Chapter 585
Amelia could not understand him at all. "What good does it do to you for you to make such a request?"
Daniel merely flashed her a bitter smile, "I just want to stay with you for a little longer, that's all."
Amelia, however, thought he was messing with her again. "Daniel, if you still have any conscience, please
cooperate with me, don't just cup with plans againstand the company! Do you even know how badly
you've ruined dad's company? Lucky for you, you get to pass on your responsibility and haveclean up after
you!"
Faced with the onslaught of accusation from Amelia, Daniel could not help but muttered, "I would only get back
at you all because I've lost too much..."
Amelia's lips curled, and she said, "What does your loss have to do with Apex Construction Corporation? You
were still in your mother's womb when the company was founded!"
Daniel's face tightened. His father passed away in an accident during one of Apex Construction Corporation's
construction projects. He hoped this counted as having something to do with the company! Glancing at Amelia,
Daniel reminded himself that it was not the right tto show his cards yet. He should focus on how to make use
of Amelia and solve the problem with the development side! Parking the car at the entrance of the police station,
Amelia turned to face Daniel and put her hand out to him impatiently. 'Alright, I've already fetched you here. You
can hand it tonow." The corners of Daniel's mouth lifted. He did not look like someone who was on the verge
of being put behind bars at all. "What if | want you to givea kiss?"
Amelia was shocked marble-white as if she had just seen a ghost. "Gave you an inch, and you're taking a mile!
That's enough!"
"Someday, sooner or later, you'll crunning to me. | promise."
With that thoughtful drawl, Daniel moved his hands away from his knees and indicated to Amelia, "Take them
yourself."
Amelia yanked the briefcase from his thighs and unzipped it. After confirming that there was no problem with the
contents inside, she looked back up to dismiss him. "If possible, | hope | won't see you ever again, let alone for
At Land of Fragrance.
"You're back. Hurry up and take the medicine!"
The familiar and unpleasant smell of the medicine wafted towards Amelia the second she stepped through the
door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at the eager Dr. Scarlett, Amelia instead put on a face of exhaustion. She took off her high heels and
said, "Put it aside for a while, I'll drink it later."
Dr. Scarlett advised, "The medicine will be cold then, and its effect will be reduced by half. Aren't you in a hurry
to nurse your body so that you can have a baby with Mr. Patrick?"
Amelia thought for a moment. Then she said somberly, "Dr. Scarlett, I'm not in such a hurry to get pregnant
anymore. Please stop givingthe medicine for the tbeing."
Dr. Scarlett was taken by surprise. Amelia did not give her a chance to respond and went straight to the kennel
on the balcony.
Ever since Rick was kicked by Eve, he never returned to being as active as before. Also, the weather in Northville
had not been warm for a long time. Amelia also did not dare to disturb him as he stayed in his bed for the
majority of the day.
Squatting down in front of the kennel, Amelia tilted her head and looked at the little thing curling up in
his nest of a bed...
He seemed to have sensed Amelia's presence and wiggled his tiny nose. Rick then slowly opened his eyes and
looked at her.
Amelia's gaze softened as she called out softly, "Rick."
"Woof! Woof!" Rick, who had just woken up, emerged from the kennel, shaking his head and circled Amelia. From
tto time, he would nudge his head against her as if he was silently asking for a hug. Amelia carried him into
her embrace to his wish. While petting Rick, Amelia then said, "I really have to find a tto take you out to
exercise soon. Look at you, you're so fat now."
Rick let out a sad whine, as if he was disagreeing with Amelia.
"Madam."
Hearing the male voice behind her, Amelia realized that Huxton was back.
She gently put Rick back into his bed, then stood up from the ground and turned around. "How's it going with the
task | gave you?"
Huxton said, "Brittany isn't willing to leave. She said she wants to wait for Daniel at home. And if she doesn't’
want to leave, Alice won't go either."
Amelia scowled. "Didn't | say that if there's anybody who doesn't want to cooperate, you can take them by
force?"
"Brittany is pregnant, so we dare not handle her rashly. What if something happens?"
Drawing her brows together, Amelia agreed, "Alright, that makes sense."
"But don't worry, madam. I've already sent more men to guard the area near the Ramsay residence. If there's
any movement, you will know right away." "Very well, you've covered all bases."
Huxton then continued, "Madam, up till now, the number of casualties at the development side has gone up to
eleven people. Twenty-people people are seriously injured and countless are suffering minor injuries. I'm afraid
it's not wise of you to handle Apex Construction Corporation during this time."
Amelia looked at him curiously. "How did you know that | have taken over my father's company?"
As she recalled, Huxton had been away from her all day.
Huxton fell silent for a while. Then, he
suddenly reached out to touch the

Upon seeing the black grain-sized thing pinched
between his fingers, Amelia was confused. She asked, "What's this?"
Huxton explained, "It's a tracking and listening device."
Amelia felt a chill down her spine. "You bugged me? Did you have my permission?"
"Madam, if I've done it with your permission, it's no longer called a listening bug."

She did not think she needed to be monitored to this extent!
Watching Amelia still feeling her neck up and down, Huxton assured her, "You don't have to look for anything
anymore, there's no other advanced device on you now."
Amelia stopped searching reluctantly and said with a hollow chuckle, "Am | supposed to thank you?"

If he did, wouldn't he have seen her in the toilet and when she took off her clothes in the shower? Under her
unbearable gaze, Huxton lowered his head and said, "No."
Even if he had ten more lives, he would not dare to peek at his master's wife.
