The men in black shook their heads one after another. If Mr. Hopper knew that they were going to touch his wife's clothes, there would be a punishment far worse than death awaited them.
Amelia bit her lower lips and said, "This doesn't work and that doesn't work either. Patrick is not here. Can't you just make an exception?"
The man in black said, "Madam, sir has been at home all the time."
Amelia scoffed. "Don't you lie to me, okay?"
The scene where Patrick left her to chase after Sissi the previous night had been deep-rooted in her mind!
She did not believe that Patrick would not have taken advantage of such a chance to have fun.
Just as the man in black was about to open his mouth to prove his master's innocence, a cold, displeased voice came from behind them. "What's all the noise about this early in the morning?"
It was Patrick!
Amelia stared at Patrick who was walking towards her. He was bluntly looking back at her and teased, "Thought you were a woman of integrity? It's been
only one night and you can no longer stand it?"
The man in black next to him did not dare to tell the truth. His face that was full of vicissitudes and dejection looked much more like he was the one who could not stand it anymore. Amelia, on the other hand, had a rosy complexion.
Amelia glanced at the hostile Patrick and was about to speak when he snorted. "If you can't stand it and want to come back, just say it. What's with the hesitation."
Amelia raised her eyebrows, wondering which part of her gave Patrick such an illusion.
She pursed her lips and said, "I came back to pack my luggage."
Patrick's eyes turned cold. It seemed that he was mistaken. This woman was determined to go against him!
If that was the case, she could not blame him for being heartless. "Beg me then. Otherwise, I won't let you take anything away from Land of Fragrance."
Amelia could not hide her anger and said, "I bought those clothes and jewelry myself. You don't have the right to keep them, do you?"
Patrick remained unmoved. "They're now in Land of Fragrance. Of course, they're mine." "Are you a robber?" Amelia blurted out.
"You still don't know who I am ?" Patrick crossed his arms over his chest, as if he approved of the title she had just given him.
Amelia gritted her teeth and asked, "Shouldn't you at least return my bank book? Your name, Patrick, isn't on it!"
At this moment, Patrick's eyes were sharp and threatening. "Why? Get your bank book back so that you could feed Huxton?"
Amelia's beautiful eyes sparkled with anger. "Don't look down on anyone! Apart from being your butler, there are many other jobs that Huxton can do. Don't think that he can't live without you!"
Patrick sneered and said, "Since you're so confident in him, why do you insist on letting him come back to Land of Fragrance? He can always find other jobs."
Amelia clenched her fists and said, "Don't you understand? Being your butler is the only job that can make Huxton happy!"
Patrick shot her a jealous glance. "You're wrong, aren't you? He's your butler now."
Amelia was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take him as my butler. You let him come back, and I'll pay for his salary in the future!"
Patrick's face darkened and he approached Amelia in a few steps. He raised his hand and saw her face turn away subconsciously. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
When their eyes met, he asked in a cold voice, "Didn't you just say that you're not supporting him?"
