Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 590

"Here's the thing..." Ryker briefly explained that Amelia asked him to stay in order to correct the speech. Then he added, "The conversation between her and Jonathan didn't mean to avoid me but..." "But what?" Kaleb asked impatiently.

"She just said that there were some people behind my back. I don't know if she guessed that I am your follower."

"Impossible! She's not that capable! Both of us have always been contact with each other secretly. Even if she's going to suspect you, the first thing she's going to suspect that you're Daniel's man!" Ryker rolled his eyes and said, "Make sense... Jonathan always thinks that I'm one of Daniel's men."

"So, Amelia is very likely to be testing you! You must remember not to give yourself away otherwise you will be trapped by her!"

"I know!" Ryker smiled contemptuously. "I think she is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. If she is really sure that I am your man, how can she let me listen to the conversation between her and Jonathan? She probably thinks that I am Daniel's man. Daniel was in the police station at this time, so he can't do anything. That's why she let her guard down against me. She thinks that I'm on her side."

Kaleb agreed and said, "All you need to do is keep an eye on her, especially the details of her contact with Jonathan. You have to report to me in time. Once Daniel is gone, the Ramsay sisters will have less influences. Then Jonathan is the biggest enemy in this company!"

"Yes sir!"

In the office, Amelia, who was had just drove Jonathan and Ryker away, did not rest at all because she did not really have time to rest.

After Amelia took out a small fresh spray from her leather bag and sprayed it around, she closed her eyes and came to her senses. Then she opened the briefcase and took out piles of customers' information from it.

After Amelia checked the files, she found out that Daniel had loaned a total of 2.6 billion dollar from the bank in the name of Apex Construction Corporation. Then he signed a year contract to pay back all the loan and interest to the bank. If he could not pay off the debt before the due date, the Apex Construction Corporation that could not afford a huge debt could only declare bankrupt.

Among the 2.6 billion that Daniel had loaned from the bank, he had invested six hundred million dollar into the first phase housing project. However, all the phases of the houses project had failed to develop due to the collapsed of the first phase.

When she thought about it carefully, Daniel was telling some truth within his lies. The six hundred million that he borrowed from the bank was the money that he had already spent. However what was he going to do with the other two billion? Was he going to use the money to start again?

Humph! He was dreaming!

The remaining two billion dollar should be still in the company's account. This money should be used to rebuild the development side or to return it to the bank quickly. Amelia did not hesitate to choose the latter!

She could give up on the project. However she only had one company. It was really not worth it if she chose the project and ruined the company.

Amelia glanced at the customers' information in her hands. They were the customers who paid the downpayment in advance for the housing project. Now there was a problem with the project, so she had to refund the money to them.

One batch, two batch, three batch...

Amelia looked at every customer's down payment which starting price was from million and she had

headache thinking about them.

It just so happened that Daniel had sold most of the houses during the first phase. This meant that the finance department had to refund lots of money.

Beep beep...

As soon as the landline rang, Amelia pressed the hands-free key casually and answered, "Hello".

It was a call from the sales department. They informed her that some business deals that had been made many years ago had been canceled unilaterally by customers. Well. Bad things just kept happening!

Amelia frowned and asked, "Besides the land in the development side, there are also commercial residences in other places. How could they retreat so easily?"

The sales department staff replied, "The customers said that all the Apex Construction Corporation's main projects had failed so they couldn't trust other residential buildings's quality."

Amelia fell into silence.

"President Ramsay, we are worried that more people will come to ask for refunds."

"We can't stop them from asking refunds. Just remember to accept the disciplinary fees."

"Yes, madam."

After Amelia hung up the phone, she hastily called the financial department. She ordered them to select a date to return the two billion dollar loan to the bank. Then she asked for the customers' down payment as well as the compensation money for the casualties of employees.

When the finance department staffs heard that Amelia asking for so much money, they almost went crazy. "President Ramsay, two billion dollar is not a small amount of money! Are you sure you want to return all of it to the bank?"

Amelia said without hesitating, "Yes, I'm sure!"

The finance department staff suggested carefully, "President Ramsay, how about discussin it with the board of directors first?"

Amelia's pitying voice turned cold. "Just do what I say. I'll find a way to solve our company's short of funds problem!"

"Alright then," the finance department staff replied.

Amelia did not worry about whether the finance department staff would report this matter to the board of directors. If they dared to report it, she would ask them if they had any other better solutions except returning that two billion dollar. If they could find reasonable solution, then she would accept it. If they could not, then they have to follow

her order.

By that time, the people who would be worried would not be her, but those directors who cared about money as much as their own lives.

What was more, she had to pay back the six hundred million dollarthat was used by Daniel for the development project within a year otherwise the company would still be in a dangerous situation.

It was not difficult for her company to earn six hundred million dollar in a year. However, Apex Construction Corporation's reputation had been damaged lately, so many new and old customers had abandoned them. This made the situation difficult.

Tried looking for an investor and ask them to invest funds into the Apex Construction Corporation?

However who would want to be a fool to invest in something that would not get any profits!

Amelia who was laying on the chair, had a candidate came out in her mind...

How about Hobart who worked for Mills Skincare Products Corp. Ltd? No, cooperating with him was more like inviting troubles.

Let Milton's advertising company help to advertise her company? Restoring the Apex Construction Corporation's positive image? No, this did not solve the root of the problem!

When Amelia was at a loss of what to do, her cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

She picked it up and saw "Howard Hopper" on the screen. She was slightly surprised... Finally, she clicked the answer button. "Hello, dad?"

"Amelia, I've been chanting in the Buddha Hall for the past few days. As soon as I return home, I heard the servant say that something happened to my in law's company. Is it true?" Amelia breathed out a sigh of relief and answered, "Yes."

Howard continued to ask, "Is the company having problem in cash flow?"

"Yes," Amelia said uncomfortably.

"How about Patrick? Did he know about this?"

"He hasn't been back from outstation..."
