Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 23

Amelia glanced at the table and found everyone had a stack of notes of $10 beside their hands as gamble fund except the mahjong tiles scattered out of order.

With a second of hesitation, she took out the cash from her wallet, which was the remains of her last month's salary, and put it in an empty seat.

A bright idea came to Eve - let her second daughter-in- law understand how authoritative she is by playing mahjong!

Possibly due to her bad luck, Amelia lost three times in a row.

In the fourth round, Eve increased the wager, assuming that once Amelia lost again, her wallet would be empty.

Therefore, the mother-in-law could not wait to see Amelia obedient to drive a BMW X1.

Seeing her mother- in- law's sinister smile, Amelia whispered, "Mom, I have my transport means which will be parked outside there, which could make my commuting easy, is that okay?"

Without knowing what the means is, Eve approved, "It's a piece of cake. Sort it out yourself."

Amelia added, "It's an electro motorbike, Mom."

"..." Eve was stunned.

What did it mean for the daughter- in- law of the grand Hopper Family go to work on a worn- out motorcycle? Others might criticise the Family treated her bad!

"No way, our family can't afford to lose face!"

"Ask Patrick to buy you a BMW XI. It's small and a good match with you young girls."

Amelia replied indifferently, "I appreciate your kindness, mom. But let me keep what I have please."

Eve knew very well that Amelia had a stubborn temper. If she confronted her toughly with toughness, she would only be more treacherous. So she decided to persuade her with wisdom and ordered, "Let's change the rule. Let's bet a car in the next round."

Florence got excited, "How?"

Eve asked her daughter to shut up and stared at her daughter-in-law, "If you lose to any of us, you are supposed to hand in your motorbike. If you win... Ah, I think you won't win."

"If I win, I will keep the ownership of my Little Sheep, right?" Amelia asked.

Thinking Amelia's bad luck and skills in mahjong, Eve was confident and agreed, "Correct." She was 200% sure that she would fail.

One minute later...

"I claimed this tile! To match a triplet! I win!" Amelia showed her empty hands and touched her chin with a smile. "Seems my good luck is back! Thank you, Mom."

Florence and Nora were so shocked that their eyes were about to pop out. "What a masterkiller you are!"

"Holy S**t! Alright, let me pay you." Florence gave Amelia the lost gamble fund with a sigh and Nora did the same.

The mother-in-law's heart was beating violently. She finally understood Amelia lost the previous games as a way to please her.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She wanted to break the deal, but she was would never fail to live up to her promise in front of the juniors. In the end, she could only allow this clever daughter- in- law to ride the horrible electro motorbike, which might be a shame for the Family.

Amelia counted the cash with satisfaction. The mahjong game was nothing to her. In her spare time, she would play QQ games online and battle with friends.

Time flies. It was the end of the month.

As the director of the sales department, it was the most important for her to win the commission by the orders.

At this time, her assistant Doris came to her, telling that a big boss from north of the country intended to purchase a large deal of office- use sports equipment.

But this boss was very harsh. The sales representative tried to negotiate several times, but was rejected with the reason of low priceperformance ratio.

The assistant asked tentatively, "Amelia, have a try?"

"Doris, let me know the schedule of this boss."
