The man opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a call "Amelia" behind her.
The man who spoke to Amelia raised his chin and looked at Daniel and said, "Hey, isn't this the fiance? He left his fiancee alone and comes to chat with other woman?"
When Amelia figured out Daniel's voice, the pain quickly flashed through her eyes and she calmed herself down in a second. When she looked back at Daniel, she was indifferent.
Smiling slightly to the man beside Amelia, the fiance said, "Joshua, this is my fiancee's elder sister. I think I've the right to talk to her, right?"
Joshua sneered and looked at Amelia with regret. In the end, he didn't want to break up the relationship with Daniel, so he turned to other ladies.
In the corner, only Amelia and Daniel were left there.
"Amelia, I heard you're married?" This was the first sentence Daniel said to Amelia.
Seeing Amelia not answering, Daniel said to himself, "The Hopper is the richest family in Northville. Patrick's grandfather once worked as a national politician and Patrick had officially taken over Roxxon. If you marry him, you will be rich in the future with all the glory and wealth..."
Facing high- hat Daniel, Amelia interrupted with a sneer, "A luxurious life, being rich with glory and wealth are all my business, not yours."
Pushing the gold- rimmed glasses on his nose, Daniel said, "Your business? You are originally from the Ramsay and I will be the son- in- law of the Ramsay. Do you think it's not my business?"
Amelia smiled and said, "Then it seems that you misunderstood. In my heart, Brittany is never qualified to be the younger daughter of the Ramsay Family. Her mother and you... have nothing to do with the Ramsay!"
"You can't say whether it's my business. You know what this engagement means? From now on, I'll take off at Apex and I will perform well. Then together with Brittany's shares, I will soon become a Director, haha."
Amelia felt disappointed with Daniel's words. All the years when they were in the relationship, she really underestimated Daniel's ambition for wealth. She used to think that he was honest and could be trusted and relied on. How could she know he eyed on the wealth and status covetously!
"Daniel, I haven't asked you. I have everything Brittany has. Why did you choose her instead of me?"
"My dear, you are too dull. You know Brittany makes me happy." Daniel’s tone was filled with regret, "The most important thing is that I especially hate your being scrupulous in separating public interests from the private ones. Actually, every time we dined out, and when you requested us to go Dutch, your eyes were full of sympathy, which really made me feel like vomiting. I am not a beggar and you don’t need to be so pitiful for me!”
It was not until Daniel left with his wine cup that Amelia finally came to consciousness with a faint smile. How could she imagine her taking very good care of Daniel would one day become an excuse for him to fight her back?
Amelia's disappointed look was seen by Brittany, who was surrounded by her friends. Brittany walked to her arrogantly.
Two of Brittany's good friends were by her side.
Standing still and deliberately looked around, Brittany asked curiously, "My dear sister, my brother-in-law didn't come with you?"
Mamie smiled and said, "My dear, she is the sister who was kicked out by you? Hahaha really?"
Amelia glanced at her and said, "My dear, I think you are crazy."
When was she kicked out? It was obvious that Brittany was gossiping in front of others.
Mamie looked at Amelia and asked, "Old woman, don't you remember me?"
Definitely yes. She was asking for Ryan's private number but was finally scolded and "kicked out" by Nora.
