"She's quite arrogant!" Molly paced back and forth on the floor, her steps loud. "If she doesn’t want to help, then fine, but she really thinks she's someone important! Pfft!"

The young lady furrowed her brows and tightened her grip on Molly's arm. "Auntie Ashford."

Molly seemed a bit scared, muttering, "I just think that girl is so ungrateful. In front of so many people, Miss apologized, and she still wouldn't accept it."

"The ungrateful one is you!" Edgar couldn’t hold his temper any longer after Amelia left. "From now on, whoever wants to be the manager can be! I’m not doing it anymore, running around here cleaning up your mess! Calling a doctor when there’s nothing wrong, is this a joke?"

Hearing this, the young lady’s eyes shifted. "Uncle Monroe, calm down. It’s just a small doctor."

"A little doctor? Miss Abby, do you know how important the Little Divine Doctor is to Mr. Cromwell?" By this point, Edgar had

    "I don't care what methods you use, but I don’t want to see her in LA again!"Mary forcefully hung up the phone, her eyes filled with disgust.She hadn’t planned to make things so ugly. After all, even raising a dog for years would create some attachment. But some people were like a stubborn adhesive—no matter how hard you tried to shake them off, they just wouldn’t go!Thinking about this, Mary suddenly seemed to remember something. She took out her phone and sent a message…That night, in ClearWater Alley, Amelia was locking her car when the sky had already turned dark.Normally, she wouldn't have paid attention to the streetlights, which flickered on and off.But as soon as she entered the alley, she noticed several figures trailing behind her.With her black bag slung over her shoulder, her thin lips curled slightly, her eyes already exuding a faint, cold charm.At the second streetlight turn,

    It couldn’t be anyone from her past either, since her current identity was well protected. But no matter who it was, coming to the alley meant they had crossed a line with her.After all, the elderly lived there.The thug trembled in fear, nearly at his wit's end: "I—I don’t know, this lady, we’re just doing some odd jobs. Someone above pays us, and we do the work. We don’t know who sent us here."His words were confused and stumbling.Amelia, however, detected something off in his tone. "So, you’re taking under-the-table jobs?"The thug hesitated, glancing at the man he had knocked over.Amelia immediately raised her foot and stepped on the man’s hand.He immediately curled up in pain, his hand slapping the ground desperately. "Yes, yes! We’re taking under-the-table jobs!"Amelia finally moved her foot, turning her gaze back to the terrified man. "Looks like you’re the lead

    "Julian." The thug answered without hesitation, clearly too scared to run. "Lady, we were just trying to scare you. We didn’t mean to do anything else. We thought, you’re just a young girl, if we shout at you a bit, you’d leave LA.""Right! What the boss said is true! Who knew you’d just start beating us up without saying a word!"This was the most ridiculous thing they had encountered in all their years of work!Amelia had listened enough. Her tone was light as she said, "You did manage to scare me, so for the emotional distress, you’ll need to compensate me."The thugs were stunned: Who’s being scared? They were the ones with bruises, broken bones, and who knew what else!Amelia smiled. "What’s wrong? You don’t want to pay? Fine, I’ll call the police, and you’ll all have a record.""Wait, wait!" Julian stretched out his hand, gritting his teeth in pain. "Lady, we’re willing

    These were the only two Amelia hadn’t attacked.Julian shuddered when he heard her words. How did she know he was doing this for them...?Amelia’s voice was lazy. "You take jobs, fine. But why not take mine? At least it’s legal."Julian had accepted all sorts of jobs over the years—helping husbands catch their wives cheating, intimidating mistresses, dealing with troublesome mothers-in-law. There were even more questionable jobs, like forcing elderly people to vacate their homes for their daughters-in-law.All sorts of things. But usually, when they arrived, the average person would be scared. Even if they weren’t, they certainly wouldn’t think of them as good people.This was the first time they hadn’t scared anyone and had ended up losing their subordinates instead.Julian lowered his voice, "We don’t do anything too extreme.""I’m a doctor, treating patients. What’s too ex

    "Harmony Clinic?" Julian's voice trailed off as the name sounded familiar. The little thug next to him reminded, "It’s the place where we had the foot massage before." Amelia raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence, they used to be our customers." Julian froze, "But wasn’t it an old lady doing the foot massages…?" Amelia remained unfazed, "That’s right, it was my grandmother. It used to be a foot massage shop, but starting tomorrow, it’ll be a traditional medicine clinic. It’s kind of funny that you guys came here to intimidate us without even checking customer records." Julian’s face turned slightly red. "We’re just trying to make a living, but don’t worry, we won’t be bothering you again." Amelia picked up her black bag from the side, her brows slightly raised, "Call your boss." Julian didn’t react immediately. "Huh?" The pale-haired boy, though lacking in sight, was quick to react. "Boss." "Report on time tomorrow," Amelia said, satisfied, as she waved her hand. "Now, you c

    Clearly, Amelia didn’t want to discuss the issue any further. She took a few steps forward, her black boots clicking against the ground, her long hair flowing down to her waist. Her legs were long and slender, her fair skin almost glowing. But Carl still noticed something unusual about her right wrist. Suddenly, he raised her wrist, his dark eyes lowering as he asked, “What happened here?” Amelia was unconcerned. “I must have scraped it against a tree while avoiding hitting the wrong person. It’s fine, I’ll take care of it when I get back…” Her sentence was abruptly cut off. It was because of Carl’s sudden movement. He leaned down, his lips brushing against her wrist. His touch was dangerously close, yet gentle and tender. It wasn’t quite a kiss, but the coolness of his lips eased the burning sensation from her injury. Amelia had never been this close to anyone before. She instinctively tried to pull her wrist away. But Carl tightened his grip, his deep gaze lifting to meet her

    “Alright.” Amelia agreed without giving it much thought. After everyone had left, she suddenly felt that this whole "reporting before leaving" action seemed a bit ambiguous. And the slight coolness still lingering on her wrist seemed to remind her of the man's presence at all times... On the other side, Carl had reached the street corner. His car was already waiting—an exclusive, limited-edition Maybach. The driver respectfully bent down and opened the door. At that moment, Carl was entirely different from the way he had been in front of Amelia. He raised his hand and casually undid his diamond cufflinks. The oppressive aura in his dark eyes made those watching through the video hesitate to even look him in the eye. “Handle everything.” That was the first thing he said. “Anything else can wait until I arrive.” Once he removed the beads, it was as if a restraint had been lifted from him. Besides his usual cold and noble demeanor, there was a subtle danger in his gaze, deep an

    Amelia looked at the old, worn passbook and spoke up, “Grandma, I have money.” “You had money before, but now you’ve been kicked out. That family even stopped your credit cards.” Grandma Victoria gently stroked her long hair. “You always know how to make me happy.” Amelia smiled lightly. “Grandma, I…” Before Amelia could explain further, Grandma Victoria’s old mobile phone began ringing loudly, each ring more jarring than the last. Grandma Victoria glanced at the caller ID, and her gentle expression shifted. She started to stand, intending to take the call in private. Amelia, quick to catch on, asked, “Is it Mary Crawford?” Grandma Victoria, unable to hide the truth, nodded in resignation. Amelia smiled gently. “Grandma, answer it. Elijah and I are grown up now. Whatever happens, we’ll be here with you.” Hearing her granddaughter’s words, Grandma Victoria felt a warmth spread in her heart. Suddenly, she felt stronger and answered the call she had been avoiding. “Well, you fin

    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. He was simply out of their league.Carl’s gaze lan

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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. Mr. Cromwell and Madam will see through you, and the high society women won’t accept you
