Amelia sensed that Kate had a favor to ask of her, so she responded accordingly: "Well, thank you for the introduction. I'll take on your brother's estate design project. But I'm guessing you didn't come to me just to introduce the project, right? Is there something else you want to talk to me about?"
"There is indeed something I need your help with."
After chatting for a while and having several cups of coffee, Kate finally mustered up the courage to get to the point: "Amelia, how about talking to Jonny for me?"
Upon hearing this request, Amelia was taken aback. "Kate, I'm not very close with Jonny. It wouldn't be appropriate or effective for me to talk to him."
She instinctively declined, but Kate stood up, sat next to her, and gently held her hand, patting the back of it.
"I know it's not appropriate for you to talk to him, but Jonny wants you to take care of him. He feels guilty that the Clark family treated your mother poorly and wants to make it up to you. So, I thought maybe asking you to talk to him could work?"
After finishing her sentence, Kate added, "Of course, if you're not willing, it's okay. We'll think of another solution."
The Evans family was aware of Amelia's true identity, which Jonny had revealed, but they chose to keep silent and not spread it to others.
