Finally, Amelia picked a black English shirt with a dark green collar and put it into Patrick's arms, saying, "Perfect match with you, isn't it?"
Patrick had no other option and agreed.
On Monday, at Roxxon.
After lunch, Amelia met with Cynthia at a lounge.
Putting her hair behind her ear, Cynthia felt nervous in front of Amelia, saying, "Ms. Amelia, how may I help you?"
Putting down the orange juice, Amelia said gracefully, "My dear, I remember you once said that you want to compete for Patrick against me?"
Cynthia was a flustered and said, "Ye... yes."
Amelia continued, "But the precondition is that Patrick being unmarried." Amelia said in a soft voice, making Cynthia more nervous.
Cynthia finally understood why she was so nervous -Amelia at this time was not only her superior, but more importantly, she was the official wife of Brother Patrick, which was unshakable.
Cynthia's eyes darkened and she said, "Ms. Amelia, I know clearly the huge difference between Brother Patrick and me..."
"That's good" Amelia said straightforwardly, "Patrick is my husband and the elders place great expectation on our marriage. Before you want to get him, you'd better think about whether my parents-in-
law will agree."
At the end of the sentence, Amelia's eyes became sharper. After thinking about it for the whole night, she decided to take the initiative to defend her identity as the younger daughter- in- law of the Hopper Family just in case of Cynthia's pregnancy. Otherwise, the two families would completely be in a mess.
Although her mother-in-law had always disliked her, Eve would never allow Patrick to have an affair with Cynthia, the daughter of their previous steward, since she had been peacockish and wouldn't allow anyone to damage the reputation of her family.
Under the pressure of Amelia's words, Cynthia couldn't even stand up straight and gasped in pain and said, "Ms. Amelia, don't worry. Yep, I do like brother Patrick, but since he is married, I will bury this love in my deep heart and won't disturb you."
Amelia emphasised with a serious tone, "I hope you can add the time limit, which is lifelong."
Cynthia lowered her head like a loser and said in a mosquito tone, "Yes, I will..."
At this time, Amelia left and paid for the drinks, leaving Cynthia in desperation.
After a while, Cynthia took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number. She sobbed softly, "Brother Patrick..."

Patrick arrived at the bar and the same table where Amelia was
and was confused when he saw Cynthia's tearful
eyes, asking, "What happened?"
It seemed that Cynthia had made up her mind. She pushed her phone to brother Patrick and pressed the "play" button.
In an instant, the conversation between Amelia and Cynthia 30 minutes ago was completely heard by Patrick.
When the record was being played, Cynthia had been looking at Patrick, expecting him bursting his anger out, but didn't expect he was totally indifferent.
