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
Leo hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Ten minutes later, the two of them left the hotel and headed to James's base. Amelia had always known that Leo was not a simple businessman. At least, not as simple as he appeared to be on the surface. When she walked into the basement and saw all kinds of torture instruments densely packed inside, she couldn't help but shudder. Leo looked at her with cold eyes. “Scared?” Amelia swallowed hard. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t scared. But no matter how frightened she was, she still wanted to ask Mr. Logan face to face who wanted to harm her. Finally, she saw Mr. Logan in a dimly lit room. In the center of the room was a simple iron bed, and Mr. Logan was lying on it, all his limbs tied up, making him unable to move. His eyes were covered with a black cloth, and surrounding him were large speakers blasting a mix of harsh, incessant sounds—sirens, construction noises, and blaring alarms. The noise was deafening, creating a relen
“I can’t let go… If I do, Miss Smith will kill me.” Mark could only look helplessly at Amelia. Amelia sneered. “Why should I kill you? Can you tell Mr. Mark the reason?" Mark was stunned. He had only come to ask Amelia what was going on after seeing the reports online. He never believed that Amelia would just reconcile with Leo like this. But he didn’t expect to find Linda here. At that moment, when he looked at Linda again, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Amelia had asked her why. What had happened? Linda felt very guilty at that moment. She hadn’t expected things to be exposed so quickly. Originally, she just wanted to go with the flow and follow Sophia's instructions to get rid of Amelia so that Mark could see Amelia’s true nature. But she hadn’t expected to be caught by Leo in the end. She regretted it now. If she had known, she wouldn’t have listened to Sophia. At that moment, Mark also realized that something was wrong. He pulled Linda away and asked angr
“What am I doing? Well, you should ask Sophia what she planned to do to me.” Without hesitation, she took out her phone and played a recording. Immediately, Linda’s voice came from the phone: “Sophia Jones instructed me to get you drunk and send you to Mr. Logan. She told me to do this…” As soon as the recording played, everyone’s expression changed. Sophia shook her head frantically. “I didn’t do it. Leo, you have to believe me. I didn’t instruct her to do this.” Two ladies at the front desk also heard the recording and whispered to each other, “Miss Jones got Amelia drunk and sent her to a man? I heard that Mrs. Logan went to a hotel with a group of people to catch a cheating spouse this morning. Could it be related to this?” “Oh my God! This is too sinister.” “It’s too scary.” Leo’s face darkened. Sophia was already in a panic. “Amelia, where did you get this recording? I have never done such a thing. I don’t even know Mr. Logan. Why would I want to harm you?” Am
In a corner of New York City, Black Cobra looked at the information he had just received and grinned widely. He never expected such useful information to be found so easily. The data revealed that Amelia had two children, a boy and a girl. “Ha ha ha!" Black Cobra laughed heartily. At that moment, his phone rang. It was Sophia calling. He answered, “Hello, Miss Jones.” Sophia lowered her voice and asked, “Black Cobra, didn’t you say you would help me get rid of Amelia sooner or later? When will you do it?” Black Cobra sneered, “After our miscalculation last time, Leo has been investigating us. We can’t leave New York. Are you in such a hurry to target Amelia again, Miss Jones? Do you want us to expose ourselves even faster?” “What should we do then?” Sophia asked, frustrated. The last incident had failed and almost made Leo suspect her. These fools not only ruined the plan but also made her suffer. Black Cobra chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’ve already arranged a solution. I’
