Chapter 912
Chapter 912
The long eyelashes of Amelia, who was standing behind Howard, trembled. She quickly lowered her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand in order to cover up her embarrassment.
Her action was fast, but not as fast as the eyes of the people who wanted to see it. Sissi looked at her and whispered, "Ms. Amelia Ramsay, I'm not saying this to provoke you. I just want to prove to Uncle Howard that Patrick did meet me more than once. Life is always full of surprises. I'm guilty, but the kid is innocent. Are you cold enough to let it be treated unfairly?"
Sissi's words were like shackles, firmly locked on Amelia's neck, making her unable to say a word.
Sissi's underlying meaning was that if Amelia wanted to put her in a dilemma, it would mean that she was putting the future successor of the Hopper Family in a dilemma too. With just a few words, so was Amelia in another dilemma.
Noticing that Amelia's face was extremely pale, Patrick felt as if his heart had been punched by an invisible hand. However, Sissi was saving herself, if he showed mercy to Amelia, it meant that Sissi would be doomed eternally!
"I have no choice but to explain it to Amelia afterwards!" Patrick made up his mind.
Before Amelia spoke up, Howard said coldly, "Sissi Roberts, even if you really conceived Patrick’s child, I still refuse to acknowledge it as a member of the Hopper Family! That's all I’m saying. Suit yourself!"
Sissi said with a sad smile, "Uncle Howard, I’m not asking for anything. I’m just begging you to let me give birth to it quietly."
Howard went on to say, "So that you can take advantage of us with this child?"
Sissi shook her head. "I wouldn't dare! My time with Patrick has come to an end. What else would I dare to ask for?"
Howard's gentle face was full of mockery. "Since you already know that everything has come to an end, then why did you come back to Northville?!"
"Uncle Howard, please believe me. This is just an unwitting incident, and the appearance of this child caught me off guard. Just as you said, every parent could understand. It's not the right time for this child to appear. As a mother... I am reluctant to abort it."
Sissi said as tears began to fell from her eyes. It was impossible to not be moved by her.
Amelia really wanted to escape at this moment,
because Sissi's words were forcing her to abdicate! Forcing her to divorce Patrick! Forcing her to submit to circumstances! This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She was having a severe headache, but she could not shed tears and could only silently endure all manner of insults and abuse. She hated that she could not be like Sissi. On what grounds could Sissi cry whenever she wanted to and to cry so beautifully? Even a woman would feel heartbroken when seeing Sissi cry.
No wonder... Patrick had never forgotten her for so many years...
While Amelia was racking her brain, she heard Howard say heartlessly, "This child must be aborted!"
Amelia's heart trembled. She looked up at Howard who had made the decision, and heard him continue in the next second, "The child of Patrick can only be born by Amelia!"
Amelia's eyes turned red, and her tears, which she had been holding on to for quite some time, seemed to fall apart.
Just as she was moved by Howard's protectiveness, Patrick insisted, "Sissi and I will have to keep our child!"
Patrick's words completely destroyed all hope for Amelia!
Howard could no longer hold himself back. He slapped Patrick in the face and said, "Do you still remember how you swore to me, your grandfather, and the ancestors of the Hopper Family back then?!"
Patrick paused for a few seconds. After the numbness on his cheek faded, he said, "I remember."
"Why don't you repeat it to me!" Howard said angrily.
"If I met Sissi again in my life and have feelings for her, then I'm no longer a member of the Hopper Family! Furthermore... I'm willing to lose everything that's related to the Hopper Family! I'll relinquish all the titles related to the Hopper Family, and I'll do the same for all the companies that are related to the Hopper Family!"
Amelia looked at him incredulously. Words were cheap, but they carried a heavy weight. Besides, he swore it in front of the ancestors of the Hopper Family. It could be shown that he had made a great determination in the past. He was not just boasting!
No wonder, every time she said that she wanted to expose Sissi, he always looked nervous.
He had made such a heavy vow, yet he still stood by Sissi's side. Maybe this was what they called 'true love'. Amelia thought blankly and desperately.
"Very well! It seems that you remember it very clearly!" Howard looked at him seriously and said, "Patrick, I will give you one more chance. Today, you will take Sissi to have an abortion and send her abroad. I will pretend that nothing happened! If you don't agree, I will call your grandpa now and let him deal with this matter personally!"
"No! No way..." Before Patrick could say anything, Sissi jumped out to stop him in a panic.
Howard was satisfied that Sissi feared Patrick's grandpa. But it was no wonder she was fearful.
Because Patrick’s grandpa's means of remediation were very effective, and cruel. It was enough to leave a lingering trauma for the whole life.
He still remembered when Patrick's grandpa heard of Sissi's behavior from Eve, he immediately ordered people to investigate her family backgrounds.
After that, Patrick's grandpa sent proof of Sissi three-timing in her relationship to her university. Although he did not directly reveal who the three men were, it was enough for people to fantasize.
For a time, Sissi's image as 'the most beautiful teacher' in the minds of all the students had plummeted. She had become a wh*re!
Due to the pressure of public opinion, the school soon fired Sissi.
That was not enough. Next, Patrick's grandpa also made an issue out of Sissi's parents. He personally visited Sissi's parents, insinuating them over how they educated their daughter, which made Sissi's parents so angry. In the end, they even said that they would abandon their daughter.
"To take one's job was to break their limbs, but to wreck someone's home was to cut their lineage! Patrick's grandpa was indeed a vicious man!
Sissi left Northville by a private plane provided by Patrick’s grandpa and when she left, she did not take anything with her because she was not given the opportunity to.
Thus, that was why Sissi was so scared when she heard 'Patrick's grandpa'!
Even Patrick panicked for once. "Dad! We need more time to consider this matter. If you call grandpa, you' re definitely trying to kill her!"
"Then let her have an abortion now!" Howard said in a stern tone.
