Chapter 684


    Amelia nodded, thinking that Alice''s analysis was truly reasonable and convincing.


    Alice earnestly said, "Amelia, I don''t care whether you believe me or not, but Kaleb and I are not


    having any affairs. After all, the only man I love is your father."


    "Aunty Alice, it''s not that I don''t trust you. I just feel that Kaleb is indeed a disgusting man! I can''t


    believe he''s doing that on you publicly? Why don''t you just give him a tight p in his face so that


    he will know how to behave next time?"


    Amelia felt extremely ufortable whenever she mentioned Kaleb. She wished that she could rip


    his perverted face right away.


    Alice forced a smile, "I know what''s on his mind. But I can''t afford to ruin the ns now considering


    that he somewhat has a say in Apex Construction. Neither do I want to see him making your


    situation difficult, nor do I want to see him bringing troubles to thepany. I can only bear with it."


    Upon learning of Alice''s true intention, Amelia could not help feeling ashamed. She had never been


    thoughtful or understanding in the past. All she did was to go against Alice and rebel with her father


    for every decisions made by Alice.


    Had she listened to her father and went ording to his nid down for her during her university


    time and joined Apex Construction right away after she graduated, most probably Daniel would


    have nothing to do with thepany anymore.

    After a long silence, Amelia suddenly held Alice''s hand and promised, "Aunty Alice, I will definitely


    make your suffering worthwhile! When I manage to conclude several big investments and strike a


    few business deals, I will be able to build my own reputation and status in thepany. Until then,


    Kaleb can survive in thepany no more!"


    Alice was filled with hope all over again. She looked at Amelia and said, "I''ll wait for that day."


    Seeing Alice''s soft and temperament as if she was a helpless sheep awaiting for ughtering,


    Amelia could not help feeling worried, "One more thing Aunty Alice, you can''t keep tolerate with


    Kaleb without a limit. Otherwise, he will only be more aggravated! Maybe you can learn from


    what I did the other night in the hospital. You can threaten to tell his wife and kids. I heard people


    from thepany saying that his wife is a fierce character. Otherwise, Kaleb would not have


    thought of having affairs outside."


    Alice pursed his lips into a smile, "Sure, I know what to do. Don''t worry."


    Amelia felt uneasy and said, "Who is worried about you? I am just worried that you will betray my


    father!"


    Hearing this, Alice said in an extraordinarily serious manner, "I can promise to you, I will never


    betray your father even if I have to go through hell!"


    "Stop right there! Don''t talk nonsense!" Amelia scoffed. She could not bear to hear anyone cursing


    themselves this way, "You''re such a useless person then if Kaleb that pig can easily force you to


    death!"


    Upon seeing Amelia''s concerning look, Alice felt a rush of warmth in her heart, "Amelia, how much I


    wish that you''re my daughter by blood. I would have given the best of everything in this world to


    you."


    Although she was still upset by the early death of her mother by blood, Amelia purposely replied


    rxingly, "Isn''t foster daughter same as your own daughter? Aunty Alice, you''d better make sure


    that you treat both of us fairly. Otherwise, I willin to my own mother that you''ve been


    torturing me every night in my dream."


    In fact, Amelia was not actually lying about this. During the first few years right after


    Petty Simmonsmitted suicide. Amelia had always dreamt of her.


    Hence, during her dream at night she had been


    Amelia wanted Petty toe back and take care of her by saying so.


    Of course, in fact, Alice had never done anything ruthless to her.


    At the end of the day, these were just her unspeakable fear underlying in her heart. What the dream


    did was just to manifest it.


    Amelia was somehow freeing herself from her own fear by revealing it to Alice at this moment.


    Without any of them realizing, the two of them had in fact became closer.


    Alice reached out her hand to pinch Amelia''s delicate nose affectionately, "Look what you said! Your


    words have never been kind to anyone!"


    This was the first time that Alice had done something so intimate to her. Amelia suddenly felt the


    urge to cry.


    Looking away in a hurry, Amelia said to Alice, "Aunty Alice, please hurry to get Brittany something to


    eat. I have to go now." "Okay, be safe." Alice reminded her.


    At Land of Fragrance.


    Amelia saw Huxton standing beside the shoe cab as soon as she entered the house. She asked


    curiously, "What are you doing here? Are you a statue?"


    Huxton remained calm and said, "I''m waiting for madam toe back for lunch."


    "Waiting for me?" Amelia sized up him cautiously before she asked in a suspicious manner, "I doubt


    if you will be kind-hearted."


    Huxton did not answer Amelia''s question and said bluntly, "Madam, your lunch is served. They are


    all your favorite dishes. Please take off your shoes first."


    Pausing for a few seconds, his gaze fell onto Amelia''s dusty shoes and said, "If you had already


    been tired, I''m willing to remove the shoes for you."


    With that said, Huxton intended to kneel on one of his knee.


    Amelia was frightened to the extent that she stepped backward and hurriedly said, "Oh, no! Don''t


    get yourself busy, I''m fine on my own."


    "Alright." Huxton straightened his back and stood aside.


    Amelia stared at Huxton as if she had just bumped into a ghost while she removed her heels.


    Before she could take her slippers from the shoe rack, Huxton had already taken one step ahead of


    her and offered her the pair of slippers with both hands.


    The corners of Amelia''s mouth twitched, "Put it on the ground then."


    Huxton positioned the pair of woman slippers right in front of her toes so that she could slip her feet


    into them easily from behind.


    "Thank you." Despite his sudden change of attitude, Amelia could finally convince herself that he


    was a butler upon enjoying his thoughtful service for very first time.


    "Madam, do you need to take a shower before having your meal?" Huxton asked again.


    "No, there''s no need." Amelia hurriedly shook her head to prevent Huxton from continuing his


    abnormal madness. It would be truly horrifying if he offered to shower for her.


    "Madam, please be seated then."


    He was too suspicious to be real.


    In particr, Huxton had been invited her to be seated with a poker face, as if she was the ''dish''


    that needed to be processed on the table.


    However as soon as she saw her favorite dishes such as chicken rode, smoked duck sd and


    a spicy seafood arrabbiata serving on the table, Amelia finally convinced herself that she had been


    overthinking it. It seemed like Huxton was not pranking on her today all in a sudden.


    Huxton who was standing behind Amelia, asked, "Are you satisfied with the dishes, madam?"


    "Yes, I''m so satisfied!" The dishes were beyond her satisfaction that she could feel her saliva


    dripping onto her te.


    Huxton smiled and pulled out a chair for her gentlemanly, "Please have a seat, madam."


    Sitting down, Amelia shifted her suspicious gaze onto Huxton and said, "You can tell me now. Why


    had you been so attentive today?"


    Huxton''s expression froze in an instant, "Madam, I''m just doing my part. Please enjoy your meal."
