Chapter 908


    Apart from that, Howard was polite yet distant when facing Sissi.


    Even though Patrick had made up his mind over her back then, Howard had never shown much


    concern for her.


    For this reason, Sissi had always thought that this was how Howard always behaved. Even Patrick


    had said so.


    Sissi realized that it was not because of Howard''s indifference, but because Howard made nothing


    of Sissi.


    And the apple of Howard''s eye has appeared! This woman was like someone who was about to


    watch aedian. She was sitting elegantly in the audience''s seats, waiting for her clumsy


    performance to start.


    At this time, Patrick looked at her and said, "Sissi, let''s have a seat."


    "Okay," Sissi answered in a low voice, as if she was lost in thought.


    After they sat down, Howard looked at Sissi and asked, "Ms. Sissi Roberts, where did we stop just


    now?"


    Patrick and Amelia looked at her at the same time, waiting for the inception of the topic.


    Sissi pursed her lips and answered timidly, "Uncle Howard just asked me... whether my return to


    Northville was deliberately nned?"


    Hearing that, the canthus of Howard''s eye twitched. He was so angry!


    He had clearly asked her what her purpose was foring back to Northville. Why did this woman


    say it like they were conspiracies?


    Was she not deliberately provoking Patrick?


    Just as expected, Patrick said coldly, "Dad, what you''ve said is ridiculous. Sissi was born in


    Northville. Hering back to her nativend was called returning home."


    Howard looked at his son and said aggressively, "I''m asking Ms. Sissi. Why are you interjecting in


    such a hurry? It''s not the time for you to talk yet!"


    Patrick''s eyes turned frigid.


    With the first point of contact between the father and son of The Hopper Family, the smoldering


    coals were about to start burning.


    If Sissi was the catalyst, then Amelia was the inhibitor.


    She reminded gently, "Dad, Patrick, Ms. Sissi hasn''t said anything yet. Don''t quarrel amongst


    yourself."

    With one sentence, she brought the origin of the contradiction back to Sissi.


    Sissi lowered her eyelids slightly to hide her hatred.


    Before that, she wanted to stir up conflict between the father and son, so that she could extricate


    herself from the mess. However, the situation returned to its original state just because of Amelia''s


    word!


    Howard coughed lightly and said, "Amelia''s right."


    He pointed at the stack of documents and photos he had brought over on the coffee table. "Ms.


    Sissi, ording to my investigation, you’ve returned to Northville for over a month and during this


    period of time, you''ve received a house that Patrick bought for you. He provided you a high-paying


    job too. There were even records of two of you appearing in the public several times. I couldn''t help


    but suspect that you''re here because of Patrick. What do you think of that, Ms. Sissi?"


    Sissi''s face changed slightly. She did not expect Howard to have made such careful investigation,


    which made her nce at


    Patrick subconsciously and tried to ask for his help.


    However, Amelia reached out and pped Patrick''s thigh.


    Patrick looked at her out of reflex and just missed the distress in Sissi''s eyes.


    "Why did you hit me?" Patrick asked, puzzled by Amelia''s sudden p.


    Amelia said in an irresponsible tone, "Oh, I just saw a mosquito on yourp. I couldn''t hold it back,


    so I stretched out my hand and killed it. It may hurt a little. I hope you don''t mind."


    Patrick did not believe it and asked, "Where is the mosquito?"


    Amelia spread out her hand and her palm had no trace of mosquitoes'' blood.


    Under Patrick''s ''as I expected'' gaze, Amelia sighed and said, "It seems that it flew too fast. I didn''t


    have a chance to hit it."


    Patrick was amused at the same time being irritated. "I''ll get back to youter!"


    After that, he put his mind back to Sissi.


    Sissi, who had failed to send her signal for help, felt both sad and angry at this time!


    How could Patrick flirt with Amelia, especially when she was in such a cmity?


    Was he here to help her, or to irritate her?


    Noticing Sissi looking resentfully at Patrick, Amelia rolled her eyes astutely and said maliciously,


    "Ms. Sissi, my father is asking you a question. Have you not heard it clearly, or have you not


    thought it through? Or... do you not want to answer him at all?" Sissi bit her lower lip. What Howard


    said was all true, and she could not refute any of them.


    But if she admitted to it, then what had she be? A mistress who intervenes in other people''s


    families? Or a vain woman?


    Howard smiled at Amelia appreciatively. This was how she should deal with her rival in love!


    Andter he thought back, that night at the Hopper''s residence, she clearly had something to tell


    him, but in the end, it was left unsettled.


    If he had not been aware of her abnormality and sent his reliable assistant to start an investigation,


    how could he have known that Amelia had suffered so much all by herself?


    Amelia was too tolerant. As the saying goes, ''ally loads on the willing horse''. Sissi must have


    seen her inaction, so she carried out her n of annexing Patrick step by step.


    At this time, Sissi had already organized a set of excuses for herself. "Ms. Amelia Ramsay, I heard


    about Uncle Howard''s question just now. The reason why I remain silent isn''t that I disrespect Uncle


    Howard, it’s because I am very distressed about... how can I exin to relieve the


    misunderstanding from Uncle Howard and you."


    Amelia gave Sissi the middle finger in her heart. "She was pregnant, but she still dared to tell me


    that’s a misunderstanding?" "Since it''s a misunderstanding, Ms. Sissi should make it even clearer.


    Otherwise, if we kept this misunderstanding, it will be detrimental to your reputation." Howard said


    cunningly.


    Sissi said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, I came back to Northville to avoid my former


    husband."


    Howard said tepidly. "Oh? Does that mean you''re divorced?"


    Speaking of this, Sissi subconsciously avoided Howard''s eyes. "Y-yes."


    Howard replied in a calm tone, "ording to my investigations, it seems to be more appropriate to


    address you as ''Madam Sissi''."


    These words made all three of their hearts race. Especially Amelia!


    Could it be that Sissi had not divorced yet? That she was deceiving Patrick?


    Thinking of this, Amelia looked at Patrick hurriedly.


    However, after a short moment of surprise, he quickly rposed himself. He asked


    discontentedly, "Dad! Haven''t you gone too far?"


    Howard snapped, "Patrick, she lied to you!"
