Barret clearly didn't take Master Dawnshade seriously. He stood up, crushed the peachwood beads on the floor, and sneered, "People like you only help the wicked do evil. Let me tell you, you can’t save him. I will make sure he comes down to keep me company!"

The housekeeper was trembling in fear. "M-Master, the young master, he..."

"The time hasn’t come yet. It can’t hurt anyone for now."

In this world, everything has its cause and effect. Even if one seeks revenge, it must happen at the exact right moment.

Master Dawnshade glanced at the housekeeper. "The plan has changed. Tell Mr. Crawford to get Mr. Fisher here as soon as possible!"

If Mr. Fisher didn’t come, Master Dawnshade wasn’t sure he could save Young Master Crawford’s life.

He had already prepared everything, but now someone had disrupted the flow. Who had made the vengeful spirit leave Barney?

Master Dawnshade clenched his fists, his eyes never wavering.

It wasn’t yet the time when the vengeful spirit’s resentment would rea

    To fully understand what was going on, Amelia needed to go underground.The hotel's complex layout actually provided a form of protection for her mother.This was the first time Amelia had encountered such a situation. She hadn’t moved her mother, choosing instead to stay here because she sensed something amid the chaotic energy.Although the hotel was dangerous, at least it helped preserve her mother’s sanity.She tapped in a code and used equipment to calculate the path.In the Five Elements system, there was a technique called "Acupoint Sealing."Originally, the hotel had no issues, but some of its smaller design choices had caused the overall Environmental Energy to deteriorate, bringing bad luck.The first step was to adjust the flow of energy and restore balance. The next task was to head underground.There was definitely something hidden beneath the hotel, something that wasn’t easy to detect.The role of the Mountain stone was extraordinary.Once Amelia had a plan in place, s

    Amelia held the purple jade pendant between her fingers, trying to clear her mind and piece things together.What role exactly was Abby playing in all this?Aunt Ashford’s boldness suggested she wasn’t just an ordinary maid, and Zane’s attitude was highly suspicious. However, Amelia didn’t believe Abby was Zane’s illegitimate daughter.It was simple logic. If Abby truly had a blood connection to Zane, she wouldn’t have been just a sponsored student of the Cromwell family. She would have replaced her and become the seventh young lady of the Cromwell family.Everything was full of contradictions.She remembered her grandfather saying that the reason the Cromwell family had fully sponsored Abby, making her different from the other sponsored students, was because she resembled him so much when he was young...Amelia’s gaze deepened, about to ask more questions when, suddenly, the sound of a wind chime filled the air.But there were no wind chimes in the room.Amelia turned to look outside

    The man spoke with a few light coughs, his sickly appearance not diminishing the natural aura he radiated. The Buddhist beads on his wrist were wrapped several times, vibrant and striking, symbolizing his cold, ascetic nature.He was already tall, and now, standing in the hotel corridor, his long legs and strong physique made him appear even more striking, almost out of place in this world.“So, how did you get in here when even the telecom signal is down?” Amelia asked, gripping his wrist and pulling him into the room.They were standing very close to each other.Carl hadn’t expected her to act so suddenly. His nose brushed against her hair, and as he lowered his gaze, he could catch the faint fragrance of her.Amelia’s “girlfriend power” was unmatched—quick and precise. Anything that tried to get closer had to stop in its tracks.Soon, all the lights in the corridor dimmed.Behind Carl, a thick black mist stretched, seemingly endless.He couldn’t see it, but Amelia could.However, s

    He called him Mr. Fisher?Rowan felt like his legs were going to give out. “I…”“I heard that Mr. Fisher really admires my fiancée and thinks that I can’t compare to you in any way,” Carl lightly coughed, a small smile curling on his lips. “I thought it was just gossip.”Whoosh!Rowan was hit like an arrow, his expression incredibly vivid.He suddenly remembered the things he had said at the vintage shop.At that time, he seemed to have mocked Amelia for telling her boyfriend everything...Now, he regretted it so much. He wanted to go back in time, shut his mouth, and stop flirting and making jokes!“M-Misunderstanding, Mr. Jenkins, it’s really a misunderstanding!”In their circle, Rowan couldn’t believe anyone wouldn’t fear Carl.Forget what his brother said behind his back—when facing the real deal, it was all about one look from him.There was an unspoken rule in their circle: anyone could compete, but no one could compare to Carl.

    "Amelia, this is the DNA test result. You are not Mr. Milton's biological daughter. Mr. Milton has found his real daughter and wants you to stop contacting them." Amelia arrived at her fiancé's house. It felt like a dream. She wasn't Jackson's daughter? She'd always wondered why Jackson let her take the Cromwell name. Now she knew—Jackson had known all along that she wasn't his daughter. She mustered the courage to text her fiance, Maynard Simmons, "Coming home for dinner tonight?" The wait felt endless. He hated being disturbed at work, and she worried he'd ignore her like he used to. But a second later, her phone lit up with his cold reply, "Yeah, we need to talk." Relieved, Amelia hurried to buy groceries and whipped up several of her best dishes. She placed the DNA test on the table, then thought better of it and flipped it over. As evening fell, a black luxury car pulled into the yard. Maynard got out, his suit jacket casually draped over his arm. His tall frame and sha

    Amelia didn't even glance at the check, a flash of mockery in her eyes. "Think it's too little? This is your income for ten years. Take the money and stay out of our lives. Maynard and I are a perfect match. After all, you're just the daughter of a small businessman. You don't belong in our world." Amelia felt another stab of pain. She hurried upstairs to the master bedroom, planning to leave whether Misty was there or not. With the breakup, she had no reason to stay. As she packed, she realized how little she had—her things barely filled a suitcase. The past three years felt like a dream. She saw the DNA test result on the bedside table and thought to herself, It's time to end this. Just then, Misty walked in uninvited, holding the breakup agreement. "Are you packed?" she asked. Seeing the paper on the nightstand, she looked puzzled. Amelia quickly grabbed the DNA test and crumpled it. She didn't want Misty to know her secret. Misty still thought she was part of the Milton f

    The thought of what was about to happen in that bed made Amelia's stomach churn, but she forced herself to stay calm. She turned and walked into the closet to pack her things. In no time, she had a suitcase ready. "Adrian, that suitcase looks like a designer brand. Find her something else to pack her things," Misty's shrill voice rang out, dripping with contempt. Soon, Adrian brought over an old cardboard box and threw it at Amelia's feet. "Use this," he grumbled. Amelia squatted down to open her suitcase, but Misty's voice came again, "Check her luggage properly later. Some people have sticky fingers. We don't want her taking anything she's not supposed to." Hearing this, Amelia's mind flashed back to Maynard's cold, ruthless look. He was in the bathroom next door, and if he found the DNA test result, he'd probably humiliate her even more. Adrian and Misty were watching her closely outside the closet. Amelia glanced at the DNA test hidden deep in her suitcase and made a quick d

    Amelia let out all her pent-up grievances in one breath, and immediately felt much better. "Finished?" Maynard's eyes were filled with confusion. He had given her a credit card and had Adrian send her designer clothes and bags every season. Now, he'd given her a large sum of money for the breakup—enough for her to live comfortably. He thought he'd done his part. "Can't finish in a few words," she replied. "Go on," he urged. "I can, but it'll cost you more," she smirked. Maynard's lips pressed tightly together. "Amelia, you really are all about the money. Greed never ends well," he warned. She was still not satisfied, even after all he'd done for her. Amelia's eyes were defiant yet clear, and he couldn't understand how a woman he thought was nothing but a gold-digger with a mouth full of lies could have such pure eyes. But she'd caused trouble repeatedly, and now she didn't even bother to hide it anymore. He'd thought she'd finally show her true colors. He should have felt re

    At the same time, after Rowan turned off his phone, he immediately made a U-turn.Barney opened his mouth in surprise. “Rowan, aren’t we leaving?”“We’re not leaving. Miss Amelia is the safest place for us right now.” Rowan had made up his mind.Barney blinked. “Then what about me?”“You go home,” Rowan glanced at the darkening sky, “My brother will definitely come looking for me at your place. Just tell him you don’t know where I went.”Barney hesitated. “But Uncle Cromwell saw you today.”“He’s too busy with Abby to worry about contacting my brother.” Rowan was especially sharp this time. “Park the car at my apartment, then take a taxi home. Don’t waste time.”Barney realized the urgency of the situation and nodded. “Got it. Leave it to me.”Rowan certainly knew his older brother, Spencer, very well.Once Spencer couldn’t get through to him, he started tagging people in his group chats.But the rich kids were all silent.After asking several peripheral people, they all said they had

    When Spencer made that kind of request, Rowan would usually go along with it, no questions asked. But this time, he didn’t agree.“Brother, I’m really useless anyway. The Crawford family has you, and Grandpa won’t say anything about it. I’ll leave it at that. I’m hanging up now.”“Rowan! Are you out of your mind? You need to come to the Crawford family now! I—”Before Spencer could finish, the call dropped with a series of beeps.Spencer froze for a moment, never imagining that, on this day of all days, pulling out the family’s influence wouldn’t work on his younger brother.He gripped the phone tightly, frustration evident in his posture.A member of the Crawford family approached, with Mr. Crawford leading the way. He looked at Spencer, his voice low. “Rowan didn’t come?”“Grandpa Crawford, he’s probably really exhausted these past few days. His mind’s not in the right place,” Spencer quickly explained. “Should I go up and stay with Barret?”Mr. Crawford didn’t agree. He leaned on h

    “We’re leaving now!” After a minute’s hesitation, they realized that it would be disrespectful to the master’s professionalism to delay any longer.Rowan was still worried. “Miss Amelia, is there anything we can help with?”“You guys…” Amelia glanced at the two young masters and spoke frankly, “If something really happens, I’ll need to protect you. Didn’t your family ever tell you both that people with light fortunes should take extra care to rest?”Barney stammered, “No, no one ever mentioned it.”“Well, I’m telling you now.” Amelia’s eyes grew deep as she added, “Remember my words. After dinner, go straight to sleep when you get home. Don’t go anywhere, especially not to the Crawford family. Even if your good friend calls you, don’t go. If anything happens, I won’t be able to save you.”Barney immediately nodded. “The Crawford family pushed us out to take the fall, so we definitely won’t go!”“Right.” Rowan seemed distracted, his mind elsewhere.Amelia noticed his distracted look an

    Some of the older employees at the hotel were feeling uneasy.When someone’s dangling above your head, you’re always worried about getting axed.If Amelia came in and fired them all, they could join forces to file complaints to Mr. Cromwell or expose some unsavory details about the hotel before quitting.But Amelia wasn’t doing that. She gave them time to make corrections.This left them caught in an awkward position—neither able to leave nor stay, nervous and indecisive.This was exactly what Amelia wanted. From the moment she stepped into the hotel, she knew it was riddled with problems that couldn’t be fixed in just one or two days.But for now, the most pressing issue was her mother.Amelia needed to learn some things, but Aunt Ashford remained obstinate, refusing to say a word.When the police finally took her away, she shot Amelia a hateful glare and cursed, “You won’t last long in New York.
