"Amelia is my cousin?"
This time, Kaiden heard it clearly.
He took a step back in disbelief, accidentally knocked over the chair behind him, and stumbled.
After shaking for a while, he finally came to his senses and asked, "Patrick, what tricks are you playing again?"
Patrick said, "I know. You won't believe me if I say that. How about this? I'll call Amy now and ask her to tell you in person. You won't doubt her words, will you?"
Kaiden's face was ashen as he squeezed out, "No need, I'll call her myself!"
"Sure." Patrick didn't force him.
Next, Kaiden raised his hand and put it down again and again. Finally, he hesitated to take out his mobile phone from his pocket.
During this period, he had been staring at Patrick's face, trying to find something wrong with it. However, he failed. Patrick was so calm that he was waiting for him to make a call.
Hmph! He would make the call! He really didn't believe it!

The Ramsay Family.
When Kaiden called Amelia, she just came out of the bathroom. Seeing that her cell phone in the living room rang, Alice said to the bathroom, "Amelia, your cell phone is ringing!”
"Coming!" Amelia responded from afar and quickened her pace back to the living room.
"Is it from Patrick?” Alice asked casually.
"Let me have a look." Amelia picked up the phone, glanced at the caller, and replied, "It's not him, it's Kaiden.”
"Your handsome cousin?" Alice had a deep impression of Kaiden.
Amelia said softly, "Mm." Then she slid down the answer button, leaned over to her ear, and said, "Kaiden?"
The phone was connected, but there was an unspeakable silence on the other side.
Amelia frowned strangely and asked again, "Kaiden? Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me."
The youth's voice seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, which sounded dull.
Amelia asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I... Nothing." He seemed to take a deep breath. "I just want to ask you a question."
"What's the problem?" Amelia asked in a soft voice. Did he know something?
"I..." The youth stuttered, "I want to ask you, what exactly is the relationship between you and me?"
Amelia was stunned. "Who told you this? Is it Uncle Quartley or Aunt Ruth?"
Kaiden's voice tightened, and then he asked excitedly, "So, are you... really my cousin?"
At this point, Amelia was too lazy to deny it. "Yes, in terms of blood lineage, I am indeed
your cousin."
With a "bang", it was the sound of a Kaiden smashing something on the opposite side. After that, he asked in a trembling voice, "You're not lying to me?"
Through the phone, Amelia seemed to see the young man's sad and angry look. She sighed silently and said, "No."
"How could this be?! Why is it like this!" The youth's voice was full of dejection and disbelief.
Amelia quietly let him vent until—
"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
Feeling the bitterness in his words, Amelia replied with pity, "Kaiden, I'm sorry. I don't want to tell you because I don't want to have anything to do with the Home of Quartley. I don't mean to deceive your feelings. If you are really angry, you can scold me."
Upon hearing this, Kaiden twisted his tie and growled in a low voice, "Don't think that I'll believe whatever she says!"
Wasn't that the case?
He said that Amy was his cousin, and he almost jumped up to beat him. But when Amy admitted it on the phone, he immediately believed it. What was the point of being stubborn now?
''Believe it or not, why don't you judge after seeing her? Or are you afraid of seeing her because she is your cousin?"
Upon hearing this, Kaiden immediately blew up. "What am I afraid of!"
Patrick raised his eyebrows. "What are you afraid of? Are you sure you want me to tell you?"
"All right!" Kaiden's face turned red and he said angrily, "My mind is in a mess now. I want to calm down!"
Patrick nodded, indicating that he agreed.
Kaiden turned his head and left. He needed more than a moment of silence now. He needed to find a place to vent his anger!
Therefore, after leaving Roxxon Corporation, he drove straight to the Home of Quartley.
Even though he trusted Amelia, he still wanted to ask Ryan what was going on!

The Home of Quartley.
"Master, Mr. Wright is here."
When Ryan heard that Kaiden was here, he wanted to entertain him as usual. However, this young man was obviously in a bad mood. He was a little angry and complained. He asked subconsciously, "Kay, what's wrong with you?"
Taking advantage of the fact that there were only the two of them, Kaiden rushed out and said, "Uncle, we are straightforward people who don't resort to insinuations. Is Amelia your daughter?"
Ryan was stunned for a moment before he understood. "You already know? No wonder..."
