Brittany was in a daze as she heard it, but she had to admit that Daniel's words made sense.
If Amelia had not been a cold fish and caused Daniel to be arrested, why would Brittany go to meet him late at night in order to avoid paparazzi? But instead fell to the ground that led to the accidental miscarriage?
Ever since Daniel had been imprisoned, her life had been constantly changing. Brittany, who used to be carefree, had been forced to grow up, to the point that she had even left her hometown.
She was deceiving herself if she were to say that she had no resentment against Amelia!
It was just that the Apex Construction Corporation needed Amelia, while Alice also clearly prohibited her from being against Amelia again...
It was one of the reasons why she left Northville and came to South City to study.
At the moment, each of Daniel's words was rebuking Amelia, where each of them made sense as well. Brittany's heart, which had her hatred suppressed, immediately began to stir.
It had to be said that Daniel was like a Pandora devil box for Brittany as the evilness and resentment within stimulated Brittany's hidden and inborn evil completely!
However, Brittany's instinctive reaction was also included. As long as she was together with Daniel, she would always do so.
Brittany began reminiscing the past and said, "Daniel, after my accidental miscarriage, I've asked Amelia to go and tell you about it in the prison. But she brought back the news of you being caught with tuberculosis in the prison.
She said that she could not see you and had left the message to the police. Because I was unable to contact you, I could not verify the truth of her words. Can you tell me whether your illness is true or false?"
Daniel was silent for a long while before saying, "My illness is true. Amelia leaving the message should be true as well. Otherwise, she would not have known about my illness clearly. But I don't remember the police telling me about your miscarriage. It could also be that I was so seriously ill that my mind was in a mess. That's why I've forgotten everything that they've told me."
Brittany said, "Daniel, it seems that Amelia didn't lie to me about this matter. I thought that she was colluding with the police on purpose to lie about your illness so as to prevent us from meeting each other. After listening to what you've said now, I think that she's at least acted aboveboard although she is ruthless."
Daniel coldly said, "Brittany, this is exactly her trick! She doesn't care about our lives essentially, but she never forgets to do us a little favor. She's doing this just so that you can be grateful to her and forget what she did to me!"
Brittany thought his words made sense, so she wiped out her last bit of gratitude towards Amelia the same moment.
She could not help but said, "Daniel, since you're suffering in jail, you may not know that Amelia is not having a peaceful life in the Northville recently..."
After disclosing the details of the affairs concerning Amelia, Patrick, and Sawyer in one breath, Brittany continued, "I've told you long ago that Amelia is a seductive woman who is good at flirting with others! But this time, she finally failed as she had ended up getting involved with the Hopper Family's biggest enemy. I think that Patrick will divorce her soon, so that he can wash away the shame of the Hopper Family!"
After hearing the full story, Daniel said in an extremely surprised tone, "Oh? There's actually such a thing?!"
"Yes, I wondered why the Apex Construction Corporation improved so quickly. It turned out that she had a shady deal with Sawyer. She is a married woman yet she did such dirty things, it was definitely a shame of the Apex Construction Corporation! If dad wakes up, he will definitely be angry that he'll faint again when he hears this!" Brittany said meanly.
Daniel said righteously: "Brittany, just as you said, can you really bear to let your dad's company be questioned and scolded under Amelia's manipulation?"
Brittany said, "I can't bear it, but I have no choice! The company is now in her hands. Unless she makes a huge decisive mistake, or else it's hard for her to step down. No matter how debauched she behaves, it's still an indisputable fact that the Apex Construction Corporation was brought back to life in her hands.
Back then, didn't she become the acting chair just because the shares her mother gave her were much more than those I got from dad? After all, the Apex Construction Corporation was established by dad and her biological mother. This is her congenital advantage and no one can do anything to her."
Daniel said dotingly, "Little dummy, if mom has told you, would that still be called a secret?
Do you still remember that you once told me about dad not allowing you to enter his reading room since young? You said that he kept it locked almost all the time!
Once, when he forgot to lock the door, you sneaked in and found a safe behind a picture!
Have you thought of why dad still hid it behind a picture, given that he had already locked it in the room?
What could be the secret that's worth to be hidden so tightly by dad for so long?"
Daniel's words made Brittany to have complexed feelings in her heart, but she quickly thought of something and said dispiritedly, "But, I don't know the password to open the safe!"
"Well, this..."
"Oh, I got it!" Before Daniel could come up with an idea for her, Brittany said excitedly, "Mom will
definitely know. I'll call her later and ask her about it!"
"No!" Daniel hurriedly stopped her, "Brittany, don't be too rash. Do you think mom will easily let you know a secret that has been guarded by dad for so many years? I might have forgotten to tell you just now that I've overheard dad mentioning it to mom while I was passing by dad's bedroom. That's why this confidential mission has to be carried out secretly, or else it would possibly stir up mom's wrath."
