Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 582

If Daniel needed to bear criminal responsibility, then it would be the cherry on top.

Once this group of youth from the Ramsay Family was finished, the power of The Ramsay Family would then

undoubtedly fall into the hands of the elders!

Every cloud has a silver lining. Before the company announced bankruptcy, weren't they pleased by just thinking

about how the company was going to delegate the remaining profits?

The crowd looked at Amelia fondly, as if they were looking at a juicy, tasty prey, and sof them had already

begun to think about which part they should devour first.

Seeing that the directors had all their intention set on Amelia, the determined smile on Daniel's face froze!

This was very different from the result he was anticipating! The person whom he was looking to recommend was

Brittany.

Daniel decided that the best defense was an offense. And so he said, "Since no one has any ideas, why don't |

give a piece of my mind? How about we elect Brittany as the temporary chairperson of the board?"

Because if Brittany becthe acting chairperson, only then Apex Construction Corporation would fall back to

Daniel's hands one day. The plan that Daniel had devised was calculated flawlessly.

But how could the wise, old directors not think of this? This only made them more determined to help Amelia

ascend to the position. Because only by making use of the emotional entanglements between Amelia, Brittany,

and Daniel would they be able to stick to the end without taking any personal risks.

Kaleb made a show of earnestness and shook his head. He said, "I don't think so. Brittany is still young and lacks

of experience dealing with people. If she manages the company during a peaceful period of prosperity, it

wouldn't be too big of a problem as many of us elderly would be able to help her handle it. However, the

company is currently in turmoil. We're worried that Brittany wouldn't be able to manage it. In the end, we're

afraid that she'll end up dragging herself down."

Daniel's expression shifted slightly. "So that is to say everyone here has no good expectations about her at all?"

Kaleb waved his hand. "That's not what we meant.

It's just obvious that Brittany is still new to society. Plus, she's pregnant. Oh, right, | have also heard that she has

taken a leave from school until her birth? So we think that...rather than taking over the company, she should

stay hand take good care of the baby at hwith peace of mind. Then she should complete the rest of her

studies afterwards."

Director A agreed, "That's right..."

Director B added, "Kaleb is being reasonable."

Director C then said, "Who we need now is an heir with real talent and not a young girl who still needs to be

taken care of."

Daniel's grip on the edge of the table tightened. This group of directors were obviously well prepared for this

situation. With the excuse of having his and the company's best intentions in mind, every word they said had the

purpose to diminish his power at the company!

Amelia's thoughts gradually becclearer as she listened to their discourse. Although Daniel had temporarily

taken charge of Apex Construction Corporation in place of her father, the board of directors were not convinced

completely. In fact, there was even a hint that they were deliberately going against Daniel.

From this, it could be seen that they had only taken fancy to Daniel because the project under Daniel's charge

could bring them great benefits. Now that the project was in trouble, they immediately regarded him as a

forsaken pawn and were in a hurry to find another puppet for the next stand-in chairperson. They were utterly

disregarding Daniel's feelings.

As for the elders of these companies, why didn't they fight for the position of the chairperson for themselves?

That was because they would then be subjecting themselves to public opinion, media, and also to the families of

the victims of the incident. Anyone who took up the position would no doubt be under tremendous pressure.

They were not stupid!

Amelia, who was used to the harmonious and friendly atmosphere of her work department, found it somewhat

difficult to adapt to this conniving environment.

To tell the truth, she hoped that Patrick could appear by her side right at this moment. She would at least have

semotional support.

But right this moment, he must be busy accompanying his sweetheart...

Amelia, who was slightly absent-minded, heard someone mentioned her nthe next second. With a confused

gaze in her eyes, she subconsciously responded, "Huh?".

In the eyes of the directors, she was looking even more like a naive and harmless prey!

The directors were all pondering whether they could milk sbenefits from this weak prey, such as using her

to get Patrick to fork out sfinances and help the company to get through this obstacle? Unable to resist their

eagerness, the directors began to persuade Daniel, "Mr. Phillips, we think Ms.

Amelia fits the qualifications you've stated. Look, she has landed herself as one of the executives of Roxxon at

such a young age and even holds twenty per cent of the shares left to her by her mother. The most important

thing is that she's directly related to The Ramsay Family and the elder sister of you and Ms. Brittany. There would

be no one more qualified than her to take the position of the acting chairperson."

The directors nodded one after another.

Daniel's displeased gaze immediately shot towards Amelia as if she was a cunning woman who was plotting up

splans in her mind.

The corners of Amelia's lips twitched. She had never been interested in being the 'acting chairperson’ from the

very start. Otherwise, she would have resigned from Roxxon a long tago and cto Apex Construction

Corporation to compete with Daniel for the position.

"Why are you staring at me? You're the incompetent one!" Amelia did not bother to be ceremonious and glared

back at him.

Daniel snorted coldly.

Their reactions further solidified the

rumors about them not being on

good terms. Kaleb Qrsdereyil

Sure, sure." The rest agreed with

Seeing this, Daniel plopped down on the big executive chair. Rendered powerless, he closed his eyes.

He wanted to turn on this group of board members who only regarded him with their personal interests, but what

would happen after that?

There would be no place for him in Apex Construction Corporation in the future. And even if he cback, he

would not get any support. For the sake of the situation, he had to endure and wait for the right tto take

back everything he had lost!

Daniel, who had made up his mind,

opened his eyes and announced in a

But on second thought, Daniel was like a toothless tiger without the support from the company's directors. Why

was she afraid of him?

The results of the vote cout. Amelia becthe acting chairperson with almost no effort. If other

companies heard about this, they would laugh their heads off.

Look at how casual the voting process was.

Other than being the eldest daughter of The Ramsay Family and the fact that she held twenty per cent of the

shares, Amelia's experience in the construction field was blank. It was a joke to let someone like Amelia be an

acting chairperson!

Amelia was also aware of this. So,

The directors answered with a fake smile, "Of course."
