Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 581

For the two police officers, twenty-four hours was the limit that they could accept! Upon hearing this, Amelia involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much!"

After personally seeing the two policemen away, Amelia heard Daniel said meaningfully, "You sure know how to make the best possible use out of everything."

Understanding his implication, Amelia did not feel ashamed at all. "Don't talk nonsense! If it weren't for the fact that you still hold some value, I would have asked the policemen to bring you to their station for execution!"

Daniel suddenly laughed, "If I'm dead, won't Brittany and the baby in her belly become a widow and an orphan?"

Amelia sneered and said, "If you think I'll sympathize with you just because of that, you're wrong. I want you to find out all the information about the development before sunset tomorrow and give it to me, and it's your own business that whatever punishment you receive!"

Daniel narrowed his eyes. "You're so heartless, aren't you afraid that I won't give you the information?"

"Let me make this clear for you. You're about to be held captive, so you don't have the right to negotiate with me!" Amelia fixated her stare at him. "If you don't give it to me, I'll have someone knock you out and leave you on the outskirts of the development side. I'll then get those dead and injured employees' families to have a nice chat with you personally. How about that?"

Daniel's expression changed upon hearing this. If Amelia really did this, then she might as well have sent him to the police station.

Noticing the panic on his face, Amelia was secretly satisfied. "Also, don't try to pull any tricks on me. If Apex Construction Corporation fails because of this matter, it won't affect me. After all, I have The Hopper Family as my backer. However, you, Brittany, and your unborn child will be in huge debt and may even live a destitute life because of this. That's all I have to say. Think about it yourself. Do you want to redeem yourself, or do you want to make another mistake?"

Daniel closed his eyes and opened them after a few seconds. "When are we going back to the company?"

Amelia raised her beautiful eyebrows and said,

"Right now."

On the second floor.

Hearing the knock on the door, Huxton cracked the door open slightly. When he saw that it was Amelia through the narrow gap, he swung the door back and invited her. Amelia did not enter and only asked, "Where's Aunt Alice?"

Huxton explained slowly, "She kept wanting to go downstairs, so I knocked her out."

Amelia panicked a little, hoping that Alice would not blame her after she woke up.

"Madam, who was it?" Huxton continued to ask.

Amelia said, "It's the police. They said they wanted to take Daniel away. I can only ask them to delay for a day because the company still needs him." Huxton nodded.

Amelia added worriedly, "I'm afraid there'll be more trouble coming our way."

Huxton glanced at her. "Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

An idea came to Amelia, and she suddenly asked, "Do you have a pen and paper with you?"

"Yes." Huxton took out a fountain pen from the inside of his suit and a piece of tissue paper from

his trouser pocket, then handed them to Amelia.

Amelia removed the lid of the pen. When the tip of the pen made contact with the tissue, the paper was torn through.

Seeing this, she held and raised Huxton's enormous palm. Under his stiffened expression, she said without looking up, "Don't be so nervous. I won't do anything to you. Relax."

"Madam, what are you doing?" Huxton looked down to find Amelia writing in his hand with the pen, so he could not help but ask in curiosity.

"All done!" Amelia, who had finished the last stroke, released Huxton's hand and explained, "You first send Alice and Brittany to this location so that they can lie low first." Huxton stared at the scrawled map in his palm and asked, "Where is this?"

Amelia said, "My mother's dowry for my marriage, an old mansion. I haven't been back for many years. I don't know why but I get sick whenever I go there. Eventually, as time went by, I don't really want to go there anymore."

When Huxton put down his hand, he asked, "Madam, when will you tell Mr. Hopper about this?"

Hearing him, Amelia's attractive face froze a little, "Maybe tonight. I'm going to bring Daniel back to the company now."

At Apex Construction Corporation.

As soon as Daniel had landed himself into trouble, the board of directors immediately felt imperiled. After all, they were all in collusion with Daniel to some extent. They would receive dividends once the project in the development side was completed. But if something went awry, they would just push the blame!

When Amelia arrived, she immediately asked Daniel to hold a board meeting in his name. It was quite a comical scene to see a group of middle-aged men arguing till their face turned crimson.

If they had known it would come to this, then why did they do it in the first place?

Watching the chaotic sight before him, Daniel raised his voice and yelled, "Everyone, be quiet!"

Hearing Daniel raising the volume of his voice, the directors, with Kaleb as their leader, immediately turned against Daniel and pushed all the blame on him. He was scolded for secretly changing the resources. which caused such a detrimental effect on the company. And also for his actions of deceiving everybody.

Daniel had expected someone to turn back against him midway through, but he was not enraged, nor did he get back at anyone. Instead, he stood up and bowed to the crowd, saying sincerely, "To all directors the responsibility for this matter falls entirely on me. I've ruined the reputation of the company and dragged down your image. It's all my fault. No matter how you blame me, I'll accept the fault."

Amelia, who was watching at the side, yawned. Even on his deathbed, Daniel still did not forget to have public relation.

Regardless of whether Daniel's apology was genuine or hollow, just his attitude had made it difficult for the board of directors to critic anything more.

Because if they were to say that they wanted to get to the bottom of this, none of them would be innocent themselves. And if they drove Daniel into a corner, none of them would be able to escape too. Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Daniel added, "Right now, our company is in urgent need of someone talented, who holds the company shares, and has the professional knowledge and morale. Also best to has a close relationship with The Ramsay Family to oversee the company on my behalf. Who does the board of directors think is the most suitable candidate?"

Glancing at the people in his vision field that all had different expressions on, Daniel said with a strange

smile, "Is there anyone volunteer?"

Everyone's attention fell on the young Amelia at once. Their meaning was almost self-evident.

In their opinion, 'talent' and 'morale' were not the most important qualities. On the contrary, they hoped that the person who took over the company was mediocrity, and it was even better if they were an incompetent lame duck. The two daughters of the Ramsay Family obviously aligned with their standards.

But after hearing Kaleb said that it was inhumane to let Britanny, a pregnant woman, to take over the company, there was only one choice left. They were left with Amelia, who was sitting right in front of them. As it was the sensitive period at the moment, in case of any emergency, they could most likely puppeteer Amelia to help them get over this rough patch.

Once the situation had settled down, they would find an excuse to kick her out of Apex Construction Corporation. Even if Amelia was Patrick's wife, the internal affairs of Apex Construction Corporation would never fall under Roxxon's orders!
