Semua Bab Princess Cromwell and Her Six Brothers: Bab 381 - Bab 390

Fortunately, at that moment, Abby supported him. "Dad, your heart isn’t in good condition. Don’t get too worked up."As she spoke, she met Amelia’s gaze. "Dr. Cromwell, I know you’re good at stirring up public opinion, but you don’t understand my father’s love for my mother. If you don’t know, don’t make reckless judgments. Everyone in the company knows how much my father loves my mother.""Oh?" Amelia had no interest in arguing with this little manipulator. Instead, she turned to the woman beside her and asked, "Does he love you?"The woman looked at the face in front of her, especially that strangely familiar teardrop mole. Suddenly, she found a strength she had lacked for so many years. "It’s just… average."The moment those words fell, everyone gasped in shock.Zane’s expression turned extremely sour. He stepped forward, trying to take the woman’s hand.Amelia blocked him immediately, her voice cool and detached. "Mr. Cromwell, are your ears not working?""You—!" Zane glared at Am

Zane’s head felt like it was going to explode, his expression filled with pain. He opened his mouth, as if wanting to explain:“Amelia, that’s not what I meant. I had never seen you before—I didn’t recognize you—that’s why I said those things. I—”“Mr. Cromwell.” Amelia’s voice was indifferent as she cut him off. “The daughter you want is the one standing beside you. Not me.”Zane froze, immediately protesting, “Amelia, how could you say that?”“How does Mr. Cromwell think I should say it?” Amelia arched an eyebrow. “Smile and happily accept you as my father?”Zane frowned. “But I am your father, Amelia. You can’t just hold a grudge against me over a misunderstanding.”“Oh.” Amelia’s lips curled into a breathtaking smile, her long black hair cascading behind her. “Then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, Mr. Cromwell. My greatest strength—” she paused, her gaze sharp— “is holding grudges.”Zane finally realized—his daughter truly did not want to acknowledge him.Panic set in.“Dad

Mr.Cromwell’s words sent shivers down the managers’ spines.Especially those who had second thoughts earlier—they immediately lowered their heads, terrified of being singled out."Mr. Cromwell, don’t worry! We will fully support Miss Amelia in her work!"Mr.Cromwell was direct. "Call her President Wan. My dear granddaughter is named Amelia.""Grandpa," Amelia had only wanted her grandfather to understand the truth. How had she suddenly been promoted to President Wan?Mr.Cromwell looked at his beloved granddaughter, his voice filled with affection. "It’s our family’s hotel. You don’t have to be so formal. Do whatever you want, Amelia. Remember—the Cromwell family wronged you.""Now that you’re back, just follow your heart.""As long as I’m here, I’ll always have your back."With those words, everyone present had to reconsider their loyalties.The managers glanced at Zane with a noticeable shift in attitude.But Zane no longer cared about the situation.He looked at his wife and daughte

It had to be said—Aunt Ashford's words were sharp.With just a few sentences, she had labeled Amelia as "rude" and "unworthy."Mrs. Cromwell had been one of the most prominent socialites in her time.She knew how dangerous such labels could be.If they stuck to her daughter, they would follow her for a lifetime.She had long since lost her confidence in speaking.She was even afraid of saying the wrong thing.But today, she stepped forward."You keep saying 'unworthy' and 'rude'—you insult my daughter and expect her to treat you with respect?""I haven’t managed household affairs in years, but I didn’t realize the Cromwell family's eldest daughter now has to pander to servants to be considered worthy.""The the Cromwell family pays you a salary. If you don’t want to work here, then leave."That single statement stunned Aunt Ashford. "Madam, I—"Mrs. Cromwell didn't even spare her a glance. Instead, she locked eyes with Abby."She has always served you. They say servants reflect their

Meanwhile, in the hotel lobby, the crowd had yet to disperse.Not everyone was foolish.As bystanders, they could see the situation clearly.Zane had just walked away, abandoning his wife and daughter to defend an adopted child—such behavior was disgraceful to many husbands in the room.Before today, people might have praised him for his kindness, for treating his “adopted daughter” as his own.But now, the real Miss.Cromwell had returned. The truth had come out. And yet, he still couldn’t recognize what truly mattered.The more capable managers among the onlookers quickly made their decision—they stayed.They wanted to see how Amelia handled the situation.After all, decisiveness alone wasn’t enough to run a business—one needed intelligence too.Could someone from a small town really manage such an enterprise?It wasn’t about looking down on her—it was simply a question of competence.Amelia didn’t care about the audience.She was more concerned about her mother’s health.The last co
