When Amelia heard that Brittany had gone out early in the morning, her

expression remained normal. "Isn't it normal for Brittany to head out? Her legs have recovered. With her personality, it would be strange if she could bear the loneliness."

Alice said, "It's not that simple. At about halfpast nine, I received a phone call from Detective Gary. He said Brittany was meeting with a few old men and sent me their photos. I looked at it and found out that it was actually Kaleb and the other directors of the company!"

As soon as Amelia heard about it, she felt a surge of rage rising in her heart. She had sent Kaleb out for business, but he had dared to sneak back before the scheduled date of return.

Also, the directors that Alice mentioned were probably those who were absent from work this morning!

"Alice, are the directors in the photos named Lu, Lin, Chu, and Xing?"

Alice gave it a careful thought. "It should be the ones that you mentioned. They had all gone to the hospital to visit your father before, so I still have some impression of

them."

Amelia frowned and said, "They neglected their duties during working hours, and they gathered up with Brittany. That couldn't be coincidental. What on earth are they planning to do?"

"About this... Detective Gu didn't have time to figure it out. However, I believe that with Brittany's temperament and history, they might be planning to exploit her. That's why I plan to send her back to school in two days. Amelia, you should be careful when you're in the company."

Amelia answered cautiously, "I know, Aunt Alice. I'll keep an eye out for myself!"

"Okay." Alice then asked with concern, "I wonder how Patrick's situation is."

"He's much better now. He said not to worry about him too. "Amelia replied with a smile.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Alice asked again, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Amelia touched her stomach and whispered, "I'm starving. I didn't eat enough during lunch back at the company."

The reason why she was starving was that the fish she got from the canteen was smelled and tasted too fishy. As a result, the morning sickness hit her, which emptied her stomach.

However, Alice who knew nothing about this assumed that Amelia was simply hungry for no special reason. She said, "Then let's go downstairs and eat. The kitchen stewed herbal turtle soup, which is nutritious for women. You should eat up later."

Ah!

When Amelia heard the name of the dish, Amelia felt a churn in her stomach.

At the dining table, Alice could not help but become displeased since Brittany did not come down to have dinner after waiting for her for a long time.

There was no reason for Amelia to be unhappy. It would be great if Brittany did not come down, or she would kill her appetite.

After another five minutes or so, Alice could not bear it anymore and ordered the maid to go upstairs to urge her.
