"B*tch! Go to hell!" Now all that the crazy woman wanted to do was to give Amelia a tight slap in face. The weight of Hobart as she dragged on him along did not seem to stop her impulse to act on her anger.
However, there was no way that Patrick would let her wish come true. His gaze was murderous as he stared at the forthcoming woman. All in a sudden, he forcibly grasped Kayla Elliott's wrist!
With the sound of bone fracturing, Patrick broke her wrist bone with just the strength of his bare hand.
The agonizing pain had turned Kayla's face pale. Every inch of her body was trembling as she moaned in pain.
Finley was stunned seeing this. It was apparent to her that the influence Amelia had on her uncle was in fact far more horrifying than she could imagine.
On the other hand, Hobart's expression was relatively calm. Although Kayla was somehow brought upon by him, her blatant stubbornness had already annoyed him.
"Get lost!" Hobart loosened his grip on Kayla's hand. He then threw her away in direction of the wall near the staircase as if he was dumping a bag of garbage.
Kayla's hand was first broken by Patrick, and later she was being abandoned right away by Hobart. She could not help feeling terrified and disappointed as she left the scene.
Seeing Kayla's stumbling back as she left, for the very first time Amelia had recognized the cold-hearted side of Patrick despite his playful and unserious character that she had been used to.
To be honest, Amelia bitterly wondered what had these men been taking women for.
She pondered at the thought that if these men had been treating women as mere toys.
That assumption should not have gone too far from the reality.
Although Kayla did not deserve any sympathy, the viciousness and ruthlessness demonstrated by these two men were beyond her imagination.
Seeing that Amelia's face was pale, Patrick thought that she was frightened by Kayla. Without him noticing of his action, Patrick reached out to touch her head and asked concerningly, "Are you okay?"
Amelia managed to force a smile in reply, "I'm fine."
The hand that had just broken Kayla's wrist was later stroking her head gently. Amelia could not help having such an impression that Patrick would have twisted her head with this hand had she provoked him one day.
Hobart had been growing up around women. Upon seeing Amelia's unnatural expression when facing Patrick, Hobart had more or less guessed her thought.
Amelia was afraid of Patrick! To be more accurate, she was afraid of what Patrick had just done!
That was indeed true. No one on earth would like a violently abusive man.
That was the reason why he had never hit any woman as such behavior would easily leave a bad impression towards other women.
At this moment, Patrick's thoughtfulness towards Amelia would not negate the fact that he had been cruelly violent against Kayla. If a man like Hobart would regard such act as ruthless, let alone Amelia who was just a delicate woman.
"Ms. Amelia, are you feeling better now?" Hobart had replaced with a polite tone when she spoke to Amelia. He always knew when to deliver his concern at the most appropriate timing when women were at their weakest point.
Amelia looked up and caught a glimpse of warmth within his eyes which made her feel relaxing. She subconsciously smiled, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
Hobart nodded in relief, "It's good to hearthat. I should be responsible for this incident. I had never expected that she would in fact misbehave to such an intolerable extent."
Amelia shook her head slightly and said, "It's just a small accident. You don't have to take it to your heart."
Speaking of the truth, she suffered no loss despite being frightened by Kayla's rage at the beginning.
Looking at Kayla on the other hand, not only had she suffered a broken wrist, she had completely lost Hobart's affection as well...
Patrick abruptly lowered his head and bit the tip of Amelia's ear revengefully.
Amelia immediately frowned. She covered her ear and dodged her head to one side before questioning Patrick irritably, "Why the hell did you bite me?"
