Chapter 594


    Amelia braced herself up and greeted Ryan sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Quartley, we haven''t contacted


    each other for a long time. Are you doing well recently?"


    "Good." Ryan Quartley replied, then he began to get straight to the point. Generally, he had read the


    news of the Apex Construction Corporation''s ident. So he asked her euphemistically whether


    she needed financial assistance.


    If it were someone else, Amelia would have agreed immediately. However he was Ryan, the man


    Patrick hated very much. She felt bad for his kind intention.


    She said politely, "Uncle Quartley, thank you for your kindness, but I can solve the problem


    myself..."


    Ryan went straight to the point and asked, "How are you going to solve it yourself? You''re just a


    little girl."


    Amelia turned into silence.


    When Ryan noticed that Amelia was silent, he seemed to have thought of something. He added, "If


    Patrick had helped you, then I would have nothing to say. But I heard that he''s outstation right?"


    Amelia could not let Ryan help her, so she came up with a white lie, "Although he is not in


    Northville, he knows what happened to me. You don''t have to


    worry about it."


    Ryan asked seriously, "Are you sure you''re not just being courteous to me?"


    After a brief moment of silence, Amelia said wistfully, "No."Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ryan softened his tone and said, "Alright then. Actually, I''m quite willing for the Quartleys to work


    with your Ramsays. This will help our families to expand our business too."


    Amelia''s lips curled into a smile. Ryan was a typical liar. Her family was in construction business


    and Ryan''s business was in food and beverage. These were two different industries so how could


    they work together?


    When Ryan heard Amelia''s breathing lightly, he knew she was trying to suppress herugh, he said


    in a solemn tone, "Don''tugh at me. I recently want to expand the wine factory so I need a real


    estatepany to help with the bidding and construction. I am just ayman on construction


    industry so I am afraid of being cheated by real estatepany. Considering our friendship, I don''t


    think you will scam me right?"


    Amelia''s heart was moved when she heard this. This was such an easy business. It was just right in


    front of her and all she needed to do was to say yes!


    However the next second she thought about the


    Patrick''s angry face when Ryan''s name was mentioned in front of him, she had to give up.


    Patrick was unwilling to live in the tent provided by Ryan and he even went downhill at night. If she


    agreed to ept Ryan''s business, would it be...


    Amelia frowned. Between love and business, she did not know which one to choose.


    After a while, Ryan heard Amelia''s reply, "Well... Let me think about it. Uncle Quartley, is that okay?"


    Ryan''s rounded voice rang out in a jovial tone. "Yes! Remember, I won''t ask anyone else for help


    before you give me a reply to the expansion of the wine factory."


    Amelia was deeply moved. "Thank you, Uncle Quartley."


    "Okay, you may go ahead with your own business. I won''t bother you any longer. Call meter."


    "Sure, bye."


    At the Quartley family.


    Ryan who had ended the conversation with Amelia thought to himself. He could feel she really


    wanted to ept the deal from the conversation.


    The reason why she was moved was very likely that her current situation was not as light as what


    she told him in the phone conversation. However, due to the rtionship between her and Patrick,


    she did not dare to ept Ryan''s request. She was afraid of having conflict with Patrick again.


    "s..." Ryan sighed. Amelia was too thoughtful to care about everything but she kept things to


    herself. As a result, she was always the one who suffered.


    Andrea who was sitting next to Ryan turned her gaze from the book and looked at him. She said


    softly, "Honey, who are you calling? Why are you so upset?"


    Ryan put down his phone and nced back. "Do you remember the little girl who sent me to the


    hospitalst time when I got stuck in the elevator?"


    Andrea blinked her eyes. "Of course I remember.


    She''s fair and pretty just like a doll."


    Ryan wasforted that his wife still remembered Amelia. "Mmm, I was talking to her."


    When Andrea heard this, sheined slightly, "Why don''t you tell me that you were talking to


    her earlier? So that I could talk to her!"


    When Ryan heard this, heughed, "Didn''t you just meet her once? What do you want to talk to her


    about?"


    Andrea said, "Last time, I was too worried about you, so I forgot to thank her in person! Let''s make it


    clear first. When the next time you contact her, remember to let me say thank you to her personally."


    Ryan promised, "Okay, sure."


    Andrea continued to ask, "By the way... What does the girl do?"


    Ryan said, "Hmm? She has just taken over her father''spany. She''s probably the chairperson of


    the board."


    Andrea did not know that Amelia was in charge of the Apex Construction Corporation. She just said


    in surprise, "I didn''t expect that she was so capable!"


    "Yes, she is!" Ryan did not deny it. On the contrary, he could not help but put on a proud tone.


    "Then what did you guys talk about on the phone? Business?"


    When Ryan noticed Andrea was curious about Amelia, he smiled and was happy to share the


    conversation with her. "Amelia has just taken over thepany and the funds are running out. I''m


    thinking about how to help her without being rejected."


    Andrea thought for a moment and said, "Oh! Why don''t you talk to Yoel? Isn''t he the person who


    was most fond of investing? Who knows he might be able to help that little girl?"


    As soon as Ryan heard the Yoel''s name, his calm eyes rippled.


    When Andrea noticed that Ryan did not say anything for a while, she could not help but ask,


    "Honey,


    what''s wrong with you?"


    Ryan came back to senses and forced a smile. "Nothing. It''s just that it''s not so convenient for Yoel


    to help."


    Andrea asked, "Are you worried that the little girl won''t ept our son''s help?"


    Ryan sighed and looked at the sky in silence.


    Meanwhile, at the Land of Fragrance.


    Amelia put her beautiful fingers on the lips and her eyes were wandering. There was a strong


    protest from the bottom of her heart. Why was she still thinking about Patrick''s feelings at this


    moment?


    What about Patrick? When he and Sissi went through thick and thin together, had he ever


    considered her feelings?


    The next day, at the press conference venue.


    After Amelia took off her suit jacket, she walked into the public''s view with only a white shirt and


    ck trousers. She had the demeanor of a sessful career woman.


    She still remembered that the first time she held the press conference was to rify the rumors


    between Shawn and her. At that time, all the questions were being covered by Patrick. However,


    she had to face the media alone this time around.


    It would be a lie if she said to have adapted to it.


    This was because her life had already been filled with Patrick''s presence. When he was away from


    her, she felt that time passed so slowly.
