Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1654

In the face of Owen's sudden accusation, the veins on Kaleb's neck protruded slightly. Kaleb tried his best to explain, "I did not!"

Owen stood outside the steel bars and stared at Kaleb for a moment. Then, he suddenly averted his gaze and said, "Since you insist that you're innocent, I'll try my best to find out the real murderer to prove your innocence. For the time being, please stay here since you're a suspect."

Kaleb did not feel relieved at all. Instead, he felt a chill creeping up his spine. Owen was saying that he was the killer, Kaleb Ramsay!

On the night of the incident, Kaleb murdered Yancie with his bare hands and packed her into a suitcase, ignorant towards her still- warm body that was still bleeding.

Since Yancie's luggage was smaller than her, Kaleb took some effort in folding her arms and legs. In the end, he twisted her limbs into a distorted posture.

Kaleb did not even dare to look at it for too long and quickly pulled up the zipper. When night fell darker, he then moved the luggage to the back of his car to bury it in the suburb.

He did not bury it too deeply. After all, he did not make a perfect murder plan beforehand as he had killed Yancie out of rage.

Therefore, after he buried the luggage in a remote spot, he immediately drove back to her house and cleaned up the blood cautiously.

That night, Fiona slept soundly and knew nothing about what he did.

But after that, Kaleb's delight gradually turned into paranoia. He began to recall the scenes after he murdered Yancie. He could not return to the rental house, but what about the burial site? Was the evidence safe there? Once the police discovered that Yancie was missing, could they trace the whereabouts of her body with the canines?

Kaleb's negative attitude only slightly improved on the day the board meeting was held for Amelia was dismissed and he became the acting director. However, he had never expected that he would be scared by Amelia's faint smile, which appeared to him that everything was under her control. At that time, he even suspected that Amelia knew about Yancie's murder!

It was also because of this that he decided to move Yancie's corpse in the night. After digging up the luggage from the outskirts, Kaleb carried the dust- covered, reeking suitcase to the riverbank and threw it into the water.

Kaleb watched the suitcase as it sunk, and a smile spread across his face in the darkness. He firmly believed that no one could find the corpse with the river's depth!

But at this moment, the photo in his hand reminded him of reality. He tried his best to suppress his panic and wanted to take a deep breath, but he was afraid that Owen would notice something odd with him. So, Kaleb resorted to hold his breath.

But what Kaleb did not know was that his face was as pale as a dead man's, which was a far cry from an innocent person's reaction. Owen was even more unconvinced if he was to believe that Kaleb's paleness was caused by his sorrow for Yancie's death. Kaleb had already broken up with Yancie. Moreover, Yancie had betrayed him. Kaleb should hate her to the core and even wanted her to die.

Fortunately, they had found Yancie's corpse, which was a huge breakthrough to the case. As for the rest, Owen did not mind slowly extracting the facts from Kaleb.

At Apex Construction Corporation.

A group of directors was sitting around and muttering, "By the way, how many days has Kaleb

been missing?" "I don't know. Who cares about him?"

"He won't be coming back, right?"

"Nonsense. If he still intends to come back, why did he take so much money from the company in the first place?"

"Then what are you guys going to do?"

"Me? Haven't you heard that Jonathan has already handed over his work? I'll be doing the same."

"Are you withdrawing your shares too?"

"Don't you want to do that?"

"I... Fine. I did think about it."

"Now, the entire company knows that our acting director has run away, and the Easthern District project is left hanging. Some employees have even resigned and sought jobs elsewhere. So, what are we even waiting for?"

"Ever since Mr. Ramsay was hospitalized, the company has always been in a precarious situation. Finally, we found a turning point with Amelia. But... Forget it. Let's not talk about her. Look at her status now! We should worry about ourselves!"

"Since all of you want to withdraw your shares, then I'll do the same. I'm almost at retirement age anyway, so I don't mind."

The directors who participated in the discussion were accustomed to drifting aimlessly in the company. So, they did not have a collective sense of honour for Apex Construction Corporation. Also, it was natural that they were concerned about themselves at the moment of crisis.

As for Kaleb and his party, they were put in an awkward position in the company ever since Kaleb went missing. Someone would always ask them if they had contacted Kaleb. It seemed almost as if finding Kaleb was their task and not the police's job!

But they did search for him. The few directors who were closer to Kaleb had even gone to Kaleb and Fiona's house multiple times. However, Fiona had also disappeared without a trace. Needless to say, the directors felt extremely desperate and desolate.

As for electing a new acting director or whatnot, forget it. Who on the board of directors was in the mood to take on the responsibility at the moment? Jonathan Tucker, who had the highest loyalty to Apex Construction Corporation, was already preparing to withdraw his shares!

Apex Construction Corporation was decidedly doomed.

After Sissi finished cleaning herself, she became a little soberer. She could not help herself from saying, "Sawyer, I'm suffering."

Sawyer's eyes darkened.

"Ever since I got together with you, even though I haven't done anything or hurt anyone, why do we always run into so much trouble? All I want is to be with you and Abner in peace."

The tears in her eyes gleamed in the light, and the weakness in her words jolted Sawyer's heart. Sawyer also felt a surge of anger rising in him, and he could not wait to vent this feeling!

"Sawyer, it's not just me. It's the same for you as well. You managed to find me after much difficulty, but your parents, Amelia, and that sl*t who caused my miscarriage put obstacles in our way and caused us to become like this."

As Sissi went on, she wiped the tears off her face with her finger and said venomously, "Since we're not doing well, why should we let them live a peaceful life?"

She then turned around and grabbed Sawyer's hand. She said as she stared into his eyes, "Amelia and Patrick's wedding is happening on the 20th of this month. The entire Northville is looking forward to the grand occasion. Why do you think they have the right to do that? Our love is disgraceful and hidden in the dark. So how can they hold such a grand wedding?"

Sawyer saw the jealousy and hatred in Sissi's eyes, so he asked in a low voice, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Find a way to kill Amelia Ramsay!" Sissi blurted, "That way, the wedding will turn into a funeral. I'd like to see the expressions of those who will be attending the wedding then!"

This would also serve as the best punishment for the man that plagued Sissi with sadness for the rest of her life!

Sawyer casually asked as he heard this, "What about Patrick Hopper? How do you want me to deal with him?"

"Him? You don't have to punish him. He'll be nothing more than scraps once Amelia is dead."

Although this was something that Sissi was reluctant to admit, it was the truth.

When Patrick came alone to Streams Villa to bring Amelia back, Sissi realized that Amelia was the purpose of Patrick's life!

What a great solution!

A self- deprecating smile then appeared on Sawyer's face. Although Sissi said she loved Sawyer, she was still biased towards Patrick at the crunch time!
