Chapter 276
Meanwhile, in The Ramsay Family.
Daniel looked around. After making sure that Alice didn't come back, he took out the master key and opened the study room. After entering, he quickly closed the door.
A pair of eyes behind the lens lit up when seeing the famous painting hanging in the study. Daniel took a few steps forward to open the painting. As Brittany said, there was a safe behind it.
After observing for a while, Daniel carefully started to operate on it.
From Brittany's words, he could tell that what was inside meant a lot to George. His instinct told him that inside it was not money, but some secrets of The Ramsay Family, which was also what he was eager to verify.
After putting on the birthday date of George, Amelia, and Brittany's, the screen read the wrong password. Unexpectedly, the alarm sounded!
Daniel's pupils contracted sharply. He didn't expect that. Just as he was about to rush out of the door, he bumped into Alice, who was coming back to change clothes.
Seeing him running out of the study with a pale face, plus the shrill alarm, Alice lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing here?"
It was the first time that Daniel encountered such a big crisis. He almost couldn't breathe, "Mom..."
Before he finished his words, Alice had already passed by him and entered the room. Seeing that the coffer was safe and sound, she felt relieved. But then, she challenged Daniel sternly," Why are you in George's room?"
Daniel rolled his eyes and pretended to be anxious, "Just like you, I heard the alarm, so I went here to check. D*mn someone had picked the lock of the study! I was about to run out and shout, but I didn't expect to run into you!"
After a pause, Daniel asked nervously, "Did you find any suspicious figures when you entered the door?"
Alice was fooled by Daniel's seriousness. She began to suspect others, "No, is there a thief at home?"
"Maybe it's the servant." Daniel said with a serious expression, "Recently, the house is empty, and it might give them a chance. Maybe he heard my footsteps while I was going upstairs. Let's call the police!"
Hearing that, Alice's doubts had all gone. She didn't know that Daniel was the thief crying "thief". "The safe system is connected to the bank. As soon as the alarm goes off, the bank will contact us immediately. We only need to wait at home." She explained.
"Alright." Daniel lowered his eyelids to hold back his fear from the fluke.
In the Land of Fragrance.
When Amelia spread out the sheet, Patrick suddenly pushed the door and came in. "Mrs. Hopper, it's almost time. We should go."
After laying it flat, Amelia clapped her hands and stood up, "I'll leave this room for Florence in the next few days."
Patrick was dissatisfied. "Why did you take that devil in?"
Amelia refuted his address, "No one could be described as a devil when compared to you."
Patrick frowned and reached out his hand to hook Amelia before him, "Are you saying that I'm outrageous?"
Amelia squinted and said with a smile, "Why don't you take it as a compliment?"
They were so close to each other that Patrick could even smell the fragrance of her hair. He suddenly wanted to stay in the room. He put his hand into her V-neck and let out a long breath, "I want to..."
"You wish!" Amelia pushed his hand away with trembling fingertips. She felt inexplicably burning after being touched by him.
While she was pushing him away, Patrick suddenly dragged her collar. His casual movement made her exposed.
Amelia covered her collar angrily and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Unfortunately, Patrick's attention was different from hers. "You're wearing a flesh- colored bra? That's flesh-colored!"
Amelia gnashed her teeth and said, "You are a jerk!"
Patrick glared at her and ordered, "Change to other colors! Change it into something else! Is there any difference between the flesh- colored and being
naked?"
After quarreling for a while, Amelia compromised, "What on earth do you want me to do? Tell me what you want!"
Patrick put it bluntly, "Change a different color!"
"Red?"
"No way! That would be too sexy." Patrick refused.
"Black?"
"No! Still too hot."
Amelia's expression darkened gradually. "You don't want me to wear corsets, do you?"
Patrick touched his chin and said with a thoughtful expression, "That's fine."
Amelia didn't want to be teased by him anymore. She smoothed her collar and passed him, saying, "That's it."
"Wait!" Patrick took Amelia's hand and returned to their bedroom. He stood in front of the cabinet and picked a high- collar sweater for her, "Go get changed."
"No, that's not my type!" Amelia protested.
Patrick patted Amelia's head and said with a smile, "I am worrying that you will catch a cold.
Amelia was speechless.
After changing clothes, Amelia in a sweater went downstairs with Patrick in a suit. Florence, pretending to check her watch, whispered to Granny Hopper, "Grandma, Patrick and Amelia had been alone altogether for only 8 minutes. That's too fast!
Hmm, I'm sure that Patrick has a physiological problem."
Granny Hopper, who had been worried about Patrick's health from the beginning, became more worried when hearing that. She almost lost her interest in the family banquet.
Patrick, not aware of what they were talking about, said in a flat voice, "Let's go."
In The Ramsay Family.
"Sir, that's it. If possible, please arrange more fellows here to prevent any accidents from happening."
The policeman, who was recording the confession, took the time to look at Daniel, "No problem."
Daniel nodded politely, "Thank you."
After the policemen left, Daniel heard that Alice muttering to herself, "Fortunately, no important things lost. Otherwise, how can I explain it to Geroge?"
Daniel pretended to be kind and approached her. He said with concern, "Mom, it's all my fault. If I appear in time, maybe I can catch the thief who sneaked into our house!"
Alice grabbed Daniel's hand with fear and said, "It doesn't matter. You are what I care about most. I don't want to see any troubles that happen to you."
If anything happened to Daniel, Apex Construction Corporation would be helpless.
Daniel glanced at Alice's tired face and said thoughtfully, "You haven't had enough rest recently. Why not I go to the hospital to take care of dad tonight?"
Alice hesitated and said, "But you have to go to work tomorrow..."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
