Chapter 712
When the man heard that Amelia knew about Patrick and the woman in red heels, he snorted coldly and asked aggressively, "You knew? Then why were you so shocked just now? Why was your face look so pale? Everyone here could tell you voice sound like you were crying!"
Zheng Yiqiang quickly added, "That's right! She sounded weird"
Someone else added, "President Ramsay, did you just made this up?"
Even the leader began to shake his head. "President Ramsay, I'm sorry. It seems that you are not well prepared enough for this Eastern District's project. Well, please sit down. Next person..."
As soon as the leader finished speaking, the staff quickly came to Amelia and reached out to take her microphone.
However the microphone was held tightly by Amelia. She did not want to return it at all. If she returned it, it meant that the Eastern District's project would just slipped away from her!
The staff said helplessly, "President Ramsay, please don't make things difficult for me..."
All of a sudden, a person's name flashed across Amelia's mind.
She swallowed hard and said, "Leaders, it doesn't matter whether my husband and I will have marriage crisis because of this woman. However, there is one thing I must declare. In addition to Roxxon Corporation, there is another powerful investor behind Apex Construction Corporation!"
The leaders looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they sent one representative to ask because they still need to do it for Howard's sake, "Who?"
Amelia's eyes turned red, and she desperately said, "Quartley!"
Kaiden's expression was originally idle, but when he heard Amelia's words, it immediately underwent a huge change.
He suddenly lifted his eyes to look at Amelia. He knew in his heart that she had told the biggest lie!
Jonathan was scared out of his wits as well. He felt as if his heart had stopped at this moment. His eyes were staring at Amelia in a daze.
After a strange silence, the man with the magazine in his hand asked suspiciously, "President Ramsay, everyone knows that 'Quartley' has always been mysterious and does things according to his ways. How can we easily believe that you have persuaded him to invest?
The crowd asked one after another, "Yes, who can prove it?"
Amelia bit her lower lip. She really had no choice but to say the name 'Quartley'. However, she had no idea who 'Quartley' was or how he looked like.
These people forced her to show them the proof. What should she do?
When Amelia was lost in her thoughts, Kaiden suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "I can prove it!"
Kaiden's voice was not loud, but it was loud and powerful in everyone's ears!
The man who was holding a scandal magazine was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Kaiden and stuttered, "You are... Quartley's..."
Amelia frowned and glanced at Kaiden. She moved the microphone away and whispered to him, "What are you doing here!"
She did not want to implicate innocent people!
Kaiden stared at her and could feel her shoulders line tighten. She would definitely collapse on the spot if the crowd kept attacking her again.
"It's okay, I'll help you." Kaiden gave her a resolute look.
Amelia's eyes flickered. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say to Kaiden.
Kaiden held out his hand. "Give me the microphone."
Amelia was in silence.
Kaiden did not show any mercy and asked, "Or do you think you can deal with the following situation?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Amelia closed her eyes and reluctantly shoved the microphone into Kaiden's hand.
After Kaiden took the microphone, his gaze returned to the crowd. He said clearly, "I notice that everyone seems to be very well-informed, so everyone should know that I'm Mr. Quartley's cousin right?"
Amelia's head buzzed and went blank as if she had been hit by a bomb when she heard this!
Kaiden smiled when he noticed nobody questioned him and he continued talking, "Unfortunately, my cousin has something to do today, so he can't accompany President Ramsay to this event. He assigned me to be his representative. As you can see, I sat next to President Ramsay as soon as I came. After all, I am representing my cousin today so I should sit next to the cooperating company."
After a pause, Kaiden cupped his hands at Mr. Woods and said, "Because of this, I did not hesitate to occupy your previous seat. Mr. Woods, I apologize to you in front of everyone!"
Mr. Woods quickly smiled and waved his hand as if he did not take it by his heart.
After getting Mr. Woods's forgiveness, Kaiden looked at the crowd again and said, "Today, I'll be the witness on behalf of President Ramsay. If anyone doesn't believe it, I have my cousin's phone number here. You can choose one representative and call my cousin to ask for prove. In case you would like to accuse of me and President Ramsay are in the same boat and trying to lie to you!"
Mr. Stone who was on the stage said honestly, "We can't do that. Mr. Wright, you are Mr. Quartley's favourite cousin. Everyone knew it since the day you were born. If we made this phone call,
Mr. Quartley might think that we didn't trust him. Then we would offend him for no reason, wouldn't we?"
For a moment, there were still some people under the stage who were ready to make a move. However, they immediately dismissed the idea of calling for Mr. Quartley.
Unknowingly, they were brainwashed by Mr. Stone's words. They thought that it was a cold hard fact that Kaiden was Mr. Quartley's cousin.
Furthermore, Mr. Quartley had a lot of things to do daily, so it was understandable that his most beloved cousin would accompany his business partners to such event.
And the most convincing thing was that Kaiden never lie, especially for women. This was because
he was well-known for disliking women!
After Kaiden showed Mr. Stone a cryptic smile, he politely said to everyone, "Leaders and bosses, I have finished what I want to say. Oh! By the way, in fact I do not only represent my cousin today but myself too. I also requested to join the Apex Construction Corporation and will obey to President Ramsay's orders."
All the leaders on the stage and the bosses under the stage was in shock when they heard this.
Mr. Quartley was not enough and there was even another talent on board. Mr. Quartley as the investor and Kaiden as the interior designer. Apex Construction Corporation was going all out!
Kaiden glanced around. He was satisfied that the crowd were not convinced but speechless. He deliberately flattered Amelia and said, "Now, I'd like to invite my cousin's business partner to say a few words. Thank you all!"
As his voice fell, he passed the microphone to Amelia's hand. When he touched the skin on the back of her hand, he was surprised to find that her hand was so cold that he could easily think of her as a dead person.
Just a few moments before, Amelia did have a feeling that she was about to die. However, she felt alive again after Kaiden's interruption.
Dead or alive...
She had experienced it all in just two minutes.
