed.


    "Patrick, listen carefully!" Her voice broke under the overwhelming anger and sorrow. "I will never


    beg you for help even if it means I have to watch Apex Construction Corporation goes bankrupt in


    my own hands!"


    In the next second, Patrick picked her up and threw her onto the enormous bed behind them


    without saying another word. He pressed down onto her under his strong body and wed her


    clothes off with his bloodshot eyes.


    "Patrick, you brute!" Amelia cursed.


    Amelia''s protest only caused the already delirious man to handle her even harsher. While ripping off


    her coat, finger marks streaked her delicate skin as a result of his strength!


    "Stop! I don''t want you anymore! Did you hear me?"


    Amelia cried out into the air.


    Her hands shoved hard against Patrick''s firm chest, but she could not move the distraught man at


    all. In the end, she could only let him humiliate her and do whatever he wanted to her.


    Afterward...


    Patrick did not fall asleep holding Amelia in his arms as he usually did.


    Instead, he got out of bed and changed into his clothes methodically.


    After that, he swept his gaze across the face covered with tear stains on the bed and said coldly, "I


    thought you had something to prove to me, but still bent over at the touch from a man, didn''t you?"


    There was no response, as he expected. Patrick did not seem to care and turned around to leave


    with an air of cold condescension.


    Just then, Amelia''s sweet and gentle voice drifted into the air. "Do you have to drive me to the brink


    of death?"


    Patrick only sneered. "Make it clear, you''re the one who rejected my offer first."


    He hated to feel sad, so... anybody who made him feel that way, he had to make them pay!


    A sh of pain crossed Amelia''s hollow eyes. She had to endure whatever Patrick did to her, and


    there was never any other way!


    Patrick looked away and warned her, "And also, don''t talk about death. If you dare to make a joke


    out of your own life again, I''ll hurt everyone you''re close to!"


    The door opened and was mmed shut.


    Patrick descended the stairs and scanned his surrounding with alert.


    At the sight of this, Huxton asked, "Sir, what are you looking for?"


    Patrick answered in a deep voice, "Where''s Dr. Scarlett?"


    "She hasn''t been here for thest two days," responded Huxton.


    Patrick was displeased. "Didn''t I tell her toe by every day to take care of Amelia''s health?"


    Huxton had no reply to that.


    "Did somethinge up for her? Or did Amelia ask her to note?" If it was thetter, Amelia


    was doomed!


    Huxton''s eyes glinted in the light. "Dr. Scarlett has something to attend to and had asked for a


    leave."


    Patrick demanded with arrogance, "No matter what she''s doing, call her over right now!"


    "Yes, sir!" replied Huxton. He was about to step aside to contact her when Patrick added


    impatiently, "Just call her right here!"


    "Yes, sir." Huxton''s response was weaker this time.


    Patrick no longer trusted him as he used to. Not only did Huxton feel wistful, but he also felt


    ashamed.


    Because he had lied to his master for Amelia''s sake once again!


    Huxton sighed in his heart. Hethen picked up his phone and called the woman who he had never


    contacted.


    Beep, beep, beep...


    "You brute! What are you calling me for?"


    Huxton remained calm at her rude rebuke and said, "Mr. Hopper wants you toe back at once,


    no matter where you are now. Madam needs you!"


    Without waiting for her reply, Huxton cut off the call.


    Noticing Patrick''s unfathomable gaze, Huxton secretly broke out into a cold sweat and said, "Sir,


    I''ve already passed on your message to her."


    Patrick hummed as an answer and asked all of a sudden, "What did she call you on the phone just


    now?"


    Huxton froze.


    "Brute?" Patrick raised his eyebrow slightly.


    "Sir, I..." Huxton opened his mouth and wanted to exin, but he did not know where to start.


    Seeing that he was in a state of misery, Patrick could not help sympathize with him as he had been


    cursed the same thing by Amelia just a few moments ago.


    In the end, Patrick and Huxton both sighed in their hearts, "s, women..."


    The night was calm and cool.


    Dr. Scarlett arrived and was met with Huxton frantically blinking and winking at her from behind


    Patrick''s back as if trying to send her some kind of signal.


    Unfortunately, the signal did not go through. She could not understand what he was meaning to say


    at all.


    "Dr. Scarlett."


    Patrick, who was on the sofa, put down the magazine in his hand and greeted her.


    For she had not seen him for so many days, Dr. Scarlett asked with an unustomed smile, "Mr.


    Patrick, you''re back?"


    Patrick narrowed his eyes at her and said, "Yea, if I don''t, I won''t know that you''ve taken a break on


    your own without my permission."


    Dr. Scarlett''s heart skidded a beat. Amelia was the one who asked her not toe recently, so how


    come he was using her of giving herself a holiday?


    Wasn''t he falsely alleging her?


    Just as she was about to exin herself, Huxton stepped in and interjected "Mr. Hopper, Dr. Scarlett


    couldn''te because something happened at home. Since she has been doing her best to nurse


    Mrs. Hopper, please forgive her this time."


    Pausing for a moment, Huxton gave the bewildered Dr. Scarlett a glower and snapped, "Apologize


    to Mr.


    Hopper now!"


    Dr. Scarlett was petrified by his behavior and apologized to Patrick several times when she returned


    from her shock.


    Huxton then said to Patrick, "Sir, I''ll bring her downstairs andy down the rules for her."

    Patrick looked at him with a faint smile on his face. "Alright then, go ahead."


    He did notice what they were doing behind his back!


    Huxton confronted Dr. Scarlett in a few steps and intimidated her on purpose, "Follow me if you


    don''t wish to die."


    Dr. Scarlett pursed her lips into a thin line, suppressing her anger in silence and walked behind him.


    After the two of them left, Patrick could not control himself and nced in the direction of the


    secondary bedroom.


    In his fit of rage, he had forced Amelia into a hug. And when he heard her weak sobs and helpless


    criesing from underneath his body, only infinite joy and satisfaction shot through his body!


    However, when watching her as she cowered on the bed with bruises all over her body, his heart


    softened once again.
