The date that Alice mentioned was very close to the date when Kiara came to work, which left Amelia even more bewildered. "Aunt Alice, have you realized that the date you said is exactly the same as the time Daniel was sent to prison?"
After being reminded by Amelia, Alice was shocked and said, "That's true!" After a pause, Alice said thoughtfully, "But... Amelia, please don't mind what I'm trying to say."
"Well! Please go on."
"Those servants who left are all those who took care of Brittany and Daniel. I think it's possible that they think that Daniel has lost his power and influence, and you're now in power. They're afraid that you'll retaliate after you take over The Ramsay Family, so they simply resign."
It appeared that this was the only reason...
Amelia was amused at her own suspiciousness. Daniel was in jail. What was with all these useless thoughts?
She then said, "By the way, I came over because I want to rest here tonight."
She would not go back until Patrick withdrew the command of sacking Huxton.
Upon hearing this, Alice happily said, "Okay." After that, she felt a little strange and asked, "Amelia, did you... have a fight with Patrick?"
The reason why she threw this question at her was that she could tell that Amelia was not in the mood to be home and looked anxious.
Amelia made no attempt to conceal. After sitting down with Alice, she said with a suppressed voice, "Yes, I don't see eye to eye with him about certain things. I have no choice but to move out temporarily."
She did not take any extra clothes with her although she had moved out. Patrick had said that if she did not dismiss Huxton, she would never be allowed to enter the Land of Fragrance.
To be honest, it was hard for her to understand why Patrick would treat Huxton like that. Whether it was the butler or the bodyguard, Huxton played every role very well. He was so excellent that she thought Huxton should be there as soon as she went home. He was like a shadow, inconspicuous yet so important.
What Amelia did not know was that Patrick had been keeping this in mind for a long time. He had thought of dismissing Huxton before. If it were not for Amelia's persuasion and the mention of Scarlett,
Patrick would have peacefully laid Huxton off without any reason.
Considering Patrick's possessive nature, it was rare for him to be able to stand Amelia living with another guy for such a long time, and it happened that she was getting more and more concerned about Huxton. Even though she thought of him as a friend, he still could not bear to see her paying attention to another man!
Once a person endured something for too long, he would probably go insane. On top of that, Patrick was used to doing whatever he wanted. This way of revenge was going to be even more extraordinary.
Hearing that Amelia wanted to move out temporarily, Alice said without thinking, "Don't go anywhere else. Just stay here as long as you like!"
Hearing this, Amelia was somewhat satisfied. Although The Ramsay Family was her natal family, Amelia and The Ramsay Family had been estranged from each other for years. But right this moment she hearing what Alice said, she suddenly felt a sense of belonging.
Soon, Alice realized that there was nothing but only a leather bag beside Amelia.
She could not help asking, "Amelia, where's your luggage? Is it still in the car? I asked someone to get it for you..."
