“Yes.”

Speaking of Scarface, he had been anxious all night.

He and his men had searched the hotel repeatedly, but no matter how many times they went up and down the stairs, they couldn’t find the suite Amelia had mentioned. It was as if a room had mysteriously vanished.

Even the hotel’s guest services manager joined them in the search, yet they still couldn’t locate the correct room.

It wasn’t until news spread online that guests staying at the hotel might win the lottery that he finally delivered the Mountain stone Amelia had requested.

Scarface hadn’t slept a wink, and sweat covered his forehead. The first thing he did upon seeing Amelia was pull her aside.

“Miss Amelia, there’s definitely something strange going on in this hotel,” he said, voice full of unease.

He then recounted his bizarre experience in detail.

Amelia, still feeling drained from using her energy, yawned as she replied, “It was before, but not anymore. It’s been taken care of.”

“You knew?” Scarface picked up on the

    Amelia carefully reviewed numerous guest reviews.Issues had arisen in the past, but the hotel's customer service department had been severely negligent, disregarding client feedback. Over time, these problems accumulated into the mess they faced today.The resentment lingering underground had already grown dense. If left unchecked, it would spread to the upper floors within a month.When that happened, it would undoubtedly affect the emotions of the guests, leading to extreme incidents—suicides, for instance.“Find some experienced workers and pay them extra,” Amelia instructed, kicking aside the white paper. “Tear down that wall and set up an altar for the Earth God.”The manager nodded hurriedly, agreeing to everything without hesitation.Amelia tossed the Mountain stone over and set the incense burner in place. “Until the Earth God is invited, do not move the Mountain stone.”“Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.” At this point, the manager was completely on Amelia’s side.After

    This was the perfect opportunity for Amelia to clean house once and for all.With solid evidence in hand, no one could use the excuse of "longtime employees being mistreated" to pressure her anymore.Some seasoned workplace manipulators had looked down on Amelia’s background and thought they could control her.To them, she was just a girl brought back from the countryside—what kind of skills could she possibly have?They never imagined they’d be completely taken down by her.By the time they were dragged away, it was already too late for regrets.Bob had once again witnessed Amelia’s ruthless efficiency, and it sent a chill down his spine.Yet, she made him stay and watch the entire meeting, deliberately keeping him in his position rather than outright firing him.That was even more torturous.“Manager Ashford.”As the meeting ended, Amelia suddenly called out to him.“Stay behind.”A wave of cold dread swept over Bob.Amelia wasted no time with small talk. She tossed a set of parking

    “Boss, I found that jade dealer, Mr. Whitlock, from LA that you asked me to investigate.”Henry’s voice was filled with excitement.“This old fox is extremely secretive with his dealings, probably because he’s afraid of being tracked.”“He didn’t even dare to take a plane. He’s got a lot of valuable goods on him. He just returned from overseas by cruise ship and plans to attend an antique auction in a few days.”Upon hearing this, Amelia glanced at Bob.Bob was still distracted by her peculiar ringtone, trying to guess who was calling. But when he looked up, he found the Miss Amelia staring directly at him.In an instant, an icy chill ran down his spine. He hurriedly blurted out, “I’ll go ask the elders in my family if they know anything about my aunt,” then quickly fled the conference room, even thoughtfully closing the door behind him.Amelia withdrew her gaze and set down the pen she had been toying with. She didn’t waste time on unnecessary words.“Where is he now?”“the vintage s

    Ruby finally reopened the webpage she had seen earlier.She had been watching everything Zane had done.It was time to put an end to certain things.“Elijah, would you like to go for a walk with me?”Elijah, now wearing a new protective charm and a small bell around his neck, looked even more spirited. He nodded immediately and ran off to grab his backpack.He raised a hand to negotiate: I want a candied hawthorn skewer. I won’t get cavities. Auntie, don’t tell the Boss.Ruby burst out laughing. “Didn’t Amelia just say that I’m your mom? Shouldn’t you call me ‘Mom’ instead?”Elijah, his little head full of confusion, scratched the back of it, looking a bit puzzled.Despite being middle-aged, Ruby still retained the charm and beauty of someone in their thirties. With a little dressing up, and after changing Elijah into a stylish outfit, the two of them genuinely looked like mother and son.Her first stop was a hair salon.For years, people had praised her long hair, saying it made her

    Returning to the workforce is never easy.Especially for someone who has been a housewife for years—it’s even harder to find a job.Sitting next to Ruby were fresh university graduates, some of whom had even studied abroad. The field of operations was in high demand, especially in the digital marketing sector. Even celebrities needed proper promotion and strategic advertising.One of the applicants glanced at Ruby and then turned to whisper to someone beside her.Fragments of their conversation drifted over."Oh my god, she’s so old, and she’s still competing for a position with us?""The company definitely won’t hire her. I took a quick look at her resume—housewife, full-time mom."At some point, “full-time mom” had become a derogatory term.Even though they contributed the most to their families.The saddest part? Women were the ones discriminating against women.But who doesn’t age? Who hasn’t been young once?Ruby remained silent.Perhaps this was the first lesson of re-entering s

    "Are you willing to start as an assistant?"Catherine abruptly interrupted the male interviewer, her tone crisp and decisive. "If you’re willing, stay."She flipped through Ruby’s personal file. It was clear that this was a woman whose marriage had ruined her career. But beyond simply wanting to help a fellow woman, Catherine also saw real potential in her.Ruby didn’t seem like an ordinary housewife. If she couldn’t handle the pressure…"I’m willing." Ruby smiled. "And I’ll prove that I’m more than just an assistant."Her composed yet confident attitude was commendable.Since this was an exception to the usual hiring process, there was no need for further interviews—she was told to report to work the next day.Outside, the high-achieving graduate who had mocked Ruby earlier walked out as well, complaining loudly over the phone."Mom, I don’t want to work here. I applied for an operations role, and now they’re assigning me as an assistant. What kind of company is this?""Sweetheart, f

    At this moment, in the traditional courtyard house, Mr. Hart was anxiously pacing back and forth."The school placement exams are coming up soon. We must get her school transfer sorted immediately so she can start classes as soon as possible."Mr. Hart was a highly respected expert in the field of medicine, dedicating his entire life to saving lives.For years, he had worried about the decline of traditional Chinese medicine. Now, with Amelia showing promise, he finally saw hope for the next generation to carry on the practice.No matter what, she had to continue her studies.Mr. Hart was concerned that Amelia might fall behind in her education.Just as Amelia walked into the room, she overheard this conversation. She knew Mr. Hart genuinely cared for her and didn’t want to disappoint him."Mr. Hart, I can study on my own at home," Amelia said with a gentle smile. "I’ll keep my enrollment at our vocational school and take the specialized college entrance exam when the time comes. I’ll

    As for Aunt Ashford and Abby, they were still unaware that the hotel’s formation had been broken.Amelia could interrogate them, but after thinking it through, she decided it wasn’t worth the effort.It was better to keep problematic people in the open, let them expose themselves, and follow the trail to uncover the bigger picture.She handed Rowan a blackened hairpin."Return this to its rightful owner. Put it back inside the house."Rowan didn’t understand where the hairpin came from.Not until he arrived at the apartment complex and met with the agent.Even on his way upstairs, he felt a chill creeping down his back.The agent found it odd, too."Sir, maybe you should check out the place by yourself. Just make sure to lock the door when you leave."As Rowan stood in the hallway, keys in hand, hesitating—The door next to him suddenly swung open.Inside, a couple was in the middle of a heated argument.The man reeked of alcohol."Why did I hit you? If you can’t handle that job, then

    Everything Carl had done in the industry proved one thing—he was not someone to mess with.Ruthless. Calculating. Deadly.He might look frail, but the people he dealt with were the true titans of power.Yet somehow, in front of his little sister, he became… harmless? Gentle?Fake! He’s obviously faking it!No brother in the world would ever approve of their sister’s boyfriend.Sebastian was no exception.Especially since this guy had once broken off the engagement!Everything else, he could accept.But Carl acting all soft and considerate around his sister? That was terrifying.This wasn’t how he handled people.Noticing Sebastian’s gaze, Carl turned to meet his eyes.His deep, fox-like eyes were unreadable—dark, bottomless.“I understand if Sixth Brother has an issue with me,” Carl spoke first, striking before the other could. His voice was calm, carrying a soft sigh, tinged with a hint of guilt. “I was wrong in the past. Maybe it’s because I never played with him as a child… or perh

    The other two nearly fainted on the spot, quickly hiding inside the amethyst pendant, too scared to come out.Everyone around the Master is a terrifyingly powerful existence...They couldn’t help but worry—would their presence, as malevolent spirits, affect the Master’s long-term fortune?But after seeing Chaos—they decided to keep quiet.After all, if the Master was bold enough to raise Chaos, she probably didn’t care about a little fortune imbalance.Meanwhile, Elijah sniffed the air, noticing a new scent on his boss.It smelled delicious.He instinctively rubbed his belly, then tilted his little face up, eyes locking onto the amethyst pendant, making hand gestures toward it.Amelia understood what he meant and pinched his soft, chubby cheek."They’re your little siblings now. You can’t eat them. Understood?"Can’t eat them?!Food can become siblings?Elijah’s tiger-like little face scrunched up.Fine. He’d reluctantly agree for now—he could always find another opportunity later.Af

    Amelia patted Elijah’s head and met Sebastian’s gaze."Sixth Brother, Elijah is my little brother."My little sister’s brother? That means he’s my brother too!Sebastian’s mindset shifted in an instant. He grinned at Elijah, just about to say something—When Carl suddenly turned Elijah around, revealing the QR code on his back."Elijah doesn’t speak, so I’ll speak for him. He likes money."Elijah usually disliked Carl.Something about the man’s presence always made him feel suffocated.That feeling was intangible—he couldn’t quite describe it.He just didn’t want to deal with him.Unfortunately, his boss was clearly blinded by good looks.Elijah had already asked the women on set about this.Apparently, his boss never showed interest in men, yet she was suddenly indulging this one.Clearly, she was captivated by his beauty.At first, Elijah wasn’t optimistic about this relationship.But as hacker L, he decided to do some digging—turns out, the Jenkins family was loaded.That was a plu

    "Very handsome."Ruby, with her elegant demeanor, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.She hadn’t expected that her youngest son, upon seeing her, neither showed fear nor questioned why she was here.Instead, he naturally stepped in to help her.She was deeply moved.Meanwhile, Sebastian casually placed the milk tea on the table and turned to the dumbfounded young starlet and makeup artist."Take your time with the milk tea."His gaze locked onto the young starlet."Being an idol doesn’t mean thinking you're above others.""You should be grateful that cup of milk tea didn’t land on my mom’s face.""Otherwise, you'd never survive in this industry again."Ruby wanted to stop him—such direct words would only invite trouble.But Sebastian didn’t care."Mom, I was a rookie once too. Back then, I had to suck it up and endure everything on set. Look at her—she even mocks the staff.""I… I…" The young starlet’s face flushed red with embarrassment.The other crew members were watching.She had in

    In general, new assistants in the industry are given menial tasks.Especially those assigned to the outer edges of a set—they’re basically at everyone’s beck and call, running errands back and forth.Ruby had been deliberately pulled away by Elijah earlier, so she had no idea what had happened during the program recording.Elijah had acted strangely, doing everything possible to keep her from entering the inner set.It was only after she returned that Ruby found out her son was one of the guest participants.Now, with police cars outside and people constantly coming and going, she set down the milk tea that had been specifically requested by some celebrities and decided to ask around in the break room.“Excuse me, little sister, can I ask what happened on the show? Where’s Kina? Is he safe?”The so-called “celebrities” she had been delivering milk tea to were actually internet influencers from the same company, filming vertical short dramas in the adjacent studio.Sometimes, the small

    Sebastian’s eyes were already red with anger.“little sis, who is this Environmental Energy master you’re talking about?!”“We’re still investigating.” Amelia’s voice was calm and steady. “Sixth Brother, I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to act impulsively. The Earthly Fiend Array isn’t something an ordinary Environmental Energy master can set up. The person behind this must be on par with Master Cloudwalker.”Carl had been silent all this time. But upon hearing this, his eyes flickered with interest.“On par with Master Cloudwalker? That significantly narrows it down—not many fit that category.”“There aren’t many officially registered,” Amelia replied, pausing briefly. “But there could be others operating in the shadows—we’re still looking.”“That array was strange,” she continued. “Rather than simply bringing misfortune to the Cromwell family, it seemed more like someone was trying to steal the Cromwell family’s fortune.”Carl’s eyes narrowed, exuding an air of noble y

    Sebastian instinctively took a step back.The reason he had stayed away from home for so long—was fear.As a child, he had tried to make his mother happy by bringing home good grades.But by then, she was already sick, her emotions unstable.He had expected her to hit him. He would have preferred that—at least then, she would have reacted.Instead, she had looked at him like an empty doll, staring blankly outside as she asked, “Why didn’t you pay more attention? Did you really have to eat that candied hawthorn?”Then, she had started crying.Sometimes, she even hurt herself.The doctors diagnosed her with depression and warned them not to trigger her condition.Anything or anyone that might worsen her state had to stay away.Over time, her condition deteriorated—she lost hair, grew frail.Following medical advice, he and Fifth Brother avoided appearing in front of her.Then, their father brought that sponsored student home. At first, their mother had resisted fiercely.Sebastian still

    In the Earthbound Array, Amelia understood better than anyone how difficult it was to hold onto oneself. The person in question had already sacrificed too much—she didn’t want any more rifts in their family.As soon as Sebastian heard that his little sister wanted to introduce him to someone, he wasted no time. With a hat, sunglasses, and a mask in place, he showed up in front of Amelia, looking a little nervous.But his actions were quick—he handed over a black card in an instant.“Little sis, this is for you!”Sebastian had never been this straightforward before.In all of New York’s elite circles, he was known for being aloof and untouchable. The only two times he had lost his temper, he had beaten people up with a cold face.Everyone knew that if there was one person in the industry you shouldn’t provoke, it was the Cromwell family’s domineering troublemaker.Even Spencer and his group only dared to gossip about Amelia behind her back, never to her face. And that was because of Se

    Carl noticed her staring and raised an eyebrow slightly. "If you keep looking at me like that, I’ll think you’re about to charge me for medical fees again.""Medical fees?" Amelia didn’t immediately follow.Carl lifted a hand, touching his neck. He let out a soft chuckle, his voice so pleasant it was almost unnatural.That’s when Amelia finally saw the markings spreading down his neck.A series of Sanskrit symbols. To the untrained eye, they might look like tattoos.But in reality, they were a form of spirit-binding. Right beside them was the imprint of a red spider lily.Because the markings extended downward, and since he always wore collared shirts, she had never seen them fully before.Now that she had noticed, she wanted a clearer look. Without hesitation, she grabbed him and lightly pulled at his collar.It was well known—the red spider lily bloomed along the path to the underworld, guiding departed souls toward peace.Its meaning? The gentleness of a demon.Most people wouldn’t
