With Jonathan's approving sight, Amelia raised her hands and clapped a few times. She then said to Kaleb "Your boldness is really a role model we should look up to! Okay then, let's do what you say. We're going to solve it officially!"
Kaleb was being modest after being praised but in fact, he was feeling proud inside. When had he ever been favoured by The Ramsay Family?
In the past, Amelia's father recruited him into the Apex Construction Corporation because he had nothing to do.
Although he was a member of the board, he had no actual power. Although no one said it out loud, they might regard him as a good-for-nothing in the dark.
After when Amelia's father got sick and was admitted, Daniel then took over the place of the chairperson. He thought that he could control Daniel but he could not.
While compared to his cousin, there seemed to be sinisterness within Daniel's shrewdness and it was really well-hidden.
In the end, he could only pretend to be obedient and wait for Daniel to make a mistake that would end his
career.
As a matter of fact, Daniel had indeed brought destruction upon himself. However, the person waiting for him was the next leader of The Ramsay Family, Amelia.
Although Amelia had done a lot of things behind his back, she had taken his proposal without hesitation, hadn't she?
Due to being ignored and denied for a long time, Kaleb felt like he was on cloud nine when he received a single sentence of acknowledgement.
But no matter how happy he was, he would never forget his ultimate goal which was to get Amelia expelled from the Apex Construction Corporation, and take over the whole corporation!
Amelia would never have imagined that her agreeing to Kaleb would stir up such a storm in Kaleb's heart.
Amelia waited until Kaleb put down the empty teacup with satisfaction and leave along with his men before her smile turned into a sneer and cursed in her heart, "What the h*ll!"
All these people kept on coming wave by wave and all of them were with bad intentions, how could she still maintain her positive mindset.
She sat down beside Jonathan and asked in a trustworthy tone, "Uncle Tucker, what do you think
Kaleb means?"
Jonathan was leisurely sipping his tea. When he heard Amelia's words, he lifted his eyes and looked at her. "Why don't you tell me what were you thinking first, President Ramsay?"
Amelia knew that Jonathan was like her master who taught her everything. After all, just being taught with the theories was not good enough. She needed to be given the chance to practice and try it out herself.
Amelia put away her joking attitude and said seriously, "I think he wants to make things worse for me!"
The corners of Jonathan's lips curled up as he blew on his tea. "Hmm? Please elaborate more..."
Amelia then said, "Uncle Tucker, just think it about, the process of dealing with it officially is much more complicated than dealing with it privately. We might even receive a lawsuit for this! With that being said, it is still acceptable for me but, dealing with water pollution isn't easy, we can't just replace all the polluted water with a barrel of clean water. It takes a country a few decades to deal with it, let alone asking a company to solve it along with the officials. If we were to take up the project, I would need to carry the burden of being pressurized by the officers and I would still need to take care of the project in the east zone. Even if I'm still young, working like this would definitely make my hair fall off sooner or later."
Upon hearing Amelia's complaints, Jonathan looked at her with caring eyes and asked, "Since you know about everything, why did you agree with Kaleb's proposal?"
Amelia's eyes widened. "Didn't you shake your head and signal me not to deal with the officers from the Environmental Protection Bureau privately? If I can't solve it in private, the only choice left would be to work with the officials."
