Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 771

Amelia had given him a choice long ago, hadn't she?

It was either her or Sissi. Was it that difficult to make a choice?

If it were not for the fact that she had suddenly found herself pregnant, would she have continued staying here and endure Patrick's tantrums?

In the face of Amelia's constant stream of accusations, Patrick's mood could not help but turn sour. He replied sternly, "Nothing is happening between Sissi and me. She's now alone in Northville, and I'm only helping, protecting her because of our past relations. I've only lied to you because of my father and grandfather as I didn't want an outsider exposing what I'm doing to them. How many more times do you need me to explain to you?"

Sensing that he was persistent about this, Amelia was riled up. "Nothing is happening between you and her? Then who were you hugging so closely back at Timothy Village? You're only helping her because of your past relations with her? Since there was even a relation, it proves that you still have feelings for her, and that's why you feel the need to fulfil your responsibility! And you said you only hid it from me because of your father and grandfather, and you didn't want an outsider to expose you? Ha... That sure sounds good. Do you think you're a diplomat? Yea, that's right, to put it plainly, you have never trusted me from the beginning!"

"Go to hell, Sissi!" thought Amelia.

Amelia's chest heaved up and down vigorously. It was always because of Sissi that she lost control of herself like a lunatic in front of Patrick!

Instead of describing Sissi as Patrick's weakness, she could also be interpreted as Amelia's sore spot. Amelia had always had to pay the price in pain whenever that sore spot was poked in the slightest!

This day was exhausting for Amelia. To add on, she even gave Abner so much of her blood. Amelia was tired out from early on.

And at this moment, she found herself in the middle of outrage because of Sissi. Her Health Points was going to deplete to zero very soon!

Patrick glared at Amelia, his gaze looking as if he wanted to devour her alive. What was the connection between Patrick wanting to invest in Apex Construction Corporation and accommodating Amelia regarding Sissi?

Casting a sweeping glance at Patrick's attractive yet menacingly cold face, Amelia knew he was enraged to the extreme at this point. But she continued unrelentingly, "Since you have chosen Sissi over me, you'd better stay out of my company's affairs. I don't want to reveal my company's secrets to outsiders!" Patrick's eyes flew wide open at the term 'outsider'. "I'm an outsider? Then who's sharing the same bed intimately with you? A ghost?"

Blood rushed to the top of Amelia's head in an instant. She hated whenever Patrick used matters relating to what happened in the bedroom to boost his prestige as a counterpoint.

She snorted, then replied with her face absolutely reddened, "I have made myself clear. Unless you give up on Sissi completely, I won't accept your investment in Apex Construction Corporation!"

Patrick arrogantly added, "And what if I want to invest regardless?"

"Sorry, my company collectively refuses your investment!" Amelia might as well have written 'I'm the boss of my company!' on her forehead in bold, red letters.

Patrick sneered, for he was familiar with how corporations worked. He then said, "Do you think you alone can represent your entire company? Shouldn't there always be a board of directors' meeting and voting for something that concerns the company's interest?"

Patrick was quite confident that all the directors of Apex Construction Corporation, except for Amelia, would vote for him to join the shareholders.

Amelia was stunned for a moment before she understood what Patrick was going to do. She then spat through gritted teeth, "Even if you invest in us, I can lose all of your investment overnight and make you lose all your capital!"

Patrick only replied calmly, "I'll invest again, then."

Amelia knew he was not joking. She seethed, "Take it as I'm begging you then! Treat Apex Construction Corporation as nothing, just let it go!"

"It's already more than enough for you to hurt me. Yet, you want to ruin Apex Construction Corporation too? Dream on, Patrick Hopper!" cried out Amelia in silence.

Patrick scowled. People had begged him to help them, but this was the first time someone was pleading with him to not give help. For a moment, he did not know what to do with Amelia.

"What are you so worried about?" His instinct told him that Sissi was not the only reason.
