In Germany, Liam and Ella had just finished school and were leaving when they encountered a middle-aged man at the door. The man was holding toys and lollipops and smiled. “Are you Liam and Ella Smith? I'm Assistant Brian from Chairman Wilson's office. Assistant Steven is on a business trip today and couldn’t come to pick you both up, so Chairman Wilson sent me instead.” Liam watched him warily. “You’re Grandpa Wilson's assistant? Why haven’t we seen you before?” Brian hesitated for a moment before smiling. “I’m new here. If you don’t believe me, you can call Assistant Steven. He knows me.” Ella started to take out her phone to call, but Liam stopped her. “No need. We believe you.” Brian was surprised but didn’t think too much of it. He just smiled and opened the car door for them. “Alright, let’s get in.” Ella looked at Liam and whispered in his ear, “Liam, why don’t we call Uncle Steven?” Liam didn’t move a muscle, but his face showed an expression beyond his six years. He
Ella curiously leaned over. “What's wrong, Liam?” Liam pointed at the red dot on the screen. “I thought he would collect the hair and do the DNA testing in Germany, so I would have the chance to hack in and alter the final result." "But he mailed the hair directly back to New York, which makes it difficult for me to interfere from a distance.” Ella widened her eyes in confusion. “DNA testing?” “Yes." Liam patiently explained. “I should have figured it out earlier. That man deliberately took us to get our hair cut and then stole the hair for testing. The only person with a motive to do this is the man who betrayed our mother.” “Are you saying we've been found out?” “It's possible.” A hint of annoyance appeared on Liam's face. “If I had known he was sending the hair back to New York, I wouldn't have let him take it.” Ella still didn't quite understand. “If you can hack into the system in Germany, why can't you hack into the system in New York?” Liam's handsome face cracked for
She shook her head in disbelief. "No, you're lying." If he wasn’t responsible, then why did those people say he was six years ago? Leo frowned and tried to explain slowly, "I have no reason to lie to you. Even if it was me, admitting it wouldn’t change anything for you." Although Leo's words weren’t comforting, they were true. Yes, he was the powerful Leo Reynold, the heir to the entire Reynolds family conglomerate. Even if he confessed, saying, "I killed your brother," what could she do? She had no evidence and couldn’t sue him. And with her current resources, she couldn’t even bring down a small subsidiary of the Reynolds Group, let alone the entire conglomerate. What else could she do? Amelia suddenly felt very tired and powerless. She had tried so hard, but there was nothing she could do. Seeing Amelia suddenly slump, Leo’s heart ached. He reached out and grabbed her shoulder, helping to steady her. He said in a deep voice, "Amelia, believe me, I didn’t ha
In the photos, Amelia and Leo were seen standing together. Some showed them entering and leaving the hospital together, others showed them getting into a car together, and one even showed Amelia at Flower Hill. Mark's expression changed as he saw them. He instinctively reached for the phone, but Linda pulled her hands back first. He frowned and asked, “Where did you get these photos?” Linda snorted. “A magician never reveals her secrets. But let me make it clear that I didn't ask anyone to take these photos. I just stumbled upon them and made a copy out of curiosity.” Mark's face grew darker. “Do you realize you’re violating someone’s privacy? This is illegal.” Linda became impatient. “Oh, come on. I already said I didn’t take these photos. How am I violating her privacy?" "Besides, she’s the one who seduced my boyfriend. I haven’t settled the score with her yet. Who is she to accuse me of violating her rights?” Mark’s face froze. “Who’s your boyfriend?” “It’s you.
Linda snorted disdainfully. “So what if that’s what you think? He’s just temporarily fooled by Amelia. When he comes to his senses, he’ll realize who truly cares for him.” Sophia shook her head in disappointment. “So that’s your perspective. It seems I’ve found the wrong person.” “Women as foolish as you won’t win the affection of the man you love. I have no reason to work with you.” With that, Sophia stood up to leave, Linda’s eyes widened, and she quickly grabbed her arm. “Wait, what do you mean by ‘cooperation’? What kind of cooperation?” Sophia raised an eyebrow. “A cooperation that will make Mark see Amelia’s true colors and change his mind about you. Are you interested?” Linda’s eyes lit up. “Really? Of course, I’m interested. Don’t leave—sit down and tell me the details of this cooperation.” Sophia sneered inwardly but sat down and explained the plan in detail. *** That afternoon, Amelia sat in her office, trying to come to terms with the possibility that Leo m
At this moment, in the next room, Leo felt uneasy and restless. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Charles poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, with a smile, “What are you thinking about? You look so unhappy.” Leo shook his head. "Nothing.” He thought he might be overthinking things. How could Amelia be here, and drunk like that? Perhaps he had mistaken her for someone else. Charles oblivious to Leo's inner turmoil leaned against the windowsill with his glass and smirked, “I heard that Amelia didn't die, and she came back to the country. How does it feel to see your ex-wife again? Have you ever thought about getting back together?” Leo gave him a cold glance and reminded him, “My girlfriend is Sophia now." Charles sneered. "Do you believe what you just said? Just your attitude toward Sophia over the years, everyone can see that you don't have feelings for her.” “Is it satisfying to deceive yourself like this?” Leo frowned. He seemed to have been
He helped Amelia up, then used a towel to dry her body before asking, “Shall I carry you to bed to rest?” Amelia was completely drunk at this point and had no idea where she was. Her memories were a mess and she couldn't remember if she had any grievances with the man in front of her. She just held onto his clothes like a lifeline and nodded heavily saying, "Mm." Leo's lips curled up with pleasure. He had never experienced such happiness in his life, being relied on wholeheartedly by someone. He carried Amelia to the bed. As soon as he put her down, she opened her arms. “My clothes are wet and uncomfortable. Take them off.” She was indeed still wearing wet clothes. From her top to her pants, everything was wet, and some places were even dripping with water, all of which were his doing. Leo's breath suddenly tightened. He swallowed his saliva and said, “I'll go find someone to help you take them off.” He and Amelia were already divorced, and he couldn't take advantage o
Amelia was the kind of person who was three parts drunk and one part sober. Since she still had that one part of sobriety, she couldn't completely forget what happened last night. She clearly remembered encountering a pervert in her room yesterday. The man had tried to assault her, but she was eventually saved by someone else who rushed in. From the current situation, that someone must have been Leo. Although she didn't remember the details of what happened afterward very clearly, judging from her physical condition today, the man probably didn't do anything to her. Realizing this, Amelia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had noticed earlier that she wasn't wearing any clothes and had feared the worst. She shook her head and pushed those bad thoughts out of her mind. Then she got up, put on her clothes, and went to the bathroom to tidy up a bit before leaving. In the living room, Leo was already waiting for her. Today, he was wearing a gray casual suit and didn’t look
