Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1591

"Speaking about Gramps Hopper's birthday party."

Although Amelia really wanted to attend, she had some concerns. "Your mother... will be there at that time, right?"

Patrick gently stroked the hair on her cheek and said softly, "I think this is inevitable."

"What if she makes a fuss?"

"Don't worry. Grandpa would not let her do so in the event held by The Hopper Family."

Amelia got confident from his words. She feels warm and start nodding and said, "Well, I'll go with you."

"Awesome." A smile finally appeared on Patrick's face, the atmosphere was filled with happiness.

In the evening, in Kaleb's house

Ring, ring, ring—

The landline rang but Brittany did not dare to pick it up. It shown that the call was from Kaleb.

Fiona, who was in the kitchen, quickly came out when she heard the ringing. She picked up the microphone with one hand and made a "ssshhh" gesture at Brittany with the other hand.

In all fairness, Fiona was not bad to her, but so what? This woman was simple too timid to testify for her. So she hated her too!

Brittany scoffed and pretended that she was not interested in Kaleb's call. However, as she was hiding at the back, she tried her best to hear the conversation between Fiona and Kaleb.

Fiona replied from time to time while listening, "So you won't be back for dinner tonight? Oh... there is a celebration party for you? What! You are now the acting chairman of the company? Okay, sure... I will take good care of her and not let her run around..."

Fiona said something after that, but Brittany did not paid attention to it. It was a traumatic news to her that put her into stunned.

When Fiona put down the microphone, she saw Brittany's face was pale as if she was about to faint. She whispered, "Brittany, if you're not feeling well, you may go back to your room to rest..."

However, Brittany grabbed Fiona's arm and asked with her eyes widely open, "Aunt... Did I just hear it wrongly? Kaleb, did he really become the acting chairman?"

Fiona nodded. "That's what he said on the phone."

Brittany let go of Fiona with disappointment. She had already visited Amelia and Patrick. How could Kaleb still be the acting chairman?

Brittany kept thinking about the this until late night.

She lied on her bed but could not fall asleep. She also tried to call Amelia several times to get a clarity, but she quickly put down her cell phone. Because if she still could not figure out the answer by now, she would sound like an idiot.

She realized that as she chose to fought with Kaleb, both of them would never get any benefit from it. On the other hand, Amelia would be the person vested the benefit from it!

Amelia was no longer her "sister" nor part of "The Ramsay Family". She did not need to clean up the mess for the sake of The Ramsay Family anymore...

Feeling wronged, depressed, and irritated, Brittany could not get herself into sleep.

After some time, Brittany felt like she is getting more awake. Suddenly, she heard a voice coming from outside the room.

She instantly sat up from her bed, turned on the bedside lamp, put on her slippers, walked to the door, opened the door and looked into the living room.

As she had expected, Kaleb came back.

He was drunk with a ruddy face and lying on the couch, humming a ditty with his eyes half-closed. Obviously, he was in a good mood.

"Second uncle? Are you still awake?" Brittany asked softly as she approached him.

When he heard her voice, Kaleb immediately opened his eyes, with a mixture of complacent and vigilantly, he asked, "My niece, it's so late. Why are you still awake?"

Brittany sneered the moment she heard his words. Since the ugly argument, Kaleb would never get drunk even when he was celebrating something. He was obviously wary of her.

On the face, she showed an innocent smile and asked, "I heard aunt say that uncle has got what he wants?"

"That's right." Kaleb nodded.

Brittany held on tightly to the hem of her robe and forced herself to humbly ask, "Since Second Uncle has already gotten what you want, shouldn't you return the video to me?"

"Return it back to you?" Kaleb sat up and looked at her calmly. "Do you really think your uncle is drunk and loss my mind?"

Brittany said anxiously, "Second uncle, didn't we agree before? Are you... are you going back on your word?"

A blood-thirsty look appeared in Brittany's eyes, and she duly said, "Second uncle didn't intend to go back on my word, but there's one more thing you haven't done for me."

Brittany was stunned and asked, "Are you referring to the fact that Derrick asked Amelia to take back the shares?"

Kaleb humphed.

There were other people in the Simmons Family. Why should she be concerned about Derrick alone?

Since this old Derrick was not on her side, she would contact his brothers, sisters, children, and grandchildren. She believed that someone would be tempted.

Two days passed in a flash...

Since he took the office, Kaleb had not enjoy his life. First of all, the blueprint of the Easthern District was lost. It was obvious that the little bastard Kaiden was the one who took it. Kaleb had no choice but to let his several assistants, who usually assisted Kaiden, try their best to restore the previous design.

Secondly, after he had decided to terminate the collaboration with Sawyer, he was now concerned with finding a new investor.

Those who get along with him were either playboys, gamblers, or drunkards. Not to mention a hundred million yuan, they would never willing to spend a penny on serious matter like this.

As for those rich and famous people in the Northville, to be honest, they looked down upon the vulgar people like him. Not to mention cooperating with him, they even detested his words.

But Kaleb was not discouraged. He believed that as long as the Easthern District project was in hand, everything would be easy!

After all, the government set store by this project now, the government was his biggest backer! If it did not work out, he would let the government come forward and pull the investment partners for Apex Construction Corporation!

Well, it had to be said that people like him could really think of anything.

Just as Kaleb was comforting himself with the words 'everything is going to be okay', Freddy arrived.

Freddy, the mighty chief manager of the Eastern District project.

Kaleb did not dare to neglect it and immediately put on his best hospitality to welcome Freddy.

"Don't bother." Freddy twisted his eyebrows and said impatiently, "I have something to talk to you. Please sit down."

Sensing their leader's displeasure, Kaleb carefully took his seat and began to put on a show of selfreflection, "Leader, there's something I have to report to you first, that is Sawyer and Kaiden had decided to leave the project due to personal reason. They have already cut ties with Apex Construction Corporation."

"I know that!" When it came to this, Freddy had a headache, "What is wrong with you company? Just because you change the acting chairman, you sacrifices two talents? Oh no, it should be three! Three!"

"Apart from Sawyer and Kaiden, who else is there?" Kaleb was confused.

"Who else could it be? Naturally, it's the previous acting chairman of the company! When she was around, Sawyer and Kaiden would stay. But as soon as you took over the company, they decided to leave immediately, what do you think is wrong here? Freddy was meant to fiercely criticized Kaleb.

Kaleb felt wronged and said, "I don't know why they want to leave! I've tried to keep them. I also warned them that if they break the agreement like this, they would be making things difficult for you. However, they said that you were old, and they are not afraid to quit in front of you!"
