Chapter 813
Chapter 813
The date that Alice mentioned was very close to the date when Kiara came to work, which left Amelia even more bewildered. "Aunt Alice, have you realized that the date you said is exactly the same as the time Daniel was sent to prison?"
After being reminded by Amelia, Alice was shocked and said, "That's true!" After a pause, Alice said thoughtfully, "But... Amelia, please don't mind what I'm trying to say."
"Well! Please go on."
"Those servants who left are all those who took care of Brittany and Daniel. I think it's possible that they think that Daniel has lost his power and influence, and you're now in power. They're afraid that you'll retaliate after you take over The Ramsay Family, so they simply resign."
It appeared that this was the only reason...
Amelia was amused at her own suspiciousness. Daniel was in jail. What was with all these useless thoughts?
She then said, "By the way, I came over because I want to rest here tonight."
She would not go back until Patrick withdrew the command of sacking Huxton.
Upon hearing this, Alice happily said, "Okay." After that, she felt a little strange and asked, "Amelia, did you... have a fight with Patrick?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The reason why she threw this question at her was that she could tell that Amelia was not in the mood to be home and looked anxious.
Amelia made no attempt to conceal. After sitting down with Alice, she said with a suppressed voice, "Yes, I don't see eye to eye with him about certain things. I have no choice but to move out
temporarily."
She did not take any extra clothes with her although she had moved out. Patrick had said that if she did not dismiss Huxton, she would never be allowed to enter the Land of Fragrance.
To be honest, it was hard for her to understand why Patrick would treat Huxton like that. Whether it was the butler or the bodyguard, Huxton played every role very well. He was so excellent that she thought Huxton should be there as soon as she went home. He was like a shadow, inconspicuous yet so important.
What Amelia did not know was that Patrick had been keeping this in mind for a long time. He had thought of dismissing Huxton before. If it were not for Amelia's persuasion and the mention of Scarlett,
Patrick would have peacefully laid Huxton off without any reason.
Considering Patrick's possessive nature, it was rare for him to be able to stand Amelia living with another guy for such a long time, and it happened that she was getting more and more concerned about Huxton. Even though she thought of him as a friend, he still could not bear to see her paying attention to another man!
Once a person endured something for too long, he would probably go insane. On top of that, Patrick was used to doing whatever he wanted. This way of revenge was going to be even more extraordinary.
Hearing that Amelia wanted to move out temporarily, Alice said without thinking, "Don't go anywhere else. Just stay here as long as you like!"
Hearing this, Amelia was somewhat satisfied. Although The Ramsay Family was her natal family, Amelia and The Ramsay Family had been estranged from each other for years. But right this
moment she hearing what Alice said, she suddenly felt a sense of belonging.
Soon, Alice realized that there was nothing but only a leather bag beside Amelia.
She could not help asking, "Amelia, where's your luggage? Is it still in the car? I asked someone to get it for you..."
Amelia hurriedly said, "I left home in a hurry and haven't had time to pick up my luggage."
"I see..." Alice nodded. Seeing Amelia's weary face, she supposed that she had not had time to take a shower. She then kindly said "How about this? Let's go to Brittany's bedroom and I'll get a set of clean clothes for you. As for others... we will get them tomorrow?"
Speaking of Brittany, Amelia could not help but ask, "How's Brittany now?"
Alice's smile froze. After a while, she said, "Well, it's not good..."
"Why is that so? " Amelia knew that Brittany had a miscarriage, but she needed to know more about the specific situation.
Alice sighed and said, "The first thing she did when she was out of the hospital was to ask me to find a way to let her meet Daniel. However, I contacted the police station that locked up Daniel many times. At first, they didn't want to say much, but later on, a policeman revealed that Daniel was secretly sent to the hospital to receive treatment because of tuberculosis. There was no way to arrange for him to meet everyone, after some time, Brittany ended up feeling depressed. Oh yeah! I was scared that Britanny might think too much, which was why I didn't dare to tell her about Daniel's illness. She
couldn't stand another blow."
The story that Amelia was learning was quite similar to what Officer Lewis had told her last time. It was just that the treatment for Daniel's tuberculosis had been a bit too long.
But on second thought, she felt relieved again.
Daniel was brought up in clover. He had been loved and pampered by The Ramsay Family, which made him a spoilt toff. With his current physical condition, he must have not been able to stand the terrible condition in the prison and fell sick. Perhaps he had been given some 'treatment' by other inmates as he entered the prison.
Thinking about it, with Daniel's cunning nature, it was possible that he intentionally delayed his illness and wanted to lie down comfortably in the hospital with nurses serving him.
However, it was impossible for Amelia to say these words in front of Alice. "Aunt Alice, shouldn't you call her friends to accompany her now?"
Alice smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, but they are all fair-weather friends. Some of them even said that they would take Brittany to the nightclub to have fun so as not to be a widow. I was so angry that I lost my temper on the spot and kicked them out!"
Amelia nodded and said, "Don't even bother having such a friend."
Alice looked at Amelia eagerly and cautiously. She asked, "Can you help me persuade Brittany?"
"Me?" said Amelia, feeling uneasy. "I don't think I can do it. You've witnessed the fight between Brittany and me since I was young. She will do whatever that I don't allow her to do. Aunt Alice, are you sure you want me to talk to her?"
Alice held Amelia's hand and said with a determined look, "I believe in you!"
Upon hearing that, Amelia said, "Fine. Is she in the room now? I'll go and find her!"
Alice said in a worried voice, "Actually, Brittany has been sleeping in Daniel's room since she left the hospital. If not, she won't be able to fall asleep."
Amelia was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that Brittany was so infatuated with Daniel.
What would Brittany think if she found out that Daniel had hooked up with another woman behind her back since long ago?
