Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 219

Brittany's nails were sunk deep into the couch and she was like a little beast that could jump up and bite George at any moment.

As for George's preaching, she couldn't listen to it at all and even gave birth to the idea that George favored Amelia.

After looking at Brittany's resentful face, Daniel shook his head under his breath and said to George, "It's Brittany who misunderstood Amelia because she didn't think this through, and seeing as it's her first offense, can you forgive her this time?"

After a pause, Daniel softly advised Brittany, "Tell your dad you're sorry, there's no need to be embarrassed."

Brittany struggled for a moment, reluctantly uttering under Daniel's insistent gaze:" I'm sorry, Dad."

Until George had gone up to the second floor for rest that Daniel relaxed a bit, hanging out with a blabbering woman like Brittany, Daniel was sure that he would get in trouble because of her someday.

"Hey!" Brittany twisted Daniel's arm in exasperation and said angrily, "Why didn't you stop me from going on when my dad just came behind me?"

After George's absence, Brittany began to regain her former poise.

Daniel looked askance at his reddened arm and said covertly, "I just took coughing as a hint, but you've been yelling at your sister yourself for not noticing me.

Brittany pondered, smiling apologetically, "Yeah, you really did. Daniel, I misunderstood you."

Daniel took the opportunity to educate her: "Amelia has been without a mother since she was a child, your dad must have pity for her in his heart, don't scold your sister at home, be careful not to annoy your dad, he probably will leave all his future assets to Amelia, not a penny left for you!"

Brittany didn't think so, "My dad wouldn't want to do that to me and my mom."

Daniel was skeptical, "It's hard to tell how things happen."

Brittany said easily, "You don't have to worry about me, Dad has hidden everything important to him for most of his life in one place... and this place, I know where it is!"

The implication is that even if George had wanted to save his entire fortune and leave it to Amelia, Brittany could have prevented it from happening.

Daniel was curious, "Where?"

"Why do you ask?" Brittany looked askance at him and probed, "Could it be... that you want my father's property too?"

"Brittany Ramsay!"Daniel called her by her full name, proving that he was a little angry, "Is that how I look to you?"

Brittany knew she'd said something wrong: "Oops! Look at my words, that's not what I meant!"

"So what do you mean?" Daniel looked at her indifferently, wanting her to explain.

Brittany sweet-talked, "I mean, my dad is your dad, and of course you have a piece of our family's property."

Daniel turned his head ungratefully, ignoring her.

"Okay Daniel, don't be mad at me!" Brittany leaned all over Daniel's arms and rubbed against him, "It's no big deal to tell you, you've been in my dad's study, right? He's got a famous painting on the wall, and if you lift up that painting, you can see a safe hidden behind it..."

"Oh?" Daniel had a plan in mind, but his face didn't look different, "How did you find out?"

Brittany laughed twice in pride: "Since I was a child, the study would be locked all day when no one was in it. My dad also warned me to stay out of the study less, but I was naughty as a kid and once snuck in while his study was still unlocked, and as a result, when I was about to come out of it, I found it locked from the outside by my dad. I got bored, so I spent the afternoon rummaging around in there, and I ended up accidentally find this safe!"

Daniel pinched Brittany's pretty nose, "You little mouse."

"I don't want to be a mouse!" Brittany said petulantly.

Daniel suddenly said, "I'm wondering why your dad hid the safe so tightly."

Brittany shrugged, "Who knows, it's probably got some valuable treasure in it."

Daniel was a smart and disciplined guy who didn't think things through the way as Brittany did. There were many insurance companies out there, why didn't George just leave his treasure there, where it was safe and secure, but he covered it up tightly himself?

He couldn't help but think back to the time George was in the hospital, when he went to visit him and overheard George and Alice talking at the door of his room, saying that if Amelia ever found out the truth, she'd change her mind about George ...

The truth? What is the truth? Where is the truth? Do it relate to the safe in the study?

In the coffee shop downstairs of the Roxxon Corporation.

Amelia was waiting in her seat, stood up somewhat abruptly when she saw a refined middle-aged man approaching in broad strides, "Howard, you're here." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Well." Howard looked serious as he waved his hand and let Amelia sit down, taking his seat afterward, "Don't be nervous, I didn't ask you out here to badger you, it's just that I'm the head of my family and there are some things I have to figure out, you understand?"

"Of course!" Amelia has always had respect for Howard, calmed down and took it upon herself to tell the truth about the origins of her scandalous photoshoot with Shawn.

Howard chimed in, "I don't doubt Patrick's ability to deal with it at all, it's just that on his mother's side..."

Observing the annoyance on his face, Amelia said knowingly, "I'm making this difficult for you in front of Eve, aren't I? I got it, I'll go back to The Hopper's house after work and apologize to Eve myself."

Howard looked up at her, "Would that be too much for you?"

Amelia shook her head, "Eve is justifiably angry this time, even if she yells at me, I don't feel aggrieved, and I'm sure she won't be so angry if I explain it."

Howard breathed a sigh of relief, " Thank you, Amelia."

In fact, he asked her out because he wanted to persuade her to explain to Eve, but he knew that she had a grudge against Eve and was thinking of how to get the conversation started. Unexpectedly, Amelia immediately went along with what he was saying without making it difficult for him at all

After they finished their conversation, Amelia was trying to pay for the two coffees they had when something was thrown at her face from the front left, well her reflexes were now trained and she

ducked her head to avoid the object.

"Screech!" There was the sound of something shattering and Amelia concentrated on the fact that it was a glass that was about to hit her!
