Chapter 696
At the end of his words, his long fingers slowly covered his chest and he looked at how Amelia''s
expression change with satisfaction.
ncing at her stunned expression, Patrick smiled and said, "What''s wrong? You don''t dare to
comin anymore in front of me?"
Due to the excessive shock, Amelia''s mind was caught in a daze.
"Knowing that you can''t y golf at all but I still brought you along with my friends just to embarrass
you. Hey, if I didn''t hear it personally, I really didn''t know that I had such evil thoughts."
Hearing Patrick''s words, Amelia''s face turned bloodless and she said, "Huxton! What a snitch!"
Patrick crossed his arms around his chest. "Don''t be in a hurry to me him. If you didn''t want
others to know, then don''t do it in the first ce. On one hand, you are carrying apany that has
been deteriorating and on the other hand, you are the wife of a husband who doesn''t care about
you at all?"
Hearing that the lines Patrick was saying were almost the same as what she said to Ryker in the
morning, Amelia broke out in a cold sweat.
Why would Huxton report everything in such detail?
Yes! She did set Huxton up, but she did this to help him and Scarlett!
And that was what he did to repay her? He was basically ''murdering'' her!
Seeing that Amelia could not utter a word for a long time, Patrick''s eyes darkened and he asked
coldly, "So do you have nothing to say?"
Hearing this, Amelia stepped forward hurriedly and exined anxiously, "No! As a matter of fact, I
do have something to say! I... I have nothing to do with Ryker!"
Patrick gave her a sidelong nce and a faint smile on his face. "You have nothing to do with him
yet you held his hand and told him that you needed warmth from him?"
Amelia suddenly ran out of words.
Patrick continued on pressuring her. "You called him Ryker, didn''t you? Why did you address him
with his full name in front of me? Are you sure you aren''t feeling guilty?"
Amelia felt lightheaded. "You misunderstood me. Ryker works for Kaleb! He is an enemy that I''m
eager to eradicate! How can I be intimate with him?"
Patrick curled his lips and said, "Oh? Then I''d like to hear the story of President Ramsay''s
behaviours.
What kind of tricks are you ying?"
Amelia saw that he seemed to remain his cool so she said in a rush, "Let me remind you of a movie.
With your IQ, you would understand my intention after listening to the story!"
Patrick narrowed his eyes and lifted his chin. "Go ahead."
Amelia then said, "The Movie is Badger Game."
As soon as Amelia''s voice fell, she heard Patrick''s contemtive question, "So you are setting up a
honey-trap with your beauty?"
Amelia snapped her fingers loudly. "Smart!"
Patrick looked up and down at Amelia''s appearance and figure. He asked puzzledly, "So, you are...
a beauty?"
"Well, you can put it like that," Amelia said with a profound and inscrutable expression.
Patrick raised his eyebrows and asked, "And you sure that your beauty can be sessfully trap
others?"
Amelia emphasized, "It''s just a metaphor!"
Patrick replied, "So easy, huh? And whatever easy consider cheap too, I guess."
Amelia was stunned for two seconds, then she reacted and said, "Hey! I get it. I''m a human being,
not a thing. How can it be personification?"
Wait! How could she say that she was not a thing like she was nothing?
Amelia corrected loudly, "Wait, I''m not cheap! I''m expensive!"
Right after she spurt out her words, she immediately realized Patrick was fooling her! She was not
even something that could tag with price!
After seeing the mockery in Patrick''s eyes, Amelia said angrily, "Are you trying to make a fool of
me?"
"Idiot!" Patrick grabbed Amelia''s arm and pulled her to him. He said seriously, "I haven''t settled my
scores with you yet. Are you going to vent your anger on me first?"
Amelia backed up immediately. She said in a low voice, "I didn''t know that... Huxton will tell you this.
If
I had known this earlier, I wouldn''t have said that..."
Patrick red at her coldly and said, "Even if you didn''t say it you''ve already sprouted such an idea.
The only difference lies in whether you can hide it from me or not."
Amelia said seriously, "But I really want to use this method to see if I can get a hold on Ryker!"
Patrick asked, "After getting a hold of him, what''s next?"
Amelia said, "Kaleb is a man who thinks a lot. If he hears that I''m close with Ryker in the office, I
believe that Kaleb would wrong a thousand-person instead of believing in one that he can''t trust."
Patrick asked, "Are you trying to kick Ryker out of thepany through Kaleb''s help?"
Amelia nodded. "Yes, instead of keeping a spy by my side, it''s better to kick him out from the game.
Of course, these are just my assumptions, the details are yet to be confirmed by how it''s
manipted."
Patrick''s breath became heavy and his dissatisfaction was beyond words. "Manipte? Isn''t holding
the other party''s hand and say something like ''it''s good to have you'' more than enough. How far are
you nning to take it to?"
Amelia bit her lip and said pitifully, "s! Didn''t you just expose my secret? I''ll just have to look for
another way to do it."
From her subtext, it seemed that she was ming him for meddling with her business.
Patrick tightened his grip on his arms. She was just a weak woman. No matter how well she
nned it, there would be times where things would not go ording to the n.
After the anger, there was a lot more worries.
Patrick was worried that Amelia would risk herself and gain nothing atst.
He raised his eyes and saw that Amelia was looking at him nervously. As soon as she met his eyes,
she immediately felt guilty and did not know where to hide. Patrick found it funny although he was
angry, yet he could not show his feelings at the moment.
He cleared his throat and tried his best to be strict. "Amelia, since you''re trying to eradicate your
enemies, I won''t pursue this matter any further. But next time if you do this again, I won''t spare you!"
Patrick''s imposing manner was still as overwhelming as before. Amelia could only nod and agreed,
"Well, since now you know...that I''m acting, are you still angry with me?"
Patrick said gruffly, "Of course I''m angry!"
Amelia hesitated. "Then..."

Patrick narrowed his eyes. "In front of outsiders, you made me sound like a j*rk. Would you feel any
better if you were in my ce?"
Amelia ruefully said in a low voice, "I just want the scene to be as realistic as possible."
Patrick replied with a dragged "Hmm?" and Amelia kept quiet in an instance.
Taking a deep look at her, Patrick said, "I''ll keep this in mind. You''ll have to pay me back in the
future."
"Why do I have to pay you?" Amelia asked subconsciously.
Patrick said naturally, "Because you ruined my reputation."
What a petty man. She had already said that it was just a show!
Patrick then said, "Okay, you may leave now. I still have work to do."
