Chapter 4

Five days later. Thiago called over his secretary – Mateo, after the morning meeting.

“Any news about Amelia?”

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the Hemsworth scenery, Thiago's tall figure cast a strong oppressive atmosphere.

I’m sorry. Mr. Thiago. Nothing so far.”

Mateo looked nervous, wiping the sweat off his forehead. “And, she didn’t return to the nursing home where she used to work after leaving that night. I personally went to her hometown Lily City to check, but the address was fake. No family shared the same surname as her.”

“A fake address?” Thiago suddenly turned around, his eyes gloomy.

“Yes, I checked with the local registrar office, but I couldn’t find any information about Mrs. Anderson.” Mateo said. He was used to referring to Amelia as “Mrs. Anderson”.

Thiago's mind was in chaos. What kind of woman had he married? Was she a spy?

“Did you check Ethan's identity? She left with him that night.”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Thiago. If President Hamilton really wanted to hide her identity, we might not find any clues…”

Thiago's heart rate accelerated, and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Ethan seems like a decent guy. How could he do such a thing?”

“Well this isn’t exactly a bad thing, right? It’s more like he’s taking over your ex-wife…”

Thiago glared at him, and Mateo was so scared he couldn’t catch his breath, coughing.

The scene of Ethan protecting Amelia that night was still fresh in his mind, his deep eyes were shocking.

Thiago felt oppressed. How could his wife attract someone like Ethan to be her protector?

He remembered what she had said in an attempt to win him back.

“Thiago, can we…not get divorced? Because…I love you!”

“Liar!” Thiago glared fiercely, a strong chill radiating from him.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he couldn’t stop thinking about it!

At that moment, his cell phone vibrated on the table.

Thiago collected his thoughts and saw it was a call from Veronica and quickly picked up.

“Veronica, what’s up?”

“Thiago, I’m in the Anderson group lobby. Can you come pick me up? I made some snacks and wanted you to try them.”

Veronica's voice was sweet, even Mateo felt a tingling sensation just hearing her.

“You’re in the company lobby?” Thiago furrowed his brows.

“Yes, Thiago. What’s wrong? You don’t want to see me?” Veronica sweet voice came through the phone.

"No, I’ll send Mateo down to pick you up.”

After hanging up, Thiago's face became even more gloomy.

His divorce papers with Amelia hadn’t been finalized, and the news of their divorce hadn’t been released. If Veronica came to him directly at this time, it would cause a lot of controversy.

He was not afraid of that, however…

At this moment, his cell phone vibrated again.

Thiago looked at the screen, his heart pounding.

“Grandpa.”

“You ignorant boy! Did you take my words as wind?!”

James Anderson scolded, “I told you, once you marry Amelia, you can’t have any contact with the Scott family’s daughter! But you broke your promise and even let her into our company. You might not respect yourself, but don’t you care about Amelia's dignity? Get your ass over here!"

The atmosphere in the room was very oppressive.

James, leaning on his cane, sat down on the sofa with the help of his secretary and Elijah. He was fuming.

Thiago stood in front of his elder, standing tall, while Veronica was stopped outside the door. In James's words, a woman like Veronica didn’t deserve to see his honorable face.

“Speak! What’s going on between you and that woman from the Scott family?” James slammed his cane on the ground.

“Dad, calm down…” Elijah tried to pacify James, glaring at Thiago.

“Grandpa, the three-year term is over.”

Thiago’ voice was hoarse, he said word by word, “You once promised me, just marry Amelia for three years. After three years, whether to continue or divorce, it’s all up to me.”

James face turned pale as if struck by lightning.

In these three years, Amelia, the obedient child, had stayed with him every day. Over a thousand days had passed like shooting stars, he hadn’t realized the term was up!

“Now, I choose to end this marriage and be with the person I truly love. You shouldn’t have any objections. Amelia has already signed the divorce agreement. We’ll process the divorce in the coming days.” Thiago said calmly.

“What? You already divorced her?” James stood up in shock, his vision turning black, almost falling.

Thiago quickly rushed forward to support James, but was angrily pushed away.

“Dad! They haven’t officially processed the divorce yet, just signed the agreement. You have a history of stroke, you can’t get too excited!” Elijah hurriedly comforted.

“Why can’t I find a satisfactory daughter-in-law? Why can’t I have a granddaughter-in-law I like?”

Thiago stood in place, not knowing what to do. Elijah was also dragged into it.

“I want Amelia! Go get my Amelia back! Without Amelia, I can’t live peacefully. I want Amelia to be the daughter-in-law of the Anderson family!” James was acting like a child, losing control of his emotions.

“Thiago, call Amelia now, have her come see your grandpa!” Elijah said in a rush.

“Grandpa, that’s pointless. Even if I bring her back now, our marriage is already over. There’s no going back.”

Thiago thought it would be best to rip the band-aid off quickly. With time, feelings would fade.

“Ah!” James started to shake and fell back.

James' sudden faint scared Elijah and Thiago. They quickly dialed for a doctor and searched for medication. The scene was chaotic.

Thiago felt helpless, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Amelia.

However, the automated voice told him, “The number you dialed has been disconnected.”

Not only had Amelia disappeared, her phone number was also disconnected?!

“So annoying!” Thiago was so angry his eyes turned red and he clenched his fists.

At the entrance of New lake Hotel.

Numerous executives were waiting for their new female leader.

“I heard the new GM is a young woman!”

“I don’t believe it. Four male managers have come and gone, and none of them could change the situation. Now a female manager is supposed to make a difference? What a joke!”

“I heard she’s Chairman William's biological daughter…”

“Chairman William has so many wives, this daughter must be an unloved illegitimate child. If she really was his precious daughter, why would she be sent here to deal with this mess?”

Everyone laughed.

“She’s here! The new boss is here!”

A top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce came to a stop at the entrance, followed by several high-end Maybachs. It was quite a spectacle.

Seeing the license plate, everyone immediately quieted down, focusing intently.

The car door opened and the first thing to come into sight was a pair of black high heels. An aura of authority.

The next moment, a stunningly beautiful woman with a curvy figure and radiant face stepped out of the car. Her sharp eyes and queenly aura were intimidating.

“Hello everyone.”

Kira slightly opened her rosy lips, her smile breathtaking. “I’m your new GM. But I need to clear something up: I’m not an illegitimate child. I guess some of you might be disappointed?”

As soon as she finished, those who were just talking broke into a cold sweat.

A few minutes earlier, in the car.

Kira picked up her laptop and shut off the two security cameras at the hotel entrance.
