Mr. Hopper's "new lover" bullied the "old employee". If Meggie only bullied Amelia, it would not be a big deal.
However, Meggie was so conceited that she opposed the whole top managers of the company, so her consequence was terrible.
Although Patrick doted on Meggie on purpose, it was because of her own fault that she was fired.
"What are you going to do?" Looking at Amelia's disheveled clothes, Hobart thought that it would be too seductive for her to go out to work like this.
Amelia looked down at herself and said with embarrassment, "Please send me home."
"No problem." Even if Amelia did not say that, Hobart would send her home.
On the way, Amelia covered the bruise at the corner of her mouth with a concealer and asked casually, "Why did you go to Roxxon?"
"Well, I have some business to deal with."
There was a hint of regret in Amelia's eyes, "I'm so sorry to waste your time."
Hobart sighed, "Don't say that. It's me who should apologize to you."
Amelia didn't understand what he meant.
"My younger sister..." Hobart said with guilt and shame, "I apologize on her behalf for wronging you at the birthday party."
Amelia blinked her eyes and asked in surprise, "Did Maryanne tell you the truth?"
Hobart said helplessly, "I pressured her, so she spilled the beans. She wronged you because she was jealous of the relationship between you and Patrick."
Amelia felt strange, "By the way, since Maryanne is so jealous and stubborn, why hasn't she been pestering Patrick these days?"
Hobart told Amelia everything, "Maryanne stole the brooch from the safety box. After my parents knew about it, they were so angry, and she was grounded for four months. They also froze all her bank cards. She didn't have time and energy to pester Patrick. That's good. Since she can't see Patrick, she will stop thinking about him."
Hearing that Maryanne had been given a lesson, Amelia's anger towards her cooled down a lot.
"My parents want to invite you to our family when you're free. They want to apologize to you personally." Hobart said his main purpose of going to Roxxon Corporation.
"No!" Amelia waved her hand with trepidation and said, "How dare I accept their apology?"
Hobart said firmly, "The reason why my parents punished Maryanne so severely is mainly because that she ruined your reputation. Just promise me. Otherwise, they will definitely lecture Maryanne about this matter for the rest of their lives."
Amelia felt that it would be hypocritical if she continued to refuse, "Well, okay."
Hearing what she said, Hobart asked in a good mood, "Then... Can you come tomorrow afternoon? It's Saturday."
"Okay." After a pause, Amelia said cautiously, "Give me the address, and I'll go by myself."
Hobart asked with a faint smile, "Are you afraid that Patrick will misunderstand our relationship?"
'Er!" Amelia said in a hurry. These men around her were so shrewd. She really didn't know whether it was a good thing or not.
Seeing that Amelia did not deny it, Hobart was inexplicably a little angry, "Although it's improper for me so say this, I still want to say that I don't think Patrick treats you well. When you were wronged at the birthday party, as the host, he treated you coldly and allowed you to be taken away by the police. But the man called Milton behaved like a real man..."
