Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 493

Amelia said with a pout, "Didn't I do this all for you?"

Patrick gaped at her beauty and raised his eyebrows with adoration. "Why was it for me?"

Amelia reasoned, "When I saw Shawn's news just now, you were going get angry with me. To not aggravate you, I had to avoid you."

Patrick harrumphed coldly and said, "Excuses."

"I'm serious! Don't you see that you're being angry right at this moment?" Amelia said in an irrefutable accusatory tone.

Patrick replied stony-faced, "That's because you were hiding it from me in the first place."

Amelia played along and retorted, "I hid it from you because you got angry with me first."

" " Patrick was speechless.

After a pause, Amelia changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Mr. Hopper, do you think Leah's family will still pull strings for you and her?"

"Not possible, I'm not a recycle center," Patrick's answer was surprisingly similar to Leah's.

"Then, what she did today would definitely have a bad taint on her family's name. Will she be

punished?" "No, she won't," Patrick said with certainty.

Amelia gave him a confused look and said, "How can you be so sure?"

The cold look on Patrick's face revealed a hint of confidence. He said, "Because I will help her."

After thinking for a while, Amelia finally came to her realization and said, "Oh, you want to plead the Dollar's for her? Well... If it were you, the Dollar's would never push you away!"

Patrick shook his head and answered, "Pleading for mercy is only a surface solution and it doesn't fix the cause."

"Then?" Amelia asked curiously.

Patrick gave her a look that implied that she should calm down a little and said, "I have my own plans. You'll know when it happens."

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a few days had gone.

"What? Jack Hunt is dead?" Upon hearing the news from Owen, Patrick, who was planning out Roxxon's expansion plan for next year in the study, clenched his fist that was holding the computer mouse.

Owen said solemnly, "Yes, the men of the West City Police Station ambushed Jack's house after lurking around since a few days ago to no new lead. We finally decided to capture him in one fell swoop as no one was contacting him. When we slammed the door open, we found that Jack had hanged himself."

Patrick frowned slightly and said, "How could this happen?"

Owen explained, "There are many reasons for his suicide. It could be due to his conscience, or that he knew he couldn't escape imprisonment..."

"Impossible!" Patrick denied. "It would take criminals like him a reincarnation for them to come to their conscience. Furthermore, imprisonment is not a death sentence. Jack had no reason to commit suicide."

Owen replied in a low voice, "Yes, your thoughts are similar to mine. However, there is another possibility that Jack is threatened by his superior."

Patrick asked seriously,' "Where is his phone?"

"It was thrown downstairs and broke into pieces."

Patrick asked again, "Then...how about the phone's SIM card?"

"The toilet cover in his place was open. We suspect that Jack might have flushed out the SIM card."

"What about the computer?"

"He didn't have a computer at home."
