Looking at the stranger standing at the door, Amelia was suddenly taken aback.
What happened to all the security guards at home? Why had they frequently let outsiders in recently?
The last time Amelia met Abner, she let the issue slide. After all, he landed in a helicopter. Unless the security guards grew with wings, it was impossible forthem to stop him.
As for Sawyer, the major investor of the Apex Construction Corporation, as long as he showed his identity, the security guards would certainly dare not stop him.
The Quartleys' visit would be understandable, but how did they let this man in? She did not know him at all!
The one-eyed man looked at her and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Ramsay?"
Amelia could not smile, and this made her look terribly flustered instead. "Yes, I am, and you are?" The one-eyed man introduced himself and said, "I am Mr. Quartley's subordinate, and will be responsible in taking you to the Nine Streams villa."
Upon hearing that, Amelia's eyes became cold. "I see. No wonder our security pavilion has become just a mere decoration, however..."
The one-eyed man was puzzled. "However?"
Amelia put on a false smile and asked, "Why didn't Sawyer directly send Abner over in a helicopter and come over to pick him up personally?"
The one-eyed man was stunned. After that, he officially said, "Mr. Quartley has something to attend to today."
Really?
Amelia's lips lifted sarcastically.
Sawyer was not necessarily busy, but he had already achieved his goal, so there was no need for him to use the excuse of 'fetching his son' to let the paparazzi take photos of the three of them secretly.
The one-eyed man did not seem to want to waste any more time broaching on the topic. He and the two men behind him leaned towards the side and instructed, "Ms. Ramsay, please come with us."
Without any discussion, he asked her to immediately go with them.
"What if I refuse?" she questioned.
The one-eyed man replied, "Please don't make things difficult for us." "What if I refuse!" She repeated what she said again, even more determined than the first time.
The one-eyed man raised his voice, "Ms. Ramsay! Let me remind you, you and my master have an agreement in advance that he will support your company, and you will spend time teaching our young master. If you go against your word, then that wouldn't be very fitting, would it?"
Amelia answered thoughtfully, "Yes, the cooperation between Sawyer and I previously was based on the equality between both parties, but he took advantage of me to humiliate the entire the Hopper Family without my knowledge. How should I get even with him then? Therefore, I have a suggestion."
The one-eyed man narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is it?"
Amelia replied, "For the fact that he had took advantage of me, I propose for him to use the funds that he was going to invest in the Apex Construction Corporation to compensate for it. This way, no one owes each other any more."
How arrogant!
The one-eyed man was dissatisfied internally, but he answered in a circuitous way, "I can't give you an answer for this. You'd better discuss it with my master personally."
"I told you that I won't go. Just inform him for me." After informing the man coldly, Amelia raised her
hand to close the door.
"Wait a minute!" The one-eyed man quickly took out his mobile phone and handed it to her. "Ms. Ramsay, if you really don't want to go, please tell Mr. Quartley your proposal personally."
Rudely, Amelia argued, "Unfortunately, I don't even want to hear his voice! Will you be leaving or not? If you don't leave now, I'll call for help!"
The one-eyed man originally wanted to use the phone to lure Amelia so that she would reach out her hand and be dragged out from behind the door!
Alice did not expect that one day Amelia would be like a little girl, waiting for her at the door for a long time just to wait for her to head out together. If this was in the past, never in her wildest dreams would she dare to dream about this day.
"Well, let's go now!"
Alice felt flattered as she finished speaking. She clutched Amelia's hand and looked as if she was about to rush out of the entrance.
Amelia's face changed, and she quickly held her hand back. "Aunt Alice, you haven't changed the slippers on your feet yet!"
Alice regained to her senses and pursed her lips in embarrassment. "Look at me, I'm getting older and I'm already getting confused."
"No, you're still as young and beautiful as when I first met you when I was young."
There was a hint of comfort in Amelia's words.
No matter how good Alice's foundation was and how much she had taken care of herself, the Ramsay Family's troubles still came one after another in the recent half year. It was undefeatable that people would naturally age more quickly under the circumstances of such pressure.
What was more, the problem that had happened to the Ramsays was Alice's close family members. Compared to Amelia's only concern about George, Alice's life was much more difficult.
"Thank you..." There was a faint bitterness in Alice's smile. "Amelia, I've been thinking recently, if only Brittany could be half as sensible as you, then I wouldn't be always worried about her."
A disapproving expression appeared on Amelia's face. "What's the point of being sensible? The more sensible a person is, the more tired she'll be. I think Brittany is quite good now. She'll just have to return to campus and stay away from all types of disputes. By the way, did she call these two days?"
Alice nodded. She looked at Amelia, as if she wanted to speak, but stopped on a second thought.
Amelia understood and continued, "Did Brittany say something bad about me on the phone so that it isn't convenient for you to tell me anything?"
Alice was stunned and quickly shook her head. "No, no..."
