Chapter 726


    Kaleb and the rest quietly looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.


    Amelia was ying dumb just to toy them around in the end!


    From the beginning, they were deceived by Amelia''s remiss. And when paired with Ryker''s watchful


    eyes and ears, they were even more at ease.


    Butter... Amelia had just turned the tables on them with the project in the east. They had already


    lost the initial chance of sabotage before realizing it!


    Swallowing the bitterness on his tongue, Kaleb then pretended to be eager and asked, "President


    Ramsay... Is there anything you need us to do at the moment?"


    Amelia replied without thinking, "There''s nothing for the time being."


    "Nothing?!" Kaleb and others were appalled.


    Amelia nodded and said, "Yes. We have yet to receive the final approval, so I dare not guarantee to


    you guys that the government will choose to work with us. To avoid anybody''s effort going to waste,


    everyone should return to their duties for now. I''ll inform everyone again if help is needed."


    Listening to her...


    Amelia had all of the authority in her hands. Whatever she said, they had to listen to it, and there


    was no room forints at all!


    Knock, knock, knock.


    "Ah! It must be Assistant Ryker!"


    Amelia regained her spirit when hearing the knock from the door. She then rushed towards it in a


    hurry and pulled it open.


    Indeed, it was Ryker standing outside the door.


    Noticing the six steaming cups of coffee on a tray in his hands, Amelia praised him in keenness,


    "Assistant Ryker is as effective as usual! Come in quick, don''t let Uncle Kaleb and the others wait


    up."


    "Hmm," Ryker replied weakly. Actually, he was pacing around at the door for a long time, all


    because he was afraid toe in and face this nightmare of a scene...


    Kaleb''s displeased eyes fell on Ryker. "Is the coffee made by Assistant Ryker himself? I have to


    taste it! Bring it to me!"


    "Okay!" In the face of Kaleb''s orders, Ryker was obedient as a puppy, almost wagging his tail


    behind him.


    With her back to Kaleb, a trace of coldness shed in Amelia''s eyes. Did Kaleb just bypassed her


    and gave orders to Ryker directly? He was treating her as non-existent at this point!


    However, Kaleb actually did not do it on purpose this time.


    It was just that as soon as he saw Ryker, the ball of fire ignited wilder in his heart. If he did not vent


    his anger on Ryker right then, he would feel ill at ease!


    Amelia then shut the door and heard Kaleb curses ringing from behind her. "Urgh! What kind of


    coffee did you make? Did you make this with dog''s sh*t?"


    Ryker remained silent, dipping his head low and dared not to say a word.


    Kaleb then continued to scold, "You useless junk! You can''t even make coffee, so do you deserve to


    serve President Ramsay? From now on, you''re assigned to the warehouse to file reports!"


    "Mr. Ramsay, you!" Ryker immediately raised his head, his face full of shock and outrage.


    To be assigned to a ce like the warehouse meant that he was not regarded as someone with


    importance. Did he belong there?


    After all, he was a graduate of a well-known university and had many years of work experience!


    "What''s with your attitude? I''m already generous by letting you stay in thepany! Are you going


    to do it or not? If you don''t, then get lost!" Kaleb was


    forcing Rykerto resign on his own initiative!


    Gritting his teeth, Ryker then threw a nce at Amelia and asked, "President Ramsay, are you also


    driving me away?"


    Amelia looked confused at what was happening. "No. Why would I kick you out? You didn''t do


    anything wrong."


    With that, Kaleb then continued with an impartial face, "President Ramsay, though Assistant Ryker


    didn''t do anything wrong, he''s of little help to you! He should''ve apanied you to attend such an


    event as the tender meeting yesterday. But in the end, he had to trouble Director Tucker. That was a


    dereliction of duty on his part!"


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Amelia then stammered, "But..."


    Kaleb interjected at once, "Since he''s failed his duty, he''ll have to be punished! President Ramsay,


    don''t break the rules that thepany has set for years!"


    "Alright then..." Amelia sighed and looked at Ryker with pity. "Ryker, I''m sorry to put you in such a


    ce."


    Ryker''s entire being froze upon hearing her!


    He had be the sacrifice of this game.


    But what else could he do?


    Although he had leverage on Kaleb, he had also received a lot of benefits from him. Unless he


    wanted to insert himself into the situation, he could only shut his mouth about the immoral deeds


    Kaleb had done.


    As for Amelia, after careful consideration, she did not do anything to him that was out of line.


    Besides, as a spy, he was not qualified to me others.


    It was just that Kaleb had deviated from the original plot and pulled a ''Mission Impossible'' on him,


    turning against him.


    Ryker made his resignation to Amelia on the spot and left.


    After he left, Kaleb leisurely picked up the cup of coffee Ryker made for him and enjoyed it with


    bliss...


    The expression on his face did not look as if he was drinking coffee. He looked like he was savoring


    Ryker''s blood.


    A momentter, Kaleb''s voice broke the silence in the room. "President Ramsay, since Ryker left,


    the position of your assistant is vacated. Do you want me to send someone over here to help you?"


    Again?


    But Amelia only raised a brow and said, "Uncle Kaleb, I''ll leave this to Uncle Tucker. Don''t worry


    about it."


    Uncle Tucker? Jonathan Tucker!


    Kaleb''s grip on the coffee cup tightened at once. "President Ramsay seems to trust this outsider


    Tucker, a lot?"


    "No doubt. Uncle Tucker had apanied my father through this battle for so many years. I believe


    in his character, and I trust his judgment."


    At this point, Amelia did not have to tolerate Kaleb anymore!


    Kaleb''s expression switched right away. Rykertold him that Amelia and Jonathan did not get along


    well with each other! How did this f*cking sound like they were not on good terms?


    But it was all already toote...


    There was no benefit for him in having a falling out with Amelia at this moment!


    So, Kaleb could only bottle up his frustration. "Okay then! Since President Ramsay has made up


    her mind, then there''s nothing else we can say. Let''s go!"


    The others quickly put down their coffee mugs, got up from their seats, and followed closely behind


    Kaleb.


    "Uncle Kaleb..." Amelia called out to him all of a sudden.


    Kaleb then looked back, and his words were somewhat tinged with some emotions when he


    asked, "President Ramsay, do you have other instructions for me?"


    Amelia smiled faintly, then said, "I was bored recently and had been looking through everyone''s


    attendance records. I found that quite a few of you have the habit of showing upte to work and


    leaving early. Apex Construction Corporation has always been strict towards employees. But


    considering that you''re all my elders, I''ll just give you guys a warning for now. However, if something


    like this happens again, I can only...handle this justly."


    The more Amelia spoke, the more sour Kaleb''s and the rest''s faces became.


    Narrowing his eyes, Kaleb then forced himself to say, "We have learned our lesson!"


    No one else said anything.


    Then, the door opened and shut.


    Just as Amelia heaved a sigh of relief, her stomach lurched and churned!


    A nauseating sensation rose to her throat in an instant. Amelia bolted for the toilet right away,


    opened the toilet lid, and retched.


    Finally suppressing the sudden vomiting, an ominous feeling dawned upon her...
