Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1459

What was going on? That was the question that was ringing in everyone's mind.

Kaleb and the other directors were not the biggest of the problems. After all, they were familiar faces to the managers in the room. But, who were the girl and the old man?

"You're right. That girl looks familiar..." A departmental manager stared at Brittany and whispered to the rest.

Someone got the answer right away. "She doesn't just look familiar. She's the youngest daughter of Chairman Ramsay! She's Amelia's sister!"

"What?"

"But as I know, they're half-sisters..." The gossip was continuing.

Amelia did not pay attention to their comments at all. She stared blankly at the old man, Derrick, her grandfather, in front of her.

Her disfluency in calling him 'grandpa' caused Derrick to cast a glance at Amelia. There was no emotion in his eyes, which saddened Amelia a little.

Although she had not seen him for twenty years, she remembered that Derrick had hugged her when she was a child. But, everything changed after Petty committed suicide. The Simmons family no longer had any contact with the Ramsay family, and they never came to see her.

Why?

At that time, the Simmons family should have loved her more because she was their granddaughter, was that not right?

After all, Amelia had lost her mother and the Simmons family had lost their daughter.

They should have depended on each other to go through the despair, but the Simmons family was so aloof that they ignored her for twenty years.

In the past twenty years, Amelia had tried putting herself in the shoes of the Simmons family. She thought that the Simmons family hated George as well as the Ramsay family because of Petty's suicide. Also Amelia, who was George's daughter, got a share of their resentment.

The other possibility was that since the Simmons family had lost their beloved daughter, and because Amelia resembled Petty, the Simmons family distanced themselves from Amelia as they were afraid of being reminded of the tragedy.

However, this possibility was mostly selfflattering, and it could not cover up the fact that the Simmons family had ignored her for so many years. So, Amelia leaned towards the first possibility.

But no matter what, the Simmons family had always been her mother's family. To Amelia, the Simmons family was like an epitome of Petty. She wanted to get closer to them, but she could only restrain herself because of the Simmons family's attitude.

So, when she saw Derrick appeared all of a sudden, Amelia was feeling more flustered than surprised.
