“Mr. Cromwell, we’ve found Miss Amelia!”

Edgar’s hands were trembling, his voice filled with excitement.

“This time, it’s real! She’s right in front of me!”

Mr. Cromwell shot up from his chair, his sharp eyes trembling.

“Where are you?!”

“We’re at River County Hospital,” Edgar kept his voice as steady as possible.

“Benjamin is here too. He’s already met Miss Amelia. It’s a long and complicated story, but I’ll explain everything once you arrive.”

Mr. Cromwell gripped his dragon-headed cane tightly, unable to contain the excitement in his eyes.

“Ben has already met Amelia?! How did he even end up in River County? And how did he find her?!”

“To be exact, it was Miss Amelia who saved Benjamin,” Edgar explained briefly.

“The moment he saw her, he felt an immediate connection.”

Edgar hesitated for a second before taking a deep breath.

“Mr. Cromwell, what I’m about to say might be overwhelming for you. Do you want to prepare yourself first?”

Mr. Cromwell was already overjoyed, bursting into

    “Manger Zack, is Grandpa still mad at me?” Abby bit her lip, looking pitiful and fragile.Zack Hoover from the President’s Office smiled. “Mr. Cromwell adores you the most. Give it some time, and he’ll understand your sincerity, Miss Cromwell.”“…Alright.” Abby lowered her gaze in disappointment.As soon as she got into the nanny car outside the office building, her expression darkened.“Aunt Ashford, did you find out where Grandpa went?”“He’s attending a meeting,” Aunt Ashford reassured her.“Miss, don’t worry. Once Mia gives the old master another checkup, he’ll realize she’s just an average village doctor. Then he’ll see that you are the one who truly cares for him.”“…I hope so.” Abby let out a long sigh.“Grandpa is always too strict with me.”All because of some village girl, he embarrassed me like that.She wasn’t even sure why she felt so restless lately.Maybe it was because the usual medicinal scents weren’t as effective anymore.Or maybe it was because the Cromwell family

    "It's all because of you, you jinx! You ruined my life!"Grace had been acting unhinged from the moment Amelia entered.The bodyguard, worried she might become violent, stepped forward. "Dr. Cromwell, be careful—she's unstable.""It's fine. Leave us. I need to ask her something personal," Amelia said with a light smile.The bodyguard hesitated. "Young Master ordered us to ensure your safety—"Amelia's smile deepened. "Your young master is right outside. Don’t worry, I can handle myself. Besides, the poison in her system hasn’t fully cleared yet—I can control her."Only then did the bodyguard step out and close the door.Grace grabbed the iron chains around her wrists and lurched forward, aiming to smash her head against Amelia.Amelia suddenly reached out, fingers wrapping around her throat—her cold, piercing gaze demonic and dangerous."Take a guess—if you die here, will people investigate you, or will they investigate me?"When Amelia said she could control someone, she meant it.Gr

    "At first, Nathan and I wanted to sell you off quickly," Grace admitted, her voice trembling slightly, as if recalling something terrifying."But the thing around your neck was too conspicuous—no buyer dared take you.""Your jade pendant glowed, and there were words engraved on the back."Not 'fortune' or 'wealth'—but the word: Soul."Who would dare take something like that?""I even consulted an old incense reader in the village," Grace shuddered. "He said that the item around your neck came from deep underground—it was filled with ominous energy.""He warned us to get rid of it as soon as possible. And get rid of you too.""If we kept you any longer, the entire village would face destruction.""Nathan and I were too afraid to raise you, so we sold the pendant to Mr. Whitlock, a jade collector in LA."Mr. Whitlock.Hearing this, Amelia propped her chin up with one hand, her voice indifferent."The mountain disaster back then—what really happened?""After we swapped you with the Milto

    Amelia spoke slowly and deliberately, “Who is that person?”“I… I don’t know.”Grace’s eyes darted around nervously, as if terrified of something. “I can’t say. No one can say. It’ll bring divine punishment.”Amelia studied her erratic behavior.She looked almost… possessed.Reaching out, she pressed two fingers to Grace’s wrist, checking her pulse.Chaotic. Unstable. Unnatural.Amelia lifted her chin and carefully examined her pupils.Her gaze turned cold.“Someone has put a curse on you?”Grace suddenly went hysterical, slapping herself across the face.“Talking too much! Talking too much!”Then, she started crying.“Mia, you have to study hard, do you hear me?”“Mom is counting on you.”“If you pass the exams, Mom can move to the big city and live a good life.”She grabbed Amelia’s hand, her voice full of expectation.“Mia, you’ve already promised to buy a house for your brother, right?”“I knew it! You’ve always been the most filial child, so much better than that useless daughter

    Thud!Henry’s phone slipped from his hand and hit the floor.He was completely stunned.Suddenly, all the things he had said to his boss before came flooding back—Especially their first meeting when he had kept calling her “little sister” this and “little sister” that.And how he had even bragged to Jaxon Beam and the others, saying he would “protect” her.Now that he thought about it…That meaningful smile his boss had given him back then—Henry almost knelt on the spot!Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Boss had been by his side all along.He had always thought Boss must be some strategic mastermind, a powerful figure sitting in a skyscraper’s top-floor office, controlling everything from behind the scenes.But in reality…She was even younger than him?!And that face of hers—she didn’t look like a doctor at all! She looked more like an actress!Wait—Wasn’t she also the “fake heiress” that the Remington family had rejected?!Henry’s brain buzzed.He snatched up his p

    After the last exam incident, Sam had stopped actively contacting Mia.But the moment she heard that they had arrived in New York, she immediately arranged their hotel, carefully planned their itinerary, and made every effort to accommodate them.Faced with such thoughtful kindness, Sam found it hard to refuse."Don’t worry," he reassured her. "Grandpa isn’t that old-fashioned."Dr. Hart, however, wasn’t so easily impressed.He didn’t bother himself with the complicated social entanglements of young people, but from the fact that Mia had been back for so long and never once visited Milton, he already had a bad impression of her.Still, since she had come in person, he wouldn’t rudely turn her away. Maintaining his usual politeness, he nodded and greeted her,"Sam."Sam stepped forward. "Grandpa, Mia came to see you."Dr. Hart nodded again and gave Mia a polite but distant smile."Mia, I have a meeting today. I’m quite busy."Then, turning to his good-for-nothing grandson, he instructe

    Edgar still felt a little dazed.He had searched for her for so long, even asking his second sister to help inquire about Miss Amelia’s whereabouts.Now, thinking back—What an awkward situation.Amelia, however, seemed completely unchanged.Seeing him, she simply greeted,"Big Brother."Edgar choked on air and started coughing violently.There was no way he could accept that title now!Amelia raised an eyebrow at his reaction.Edgar took a deep breath to steady himself, then said, somewhat unnaturally and respectfully,"Could… could we speak in private?"Amelia smiled lazily."I have a pretty good idea of what you want to say. Are you in a hurry?""If not, I’d like to go have hot pot with your so-called distant relative Young Master first."Performing surgery burned a lot of energy.The only thing she had eaten all day was a bowl of instant noodles laced with medicine.Now, she was genuinely starving.Besides, she needed some time to think through her situation.Edgar instinctively w

    Perhaps it was because of his elegant and ascetic aura, but whatever Carl wore seemed to suit him perfectly.Amelia couldn’t help but glance at his wrist twice.Then, suddenly, she asked,"What’s the Cromwell family’s attitude toward this Miss Amelia?"Carl gave a faint smile as he placed a slice of lamb into her bowl."Mr. Cromwell has been searching—both openly and secretly—for many years."Then, he glanced at her curiously."Why are you suddenly interested in this?"Amelia responded absentmindedly,"Just trying to clarify some doctor-patient relationships. After all, you two are distant relatives."Carl’s hand, still holding the bamboo chopsticks, paused briefly.His voice was deep and pleasant."Actually, our ancestors knew each other. We’re not distant relatives. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been an engagement in the first place."At his words, Amelia suddenly remembered this detail.Her gaze flickered toward him, feeling somewhat strange.Sensing her reaction, Carl immediately

    Elijah gestured: He’s not bad!“Being praised by you is never a good thing,” Amelia said lazily.Now that the person had been saved, she had no reason to linger. She glanced at Scarface. “Second Uncle, shall we go for a stroll outside?”“Sure, let’s go.”As they were leaving, Scarface didn’t forget to warn Master Dawnshade. “Anything goes when making money in the vintage shop, but if you dare to harm people, be prepared to face the law.”Master Dawnshade chuckled lightly. “Mr. Lott, I only guide those who are fated. It seems that from now on, fate no longer binds us.”“Master Dawnshade.” Amelia toyed with a purple jade pendant and suddenly looked up. “You’re talking about fate with my second uncle? Then let me ask you, do you follow Daoism or Buddhism?”“Buddhism? That doesn’t seem right. After all, you are deeply entangled in worldly affairs, far from the purity of Buddhist practice.”“Then is it Daoism? But Daoist teachings focus on self-cultivation, not guiding others. There’s no n

    Master Dawnshade looked at Scarface. “Hey, you’re a veteran in the antique trade. Divination, character interpretation, and object selection all rely on trust. If you don’t believe, then please, feel free to go ahead.”Scarface had already seen through Master Dawnshade. He chuckled carelessly. “Don’t try to pressure me with industry rules. Divination is about mutual consent. Especially in the vintage shop—if both the buyer and seller agree, no one else has a say. Mr. Fisher hasn’t even complained about the price yet, Master Dawnshade, why are you in such a hurry?”“If this deal goes through for my niece, I’ll give you a ten percent cut. After all, the transaction is happening in your place.”That was reasonable.That’s how things worked in the vintage shop.Of course, Rowan was happy to proceed. He picked up a brush and casually wrote a character.The young attendant was fuming but had no choice.Master Dawnshade, however, glanced at the character and surprisingly agreed to let Amelia

    Spencer’s expression turned cold. "You’re mistaken. Not all people in New York know each other.""Bro!" Rowan nudged him. "You just focus on getting your fortune read. Don't get involved in my business."Spencer’s voice was icy. "So, you’re just going to make friends with some commoner?"Scarface, though wary of escalating the conflict, knew exactly where he stood. "By that logic, I, Scarface, shouldn't be here either, huh? Since the Fisher family is so high and mighty."The current position of the Fisher family patriarch meant that they had to avoid drawing too much attention.Spencer understood this. Hearing Scarface's words, he clenched his fist in frustration but softened his tone. "Grandpa Oak, you misunderstand. We’re all the same. I never saw you as an outsider."That was a concession.Scarface let it go at that. "Then I’ll take that as a misunderstanding. You two young masters carry on. I’ll take my niece to look around.""Wait." Amelia’s gaze landed on Rowan’s waist, and she

    "He is indeed very good-looking," Amelia said casually, about to leave.On the other side, Spencer, who was about to have his fortune told through calligraphy, glanced over and slightly narrowed his eyes. "Miss, you should be more polite when you speak. This is New York."Amelia chuckled. "Is this gentleman trying to teach me how to behave?"Spencer looked at her. She was undeniably beautiful, but what kind of attitude was this?Did Scarface never teach her the unspoken rules of the New York elite?"Scarface, handle this as you see fit," Spencer said indifferently. He couldn't be bothered with this any further. In his eyes, she was just an outsider.His younger brother had only looked at her a few times, yet she was putting on airs.Hah, the disdain on Spencer's face was obvious.Rowan, on the other hand, realized he had gone too far. "Ah, my bad, my bad, Miss. I was just joking. I didn't expect you and your fiancé to be so close. You're a pure love warrior, huh?"Amelia could tell th

    Scarface was floored!She had done it on purpose—deliberately leading the conversation toward academics to expose that Master Dawnshade couldn’t predict a thing!He had spent no less than a million at Master Dawnshade’s place over the past year.How did it come to this?!Scarface forced himself to stay calm.Master Dawnshade was still looking at him. "Sir Jonathan?"Sir Jonathan, my ass! Scarface’s eyes widened fiercely. "Not buying!"The elder's expression stiffened—he clearly hadn’t expected this outcome.Just then, laughter sounded behind Scarface."Grandpa Oak, you’re really turning your back now? Not even giving Master Dawnshade some face?"The group strolled in, dressed in the latest fashion, all wearing high-end brands.Each had a distinct style—some with dyed hair, others with striking good looks—but they all had one thing in common: their privileged backgrounds.Elijah found this quite intriguing—he was always sharp when it came to money.He glanced at Amelia, as if asking,

    Curse Others, Curse Yourself?!Scarface gasped sharply.Better not stay in the capital?!Could Master Dawnshade have foreseen that the person he brought was actually the seventh young lady the Cromwell family just reclaimed?Scarface opened his mouth, about to speak, but Amelia beat him to it:"Master, may I ask if there is a way to resolve this?""It is very difficult to resolve." The elderly man looked compassionate. "Some suffering is beyond your control. You lacked love since childhood, rarely understood by others, leading to resentment."Amelia spun the teacup in her fingers, her smile faint. "Resentment?""Yes," the old man looked at her. "Your suffering stems from resentment—you are unaware of it yet unable to break free. You wonder why others have what you lack."Elijah, listening at the side, was growing impatient, his tiger-like eyes narrowing dangerously.Yet Amelia merely sighed lazily, her tone indifferent:"Someone read my fortune before. He told me that my blessings are

    Scarface initially wanted to dismiss her as someone from a "small place" with limited knowledge.But seeing her composed and confident demeanor, he couldn’t help but second-guess himself.Regardless of what others thought, if Mr.Cromwell acknowledged her, then she was legitimate—end of story.Scarface reassured himself with this thought.Amelia remained as poised as ever, her refined presence standing out, but she showed no interest in discussing Mr. Cromwell."We’re here." Scarface lifted his heels slightly to get a better look. "As expected, there's a queue."The crowd was sizable. The line of appointments stretched from inside the store all the way out onto the street.The storefront had a traditional aesthetic, filled with an array of antique treasures.A man walked out holding a slip of paper, beaming with joy. "The master said that if I follow this prescription, I’m guaranteed to have a son!""The master even knew you were trying for a child?!" someone nearby exclaimed in amazem

    "Miss Amelia, first time here?"The man was talkative, speaking in a pure New York accent."You can call me Scarface."As soon as he finished speaking, someone from a nearby stall called out, "Sir Jonathan, you're here! I’ve got some good stuff today!""I’ll take a look later." Scarface nodded, exuding an air of authority."Alright! I’ll keep it reserved for you!"Amelia’s smile was subtle. "Sir Jonathan?"Scarface fanned himself leisurely. "It’s just a name folks in the trade gave me out of respect. You know, I go by Scarface."Then, he turned back to business. "Mr. Cromwell mentioned that Miss Amelia is looking for some mountain stones and special artifacts? Any specific requirements for quality?""Not really." Amelia replied while shifting her gaze to Elijah.Elijah seemed right at home in the vintage shop, his sharp eyes scanning the stalls before slightly pursing his lips.Amelia brought him here as her personal scanner. His eyes could help her locate valuable items with remarkab

    Amelia had a lot on her mind—things she needed to sort through.She wanted to clarify everything before telling him.But Carl was sharp and always caught onto the key points. “You think I’ll be in danger on the highway?”“Yes.” Amelia met his gaze directly.Carl looked into her eyes and laughed softly. “I’ll listen to everything you say.”That made Amelia’s expression shift slightly. “Then be careful of the people around you.”“Understood.” Carl tucked her long hair behind her ear. “Do you need my help with the Cromwell family? After all, I’ve lived in New York longer than you and know more than you do.”Amelia didn’t hesitate. “I do need you to set up a meeting with a designer.”“Who?” Carl asked.Amelia handed him a business card. “A foreign designer—Kogawa Takeda.”Carl’s expression darkened. “Another Kogawa family member?”“You know him? That makes things easier.” Amelia spoke casually. “He designed the Cromwell family’s old residence. I think he did a good job, so I want to ask a
