Brittany did not notice something was wrong with Daniel. She was so happy that she lose herself.
Amelia who was under the stage put her hand on the back of the chair, leaned her little chin on it and muttered, "It's going quite well."
Patrick raised an eyebrow. "Jealous?"
"Why should I be jealous?" Amelia shook her fingers. "My title of being 'Mrs. Hopper' is much more precious than being 'Mrs. Phillips'."
Patrick was talking about the wedding. However, he did not expect Amelia would reply this. He pretended to be doubtful and said, "I didn't expect you to be materialistic."
Amelia said frankly, "How many people in the world are not materialistic? You are not materialistic now because you have been used to other people's flattery. What's more, you have been tired of other people's flattery. To be honest when you prepared so much food and brought them to me, I was quite happy in my heart. Especially when I saw the envious and jealous look of The Ramsay Family's who ignored me in the past. I was even happier."
"It seems that my approach pleases you?" Patrick came to the conclusion.
"That's right." She did manage to hold her head high with the help of Patrick's "affection".
"If you want them to curry favor with you, you must stay with me. Otherwise, it is uncertain when you become The Ramsay Family's invisible girl again."
Amelia used him to control The Ramsay Family. However, Patrick used The Ramsay Family's as a reason to hold against her.
He wanted her to know that he could spoil her very much. On the contrary, he could make her became nothing as well!
Amelia gave him a sidelong glance and her tone was very nervous. "So the way you say it is if I can't serve you well, will you kick me off?"
"Of course. As long as I wave my hand, I can have all kinds of women."
He spoke in such a rich guy manner because he intended to exert pressure on her. So she could not act recklessly in front of him.
Amelia smiled and said, "Mr. Hopper, you seem to have forgotten something."
Patrick restrained the urge to kiss her when he looked at her eyes and soft and beautiful face. Then he asked in a low voice, "What is it?"
"Although I'm invisible in my family but I'm still a descendant from a noble family. I can get an arranged marriage to a man from a well-matched family even if I didn't meet you. So... you'd better not be overconfident."
Patrick's slender fingers on the table tightened. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You're trying to make a fool of yourself."
"You don't believe I'm capable of that?"
"I don't believe it."
Amelia blinked slightly. "If you don't believe me, then let's make a bet."
"How do we bet?"
Amelia placed her fist on her cheek and looked at him with wandering eyes. "Can you tell me what benefit will I get if I win the bet?"
"Whatever you say," Patrick's reply was full of confidence and egotistical.
"Okay." Amelia who had received Patrick's promise turned her head and glanced at a man who kept peeking at her. She squintted her eyes, licked her lips, put her hands on the side of the chair, circle her right hand around her left waist to show her slender waistline. Then she gently touch her hip with her left hand...
