Chapter 580
The next second, Daniel interjected, "I''m only the executor of the project. The person in charge of
the project is dad."
"Shame on you!" Amelia widened her eyes and then roared, "You think you can get away with it if
you just push the me to dad? Know that this project has always been overseen by you. The
police can interrogate anybody from thepany and you''ll be the person they point to in the end!
Also, who revealed himself in front of the TV back then? It was you!
Moreover, toplete this project, it must had gone through a lot of procedures, right? Didn''t you
review, sign and hand over the contracts rted to these procedures? I''ll know once I check it out!"
"I didn''t say that I don''t want to admit it." Daniel''s eyes glinted in the light, and he said, "I''m just
saying that I''m just helping dad and thepany."
Amelia''s hands were so tightly clenched together that the skin on the back of her hands was being
scratched off. How did she get together with someone so despicable as Daniel in the past? She was
really blind!
Out of realization, the few of them had been sitting in the living room till dawn.
Amelia, who had not slept for the whole night, moved her stiff neck and said in a hoarse voice to
Alice, ''Aunt Alice, please turn on the TV. The morning news may have thetest update regarding
the development zone."
Alice quickly followed her instructions. As Amelia had expected, the local TV station in Northville
was mentioning the copse at the development zone and the trapped employees on the live
broadcast.
The news reporter said that there were two casualties at the scene of the incident out of the twenty-
one victims rescued. Eleven were seriously injured and the others were harmed at different extents.
A burst of despair spread through Amelia''s heart.
This was only the proportion of what happened to the twenty-one victims saved during an entire
night''s efforts. But ording to what Alice had saidst night, there were a total of more than a
hundred people living in the dormitory!
Amelia dared not imagine how many people had lost their lives.
Daniel''s bloodshot eyes stared at the television screen, his body pulled taut like a string that might
snap at any moment!
Alice was a soft-hearted person. When she heard that there were deaths and heavy injuries, tears
fell down her cheeks. "What... What should we do?"
Amelia also had an urge to cry when she saw Alice tearing up. She simply snatched the remote
control from Alice and turned off the miserable scenes on the TV.
"Amelia, I''ve let down your father. Under my management, this home has be a mess. I should
be med..."
Thinking of her husband, who was getting thinner and weaker as heid on the hospital bed, Alice
felt even more sorrowful.
"Aunt Alice, calm down!" Seeing her crying so hard that she could hardly breathe, Amelia hurriedly
reached out tofort her by patting her back. Huxton, on the other hand, silently poured a cup of
tea and passed it to her.
Daniel looked at them as if nothing had happened from the side. He had wanted to see the downfall
of The Ramsay Family, but he did not expect that he himself would be the price for it!
Ding-dong, ding-dong...
The doorbell rang ominously as if it was forewarning the threat of death. Amelia became serious.
She looked at Alice, who was stunned, and said, "Aunt Alice, you go upstairs and hide for a while. It
may be the reporters!"
Alice replied feebly but firmly, "No, Amelia, I should be the one to face the media. This has nothing
to do with you at all! Don''t get involved!"
"How can it have nothing to do with me? I''m part of The Ramsay Family. To be honest, you''re just a
stepmother. It''s not your ce to worry about the business of the Ramsay Family yet!"
With that, Amelia said to Huxton, who was beside her, "Send Aunt Alice upstairs. Without my
permission, she''s not allowed to step out of the room!"
Huxton nced deeply at Amelia and replied, "Okay."
"I''m not going up!" No matter how unwilling Alice was, she was no match for Huxton. The servants
in the house wanted to step forward to help their madam when they saw her struggling, but they
were warded away by Huxton''s cold gaze.
When Alice''s figure disappeared behind the door, Amelia turned to Daniel and sneered, "Now, there
are only the two of us. No matter what happenster, you have to hold on!"
Daniel returned a strange smile, "With you as mypanion, I won''t be afraid even if it''s the end of
the world."
Amelia gave him a look of disdain and pursed her lips. "Don''t try to deal with me the way you do
with Brittany. It just disgusts me."
Under Daniel''s defeated look, Amelia sat on the main seat of the sofa and said to a maid, "Open the
door."
"Yes, Ms. Amelia."
The reason why Amelia did not open the door herself was that it would have lowered her
composure. No matter how the situation changedter, she would have the upper hand if she
remained prepared and calm to whatever was going to happen.
A momentter, the maid entered back to the living room with two policemen.
When the two policemen saw Amelia, they were quite polite. After all, Amelia was now more than
just someone from the Ramsay Family.
Amelia gestured an invitation to them courteously with a smile and poured two cups of green tea for
them. "You two must be here for the incident at the development area, am I correct?"
The younger police officer, catching sight at the warmth in Amelia''s eyes, got flustered and adjusted
his cap slightly.
The older police officer continued, "That''s right. We want to ask Mr. Daniel, the overseer of the
project, toe with us."
Amelia replied calmly, "May I trouble the two of you to slow down a little?"
Noticing their frowns, Amelia continued in a gentle voice, "I know it''s your duty, but just as you said,
Daniel is the person in charge of the project. The task on his hands has to be handed over to
someone else, right? If you take him away right now, ourpany will be in a state of disarray as
there will be no leader."
The older policeman thought for a moment and finally said powerlessly, "This is a matter of great
importance and has even involved murder. Our superiors are also breathing down our necks for
this, I hope Ms. Amelia won''t make things difficult for us."
"Oh." Amelia ced her slender fingers on thendline next to her and stroked it faintly, "How about
I ask Owen to talk to you two?"
The two officers'' hearts suddenly thumped more rapidly than ever.
They were not just afraid of Owen. Instead, they were more terrified of who was on top of Owen,
Howard Hopper.
Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
It was rumored that Owen was brought up by Howard personally and was rmended by him to
join the army. Who would dare to offend Owen, who valued so much by Howard?
The corner of the older policeman''s mouth twitched, and he said, "Ms. Amelia, we can proceed by
ourselves, you don''t have to bother Mr. Hopper. Just tell me when will Mr. Daniel able toe to the
police station with us."
"At least one day from today."
Amelia admitted that it was pathetic to rely on Owen''s authority and power, but there was no other
way. Once Daniel was taken away and was not able toe out in a short period of time, what
would happen to Apex Construction Corporation?
"Okay, just one day!" The two policemen agreed through gritted teeth.
