Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 830

She turned around and smiled at him. "Uncle Kaleb, do you have any instructions for me?"

Kaleb's filthy eyes were widened when he approached Amelia, "From what I've heard, is it true that my eldest niece had returned to The Ramsay Mansion the night before yesterday?"

Amelia was taken aback for a brief second. "Oh? Who did you hear that from?"

Was it Alice? No, that was impossible. She did not seem long-tongued.

"Who else could it be?" Kaleb acted to be affable. "Naturally, of course, it's from Brittany."

"Oh, that made sense," Amelia thought.

Brittany was completely empty-headed and could not pinpoint who genuinely cared about her. Amelia was sure Brittany treated Kaleb as a close relative the moment Kaleb presented her with some benefits.

So, what was the purpose behind Brittany disclosing this matter to Kaleb? Was she wanting to use Kaleb to mock Amelia for being helpless and alone?

After a pause, Amelia answered, unperturbed, "Yes, and not just the night before yesterday, maybe tonight as well, and tomorrow night, even the day after tomorrow... I'll stay at The Ramsay Mansion."

Kaleb questioned, "That's to say you're in a row with Mr. Patrick?"

Amelia replied with a faint smile, "Uncle, you seem to care a lot about my personal life."

Without shame, Kaleb continued, "Of course! Your father is now in the hospital, and Daniel is in jail! You, Brittany, and Alice are all my family! It's my responsible for me to take care of my cousin's daughters and wife for him. I believe that when he wakes up, he'll also be grateful for my actions."

Amelia glanced at him and asked airily, "Uncle, are you sure you're not trying to overtake me?"

"What... What are you talking about?" Stunned, Kaleb was startled as if Amelia had hit the nail on the head. He then glared at Amelia and burst into a fit of rage, "Why do you always misunderstand others' good intentions? If I were truly like what you said, that I had a questionable intent towards The Ramsay Family, why didn't I pull up the directors to fight for the position of the president when Daniel stepped down? If that was the case, why would I support a junior who doesn't know about anything?"

The lifted corners of Amelia's lips gradually deepened. Was Kaleb seriously fooling her around like she was an idiot?

Back then, Apex Construction Corporation was in a crisis between life and death. Kaleb and his gang had only used Amelia as a scapegoat for the media and the victims' families. In short, they pushed her for the position to take the hit for the hatred and anger directed at the company.

Except to Jonathan and a small number of directors, she was just a medium to bear both the pressure from inside and outside the company!

As for Kaleb and the rest, they just felt at ease and justified being their own boss behind the scenes, waiting for the storm to subside before they could get rid of her from the post of the company president.

Without Jonathan's help and the project she secured at the Eastern District, she would have long been both physically and mentally drained and gave up her seat without Kaleb even asking her to.

But what was the point of doing everything according to the assumed and expected trajectory of events?

Amelia was glad that she was able to catch everyone off guard!

Since Kaleb was an ambitious man, he must be upset even in his dreams at night when facing the series of changes that Amelia had brought to the company.

But she did not spare a thought into sympathising with them.

She had not only secured her seat as the temporary president at the table, but she also had plans to become the official president in the future!
