Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 123

The car stopped outside the Julian Hotel. Amelia sat next to the car door and got off first.

The surrounding was empty. Except for the waiters, very few people came in and out.

Because the Hopper Family should arrive one hour earlier than other guests as the host.

What's more, because of Owen's special and dangerous profession, he didn't want to expose his son and daughter's appearances to the public. All the reporters were driven away by the security guards.

Things were much easier in this way. Amelia liked to keep a low profile.

Patrick, Paisley, and Eve got off the car one by one. Eve said, "Patrick, take Paisley and her to the lounge first."

Paisley and her?

Amelia sneered in her heart. She and Patrick were secretly married. If it weren't for the family interests, Eve would have driven her out of the Hopper Family.

She didn't want to stay here any longer. She went through the red carpet alone and walked to the stairs of the hotel.

She felt sad and painful in her heart in every step.

An hour later—

A soft music sounded in the magnificent hall. Many famous and rich people came one after another. The atmosphere soon became lively.

As the leading role, Patrick was usually very busy in such a situation. He needed to greet and talk to those guests.

However, the woman beside him was Paisley.

Amelia held a wine glass and leaned against the window alone. Her eyes were lazy and lonely. She looked like an outsider.

"Beauty, are you alone?"

Just when Amelia was bored, a lily appeared in front of her with a low and attractive voice.

Amelia recognized the voice at once. She touched the thin petal of the lily in front of her leisurely and looked at Hobart, "For a generous man like you, a lily seems too skimpy."

Hobart, who was wearing a blue suit, stood next to her and said, "Don't mind. I picked it in the back garden."

"I don't mind." Amelia took it. She lowered her head and sniffed, "It smells good."

When she raised her head again, Hobart was bowing to her and saying with a smile, "In return, would you like to dance with me?"

Amelia seemed to be uninterested, "No, I want to stay alone."

Hobart smiled and said, "Why?"

"Because of me!" A cold voice sounded. Hobart's hand, which was about to touch Amelia's chest, was slapped away.

Hobart rubbed his hand and glared at the man, "Who the f**k are you?"

Amelia happily smiled at the man. Her smile was purer and more charming than the lily in her hand, "Milton, are you here too?"

Milton stood in front of Amelia and blocked Hobart. He stared at Hobart with sharp eyes and said, "Do you want to date with Amelia with a flower? You'd better go away."

Hearing his words, Hobart felt that Milton seemed to have a good relationship with Amelia. He immediately smiled and said, "You misunderstand me. I'm Miss Amelia's friend..."

"Who are you?" Milton continued, "All of Amelia's friends have been checked by me. What kind of b*stard are you?"

D*mn it! How dare Milton call him a b*stard!

Hobart got so angry that he wanted to fight with Milton, but when he saw Amelia's beautiful face, he gave up this idea. He couldn't make her have a bad impression of him anymore.

Hobart reached out his hand stiffly and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm in charge of Mills Skincare Products Corp. Ltd."

Milton turned his head and ignored Hobart deliberately, "Mills? I've never heard of that."

Hobart was speechless.

While Milton and Hobart were quarreling, Patrick saw this and his face darkened.

He turned to Paisley and said, "I'm going to make a phone call."

Paisley made an "OK" gesture and helped Patrick stop the guest who came to greet him.

Patrick quickly dialed the secretary's number. As soon as the call was connected, he scolded, "Who asked you to send invitations to Milton and Hobart?"

The secretary explained with a trembling voice, "Mr. Hopper, you said that we should invite all the young and rich people in Northville a few days ago."

Patrick was stunned. How could he forget about this?

Eve asked him to send out invitations, but he was busy, so he asked his secretary to do it.

He always trusted the secretary's ability. However, himself made a mistake and invited Milton and Hobart by accident. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

After hanging up the phone, Patrick frowned. The reason why he asked the secretary to invite all the young and rich people was that he hoped Florence could choose a boyfriend among them.

There were so many young and handsome guys at the banquet. However, where was Florence!

When Patrick looked back again, he found that Amelia had disappeared, only Milton and Hobart were there.

He became more annoyed. Since Amelia was so beautiful, he was really worried about her. At least Milton and Hobart could protect her if she stayed with them.

At this time, Amelia was stopped at the door of the bathroom.

Amelia looked at Maryanne and nodded slightly,

"Miss Maryanne, good evening."

Maryanne glanced at Amelia's dress with jealousy and hatred. She was unhappy because Amelia looked more beautiful than her.

Because she was unhappy, she said maliciously, "How could the security guard let a person like you in?"

Amelia did not want to argue with Maryanne, so she said politely, "Miss Maryanne Smith, please step aside. I want to go in and wash my hands."

Amelia's calm attitude made Maryanne even angrier, "You're so funny. Who are you? Why should I step aside for you?"

Amelia remained polite and said, "Then I'll let you go in first. Is that okay?"

Maryanne still didn't get out the way.

She looked Amelia up and down, then noticed the ring necklace on Amelia's chest. She laughed mockingly and said, "Is the ring on your neck sent by a poor man?"

As Maryanne said this, she was about to touch the ring.

Amelia avoided her hand and said with a cold face, "Miss Maryanne, don't be rude. Didn't your brother teach you to be polite?"
