Mark awkwardly smiled and said, “Before our company had a small team and the workload was light so everyone got used to being casual. Don't worry I will make a big effort to rectify this in the next few days. We will never let this kind of thing happen again.”

Amelia furrowed her brows. “It's okay as long as the job is done well.”

She paused and said, “Mr Mark you can leave now I will contact you if I have any questions after reviewing the documents.”

“Okay ma'am”

After Mark left Amelia quickly took out her phone.

Sure enough, Leo was trending on all social media platforms.

As the heir of Reynold Corporation, Leo was once rated as the most handsome Diamond bachelor by major media outlets due to his youth, wealth, and good looks.

He was even jokingly referred to as the national husband by netizens because there were too many women who wanted to marry him.

Now his name was prominently displayed on the hot list, followed by hashtag #Exwife#.

    When they left the Reynold family mansion Sophia called out to Leo.“Leo!”She ran over and smiled, “Are you going back to Flower Hill now?”Leo nodded.“Well my car broke down, so I didn't drive here today. Can you give me a ride down the mountains and I'll take a taxi back myself?”The Reynold family mansion was built on the mountainside with a private winding road of three kilometers that was not accessible to outside vehicles.Leo looked at his wristwatch, it was nine o'clock at night.He said in a deep voice, “Get in the car I'll take you.”Five minutes later.The car was driving smoothly in the darkness with Sophia sitting next to Leo, driven by James.She glanced at Leo's face and hesitated for a long time before summoning the courage to speak, "Leo, the public opinion is getting out of hand I feel like it's not good.”“I'm thinking we should issue a statement or something or at least pay to remove any news or articles related to the drowning video. Otherwise, if everyone keeps

    Leo's expression froze.“Did you fire Sophia? I heard she not only didn't leave but also got promoted. She's now a manager of a certain department in Reynold corporation. Wow, how powerful.”Leo's eyes flickered.He said in a deep voice, “You only suggested that she leave, but didn't say she couldn't be rehired, so what I did doesn't count as a breach of contract.”Amelia didn't want to play a word game with him. She said coldly, “let go.”Leo didn't budge.Amelia lowered her head and bit his hand.Leo winced in pain and instinctively let go.Amelia pulled back her wrist and snarled at him, “Touch me again and I will bite you to death.”Leo looked at her for some second, and for some reason instead of getting angry he felt a strange feeling rising in his heart.He said with a stern face, “Amelia you can't beat me.”Amelia snorted coldly, “Whether I can beat you or not we'll only know after we try.

    Liam sighed helplessly. “Okay, I won't scold you anymore.”Ella pouted and glanced at Liam, “But you haven't apologized yet?”After a two-minute stand-off, he gritted his teeth and said, “I'm sorry.”Ella smiled happily, “It's okay.""Liam, actually I'm very curious about that man. Who is he that made Mom love him so much six years ago and also caused the death of our uncle?”Liam's face darkened. “No matter who he is, he is our enemy.”He paused for two seconds and looked at Ella seriously. “Ella remember even if Mom may not meet him as she is back in New York it doesn't mean our grudge with him is over. One day we will avenge our uncle's death and make up for the grievances that mom had suffered. In any case, we must not let this man go unpunished.”Ella nodded heavily while holding her lollipop. “Okay, I agree with you on this.” After a while, she asked again, “So what should we do?”Liam looked at the code on the screen and a cold smile appeared on his face. “Don't worry, I've pr

    She was not a fool on the contrary she was very clear about the rules of the market and what customers were thinking.They would use whichever app was more convenient and follow whichever app offered them more discounts.There was no loyalty whatsoever.The performance of “Beauty Clothes” was secondary.The most important thing was that she was afraid that if she would mess up her first task after being transferred. Leo would not trust her in the future.She knew too well about his temperament. In some ways, he was so cold that he would be considered heartless. She had worked hard to come to the headquarters of Reynolds Corporation and couldn't afford to be transferred again without accomplishing anything.With this in mind, Sophia made a call to her secretary.“Help me contact the person in charge of One Closet and tell her that I want to meet her.”Sophia thought that as a high-level executive of Reynolds corporation and the future, Mrs. Reynold the CEO would give her some face.Ho

    After six years of practice, Amelia had become adept at the drinking games played at the table. The two of them were having a great time, and soon, others were drawn to join in. With so many people they decided to switch to a different game. The first person held a tissue in their mouth and the others took turns tearing it out. The loser was the one who couldn't tear it out anymore.This game has a slightly sadistic element to it, as both men and women were playing, and the stakes were high. The loser had to drink and Amelia never liked to lose, so every time it came to her turn no matter how much tissue was left she would find a way to tear it out.Coincidentally sitting next to her was Alex, as the tissue got shorter and shorter, everyone laughed and urged her to drink, but Amelia refused, and instead pushed Alex back to his chair and bit the tissue out of his mouth. The room erupted in laughter.Alex was a bit embarrassed although Amelia didn't touch his lips their position was su

Instead, he was so angry that he slapped her and she fell to the ground.Amelia took the opportunity to crawl out using both hands and feet.“Help!

    The phone call was from chairman Zimmer who asked about her sudden departure with Leo. Amelia didn't tell him about what happened in the bathroom only said that she had something to attend to and didn't know anything about Leo's situation.Chairman Zimmer didn't press further and they exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up. After the call, Amelia looked at Leo and said, “Thank you for today.”Regardless of anything else, Leo had saved her today. Amelia wasn't the type to forget kindness, but she wouldn't give up seeking revenge.Leo seemed to realize only then that their current relationship was not ideal. His previously calm expression turned cold and he snorted, “Who cares about your thanks.”Amelia handed him the bank card that the drunk man had given her. “I don't have anything to repay you with, nor do I want to owe you any favors. Just take this card as a token of appreciation. From now on let's keep our distance and avoid any further entanglement.”Leo's face imme

    She quickly dismissed her thought. ‘No, it's impossible.’ Amelia had died a long time ago, lost in the vast and icy sea. How could she possibly be the person in charge of One Closet? It must be just a coincidence. After all, so many people have the surname Smith and it was ridiculous to suspect that anyone with the same surname and age was related to Amelia. With this in mind, Sophia took a deep breath and ordered, “Continue the investigation and find out everything about the lady in question.” “Yes ma'am.” After hanging up the phone she went to Leo's office. “Leo, are you done with your work?” Leo was sitting behind his desk dealing with official business. Without looking up he replied, “What's the matter?” Sophia pouted in dissatisfaction. “Didn't you promise to have lunch with me today? Have you forgotten?” Leo paused for a moment. He had indeed promised her. That night he had left without saying goodbye outside the Coffee Shop. When Sophia brought it up later, he had pr

    Leo claimed her mouth in a kiss that was rough and filled with longing, devouring her like a hungry wolf that had been starved for days. Amelia matched his intensity, intertwining her fingers in his hair while moaning between the kisses. His hands moved up her body, exploring every inch as if he had been waiting for this moment forever and had finally gotten the opportunity. She gasped when his fingers brushed her nipple, which was already hard and longing to be licked and devoured by his mouth. She could feel the hardness of his desire pressing against her, only intensifying her own need. “You drive me crazy Amelia Smith,” he murmured against her lips. “I miss you and I don’t want to hold back tonight. I want every part of you baby girl.” “Then don’t hold back,” she quickly replied, her voice barely more than a whisper. “I’m all yours, claim me, Daddy.” Her words made his hormones rise even further. Without breaking the kiss, he hurriedly lifted her and carried her t

    The next day, the news spread online that Sophia committed suicide by hanging herself in prison. It felt strange and heavy but for Amelia, it meant a bitter-sweet relief. She woke up with a slight headache, the sunlight streaming through the curtains. Last night memories flooded through her mind—Leo's warm embrace, his apology and reassurance, the soft kiss that stirred long-hidden feelings. Her cheeks warmed and the color turned a shade of pink. She reached out for Leo who was already awake, sitting against the headboard with a look of concern etched on his face. “Morning, beautiful,” he said softly, studying her face for any signs of distress. “Morning,” Amelia replied, blushing and rubbing her temples. “What happened last night? I remember bits and pieces.” That was a lie, she remembered every single detail but just wanted to play innocent. Leo smiled gently. “You had a little too much fun celebrating your aunt's recovery. But it was a good night for us.” Ame

    A month later, Aunt Elsa’s condition had stabilized. The surgical wound had nearly healed, and all that was left was some aftercare. Once home, she could take her medication and recuperate slowly without needing further hospitalization. Early that morning, Amelia went to the hospital to handle Aunt Elsa’s discharge procedures. In the hospital room, Aunt Elsa was sitting on the bed, watching TV. Seeing Amelia come in, Aunt Elsa smiled and said, “You’re just in time. Come and see this.” She pointed to the TV. Curious, Amelia looked over and saw the news playing. A familiar face appeared on the screen, and the host’s flat, detached voice filled the room. “Recently, the sensational murder case has concluded. The primary culprit, Sophia Jones, has been found guilty of her crime." "Due to the severity and serial nature of the case, she has been sentenced to life imprisonment.” Amelia blinked rapidly, her thoughts swirling as she tried to process the news. Life imprisonm

    That night, Aunt Elsa woke up. Blake checked on her and found her condition better than he had expected. Perhaps Amelia’s persistence had truly moved the heavens, as the cancer cells had cleared, and even the memory loss Blake had anticipated wasn’t present. It all seemed too good to be true. When Amelia heard the news, she was naturally overjoyed. Leo also heard about Elsa’s successful surgery. He didn’t say much, but that night, he quietly ordered the kitchen to prepare a few extra dishes, silently celebrating Elsa’s recovery. Amelia had agreed to marry Leo to secure Blake’s help for Aunt Elsa. Now that Aunt Elsa was nearly healed, Amelia realized her relationship with Leo was a temporary fix. She knew she had to find a way to completely cut ties with him. That night, Amelia decided to cook a few dishes herself. To prevent anyone from interrupting her plan, she sent the children out with Eleven for the night. Then, she dismissed the household staff Leo had hired for th

    As Inspector Ralph led Sophia to the police station, her heart raced with a mix of fear and disbelief.Soon, they arrived, and one of the officers led her into the interrogation room and gestured towards a chair, "Miss Jones, please take a seat. Inspector Ralph will be here shortly."With that he left, leaving her all alone in the room. The cold, bare room did nothing to calm her racing heart it only made her heart beat faster with each passing second.The walls were painted a dull gray, and the only light was a flickering fluorescent bulb that buzzed overhead. The smell of cleaning products filled the air, making her even more anxious.She never imagined that one day she would end up in this kind of situation. She stood up to reduce the pacing of her heart and her trembling fingers.Soon, the door opened and Inspector Ralph walked in. Sophia sat down, trying to stay calm and composed. "What kind of nightmare is this?" She thought. "Can I wake up already?" She pinched herself and

    She said in a calm voice, “You didn’t do anything wrong, and I don’t need your apology.” Once, those words had been what she wanted most, but now they meant nothing to her. The bitterness of the past clung to her like a heavy fog. She’d never considered forgiving him, so how could she accept it? After Amelia finished speaking, Leo felt a tightening in his chest. He ran a hand through his hair, frustration coursing through him as he processed the weight of her words. “Don’t say that. We were all kept in the dark before. Now that the truth is out, you know I didn’t do those things on purpose, right?” he said quickly, his voice rising slightly. Amelia sneered. “Yes, you didn’t do it on purpose, but can the pain I suffered over the years be forgotten? Leo, you didn’t personally send someone to kill us, but back then, you did divorce me because of Sophia, didn’t you?” “I can’t hate you, but I can never forgive you. We can’t pretend those years never happened. Neither you nor I c

    The sentence made both Amelia and Leo furrow their brows. They exchanged curious glances, wondering what could prompt Black Cobra to say such a thing. Leo’s gaze hardened as he made a decision. “Pardon the living, punish the dead.” With those words, he signaled his agreement to Black Cobra’s condition. Black Cobra breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had a chance to keep living to protect his family. He knew his death would endanger their lives, and he couldn’t risk it. He then revealed the secret he’d been hiding. “The accident that led to your best friend Damien's death had nothing to do with Amelia. She wasn't the one responsible." The revelation left them both stunned. Relief washed over Amelia. Damien’s death had nothing to do with her; while surprising, Black Cobra’s words intrigued her even more. Still, she was curious to know who had caused the accident that led to Damien's death and why they’d framed her. With questions swirling in her mind, she looked at

    After getting out of the car, James opened the door, and they walked into the building. As soon as they entered, Amelia’s first impression was the smell of blood. The lights turned on, revealing a man lying on the marble floor of the living room, covered in blood. His hair clung together with sweat and blood, and both of his hands hung limply, possibly broken. His legs twisted in an unnatural position, making him look grotesque. Amelia felt as if she had seen him from somewhere. Leo gestured to James, who stepped forward and brushed away the hair covering the man’s face, revealing the person who had kidnapped her before. “How did he end up here?” Amelia asked in disbelief. Leo glanced at her. “What do you think?” It suddenly dawned on Amelia that Leo’s promise of a show tonight referred to this. Her eyes turned cold. She wasn’t a saint and wouldn’t sympathize with someone who had tried to harm her. “Who sent you to kidnap me?” she asked, her voice icy. Black Cobra had

    On the ground, lay a mobile phone from which Sophia's voice echoed. “Have you taken action? This is your last chance Cobra, I won’t allow any more mistakes,” Sophia said sharply. Black Cobra replied coldly, “Don’t worry. This time, either she dies or I perish.” After several failures, Black Cobra’s patience had worn completely thin. Combined with Sophia’s relentless pursuit and threats, he felt trapped with no way out. He knew that failure was not an option this time, the future of his family hung in the balance, and the pressure weighed heavily on him. After speaking, Black Cobra picked up the sniper rifle. He believed that as long as Amelia dared to come out, he could kill her. Even if he was caught afterward, he would not regret it. Sophia listened to the commotion on the other end and breathed a sigh of relief before hanging up the phone. Meanwhile, at Wilson’s Domestic Group, Amelia was about to leave the office when her assistant informed her of Leo’s presence in t
