On the night Amelia got pregnant, She discovered her husband Leo had impregnated a lady. He left a divorce agreement and despite Amelia's pleading, she couldn't keep him from leaving. Six years later, she returned in a grand fashion. Facing the man who had once abandoned her and was responsible for her brother's death, she sought revenge against him but the man begged for reconciliation. Will she carry on with her revenge or give him a second chance?
View MoreShe managed a tight smile and instinctively stepped back, trying to create some distance between them. “Uh... thanks for your help,” she said softly. “You should be grateful,” Leo replied with a smirk. “I did a lot today, didn’t I? But...” He closed the gap between them again, his expression amused. “Is a simple thank you really sufficient? Just words?” What’s his deal? Amelia wondered. Did he wake up and decide to act like an overbearing boss today? She could only muster another strained smile, forcing politeness. “Didn’t I cook for you earlier tonight? Isn’t that enough thanks?” Leo chuckled. “Not even close. And are you sure that meal was for me? Or was it more for you and the kids, with me just being an afterthought?” Amelia stared at him, momentarily speechless. Why hasn't he figured out how to be decent yet, and now he’s nitpicking? She managed a strained laugh. “Leo, do you really want to go down this road?” Leo raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Amelia continued
Amelia responded with a soft nod. "Yes." Leo frowned slightly. "Why?" He knew that unless there was an urgent reason, it wasn’t wise to frequently change schools for children. Constant shifts in their environment could make it difficult for them to feel comfortable or establish meaningful, stable relationships. Amelia sighed deeply. She explained what had happened at the school earlier, though she deliberately left out the name of the other child involved. After all, kids were innocent, and it was the adults who were abusing their authority for personal gain. Leo listened with increasing frustration. "If they were at fault, why are you pulling Liam and Ella out of school? Shouldn’t the others be the ones to leave?” Amelia shook her head and replied with resignation. "Of course, I know that, but it's not that simple. One of them is the principal, and the other comes from a powerful family. We're just ordinary people. It's not so easy for us to make others leave." Leo's expressio
"Leo?” She gasped in surprise. “How did you get here?” Indeed, Leo stood outside the door. He still wore the same gray casual outfit from earlier, one hand in his pocket and the other gripping a large bag of toys. His voice cold, he replied, “What? Am I not allowed to show up?” Amelia hesitated briefly, forcing a smile, “No, I’m just surprised. How did you even know where I live?” She recalled that when Leo had dropped her off before, he had only gone as far as the community entrance, never coming inside. How did he figure out the exact building and unit? Leo smirked, the corner of his lips curling up. “It’s easy enough to find out with a simple phone call, don’t you think?” Impatience crept into his tone as he gestured toward the room with the bag. “Are you going to invite me in?” Amelia pressed her lips together, then reluctantly stepped aside. “I need to mention something first. Every time you visit, it counts as one of your allowed visits. Even though this is your fi
Principal Hunter's feelings toward Amelia had grown increasingly bitter. He was reluctant to criticize Mrs. Wayne and Noah due to their powerful backgrounds. Offending them could have significant consequences, and he was all too aware of their influence. His frustration was directed solely at Amelia, whom he held responsible for the escalating tension. To him, a straightforward apology could have resolved the issue. However, Amelia's insistence on making things difficult had only served to complicate matters further, leaving everyone in an awkward position. Trying to maintain his composure, Principal Hunter forced a smile and said, “What do you suggest we do now?” Amelia, her voice steady, responded, “This woman has twisted the truth and tarnished the reputations of my son and daughter. I want her to apologize to them.” Principal Hunter’s expression faltered. “Is an apology truly so critical? Couldn’t we simply shake hands, smooth things over, and move forward? It might even h
Even the school board members wouldn't dare provoke someone like him, let alone the principal. The principal's gaze toward Amelia hardened. Mrs. Wayne sneered. “Well, you do have some backbone. In that case, Principal Hunter, shouldn't a parent with such despicable, unrepentant behavior—just like her child—be disqualified from attending this school? As a principal, shouldn’t you set an example?” Principal Hunter’s forehead was slick with cold sweat as he hurriedly replied, “Yes, we should punish them.” “I don't think punishment is enough. People like them won’t listen no matter what you say. It’s better to just expel them,” Mrs. Wayne suggested. “Ah, well…" Principal Hunter hesitated. After all, Liam and Ella were usually well-behaved at school, and more importantly, they were bright students. If it weren’t for offending Mrs. Wayne and Noah, he would have liked having such intelligent students in his school. Mrs. Wayne’s displeasure deepened as she saw the principal's
Amelia stood up and turned to face both Principal Hunter and Teacher Rita with a calm but firm expression. "Principal, Ms. Rita, I believe you've heard everything. My children had no part in Noah's accident. They were the first to alert a teacher and helped save him. They didn’t commit any wrongdoing; if anything, they acted responsibly." "This matter shouldn’t be blamed on them," she continued, her voice unwavering. "I hope the school will handle this matter fairly and ensure my children receive the justice they deserve." Mrs Wayne immediately shot back, her irritation evident. "What do you mean, they did nothing wrong and even did something good? Just because they said so, we're supposed to believe them? Are you telling me that your children don’t lie?" Amelia’s tone was cool and steady. "I trust my children. I raised them to be truthful. So yes, I believe them. If I don't believe them would you?" "You!" Mrs Wayne fumed, clearly upset by Amelia’s response. She turned to
Amelia returned to her apartment after a busy day of grocery shopping. Lately, she had been too busy taking care of Leo to spend time with her two children, Liam and Ella. She felt extremely guilty about leaving them at school all the time. Finally, she was able to pick up the two little ones and she naturally wanted to cook them a delicious meal as a treat. She started by making soup and prepping vegetables for dinner. Once everything was set, she checked the time and headed to pick them up. The school she chose for Liam and Ella was considered one of the best in the area, not only because of its highly qualified faculty and top-tier education but also because it was known as a cradle for elites and a prestigious school. Amelia could tolerate anything for herself but when it came to her children, she would not compromise at all. As a mother, she naturally wanted to give her children the best. Therefore, even though the tuition for this school was extremely high, Amelia gritted
The tone of Black Cobra's voice became heavy upon hearing these words. “What do you mean?" he inquired. “I've been clear. The rest is for you to figure out,” she replied before disconnecting. Moments later, several of his subordinates emerged from the house. “Boss, what did she say?” they asked. Black Cobra’s gaze was icy as he responded, “What else could she say? If we don’t manage this properly, we’re all done for.” Fear spread across their faces. One of them snapped, “She’s so heartless. After all these years of working for her, she just wants to discard us?” “Is it surprising?” Black Cobra retorted. "Our work is harsh, and betrayal comes with the territory. It’s tough, but we have to accept that being deceived by someone is part of the job.” “Hmph! If she weren’t a Jones, I’d have dealt with her myself.” Black Cobra raised his hand to silence them. “I’ve made up my mind. That woman has to go. Whether it's from nine years ago or six, she’s tied to it all. As long as she’
Upon hearing this, Liam furrowed his brows. Some individuals had perished that day, while others had managed to flee. He had already dispatched James and Brian to track their whereabouts and identities, but despite the passage of time, they still had no solid leads. Aside from knowing that these individuals were involved in illegal activities, there was no actionable information. He felt a deep sense of guilt about it. “Not yet, but I will keep sending people to investigate. I’ll get back to you with an answer eventually,” he said. However, Amelia shook her head. “There’s no need. This issue wasn’t your concern initially. I only asked for you because those people hurt you too. Since we haven’t found anything, let’s move on. I’ll take it from here.” Leo’s expression darkened immediately. “What did you just say? It’s not my problem?” “No,” Amelia said plainly. “They came after me originally. Even Liam and Ella were kidnapped because of me. So, it is connected to us.” Leo struggl
