Jackson had his own little tricks. With such a grand entrance, it was easy for anyone to notice when Mr. Lee arrived. He could ask Uncle Will and Emma to inquire about where Mr. Lee went, and it wouldn’t be hard to find out which restaurant he was at.
If that didn’t work, he would just go find the old lady!
But before he could even make it inside, he saw Assistant Ken standing guard outside a copper drum hotpot restaurant. And the table by the window was none other than Chris!
Jackson was stunned. He had been eating at this copper drum hotpot since he was a child, and the place was small and run-down. How could someone like Mr. Lee, such a big shot, be eating here?
In reality, it was Amelia who chose the place.
When Amelia did things, she prioritized convenience: "More meat, Elijah loves it."
Chris, with a smile that bordered on flattery, said, "Bring 20 plates of lamb!"
Eli
"Amelia!?" How could it be that girl?! Jackson stepped back in disbelief, nearly stumbling. If it weren’t for the bodyguards catching him, he might have collapsed right there. Mr. Lee, who had even canceled a business meeting just to see someone, was actually meeting with Amelia?! How could that be?! Jackson was dragged a meter away and slowly regained his composure, but by then, it was too late to rush back inside and see clearly. He couldn’t be mistaken—it was definitely Amelia! And she was sitting with the old lady, the same one who had picked up that little beggar all those years ago! But how could that girl have any connection to Mr. Lee? Jackson racked his brain, then suddenly had a flash of insight. "Live stream!" he murmured to himself. "I remember Mary said the old lady was doing live streaming with that girl!"
The elderly neighbors in the alley, just finishing their morning exercise, saw Amelia standing in front of the medical clinic, fiddling with something."Amelia, what are you up to?" someone asked, looking up at her.Amelia yawned, still looking like she hadn’t fully woken up, exuding a lazy and beautiful charm. "Streaming.""Streaming?" The neighbors were surprised! Although live streaming had become quite common these days, they typically saw it on apps like TikTok and often watched from their phones, but in real life, they had never been exposed to it. Now, they all gathered around, curious to see how she was going to do it.Amelia didn’t hide anything and chose the most popular video platform, one that was actively supporting new streamers. The platform had policies to promote new accounts, so even if she was a beginner, as long as she started streaming at a specific time, she would get a small three-minute recommendation boos
Mrs. LuLu, playing the mediator, interjected, “Look at this new fund I bought—hasn’t shown any increase. Wasn’t Wilson Group supposed to invest in the medical field? Why haven’t we heard anything? This Mr. Lee is probably just pulling a smokescreen.”“Have you met Mr. Lee?” Mary straightened up immediately, not forgetting her main purpose for being here. “Did he say anything?”Mrs. Ernst laughed. “Do you think we can just meet him anytime we want? Even Old Ye can’t meet him so easily.”Mary sneered. “Our family has already been working with Wilson Group. Mr. Lee’s assistant, Ken, has been a friend of my husband for years. It shouldn’t be hard to meet him.”Mrs. Ernst didn’t bother responding to her, dismissing her words as mere boasting.Mary was about to say more when Mrs. LuLu, still looking at her phone, suddenly exclaimed, “Harmony
Even if she hadn’t lent the money, this live stream should be hers!With that thought in mind, Mary stood up, deciding she couldn’t stay at the massage session any longer.At that exact moment, Jackson called her, urging her to come home quickly. He was still living in a dream, happily recounting what had happened today.Mary ground her teeth, her heart filled with resentment. “I should’ve slashed her face when she left!”Jackson furrowed his brow. “I told you, I just want you to spend more time with the old lady. If she’s happy, she’ll surely have that girl speak well of us.”“She's so easy, even flirting with old men in her livestream,” Mary sneered. “No wonder she’s getting so many donations. It must be from Mr. Lee.”Now it made sense. Otherwise, she would have truly thought that girl had some kind of amazing skill, relying on her medical knowledge to mak
“Of course, I didn’t say anything!” The middle-aged woman stood on the hillside, looking around cautiously. Her voice now carried a sense of wariness. “Didn’t you tell us before you left, not to share any information about you two with anyone?”Mia squinted her eyes. “What if they offer money to make you speak?”“We took their money.” The middle-aged woman smirked strangely. “But we gave them false information. Anyway, there’s someone else paying, and they don’t want anyone to find her.”Only then did Mia completely relax with a sigh of relief. “Mom, you did the right thing.”The middle-aged woman wasn’t just anyone—she was Grace, the woman who had swapped the babies all those years ago.It had been so long since Grace had heard “Mom” from Mia that tears started welling up in her eyes. “Mia, your dad and I have been doing wh
Jackson instinctively glanced behind Amelia, wondering why Mr. Lee wasn’t there.Amelia smiled nonchalantly. "Looking for someone?"Jackson feigned a hypocritical smile. "Amelia, there’s been a misunderstanding between us.""What misunderstanding?" Amelia's lips curled slightly. "Is it the misunderstanding where you almost killed me, or the one where you wanted me to go back to the countryside?"The onlookers started murmuring, shocked by their behavior. "Is this how parents treat their children?"Mary could no longer tolerate the gossip from the neighborhood women and exploded. "She’s not even our biological daughter! What else do you want from us? Should we just pamper her? She's like a sticky plaster that can’t be shaken off!"When Jackson saw how she was acting, he realized things were going south and quickly pulled her back."Don’t say anything more," Jackson said, warning her with a look. "Don&rsquo
Amelia had put real force into that kick.Jackson lay curled up on the ground, his mouth full of blood.Mary, terrified, didn’t dare say a word. Her face turned pale.Amelia’s eyes glinted with hostility as she bent down and yanked him up. Her voice was low, but her tone was cold. “I never wanted to lay a hand on anyone in front of Grandma, but someone like you really deserves a beating.”Jackson shrank back, looking toward Victoria. “Mom, do something! Mom!”“Now you call me ‘Mom’?” Amelia’s eyes turned crimson as she lifted his face. “When you kicked Grandma out, why didn’t you remember I was your mother?”*Boom!*Amelia kicked him again, her aura so fierce that it frightened everyone in the alley.She had been suppressing herself for too long, always pretending to be something she wasn’t.She was never a good person, and now, tha
If she wanted to ruin someone online, Mary had plenty of ways to do it!Carl slowly glanced at James, then turned his attention back to the scene.As the top bodyguard, James immediately understood that Mr. Jenkins wanted him to follow Mary.But Amelia subtly blocked his way, smiling gently. "Grandma said to let them go."James hesitated and raised his head.“Listen to her,” Carl’s voice was calm, as if this was the most normal thing in the world.Smith was absolutely shocked. When had Mr. Jenkins ever listened to someone else’s words?Who was this young lady? What was her background?!Amelia, biting a fruit candy, her long black hair flowing, casually responded, “We should give people a chance to change their ways. I’m quite magnanimous.”“Oh?” Carl raised an eyebrow, his fingers twirling the beads on his wrist, clearly skeptical of her statement.
But what she hated even more was herself, as she had no ability to know who the other person was!Amelia's eyes were pale: "No rush, easy to find.""Solving a case sometimes relied on modern tools."Amelia said, raising her hand to check the time, "It's eight ten. Once we have checked the guests who arrived around this time, we will be able to identify the culprit.""How do I check?" The twins, although mature, are still children after all.Amelia laughed and said, "Infiltrating the surveillance system was easy."However, her handsome fiancé had to return Elijah to her first.With this thought in mind, Amelia had just planned to take a stroll and walk past.Zane said, "Carl, you misunderstood. Abby is someone I grew up with. She just really likes you, but she has never been clingy. What you said in front of so many people was too much."Zane claimed to be Carl's father-in-law, and he had already built the steps. No matter what, the other party had to give him face and let the matter p
They couldn't help it and even tore apart the green tea with their hands!Looking back now, the Cromwell family saw the child that had been brought back, just holding pastries and looking at the scene with thin lips slightly curved.It was really too heavy to hold my breath!She was truly Ruby's daughter!Some people were also puzzled, like Trista. She didn't understand why, even though she knew these truths, she still wanted to speak up for Abby in that moment.She pinched her own hand to suppress the strange feeling.Even Sebastian was somewhat affected, if it weren't for Carl speaking up, he would have almost been entangled by Abby.This has also been puzzling to him, as he clearly knew that he disliked Abby, but whenever he encountered her, he would feel sorry for her, as if she had some serious illness.Sebastian furrowed his brow and planned to turn around and have a good talk with Amelia about this matter.What he didn't know was that someone had already informed Amelia about t
Since Carl had made a move, there was no way he would give her any room to maneuver.Tea or not tea, he didn't care, and it had nothing to do with him.But when it came to someone, he definitely carried the teapot and tea together.Someone just said that the most important thing for a woman is propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor.Carl glanced, and his gaze fell on an inconspicuous wealthy lady in the crowd. "I want to ask Mr. Savigny, why is it that these two individuals openly express their admiration for me without any hesitation? Don't you think there's a problem with that? On the other hand, the person who is engaged to me, why do you criticize and condemn her for the same thing?""And yet, you felt nothing when it came to these two individuals?"Norma Savigny opened her mouth and said, "That's different, Abby has been... for so many years.""It is indeed different," Carl interrupted her softly. "Amelia is my fiancée, as for these two... I have privately rejected them m
Amanda has been influenced by the scent of medicine for a long time, and now she has become a bit delusional. However, she is completely unaware of it and continues to act recklessly.Paula wanted to pull her, "Amanda, are you crazy!"Her daughter could not have been so stupid normally!Didn't you see Carl's actions? He specifically came here to support Amelia!Amanda, on the other hand, seemed to have lost her sanity: "Mom, listen to me, he couldn't possibly fall for a village girl, what did he even talk about with that village girl? He's such a sophisticated person!"Paula wished she could have slapped Amanda again.Amanda's strength was surprisingly strong, and no matter how hard she tried to stop her, she couldn't.Amanda saw others looking at her like she was crazy, and her heart grew cold. She immediately went to Abby and grabbed her hand, saying, "Abby, you know best. We have been watching him all these years. He has rejected you countless times, even. It's impossible for him t
The New York boss, the New York prince, were never fake.Thinking about what he used to do when his body wasn't so bad, he would just uproot the entire Jenkins family if they made him unhappy.They all saw what he was like when dealing with people. Who would dare to cross the line? Isn't that asking for trouble?The chilling momentum made some other bosses quickly say, "Mr. Jenkins, your fiancée, what kind of circles is she involved in? She herself is a circle!"Carl nodded towards the person speaking and said, "Mr. Carter was right. I also wished that my fiancée would not be bothered or manipulated by anyone in the future.""So, I also arrived a little late."Amanda listened to the words in her ears and shook her head continuously, saying, "No, I don't believe it! How could you possibly like her!""She was beautiful and kind, with a pure and simple heart. Why wouldn't I be able to like her?" Carl's eyes were pale.Are people beautiful and kind-hearted?Simple-minded?The crowd looked
The shareholders did indeed start to hesitate, and the business partners were also discussing.Ruby protected Amelia and said confidently, "Amelia is not the kind of person who would do these things, there is a misunderstanding here.""Aunt Ruby, how do you explain Scarface's words then? This video was really filmed!" Amanda shouted, unchanging in her stubbornness.Paula, who originally wanted to pull her along, did not stop her at this moment.Ruby's daughter embarrassing herself was the most enjoyable thing for her.All the pressure came to the Cromwell family at once."Scarface, it was indeed difficult to explain."Most likely, this is the rumor spread by Amelia from the Cromwell family, probably out of fear that Mr. Jenkins would want to break off the engagement again."The Jenkins family must have looked down on someone from a small place, otherwise there wouldn't have been no one coming.""Who said it wasn't, and Scarface has been around for so many years. Only listen to Sir Cro
People did not know who the person in the picture was.The video only captured the marble floor on the ground.The photographer intentionally took it this way.At that moment, everyone's gaze focused on the screen."Mr. Jenkins, who had previously rejected the Cromwell family's proposal, would never actively pursue her.""How did you know it was her spreading the rumors?"The voices of the two girls were clearly processed, making it impossible to tell who they were."I caught the person spreading rumors."One of the girls aimed her phone at the screen.Wearing a long coat and carrying a birdcage, Scarface was talking to someone, saying, "You guys have only seen one side of the Cromwell family's matter, Mr. Jenkins was the one chasing after people.""You see, the way he talks, it's as if he has seen it with his own eyes." The voice in the scene says, "Who doesn't know that he is one of Hamza's people, it is clear who spread this rumor."I was also drunk. Only shameless people would spr
Amelia naturally associated him with Zane, especially since Zane trusted him so much.The Wraith Infant and her sisters all told her that she was not...Amelia got lost in her thoughts.The only voice found in the dream banquet was Paula's.Another question, until now, she has not found the answer.Wasn't it big enough?Amelia pressed her fingertips against the evil-warding coin and calmly looked around in all directions.Zane was still struggling, and Abby stood beside him, looking pitiful, calling out, "Dad, don't be like this.""What problems does she have? Can you tell?" Amelia casually raised her hand and took a glass of wine.The vengeful spirits jumped twice on her shoulder and said, "I didn't see anything else, it's just that people listened to her too much, Master. I know there is a kind of dark magic underground that can influence people's thoughts.""Dark magic?" Amelia said absentmindedly, "Are you referring to what is recorded in the Indian scriptures?"The vengeful spiri
So Zane hated, and of course he could not chase the past again, he also had his dignity!Abby became anxious and said, "Dad, you should go and say something nice to Mom. Mom won't really divorce you.""She wanted to leave, so she left!" Zane tugged at his tie, veins popping on his forehead, and sweat pouring down.Abby couldn't believe that her usually astute father couldn't see through the current situation.The divorce became a settled matter in such a situation.What did she do after today?The information that Ruby had come too late.Otherwise, she wouldn't have made up her mind to divorce Zane today.The smartest thing about this approach was that it put an end to Abby relying on Zane and herself, and constantly seeking the support of the Cromwell family and the Molson family!Even Sebastian was wondering, "Mom, how did you suddenly have a change of heart?"He and his brothers all thought that the divorce, no matter how it was said, would take some time, until their mother really
