Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 588

Amelia rolled her eyes, "Have you ever heard of workplace negligence? Did you think Daniel bears no

responsibility when his employees were killed at work?"

Brittany argued, "Daniel didn't do it on purpose!

Cto think of it, the building might not have even collapsed if the workers had paid more attention when they

were constructing it!"

Amelia did not want to waste her breath on her. "I don't know about that, so wait for the result from the experts.

But no matter how it turns out, Daniel still has a part in this. So you'd better be more rational." Brittany roared,

"How am | supposed to be rational? He's my husband!"

Amelia was already upset enough before talking to her. Brittany should not have called her at a tlike this.

"Yes! He's your husband, but not mine! It's useless yelling at me!"

Amelia's sudden outburst of anger silenced Brittany.

After a while...

"Sis, isn't Patrick your husband? I'm begging you, can you please think of a way to help Daniel? | don't want him

to go to jail!"

Amelia cringed at the sound of being called 'sis' and was not touched by the endearing address at all. Instead,

she just felt that Brittany must love Daniel very much to speak to her so humbly. Amelia pursed her lips and said,

"The law decides if he goes to jail or not, not me."

Brittany got agitated and exclaimed, "What about Patrick? He's so powerful, he must be able to do something

about it!"

Amelia was silenced.

"Sis! | apologize for what I did in the past! As long as you and Patrick helpsave Daniel, I'll kneel and

apologize in front of you! Or... I'll do whatever you wantto!"

Amelia was still not giving any response.

Brittany muttered between sobs, "Sis, can you say something? | beg you! | don't want my child to be born

without a father!"

Amelia pitied the baby in Brittany's belly and said, "This is not as simple as you think..."

Brittany added quickly, "I know, sis! Things like this usually have to be settled with money, and my mother has

it! She had accumulated a lot of savings over the years and | can ask her to pass it to you, as long as you bail

Daniel out! Tellthe amount and I'll gather the funds for you. If it's not enough, dad's

safe..."

Amelia's voice turned icy. "Brittany! If you dare to think about touching dad's safe, | won't spare you!"

"I'm left with no choice..."

The desperation in Brittany's voice was almost leaking out of Amelia's phone. Brittany was only resorting to

asking for help from Amelia because she had no other way.

Amelia felt an oncoming headache and said, "I can barely look out for myself anymore, how am | supposed to

help Daniel?"

Brittany asked in a trembling voice, "What about Patrick?"

Amelia narrowed her eyes. "He's not in Northville. | can't get in touch with him now either."

Brittany blurted out, "You're lying!"

Amelia explained, "I'm not. If you don't believe me, turn on the news and see for yourself if Patrick is helping in

the countryside."

Brittany asked, "So you're saying you're not going to help me, are you?"

Amelia kept quiet. Daniel had always been a chip on her shoulder, and it would be great if she could make use of

the circumstance and get rid of him.

Brittany obtained her answer from Amelia's lack of response. Brittany was ready to risk everything and warned

Amelia, "If you don't help me, then I'll take the money to the chief of the police station myself. There's nothing

that can't be solved with money in this world!"

Before Amelia could stop her, Brittany had already hung up the phone in a fit of anger.

Amelia massaged between her furrowed eyebrows. Then, she was reminded of somebody. She quickly flipped

through her contact to find the man's number and called him.

Moments later...

"Hey, Huxton, it's me! Brittany may sneak out these few days, so please keep an eye on her. There must be

many reporters outside of the Ramsay mansion now. If it's exposed that Brittany is trying to bribe the chief

officer, we won't be able to save Apex Construction Corporation's reputation!"

In the general manager's office.

Since Daniel had left, Amelia asked for the office to be tidied up. And after that, she settled into Daniel's former

office out of convenience.

The person who helped Amelia clean up was Ryker Scott. He introduced himself as Daniel's assistant.

Amelia was just in need of a person who understood the daily work routine of the acting chairperson, so she let

him stay.

Of course, Ryker had no objection to this. In fact, he was actually a little relieved.

Generally speaking, whenever a new

leader took over the company, the

company would unge@y acémblete

should be the first person that Amelia

should drive away since he was one

Leaning back in the executive office chair, Amelia cast a glance at Ryker, who seemed to be absorbed in his own

thoughts. He looked to be in his thirties, tall, thin, and elegant. "Are you Ryker Scott?" Ryker nodded.

Amelia then asked, "How many years have you been with Daniel?"

Ryker pondered for a moment. "Not too long, only two years."

"Oh..." replied Amelia. "That is to say, you were his assistant ever since he becthe manager?"

Ryker responded, "Even though that's true, we had always kept a professional subordinate relationship. All | did

was just to obey Mr. Phillips's decisions..."

It seemed that everybody would kick a man who was down after all.

Noticing the eagerness to dissociate himself from

Daniel, Amelia merely smiled and

Ryker hesitated as if he were thinking about whether he should tell Amelia and how much he should disclose.

Amelia only smiled faintly. "I'm now the acting chair of the company, so | have to know everything. Or do you

think you and your small gang can save the company?"

Ryker was shocked. How did Amelia know that he had people with him?
