If Hassan had mentioned this at that time, Amelia would probably have gone crazy with excitement.
But now, the turning point of "poor" had passed. Who could come out to fight in the face of 15 billion? Perhaps there was, but that person was currently imprisoned.
After figuring out Hassan's intention, Amelia was too lazy to deal with him. "You want to get into the stock? How much money do you have?"
"Only about ten million." Hassan pretended to be modest.
"Oh, that's not enough."
Hassan choked with anger and said, "My niece... Aren't you too arrogant?"
Amelia asked wistfully, "Do you want to know how much Roxxon Corporation used to buy Apex Construction Corporation?"
Hassan held his breath subconsciously. "How much?”
"Fifteen billion."
The plain words of Amelia pressed on Hassan's heart like a heavy mountain!
He muttered to himself for quite a while before saying, "This is... too much!"
Everyone knew that Apex Construction Corporation was an empty shell now! There were no talents and projects. Patrick was crazy for not lowering the price to purchase it but bought it at a sky-high price!
Though he was complaining, Hassan's voice showed a fever of enthusiasm, "My niece, please tell me if Mr. Patrick still has feelings for you because we are all relatives."
Amelia glanced at Patrick and said, "Of course, he loves me, or he wouldn't have taken up this mess."
Hearing that, the corners of Patrick's mouth curled up. He held up her other hand and gave it a kiss.
As soon as he got the answer from Amelia,
Hassan immediately became excited.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, she said coldly, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy. I won't allow my man to let you buy the stock as you're only someone who can share wealth but not misfortune together.
Did you hear of Kaleb? My father took pity on him and raised him in the company like a riceworm. Later, Apex Construction Corporation suffered a lot of losses because of him.
Now my father and I are both afraid, so we unanimously decided not to let any relatives get involved with the Apex Construction Corporation.
If any of the Green family members have the same thought as you, then please also tell them the same thing. Well, I’m done. Do you have anything else to say?"
As soon as Amelia put down the phone, Patrick asked, "Someone is bothering you?"
"Well, as expected." Amelia thought for a moment and added, "It was Alice's cousin who said that he wanted to invest more than
10 million in the Apex Construction Corporation, but I refused."
Patrick was very satisfied. "Well done. If you need money in the future, just tell me. There's no need to let anyone buy the share."
"Ha!" Amelia covered her mouth and laughed. "Have you forgotten that Apex Construction Corporation is now yours?"
Patrick stared at her and said meaningfully, "Well, that's good. No one except me is allowed to get involved in Apex Construction Corporation."
*
Two days later.
Patrick brought Amelia out to meet someone.
It was a middle-aged woman, dressed plainly and with the local accent.
The meeting place was a western restaurant. The woman was forced to come by Patrick's people.
After ordering a set menu for the woman, Patrick's people secretly monitored her.
Grace said, "She's one of my friends. At that time, she said that her mother-in-law disliked her child as she was a little girl. She refused to raise her child and insisted that she threw it away. She couldn't do anything about it, so she asked me to... do that."
Patrick narrowed his eyes. "What, what is that?"
Grace stuttered, "To... get rid of her!"
Anger surged up in Patrick's heart, but his tone grew softer. "What's the name of the person who asked you to get rid of the girl? Is she in touch with you now?"
Grace said, "She's called Safa. We haven't contacted each other for a long time! She was the one who initiated the contact before. I don't know where she is now, but if I remember correctly, she should be a... nanny or butler for someone in Northville?"
Safa? Northville? Nanny? Butler?
Amelia's heart suddenly beat faster, and the words Sawyer had said to her at the banquet suddenly popped up in her mind—
[Dad did not have an affair with other women. In fact, your mom is a servant of the Home of Quartley.]
Patrick asked, "Do you still remember how this 'Safa' looks like?"
Grace nodded, "If we meet face to face, I'll definitely recognize her."
"As long as you can recognize her," answered Patrick with a smile.
Grace could not help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw his smile. "Well, how am I doing?"
"Mmm, not bad," said Patrick.
Grace didn't understand what he meant, but she had heard "Mmm" clearly. It seemed that the man in front of her was still satisfied with her answer.
"Then... can I go back now?" Grace asked eagerly.
Patrick was still smiling. "Grace, we still need you to stay in Northville for a while until you can help us find the woman named Safa."
