Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1552

"Yes." Brittany did not deny the thought that she wanted to replace Amelia.

Kaleb went on to say, "In this period, I've carefully considered it. Although you're inexperienced, you're young and rich, which is much better than those sick old men at the board of directors."

Brittany was puzzled. Was Kaleb trying to help her?

Kaleb could not help but laugh when he saw Brittany staring at him in such disbelief. "My dear niece, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Uncle Kaleb, what are you trying to say? I'm dense, so please speak frankly." Brittany hoped she was not overthinking.

Kaleb pointed at her and laughed. "If you're dense, then why will I support you to be the acting director?"

Brittany's eyes widened with shock in an instant. "Uncle... Uncle Kaleb, did I hear you correctly?"

Kaleb patted the back of Brittany's hand, then said with a smile, "You didn't mishear me. I said I'll support you to become the acting director. Did you hear me clearly this time?"

Brittany asked in awe, "But... why?" "What do you mean 'why'? You're George's daughter, and you own shares of Apex Construction Corporation. If you don't take over as the acting director, who else can do it?" Kaleb responded matter-of-factly.

Brittany replied automatically, "But... there's you too..."

"Me?" Kaleb seemed to have heard a joke and chuckled for a moment. He then continued, "No, no, no. I'm old and I want to enjoy my remaining years with leisure. So, how can I take on the responsibility?"

Brittany stared at him for a long while before questioning, "Uncle Kaleb, are you serious?"

Kaleb answered with a straight face, "Of course, I've been thinking about it since you put forward the idea to me previously."

"But..." This sudden turn of events made Brittany panic.

Seeing this, Kaleb suddenly stopped smiling and asked, "Brittany, don't tell me that you only told me that you wanted to be the acting director for jokes?"

"Of course not!" Brittany refuted hastily, "I do want to be the acting director! Uncle Kaleb, if you help me take over the position, I'll listen to whatever you say at the company. I... I'll be at your command!"

Kaleb waved his hand. "I can't do that. Being the acting director basically means you're the acting president. Nobody can command you other than your father."

"Uncle Kaleb..."

Seeing that Brittany's eyes were slightly reddening, Kaleb became even more amiable and went on, "All right, don't thank me just yet. You've passed my test, but the rest of the directors haven't agreed. You have a tough battle to fight."

Brittany's expression turned grim. "Uncle Kaleb, what should I do?"

Kaleb then analyzed the situation of the various parties on the board of directors. "Don't you worry, I have a lot of people on my side. As long as I give out the word, I'm sure they won't refuse."

Brittany asked worriedly, "But I don't know any of them. Will they help me?"

Kaleb replied sincerely, "Silly child, they're with me, and you're my niece. They're doing themselves a favour by helping you."

Kaleb's words made sense.

Kaleb continued, "However, just in case, you should meet them with me in private. It's better to get familiar with them."
