Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 971

"Owen!" Amelia was overwhelmed with gratefulness and hurriedly praised him, "You are truly a savior! Not only towards me, but you're such a great benefactor to the entire Apex Construction!"

"Amelia, you're exaggerating." Owen had never sought credit for her.

After appreciating him, Amelia could not help adding on, "Owen, could you tell me the whole process of this matter in detail?"

Owen answered lightly, "Yes, of course, but there is one thing that I still have to be honest with you. In fact, the person you should thank most isn't me, but..."

Amelia asked, "But who?"

Owen continued, "It's Patrick."

Amelia delicate face was full of absurdity. "Owen, you're kidding, aren't you?"

Patrick was not aware about this. Besides, even if he knew, he would not even help her.

Owen sounded, "Amelia, don't forget my profession.

I don't say things without reason."

Keeping her attitude in check, Amelia earnestly replied, "I don't doubt what you mean. It's just that...You told me that Patrick is the person I should thank the most. It sounds very much like a fantasy."

Owen explained, "This was what happened... At three o'clock in the morning the day before yesterday, we suddenly noticed a truck passing through C River's bridge which proceeded to conceal itself at a very remote corner."

"Right after that, the truck driver opened the door and dumped a huge amount of materials into the C river. Since we managed to catch him red-handed, we immediately made the arrest there and then."

Amelia listened very carefully. She kept thinking that if it had not been for Owen's timely intervention, the Bureau would have pounced on the fact that 0 River was contaminated again' to find fault with Apex Construction Corporation this morning.

After smoothing out her train of thought, Amelia could not help asking, "But, Owen, which part does Patrick have to play in this matter?"

Owen slightly cleared his throat and emphasized, "I was just about to tell you..."

"Alright." Amelia waited.

It turned out that after Owen caught the suspect the night before yesterday, the perpetuator remained stubborn and refused to tell the truth.

Owen had to call Patrick the next morning for help.

As soon as Patrick saw the suspect, he started beating him up without first ascertaining whether he was guilty or not.

Why was it always Patrick who had to carry out this job of violence?

Because after all, Owen and his men were the police, which were known as the 'so-called public servants' of people. It would not be good if news about their private punishments towards a suspect was leaked.

Even more so with Owen's personality, obtaining a suspect's confession through torture was not something he was privy to.

If it were not for the fact that this issue was urgent for Amelia, Owen could have been patient enough to wait for the suspect to be dealt with.

But Patrick, the devil incarnate, feared nothing. The first thing he did after he arrived was to give a violent beating, without first consulting for reason.

If it could be compared, then Owen would represent 'light', whereas Patrick represented the 'darkness' on the opposite spectrum.

The two brothers had always been very distinct from one another.

Patrick was full of cruelty, while Owen was filled with stability.

Since a long time ago, Owen had been the best person to fix all the mess and the abuse of power caused by Patrick.

For instance, Patrick threw Meggie into the Money Cabinet in order to avenge Amelia. He tortured her both physically and mentally. In the end, she was thrown aside like garbage for the media to report on.

Without Owen's protection, Patrick would never be able to get away for his crime.
