Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 96

Since the accident, Eve had become more sensitive. When Patrick seemed to reject her request, she got annoyed immediately and said, "No way! I require you to pick me personally!"

Patrick was in a panic. At the same time, Amelia's taxi had completely gone. He agreed sullenly and drove to the emergency center.

In a Chinese restaurant famous for spicy food, a cold-faced lady, led by a waiter, came to the man with a gentle smile and a pair of gold- rimmed glasses.

Amelia glanced at him. In his gentle and clear eyes, she sat opposite him with a poker face.

Daniel tried to break the ice and said, "My dear, I still remember you like spicy food most, so I reserved a table here. I hope you like it."

Amelia didn't seem to appreciate it and said, "Daniel, let's come straight to the point."

Daniel asked with some melancholy, "Aren't you tired of seeing me?"

Amelia snorted and said sarcastically, "Correct."

Daniel's fist tightened, but he quickly let it go and came to the point, "Apex is facing a strong competitor, which was just established like 5 years ago but seem to be paralleled with Apex. But recently, dad isn't in an ideal condition, and the young generation hasn't grown up to handle the issues arose. I have a big and potential project. If it is completed, Apex will pioneer the industry again."

Amelia asked straight, "What can I do for Apex?"

Talking to a person with high IQ saves a lot of time and energy. Compared to Amelia, Brittany was too young and naive. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Daniel looked at Amelia with appreciation and said, "Recently, we've bid a piece of land and I can get the human and material resources ready, but we're stuck by the government who hasn't issued the permit. You know, dad has never ingratiated himself with those government officials but it really matters. Thinking twice, I think Patrick is the only one who can help."

Amelia revealed his thought, "You want Patrick's grandfather to sort it out for you, isn't it?"

Patrick's grandfather had a high status in the central government. As long as he ordered, no one dared to refuse.

With his intentions revealed, Daniel simply nodded and said, "If he can, well succeed."

But Amelia seemed to reject this request and said, "Daniel, you think too highly of me. Patrick's grandfather isn't around in Northville currently. Even if he is, I dare not make such a request."

"Why?" Daniel asked.

Amelia explained, "First of all, you haven't told me where this land was, how large it is, any old residential area nearby and the residents may protest the demolition, etc. Secondly, since Apex is suffering a loss, how will you guarantee the capital? A debt will never work."

Daniel seemed to be in a deep thought for a while and said, "Don't worry. As long as dad still works, my plan will be reviewed and then approved by him."

Amelia's original intention was to test him but Daniel didn't dare to make any mistakes when George is sick.

Since George had approved, Amelia wouldn't disagree.

To be honest, Amelia didn't want to owe Patrick a favour, but when she thought of her mother's misery, she wouldn't want the excellence achieved by George to be broken, so she said, "I will talk to Patrick about this."

"Great!" Daniel laughed. With all the dishes had been served, Daniel said, "Some wine to celebrate the success of Apex?"

Amelia shook her head, unwilling to get close to Daniel and said, "No, thanks. Daniel, remember, I'm helping Apex, not you!"

As soon as she finished her sentence, she was about to get up and leave when Daniel suddenly looked at her with a complication and said, "May I remind you that Patrick has always had another sweetheart, so you don't have to fall in love with him."

Hearing this, Amelia looked at Daniel, which made his smile warmer, as if he really cared about her.

She asked anxiously, "Another sweetheart? Tell me!"

Daniel laughed mockingly and said, "When it comes to Patrick, you get excited. Aren't you in a hurry to leave?"

Without noticing Daniel's real intention, Amelia said, "Otherwise, I'm leaving."

Feeling a little frustrated, Daniel grabbed Amelia's arm and said, "Right away!"

This grab made Amelia feel sick, so she quickly got rid of him and warned him with her eyes not to touch her.

Realising his mistake and having a sip of the tea, Daniel said, "I have a college classmate, whose elder brother was in the same high school as Patrick. It is said that Patrick used to date with an

intern teacher beyond morality and taboo. Later, the intern teacher got married with someone else overseas."

After Amelia left, Daniel asked the waiter to serve him a bottle of brandy. He swayed the wine in his glass and smiled meaningfully.

Breaking up with Amelia was just his first step to take revenge on The Ramsay Family. When he officially took over Apex, The Ramsay Family would fall unreversed.

The reason why he told Amelia about Patrick's past was of course that he didn't want to see the couple living sweetly. If he wasn't happy, no one would be able to live a good life!

At the Land of Fragrance.

When Amelia arrived at home with worries, she saw Patrick sitting on the sofa and the wall lamp reflected his indifferent side face, which made her feel unprecedentedly strange.

How much did she know about Patrick?

Originally, she thought he was a man with definite indifference. After Daniel's reminding, she realised that he wasn't indifferent at all, but the attention wasn't paid to her.

From high school to college till now, "that woman" witnessed the three most important turning points in Patrick's life. Even if he was married, could he forget "that woman"?

No, he couldn't...

There was a voice in her heart that couldn't be suppressed.

"Hey, good evening."

Having noticed the door and hearing the sound of Amelia taking off her high heels, Patrick transferred his attention from the TV to her, got up, and walked towards her.
