NovelEnglishChapter 878
"But later | was thinking, Amelia is innocent after all. She might not even know anything about the three of you!
All she wants is to help her father's construction company!
Cousin, do you know why she mentioned your nat that meeting room? That's because she was doubted by
those in the meeting when she first called out Patrick's name! Someone first brought up the rumors of Patrick
having affair.
It was like casting a stone across water to make many ripples. More and more competing companies began to
argue that their marriage was at stake. They even said that Patrick was going to withdraw his investment in Apex
Construction Corporation at any twhich might lead to the planning project being put on halt.
This suggests that Amelia was not any special to Patrick. Such a woman is completely useless for us. There is no
way that we are going to make Patrick suffering by using her!"
Seeing Kaiden's aggressive reaction and tone as he spoke, a strange feeling began to creep on Sawyer.
Kaiden had never fancied any women before. Sawyer wondered if he had ever noticed that his
attitude towards Amelia had changed.
If this was the case, Sawyer was convinced that Amelia was in fact a capable person who managed to let Kaiden
make an exception for her without him realizing at all.
Pulling himself from the thought, Sawyer replied calmly, "Can. If you wish to stop now, I'll respect your decision."
With great surprise, Kaiden wanted to confirm that he had not misheard, "Is that real, cousin?"
Nodding, Sawyer said, "If you don't believe me, later I'll bring up this matter on my own to Ms. Amelia. She will
be notified that I've changed my mind."
Hearing this, Kaiden hurriedly said, "No! You can't do this!"
Sawyer stared at him in confusion.
Kaiden was feeling embarrassed upon being stared by his cousin. After all, he was the one who started the
game. Yet it was him too that wanted to put an end to this game. He wondered if his cousin would think that he
had made a fool of him.
"Cousin, take it as a favor I'm asking personally from you. Can you help Apex Construction Corporation? You're
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe only person that can help her now."
Sawyer fell into momentary silence. Under the nervous stare he received from Kaiden, he muttered
softly, "Yes."
Instantly, Kaiden put on a bright smile on his face and exclaimed, "Cousin, you're so supportive!"
Sawyer shrugged as if he had no other choice but to agree with Kaiden's plea. He said, "Fine, since now we've
already reached mutual agreement. Don't you think you should go get our special guest back now?"
Upon being reminded, Kaiden cto realization, "Oh yeah! How can I forget this? I'm going to get her now. Oh
by the way, can you get rid of these brain plasma and the dead monkey from the table? | lose al my appetite
seeing them!"
With his expression calm, Sawyer made an order to the chef who was standing by the table all this while, "Get rid
of them now."
Kaiden found Amelia right outside the mansion. All he could see was that she was leaning against a tree while
murmuring to herself with her expression terrified still. Kaiden cto her back on purpose. Shortening the
distance between the two of them, he could hear her murmuring, "I don't mean to scare you. Don't be scared."
He wondered who was she murmuring to.
Kaiden could not help looking around just to confirm that there was no one around.
He was afraid that she might get so much shock from the dead monkey that she was undergoing psychotic
episode.
Looking confused, he asked, "Amelia, what are you doing here?"
Amelia was taken aback by surprise when Kaiden suddenly called her from the back. At that time, she was in the
midst of talking to her baby in the stomach.
As soon as she saw that it was Kaiden, she was irritated, "What's wrong with you? Why the hell you want to scare
me?"
Kaiden replied innocently, "I'm the one being scared by you! Who are you talking to?"
Hearing this, Amelia tensed up a little as she muttered, "No one. | was just talking to myself."
Kaiden sized her up unconvincingly, "But I'm sure that | heard you saying 'don't be scared"."
Amelia persisted, "I'm telling myself not to be scared. Don't you remember what your cousin served on the
table?"
As she said, the memory of the dead monkey flashed across her mind again. She could not help feeling
disgusted.
Seeing that she broke out in a sweat, Kaiden knew that his cousin had indeed frightened her this time. He sought
to comfort her, "My cousin does have sspecial preference when it comes to eating. But I've already asked
him to remove it from the table. You don't have to be scared anymore."
Taking a glance at him, Amelia grumbled, "How could you regard it as 'special'? Your cousin has such an extreme
taste! At first | doubted you when you warnedof your cousin. But right now, | completely believe you after
I've seen it myself! But why would your brother serve the dead monkey in front of me? Is he trying to frighten
With an unnoticeable sigh, Kaiden assured her, "No, it's not like this. It's not what you think. Don't overthink it."
Yet to be recovered from shock, Amelia said, "Anyway, eating raw brain plasma of a monkey is totally something
unacceptable for me! I've seen such thing on TV before, but this was definitely my very first tto see it
myself. Have you seen it? It's eyes were wide opened when it was dead!"
Being remined by Amelia, Kaiden could feel his stomach churning nauseously, "I saw it just now. But it is just an
animal anyway. My cousin is not the first person who eat it, and no doubt he won't be the last too. So, you don't
have to feel scared. My cousin is a good person still."
His words had immediately sent Amelia into confusion. She muttered, "Kaiden, are you sure you're in your right
mind? You're the one who toldto beware of your cousin when we were in the aquarium. Now you want to
assurethat your cousin is a good person. Don't you think that this is self-contradictory?"
Kaiden's eyes flickered in guilt. Only he knew that he had said so because his cousin was no longer involved in
the game. Before he could explain himself, Amelia changed the topic, "Oh yeah, is Mr. Quartley aware that I ran
out from his house?" To avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Kaiden decided to make a white lie, "He doesn't
know."
"Good then." Amelia nodded in relief and continued, "We should go back now. It's inappropriate to keep Mr.
Quartley waiting." Kaiden stared on her forehead which was still covered in sweat. He asked again, "Are you sure
that you can do this?"
Noticing that what he was staring, Amelia raised up her hand to wipe off the sweat on her forehead before she
assured him, "I'm good to go! | was just overreacting. As you said, it's not that your cousin is the only person
who likes to eat monkey's brain.
After all, I'm too ignorant."
Upon returning to the dining table, Amelia was surprised by two things. Firstly, the brain plasma served together
with the monkey had already been removed from the table. The opening at the center of the dining table was
being replaced with exotic fruit platter.
She secretly felt relieved at this arrangement on the table.
She might be taking it light when she tried to reassure Kaiden. However, in fact, she was still dejected at the
idea of eating monkey's brain. Had she been insisted on having her meal right in front of the dead monkey with
its brain exposed in the air, she doubted if she could ever take in anything.
Secondly, she saw that Sawyer was already on the table. His eyes were irresistibly black which lured people into
looking at them.
Despite his gorgeous look, Amelia had not forgotten his cruelty. She could not help keeping an eye on him.
Kaiden whispered to her, "You can take a seat now."
