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’
However, this news had a significant impact on Leo. It was so profound that he felt the need to reexamine the shipwreck Amelia had experienced six years ago. He turned to James. “How is the investigation I asked you about going?” James looked confused. “What investigation?” Leo frowned. James quickly remembered and replied respectfully, “Oh, that one. There hasn’t been any progress yet. I’ve handed it over to Brian. He’s more skilled in this area.” Leo’s gaze became even more disdainful upon hearing this. James lowered his head, feeling embarrassed. In the end, Leo didn’t say anything more. He simply instructed James to investigate carefully, then left. James wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly called Brian. Two days later, it was finally the day when Liam and Ella were returning to New York. Aunt Elsa still needed some medical assistance, so her return date was later than the two little ones. Amelia had taken the day off. She got up early, changed into new c
A few minutes later, the two of them sat face to face, the atmosphere tense. By now, most of the people on the train had left, leaving only a few scattered individuals who were all engrossed in their phones, paying no attention to the scene before them. The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while until, finally, Amelia broke the silence. “Leo, what do you mean by all this?” she asked. Leo gave her a cold, hard stare. “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? What do you mean by secretly hiding my two children? If I hadn’t sent someone to investigate, were you planning on never telling me?” Amelia froze. So he knew, after all. But then again, it wasn’t really that surprising. After all, the two little ones looked so much like him, especially Liam, who was practically a carbon copy. Even if Leo didn’t know now, he would have found out sooner or later. Amelia let out a sigh. “Leo, I have to warn you seriously. These two children are mine, and I’ve been the one raisin
After hanging up the phone, she stood up straight and pulled the pillow from her stomach. Suddenly she looked like a young lady, not a pregnant woman. She used a wet tissue to clean the blood on her leg, then wrapped the little bundle in her coat and carried her out. Outside the restroom, Liam had been waiting for Ella. He was only six years old, so he couldn't go into the women's restroom and had to wait outside. However, he had been waiting for a long time, and Ella still hadn't come out. Liam frowned. At this moment a tall young woman walked out of the restroom, holding a child in her arms. The child was wrapped in a long coat, so Liam couldn't see the face. The woman walked towards the exit with the child. Liam didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but then he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of shoes under the coat.They were red leather shoes, the same as the ones Ella was wearing today. Liam trembled and ran towards them. However, at that moment, a shadow f
Before long, Amelia pinpointed their location. She pointed to a small red dot on the laptop screen and exclaimed, “They're on the highway.” Leo’s expression shifted. “I’ll send someone right away to block the highway exits.” Amelia nodded in agreement. But then, the small red dot stopped moving. Moments later, it veered off the main road and headed in another direction. Amelia quickly stopped Leo. “Don’t block them yet.” She pointed to the red dot on the screen and said, “It looks like they've abandoned the car.” Leo noticed this too. He zoomed in on the map on the screen, recognizing that section of the road. There were several small side roads there, each leading to different places—some to villages, some into the mountains, and others elsewhere. If the kidnappers had fled that way, finding them again would be difficult. Thinking of this, Leo slammed his hand on his thigh in frustration. Amelia, on the other hand, remained completely calm. She carefully considere
