Chapter 581
For the two police officers, twenty-four hours was the limit that they could ept!
Upon hearing this, Amelia involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much!"
After personally seeing the two policemen away, Amelia heard Daniel said meaningfully, "You sure
know how to make the best possible use out of everything."
Understanding his implication, Amelia did not feel ashamed at all. "Don''t talk nonsense! If it weren''t
for the fact that you still hold some value, I would have asked the policemen to bring you to their
station for execution!"
Daniel suddenlyughed, "If I''m dead, won''t Brittany and the baby in her belly be a widow and
an orphan?"
Amelia sneered and said, "If you think I''ll sympathize with you just because of that, you''re wrong. I
want you to find out all the information about the development before sunset tomorrow and give it to
me, and it''s your own business that whatever punishment you receive!"
Daniel narrowed his eyes. "You''re so heartless, aren''t you afraid that I won''t give you the
information?"
"Let me make this clear for you. You''re about to be held captive, so you don''t have the right to
negotiate with me!" Amelia fixated her stare at him. "If you don''t give it to me, I''ll have someone
knock you out and leave you on the outskirts of the development side. I''ll then get those dead and
injured employees'' families to have a nice chat with you personally. How about that?"
Daniel''s expression changed upon hearing this. If Amelia really did this, then she might as well have
sent him to the police station.
Noticing the panic on his face, Amelia was secretly satisfied. "Also, don''t try to pull any tricks on me.
If Apex Construction Corporation fails because of this matter, it won''t affect me. After all, I have The
Hopper Family as my backer. However, you, Brittany, and your unborn child will be in huge debt and
may even live a destitute life because of this. That''s all I have to say. Think about it yourself. Do you
want to redeem yourself, or do you want to make another mistake?"
Daniel closed his eyes and opened them after a few seconds. "When are we going back to the
company?"
Amelia raised her beautiful eyebrows and said,
"Right now."
On the second floor.
Hearing the knock on the door, Huxton cracked the door open slightly. When he saw that it was
Amelia through the narrow gap, he swung the door back and invited her.
Amelia did not enter and only asked, "Where''s Aunt Alice?"
Huxton exined slowly, "She kept wanting to go downstairs, so I knocked her out."
Amelia panicked a little, hoping that Alice would not me her after she woke up.
"Madam, who was it?" Huxton continued to ask.
Amelia said, "It''s the police. They said they wanted to take Daniel away. I can only ask them to
dy for a day because thepany still needs him."
Huxton nodded.
Amelia added worriedly, "I''m afraid there''ll be more troubleing our way."
Huxton nced at her. "Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
An idea came to Amelia, and she suddenly asked, "Do you have a pen and paper with you?"
"Yes." Huxton took out a fountain pen from the inside of his suit and a piece of tissue paper from
his trouser pocket, then handed them to Amelia.
Amelia removed the lid of the pen. When the tip of the pen made contact with the tissue, the paper
was torn through.
Seeing this, she held and raised Huxton''s enormous palm. Under his stiffened expression, she said
without looking up, "Don''t be so nervous. I won''t do anything to you. Rx."
"Madam, what are you doing?" Huxton looked down to find Amelia writing in his hand with the pen,
so he could not help but ask in curiosity.
"All done!" Amelia, who had finished thest stroke, released Huxton''s hand and exined, "You
first send Alice and Brittany to this location so that they can lie low first."
Huxton stared at the scrawled map in his palm and asked, "Where is this?"
Amelia said, "My mother''s dowry for my marriage, an old mansion. I haven''t been back for many
years. I don''t know why but I get sick whenever I go there. Eventually, as time went by, I don''t really
want to go there anymore."
When Huxton put down his hand, he asked, "Madam, when will you tell Mr. Hopper about this?"
Hearing him, Amelia''s attractive face froze a little, "Maybe tonight. I''m going to bring Daniel back to
thepany now."
At Apex Construction Corporation.
As soon as Daniel hadnded himself into trouble, the board of directors immediately felt imperiled.
After all, they were all in collusion with Daniel to some extent. They would receive dividends once
the project in the development side waspleted. But if something went awry, they would just
push the me!
When Amelia arrived, she immediately asked Daniel to hold a board meeting in his name. It was
quite aical scene to see a group of middle-aged men arguing till their face turned crimson.
If they had known it woulde to this, then why did they do it in the first ce?
Watching the chaotic sight before him, Daniel raised his voice and yelled, "Everyone, be quiet!"
Hearing Daniel raising the volume of his voice, the directors, with Kaleb as their leader, immediately
turned against Daniel and pushed all the me on him. He was scolded for secretly changing the
resources, which caused such a detrimental effect on thepany. And also for his actions of
deceiving everybody.
Daniel had expected someone to turn back against him midway through, but he was not enraged,
nor did he get back at anyone. Instead, he stood up and bowed to the crowd, saying sincerely, "To
all directors, the responsibility for this matter falls entirely on me. I''ve ruined the reputation of the
company and dragged down your image. It''s all my fault. No matter how you me me, I''ll ept
the fault."
Amelia, who was watching at the side, yawned. Even on his deathbed, Daniel still did not forget to
have public rtion.
Regardless of whether Daniel''s apology was genuine or hollow, just his attitude had made it difficult
for the board of directors to critic anything more.
Because if they were to say that they wanted to get to the bottom of this, none of them would be
innocent themselves. And if they drove Daniel into a corner, none of them would be able to escape
too.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Daniel added, "Right now, ourpany is in urgent need of
someone talented, who holds thepany shares, and has the professional knowledge and
morale. Also best to has a close rtionship with The Ramsay Family to oversee thepany on
my behalf. Who does the board of directors think is the most suitable candidate?"
ncing at the people in his vision field that all had different expressions on, Daniel said with a
strange
smile, "Is there anyone volunteer?"
Everyone''s attention fell on the young Amelia at once. Their meaning was almost self-evident.
In their opinion, ''talent'' and ''morale'' were not the most important qualities. On the contrary, they
hoped that the person who took over thepany was mediocrity, and it was even better if they
were an ipetentme duck. The two daughters of the Ramsay Family obviously aligned with
their standards.
But after hearing Kaleb said that it was inhumane to let Britanny, a pregnant woman, to take over
thepany, there was only one choice left. They were left with Amelia, who was sitting right in
front of them.
As it was the sensitive period at the moment, in case of any emergency, they could most likely
puppeteer Amelia to help them get over this rough patch.

Once the situation had settled down, they would find an excuse to kick her out of Apex Construction
Corporation. Even if Amelia was Patrick''s wife, the internal affairs of Apex Construction Corporation
would never fall under Roxxon''s orders!
