Before Amelia went upstairs, she did not forget to ask about Brittany situation for Alice. "Qian Qian, where is Brittany?"
Kiara said, "Oh, Ms. Brittany is already asleep."
"Okay, its fine then. You should get some rest too."
As soon as her voice fell, Amelia took Patrick upstairs.
On the second floor.
As they passed Daniel's bedroom, Amelia slightly tilted her head and gave it a glance.
Seeing that the door was closed and that there was no light seeping out of it, it was obvious that Brittany was really asleep.
Unexpectedly, her action made Patrick's expression darken and he unconsciously tightens his grip on Amelia's shoulder.
Seeing her knitting her brows, he immediately let go of her as his heart ached for her as well
"This is my room."
As Amelia pushed open the door, Patrick saw
Amelia's boudoir in The Ramsay Mansion for the
first time.
Her room's temperament was very much like hers. It was clean and simple and it was not as pinkish and sweetish as he had imagined.
"You grew up here?"
"I lived here before I graduated from high school. Back then, I wasn't financially independent. So, I had nowhere else to go except staying here."
Patrick could easily sense the helplessness in her words. "What happened after that?"
"Later, after four years of college, I returned to Northville with my roommate Jessica and we rented a house outside. I passed the interview and entered Roxxon Corporation as a clerk while she chose to run a cafe."
A dark light flashed through Patrick's eyes.
"Wow, Jessica started running a cafe as soon as she returned to the Northville? Well, she is quite capable... Is it the one she's in now?"
Amelia nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Patrick guided her. "As far as I know, Jessica doesn't have a strong family background but her cafe is in the commercial street of Northville. Don't you think it's strange?"
Amelia shrugged. "I've thought of it before. And I tried to ask Jessica about it after that, but she said that most of the capital used in opening the cafe was by taking a loan from the bank."
Patrick sneered, "According to her, the bank that provided her with her capital wasn't a financial bank, was it? It was more likely a welfare agency."
The fact was, it was impossible to run a cafe in Northville without at least a few millions capital.
As for Jessica's social qualifications and her house when she just graduated, it was really difficult for her to persuade the bank to allocate so much money for her to start a business.
Amelia frowned and felt that there was something in Patrick's words. "What do you mean?"
Patrick smiled intriguingly. "I once investigated her family thoroughly in order to deal with Jocelyn. I found that Jocelyn's daughter has a complicated background. But I didn't have time to investigate more. After all, all I wanted to deal with was Jocelyn. But if you are interested in Jessica's past, I can...you know."
