Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel 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!

Come to 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 I 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 time like 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? I 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! I apologize for what I did in the past! As long as you and Patrick help me save Daniel, I'll kneel and apologize in front of you! Or... I'll do whatever you want me to!"

Amelia was still not giving any response.

Brittany muttered between sobs, "Sis, can you say something? I beg you! I 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 I can ask her to pass it to you, as long as you bail Daniel out! Tell me the 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, I 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 I supposed to help Daniel?"

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

Amelia narrowed her eyes. "He's not in Northville. I 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."
