Mr. Crawford’s grip on the phone tightened gradually.On the other end, a voice lowered in tone as they reported, “Dad, the River County project is dead. This time, the highest-level task force made the arrests, and the Jenkins family got involved. There’s no way to salvage it—we had to cut our losses. If we try to interfere again, we risk exposure.”“The Jenkins family?” Mr. Crawford narrowed his eyes. “Since when did they meddle in such affairs?”“Dad, could it be that the Rodriguez family has already allied with the Jenkins family?”Mr. Crawford seemed to be lost in thought. “No, the Jenkins family never forms alliances.”“Garrett’s path has been far too smooth… and that foster daughter of the Milton family is really a nuisance!” The person on the phone was practically gritting their teeth at the mention of Amelia.Mr. Crawford’s eyes turned ice-cold. “She’s involved in this too?”“If it weren’t for her livestream, the River County scandal wouldn’t have blown up nationwide. Now, th
When Mr. Cromwell saw the train ticket, he realized he still had another hour to enjoy his tea before departure.Instantly delighted, he pulled Victoria into more conversation.Meanwhile, Amelia went inside to prepare a batch of medicinal herbs. Before they left, she specifically instructed Edgar, “Big Brother, I asked Secretary Frank before—no one has tampered with the prescription, but Grandpa’s lungs still have some abnormal sounds. When you return, keep an eye on his diet and stick strictly to the meal plan. Control everything else. Once I arrive in New York, I’ll give him a follow-up checkup.”In just these two days, Mr. Cromwell had visibly improved.When they first arrived, he had been coughing, but now, as he returned to New York, his complexion was rosy.Amelia even prepared a medicinal sachet for him to carry.Originally, Mr. Cromwell had intended to get some work done on the high-speed train, but the sachet had a calming effect, and the business class seat was just too comf
"I didn’t know the person the Cromwell family found would be her back then," Carl’s voice was calm.Old Mr. Jenkins didn’t tease his grandson for too long—after all, he was beyond satisfied with his future granddaughter-in-law. “Then you better put in the effort! If you don’t know how to woo someone, read some romance novels and get inspired!”Read novels?Carl had no intention of doing something so mindless.However, when he opened his phone and saw that a certain someone hadn’t replied to any of his messages, he casually scrolled and clicked on a trending romance novel that was wildly popular among girls.After all, the comments were filled with praise for the male lead, calling him “the husband of their dreams.”Carl could casually negotiate billion-dollar deals, but reading a romance novel…? He frowned the entire time.Meanwhile, Amelia had no idea that her beautiful patient was venturing down a completely different path.The next morning, their house was suddenly filled with a hu
Director Noah didn’t bother with what the other officials thought. He had completed the task assigned by Steven and was quite pleased. “Amelia the Little Miracle Doctor, the leaders all miss you. They always watch your livestreams but don’t dare to use their main accounts.”“I’ll visit the grandparents in my neighborhood before I leave.” Amelia walked as she spoke.Director Noah’s eyes widened. “Before you leave? Amelia the Little Miracle Doctor, you’re leaving?!”What was he supposed to do then?! He had no control over the senior officials!“I found my family. They’re in New York.” Amelia smiled faintly. “Director Noah, don’t worry, I’ll explain everything to the grandparents.”Director Noah still seemed a bit lost, mumbling to himself, “Steven is also being transferred back to New York. He’s leaving soon, and now you’re leaving too. Sigh…”Steven was being transferred back to New York?A transfer order even after retirement?It seemed like he was even more influential than she had t
William had previously seen Garrett take office, so he recognized him immediately and greeted him excitedly, "Leader, hello!"Garrett suppressed his anger and looked at him. "And you are?""William from the Remington family, a prominent medical family in LA," William responded with a flattering smile. "We've met before when you visited my father."The director, Alan, standing beside Garrett, chimed in to support William, "Mr.Rodriguez, the Remington family played a key role in finding the missing children this time...""You know him?" Garrett interrupted.Alan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes, the Remington family is a reputable enterprise in LA. Their medical technology is among the best in the country.""Oh?" Garrett’s expression remained unreadable. "Is this the same Remington family that was once close to the Adler family?"As soon as he said this, not only did Alan’s expression change, but everyone in the room seemed to shift uncomfortably."Leader, our family..." Will
The director of the medical department, Alan, was sweating profusely. Without hesitation, he ordered the Remington family members to move. "You all sit in the back!""In the back?" William protested. "But I’m supposed to go on stage to receive an award!"Garrett's gaze turned even colder as he looked at Michael. "You did a great job arranging this, Michael."Michael’s face turned pale. Abandoning all pretense, he grabbed William by the arm. "You? Who do you think you are? That award belongs to Dr. Cromwell!"William stood in shock.Even Daniel knew that saying anything now would be digging their own grave. He simply forced a smile at Garrett, hoping to smooth things over.The entire Remington family, who had been seated in the front row, was now pushed into a remote corner.William, however, was publicly expelled from the hall.Staring at Michael, he asked in disbelief, "But, Uncle, didn’t you say I would be the one on stage?""Don't call me Uncle!" Michael snapped, shaking him off.W
Without the backing of the Crawford family, Garrett would be totally lost in LA. He wouldn't even be able to take a single step, let alone talk about running the place. Mia felt a sense of satisfaction. She couldn't tell whether that person was lucky or unlucky—always befriending people who were doomed to fail. It was like they had a knack for picking the wrong allies."Brother William, don't worry," Mia said confidently, her voice steady and reassuring. "With the Remington family's long-standing reputation, there's no need to cling to a short-sighted leader."William was startled by her words and quickly covered his phone. "Mia, you're really bold," he said, his voice tinged with a mix of surprise and admiration."What's there to be afraid of?" Mia laughed, her eyes sparkling with confidence. "Brother William, you should know that I've made my way into the elite circles of New York. People rise, and people fall. It's just the way things are." She paused for a moment, her eyes gleamin
Her microphone picked up every word, making them clearly audible throughout the conference hall.Everyone present was deeply moved, especially the parents who had lost their children.Amelia wasn’t used to handling such emotional gratitude, so she simply patted Zoey on the shoulder gently and spoke softly, "Keep going. If you ever need anything, just call me."Only those who had lost children understood what this case truly meant.The young girl standing in the center of the stage, despite wearing a mask, radiated an unshakable sense of hope.There were still children missing, but now, parents believed that one day, they would all come home.The trial against the human traffickers was severe.With the case in the public eye, no one dared to shield the perpetrators.In River County, severe sentences were handed down, bringing immense satisfaction to the public.The final part of the event was the award ceremony.As one of the visiting dignitaries, Luke, along with two other officials,
The golden Buddha’s light shone down, making the two small figures feel as if they were falling into a sea of fire. Instinctively, they raised their hands to shield their faces.But before they could react, someone was faster—grabbing Road Person No. 1 and ruthlessly yanking off the jade pendant!“You truly never repent.” Amelia clenched his throat, her dark eyes fathomless and chilling.Road Person No. 1’s face turned blue, his feet dangling in the air. He was on the verge of suffocation.He knew—she genuinely wanted to kill him.Panic-stricken, he choked out a desperate plea, “I… I was wrong… I…”“Too late.” The moment Amelia uttered those two words, the corridor’s malevolent energy thickened.Suddenly, a crisp and childlike voice called out, “Big Sister, let it go.”Amelia loosened her grip slightly and looked down.A tiny figure clutched at the hem of her clothes. “If you kill him, you’ll go to jail. We don’t want you to go to jail.”The slightly taller child nodded. “Big Sister,
Amelia withdrew the warding charm and the purple aura swirled in her palm:"Some parents only want sons, not daughters, so they can discard and sell their daughters anytime. Some fathers, after cheating, will push their children off a building just because the mistress says, 'Unless those two burdens are dead, I won't be with you.'" "If the Heavenly Zen truly exists, it should open its eyes and see this." "Stop talking about human principles." "They only want justice, not to be called evil spirits." "Master, who do you think is truly evil?"Master Cloudwalker, his hair as white as snow, paused and seemed to be contemplating, as if the vastness of Zenism was weighing on him.There were those who had once opened the gates of heaven with a single strike, and there were those who gained enlightenment in a single night.He didn’t go downstairs, instead sitting on the spot. His silence was an answer to Amelia.At the same time.Person #1 had opened his eyes. He saw two tiny figures approach
"Fortune."Amelia spoke as she supported herself against the staircase railing behind him. A kiss landed on his lips.The two of them were perfectly matched in height, their faces beautiful in different ways: his cold and abstinent, hers seductive and wild, together exuding an intoxicating aura.The guy who had been chasing after them to catch people, widened his eyes in shock!Was this how the favored ones of Heaven used their luck?The guy exclaimed: "Master!""What are you shouting for? Protect Carl."Master Cloudwalker was so absorbed in his thoughts of breaking the formation that he barely noticed the disturbance. "Don’t let the evil spirits near him."He shouted, "Does kissing count?"Kissing?Master Cloudwalker, who had finally found Malina, was about to cast a spell when he heard the shout.For a moment, he even doubted himself.Had he made a mistake?Could the real evil spirit be downstairs?Otherwise, who would dare kiss the young master of the Jenkins family?!While Master
This made Person #1, freeze. His grip loosened.Only then did Carl’s gaze shift over. His face, handsome and noble, didn’t match the chaotic scene at all."The killer is so vicious. How did you manage to escape?"The little Zen thought for a moment and agreed. "The formation hasn’t been broken, how could you come and go freely inside it?"Could he be another one of Heaven’s favored ones?!These Heaven’s favored ones seemed to come in bulk and didn’t even care about money!The little Zen, who hadn’t experienced much of the secular world, immediately shouted: "Master!"Master Cloudwalker didn’t have time to deal with his disciple. His feet moved quickly as he rushed to the second floor, towards the most vengeful and dangerous aura.Seeing this, Ted thought of making his escape, but the person who looked like a noble young master blocked his path, elegant and refined."Which room on the second floor has the criminal? Can you show us the way?""There’s a killer in there!"Was this person
On the second floor of the hospital, in a dim room,Person #3 seemed to enjoy the attention. He tilted his head and looked at the camera with a manic expression."I heard this show is really popular.""Then, there must be a lot of people watching, right?""Let me go, or these so-called high-and-mighty stars will accompany me in death. I won’t be bored!"Morgan couldn’t handle it any longer. He stared desperately at Sebastian, hoping he could save him.But to his surprise, Amelia stepped forward, blocking his view of Sebastian. It was as if she didn’t care about Morgan at all. Instead, she glanced at Person #3 and said, "It seems like you’re not the one the twins are looking for."Person #3 didn’t expect such calmness while he was threatening with a knife."You, new actor, your acting isn’t bad."Person #3 sneered coldly. "Stop talking about the twins. I don’t have much patience. Whoever you are, go contact the program team, or…"Before he could finish,Amelia moved in a flash, her han
Morgan didn’t dare to resist at all.Person #3 truly looked down on him. He raised a knife and pointed it at Sebastian."Want to save someone? Then tell the production team to stop playing these games. I don’t care how you perform, the police are already outside. Do you think I’m blind? You think by creating a ghost story you can trick the police into capturing me?""Dream on." Person #3 dragged Morgan and walked into the camera frame."I’ll say my demands only once. Don’t come in.""From now on, if anyone comes within a step of this room, I’ll kill one hostage!"Outside, the production team was in chaos.Director Jordan, seeing Carl had already entered the building, shouted:"Who brought this person in?!""I, I…" An intern, adjusting his glasses, stammered: "His resume clearly said he was a doctor. I saw he could perform surgeries. I thought…"The action team had already assembled and was in position."Attention, the criminal has a knife. Repeat, the criminal has a knife. Be careful
At this moment in the hospital, Malina seemed to sense something and suddenly lifted her head!"Sister, someone’s coming!"Malina’s face changed drastically, and she glared at Amelia viciously. “There’s divine fortune in the sky! It’s the person you called!”"You lied to us!" Malina was starting to lose control. "Even you lied to us!"Malina tried to reach out to strangle Amelia, but when her hand touched Amelia’s neck, she paused.Amelia didn’t dodge; she simply stood there, her voice calm. “If you really can’t remember what they look like, it’s either Person #1 or Person #3. You choose.”"What?" Malina stopped short.Amelia’s gaze was deep. “I told you earlier, I’ll teach you how to play the adults’ game. The person can’t be one of the celebrity guests, so it’s simple: they’re a background guest.”“Looking at their faces, Person #3 looks more menacing.” Amelia calmly analyzed. “The middle-aged man also fits the fatherly role. I wasn’t sure earlier, but now that someone’s here, if yo
[I want to know too!][Program team! Let them take revenge! Otherwise, I’ll quit watching this show!]How could they not be ruthless?I came to this world full of hope,But I didn’t expect it to be hell.A long time ago, a left-behind girl wrote:"Life is beautiful, but I don’t want to come back."In an instant, the topic of “extreme survival” dominated the trending list!Associated with it were terms like “favoring sons over daughters,” “admitting that your parents don’t love you is the first step toward self-rescue,” and so on!The program team was anxious; they wanted to control the direction of the story!But they had no way of doing it.If they claimed they were trapped in a ghostly maze, would the audience believe them?"It’s not about believing or not! The whole program will be shut down!"The director of the set tried to get the screenwriters to come to their senses.“Think quickly about how to save the guests!”“There’s still a criminal inside!”As the program team was in a p
Malina shook, as if something had triggered her memory. Her eyes were unfocused.Amelia’s voice continued: "Because of the many inconsistencies, some speculate that after the couple had a son, they felt that raising two daughters was a burden.""Of course, this hasn’t been confirmed. After the incident, the couple hurriedly moved with their son to another city.""Their reason was that they were worried about media interference.""Strangely, the father refused an autopsy, and the mother avoided the topic altogether. Not a single detail was out of place, but they did receive a large compensation from the manufacturer.""The manufacturer even conducted an experiment, and it showed that it was impossible for two such large children to fall into a washing machine at the same time. What really happened, I think you should remember now."As Amelia spoke,Malina trembled all over.Such a huge amount of resentment couldn’t have been caused by a typical murder case.Amelia never believed in coi
