Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 684

Amelia nodded, thinking that Alice's analysis was truly reasonable and convincing.

Alice earnestly said, "Amelia, I don't care whether you believe me or not, but Kaleb and I are not having any affairs. After all, the only man I love is your father."

"Aunty Alice, it's not that I don't trust you. I just feel that Kaleb is indeed a disgusting man! I can't believe he's doing that on you publicly? Why don't you just give him a tight slap in his face so that he will know how to behave next time?"

Amelia felt extremely uncomfortable whenever she mentioned Kaleb. She wished that she could rip his perverted face right away.

Alice forced a smile, "I know what's on his mind. But I can't afford to ruin the plans now considering that he somewhat has a say in Apex Construction. Neither do I want to see him making your situation difficult, nor do I want to see him bringing troubles to the company. I can only bear with it."

Upon learning of Alice's true intention, Amelia could not help feeling ashamed. She had never been thoughtful or understanding in the past. All she did was to go against Alice and rebel with her father for every decisions made by Alice.

Had she listened to her father and went according to his plan laid down for her during her university time and joined Apex Construction right away after she graduated, most probably Daniel would have nothing to do with the company anymore.

After a long silence, Amelia suddenly held Alice's hand and promised, "Aunty Alice, I will definitely make your suffering worthwhile! When I manage to conclude several big investments and strike a few business deals, I will be able to build my own reputation and status in the company. Until then, Kaleb can survive in the company no more!"

Alice was filled with hope all over again. She looked at Amelia and said, "I'll wait for that day."

Seeing Alice's soft and temperament as if she was a helpless sheep awaiting for slaughtering, Amelia could not help feeling worried, "One more thing Aunty Alice, you can't keep tolerate with Kaleb without a limit. Otherwise, he will only become more aggravated! Maybe you can learn from what I did the other night in the hospital. You can threaten to tell his wife and kids. I heard people from the company saying that his wife is a fierce character. Otherwise, Kaleb would not have thought of having affairs outside."

Alice pursed his lips into a smile, "Sure, I know what to do. Don't worry."

Amelia felt uneasy and said, "Who is worried about you? I am just worried that you will betray my father!"

Hearing this, Alice said in an extraordinarily serious manner, "I can promise to you, I will never betray your father even if I have to go through hell!"

"Stop right there! Don't talk nonsense!" Amelia scoffed. She could not bear to hear anyone cursing themselves this way, "You're such a useless person then if Kaleb that pig can easily force you to death!"

Upon seeing Amelia's concerning look, Alice felt a rush of warmth in her heart, "Amelia, how much I wish that you're my daughter by blood. I would have given the best of everything in this world to you."

Although she was still upset by the early death of her mother by blood, Amelia purposely replied relaxingly, "Isn't foster daughter same as your own daughter? Aunty Alice, you'd better make sure that you treat both of us fairly. Otherwise, I will complain to my own mother that you've been torturing me every night in my dream."

In fact, Amelia was not actually lying about this. During the first few years right after

Petty Simmons committed suicide. Amelia had always dreamt of her.

Hence, during her dream at night she had been

complaining to Petty that Alice did not treat her well. Not only that Alice had hit and scold her, she would not let Amelia ate too. The worst scenario was that she had complained that Alice had wanted to kick her out from the house...

Amelia wanted Petty to come back and take care of her by saying so.

Of course, in fact, Alice had never done anything ruthless to her.

At the end of the day, these were just her unspeakable fear underlying in her heart. What the dream did was just to manifest it.

Amelia was somehow freeing herself from her own fear by revealing it to Alice at this moment.

Without any of them realizing, the two of them had in fact became closer.

Alice reached out her hand to pinch Amelia's delicate nose affectionately, "Look what you said! Your words have never been kind to anyone!"
