Chapter 21
After all, Brittany was still a college student and there was a long way to go. She said angrily,
"Amelia, don''t try to provoke dissension between Daniel and me. Daniel''s today''s position may not
be as high as Patrick''s, but dad will promote him in thepany and he is destined to take off!"
Amelia was slightly stunned. As the elder daughter of the Bai Family, she was the most likely to take
over George''spany. She was once worried about how to operate the huge business her
parents invested in.
Then she met Daniel, whose specialty matches that of Apex Construction Corporation under the
Ramsay Family.
Therefore, she rmended him to be employed by Apex. If necessary, she can even authorise
him to execute.
But now, Apex seemed to be in the hands of Daniel and Brittany, while Amelia got marginalised.
Money, in the eyes of Amelia, was merely worldly.
What she was unreconciled to was that her mom contributed a lot to the entity, so why was it
transferred to no one else but her enemy?
As it was approaching to lunch hour, George hoped his daughter and son-inw could stay for lunch
with them, so he tried to persuade Patrick first as he knew clearly that as long as Patrick agreed to
stay, Amelia would never say no.
After a the strong tea for the whole morning, Patrick felt a bit of stomachache. Upon his father-in-
law''s invitation, Patrick nodded and agreed, "Thanks for keeping us for lunch."
George was overwhelmed. "Hey, we''re family. Why do you talk like an outsider?"
When Amelia came out of the washroom, intending to tell Patrick to leave, she frowned upon
hearing his decision to stay for lunch.
The couple looked at each other from two sides and it seemed that Patrick had felt what his wife
felt. He patted his belly with a pitiful look in his eyes.
"I''m hungry." Patrick opened and closed his thin lips, as if he meant to tell her.
George nervously looked at Amelia as if Patrick and he were tortured by her. She asked in anger,
"Haven''t we started the meal yet?"
The young guys quickly sat beside the table while the parents went into the kitchen for the food.
Gazing at this scene, Amelia pretended to be indifferent, but she could not stop feeling miserable in
her deep heart.
Finally, all the dishes were ready. George took two mouths of Moutai Liquor and said to Amelia in a
fatherly manner, "My dear, daddy still remembers that the sweet and sour pork ribs was your
favourite dish when you were a little child and today I made it for you. Just try and hope you still like
it."
Brittany, who sat next to Alice, was so jealous of that and her eyes were filled with envy as her dad
had never been this kind to her. She gently tugged the bottom of Alice''s blouse and said in a
resentful tone,
"Mom, look at daddy! He has never done this to me!"
Alice patted Brittany, indicating that she should bear with her dad''s partiality for Amelia.
Sweet and sour pork ribs...
The dishes made by her father were cherished by Amelia when she was young. But after her mom''s
suicide due to her dad''s affairs with Alice, no matter what delicacies he cooked, she couldn''t feel
more disgusted.
Amelia picked up a piece of rib with chopsticks, which was still steaming, but put it into Patrick''s
bowl, meaning that he''d taste it for her.
George could''t hide his disappointment at Amelia''s indifference, only drank the liquor with
depression.
Patrick raised his eyebrows and ate it.

The Family was alienated, but he didn''t care. After all, apart from the "nominal husband", he was
not someone to them.
"George, take care. This liquor is really strong." Alice was worried about her husband.
"It''s alright. I''m so happy today as my daughter and son-inw are here!" George said with a bitter
smile.
Brittany held her chopsticks in fingers tightly with anger. It wasn''t any reunion dinner at all but bore
Amelia''s cross!
"Daddy, mommy and my dearest brother-inw, I''m done with the lunch. Take your time and enjoy!"
