Clearly, Amelia didn’t want to discuss the issue any further. She took a few steps forward, her black boots clicking against the ground, her long hair flowing down to her waist. Her legs were long and slender, her fair skin almost glowing.

But Carl still noticed something unusual about her right wrist. Suddenly, he raised her wrist, his dark eyes lowering as he asked, “What happened here?”

Amelia was unconcerned. “I must have scraped it against a tree while avoiding hitting the wrong person. It’s fine, I’ll take care of it when I get back…”

Her sentence was abruptly cut off.

It was because of Carl’s sudden movement. He leaned down, his lips brushing against her wrist. His touch was dangerously close, yet gentle and tender.

It wasn’t quite a kiss, but the coolness of his lips eased the burning sensation from her injury.

Amelia had never been this close to anyone before. She instinctively tried to pull her wrist away.

But Carl tightened his grip, his deep gaze lifting to meet her

    Amelia raised her eyes: "However, the decision is in your hands. If you want to stay in Miami, I will have Sir Hewson make arrangements for you. If you wish to return to Seattle for a visit, I will also send someone to take you back."She knew that everyone present was reluctant to leave this place. They had spent the first half of their lives working for the chamber of commerce, and as for the second half, Amelia certainly hoped they could return home and rest well.Reginald took a deep breath: "I will follow Ms. Cromwell's advice. I will go back to Seattle and have a good rest."Dominic and the others exchanged glances, then said in unison: "We will also listen to Ms. Cromwell, but—" Dominic looked at Connor, "You must keep a close watch on the chamber of commerce. Don't let it fall into someone else's hands again."Connor's expression was serious: "Unless I die, it won't happen. Besides, my grandson is growing up and will not let you down."Desmond, who was standing nearby, got up:

    Amelia: "...""Elijah is?" Amelia rested her chin on her hand.Carl replied unhurriedly, "His identity hasn't changed. He's our younger brother."Amelia glanced sideways. "I thought..."Just as she finished speaking, Amelia's phone rang. She glanced at it, her eyes lighting up."I've been waiting for your call," Amelia said softly, speaking in standard French.The person on the other end spoke fluent French: "Oh, this matter isn't so easy. I asked a lot of people but got no information. Only recently did I get a lead. It was secretly detained by the intelligence department. I found an excuse to meet with the deputy director, got him drunk, and only then did I get the information out of him.""That group of people is most likely being held in a special detention center. Officially, it's a private security training base, but in reality, it's a place for detaining people."Upon hearing this, Amelia frowned slightly. "So this place is like a prison? You can only get in, not out?""That's

    Adrienne's pupils contracted: "So you've had your eyes on me for a long time!""That's right." Janessa made no attempt to hide it: "Do you know why my skin is so flawless?" She gently stroked her smooth cheek. "The secret to eternal youth, the ancients already discovered it—virgin blood.""You're insane! That's just superstition, and superstition can't be trusted!" Adrienne struggled, but the straps held her limbs firmly in place."Superstition?" Janessa sneered, pointing to a device on the wall. "See that? It's a blood purification device improved from ancient texts. Ordinary transfusions only slow aging, but I've found that blood extracted under specific emotional states contains special enzymes. Combined with a certain formula, the effect is astonishing."Adrienne's body trembled: "So... those young girls who disappeared in Miami before..."Janessa's expression was cold: "You're right. They were sacrifices, and they should be proud of it.""You're a devil..." Adrienne said in despa

    Amelia suddenly spoke, causing Janessa to pause for a moment before quickly regaining her composure. "I don't know her." With that, she quickened her pace and walked into the lounge.Watching Janessa's reaction, she vaguely guessed that Janessa must know Elara, and it was very likely that she was Elara herself. Although nothing about her seemed to match, ever since they met, Janessa's responses had been rather intriguing."Let me see you out," Elena walked over. "Our boss is quite busy, please forgive us."Amelia stood up. "It's fine, I understand."After escorting Amelia to the door, Elena turned and headed back toward the lounge."Boss, do you know her?" Elena was also a bit puzzled, since the boss had never acted this way in front of anyone before.Janessa looked at her. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't. Just do your job."Elena nodded and left the lounge. After seeing the door close, Janessa's gaze grew deeper.She had come from Seattle to Miami just to avoid Amelia.She was ind

    "I know her," the young man replied. "When the boss went to the beauty club before, I went to call her."Carl said nothing, glancing at Amelia. Seeing this, Amelia looked at the young man and said, "Could you please go and call Adrienne? Just tell her there are some matters in the restaurant that need her attention."The young man nodded. "I'll go get the boss then." With that, he headed toward the entrance of the beauty club.Carl looked at Amelia. "This is Miami. There are some things we shouldn't get involved in directly, and besides, we're not even sure if the owner of the beauty club is Elara."Amelia nodded lightly. "I got a little carried away just now. Good thing you stopped me."The young man had already reached the entrance of the beauty club. As soon as he knocked, someone came to the door. "What's up?""I'm looking for our boss," the young man said at the door. "There are some things the boss needs to handle."The person smiled. "Adrienne is getting a beauty treatment righ

    It was not just as the lady boss had said; the small red dot on her wrist looked even more like a mark."Boss, hearing you say that makes me tempted," Amelia smiled. "Could you introduce me? If I could become a member, I'd pay any amount."The lady boss paused. "Sister, you know I can't make that decision, but I can help you ask. Whether the club owner will do me this favor is hard to say."Amelia nodded. "It's fine. It's already great that you're willing to help me. Whether I can get into the club depends on my luck."The lady boss smiled. "Alright, go down and eat quickly, or the food will get cold and won't taste good. I'll go next door to the club now and ask for you.""Thank you so much, sister," Amelia said sweetly. "Beautiful and kind-hearted, I should learn from you.""You're too good at giving compliments," the lady boss couldn't hide her smile. "If I don't get you a membership, I'll be embarrassed to see you again."Amelia's
