"But later I was thinking, Amelia is innocent after all. She might not even know anything about the three of you! All she wants is to help her father's construction company!
Cousin, do you know why she mentioned your name at that meeting room? That's because she was doubted by those in the meeting when she first called out Patrick's name! Someone first brought up the rumors of Patrick having affair.
It was like casting a stone across water to make many ripples. More and more competing companies began to argue that their marriage was at stake. They even said that Patrick was going to withdraw his investment in Apex Construction Corporation at any time which might lead to the planning project being put on halt.
This suggests that Amelia was not any special to Patrick. Such a woman is completely useless for us. There is no way that we are going to make Patrick suffering by using her!"
Seeing Kaiden's aggressive reaction and tone as he spoke, a strange feeling began to creep on Sawyer.
Kaiden had never fancied any women before. Sawyer wondered if he had ever noticed that his
attitude towards Amelia had changed.
If this was the case, Sawyer was convinced that Amelia was in fact a capable person who managed to let Kaiden make an exception for her without him realizing at all.
Pulling himself from the thought, Sawyer replied calmly, "Can. If you wish to stop now, I'll respect your decision."
With great surprise, Kaiden wanted to confirm that he had not misheard, "Is that real, cousin?"
Nodding, Sawyer said, "If you don't believe me, later I'll bring up this matter on my own to Ms. Amelia. She will be notified that I've changed my mind."
Hearing this, Kaiden hurriedly said, "No! You can't do this!"
Sawyer stared at him in confusion.
Kaiden was feeling embarrassed upon being stared by his cousin. After all, he was the one who started the game. Yet it was him too that wanted to put an end to this game. He wondered if his cousin would think that he had made a fool of him.
"Cousin, take it as a favor I'm asking personally from you. Can you help Apex Construction Corporation? You're the only person that can help her now."
Sawyer fell into momentary silence. Under the nervous stare he received from Kaiden, he muttered
softly, "Yes."
Instantly, Kaiden put on a bright smile on his face and exclaimed, "Cousin, you're so supportive!"
Sawyer shrugged as if he had no other choice but to agree with Kaiden's plea. He said, "Fine, since now we've already reached mutual agreement. Don't you think you should go get our special guest back now?"
Upon being reminded, Kaiden came to realization, "Oh yeah! How can I forget this? I'm going to get her now. Oh by the way, can you get rid of these brain plasma and the dead monkey from the table? I lose all my appetite seeing them!"
With his expression calm, Sawyer made an order to the chef who was standing by the table all this while, "Get rid of them now."
Kaiden found Amelia right outside the mansion. All he could see was that she was leaning against a tree while murmuring to herself with her expression terrified still.
Kaiden came to her back on purpose. Shortening the distance between the two of them, he could hear her murmuring, "I don't mean to scare you. Don't be scared."
He wondered who was she murmuring to.
Kaiden could not help looking around just to confirm that there was no one around.
He was afraid that she might get so much shock from the dead monkey that she was undergoing psychotic episode.
