"I was going to ask what do you think you're doing!" Anxious, Amelia pressed the emergency alarm, looked at Kaleb angrily, and asked. "What did you say to my father? He was so angry that he got sick!" Aggrieved, Kaleb replied, "My dear niece, your father is excited instead of angry because I brought him the good news!"

"What happened?" Just before Amelia was about to lose control, Gilbert's attending doctor arrived in time.

He gently pushed Amelia's shoulder, bringing her attention back to Gilbert.

Amelia babbled, "Doctor Hugh, when I came in, I saw my father rolling his eyes and shaking his hands. You, don't just watch. Hurry up and save my father somehow!"

Doctor Hugh hurried to put the listening device to his ear and said seriously to her, "Okay. Don't worry. I'll check your father now."

Fortunately, Doctor Hugh was experienced in dealing with incidents like this. He wrapped

a stick with clean gauzes and placed it in Gilbert's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue. Then he lifted Gilbert's head slightly and signaled the young nurse with his eyes to give the patient an injection. After a long time, Gilbert calmed down. Amelia collapsed at the wall behind her, exhausted. She was so terrified just now... She was afraid that Gilbert would just pass away like that.

She shook her head, getting the ominous thought out of her mind, and glared at Kaleb as she said with suppressed anger, "Come out with me!"

Ordered by his niece like that, Kaleb had an irritated look on his wretched face. "Bah! She's just a nobody in the Ramsay Family. How dare she be so rude to me?" thought Kaleb. Bitterly, he followed up, but when he met Amelia's cold watery eyes, he put on a hypocritical, friendly face. "Amelia, do you have anything to say to me by asking me to come here?"

Noting that he was trying to remind her that he was her uncle, Amelia wished she could punch him. She clenched her little fists and asked, "You said you've brought good news to my dad. I'd like to know what kind of good news it is!"

"Oh, that!" Kaleb raised his chin slightly and said with complacency, "It's not a big deal to tell you. In the voting of the board this morning, we all agreed that Daniel is our next chairman... Next week, he will officially take over all of your father's responsibilities and all his rights to run the Apex Construction Corporation!"

"Wait a minute!" Amelia couldn't help but interrupt. "My father is not dead yet, and you can't wait to hand over the Ramsay Family's company to an outsider?"

Kaleb laughed in a low voice and looked at Amelia's unceremoniously. "Amelia, please think about it with your brain. How could your father continue to be our chairman now? What will our clients think? They will think that there are no more talents in our company, and we could only rely on an old, dying man. Don't you think others will laugh at us?"

The look in Amelia's eyes changed. "Kaleb! Watch your mouth!"

Kaleb said thoughtfully, "Amelia, I know that you care about Apex. But you're not going to take it over, nor do you capable enough to do so. You can't forbid others from getting it just because you can't get it yourself. Do you know how many employees and families are there depending on Apex?

I said it before. If you're better than Daniel in talent and ability, I totally agree with you taking over the company. Otherwise, you'd better hold tight your remaining shares of the company and keep your mouth shut. After all, you can get a lot of dividends from the company every year!"

Amelia was gritting her teeth. For a long time, Daniel had only been the manager. Amelia had thought that no matter how snobbish Kaleb was, he should at least understand that they should never hand their power to an outsider.

As a result, he was as stupid as Brittany! A few compliments and short-term interests from Daniel were enough to turn them unscrupulous and made them Daniel's super followers. This also showed how formidable Daniel was.

Before they knew it, there was no one else to stop him from devouring the Ramsay Family's wealth for years!

On the way home, Amelia took out her phone, trying to ask Jessica out, only to hear Jessica mumbling, "Amelia, I... I'm busy at my shop. I may not be available to meet you today." Pretending not to know it, Amelia said in surprise, "You've gotten your shop back? Congratulations!"

Jessica held her breath. "Ah? Amelia, I'm sorry. I thought Mr. Patrick would tell you. Besides... I was so busy that I forgot..."

Forgot?

Amelia still remembered that one and a half months ago, when her foot hadn't been injured, Jessica had called Patrick and asked him to give her apartment and shop back. Amelia had been waiting for an entire month and a half for Jessica to call her and share the news along with her happiness...

A little discouraged, Amelia blinked her eyes and asked tentatively, "Jessica, since you've got your hands full at your shop, do you need me to help you?"

"No need!" This time, Jessica answered instantly, "Sierra is crying. Maybe she's hungry. I'm going to make her some milk. Later, Amelia."

"Oh, later then," Amelia replied, disappointed.

Jessica, who was in her cafe shop, didn't keep cleaning the table after hanging up the phone. Instead, she sat down on the sofa and looked out of the window in a daze. She knew that Amelia must have noticed the coldness in her voice, but Jessica should be the one to blame...

She couldn't face Amelia in a short time. Although it was her mother's fault, Jessica was the one staying in Northville and being humiliated!

At the Land of Fragrance.

Amelia took out her key and was about to open the door when a young deliveryman's voice came from the door. "Excuse me, but is Mr. Patrick Hopper home?" Turning around, Amelia shook her head. "No, he hasn't got off work yet."

"Oh, so you're his...?"

"I am his family." Amelia found herself more and more comfortable with the answer.

"Could you please sign your name here? It's almost the end of the year. I'm in a hurry to deliver other goods."

"Alright, give it to me." Amelia went forward and took the package and pen from the deliveryman through the gate. When she saw the name of the sender, she froze. "Miss?" The guy had no idea why she suddenly went still.

"Oh, a minute!" Collecting herself, Amelia jotted down her name. The deliveryman tore off the receipt and returned the package to Amelia.

After watching the delivery guy leave, Amelia looked down again. After making sure that the sender was Sissi Roberts, she couldn't help but let out a cold smile.
