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 rxed a bit, hanging out with a


    bbering 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 ce... and this ce, 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 exin.


    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 n in mind, but his face didn''t look different, "How did you find out?"


    Brittanyughed 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 toe 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 identally find this safe!"


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


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


    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."


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Daniel was a smart and disciplined guy who didn''t think things through the way as Brittany did.


    There were many insurancepanies 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 rte 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."


    "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 exin it."


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


    In fact, he asked her out because he wanted to persuade her to exin 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 ss that was about to hit her!
