Patrick gently held Yvonne's waist with one hand and held her hand with the other hand. After hearing her words, his footsteps paused slightly, "Is this why your father become my business partner?"
Yvonne said nervously, "My father wants to pair me off with you in Northville because we have known each other since childhood. For the sake of my honesty, don't stop the cooperation with him halfway!"
Patrick said ruthlessly, "We've known each other since high school, but it's impossible for me and you to be together."
Yvonne smiled and said, "I know that many women like you, but I've had someone I like. If it weren't for the fact that you're my father's business partner, I wouldn't have accompanied him to come here tonight."
Patrick laughed and suddenly felt relaxed.
Although Boss Yun was old, he was very skillful at dancing. He held Amelia's hand and asked blandly, "You're so good at dancing. Do you often attend social activities with Mr, Hopper?"
Amelia said modestly, "You flatter me. I rarely attend such an occasion with Mr. Hopper."
Boss Yun began to sound out her intention, "Is that so? But I feel that Mr. Hopper cares about you so much. I thought you are a couple."
Amelia smiled and didn't say yes or no.
Boss Yun didn't hear any useful information from Amelia's words. However, for the sake of his daughter's happiness, he decided to ask again, "What do you think of Yvonne?"
Amelia replied honestly, "She is young and beautiful, and she has a nice family."
Boss Yun smiled more happily as he asked, "Do you think she and Mr. Hopper are well matched?"
Amelia touched her forehead and thought, "Is it really good for you to ask Mr. Hopper's wife this question?"
Boss Yun noticed Amelia's smile and thought that she was mocking his over-confidence, so he said seriously, "With my identity, I don't need to talk to you like this. I respect you, so I asked you that question."
In fact, Amelia really wanted to laugh because of Boss Yun's serious tone. She lowered her head quickly in case she would really laugh out loud.
When Boss Yun saw Amelia lowering her head, he was in a good mood because he thought that she was listening to him obediently, "I can see that Mr. Hopper is very considerate to you. This kind of consideration can only be found between lovers. But... do you know what rich people care about the most when they get married?"
Amelia bit her lip hard. She really wanted to laugh out loud. It seemed that Boss Yun really wanted her daughter to marry Patrick.
Boss Yun thought that Amelia didn't understand his words, so he continued to teach her, "Rich people all want marriages between families of equal social rank. Yvonne has a rich background, but you... don't have. You'd better stay away from Mr. Hopper. Otherwise, you're wasting your time and your heart will be hurt."
Boss Yun was an expert in business, but he was so naive when he thought about love.
Did he think that Patrick would fell in love with Yvonne as long as she stayed away from him? He didn't know that Patrick would refuse Yvonne.
Finally, Amelia couldn't control herself and laughed out loud. Boss Yun was confused. He thought that his words stimulated Amelia and she became crazy.
"Are you okay?" Boss Yun was so nervous that he got closer to Amelia to see what was going on with her.
Seeing this, Patrick got so angry.
"Ah! It hurts!" Yvonne suddenly screamed in pain, because Patrick suddenly held her hand with great strength and her hand was almost crushed by him.
