Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1648

The next day.

Patrick took Amelia to the police station and met Owen.

As soon as they saw each other, Patrick immediately asked, "Owen, you've been interrogating Kaleb for a whole day. Did you get anything useful from him?"

Owen did not keep Patrick guessing and said, "Kaleb admitted about using Apex Construction Corporation's funds to escape to the UK. I asked him why, and he said he couldn't take the pressure from the government and Easthern District project, so he made mistakes. He also said he hoped to get some leniency."

Amelia did not hide her surprise. "He has always been shameless. I didn't expect him to admit the truth so quickly this time."

Owen then explained, "He has no choice. Five days ago, Jonathan Tucker from Apex contacted me and informed me that there was something off with the company's finances as a large amount of money was siphoned out in Kaleb's name. After that, I asked him to find out the exact amount of money. Thanks to him, I already knew that Kaleb had misappropriated 100 million USD from the company when I went to the airport to arrest him. It was also because I've accurately revealed the exact amount to Kaleb that he got so flustered and told me everything."

Amelia was stunned again. "Uncle Tucker?"

Patrick chimed in, "Yes, I told Jonathan to contact Owen if anything comes up recently."

Amelia was caught off guard. "When did you two...?" She had no clue about anything!

Patrick put a hand on her swollen belly and said softly as he saw the confusion in Amelia's eyes, "We just didn't want you to worry too much."

"That's right, Amelia. The most important thing for you right now is to keep yourself healthy," Owen added.

Fine.

Amelia then turned and asked, "Did Kaleb admit about doing anything else apart from that?"

"Anything else? You mean anything that's related to Yancie Cabeza?" Owen asked.

Amelia nodded.

"About Yancie, I think it's best to bring forth the videos and recorder when I get into this matter. We should completely break down Kaleb's psychological defence," Owen said.

"I've brought all the items you've asked for. I'll leave them to you." Patrick took out a USB flash drive and a recording pen from his briefcase then handed them to Owen.

Owen smiled as he saw this. "Very well. You know me after all."

As Amelia watched the two brothers cooperated so well, Amelia slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you with this case, Owen."

At the same time, at Apex Construction Corporation.

"Say that again! Kaleb Ramsay didn't come to work today?"

At Freddy's murderous gaze, Kaleb's assistant stuttered nervously, "Yes, Mr. Kaleb didn't come to work since yesterday, and he has yet to answer his calls. I don't know where he's gone."

"Good job, Kaleb! He promised to introduce an investor to me. But now, he isn't even coming to work, even needing me to go find him personally. What a..."

Freddy looked like he was about to cuss, but held back his anger because of his status.

At this moment, a figure suddenly showed up in Kaleb's office. He called out from Freddy's back, "Mr. Gradner, you don't have to look for him. Kaleb won't return for the time being."

Freddy turned back and saw the man who had just entered. Jonathan Tucker, the man who had a close relationship with Amelia?

However, ever since Kaleb became the acting director, Freddy had rarely contacted Jonathan. He had discussed anything related to the Easthern District with Kaleb. So, when Freddy suddenly met Jonathan again, Freddy instantly wondered if Amelia was returning to the company. Hence, Freddy's attitude became much more polite when he replied, "You are... Mr. Tucker?"

"Yes, that's me." Jonathan nodded and continued, "May I ask if it's convenient for Mr. Gradner to come to my office? I have some matters to talk to you in private."

"Sure thing." Freddy did not want to waste any more time about Kaleb. So, he took a big stride forward to follow Jonathan.

Unexpectedly, Kaleb's assistant spoke up. He said to Jonathan in a strange tone, "Mr. Tucker, Mr. Kaleb said that he would entertain Mr. Gradner personally. I suggest you mind your own business!"

Jonathan responded faintly, "Since he wants to entertain Mr. Gradner personally, then where is he? I saw how tiring it is for Mr. Gradner to stand and wait here, so I'm inviting him to my office. I'll send Mr. Gradner back when Mr. Kaleb comes back to work. Are you satisfied now?"

"Mr. Gradner is here for Mr. Kaleb. Naturally, he should be waiting in Mr. Kaleb's office. I'm afraid that going to your office isn't very appropriate, isn't that right?" Kaleb's assistant continued to interject.

"Why not?" This time, it was Freddy who spoke, "It's not up to Mr. Kaleb to decide wherever I want to be."

"That's good." After a pause, Freddy ground his teeth and added, "Kaleb said he found me a suitable investor for the Easthern District project. I guess it's to deceive me so that I can earn more time for him from the government?"

"Now that I think about it, it might be as you said." Jonathan went on, "If Kaleb had actually found a suitable investor, why would he run away with the money?"

Freddy asked in puzzlement, "Mr. Tucker, I don't understand why your company has chosen such a candidate for the acting director. Won't that only ruin the company's reputation?"

Jonathan sighed. "Mr. Gradner, Kaleb is a relative to our president, and Director Ramsay is only an adopted orphan. That's why he dares to form a party and team up with most of the directors to take Director Ramsay down."

"Director Ramsay was suffering from the pain of finding out her family background, and she's pregnant. Naturally, she has no strength to compete with him. If Kaleb can manage the company well, then there's nothing else we at the company can say."

"But as you can see, the company is worsening under his leadership. And he... Sigh. In short, Kaleb is disappointing us to the extreme."

Immediately, Freddy understood about everything!

It turned out that Kaleb did not become the acting director because of his capabilities, nor did he have a good plan for the Easthern District project either. All he had was petty tricks, and when the trick stopped coming into use, he tried to flee!

Freddy, whose mind had cleared up, got so enraged that he slammed the table and got up onto his feet. "No way! I'm going to tell my boss his true colour immediately!"

Jonathan replied, "Mr. Gradner, Kaleb Ramsay is a sc*m. We, Apex Construction Corporation, also want to take this opportunity to eliminate junks like him. We hope Mr. Gradner can give us more time. And I believe that before long, Apex will cooperate with the government in a brand new aspect."

Freddy pondered for a moment. "Mr. Tucker, so many things have happened to Apex Construction Corporation. Do you think the government will continue to let Apex operate the Easthern District project?"

"What if I tell you that the Kaiden Wright's design is with Director Ramsay?" Under Freddy's awed stare, Jonathan continued, "There's one more thing. Did Mr. Gradner forget that Director Ramsay and Mr. Hopper of Roxxon Group are about to get married? Can Mr. Hopper look on with folded arms on matters regarding Director Ramsay?"

After Jonathan saw Freddy off, he picked up the receiver of the landline. He then called Audrey to ask her to gather the directors for a meeting right away.

Half an hour later, in the conference room.

After everyone was present, Jonathan cleared his throat and declared with a solemn expression, "Everyone, I've invited you all to this meeting because I have something unfortunate to announce."

At that, someone immediately questioned with a gleeful grin, "Unfortunate? Hey, don't tell me that you're retiring?"
