Chapter 911
Hearing Sissi's feigned pleading, Amelia glanced at her and said, "Sissi, if you don't want to be slapped again, you'd better shut up!"
Sissi's beautiful face froze, and then she looked at Patrick nervously, with a little grievance that she was being bullied.
Patrick was worried that Amelia's agitation would spoil their plans, so he warned her in a low voice, "Stop it!"
Amelia stared at him with hatred in her eyes. After a while, all her sadness turned into self-mockery. "It turns out that I was the one who made trouble?"
After saying that, she suddenly raised another hand and waved Patrick's arm away.
Patrick tightened his fingers but could not catch her. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to her, but Amelia did not look at him anymore and hid behind Howard.
She did this not because she was afraid of Sissi, but because Sissi played the trick first! Sissi just wanted to take advantage of Patrick, but Sissi had forgotten that Howard was backing her up!
"You are such a failure!" Howard was so angry seeing Patrick muddled up over Sissi and almost wanted to beat him up himself!
Patrick turned a deaf ear to his father's scolding. He stared at Amelia with his deep eyes but her face had been facing somewhere else. Finally, he took back his gaze regretfully.
When Howard reprimanded Patrick, Sissi bit her lower lip and interrupted, "Uncle Howard, I..."
"Shut up!" Howard interrupted. He turned to look at Sissi's flat stomach and asked rudely, "Don't think I'll believe that story you made up! Aren't you pregnant? Where's the certificate from the
hospital? Show me!"
Sissi nodded softly. "Okay, Uncle Howard, please wait for a moment. I'll get it right away."
Hearing this, Howard's heart sank. His visit this time did not give Sissi any time to respond. In order to prevent them from taking any countermeasures, he had arrived at Sissi's house when he called Patrick.
But at this moment, Sissi was unfazed and agreed to take out the certificate of pregnancy. It meant that she was really pregnant!
While Sissi was heading back to her bedroom, she passed by Patrick and looked at him faintly. Her eyes were full of prayer that only he could see and understand.
"Don't worry." Patrick winked the message at her slightly and gave her reassurance.
Whatever he promised Sissi, he would definitely do it!
Only then did Sissi walk away, she was in a state of worry and fear.
She was afraid that Patrick would be unable to bear Howard's questioning, or that he might suddenly be softhearted for Amelia and spill the beans.
Therefore, as quickly as her legs would carry her, she went to the bedroom and took out the certificate from the hospital. After that, she quickly returned to Howard and handed the certificate to him.
Howard took the paper over and took a glance.
Anyone who could read could understand that Sissi was not lying as it was written in black and white. She was really pregnant!
Howard clutched the certificate of pregnancy tightly. "Madam Sissi, please forgive me for not being able to trust this proof of pregnancy in such a hasty manner," he said in a very harsh tone.
Sissi's face turned pale upon hearing this. As if she had been insulted, she asked agitantly, "Uncle Howard, what do you mean by this?"
Howard snorted and tossed the certificate of pregnancy onto the coffee table. "Madam Sissi, you should know yourself!"
Sissi looked at Howard's disdainful reaction. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Uncle Howard, do you think that the baby in my belly does not belong to Patrick?"
At this point, Howard decided to have a falling-out with Sissi. "That's right! You have a messy private life. That's why you're unable to convince me with just your words and a sheet of paper."
"You are smart, but don't treat others as fools. As soon as I showed up, you said that you were pregnant with the offspring of our family. Do you think you can marry Patrick because of this baby? What a joke! The existence of the baby may be proven, but how can you prove who's the father to your baby?"
Amelia looked at Howard's back in astonishment. His reaction was way beyond her expectation.
In this world, there were only a few elders who did not love their heirs.
If it were Eve who came to deal with this matter, she would probably have held Sissi's hand and ogled over Sissi carefully. She would not even care about Amelia's feelings.
Howard's words hit right to Sissi's head. It was even more humiliating than the two slaps from Amelia.
But soon, she said, "After all, Uncle Howard just doesn't believe that the baby belongs to Patrick. If I can provide proof of our casual romance, will it increase the credibility of this matter?"
Howard's expression became stiff when he heard what she said and shouted in a trembling voice, "Shameless!"
Amelia's face was as pale as paper. If this was revenge for her previous slaps with her words and deeds, she had to admit that Sissi had succeeded! She was heartbroken and it was more painful than the pain on flesh!
Sissi laughed bitterly and said, "Shameless? Haha... Anyway, my personal image has been tarnished. It doesn't matter if I add anything to it. As long as my child can have a home, that's okay!"
Patrick frowned subconsciously. Sissi said that she had a way to prove that they had a casual romance. Could it be... Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
The next second, Sissi said, "Some time ago, my house was under renovation. Helplessly, Patrick sent me to the Escate Hotel, and that's the proof for me and Patrick spending the night there. Uncle Howard, if you still don't believe it, you can send someone to the front desk of the Escalt Hotel and ask the receptionist to bring out the record. Oh, by the way, I remember the room number is..."
"Shut up!" Howard was furious. If he still did not speak out, Sissi would have to describe all those
dirty details.
Sissi was interrupted halfway through, but she just elegantly pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Finally, Howard pointed at Patrick and said indignantly, "Patrick! Why don't you speak up? Or do you have to wait for her to tell me what you've done? I'm now commanding you to tell me the whole story and don't try to deceive me!"
Howard was giving Patrick a second chance. As long as Patrick denied that he had an affair with Sissi, he would help to reverse the whole thing and would also immediately send someone to destroy the hotel's room record!
However, Patrick maintained his original attitude. "The child is indeed mine."
