Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 972

Amelia was speechless. Patrick was so violent and utterly unreasonable! But still, she could not deny that this was a good way to relieve her anger!

At this moment, Owen suddenly let out a soft laugh, enabling Amelia to detect a trace of cruelty. "What's more, in addition to Kingston's eldest daughter, his only son is still studying in Dallas. Guess who possesses the most power there? I don't think I would have to tell you this, right?"

As soon as Owen finished speaking, someone flashed across Amelia's mind, Gramps Hopper!

She breathed heavily. Owen was trying to tell her that Patrick tried to threaten Kingston by using the successor of the Gordon Family empire! He was practically holding Kingston by the neck, forcing him to admit defeat!

In all honesty, Amelia felt that this kind of method that involves other's loved ones was truly cruel and shameful.

But when it was used on a nemesis who was on the opposite end of the battleground, Amelia had no choice but to admit that this feeling was indeed very satisfying!

As she was still caught up in her thoughts, Owen added slowly, 'Amelia, Patrick was extremely busy for the whole of yesterday. He continuously declined his calls although his cell phone rang countless times.

Patrick must've lost businesses and profits with regards to this issue, though I couldn't ascertain the value as an outsider.

Despite that, considering the scale of Roxxon Corporation, anyone could predict that the losses weren't small. That's why I believe that the person you should be grateful to the most is Patrick."

Amelia hesitated for a while and tried to change the topic. "But Owen, you have also helped me a lot!

Don't forget that you led the team almost every day to C River to keep an eye out for me!

Besides, the suspect was also arrested by you and your team members, right?"

It sounded like Amelia was trying to persuade herself rather than Owen, so that she could further suppress her feelings for Patrick.

Owen explained, "Amelia, maybe you don't understand that there are certain things that I can't handle as a civil servant.

I can't consciously go against the law. If news broke out that I ever threatened a legal citizen, even my grandfather is unable to protect me with his power.

Only Patrick has the strength and capacity to carry out these evil deeds for you."

"To carry out these evil deeds for you..."

Amelia felt a tingling sensation on her nose as if she was about to cry.

After a while, she let out a muffled 'hmm', indicating that she had heard and understood what Owen had said.

He continued, "I noticed that Patrick didn't look well yesterday. I also know that you had work to do, so I asked Nora to deliver you some home-cooked meals. It's almost time. She should be nearing your company's building by now."

Amelia was confused. "Owen, wait a minute! You said Nora will be coming to my place?"

Owen replied, "Yes, I'm a little tied up right now so I won't talk any further. That's it. Let's contact each other later."

"Okay...sure." Just as Amelia's voice faded away, Owen hung the call.

Observing Amelia's blank expression after the call, Jonathan could not help but ask, "Amelia, what happened?"

He had to call out to Amelia twice for her to finally come to her senses. With a perplexed expression, she informed him, "Uncle Tucker, someone had already settled the matter of C River for the company."

Jonathan's eyes lit up. "Who was it?!"

Amelia lacked confidence as she replied. "It's my husband."

"So, it was him!" Jonathan was surprised.

Amelia shot him a wry smile. "Uncle Tucker, you also think it's miraculous, don't you? The same man whose scandalous pictures that almost destroy me in the governmental hall actually settled this matter for me..."
