Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 77

Alice analyzed the status quo and said, "My dear, although you don't work at Apex, your mom left you 20% of the shares. You are the major shareholder of Apex. If you don't assume office, the candidate remained is Daniel."

Facing Alice, Amelia said, "Alice, you plan well. You know that I don't have any experience in construction and the board of directors will doubt my capability. There is younger son-in-law in The Ramsay Family, who was born to be a civil engineer and is justified in taking over Apex. Then why do you have to pretend to be nice to me?"

Sighing softly, Alice said, "The reason why I discussed about this with you is that I'm worried about your dad's health, not for the benefits brought by taking over Apex."

Amelia had nothing to say. If she didn't give up her authority and wasn't capable of taking over the business, then in the future, she would definitely be the sinner.

Thinking twice, she said, "Ask your husband to persuade me in person."

In the ward.

When Alice came back, George was trying to get up for some water. She hurried over and stopped his trembling hand, saying, "Let me help you."

George smile helplessly and put down the kettle, sighed, "I'm getting old."

"No way!" Alice scolded lightly, with tears in her eyes.

To cheer Alice up, George Ramsay changed the topic, asking, "Where have you been just now?"

Giving him a cup of water and helping him sit properly, she said, "Amelia was here. We've chatted outside for a while."

George tightened his hand and asked, "Where's she now?"

"She's gone." Alice replied.

George tried to comfort himself, saying, "Thanks God... It's good that she still cares about me."

Alice hesitated for a moment and said, "I told her what you meant, but she hoped that you would personally tell her your decision."

Nodding, George said with relief, "At least she follows my instruction. She would have probably left. After all, she hates me so much."

Alice comforted him and said, "My dear, if she knows the truth, she will definitely change her mind."

George's face darkened, and he said, "No way! I'd rather her blame me lifelong than knowing about the truth!"

Standing outside, Daniel had no idea what the "truth" was.

They gradually lowered their volume and stopped talking about it.

At home.

Amelia came back by taxi. Patrick must have gone as he was annoyed by her scolding.

Patrick usually drove fast and should have arrived home earlier. But he hadn't.

Where was he?

Thinking about this, she thought up: Cynthia, the gossip actress, Maryanne Smith...

He could stay anywhere he wanted and she didn't have to worry about him.

After a shower, Amelia went to the bed, thinking about what Alice said, falling into the first confusion in her life...

The next morning, Saturday.

Walking around the house with her silk pajamas, Amelia found that Patrick had not come back overnight.

Dressing up, she was about to go shopping.
