Kaleb snorted. "I'm talking to President Ramsay. It's really not polite for Director Tucker to interrupt in such a hasty manner!"
Amelia cleared her throat and said at the right time, "Stop it you two. I'm young and have no experience in managing a company. Therefore, if I encounter any problems, I would always ask Uncle Tucker for advice and see if Uncle Tucker can give me any good suggestions."
Amelia's words immediately muted Kaleb to the point where he had nothing to say. Back when Daniel was still in power, Kaleb had used Daniel as a lever to suppress Jonathan too.
Jonathan looked at Kaleb with a cold smile, as if he was asking Kaleb what else did he wanted to say.
Kaleb took a deep breath and then said to Amelia, "Director Ramsay, what Dirrector Tucker said is also reasonable, but..."
Before everything was over, Jonathan interrupted Kaleb rudely, "But you can't bear to give up two billion dollars for this, right? Kaleb, are you really so greedy that you treated these two billion dollars as your own wealth?"
Hearing this, Kaleb's eyes widened. "Tucker, don't try to slander me!"
Jonathan asked leisurely, "If it weren't what I said, why couldn't you bear to give the two billion dollars? Do you want to keep and use it as your funeral expenses?"
Kaleb slammed the table and stood up. He was completely devoid of his demeanour. "F*ck you!"
There was a dead silence.
Kaleb's colleagues all looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
Jonathan, on the other hand, asked with a smile, "Are you mad that I saw through you and destroyed your plan?"
Kaleb sat back down sulkily with his left hand clenching into a fist and pressed against his lips. He cursed himself silently, "How can I be so impatient! Now, I'm even caught red-handed, what a disgrace!"
During this period, Amelia gestured at Ryker, who was standing behind her. She said in his ear, "Go and pour a cup of tea for my uncle to let him calm down."
Ryker looked at her strangely. In his opinion, Amelia and Jonathan were on the same team and Jonathan and Kaleb were hostile to each other. So if she showed her goodwill to Kaleb, wouldn't it be equal to be going against Jonathan?
Could it be that... this woman was trying to curry favor with both sides?
Humph! He had to agreed that Amelia was really stupid!
If she tried to curry the favor of both sides, it meant offending both sides at the same time. Not only would she fail to win over Kaleb but she would also lose Jonathan's support.
Seeing that Ryker did not move for a long time, Amelia could not help but turn to look at him. "What are you doing? Have you not understand what I've told you?"
Ryker came to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just thinking about what kind of tea Mr. Ramsay likes to drink."
The corners of Amelia's mouth curved up. "Shouldn't you know what kind of tea Kaleb likes to drink?"
Seeing that Ryker was trying to covey something with his eyes, Amelia seemed to have noticed something and fixed her glance on Ryker's tie.
Amelia raised her hand and helped him to straighten his tie. She then smiled and said, "It's crooked."
Suddenly Ryker let out a dramatic expression. Straightening a tie should be something that people who were intimate would do!
Ryker was so shocked that he remained stunned for a few moment.
