Chapter 711
Chapter 711
Where was Patrick when Amelia went to apologize to the victims' families and was being scolded and beaten?
What was more, Amelia's brother-in-law Daniel was in jail because of this matter. Didn't Patrick think about helping Daniel?
None of the people in the hall were foolish!
Even though Amelia and Patrick were spouse. However, there were lots of evidences showed that they were not in love since their secret wedding!
The leader looked at Amelia and said in confusion, "President Ramsay, do you mean that Roxxon Corporation is Apex Construction Corporation's current investor? How could I not know about the news?"
Amelia blinked her black eyes and said, "Oh! This is a decision that my husband and I made recently. This is because he has to spend some time to take into account how much profits he can earn from the Eastern District's project. So he made up his mind quite late and we haven't have the time to announce it to the public."
The leader felt a bit persuaded and answered,
'"Alright." Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Amelia took the opportunity to say, "Leaders, The Hopper Family's elder was very happy when he heard that Roxxon Corporation and Apex Construction Corporation had work together for the Eastern District's project. He also said that he would call you personally to thank you."
Despicable!
Many people in the hall realized what Amelia said meant something else. Was The Hopper Family's elder an ordinary man? That was Howard Hopper! Even the government leader had to be polite with him!
The crowd heard Amelia saying that Howard was going to call the leaders on the stage and personally thank them.
The leaders on the stage had waited all their life for this honor. They could not wait to give the project to Amelia without getting approval.
"Wait a minute!" Then, a man suddenly stood up from his seat which drew the attention of the people on and off the stage.
The leader frowned unhappily when he encountered this sudden interruption and asked, "You are?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. I think what President Ramsay said is not valid." The man said seriously.
Amelia suddenly looked at the man with a cold face. "Sir, do you mean that I'm lying to the leaders?"
"I can't judge whether President Ramsay is lying or not. However, President Ramsay and Mr. Hopper's marriage has lots of red signs frequently. This is a fact that everybody knows!"
As he said this, the man grabbed a book from the table and raised it up high. "Look at the latest magazine in my hand that is from this morning. Who are the handsome man and beautiful woman who sat in the same luxury car and enter the same luxury house?"
The camera man immediately moved his camera over. On the screen, It was a photo of Patrick helping a woman in red high heels to open the car door. The background was at a high-class apartment...
"And this photo as well!" The man flipped the magazine proudly when he heard the crowd exclaimed. The photographer moved the camera and another photo of Patrick and the woman was displayed on the huge display screen in the hall.
It could be seen that Patrick was holding the woman who wore red high heels in his arms on the street!
There were two photos. One photo captured the red high heels woman's figure. Another photo was her side profile when she looked down.
Looking at her side profile from the photo, the crowd could see that she had long eyelashes and sharp nose...
It seemed that the person who took these photos considered Patrick's status. So he purposely took photos of the woman from angles which her face could not be seen clearly!
However, these two photos were more than enough! Patrick hugged a woman on the street. This was indeed a sensational news!
Then the man who held the magazine said, "Leaders, as you can see, even if President Ramsay and Mr. Hopper cooperate with each other, they can't overcome their marriage crisis. Just in case both of them divorce in the future, and Mr. Hopper wanted to withdraw his funds from the Apex Construction Corporation. Can President Ramsay and her company still able to finish the important task entrusted by all the leaders as scheduled? I'm afraid they can't do it."
The leader hesitated.
The man continued to taunt. "Once again I want to advise all leaders to think twice before you make any decisions. After all, Eastern District's project involves in many industries. If other companies are being affected by Apex Construction Corporation, then who will bear the loss?"
Other industrial leaders felt insecure. "Yes, we definitely won't allow this to happen. We must eliminate all the bad element that would affect the Eastern District's project!"
"I agree!"
"I agree as well!"
"President Ramsay!" Jonathan suddenly stood up and looked at Amelia in disbelief when he saw that she was being bombarded.
Amelia felt cold all over. She really felt cold indeed.
Everyone looked at her so fervently that she could not ignore it. However she still felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Her throat was dry and she shivered. She... could not even say a word.
Jonathan could not help reaching out his hand and putting it on her shoulder when he saw that her face was pale. He shook it gently and said, "President Ramsay, do you know what's going on?"
She knew. Of course she knew.
Jonathan looked at her worriedly. "President Ramsay, can you please say something?"
Stop making any noise. Her head hurt so much and she was cold all over. Stop making noise!
Jonathan wanted to say something but Kaiden suddenly waved his hand indicating that he should stop calling her.
Jonathan did not understand what Kaiden was trying to do. "Mr. Wright?"
Kaiden raised its hand and pinched Amelia's arm ruthlessly. He used all his strength as if he wanted to rip off a piece of her flesh!
Amelia suddenly woke up from the pain. She lowered her eyes and glanced at Kaiden who was slowly retracting his hand. There was no accusation in her eyes.
Then she raised her head and glanced at the people in the hall who were eager to trample her into hell one by one. She said coldly, "Everyone, please be quiet for a while!! Please listen to me!!!"
Amelia shouted out the last few words!
With the help of the sound system, her voice became much louder to the point where it seemed like her voice was breaking out of tune.
When everyone closed their mouths, Amelia said bitterly, "Everyone, what you saw was just the surface. I know the woman who was held in my husband's arms. She is his company's senior executive. She was not feeling well that day so my husband went to pick her up and send her to..."
Before Amelia finished her words, the man who took out the magazine interrupted with a sneer, "Did the Roxxon Corporation staff still at work on weekend? This is something that I've never heard of before!"
Amelia's blue veins appeared on her hand when she was holding the microphone. "Did I say that Roxxon's staff work overtime on weekends? No! I just said that this senior executive was not feeling well and her family was not around her. My husband just kindly sent her to the hospital after receiving the news! I'm aware of this!"
