Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 793

With Jonathan's approving sight, Amelia raised her hands and clapped a few times. She then said to Kaleb "Your boldness is really a role model we should look up to! Okay then, let's do what you say. We're going to solve it officially!"

Kaleb was being modest after being praised but in fact, he was feeling proud inside. When had he ever been favoured by The Ramsay Family?

In the past, Amelia's father recruited him into the Apex Construction Corporation because he had nothing to do.

Although he was a member of the board, he had no actual power. Although no one said it out loud, they might regard him as a good-for-nothing in the dark.

After when Amelia's father got sick and was admitted, Daniel then took over the place of the chairperson. He thought that he could control Daniel but he could not.

While compared to his cousin, there seemed to be sinisterness within Daniel's shrewdness and it was really well-hidden.

In the end, he could only pretend to be obedient and wait for Daniel to make a mistake that would end his

career.

As a matter of fact, Daniel had indeed brought destruction upon himself. However, the person waiting for him was the next leader of The Ramsay Family, Amelia.

Although Amelia had done a lot of things behind his back, she had taken his proposal without hesitation, hadn't she?

Due to being ignored and denied for a long time, Kaleb felt like he was on cloud nine when he received a single sentence of acknowledgement.

But no matter how happy he was, he would never forget his ultimate goal which was to get Amelia expelled from the Apex Construction Corporation, and take over the whole corporation!

Amelia would never have imagined that her agreeing to Kaleb would stir up such a storm in Kaleb's heart.

Amelia waited until Kaleb put down the empty teacup with satisfaction and leave along with his men before her smile turned into a sneer and cursed in her heart, "What the h*ll!"

All these people kept on coming wave by wave and all of them were with bad intentions, how could she still maintain her positive mindset.

She sat down beside Jonathan and asked in a trustworthy tone, "Uncle Tucker, what do you think

Kaleb means?"

Jonathan was leisurely sipping his tea. When he heard Amelia's words, he lifted his eyes and looked at her. "Why don't you tell me what were you thinking first, President Ramsay?"

Amelia knew that Jonathan was like her master who taught her everything. After all, just being taught with the theories was not good enough. She needed to be given the chance to practice and try it out herself.

Amelia put away her joking attitude and said seriously, "I think he wants to make things worse for me!"

The corners of Jonathan's lips curled up as he blew on his tea. "Hmm? Please elaborate more..."

Amelia then said, "Uncle Tucker, just think it about, the process of dealing with it officially is much more complicated than dealing with it privately. We might even receive a lawsuit for this! With that being said, it is still acceptable for me but, dealing with water pollution isn't easy, we can't just replace all the polluted water with a barrel of clean water. It takes a country a few decades to deal with it, let alone asking a company to solve it along with the officials. If we were to take up the project, I would need to carry the burden of being pressurized by the officers and I would still need to take care of the project in the east zone. Even if I'm still young, working like this would definitely make my hair fall off sooner or later."

Upon hearing Amelia's complaints, Jonathan looked at her with caring eyes and asked, "Since you know about everything, why did you agree with Kaleb's proposal?"

Amelia's eyes widened. "Didn't you shake your head and signal me not to deal with the officers from the Environmental Protection Bureau privately? If I can't solve it in private, the only choice left would be to work with the officials."

Jonathan then asked, "So, you just did Kaleb a favour just now?"

Amelia touched the tip of her nose and answered, "Yeah, I think he looks really happy. I guess he will not causing me any trouble for the time being."

Jonathan smiled and then changed the subject. "President Ramsay, do you know why I asked you to deal with it officially?"

Of course, Amelia did not know why. "I don't know."

The corner of Jonathan's mouth twitched into a smile. "Because I suspect... things aren't as simple as it seems."

Amelia's heart skipped a beat. She was on the verge of tears. Why couldn't these plots and traps just stay away from her and let her live her life peacefully?

To tell the truth, she really hoped that she lived in a dream instead of the real world. "Uncle Tucker, isn't this just a pollution issue? What's wrong with it? Didn't the officers of the Environmental Protection Bureau came to our door through the source of the pollution..."

Jonathan looked at her in disappointment and said, "President Ramsay, you have to calm yourself and think thoroughly before you come to a conclusion. You can't just believe what others say!"

"But..." Amelia's heart was still holding a trace of hope. "But they're the authority..."

"Since they're the authority then they wouldn't lie?" Jonathan slammed his index finger on the table as if he was knocking on Amelia's head.

Amelia was annoyed and she pulled her hair. She wanted to solve this problem with money but Jonathan told her that it was a fraud!

In other words, she might not be able to solve the problem with money. In an instant, she looked listless.

"Uncle Tucker, can you please tell me how did you found that there something wrong with this matter?"

"What did the officers from the Environmental

Protection Bureau said was the main cause of the pollution?" Jonathan asked.

"Well, it's because too many leftovers were dumped into the river."

"Yes! But President Ramsay, have you ever thought that when Apex Construction Corporation was at its peak before your father was admitted, the number of employees was 30% more compared to the number of employees now. The canteen would need to prepare the food the same amount as they do back then right? Now that we have lesser employees, how can we produce that many leftovers?"

Amelia looked contemplative. "What you said do make sense."

"In the heyday of the corporation, there was no such things as excessive waste emission. President Ramsay, do you think now..." Jonathan wished to speak but he stopped on second thought.

While listening to Jonathan's speculation, Amelia became so nervous that her mouth felt dry. At this moment, her brain started thinking and she blurted, "Is it possible that there is a blockage in the underground pipe leading to the river from the staff canteen... No, no, no, if there's a blockage, all the waste will be stuck in the underground pipe, and there is no way that the emission would exceed the standards... Then..." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Amelia kept making speculations but soon she denied her own speculation. An outsider would have thought she was either a lunatic or a fool but Jonathan was happy to hear her speculation. Sometimes he frowned and sometimes he would smile at her as she made her speculation.

In the end, Amelia startled and said, "Someone was intentionally framing us!"

The next second, the door was swung open and Audrey's voice could be heard. "Tea is ready!"

Right at this moment, Amelia was totally immersed in her own world. After listening to her analysis for a long time, Jonathan estimated that she would be thirsty so he waved towards Audrey and asked her to bring the tea to her.
