Chapter 46
The man opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a call "Amelia" behind her.
The man who spoke to Amelia raised his chin and looked at Daniel and said, "Hey, isn't this the fiance? He left his fiancee alone and comes to chat with other woman?"
When Amelia figured out Daniel's voice, the pain quickly flashed through her eyes and she calmed herself down in a second. When she looked back at Daniel, she was indifferent.
Smiling slightly to the man beside Amelia, the fiance said, "Joshua, this is my fiancee's elder sister. I think I've the right to talk to her, right?"
Joshua sneered and looked at Amelia with regret. In the end, he didn't want to break up the relationship with Daniel, so he turned to other ladies.
In the corner, only Amelia and Daniel were left there.
"Amelia, I heard you're married?" This was the first sentence Daniel said to Amelia.
Seeing Amelia not answering, Daniel said to himself, "The Hopper is the richest family in Northville. Patrick's grandfather once worked as a national politician and Patrick had officially taken over Roxxon. If you marry him, you will be rich in the future with all the glory and wealth..."
Facing high- hat Daniel, Amelia interrupted with a sneer, "A luxurious life, being rich with glory and wealth are all my business, not yours."
Pushing the gold- rimmed glasses on his nose, Daniel said, "Your business? You are originally from the Ramsay and I will be the son- in- law of the Ramsay. Do you think it's not my business?"
Amelia smiled and said, "Then it seems that you misunderstood. In my heart, Brittany is never qualified to be the younger daughter of the Ramsay Family. Her mother and you... have nothing to do with the Ramsay!"
"You can't say whether it's my business. You know what this engagement means? From now on, I'll take off at Apex and I will perform well. Then together with Brittany's shares, I will soon become a Director, haha."
Amelia felt disappointed with Daniel's words. All the years when they were in the relationship, she really underestimated Daniel's ambition for wealth. She used to think that he was honest and could be trusted and relied on. How could she know he eyed on the wealth and status covetously!
"Daniel, I haven't asked you. I have everything Brittany has. Why did you choose her instead of me?"
"My dear, you are too dull. You know Brittany makes me happy." Daniel’s tone was filled with regret, "The most important thing is that I especially hate your being scrupulous in separating public interests from the private ones. Actually, every time we dined out, and when you requested us to go Dutch, your eyes were full of sympathy, which really made me feel like vomiting. I am not a beggar and you don’t need to be so pitiful for me!”
It was not until Daniel left with his wine cup that Amelia finally came to consciousness with a faint smile. How could she imagine her taking very good care of Daniel would one day become an excuse for him to fight her back?
Amelia's disappointed look was seen by Brittany, who was surrounded by her friends. Brittany walked to her arrogantly.
Two of Brittany's good friends were by her side.
Standing still and deliberately looked around, Brittany asked curiously, "My dear sister, my brother- in-law didn't come with you?"
Mamie smiled and said, "My dear, she is the sister who was kicked out by you? Hahaha really?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Amelia glanced at her and said, "My dear, I think you are crazy."
When was she kicked out? It was obvious that Brittany was gossiping in front of others.
Mamie looked at Amelia and asked, "Old woman, don't you remember me?"
Definitely yes. She was asking for Ryan's private number but was finally scolded and "kicked out" by Nora.
Amelia asked, "Are you Brittany's friends?"
Mamie lifted felt so proud and said, "That's right. We lived in the same dormitory with Brittany. I heard that she has an elder sister and finally we meet you! Old woman, please take more care of yourself. You see, the wrinkles on your forehead!"
The other girl said with a scornful tone, "Look at her. She came here alone without even a male companion. Maybe no one wants her!"
The two girls were pretty mean. Obviously, they hated what had happened in the beauty salon in the afternoon.
Instead of feeling angry, Amelia smiled and said, "There is an old saying goes like... oh, 'birds of a feather flock together'..."
The smile on Brittany's face froze and she asked, "Sister, what do you mean?"
Amelia smirked and said, "Don't call me sister. I wasn't born by your low-priced mother. She is the old coquette and you are the baby coquette. You were not a human being since when you were in your mom's womb. How can you be compared with me?"
Mamie couldn't hold back and said, "My dear, don't talk nonsense with her. I wanted to teach her a lesson early in the afternoon!"
Mamie was used to taking advantage of her family's power and influence, so she raised her hand and wanted to slap Amelia's face.
In an instant, a sudden male voice interrupted the domineering situation, "Hey, whose diamond ring is this?"
When Mamie looked back and saw the man's appearance clearly, the fire in her eyes suddenly turned into amazing and she quickly put down her raised hand.
The man bent down and picked up the ring on the ground, blowing off the dust. Under the light, the ring was shining with a sapphire.
The man held the ring and asked Mamie, "Miss, is this yours?"
Being stunned for a while, Mamie reached her hand out but before touching the man's palm, the ring was withdrawn. The man said, "You hesitated for this long? It seems that it's not yours"
Mamie was very embarrassed as her raised hand was in the air.
The next second, the man turned to the other girl and spread out his hand, asking, "Yours?"
The gorgeous ring seemed to be waving to the girl who came from an ordinary family and the girl nodded infatuatedly and said, "Yes, it's mine!"
Brittany felt embarrassed by her wealth- oriented friends.
The man shook his head and said, "But I don't think you are."
The two girls had not realised that they had been fooled, asking like a fangirl, "Sir, who do you think it belongs to?"
"It's yours." The man suddenly turned around and took the right hand of Amelia, who was watching all what happened. He put the ring on her fourth finger, which matched well with the ring on his fourth finger.
Brittany and her two friends wanted to hide themselves from the crowd.
The man leaned over and kissed Amelia's beautiful fingers and asked gently, "Mrs. Hopper, am I late?"
Amelia answered with shyness and timidity, "No, you came at the right time. Brittany was asking where her brother-in-law was." "Oh, really?" Patrick hugged Amelia on her waist and his chin was laid on Amelia's soft and fragrant hair. He looked down at Brittany and others and said, "Sorry, Brittany, I'm late. I was so busy at work that I forgot the time for your engagement banquet. Mrs. Hopper, please forgive me."
Patrick's explanation immediately brought Brittany and Daniel shame on themselves, whose engagement was well organised. The banquet was not even comparable to official business in Patrick's mind, so how he despised them and their banquet?
