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 watched the clock as it stroked at 11 pm still Leo wasn't back. 'Looks like he won't be coming home tonight,’ she thought. Her heart sank as she began walking towards her bedroom.Just then the sound of a light click came from the front door and her heart lifted as she hurried over. “Leo, you are back.”Leo was wearing a dark cashmere coat and his tall figure looked even more handsome and cold in the cold winter. At the first sight of Amelia, he said, “Amelia I have something to tell you.”Amelia was stunned and her intuition told her that something was off about Leo tonight. But she placed my hands on her slightly bulging belly and smiled.“Sure, I also have something to tell you. I prepared your favorite meal, why don't you eat first, then we will discuss it later.” “Sophia is pregnant, let's get a divorce!”“What?” Amelia swallowed painfully and her smile faded. It was like a heavy hammer had struck her and she stood there in disbelief.Leo continued, “She is already thre
Leo's eyes tightened and he quickly said, “Do everything you can to save the child, and nothing must happen to the mother. I'll be there right away.” He didn't have time to think too much and hung up the phone before stuffing the divorce agreement into Amelia's arm. “Just sign it and leave it at home. I'll send someone to pick it up later. Make sure you are gone before I return.” With that, he got into his car and hurriedly drove away. Amelia held the divorce agreement and watched the car disappear into the distance, feeling as if her heart had turned to ashes. Was there really no need to salvage this marriage? She didn't even bother to read the contents of the agreement, hastily signed it, and then packed a few of her clothes into a large suitcase before heading downstairs. The maid, Dora, was surprised to see her carrying a large suitcase down so late at night. “Madam, where are you going?” Amelia remembered Leo's words and sneered. “Don't call me madam anymore just call me M
Leo's heartless words rang in her ears once again. “Amelia I wonder when you will die, I wish you could go to hell right away and accompany Damien.”Tears streamed down her face. ‘Leo, so you wanted to kill me from the beginning and never intended to let me go, right?’Endless regret and pain overwhelmed her but in the end, it was Henry who pulled her back.“Amy, don't waste time talking to them. These bastards clearly want to kill us. There is a huge reef over there, if we swim over with all our might, and grit our teeth, we'll be rescued.”Following his finger, Amelia looked over and saw a dark, towering rock in the hazy night. Realizing this she nodded quickly. So the two of them swam with all their might towards the reef. The winter sea was like a sharp knife cutting into them over and over again, almost like torture. Fortunately, the distance wasn't too far and they soon arrived. However, Amelia was too exhausted to climb up.“Amy, step on my shoulders and climb up. Grab unto t
Mr Wilson was the man who saved her six years ago, he was also the chairman of the Wilson Group with a significant influence abroad. When Amelia arrived at the garden, she saw Mr Wilson sitting in a wheelchair, with white hair despite being only sixty years old.He said that his leg was amputated due to an accident twenty years ago, and his wife passed away in that accident. He saved Amelia because she reminded him of his wife with her facial features which brought back many memories for him. Amelia was grateful for his life-saving kindness, so she worked at Wilson Group and has now risen to the position of vice president.Amelia walked up to him and respectfully said. “Mr. Wilson, you were looking for me.”Mr. Wilson pointed to the seat opposite him and asked her to sit down. “Are your things packed? You're leaving for New York this afternoon right?”“Yes, everything is packed.”“Let me show you something.”He picked up a tablet from the table and showed her a picture. “Do you reco
Leo saw her walking towards the showroom and couldn't help but follow her. After making his way through the crowd to get behind her, he reached out and tapped her on the shoulder. The woman turned around but it was a completely unfamiliar face. “What do you want?” The other person didn't know him, but upon seeing his luxurious attire, she immediately smiled warmly. “Do you want my number?” She said taking out her phone.Leo's face darkened, and he coldly said, “Sorry I got the wrong person.” After speaking he left without hesitation.The woman was stunned and angrily cursed. “Are you crazy? You mistook someone on the street. Are you blind?”However, the only response she received was Leo's merciless back.Not far away, Amelia, wearing the same coat as the woman, stood in the crowd, watching Leo's back with a cold smile. “Leo, six years ago I treated you like a treasure, but you didn't cherish it. I will never give you the chance to hurt me again.” She put on her mask and turned to
Not long after Amelia drove out, she realized that someone was following her from behind. She gave a cold smile and stepped on the gas pedal. Soon, James found out the car was gone, replaced by chaotic traffic. He became anxious. “Young master, I think I lost her.” Leo also noticed and his face became even more unpleasant. “Damn it,” he muttered. Six years ago, Amelia was still a little girl who would get nervous just by touching the steering wheel. But now, she seems to have become more capable. “Did you get the license plate number?” James was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted. “Yes sir.” “Go check the location of the car.” “Okay, sir.” Finally getting rid of the follower, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief. She opened her phone and saw that there were already posts about the Butterfly brand's event online. Sophia's disheveled and frightened appearance was captured on camera. Along with the drowning video, and posted online. The comment section was already floode
Amelia was taken aback, she was somewhat annoyed with herself. She didn't think that way, but for some reason, when the words came out of her mouth they sounded like she cared too much about him. Amelia didn't want to continue the conversation so she changed the subject. “Mr. Reynold, why don't you tell me the purpose of your visit?” Leo didn't pursue the matter and simply asked, “What do you want?” Straightforward that was his style. Amelia smiled a smile that was tinged with sarcasm. “Mr Reynold, are you negotiating with me? Do you want to settle this privately?” Leo didn't deny it. “I didn't know about the plagiarism, but that's not an excuse. If you have any conditions, feel free to state them. I will try my best to fulfill them.” This time Amelia looked at him with a new perspective. Putting aside their personal feelings, in the business world, Leo Reynold was indeed a worthy opponent. It was just a pity he killed Henry. The thought of this made her unable to control
