Chapter 437


    Patrick looked down at her. "The Ramsays want to shackle Daniel, but getting him and Brittany


    engaged is not enough. The best way is to get them married so that Daniel would finally be a


    member of the Ramsay Family."


    Amelia frowned. "Can''t we tell everyone Daniel''s true color and drive him out of Apex?"


    "You think everyone is looking forward to seeing Daniel ruined as you do? How many employees


    does Apex have? They are all counting on making a fortune from Daniel''s project. Not to mention


    Brittany. She''s a typical fool in love. Even if you catch Daniel redhanded, can you guarantee that


    Brittany is going to break off the engagement?"


    "To say the least, even if you expel Daniel as you like, someone else will soon take over the


    company. Are you sure that the new leader would be a man of integrity? Don''t forget that business


    people are greedy by nature. Even a child knows they are profiteers."


    "You''re right!" Amelia was enlightened by Patrick''s analysis. She began to look for her cell phone.


    "I''ll call Alice now!"


    Patrick raised his eyebrows. "Alice?" Amelia said smoothly, "Alice Green! My stepmother!" Patrick


    scrutinized her face. "Don''t you always hate her? When did you be the first-name basis?"


    They stared at each other for a few seconds before Amelia broke eye contact first. "With so many


    things happened to my dad this year, Alice has never given up on him. She even moved to the


    hospital to take care of him all the time. I... I can''t... hate her anymore!"


    "I don''t feel it fair for my dead mother if I call Alice her name, but I can''t hate her as I used to do.


    Yes, I can''t forgive her for what she has done to my mother, but I''m also thankful for her love for my


    father..."


    Hearing her, Patrick narrowed his eyes. His feeling was almost the same as that of Amelia. On the


    one hand, he hated Howard''s betrayal of Eve. On the other hand, he couldn''t pretend that Howard


    was not his father. Whether he should choose to hate him or forgive him had always been the


    reason for his recent sleeplessness.


    Noting his sudden silence, Amelia blinked and asked, "Mr. Hopper, what''s wrong?"


    "Nothing." Patrick gave her a smile, not wanting his negative feelings to get to her.


    As expected, Amelia didn''t pay much to it. She picked up the phone she had just spotted and said


    to Patrick, "I''ll call her and ask when Daniel and Brittany will hold the wedding."


    Finding no reluctance on her face, Patrick turned up the corner of his eyes and said, "Okay."


    The phone rang.


    "Hello, Amelia?"


    "Er, Al..." Amelia found it too difficult to call her as Alice, so she skipped this address and asked


    directly, "Are you avable now? I want to discuss something with you."


    "Sure. I just came back from the hospital. I am going to take a bath and get changed before going


    back."


    "Well, here''s the thing. Brittany and Daniel have been engaged for almost half a year, and Brittany is


    old enough to get married. So I have been thinking that since Daniel is off at work while Brittany is


    having a holiday during Christmas, how about we make good use of the chance and get them


    married on the right day?"


    After a long pause, Alice cried out in joy. "Amelia, in fact, Brittany has wanted to get married a long


    time ago. It''s just that your father and I were worried that you might find it annoying, so we kept


    putting it off. I''m so d now that you''ve brought it up on your own! I totally agree with your


    proposal. Holding their wedding on Christmas is not only joyful for them but would also cheer up


    your father. It couldn''t be any


    better..."


    Amelia added, "In that case, you should have a good discussion of it and settle the date. Marriage is


    one of the most important events in life. We shouldn''t take it lightly."


    Alice hurried to answer, "Right. I know what to do in this regard. Brittany and Daniel would be too


    happy to sleep at the news!"


    After putting down the phone, Alice kept muttering "wonderful" to herself at the Ramsay''s. Getting


    off work from thepany, Daniel secretly gave a few looks at Alice''s reaction. "You''re so happy


    today."


    Could it be that Gilbert had had a chance to get better? Something cold shed across Daniel''s


    eyes, but he maintained a warm smile on his face as he sat next to Alice.


    Alice looked at him with the same big smile. "Daniel, you''re back at the right time. I think we should


    hold your wedding ceremony with Brittany this Christmas!"


    "What?" Daniel raised his voice in excitement.


    Alice nced at him with a puzzled look. "Daniel, you don''t like my proposal?"

    After losing herposure for a moment, Daniel quickly calmed himself down and said, "No, I was


    just too happy. I didn''t expect you to bring me such good news all of a sudden!"


    Alice believed him. "Amelia has just brought it up on the phone. Otherwise, I would not have


    remembered to discuss it with you recently. After all, Gilbert''s condition had been distracting


    enough..."


    Daniel didn''t hear the rest of her words.


    Amelia! It was her who had brought it up! Anyone could have done so, but why it had been her!


    Daniel clenched his fists so hard that they creaked. It took a while before he suppressed the urge to


    drive to Amelia''s to make a scene. She didn''t care about his feelings anymore. She was so eager to


    push him into the grave of marriage with another woman!


    As for Alice, she was still talking, "Daniel, Brittany''s going home for holiday tomorrow. You should


    talk to her about it. And I will turn to a fortune-teller to settle the right date. There will be a lot of


    things to deal with then. If we couldn''t handle them ourselves, I''ll ask Amelia and Patrick toe to


    help us."


    Daniel lowered his gloomy eyes and replied in a genuine manner, "It''s all up to you."


    "Oh, by the way..." Alice said to him seriously, "Daniel, I''ve known you for so long, but I don''t seem


    to have seen your parents. I haven''t even heard you mention them. We haven''t met on the day of


    your engagement, but your parents should attend the wedding, shouldn''t they? Would you invite


    them here and introduce us to each other?"


    Daniel narrowed her eyes, "My dad died when I was young."


    "Oh!" Alice covered her mouth and said in surprise, "Daniel, I''m sorry to hearthat..."


    "It''s fine." Daniel smiled and said as if he had moved on, "It''s been a long time. And I almost couldn''t


    remember my father. Now that you remind me of him, I only feel it such a pity, but I''m not very sad."
