Amelia casually placed her black bag down and raised an eyebrow at Elijah. Elijah gestured toward Carl, signaling that he was to blame. Carl glanced at the fish tank and chuckled, "With Elijah’s special abilities, we might have to cancel our visit to the aquarium tomorrow."

Amelia noticed the koi fish foaming in the tank and realized Elijah’s secret was out. She popped a fruit candy into her mouth and smiled, "Shall we talk downstairs?"

Victoria, peeling an apple, asked, "Why can’t you talk here?"

"It’s a the Cromwell family matter, and he knows more about it. It involves privacy," Amelia explained.

Hearing this, Victoria didn’t press further.

Carl straightened up, walked closer to Amelia, and said naturally, "Alright, let’s also talk about meeting the parents."

Meeting the parents?

Elijah’s head shot up in shock, and Amelia momentarily froze mid-bite. Only Victoria chuckled, "Carl is quite thoughtful, but there’s no rush. You two haven’t been together for long."

"Grandma, I’m in a bi

    Carl cut her steak into small pieces and pushed the plate toward her. "She wanted to marry into the Jenkins family, but I rejected her."Amelia: …"You should’ve said so earlier, just in case I misunderstood." Carl’s handsome eyes reflected a hint of helplessness. "You really don’t care about me at all, huh? Even when it comes to scandalous rumors."Amelia took a bite of steak. "It just hadn’t reached my ears yet. But now that I know—I suggest you stay away from her.""Alright." Carl’s eyes softened with amusement—was she jealous?Amelia wasn’t overthinking it. "Her perfume is strange. It’s bad for your health.""Just because of that?" Carl’s voice dropped a notch.The saxophone played softly in the background, making Amelia lean in. "What?""Nothing. Do you suspect she’s a threat to the Cromwell family?" Carl’s smile was gentle but shrewd. "Did you discover something during your visit?"Amelia often found that this man was too perceptive. She would say one thing, and he’d instantly d

    "In my honor." Carl’s smile deepened, his gold-rimmed glasses making him look all the more refined yet cunning.The bodyguards of the Jenkins family’s main residence had never seen their young master behave like this. Their thoughts were running wild.This young doctor is really something, they thought. She dared to tease their young master? At social events, women struggled to even approach him, let alone flirt. But Amelia... her tone, her posture—so natural, as if their young master had already been recruited under her command."If that's the case, then you're mine now," Amelia said, her voice firm once she made up her mind. She was possessive like that.Carl twirled a strand of her hair around his fingers. "Alright, I'm yours."Amelia let out a yawn, showing clear signs of exhaustion. "I still haven't figured out what that sponsored student’s scent means. I need Elijah to meet her again," she muttered, her eyes half-closed.Carl gently rubbed her head. "Sleepy?" he asked, his tone

    Carl raised an eyebrow but didn’t avoid the call. He pressed ‘accept.’A nervous voice immediately came through. "Boss, we’re still negotiating on the profit margins. Right now, we’re at ten percent, but I know that’s unacceptable to you. Smith’s side—"The voice was loud enough that Amelia’s sleepy eyes opened slightly in curiosity.Carl turned her face away. "Don’t move, the dryer’s hot.""You take the call, I’ll dry my own hair," she suggested, feeling the situation was a bit inappropriate.Carl chuckled softly. Then, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, he said to the phone, "I’m drying my fiancée’s hair. Report back in a minute."Edward: "...""Understood, Boss! Take your time!"Why did he call now?!The official meeting wasn’t for another five minutes!Amelia wasn’t about to let him delay the meeting. It was ridiculous.But Carl moved faster. He caught her wrist, his deep voice coaxing, "It’s not the official meeting yet. Just let me finish drying your hair."Amelia

    Carl’s body stiffened.His gaze locked onto her, his dark eyes unfathomable.He leaned in, so close that the tip of his nose almost brushed against hers.The sensation in his palm made his Adam’s apple bob unconsciously.The autumn wind howled outside the capital, but inside the room, it was eerily quiet.She frowned slightly—perhaps she disliked the coolness of the prayer beads around his wrist.Carl watched her, his side profile exuding a dangerous allure.Refined, striking, and utterly unreadable.So different from his usual self.He lowered himself further, his fingers tracing her face as he murmured in a deep voice, “You really have no sense of danger.”Not even he could predict what he might do next.And yet, she slept soundly, unconcerned.His eyes roved over her delicate features before his lips inched closer.The hand resting beside him clenched slightly, as if restraining himself.Deep in his gaze, a faint red glimmer flickered.As his breath hitched, the prayer beads on his

    She had never cared about the engagement.And it seemed he hadn’t been too keen on it either.So, she let her grandfather call it off.Later, when people compared her to the adopted daughter of the Cromwell family, he had only said one thing:“The Jenkins family values blood ties. The one engaged to me was Miss.Cromwell—not that I didn’t want her, but rather, she didn’t want me. Cough, cough. You all should find something less ridiculous to talk about.”By then, his coughing had worsened.Yet, in a world where everyone resented her, he had still spoken up for her.But that was all in the past. By then, her grandfather had passed away.Her life had become chaotic.She had wanted to see him, to ask how he was doing.Who would’ve thought he’d end up in a car accident?A man like him—how could he have been in a car accident?Amelia's eyes snapped open.She lifted a hand, shielding herself from the sunlight streaming in.For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was still dreaming or alr

    “I used to love watching idol dramas. I learned it from there,” Amelia lied naturally and steadily. “Go open the door for Elijah. If you don’t, he’ll come in and start questioning me nonstop.”Carl brushed his fingers through her hair and indeed stood up.But as for her words—he didn’t believe a single one.When the door opened—Elijah’s fair face was full of caution.He was afraid that his boss had lost his mind, being blinded by a pretty face and causing unnecessary trouble.The black mist surrounding the man was even denser now—was his prayer bead bracelet losing its effect?Elijah’s gaze lowered to the man’s wrist.Carl raised an eyebrow. “You came alone?”Elijah gestured, pointing downstairs.Carl understood immediately. “Grandma is having breakfast downstairs, and she sent you up to call us?”Elijah nodded vigorously.Carl chuckled. “You picked the wrong time to come up today. No money for you.”Elijah: … What kind of logic is that!?Carl brought him inside, making sure to set s

    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

    "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

    After saying this, Morgan took the lead and went upstairs.The others followed in succession.Susanna, from start to finish, dared not look toward the delivery room. Her face was pale, as if she might collapse at any moment.Downstairs, only the Cromwell siblings remained.Amelia’s eyes settled on Susanna's shoulders, her brow furrowing.The connection ran too deep. Simply relying on exorcism might not be enough.She wasn’t sure if the production team had noticed that the storyline was no longer following the original script.The changes were subtle; the director overseeing the filming hadn’t paid much attention.Besides, for a successful variety show, unexpected twists are what make it more captivating.Amelia glanced at the camera, confirming that the equipment was still functioning properly.She couldn’t promote superstitions on national television.Any supernatural phenomena would surely draw too much attention.Amelia pulled her gaze back and refocused on the far end of the corri

    It happened in an instant!Morgan was fuming with rage. "What did you say?!"Amelia spoke slowly, her tone casual but sharp: "There’s still a camera here. Keep your image intact, Big Star Morgan."Morgan’s face twisted with fury, his features contorting in anger.Killian stepped forward. "Do you even understand basic manners? Is this how a 'study slacker' behaves?"Amelia’s eyes darkened, her voice low: "As a public figure, your job is to set an example and guide your fans with the right values. But what are you doing? Inciting your fans to attack others online?""Maybe you should spend more time polishing your acting skills—those 'eye-searing' performances of yours.""You’re good at pushing others down, but when it comes to being on screen, your acting is just awful.""Your fans might blindly praise you, but do you believe it?"Amelia’s words were calm, almost as if she was just stating facts. "You're so plain-looking, yet you got the lead role as soon as you debuted. Must have some

    To maintain the authenticity of the show, the accompanying PDs withdrew from the scene.There were cameras in every corner of the hospital, so they couldn’t escape observation.The hospital wasn’t big—just two floors—but the corridors were deep and dark.With so many people around earlier, it hadn’t felt eerie. But now that the PDs were gone, the cold, abandoned air rushed in, making the atmosphere tense.It was clear that, apart from Amelia, the other girls were nervous.Especially Susanna, who instinctively touched her stomach as she looked toward the delivery room.Viewers at home were confused:"Why is LuLu touching her stomach?"Suddenly, the sign above the delivery room door tilted and fell with a loud crash.The noise shocked everyone!Morgan, too, jolted, but he also realized this was his chance to act."This hospital looks old, so things may fall off the walls. Everyone be careful; we don’t need to go there," he said, walking ahead with apparent concern. "Where there are ligh

    Sebastian’s sudden comment left the director and the production team completely stunned.Not to mention the live viewers:"What does that mean???""I’m dying laughing! Kina, what are you doing?"Other guests also turned to look in their direction.Just when everyone thought his words were out of character for him, Amelia actually found it fitting. This was exactly the kind of Cromwell the sixth her grandfather always described."Brother, we can check the hint now," Amelia said, her tone action-oriented. She had a straightforward approach: finish the recording quickly, resolve the tension, and move on.The female star beside her would not survive the night if things continued this way.Of course, Amelia had no intention of acknowledging any familial ties in front of the public. She’d discuss it with Sixth Brother later, after everything was settled.To her surprise, Sebastian furrowed his brow. "You call me 'bro' so naturally. I already have a little sister, so change your way of addre

    He absolutely could NOT lose face!The more someone craves screen time, the deeper their thoughts run.Compared to him, Morgan and Killian’s performances were relatively bland.“Are you all sure about your team members?”The director’s voice rang out again.This time, in addition to the celebrity guests, all five passersby answered in unison, “Yes.”As the words fell, the curtains blocking the passersby were drawn away.Amelia lifted her eyelids, revealing her beautiful face, but her expression was always casual and nonchalant.She could hear the celebrities’ discussions.And she had already seen the passersby.She had entered because she felt the overwhelming resentment swirling overhead.If the resentment continued to fester, it would turn into a massive disaster.She hadn’t expected that there would be tasks involved as well.When the passersby from number 1 to 5 appeared on camera, not only did the audience feel stunned, but even the celebrities on set paused.Because Amelia’s app

    The third passerby was a middle-aged man with glasses, looking quite ordinary in terms of appearance and height, but his experience stood out. According to the profile, he was a surgeon.[Right now, 2nd and 3rd passersby are the best choices!]Next, the profile of the fourth passerby appeared—Carrie, majoring in media.But the key part was the extra line: “If Kina picks me, I can help you win!”Her bold statement immediately drew the attention of Sebastian.Killian commented with subtle sarcasm, "Sebastian’s fans are really enthusiastic. Most people can’t even make it to the show’s recording."With these words, everyone started to feel like the production team was favoring Sebastian.The trolls in the chat started to rise:"An idol with no academic qualifications should stay away from variety shows. It's already unfair, but soon enough, they’ll expose their low IQ. That’s going to be fun!"The tension was quickly building.Then the fifth passerby’s profile popped up, and it was like t

    "Mutual selection of passerby! It’s finally here!"The passersby selected for the show were randomly chosen by the system, but the production team would still screen them carefully.After all, Ultimate Survival had complex storylines for each location, often based on real events but modified for the show. Accurately recreating these stories was difficult and required some specialized knowledge.This time, the filming location was the abandoned children’s hospital.The team would definitely need medical professionals in the mix.The live chat exploded with guesses about who the passersby would be."Teachers, there are five passersby in front of you. Only through mutual selection can you pair up successfully. On the big screen, you’ll see their profiles. Two of them are medical professionals, while the other three have different specialties. You can choose based on your experience and preferences."The director’s voice echoed as the guests’ expressions varied.Especially for Morgan, who

    In the show, each celebrity was assigned a different position.They all wore blindfolds, and only upon arriving at the location would they remove them one by one.The selected passersby, however, were brought in by the staff and had the chance to see the full view of the venue.Carrie stood before the scene, her eyes shaking wildly.As Mia had said, the location for this episode was indeed an abandoned children’s hospital!Although she was from New York, she had never known about such a hospital in the nearby suburbs!The hospital looked worn down, suggesting it had been abandoned for years, with grass growing all around the outside.The show was filmed in real locations, and the production team had spent a lot of money to recreate the layout from the time.But the exterior hadn’t been renovated, so it looked especially aged.Among the celebrity guests, actress Vivienne was the first to arrive. She took off her blindfold and joked, "Is the production team trying to get new guests to q

    With a soft click, Amelia took off her helmet and noticed the cameras overhead. She raised an eyebrow.Elijah hadn’t mentioned that there was a filming crew nearby.He was still excited on the other side of the wall.Amelia, considering whether to ask the staff for more information, noticed the camera’s focus.In the shot, the director and the viewers could see the girl with long legs leaning on her motorcycle, one hand on the handlebar, the other typing a message.It seemed she hadn’t received a reply.Her slender, graceful fingers tapped the handlebar in slow rhythm, and her cool demeanor was simply mesmerizing.The camera panned over, and it was impossible to look away.Her face was flawless, ethereal yet not overly seductive, with deep eyes and a beauty mark just below her eye.When she looked up, the comments exploded."One minute, I need to know everything about this girl!""Which agency is this new girl from? I’ve never seen her before!""I just searched her up, and nothing cam
