Kaleb snorted. "I'm talking to President Ramsay. It's really not polite for Director Tucker to interrupt in such a hasty manner!"
Amelia cleared her throat and said at the right time, "Stop it you two. I'm young and have no experience in managing a company. Therefore, if I encounter any problems, I would always ask Uncle Tucker for advice and see if Uncle Tucker can give me any good suggestions."
Amelia's words immediately muted Kaleb to the point where he had nothing to say. Back when Daniel was still in power, Kaleb had used Daniel as a lever to suppress Jonathan too.
Jonathan looked at Kaleb with a cold smile, as if he was asking Kaleb what else did he wanted to say.
Kaleb took a deep breath and then said to Amelia, "Director Ramsay, what Dirrector Tucker said is also reasonable, but..."
Before everything was over, Jonathan interrupted Kaleb rudely, "But you can't bear to give up two billion dollars for this, right? Kaleb, are you really so greedy that you treated these two billion dollars as your own wealth?"
Hearing this, Kaleb's eyes widened. "Tucker, don't try to slander me!"
Jonathan asked leisurely, "If it weren't what I said, why couldn't you bear to give the two billion dollars? Do you want to keep and use it as your funeral expenses?"
Kaleb slammed the table and stood up. He was completely devoid of his demeanour. "F*ck you!"
There was a dead silence.
Kaleb's colleagues all looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
Jonathan, on the other hand, asked with a smile, "Are you mad that I saw through you and destroyed your plan?"
Kaleb sat back down sulkily with his left hand clenching into a fist and pressed against his lips. He cursed himself silently, "How can I be so impatient! Now, I'm even caught red-handed, what a disgrace!"
During this period, Amelia gestured at Ryker, who was standing behind her. She said in his ear, "Go and pour a cup of tea for my uncle to let him calm down."
Ryker looked at her strangely. In his opinion, Amelia and Jonathan were on the same team and Jonathan and Kaleb were hostile to each other. So if she showed her goodwill to Kaleb, wouldn't it be equal to be going against Jonathan?
Could it be that... this woman was trying to curry favor with both sides?
Humph! He had to agreed that Amelia was really stupid!
If she tried to curry the favor of both sides, it meant offending both sides at the same time. Not only would she fail to win over Kaleb but she would also lose Jonathan's support.
Seeing that Ryker did not move for a long time, Amelia could not help but turn to look at him. "What are you doing? Have you not understand what I've told you?"
Ryker came to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just thinking about what kind of tea Mr. Ramsay likes to drink."
The corners of Amelia's mouth curved up. "Shouldn't you know what kind of tea Kaleb likes to drink?"
Seeing that Ryker was trying to covey something with his eyes, Amelia seemed to have noticed something and fixed her glance on Ryker's tie.
Amelia raised her hand and helped him to straighten his tie. She then smiled and said, "It's crooked."
Suddenly Ryker let out a dramatic expression. Straightening a tie should be something that people who were intimate would do!
Ryker was so shocked that he remained stunned for a few moment.
Kaleb gritted his teeth and said, "The company is now in the brisk of falling. It is really not easy to get a big project that would guarantee to bring back good returns. I agree with President Ramsay's suggestion of returning two billion dollars to the bank!"
"Good!" Amelia raised her eyebrows and said, "That's a happy decision. Let's call it a day!"
Happy? Sad tears were actually streaming down the hearts of Kaleb and the others.
After Kaleb left the meeting room, he received a phone call from Ryker. The general content was, Amelia asked Ryker to make tea for him.
When Kaleb heard this, he said arrogantly, "Nonsense, no matter what, I'm still an elder in her family! How can she disrespect me?"
Ryker asked softly, "Director Ramsay, I was wondering if she wants to draw you over to her side on purpose."
Kaleb was full of self-confidence. "There's no need to draw me over to her side. My last name is Ramsay, and hers is Ramsay too. Sooner or later, she'll draw herself close to me!"
Ryker said, "But as far as I know, she seems to trust
Jonathan very much now? It was Johnathan who accompanied her to visit all the family members of the casualties!"
Kaleb replied disdainfully, "A lackey like Jonathan is nothing to be afraid of. What I want is Amelia to come and beg me personally!"
Ryker asked, "Will she?"
Kaleb smiled and said, "Don't worry, the partners and sponsors that I asked you to sort out were not easy to deal with. As long as Amelia fail to get the deal, she will definitely come to me for help. After all, the real list is in the hands of Daniel and me. Even Jonathan doesn't have the qualifications to know them."
