Amelia immediately grew angry as she heard that statement. There was no way she was going to let this despicable family in her company. It was just enough for them to be the cause of her mother's death, now they want to tamper with her legacy.

“Hmm! I never knew that the Stone Jade Palace Company that my mother built with her sweat and blood was a family company. How come nobody ever told me?” she said sarcastically.

“Hahaha!” Master Stone laughed to ease the awkwardness. “What are you saying? Of course, the company is a family company. Your mother was just fortunate to take it to greater heights.

“You don't need to bother grandfather. If the Elder sister is not comfortable with it, then we can leave it”

Amelia narrowed her eyes at this. To others, it would seem as if he was being sensible but to get to know that it was just a fake act and he was scheming something bad. She knew this brother of hers. He would not abandon the thought of working for the company so easily.

    The lady trembled. She obviously did not expect to be found out and she did not think that Amelia would want to take revenge on her.Amelia smiled as she looked at her flustered face. To the lady, the smile looked like the smile the devil gave to Eve as he trapped her with the forbidden fruit.“What is happening here?” a bright sunny voice asked.Amelia did not even look to know who the owner of the voice was. It was one of the worst people in the world. Her Stepsister, Giny.The lady immediately spoke up. “I accidentally fell and almost spilled a drink on Miss. Amelia's dress and now she is trying to take revenge. She even asked me to kneel and apologize to her. The drink did not even touch her at all” the lady said, feeling aggrieved.The truth was that Giny had been watching the scene from afar and decided to use it to make Amelia look bad. She hated this stepsister of hers. Upon all that she did to outshine her in the past, she only became more outstanding and was even having rela

His main aim in coming to Master Stone’s Age celebration was to ask for Amelia's hand in marriage.He never believed that Amelia had gotten married and only saw it as a ruse and a trick employed by her not to marry him. Although he didn't love her, he needed to marry her to take over the company.Especially now that she had miraculously increased the stock prices of the company.

    Unfortunately, even though he had retrieved his gaze from Amelia, it had not gone unnoticed by Edward. He immediately panicked in fear thinking that this rich man would try to snatch Amelia away from him and thwart his plans.He immediately stepped forward and reminded Master Stone of the vitality pills. “Grandfather-in-law, why don't you take one of the vitality pills now? Consider it spoiling yourself for tonight. Don't worry in the future I will try to get more of these pills for you”.His plan worked as Master Stone's mind immediately went back to the pills. His eyes widened in delight at the promise that had been made to him. He immediately called Amelia.“Amelia, since I am in good spirits, I think we should decide the date of your wedding. Since this man claims to have known you. Two weeks from now would not be bad, would it?”.Edward smiled as his plan was even better than he had thought. Now the old man would fix the date of the wedding soon, which was splendid.Andrew chuckl

    “No no no! Ahem, I mean yes! Oh no. Whatever” Amelia said as she blushed fiercely and tried to cover her face. To her surprise, Nathaniel made no move to cover his torso and went and sat in the bed.Amelia didn't know why she was flustered. It was not as if this was the first time she was seeing a man's upper body but she just had a strong reaction to his. What came to her mind was to run her hand along his abs but she immediately shook her head to clear her thoughts.“I can do this. I can do this. No need to be worked up Amelia. It's just his torso. Just take it like Mark's own. Nothing to be flustered about” she said to herself as she went and sat on the other side of the bed.Unknowingly her back was tensed up and she was having difficulty breathing normally. She changed into her nightgown and tried to relax but she just couldn't. She didn't know why he was torturing her that way.Unable to take it anymore, she turned towards him. “Are you going to bed like that? Why don't you chan

Now the thing had happened again but his heart moved for his best friend's wife. He knew that it was wrong and tried to distance himself from her but like they say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”.He entered his room and went to the wine cellar and brought out some alcohol.

    A few days had past since the incident at the Stone's Grand residence. Amelia had been avoiding Nathaniel since that night. She had decided to move out from the room they were both occupying together.They were only married in name and not by love or any other string emotions, so there was no reason for them to stay in the same bedroom. And plus Amelia was no fool she found out that she had an attraction to Nathaniel which was not good for their relationship. The less contact she had within the better.She had not been able to sleep well these past few nights. Anytime she felt Nathaniel on the bed, her body immediately became tense and she would not be able to sleep properly.Meanwhile Nathaniel had noticed and only smiled to himself everytime. With her falling for him, it would be easier for him to achieve his plans if taking her company.On this day Amelia had gone to work late because she had slept late due to her not being comfortable on her bed.

    Amelia slept in the office that night and the next day, Ann brought some clothes for her to wear. Ann was really capable as she had taken note of the brand of clothes that Amelia usually wore but Amelia couldn't help but notice that the clothes that Ann had picked weren't really her style.“Why did you pick this style of clothes Ann? You know that this is not the style of clothes I usually wear”“Oh! The people you would be meeting at the socialite gathering are all sophisticated people ma. Though your usual style of clothes is good. They are not suitable for the kind of gathering you are going to”“You need clothes that would make you stand out. From working with you, I have learned that you are not bothered about the envious gaze or jealousy from people”.“Wearing this style of clothes would attract attention to you, both positively and negatively. The clothes would make you stand out and I can assure you that they are expensive and are worth you wearing them” Ann explained.Amelia

    The ladies in the room quickly adjusted themselves and stopped talking as soon as she entered the room. Amelia pretended as I'd she hadn't heard what they had said and sat down on one of the chairs in the room. “Good day. I'm happy to meet everyone. It such a privilege to be invited by you all to your gathering” Amelia said but rolled her eyes in her mind.As she spoke, a few women came to meet her. She was glad that Ann had chosen such a dress for her as she could see them all staring at her clothes. Their clothes were undeniably good but they were nothing close to the ones she was wearing.“Nice to meet you, Miss Stone. I'm Sandra. Is it right if I call you by your first name Amelia?Amelia surveyed the person before her. She was beautiful but not the type that would drag a person's breath away. Just easy on the eyes. She had those fake smiles plastered on her face and Amelia could tell at once that she was only faking it and the woman may harbor evil intentions toward her.“No ne

    Thud! Ann immediately flew some tables away and coughed up blood as Amelia's fast reflexes kicked in and she gave her a flying kick. Ann was mad with anger but was also in a lot of pain. She never expected Amelia to be able to deflect her attack and even cause her such an injury. There was really a lot she didn't know about her and she could not even afford to mess with her.She knew that she was done for and knew that Amelia would probably not let her go so she tried to get up on her feet and run away but she found out that no matter how she tried to get up, she just couldn't. The fall from the kick had been so bad that she had been paralyzed in her lower back and so was not able to get up.She panicked as she tried once again to get up but she couldn't. “What have you done to me you bitch. Why can't I get up? Come and do something. I can't get up. I can't get up” She wailed as she knew that she was finished. Apart from being unemployed, she was now paralyzed. This was just too much.

    Ann almost fell from her seat when she saw the photos. She never expected that Amelia was aware of the secret that she had been trying to hide for long. She instantly shivered at the thought of this, Amelia could destroy her life entirely and there was nothing she could do about it.“How did you get those pictures?”“That's not the question you should be asking. I know about everything, your plan to sabotage me. Did you really think that it could escape my notice? You truly haven't learned a thing from being around me. You ought to have learnt something and here I was thinking that you were smart. You are clearly just a dummy.”Ann clenched her teeth. She wanted nothing but to rip the photos in front of her to shreds. She had just gone out for one night of enjoyment and she was being dealt with like this. The only thing left for her was to beg. If she played it well Amelia could forgive her and even help her flush out the person.“I didn't mean to do it. I was being blackmailed by som

    “Nothing. Is there anything to feel about him? He is just a business partner.”Ann sighed. It seemed that she may not be able to get anything out of her concerning that. Well, she would find out more when they have eaten to their full. Luckily for her, she had brought a drug to help her deal with the effects of the wine of course she would also try to avoid drinking much but not too little to avoid suspicion.“It seems that you are not interested in romantic relationships.”“Well, you can say that. A relationship is not just for me.”Ann sighed again. “It's a pity. With your beauty, so many men would be dying to have your hand or to be in a relationship with you if you aren't even interested in one.”Ann had never felt jealous about this but she couldn't help her thoughts today as something seemed to change in her when she decided to completely turn against Amelia.“Since you think that the waiter is dashing. Why don't you ask for his number? If it is challenging for you, I can help y

    Amelia could not believe her eyes when she saw Ann. Ann was wearing the detective earrings that she had created herself. This was one of the products her company made so how could she not recognize it when she saw it on Ann? Instead of being honest with her, she decided to employ such means.This means that she had already made up her mind. Amelia was no fool. She knew that the snake wanted to gather evidence or have something to hold against her and that was why she planned to record her meeting. Amelia made up her mind to deal with her ruthlessly. The small chick had the mind to betray her and then find incriminating information on her.It was a good thing that she had never thought of including her in her other life, if not it would have been a disaster. She had hoped to help her out of her situation but she was shocked to be met with this kind of behavior. Since this was what she wanted, then she would make sure she suffered direly for the consequences that would befall her.Ameli

    Amelia turned to look at him. “Oh, Vincent. He is one of the workers in my company. What's the matter?”“What are you speaking with him so informally? He even called you by your name. Since when is that a proper employer-to-employee relationship.”Amelia's face curved upwards as she gave a small chortle, “He is one of my loyal subordinates and this is how I treat them. Is there a problem with that? Don't you call your female employees by name?”“No I don't” Nathaniel answered his voice becoming frosty.“I call them by the position and role that they have been assigned to play in the company. You should do that too. Maintain a fine line between employee and friends.”“Do you maintain a fine line with your secretary Justin? I don't want to turn this into an argument but I clearly won't listen to you. I have tried this method elsewhere and it has worked perfectly so I don't see the the reason why I shouldn't use it.”“Where?”“Excuse me?”“Where have you tried this technique before? If I

    Ann immediately went silent. She panicked as she didn't know what to do or say. Could her boss have found out about what had happened?“Hello, are you still there?” Amelia asked as she got no reply from her.Ann thought of seizing this opportunity to do what she had wanted to do since morning. She had tried to go to the company against the instructions of her boss and was surprised when she was not let in because according to the security personnel. Amelia had ordered that she was not to be in the office today.She was not sure whether Amelia had found out about her deeds and decided to hinder her from coming to the company today because she was aware of what she wanted to do. But hearing the meeting, she was somewhat convinced that she was not as she would have already gotten her arrested. Still with the little time she had got to know her boss. She knew that she was a very calculative person and could have the patience to bring down her enemies in one fell swoop. She shivered at th

    On the other hand, Nathaniel did not look tired at all. He looked so relaxed as if the work could not compare to other activities he had engaged in. The only thing that gave the fact that he was involved in some work was the way his clothes were soaked in his sweat.His abs were glaring under his shirt and Amelia couldn't help but feel flustered. She quickly shifted her face to one side so that Nathaniel would not look at her flustered face.Meanwhile, Nathaniel sat down on the floor and was lost in thoughts. There were many strange things about Amelia. He needed to find out more about this person who was his wife. From the investigations he had conducted before marrying her, there was no mention of some things that he now knew. If she was capable of hiding that then she was capable of hiding a lot of things too. First was the fact that she knew business so well as if she had been doing business for a long time. Her expertise showed not only raw talent but also experience. But how an

    Amelia turned back to see Nathaniel dressed smartly in a black tuxedo. He looked explicitly charming and she couldn't help but drool at the sight of him. She quickly coughed and brought her head back to normal.“Don't tell me you want us to paint it ourselves.”“You know I don't joke around” Nathaniel answered in a deadpanned voice.Amelia chuckled in amusement. “Don't tell me that you want to paint this room in your tuxedo?”“Of course not. Let me go and change my clothes” Nathaniel said as he entered the private lounge in his office. Soon he came out dressed in casual clothes.Nathaniel then walked up to Justin. “Get the paint and other materials we need now.”Justin immediately went out to gather the things as instructed by Nathaniel.“How do you expect us to paint the room like this? Don't the chairs and other things need to be covered before they get spoiled by the paint? And do you expect us to be the ones to scrape off the paint from the wall? That will take forever and I take

    Ann soon arrived at Nathaniel's office. Unlike last time, she was immediately received by one of the staff whom Nathaniel had prepared to receive her beforehand. Amelia followed the private elevator and headed to Nathaniel's office floor of the building. She was surprised to see some people whom she recognized to be painters in the lobby waiting. She immediately walked up to them.“Good morning gentlemen. Please why are you all here and who called you.”A man who seemed to be the head of their group smiled and walked up to her. “Good morning ma. You must be Miss Stone. We have been waiting for you. We were called by Mr. Brooke. He told us to take orders from you when you arrive.”Amelia was surprised. Nathaniel never informed her of this. She was confused as to what was happening. Just then, Nathaniel's Secretary, Justin, came out of Nathaniel's office space. He immediately walked to her. “Good morning ma'am. I have been expecting you. These men here are painters.
