Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 876

Not moved by his threaten, Amelia calmly said, "You've just said that you are under duty to protect your cousin's guest."

Kaiden continued to threaten insidiously, "But if you push me pass my limit, I'm afraid that I can't guarantee this."

Amelia was not deterred. She shrugged, "I've already reached an agreement with Mr. Quartley. Let's see what you have to say to him if you feed me to crocodiles."

Hearing this, Kaiden could not help exclaimed, "Huh? What agreement?!"

With a victorious smile, Amelia said, "Mr. Quartley had already agreed to invest in Apex Construction Corporation. We'll officially become business partners once I bring over the legal documents next meeting. I can be very effective, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Kaiden could not even force a smile on his face. He had never expected that his cousin was going to give the green light to this request of investing Apex Construction Corporation without a doubt.

His cousin was never a reckless person. Kaiden thought that he would at least keep a close eye on Apex Construction Corporation for some time before he reached his decision.

The cruelty living in his cold blood had made him an extraordinarily calm person. Otherwise, he would not be thrilled at watching two starved beasts killing each other.

In his belief, only the strongest and best one were entitled to survive. Hence, he found satisfaction through watching the weak one died out from the competition. There was no doubt that in his eyes Apex Construction Corporation was supposed to be ruled out from the market due to its immoral conduct.

Even if his cousin wanted to repay Amelia for her contribution of blood, he had already made an arrangement with Wayion to help Amelia which was more than enough. Kaiden wondered why would his cousin continue to meddle in her affair.

All this could only be justified by one reason. His cousin wanted to participate in the game he proposed to him the other day! If that was the case, then his ultimate goal was no longer Apex Construction Corporation but Amelia!

Thinking of this, Kaiden could not help turning his back to Amelia and sighed.

A trace of regret began to creep on him. He could

have stopped it from happening this way.

Soon, he found himself being ridiculous. After all, he was the one who came up with this game. Since everything had been going according to his plan, he should have been delighted. With his cousin's charm and wealth, it would not take long for Amelia to fall into the trap he set up. If this was the case, Kaiden wondered why would he still feel heavy-hearted.

"Kaiden, what's wrong with you?"

Amelia's voice had immediately pulled him out from his thought.

After taking a deep breath, he turned around and said, "Amelia, do you know there are only crocodiles in this aquarium?"

Amelia replied , "I guess Mr. Quartley only likes wild beast, am I right?"

"You're right." Kaiden asked again, "Then do you know why there're only two crocodiles in this big cage?"

"I don't know." Amelia shook her head in reply.

"Come closer and take a look." Kaiden said with his tone serious.

Amelia was moved by his seriousness. She did what he said and began walking towards the metal cage.

Due to sun setting and that she was some distance away, all this while she had not been paying close attention to the condition of the crocodiles. Upon closer inspection, she could see that those crocodiles were covered with severe bite marks and injuries.

It seemed like one of the crocodiles suffered more severe injuries. Its wound was exposed in the air while blood oozing out profusely from it. It was lying at the corner of the cage without moving at this moment.

Amelia was stunned by this view. She turned around to ask Kaiden who was standing behind her, "They are both injured, aren't they?"

"Yes." Putting on the rubber gloves, Kaiden began to throw the meat cutlets from the pail into the cage. As soon as the meat fell on the ground, the crocodile with less severe injury immediately crawled to it and picked it up.

Amelia asked again, "Since both of them are severely injured, why aren't they being sent for treatment?"

While feeding, Kaiden replied sternly, "Because this is what my cousin wants."

Amelia was about to demand for a reason when she halted her question all in a sudden.

She would be a total idiot if she still could not get the meaning of his sentence.

But there was also another question that bothered her. She asked it out loud, "Kaiden, may I know why did you tell me this?"

Kaiden stared at the Nile crocodile who was enjoying his feast. He asked her back, "Honestly speaking, what do you think of my cousin?"

Amelia thought for a moment and said, "Since this is only the first time we met, I will say that he's a straightforward person that doesn't like to beat around the bush. But to my surprise, he is not that hard to convince. So I guess he's someone kind despite he's distantly cold at first instance."

After all, Sawyer was Ryan's son. Her instinct told her that he was a good person.

Kaiden sneered, "You will only think that he is easy to be convinced because you've gained something from him. Let's take the crocodiles as examples. They get to eat the freshest and most expensive part of a cow fed by my cousin every day. I guess if crocodiles ever have brains like dogs, they would think that my cousin is a good person too."

Glancing at the crocodile which was dying, Amelia could not help feeling terrified. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Kaiden continued with a meaningful look, "When I was here last month, there were approximately ten Nile crocodiles being kept in this cage. But today, there are two left now. Oh wait, I guess there will

only be one remaining very soon."

Amelia could not help looking at the crocodile which was lying at the corner at this moment. Taking into consideration of its wound and the fact that it could not eat at all, it was only counting days to its death.

She thought of Kaiden telling her that there were only two left from approximately ten Nile crocodiles at the beginning.

"Simon, please don't let my cousin know that I've fed the crocodiles twice today."

"My cousin doesn't like to feed them full."

Amelia swallowed a little at the recall of memory. Now, she finally understood that it was Sawyer's intention to make sure these crocodiles were not adequately fed so that they were forced to kill each other.

Kaiden stared into her crystal-clear eyes which was filled with confusion and fear. At this very moment, he was driven by impulse to protect her from any harm. He said, "You'll always think that he's a kind person until you finally get to witness his cruelty. Amelia, you have to watch out for yourself."

Amelia took a side glance at him before she asked, "He's your cousin, isn't he? I only get to meet him in person because of your help. If you've already known that he's vicious in character, why would you tell me all these after you've led me into this

danger?"

Kaiden frowned in frustration. Not only Amelia, even he himself would want to know the reason behind his hesitation!

There was a hint of determination flashing across her eyes before she brought herself to say, "But even now that I know your cousin's true color, it won't make any changes to me. All I need is to get his investment so that I can fulfil my promise to government and my company!"

Kaiden wanted to say something but he was interrupted by the sound of door opening.

"Mr. Wright, Ms. Amelia, I'm here to inform you that dinner is ready to be served. Please come with me."

Kaiden decided to keep his mouth shut. He sped up throwing the meat into the cage and removed his glove as soon as he emptied the pail.

Subsequently, he handed the pail to to servant who had came to invite them for dinner before he ordered with his tone cold, "Get rid of this. Mind only your business."

The servant replied warily, "Yes, sir."
