**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
After agreeing, Amelia did attend Mrs. Reynold's birthday party the next day. The birthday banquet was held at the old mansion of the Reynold family. At 8 p.m., most of the guests had already arrived. Sophia entered the banquet hall arm in arm with Leo, immediately attracting a wave of excited whispers. “Look, isn't that Mr. Reynold's girlfriend? She's beautiful.” “Of course. I heard she's not only beautiful but also very successful in her career. She's Mr. Reynold's right-hand woman.” “Really? Is she more impressive than his ex-wife?” “Hmph! His ex-wife is just a foster daughter from a small family. How can she compare to Miss Jones?” The crowd whispered in low voices. Sophia overheard them and smiled with satisfaction. She held Leo's hand and said, “Leo, look, Auntie is very happy today.” Leo followed her gaze and saw his mother, surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies, chatting and laughing heartily. He said calmly, “You go and keep her company. I'll go socialize with t
Amelia was taken aback.Lady Reynold turned to Aunt Mary beside her and asked, “Didn't I say that no outsiders were allowed to attend today's banquet? How did she get in?”Outsider? Yes, she was indeed an outsider. But wasn't it Lady Reynold who personally came to her and invited her repeatedly to come over?Amelia had not yet recovered from her confusion when Aunt Mary stepped forward and said, “Madam, I don't know how she got in. Miss Jones found her just now."“Oh? Then tell me, Sophia, where did you find her?” Lady Reynold asked Sophia, who looked at Amelia with an embarrassed expression.“I went to the back garden with Aunt Mary just now and heard some strange noises in the small woods. I asked about it, and the security guards brought them out. At that time, the two of them…” Sophia's voice trailed off, but her meaning was clear.What could a man and a woman be doing in the small woods in the middle of the night? It couldn't be just chatting while being bitten by mosquitoes, ri
As soon as these words were spoken, Lady Reynold’s face grew extremely ugly.Damn it, she had made a mistake.Yesterday, she was only thinking about how to persuade Amelia to attend the banquet, completely forgetting that she also had to cover her tracks.Leo, seeing his mother’s expression, understood what was going on.Meanwhile, after questioning Lady Reynold, Amelia turned to Robert and asked, “We’ve been together for a long time, right?”Robert nodded. “Yes, you were the one who pursued me at the beginning. You wouldn’t deny it, would you?”This statement was met with disdain from those around them.“Although I’m not a traditional person and don’t think there’s anything wrong with a woman pursuing a man, why does Amelia make it seem so disgusting?”“Mainly because she’s too open in that aspect. I heard that she was hot and heavy with one of her subordinates in her company the other day, and now she’s actively pursuing another man. It’s getting more and more confusing.”“She’s sha
Not far away, Leo sat in the car, watching from a distance. When he saw the woman in a long skirt squatting and crying, she looked pitiful and miserable and his heart inexplicably stung, as if pricked by a needle.“James,” he called out in a deep voice.James understood and quickly responded, getting out of the car with an umbrella.Amelia was crying when she suddenly noticed that the raindrops above her were being blocked by something. When she looked up, she saw a man standing in front of her.He was wearing a black coat, tall and imposing, with a majestic demeanor. The dark blue umbrella covered his head, and his deep, calm eyes were fixed on her.Not far behind him was a black Hummer parked. James stood at the car door, looking in the other direction, not paying attention to them.Amelia asked irritably, “Why are you here?”Leo's lips tightened. He didn't explain and only said coldly, “Get in the car with me.”Amelia didn't move. She didn’t want him to pretend to be kind to her.S
