At this moment, Amelia had no idea that the Reynold Group was planning something significant that involved her. Amelia headed to the airport today to meet Aunt Elsa, who had finally regained enough strength to return after spending time abroad. Originally, Aunt Elsa had planned to travel back with the children, but her fragile health back then had prompted the doctor to recommend delaying the trip. However, just a few days ago, the doctor told Amelia that Aunt Elsa’s condition had significantly improved, and she could now safely fly. Acting quickly, Amelia arranged everything, booking the flight and working with the doctor to ensure Aunt Elsa’s journey went smoothly. Aunt Elsa’s flight was scheduled to land around six in the evening. Amelia and the kids stood at the arrivals area, scanning the sea of travelers for what felt like ages until they finally spotted her approaching. “Aunt Elsa, you're finally back!” Amelia exclaimed. “Aunt Elsa, we missed you so much!” the kids ch
Sophia entered a private room with a man, arm in arm. Though they were facing away, Amelia felt certain it was Sophia. Why was she with another man? Didn’t she claim to be in love with Leo? Amelia was confused but decided it wasn't her concern. She didn’t investigate further and left to join her family, who were waiting for her. After returning home, Aunt Elsa stayed overnight before Amelia took her to the hospital the following day. Given Aunt Elsa’s condition, long-term hospital care was needed. Amelia had no choice but to leave her in the hospital and visit her each evening after work. Once everything was settled, she returned to her duties at the company. Upon arriving at work, she was greeted with an unexpected news: The CEO of Reynolds Group had officially announced plans to acquire One Closet. Amelia's expression changed upon hearing this, and she immediately called Leo. He answered after two rings. Amelia wasted no time, asking, "What’s going on?" Leo raised his
The report revealed that the employee who tragically passed at Wilson’s Group did not take his life due to love but because of overwhelming personal and work-related pressures. The release of this report sparked an immediate media frenzy, with numerous outlets flocking to interview the deceased's family. In front of the cameras, the family openly wept, sharing their grievances about the deceased’s struggles, heavy work burdens, and how the boss treated employees harshly, pushing them beyond their limits. To further validate their claims, the family presented the employee's exhaustive work schedule, packed from dawn till dusk, even on weekends. This revelation ignited widespread public outrage. A flood of online criticisms ensued, with many netizens tagging One Closet's official site, demanding answers. Many customers who had purchased clothing from One Closet swiftly hit the return button, stating they no longer wished to support a seemingly heartless platform. Some indivi
"Are you the heartless boss who killed my grandson?” Mrs. Johnson didn’t hesitate and slapped Amelia hard across the face. Amelia's face was turned to the side, and a burning pain spread across her cheek. The scene fell silent. Everyone looked at her in surprise. Amelia licked her cheek with her tongue and then chuckled, seemingly in a self-deprecating manner. She lifted her head and looked directly at Mrs. Johnson. “Now that you have hit me, are you feeling better?” “Feeling better?” Mrs. Johnson thought that Amelia would be angry after being slapped. After all, wealthy and powerful bosses like her cared about their reputation, right? So she was a little scared when she first slapped Amelia. But when she saw that Amelia not only wasn’t angry but also spoke to her so kindly, her courage grew. Mrs. Johnson angrily said, “You killed my grandson, and now you've only been slapped once. You’re asking me if I feel better. Let me tell you, even if you die, you can’t bring my grands
"What is all this about? Did David actually say that himself?" Amelia's brows furrowed. "Could you please tell me exactly what he said?" John grew visibly impatient. "What else could he say? His job was tough, the pay wasn't great, and his boss kept piling pressure on him. All of that is true, right? You can’t deny it, even if you wanted to.” Amelia sneered. “If I remember correctly, didn’t you provide the media with a list of David’s work duties?” John’s eyes shifted uneasily as he nodded. “Yeah, so what? Are you saying your company keeps all of that hidden?” Shaking her head, Amelia responded, “I’m not sure where you got that list from, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with David’s actual responsibilities." “This situation is either a misunderstanding or a deliberate attempt to defame our company. If it’s the former, we can resolve it quickly." "But if it’s the latter, Mr. Johnson, do you understand how serious it is to falsely accuse an internationally listed
The woman arched an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Amelia. “You summoned me here, yet you don’t even recognize who I am?” Her boldness was striking. It’s no surprise she can deceive so effortlessly. Amelia maintained a calm demeanor and produced her business card. “I’m Amelia Smith, head of the domestic division at Wilson Group, and David’s direct supervisor.” The woman accepted the card with a casual flicker of amusement. “Vice president? You’re quite young for that title. Did you advance by cozying up to numerous bosses?” Maggie, Amelia’s assistant, who was present, bristled at the comment. “Why do you speak like that? Do you assume everyone has to sleep their way to the top like you?” Amelia raised a hand to silence her assistant. “Maggie, let it go.” The woman sneered, flicked her hand, and tossed the business card into a box cluttered with various other cards on the bar. “Alright, I’m not interested in your career path. What is it that you want from me?” Ameli
Amelia watched the clock as it stroked at 11 pm still Leo wasn't back. 'Looks like he won't be coming home tonight,’ she thought. Her heart sank as she began walking towards her bedroom.Just then the sound of a light click came from the front door and her heart lifted as she hurried over. “Leo, you are back.”Leo was wearing a dark cashmere coat and his tall figure looked even more handsome and cold in the cold winter. At the first sight of Amelia, he said, “Amelia I have something to tell you.”Amelia was stunned and her intuition told her that something was off about Leo tonight. But she placed my hands on her slightly bulging belly and smiled.“Sure, I also have something to tell you. I prepared your favorite meal, why don't you eat first, then we will discuss it later.” “Sophia is pregnant, let's get a divorce!”“What?” Amelia swallowed painfully and her smile faded. It was like a heavy hammer had struck her and she stood there in disbelief.Leo continued, “She is already thre
Leo's eyes tightened and he quickly said, “Do everything you can to save the child, and nothing must happen to the mother. I'll be there right away.” He didn't have time to think too much and hung up the phone before stuffing the divorce agreement into Amelia's arm. “Just sign it and leave it at home. I'll send someone to pick it up later. Make sure you are gone before I return.” With that, he got into his car and hurriedly drove away. Amelia held the divorce agreement and watched the car disappear into the distance, feeling as if her heart had turned to ashes. Was there really no need to salvage this marriage? She didn't even bother to read the contents of the agreement, hastily signed it, and then packed a few of her clothes into a large suitcase before heading downstairs. The maid, Dora, was surprised to see her carrying a large suitcase down so late at night. “Madam, where are you going?” Amelia remembered Leo's words and sneered. “Don't call me madam anymore just call me M
