"Enough!" Howard waved his hand in front of him awkwardly, then turned his attention to Amelia again. "Amelia, what did you want to say to me just now?"
Amelia's breath hitched sharply in her chest. After the repeated interruptions, her thoughts were in a mess, all jumbled up! What could she say to him?
"Humph!" At this moment, Eve began to express her own mighty opinion, "This woman clearly doesn't have the ability to tie down her own husband. So, is it strange for his husband to cheat on her to meet his needs? In my opinion, instead of settling the score with Patrick, ask Nora to teach her how to be a competent wife!"
The younger ones were slightly taken aback. Did Eve just insult herself?
In the moment of strange silence, it suddenly dawned on Eve about what she just said. Her supple face transformed into livid in an instant, which was both terrifying and comical!
Amelia did not reply to her. It was Nora who added, "Mom, it's me who should learn how to control my husband from Amelia."
Everyone in the room was dumbstruck!
Was this something the gentle and elegant Nora would say?
Amelia glanced at Nora and silently applauded her. As expected, anyone brainwashed by Florence understood the world differently!
Eve had never expected Nora to say something like that. Therefore, her first reaction was not rage, but to think that Nora had been possessed to be able to say such shameless things in public!
Eve then suggested to Owen with a straight face, "Owen, I think your wife isn't feeling well. Send her back to rest in her room first!"
Upon hearing her, Amelia was overjoyed!
It seemed that Nora's change was such a hard pill for Eve to swallow that she would rather console herself and accuse Nora of being sick. What nonsense!
"Mom, I'm fine. I don't need to go back to my room yet. Let Patrick and Amelia continue."
As it was shown, the more innocent and naive a person was, the more frightening they would be when they acted out of character.
Though Nora did not say anything particularly unpleasant to hear, even her expression remained respectful, but Eve still felt that there was something different about her.
"Okay. Stay here if you're fine then." As she said this, Eve did not know what kind of look she was supposed to show Nora.
She could not smile at her and could not figure out what was going on in Nora's mind either.
As a result, Eve's expression turned more terrorizing while she struggled between smiling and scowling!
"Ahem!" Owen was very protective of his wife and pushed his younger brother into the spotlight. "Dad, mom, aren't we talking about Patrick?"
What!
Patrick cast a sinister look at his elder brother. He was trying his best this whole time to lower his sense of presence just for Owen to f*cking bring him back into the conversation again with just one sentence. Was that what brothers should do?
Crossing gaze with his brother's merciless eyes, Owen put one hand onto his waist calmly. The corner of Patrick's mouth hooked. He understood what he meant.
Could Patrick not know where his brother usually kept his gun?
It was a huge mistake that he did not bring Huxton along with him at this moment!
Howard took in all of the small movements and shook his head deep down at them. He thought, "These gossips are spreading wide right now. How can they still be in the mood to fool around? None of you is taking this seriously!"
"Patrick, let me ask you, who is the long-haired woman you carried in the magazine?"
Howard could tell that Amelia would not be able to overcome the obstacle that was Patrick. In that case, he would ask him directly.
Hearing him, Patrick glanced at his father and answered coldly, "If I say she's an old friend of mine, will you believe me?"
