Chapter 598


    Amelia thought that it was okay for her to just stand there. However, the next second, she heard


    Jonathan said, "Please be seated."


    "Alright." Considering that the seats were small, Amelia took a seat next to Jonathan.


    After Amelia sat down, she took a check from the briefcase which was handed over by Jonathan.


    Then she gave it to the olddy with two hands. "Lady, I''m sorry about what happened to your son.


    It''s all our Apex Construction Corporation''s fault. We''re willing to pay three times thebor contract''s


    sry aspensation and for the mental damage. I hope you can ept this..."


    When the olddy was about to take the check, the young woman suddenly said, "Mom, we can''t


    take the money! If we take the money, they will ignore about the ident! Then my husband''s death


    would never be justified!"


    The old woman turned her head and sighed, "Then what do you want to do?"


    "I''m going to sue them! I''m going to sue Apex Construction Corporation, apany that killed


    people. I will sue them so that they can no longer harm others!"


    Amelia''s hands which were holding the check trembled slightly.


    The olddy shook her head and said, "Have you ever thought about if we don''t ept this money,


    how are we able to solve our financial problem? Can you as a housewife pay for your father''s


    treatment fees, the two children''s tuition fee, and my pension expenses?"


    The young woman froze immediately.


    "I''ll keep this check for you for the time being." After saying this, the olddy took the check from


    Amelia''s palm and said something that made her heart ache, "With this money, at least our family


    will have something..."


    Meanwhile, the olddy''s two grandsons entered the living room after hearing the noise. Before she


    had time to say anything, the young woman holding the two kids in each hand. Then she kneeled


    close to them and talked something to their ears. "Keep an eye on her and remember her face. She


    is your father''s murderer. You would never forget her face all your life!"


    Amelia frowned and thought to herself, "How can a mother teach her kids to be hateful?"


    When the two half-grown kids listened to their mother''s words, they did not have the ability to tell


    right from wrong, so they red at Amelia angrily.

    One of them picked up a toy from the floor and threw it at Amelia.


    "President Ramsay, are you alright?" Jonathan nced sideways and saw that Amelia''s red eyes


    were full of tears. He thought that she was hurt by the toys, but he did not expect that she was


    feeling sad for the family...


    "I''m alright." She hid the sadness in her eyes. Amelia bent down, picked up the toy that fell on the


    floor that hit her. She got up and gave it to the elder boy. She asked softly, "Who bought you this


    toy?"


    The little boy turned his head away stubbornly. However, tears streamed down his face.


    Amelia said softly, "It was your father who bought it right? Since it was bought by your father, you


    should cherish it more."


    The boy didn''t reply.


    The next second, he grabbed the toy back and held it tightly in his arms.


    "Now it''s right." Amelia''s eyes softened.


    The boy turned and ran back to the room, as if he were ming Amelia for talking too much. His


    younger brother kept calling and chasing after him...


    Amelia knew that the kids went back to their rooms to reminiscence their father.


    Amelia looked back and said to Jonathan, "Let''s go to the next family."


    The first stop for the family visit could be considered sessful for her. However, the following visits


    were not as smooth as she had expected.


    As soon as Amelia introduced herself, some people immediately chased after her to beat her.


    Although Jonathan was strict, he always protected her at these time. When she thought about an


    old man in his fifties would protect her from being hit by punches and ps, she felt emotional. It felt


    the same way like her father was suffering for her.


    Sometimes the family members were too agitated and bullied them so much that Amelia had to


    throw the check and ran away with Jonathan.


    In the car...


    Amelia looked as if she had almost lost her life. She looked at Jonathan who was half dead as well.


    With just one look, her eyes suddenly widened. "Uncle Tucker, where did your hair go?"


    Jonathan rubbed his own bald head and said sulkily, "Someone tore off my wig when we were on


    the way!"


    When Amelia heard this, she was so surprised that she almost bit off her tongue. "Wig!"


    Jonathan rolled his eyes at her. "Yes. What''s the fuss about? It''s normal for me to get bald since I''m


    old, right? And am I not allowed to wear a wig?"


    Amelia was afraid of offending him. So she waved her hands and said, "No. It''s just that your wig


    quality is so good that I can''t tell it''s fake!"


    Jonathan''s eyes were brimming with tears. "It''s because of this reason that my heart ached. Where


    am I going to buy such a good wig again? If I return to thepany like this, Kaleb will definitely


    have an opportunity tough at me!"


    Amelia had never seen Jonathan so sad before. She suggested, "Why don''t we go to the wig shop


    on the next stop?"


    Jonathan copsed on the leather chair and asked, "Aren''t you tired?"


    Amelia replied, "I''m fine."


    Jonathan asked again, "Does your body hurt?"


    It hurt!


    A moment earlier, when Amelia entered the victim family''s door, she was hit by the family member


    who was hiding behind the door with a stick. Her back was burning in pain. The car cushion looked


    comfortable but she dared not to lean on it.


    However, when she thought of how Jonathan had been protecting her, she endured the pain and


    said, "It doesn''t hurt, I can still hold on."


    Jonathan did not say anything else and asked the driver to send them to the wig shop.


    As the night fell, Amelia dragged her injured and tired body back to the Land of Fragrance.


    Huxton and Dr. Scarlett saw that she was getting more exhausted and haggard day by day but they


    could only felt worry for her. They thought that if only Patrick were here, that would be great.


    At the dining table, Dr. Scarlett found that there were a few faint red marks on Amelia''s left face


    under the chandelier light. There was also a gash on the corners of her mouth. Her waist was


    always straight but her posture seemed ufortable no matter how Dr. Scarlett looked at it.


    Dr. Scarlett took a bottle of fruit juice from the refrigerator and said, "Here. Drink this. I just


    squeezed the oranges in the afternoon, it''s fresh."


    "Thank you." After receiving the orange juice, Amelia took a sip of it.


    The pain on Amelia''s face and the injured corner of her lips were frozen by the cold drink. She felt


    as if she had be numb and she was no longer feeling any pain.


    Dr. Scarlett stood there and looked down at Amelia''s scalp that had been pulled out of her head.


    She asked sadly, "Those mobs are so cruel, why don''t you call the police?"


    Amelia said slowly, "Call the police? Do you think the police will arrest them or me? Forget about it...


    Those victims'' family members just wanted to vent their anger, so we don''t have to heighten the


    case."
