Chapter 1591

"Speaking about Gramps Hopper's birthday party."

Although Amelia really wanted to attend, she had some concerns. "Your mother... will be there at that time, right?"

Patrick gently stroked the hair on her cheek and said softly, "I think this is inevitable."

"What if she makes a fuss?"

"Don't worry. Grandpa would not let her do so in the event held by The Hopper Family."

Amelia got confident from his words. She feels warm and start nodding and said, "Well, I'll go with you."

"Awesome." A smile finally appeared on Patrick's face, the atmosphere was filled with happiness.

In the evening, in Kaleb's house

Ring, ring, ring—

The landline rang but Brittany did not dare to pick it up. It shown that the call was from Kaleb.

Fiona, who was in the kitchen, quickly came out when she heard the ringing. She picked up the microphone with one hand and made a "ssshhh" gesture at Brittany with the other hand.

In all fairness, Fiona was not bad to her, but so what? This woman was simple too timid to testify for her. So she hated her too!

Brittany scoffed and pretended that she was not interested in Kaleb's call. However, as she was hiding at the back, she tried her best to hear the conversation between Fiona and Kaleb.

Fiona replied from time to time while listening, "So you won't be back for dinner tonight? Oh... there is a celebration party for you? What! You are now the acting chairman of the company? Okay, sure... I will take good care of her and not let her run around..."

Fiona said something after that, but Brittany did not paid attention to it. It was a traumatic news to her that put her into stunned.

When Fiona put down the microphone, she saw Brittany's face was pale as if she was about to faint. She whispered, "Brittany, if you're not feeling well, you may go back to your room to rest..."

However, Brittany grabbed Fiona's arm and asked with her eyes widely open, "Aunt... Did I just hear it wrongly? Kaleb, did he really become the acting chairman?"

Fiona nodded. "That's what he said on the phone."

Brittany let go of Fiona with disappointment. She had already visited Amelia and Patrick. How could Kaleb still be the acting chairman?

Brittany kept thinking about the this until late night.

She lied on her bed but could not fall asleep. She also tried to call Amelia several times to get a clarity, but she quickly put down her cell phone. Because if she still could not figure out the answer by now, she would sound like an idiot.

She realized that as she chose to fought with Kaleb, both of them would never get any benefit from it. On the other hand, Amelia would be the person vested the benefit from it!

Amelia was no longer her "sister" nor part of "The Ramsay Family". She did not need to clean up the mess for the sake of The Ramsay Family anymore...
