"Are you the heartless boss who killed my grandson?” Mrs. Johnson didn’t hesitate and slapped Amelia hard across the face.

Amelia's face was turned to the side, and a burning pain spread across her cheek.

The scene fell silent.

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

Amelia licked her cheek with her tongue and then chuckled, seemingly in a self-deprecating manner.

She lifted her head and looked directly at Mrs. Johnson.

“Now that you have hit me, are you feeling better?”

“Feeling better?” Mrs. Johnson thought that Amelia would be angry after being slapped. After all, wealthy and powerful bosses like her cared about their reputation, right?

So she was a little scared when she first slapped Amelia.

But when she saw that Amelia not only wasn’t angry but also spoke to her so kindly, her courage grew.

Mrs. Johnson angrily said, “You killed my grandson, and now you've only been slapped once. You’re asking me if I feel better. Let me tell you, even if you die, you can’t bring my grands

    "What is all this about? Did David actually say that himself?" Amelia's brows furrowed. "Could you please tell me exactly what he said?" John grew visibly impatient. "What else could he say? His job was tough, the pay wasn't great, and his boss kept piling pressure on him. All of that is true, right? You can’t deny it, even if you wanted to.” Amelia sneered. “If I remember correctly, didn’t you provide the media with a list of David’s work duties?” John’s eyes shifted uneasily as he nodded. “Yeah, so what? Are you saying your company keeps all of that hidden?” Shaking her head, Amelia responded, “I’m not sure where you got that list from, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with David’s actual responsibilities." “This situation is either a misunderstanding or a deliberate attempt to defame our company. If it’s the former, we can resolve it quickly." "But if it’s the latter, Mr. Johnson, do you understand how serious it is to falsely accuse an internationally listed

    The woman arched an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Amelia. “You summoned me here, yet you don’t even recognize who I am?” Her boldness was striking. It’s no surprise she can deceive so effortlessly. Amelia maintained a calm demeanor and produced her business card. “I’m Amelia Smith, head of the domestic division at Wilson Group, and David’s direct supervisor.” The woman accepted the card with a casual flicker of amusement. “Vice president? You’re quite young for that title. Did you advance by cozying up to numerous bosses?” Maggie, Amelia’s assistant, who was present, bristled at the comment. “Why do you speak like that? Do you assume everyone has to sleep their way to the top like you?” Amelia raised a hand to silence her assistant. “Maggie, let it go.” The woman sneered, flicked her hand, and tossed the business card into a box cluttered with various other cards on the bar. “Alright, I’m not interested in your career path. What is it that you want from me?” Ameli

    Amelia couldn’t rest. The unrest in the company left her unsettled, and she sensed that there was more going on than what met the eye. David’s sudden death seemed unfortunate, but the timing was too abrupt to dismiss as a mere coincidence. Her worries deepened with the company’s recent issues. There had been significant problems with product quality, damaging their reputation. Then, David’s suicide only added to their troubles. The string of difficulties weighed on her, clouding her thoughts and making decisions feel overwhelming. Each new setback seemed to tighten the grip of anxiety, making it hard for her to find a clear path forward. Eventually, exhaustion overtook her, pulling her into a deep sleep. But her rest was disturbed by unsettling dreams. In every dream, a large black snake chased her, always on her heels no matter how fast she ran. It hissed and spat venom, even brushing against her face with its slimy tongue, leaving her nauseated. The next morning, Amelia wo

    Everyone in the room appeared puzzled, unable to grasp the true depth of her words. Then Sophia spoke up, her voice cutting through the confusion. "As we all know, One Closet is in the midst of a significant public relations crisis. This isn't just affecting them; it's impacting the entire Wilson Group. Their stock prices are fluctuating because of this chaos." She paused, letting the gravity of the situation settle in. "But let's not forget, before this storm hit, One Closet was the leading platform in the clothing category. Their sales were unmatched, and their business model is innovative." "The reason we want to acquire them is precisely because of that model. Now is the perfect time to strike. They're vulnerable, and we can seize this opportunity to overpower them.” The room quieted as her words sank in. Everyone began to nod in agreement. One Closet's recent growth had been impossible to ignore. Many of them had even heard their own families sing praises of the platform. Go

    He turned toward Amelia and gestured for her to come in. “You can sit down. She's still in the bathroom, but she’ll be out soon.” “Thanks,” Amelia responded politely. Without lingering too much, Amelia stepped inside and carefully avoided looking around too much, quickly finding a spot on the sofa. The man casually poured her a glass of water and offered it. “Here, have some water.” Grateful, Amelia accepted it. The man then returned to the bedroom, leaving her in silence. Although Amelia was curious about his identity, she didn't want to ask too much. After all, it didn't have the right to pry into their affair. Not long after, Elise came out. When she saw Amelia sitting in the living room, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes. Perhaps hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, the man stepped into the room and reminded her, “Elise, your friend is here to see you. See what she wants.” “I know,” Elise replied coldly. She walked over to where Amelia was seate

    The man’s face twisted with a sneer. “What am I talking about? This is all your fault! If not for you, Elise would still be alive right now! It was your idea to have her go out and clear everything up, and now she’s gone, dead because of that decision.” He continued, his voice rising with anger, “If you hadn’t come looking for her, she would never have left the house. None of this would’ve happened if not for you!” The sting of the accusation lingered in the air as the crowd around them started to murmur. Their glances toward Amelia felt heavy as if she were the murderer. Amelia felt herself unravel a little, caught off guard. She had never imagined the situation would turn out like this. The man’s outburst had been unexpected as well. After all, what had she done to become the villain in this narrative? She hadn’t done anything wrong. Still, Amelia recognized the depth of grief Elise’s family was experiencing. People often said things in the depth of mourning—things they didn’t

    "I created this platform. I can't simply give it all away, especially when it's still in its formative stages. I've carefully crafted a long-term development plan, and I won't just stand by and watch someone else ruin it." Sophia’s grin widened. “But you know that if you want to stay involved, you’ll need to work under the Reynolds Group. We can't have someone from outside taking on such a key position. Are you truly ready to work under me?” Under the table, Amelia's fists tightened until her nails bit into her palms. Sophia really thought that she would give up her hard work that easily to her—what a joke. In the ruthless world of business, alliances meant little; only advantage mattered. She couldn’t trust anyone to handle her platform like she would, nor could she expect Sophia to give her full control. So she just had to play along for a while until she was able to rise back up. Swallowing her pride, Amelia murmured, “As long as you keep personal issues separate from busine

    Leo looked at her coldly, his eyes spitting ice. The air in the restroom grew heavy, the space becoming colder as if his presence alone drained all warmth. "What are you doing here?" His voice was as frosty as his gaze. Amelia smirked. "And why shouldn't I be? Besides, what right do you have to ask me that question? Do you own this bar, Mr. Reynold?" Leo hesitated. An inexplicable anger rose inside him. He couldn't quite understand the source of his frustration. The sight of her laughing and talking with another man stirred something unpleasant within him, leaving him feeling suffocated. Amelia noticed his silence and pressed on, her tone laced with mockery. She pried his fingers from her wrist, one by one. "If you're done, Mr. Reynold, kindly leave. Some of us are trying to enjoy ourselves here." With that, she turned to walk away. But just as she did, he grabbed her wrist again, this time pressing her against the wall. The pain shot through her back as she str

    Leo claimed her mouth in a kiss that was rough and filled with longing, devouring her like a hungry wolf that had been starved for days. Amelia matched his intensity, intertwining her fingers in his hair while moaning between the kisses. His hands moved up her body, exploring every inch as if he had been waiting for this moment forever and had finally gotten the opportunity. She gasped when his fingers brushed her nipple, which was already hard and longing to be licked and devoured by his mouth. She could feel the hardness of his desire pressing against her, only intensifying her own need. “You drive me crazy Amelia Smith,” he murmured against her lips. “I miss you and I don’t want to hold back tonight. I want every part of you baby girl.” “Then don’t hold back,” she quickly replied, her voice barely more than a whisper. “I’m all yours, claim me, Daddy.” Her words made his hormones rise even further. Without breaking the kiss, he hurriedly lifted her and carried her t

    The next day, the news spread online that Sophia committed suicide by hanging herself in prison. It felt strange and heavy but for Amelia, it meant a bitter-sweet relief. She woke up with a slight headache, the sunlight streaming through the curtains. Last night memories flooded through her mind—Leo's warm embrace, his apology and reassurance, the soft kiss that stirred long-hidden feelings. Her cheeks warmed and the color turned a shade of pink. She reached out for Leo who was already awake, sitting against the headboard with a look of concern etched on his face. “Morning, beautiful,” he said softly, studying her face for any signs of distress. “Morning,” Amelia replied, blushing and rubbing her temples. “What happened last night? I remember bits and pieces.” That was a lie, she remembered every single detail but just wanted to play innocent. Leo smiled gently. “You had a little too much fun celebrating your aunt's recovery. But it was a good night for us.” Ame

    A month later, Aunt Elsa’s condition had stabilized. The surgical wound had nearly healed, and all that was left was some aftercare. Once home, she could take her medication and recuperate slowly without needing further hospitalization. Early that morning, Amelia went to the hospital to handle Aunt Elsa’s discharge procedures. In the hospital room, Aunt Elsa was sitting on the bed, watching TV. Seeing Amelia come in, Aunt Elsa smiled and said, “You’re just in time. Come and see this.” She pointed to the TV. Curious, Amelia looked over and saw the news playing. A familiar face appeared on the screen, and the host’s flat, detached voice filled the room. “Recently, the sensational murder case has concluded. The primary culprit, Sophia Jones, has been found guilty of her crime." "Due to the severity and serial nature of the case, she has been sentenced to life imprisonment.” Amelia blinked rapidly, her thoughts swirling as she tried to process the news. Life imprisonm

    That night, Aunt Elsa woke up. Blake checked on her and found her condition better than he had expected. Perhaps Amelia’s persistence had truly moved the heavens, as the cancer cells had cleared, and even the memory loss Blake had anticipated wasn’t present. It all seemed too good to be true. When Amelia heard the news, she was naturally overjoyed. Leo also heard about Elsa’s successful surgery. He didn’t say much, but that night, he quietly ordered the kitchen to prepare a few extra dishes, silently celebrating Elsa’s recovery. Amelia had agreed to marry Leo to secure Blake’s help for Aunt Elsa. Now that Aunt Elsa was nearly healed, Amelia realized her relationship with Leo was a temporary fix. She knew she had to find a way to completely cut ties with him. That night, Amelia decided to cook a few dishes herself. To prevent anyone from interrupting her plan, she sent the children out with Eleven for the night. Then, she dismissed the household staff Leo had hired for th

    As Inspector Ralph led Sophia to the police station, her heart raced with a mix of fear and disbelief.Soon, they arrived, and one of the officers led her into the interrogation room and gestured towards a chair, "Miss Jones, please take a seat. Inspector Ralph will be here shortly."With that he left, leaving her all alone in the room. The cold, bare room did nothing to calm her racing heart it only made her heart beat faster with each passing second.The walls were painted a dull gray, and the only light was a flickering fluorescent bulb that buzzed overhead. The smell of cleaning products filled the air, making her even more anxious.She never imagined that one day she would end up in this kind of situation. She stood up to reduce the pacing of her heart and her trembling fingers.Soon, the door opened and Inspector Ralph walked in. Sophia sat down, trying to stay calm and composed. "What kind of nightmare is this?" She thought. "Can I wake up already?" She pinched herself and

    She said in a calm voice, “You didn’t do anything wrong, and I don’t need your apology.” Once, those words had been what she wanted most, but now they meant nothing to her. The bitterness of the past clung to her like a heavy fog. She’d never considered forgiving him, so how could she accept it? After Amelia finished speaking, Leo felt a tightening in his chest. He ran a hand through his hair, frustration coursing through him as he processed the weight of her words. “Don’t say that. We were all kept in the dark before. Now that the truth is out, you know I didn’t do those things on purpose, right?” he said quickly, his voice rising slightly. Amelia sneered. “Yes, you didn’t do it on purpose, but can the pain I suffered over the years be forgotten? Leo, you didn’t personally send someone to kill us, but back then, you did divorce me because of Sophia, didn’t you?” “I can’t hate you, but I can never forgive you. We can’t pretend those years never happened. Neither you nor I c

    The sentence made both Amelia and Leo furrow their brows. They exchanged curious glances, wondering what could prompt Black Cobra to say such a thing. Leo’s gaze hardened as he made a decision. “Pardon the living, punish the dead.” With those words, he signaled his agreement to Black Cobra’s condition. Black Cobra breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had a chance to keep living to protect his family. He knew his death would endanger their lives, and he couldn’t risk it. He then revealed the secret he’d been hiding. “The accident that led to your best friend Damien's death had nothing to do with Amelia. She wasn't the one responsible." The revelation left them both stunned. Relief washed over Amelia. Damien’s death had nothing to do with her; while surprising, Black Cobra’s words intrigued her even more. Still, she was curious to know who had caused the accident that led to Damien's death and why they’d framed her. With questions swirling in her mind, she looked at

    After getting out of the car, James opened the door, and they walked into the building. As soon as they entered, Amelia’s first impression was the smell of blood. The lights turned on, revealing a man lying on the marble floor of the living room, covered in blood. His hair clung together with sweat and blood, and both of his hands hung limply, possibly broken. His legs twisted in an unnatural position, making him look grotesque. Amelia felt as if she had seen him from somewhere. Leo gestured to James, who stepped forward and brushed away the hair covering the man’s face, revealing the person who had kidnapped her before. “How did he end up here?” Amelia asked in disbelief. Leo glanced at her. “What do you think?” It suddenly dawned on Amelia that Leo’s promise of a show tonight referred to this. Her eyes turned cold. She wasn’t a saint and wouldn’t sympathize with someone who had tried to harm her. “Who sent you to kidnap me?” she asked, her voice icy. Black Cobra had

    On the ground, lay a mobile phone from which Sophia's voice echoed. “Have you taken action? This is your last chance Cobra, I won’t allow any more mistakes,” Sophia said sharply. Black Cobra replied coldly, “Don’t worry. This time, either she dies or I perish.” After several failures, Black Cobra’s patience had worn completely thin. Combined with Sophia’s relentless pursuit and threats, he felt trapped with no way out. He knew that failure was not an option this time, the future of his family hung in the balance, and the pressure weighed heavily on him. After speaking, Black Cobra picked up the sniper rifle. He believed that as long as Amelia dared to come out, he could kill her. Even if he was caught afterward, he would not regret it. Sophia listened to the commotion on the other end and breathed a sigh of relief before hanging up the phone. Meanwhile, at Wilson’s Domestic Group, Amelia was about to leave the office when her assistant informed her of Leo’s presence in t
