Chapter 915
Chapter 915
Amelia bit her lower lip, trying to insist on her own opinion. But Howard was so emotional that made her off guard. From the old man's pleading eyes, she knew that if she refused again, he would really kneel for her!
And she definitely could not bear it!
Because Howard had always been very kind to her, she had no reason to vent her anger on him. "Well, I'll not divorce him this time for your sake."
She had figured it out. Instead of persuading Howard, it was better off to calm him down first.
She would negotiate with Patrick privately about the divorce.
Hearing Amelia's words, Howard seemed to be very happy, but at the same time, he felt sorry and said, "Amelia, you are such a sensible child! If Patrick really disappointed you, I will be the first not to forgive him!"
"Dad..." Amelia called out, with a little helplessness.
"Are you finished talking?" At this moment, a cold male voice interrupted them.
Amelia and Howard turned back at the same time and saw that Patrick was staring at them as if they
were plotting a terrorist attack.
Amelia glanced at him and quickly turned her eyes away. She did not dare to look at him at all, afraid that she might collapse and cry at any time.
Seeing that she did not even want to look at him, the awful atmosphere around Patrick was becoming stronger.
Howard looked at his son and said sternly, "Patrick, I will not call your grandpa, but Sissi must stay at the place I arrange for her until her child is born!"
He could only cut off all opportunities for Patrick to meet her privately.
Otherwise, even if he sent Sissi to the ends of the earth, Patrick would still be able to find her!
Thus, he could appease Patrick but also cut off their ties. He could also give Amelia an explanation!
It was the most tolerant and precautionary step Howard could think of!
He hoped Patrick would agree for the sake of all of them.
Just as he said to Amelia, he had his reasons. He did not want to contact Patrick's grandpa unless he had no other choice, because that would be causing more trouble.
Patrick was his son. More importantly, he was the heir of The Hopper Family, the president of Roxxon
Corporation. If he was relieved of all his duties because of Sissi and even cast out by the Hopper Family, Eve and the others would plague his life and become resentful over why he was unwilling to turn a blind eye over Sissi's matter.
On the other hand, he could not afford to devote his time and energy to train another qualified successor!
"I have no choice but to let Amelia be wronged in this case." Howard thought regretfully.
Amelia felt a little helpless as well at this moment.
Amelia understood from Howard that he wanted to use a gentler method to calm down Patrick's rebellion, and at the same time help their marriage.
But even so, she could not be happy. So what if Sissi was under house arrested for her lifetime?
Patrick's heart would always be with Sissi and their child. In other words, it was a band-aid at best!
After listening to Howard, Patrick's eyebrows slightly relaxed. He knew that compared to the idea of asking Sissi to have an abortion, this idea was much more merciful.
The most important thing was that Howard promised not to contact his grandfather, which meant that he would cut him and Sissi some slack.
To tell the truth, Patrick felt that this was enough.
What he wanted to do most at this moment was to explain to Amelia that the child in Sissi's belly had nothing to do with him as soon as possible!
As for the room in the Escalt Hotel, which he bought for Sissi with his ID card, he just stayed for a while and then quickly left.
Facing Sissi's allure with her wet body, he had never done anything to her! Not to mention having child with her!
Before Patrick could open his mouth and give a reply, he saw Howard staring at him and said warningly, "From now on, you must get along with Amelia well and make up for the harm you have done to her! Don't mention the divorce again! I won't agree to it in any case!"
Patrick was expressionless, but in fact, he was overjoyed. "This old man has finally done something good!" He thought happily.
Howard turned to Amelia and said softly, "Amelia, if he dares to divorce you again, you can call grandpa directly and tell him the truth about what happened today. It's best to let grandpa cast him out of the Hopper Family! I'll just assume that he was never born!"
Amelia's heart sank after hearing this. "What did he mean?" She thought.
Would she not be the culprit if she divorced Patrick and let him be cast out of the Hopper Family?
Eve would hunt her down to the ends of the earth if Patrick was expelled from the Hopper Family. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Amelia was feeling a headache. She did not expect that Howard would set her up as well just to prevent a divorce with Patrick.
Howard looked at them and asked seriously, "Patrick, Amelia, do you have anything else to add?"
When Patrick was about to nod his head and agree to Howard's request, Sissi asked in a soft voice, "Patrick... Can you come over?"
Howard's face suddenly turned cold. He was already very merciful to Sissi. If she dared to make any more bad suggestions, he was not to blame for being heartless!
Patrick immediately asked for Amelia's permission, "I'll go over there for a moment."
Amelia replied coldly, "Just go, you don't need to tell me."
Patrick was suddenly choked, but he could not have a temper. He was the perpetrator throughout this matter. After he left here, he would explain the whole thing to her!
He turned around and walked to Sissi.
A moment later, he stood in front of Sissi and asked in a deep voice, "Sissi, if you have any concerns, say
it as soon as possible so I can solve it for you."
Sissi bit her lower lip and asked pitifully, "Patrick, you... Are you reluctant to divorce Amelia?"
Patrick squinted his eyes.
Sissi asked again, "Or are you reluctant to part with the Hopper Family's property?"
Patrick remained silent.
Sissi said with tears in her eyes, "I thought you would give up everything for me. I was even ready to go through thick and thin with you. I didn't expect that it was all in my imagination!"
Patrick paused a little while and said, "You have seen how important Amelia was to my father. I think it's impossible for me to divorce her. Furthermore, once I divorce her, you'll be the first person to suffer. My father will put all the blame on you. Don't even think about staying in Northville with your child, your life might not even be guaranteed."
