Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 855

Amelia took the milk and her cereal from the fridge and closed the door with her shoulder.

Seeing a flash of confusion and fear in Brittany's eyes, Amelia then said, "Instead of worrying about my affairs, you'd better spend more time on your future."

Brittany's heart sank. She felt as if Amelia had seen through her.

As a matter of fact, it was true.

Brittany was still inexperienced in the ways of the world, so all her expression were written on her face, she did not even know how to conceal her own emotions.

Amelia placed the milk and cereal on the table in the dining hall. She then pulled out a chair and sat down. While opening the milk bottle, she used her chin to signal Brittany to sit down on the empty chair opposite her, "If you don't mind, let's have a chat shall we?"

Brittany pursed her lips and said, "Don't talk to me like that. Who do you think you are?!"

Amelia shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't want to, we can stop talking about it. There's no need to be so aggressive. I just want to have my breakfast, so feel free to do what you want." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Seeing that Amelia did not pay any attention to her after saying this, Brittany was really triggered.

To uphold her rebellious spirit, Brittany sat on the opposite of Amelia and raised her chin to said impolitely, "What do you want to talk about, make it quick, don't waste my time!"

Amelia poured the milk into a ceramic bowl, then she grabbed a handful of cereal and put them into the bowl. After that, she stood up from the chair and walked towards the microwave.

Upon realizing that she had been ignored, Brittany was both angry and helpless. Just as she was about to explode, Amelia returned with her cereal and a pair of mittens. She took off the mitten and sat back down gracefully.

During the process, Amelia did not say a single word and it made Brittany depressed.

She glanced at Brittany from the corner of her eye and saw her staring at her. Amelia said slowly, "Do you want some? You may prepare it yourself."

Brittany slammed her fist on the table. "Amelia, don't go too far! You're the one who wanted to talk to me. Now that I'm right in front of you, you're telling me to make my own cereal? Are you trying to make a fool out of me!"

"I'm going too far?" Amelia laughed. "What did I do to make you feel that I've gone too far? Did I occupy your space? Or did I ate your food? "

Brittany blurted out, "Aren't you eating my food now?"

Amelia squinted at Brittany with her eyes full of sarcasm. "You said this is your food?"

Brittany knew that she had made an indiscreet remark and she pleaded "I..." guiltily.

Amelia stared at her and said, "Brittany, the person who is occupying the resources at home is you, not me."

Brittany's face turned red and she retorted, "Nonsense! I'm a member of this family. I can do whatever I want!"

Amelia could not help but laugh. "But you're an adult now. You have to bear the obligation and responsibility an adult should. Didn't they teach you this in high school? How can you not know this even after graduating from college?"

"By the way, when it comes to college, I have no problem with the fact that you're given the best the family could afford. After all, you need to obtain all the knowledge you could while you're in college so that one day, you could benefit the family." "But now, you got pregnant before marriage and you

were dropped out of college. If you are pregnant with the prince or the princess of The Ramsay Family, as their aunt, I would definitely agree that you should stay at home and we would take care of you. But now, you lost your child..."

Brittany's chest heaved violently as her pretty face turned livid with rage. "You're so vicious! How can you make fun of me because of the baby's death?"

Amelia then said indifferently, "You were the one who didn't listen to me and insisted on going out during the sensitive period. Who should take the blame for that tragedy? Listen, it was you who personally killed your child!"

Brittany began to break down. "It's not like what you said! Shut up! Shut up!!"

"I will naturally shut up after saying what I wanted." Amelia said flatly, "Since you lost your child, you would need to rest at home for a period of time to recover. But how long do you need? One month? Three months? Six months or a year?"

"You used the tragedy as an excuse to be lazy and you didn't want to face the reality that your child is gone. You lock yourself up in Daniel's room every day and act like you needed everyone's caring and loving. You've mentally tortured Aunt Alice to a point where she is on the verge of breaking down, aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

Brittany fought back her urge to scream. "What do you want from me? I have nothing but just my mother! If I don't rely on her, who else can I rely on, you?!"

Amelia let out a sigh and said, "So, besides father and Daniel, you're now targeting Aunt Alice? She will grow old sooner or later. At that time, can she still take care of you? It's your turn to take care of her, isn't it? You should know that I've always been biased against you and your mother. If I let you go on like this, by then, one of you would be old and the other is simply useless, what would happen then, would you dispose your mother like a piece of trash?"

Brittany retorted quickly, "That's impossible!"

"Hmm? A good answer." Amelia gave a slight expression of approval. "But it's not enough. You should grow up as soon as possible."

Brittany murmured without thinking, "Grow up? Be just like how you're now? Living life like a zombie? Even though the company is relying on you to support it, there's actually a limit to your abilities. It's not easy for you to maintain the company or even expand it. I heard from Kaleb that the Environmental Protection Bureau officers have come to look for you twice. Who knows when they'll start making a scandal about the Apex Construction Corporation. It's just like the scandal about Patrick!"

Amelia tightened her grip on the spoon. With a calm expression, she said, "Brittany, I know that your 'brain' is just a decoration for you. But I did not expect you to start acting like a mad dog the moment you use it that you'd just bark at everyone and bite anyone wherever you go."

Brittany said with a look of hatred, "I guess you must have been pissed off by me?"

"First of all, you said that I made myself into a zombie. That's not true. Although my life is chaotic right now, everything is still within my control. Just like when I got up this morning, I still have the time to take a hot bath."

"Second, my ability is indeed limited. Whether I can maintain the company in the future is a problem, but I'm holding on to it now. How many months have passed since Daniel had been in jail?

If you were the acting chairperson, how long can you hold on?"

"Third, as for the officers of the Environmental Protection Bureau... Forget it, let's not talk about the details of this matter. But don't worry, I will not lead the company into a shitty situation. Have I made it clear, Brittany?"
