Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 794

Audrey took a look at her surrounding and noticed that Kaleb and the rest had left. She then passed the tea to Jonathan without any hesitation and turned to tidy up Amelia's desk.

At the same time, Jonathan hold the teacup with his fingers together and pushed it towards Amelia, saying, "President Ramsay, tea."

"Oh." Amelia subconsciously reached her hand to the teacup. Without looking at the cup she missed the handle and was immediately scorched by it. She then let out a loud roar. A few moments back, she was acting like a detective, right at this moment all that was left was only shock and pain!

"What's wrong?" As Audrey heard Amelia wailing and roaring, she immediately threw all the documents aside and rushed towards Amelia.

Amelia suppressed the urge to put her finger into her mouth. She turned to Audrey and say, "Everything's fine."

On one side, Jonathan said, "Audrey, could you please buy some antiseptic cream?"

"Sure! I'll go right away!" Audrey replied with her voice filled with concern.

The office door was closed once again as Audrey left. Jonathan then looked at Amelia with guilt and said, "President Ramsay, you should not do two things at once."

Amelia felt so wronged that she almost shrunk into a ball. Why did she have a feeling that Jonathan was deliberately making fun of her?

No, he would not! Uncle Tucker had always been a noble person and it was impossible for him to do such a childish thing!

But in fact, Jonathan had done it on purpose.

Because she had already known what was the main cause of the issue before Audrey came in and if she continued on analysing the issue, Audrey would have heard it by then.

Although Audrey was personally chosen by him from the company but he had always kept an eye on her. In this world, it would rather be careful than be sorry!

The pain on her finger came and fade quickly. After a while, Amelia said to Jonathan as if nothing had happened, "Uncle Tucker, in your opinion, which of the possibilities that I stated just now is much more reliable?"

"The last one."

Amelia showed a reminiscing look in her eyes, "We were framed." After a pause, she came to her senses and gasped in a low voice, "Uncle Tucker, are we really framed?! Who would do that?"

"Calm down a little, let me explain it to you slowly."

"Okay, Uncle Tucker..."

Jonathan's gentle voice and glance had never failed to let Amelia felt at ease.

Perhaps, the other reason why she stayed at Apex Construction Corporation besides her father was that Jonathan was still here.

"It all happened after the project in the Eastern District started. As far as I'm concerned, it's possible that since Apex Construction Corporation was chosen by the government as the partner, it led to jealousy from the other corporation. Think about it, if there's a problem with Apex Construction Corporation during the assessment, who will benefit the most?"

"The other corporation!" Amelia's pupils constricted in shock when she thought of it. That was right, why didn't she think of such a simple and easy-to-understand truth!

However, on second thought, the clue Jonathan had given her was lost again. "But, there were a lot of companies and corporation that participated in the tender that day."

Jonathan continued, "But there aren't many people who are on par with us in resources."

The moment Jonathan's voice faded, a blurry figure suddenly rushed into Amelia's mind. Her expression suddenly darkened. "Could it be him?"

Jonathan did not ask who was in his mind, instead, he stared at Amelia and said "Has President Ramsay thought of him too?"

Amelia frowned. "But I can't be sure if it's him. Even if he shows his hostility to us outside the Council Chamber, I shouldn't make any rash judgment."

Jonathan nodded and said, "I understand. We have no evidence. Even if he's really behind this, we'll need to find evidence first!"

Evidence?

Amelia felt bitter in her heart. She felt like she was fighting an unconfident battle.

When he saw the young girl in front of him shaken up, Jonathan did not scold nor blame her but he felt pity for her instead.

It was so cruel for her to be in such a precarious position at such a young age.

After Amelia calmed down, she gave Jonathan a wide smile. "Uncle Tucker, since Apex Construction Corporation is likely to be wronged, we must seize the opportunity to investigate and end this issue!"

Jonathan agreed as well. "President Ramsay, do you have any good strategies?"

In fact, when Amelia was brainstorming for a solution, she did have some insights. "Uncle Tucker, isn't the enemy trying to create an illusion that Apex Construction Corporation is emitting too much waste?"

Jonathan nodded. "Yes."

Amelia added, "But the truth is we didn't emit that much waste."

Jonathan's lips curled into a smile. "That's right."

Amelia's gaze sharpened as she said, "So they must have used some method to gather food waste and transported it to the river to frame us!"

Jonathan nodded again and again. He was gratified. It turned out that a useless person could be taught the right thing to do too.

After Amelia finished speaking, she grabbed Jonathan's hand and stared at him with her fanatical eyes, she then asked, "Uncle Tucker, I finally understand what you meant by nodding and shaking your head! You want me to agree to the terms of the Environmental Protection Bureau first, to deceive the other party while turning the tables on them privately, am I right?"

Even Jonathan could not help feeling emotional when he saw Amelia holding his hand like this.

However, it was really hard for Jonathan to make the next move as he looked at Amelia's colorful face.

Jonathan blushed. After a moment, he then said in a trembling voice, "President Ramsay, you are thinking too much. I'm just having a stiff neck and I'm exercising it a little."

The room went awkwardly silience.

In the evening, at Land of Fragrance.

As soon as Amelia returned home, she locked herself in the room to think of some countermeasures. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Right at this moment, she was in the open while her enemy was hidden in the dark. It was really difficult to deal with them.

Amelia's head was on the urge of exploding as she kept thinking for a solution. Without noticing how long had it been, she suddenly heard her own stomach growling.

She rubbed her stomach that had been suffering along with its master and glanced at the clock. By then she realized that it was already 8pm.

Amelia straightened up and decided to have her meal before coming up with a solution. However, when she opened the door and went downstairs, she realized that there was no one else in the house except her.

It was okay for Patrick to not be here but why were Scarlett and Huxton absent too?

Amelia held back the urge to squat and hide in the corner. Filled with hunger, she then went to the refrigerator and opened it. When she saw what was inside, she immediately dropped her jaw.

Oh no! There was nothing in the refrigerator except for a few bottles of mineral water and eggs!

Just when she was wondering, her cell phone rang out of a sudden.

Amelia took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Huxton calling her!

She thought that the call came at the right time, so she quickly answered, "Hello? Huxton... Where are you now?"

Huxton hesitated and said, "Madam, I'm now outside with Scarlett..."

Suddenly there was a pause in his words, Huxton somehow could not bring himself to finish the sentence.
