"But..." Nora hesitated.
"No huts, just look at what I can do!" Amelia patted her chest confidently and raised her head from Nora's shoulder. She then said to Patrick, "Give me a minute, I still have something to settle!"
Good heavens!
Yvette was shocked. She could not believe that Amelia would talk to Patrick like this!
"What's the matter?" Patrick asked. He did not show any unpleasantness maybe because he was guilty.
Amelia was originally too lazy to talk back, but she suddenly changed her mind when she glanced at Yvette's surprised face.
She pointed at Yvette who was still in a daze and said, "I was tripped by this teacher."
Patrick's glance followed Amelia's words and landed coldly on Yvette whom he did not bother to pay attention to since he entered the mansion. He was giving out a dangerous aura.
In front of Patrick, Yvette could not help but bow her head and greeted him, "Mr. Hopper."
She spat out the words clearly and her voice was soft. It was undoubtedly very likeable to use such a voice to read to children but to use it on Patrick, it was a waste of effort!
With just one glance, Patrick fixed his gaze on Amelia again and asked, "Why did she trip you?"
Amelia said in a high tone, "She's trying to trouble me."
Yvette let out a cry of innocence from her mouth. "I didn't!"
Glancing at Patrick's emotionless face, tears rolled down from Amelia's cheek, "You may ask Nora and Huxton whether she did anything or not."
Without waiting for Nora to open her mouth, Huxton replied first, "Yes, she did!"
Amelia let out a smile as justice was by her side.
"See, even Huxton said so."
"Mr. Hopper, I didn't do anything!" Seeing that Amelia and his servant were about to turn the wrongs into rights, Yvette was so anxious that she burst into tears. She looked rather pitiful.
A normal man would have given her a chance to explain herself even if he was not planning on going soft on her. But guess what did Patrick said?
"If that's the case, just dismiss her then!" 'Just dismiss her then!' Amelia who seemed to have heard a heavenly voice said happily, "Mr. Hopper, you are the best!"
Patrick was in dazed as he was staring at Amelia's sweet and gentle smile.
However, Yvette was so mad that she almost went nuts, "Who are you to decide whether I stay or leave, Madam Watson hasn't said anything yet!"
Amelia shook her head secretly. "How could Yvette be teaching etiquette when she herself was so thick faced? Does she really wants to be chased away instead?"
Patrick's brows furrowed. He was more sensitive to threats compared to Amelia!
As for Yvette, she had dug her own grave by saying that. Patrick then replied, "Don't worry, I'll personally explain it to mom, there's no need for you to worry about it."
Yvette felt a lump in her throat as she suddenly realized who she was talking to! This person seemed to have been offended by her...
But if she left, all the efforts she had made would go in vain. Yvette suddenly thought of something and said, "Mr. Patrick, if I were to leave like this, Andrew and Ashley will definitely be sad. Can I wait till I see them for the last time before I leave? Please, Mr. Hopper."
When the time arrived, she would cry in front of Andrew and Ashley. With the love of the two kids for her, they would definitely cry and cause a nuisance just to stop her from leaving.
She could then take advantage of the situation and use the children to turn the spearhead towards Nora
But the reality was not how she had imagined. Patrick was here to pick up his wife, so he was not in the mood to listen to anyone's nonsense. Hence, he decisively took out his phone and made a phone call.
