Mr Smith's eyes were full of disgust, but he restrained himself from showing it due to his status and etiquette of being the head of the Smith family.He said in a deep voice, “Since things have come to this, just sign it. After signing, post a statement online to declare that you have no more relationship with the Smith family."Listening to their heartless words, Amelia felt like her heart was being twisted by a knife.After more than twenty years even if they only raised a cat or a dog, they should have some feelings, right?Tears poured down her face as she looked at her parent's cold faces. In the end, she knelt on the ground and signed the declaration of severed ties. After signing, she felt like all the strength she had left her body and she collapsed on the ground.Mr Smith said in a deep voice, “Take this woman and throw her out. From now on, she is not allowed to step into the Smith family's door.”“Yes sir.”The servants escorted Amelia out. Her knees hit the stone heavily
**On the Other Side**After leaving the Smith family, Amelia didn’t rush home but went to a nearby bar instead. When she was upset, she often felt like drinking, but she rarely let herself get drunk. However, today was different. A bond that had existed in her heart for many years suddenly broke, and she couldn’t accept it. So, she drank quickly and heavily and soon got drunk.Mark came to the bar with a friend after work and happened to run into her. Seeing her sitting alone at the bar, drinking and swaying, he became alarmed and hurried over, leaving his friend behind.“Miss Smith, are you okay?” he asked.Amelia, supported by him, turned her head and looked at him, then laughed. “Mark... haha... I remember you... come on, have a drink with me.”Mark took her glass away. “Miss Smith, you’re drunk. You can’t drink anymore. Come down, I’ll take you home.”“Home?” Amelia laughed bitterly. “I don’t have a home anymore.”Her home had shattered six years ago. Her in-laws' home, her paren
After she finished speaking, she opened the door and got out of the car.Leo felt a surge of blood rush to his head. He was indescribably depressed and unhappy. He suddenly shouted, “Why are you acting so awkward?”Amelia stopped for a moment and stood still.Leo continued, “I heard about George's divestment. Now that there's a financial issue abroad, Wilson's headquarters is simply unable to support you.” “The news on the internet is preventing you from attracting investment in a short period. If this continues, the platform you’ve worked so hard to build is likely to slowly fade under the dual pressure of public opinion and the economy. Is that really what you want?” Amelia stood there in a daze. After a while, she said softly, “What do you want me to say?” “Cooperate with me, I can help you.”Amelia laughed at herself. The more she laughed, the more tears welled up in her eyes.She said softly, “Do you think I would cooperate with a murderer?” Leo was taken aback. “What do y
Everyone was stunned, looking at her, not knowing what she meant. Amelia took out the phone that had been hidden behind her. “If I remember correctly, Lucy just participated in a talent show this year and is now a popular little star, right?” "And you, Jane, are known for your elegance and grace in the world of painting and calligraphy. You have earned a place of your own and are admired by the children of various aristocratic families." "Are you truly living up to your role as a role model?” Jane forced a smile. “Amelia, you’ve got the wrong person. I didn't say anything about you just now. It was all Lucy and Zoe.” Zoe said, “That’s right, it’s me. What are you gonna do about it? Are you going to hit me?” Amelia shook her head. She had been smiling the whole time; not once did her expression darken. She casually played with her phone and said in a soft voice, “I don't want to do anything. I'm just curious- if the outside world knew that these ladies, whom they regard as godd
**Reynold Corporation** After sending the message, Leo kept staring at his phone, thinking about how to chat with Amelia after she replied. He didn't even know what to talk about, but the idea popped into his head, and he impulsively sent the message. Only after sending it did he realize his mistake and regret it. Amelia's words made him realize that there might be some misunderstanding between them. Normally, he wouldn't care about being misunderstood by others, but when it came to Amelia and the matter of murder, he felt uncomfortable. It felt like a lump of cotton was stuck in his chest, making him feel uneasy and uncomfortable. He didn't know why he felt this way, but he knew that if they could communicate and clear up the misunderstanding, it would be better. So he waited and waited… One minute passed, but there was no reply. Five minutes passed, and still no reply. Ten minutes… Half an hour… An hour… His expression went from anxious to hopeful, then to anxious and confus
Meanwhile, Amelia was still unaware of what had happened downstairs. She had even forgotten about the text message she had received.After returning home, she connected with her two babies via video call. They were so cute and had inherited all of her best qualities. Of course, there was also a part of Leo in them.However, no matter how many of his traits they had inherited, in Amelia's heart these two children had nothing to do with Leo.For the past few years, the three of them had relied on each other, and the two babies had never felt inferior despite Leo not being involved in their lives.Since he had already missed out on their birth and growth, he could continue to miss out forever.Amelia looked at them and smiled happily.Ella asked in a particularly pitiful tone, “Mommy, when will you bring us back home? I miss you so much.”Amelia said, “It’s almost time. Once Mommy's loan is approved, she will bring you back to New York.”She had made up her mind. She couldn’t leave her c
As soon as the words left her mouth, Sophia realized something was wrong and quickly explained, “Leo, don't jump to conclusions. I believe Amelia isn’t that kind of person." "Although she betrayed you and got together with Henry six years ago, she couldn’t have fallen for another man so quickly, right?” But her words only made Leo's face darken even more as if a storm cloud had settled over him. Without saying a word, he turned and walked away, saying, “I just remembered that there's something I need to take care of at the company. You can continue shopping by yourself.” Sophia pretended to chase after him for a few steps before stopping, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes. “Amelia, you want to compete with me? You're not experienced enough.” Amelia, on the other hand, was completely unaware of what had happened. After being helped to the second floor by Mark, she bought a pair of shoes in the store. Looking at the high heels worth five thousand dollars on her feet, sh
Meanwhile, at the old mansion of the Reynold family, Sophia arrived and saw Lady Reynold trying on a dress in front of the mirror.Sophia exclaimed, “Auntie, you look so beautiful in this dress, like a fairy. No one would ever guess that you’ve had children.”Lady Reynold, proud of her face and figure, which had once captivated Leo's father, laughed and asked, “Do you think many people will come the day after tomorrow? Will everyone be stunned by my beauty?”Sophia suppressed a smile and nodded. “Yes, Auntie. Your beauty will make everyone bow to you.”At that moment, someone entered with a pile of jewelry boxes.“Madam, the items have arrived.”Lady Reynold waved her hand, indicating where the person should place them.Sophia noticed two small boxes on top and walked over curiously. She opened them and found a pair of diamond rings, which surprised her.“Auntie, what is this?”Lady Reynold smiled and said, “Oh, those? They’re for you and Leo. When I ordered the jewelry a while ago, I
