“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
Grandma Victoria smiled and replied, “Alright, thank you. I understand.”At this point, when someone offers help, it’s out of kindness, and it’s perfectly normal if they don’t. Grandma Victoria understood the value of courtesy.The Smith family urged her, “Why don’t we just forget it and not reopen? Old Ye, let me give you a piece of advice: this shop won’t make it. If you’re short on food or clothing, we old folks can still secretly help out.”The word “secretly” hinted at the true nature of things.Five thousand wasn’t a big deal for families like theirs. It might not even cover the cost of a meal that Mary would host, but she refused to give it, and she didn’t want anyone else to either.People often talk about wicked mothers-in-law, but they rarely mention that some daughters-in-law are even worse.Amelia’s eyes darkened, and her fingers absentmindedly tapped the table.It seemed casual, but there was a growing dark aura around her, with only her eyes glowing, hiding the danger l
"Of course, we'll make more. When Harmony Clinic becomes popular, we can open branches," Amelia said as she gently adjusted Grandma Victoria's gray hair by her temple. "You’ve always wanted to go to New York, right? Let’s open a shop there." Grandma Victoria chuckled as she listened. "My silly girl, do you think anyone can just open a shop in New York? That’s the capital of our country! But I’m so happy to see that you, my Amelia, have such big ambitions!" Grandma Victoria, had lived a long life. When she was young, she was too strong-willed and didn’t understand people’s hearts. By the time she got older, she had lost her job, her legs were no longer strong, and she couldn’t even maintain the prestigious reputation of her medical family. Her son was ungrateful, and her daughter-in-law was even worse. She often wondered, if she could choose again, what would she have done differently… But she didn’t need to choose again. With Amelia and Elijah by her side, and still able to pract
The elderly folks in the alley, just back from their morning exercise, were surprised to see Amelia standing in front of the clinic, fiddling with something. "Amelia, what are you doing?" someone asked, looking up at her. Amelia yawned, looking like she hadn't fully woken up, exuding a lazy beauty. "I'm doing a live stream." A live stream? The neighbors were intrigued! Although live streaming was common these days, and they often saw it on various platforms like TikTok, none of them had ever been part of a live stream in real life. Curious, they all gathered around, eager to see what she was up to. Amelia didn't shy away from their attention and chose the most popular video platform. The platform was offering support to new streamers, and there were relevant policies in place. New accounts could still stream, and as long as they logged in at the designated time, they would receive a small push of about three minutes. Amelia had done her homework the day before, and even this sm
The bullet comments exploded instantly! **[Are you sure you can treat illnesses?]** **[This is just a scam, don't believe it, everyone!]** **[A fake from the Milton family, can't make it, trying to scam money, disgusting!]** As the insults flooded the screen, Amelia remained calm, flipping through the medical book in her hands, completely unbothered. The recommended time was nearly over, but Amelia was unaffected. The more they cursed, the more people joined the stream. The more people there were, the bigger the traffic boost from the platform, and the number of viewers kept increasing. One hundred, two hundred—soon, the number was approaching two thousand. In an instant, the live stream under the name "Harmony Clinic" became the hottest in its category! It even briefly made it onto the trending list! The viewers coming in weren’t just people who knew Amelia; many of them were strangers too. Despite the noise and the barrage of comments, Amelia kept flipping through the med
The boy hesitated, then pressed the microphone button on the live stream, his voice a bit raspy: “How did you know my upper abdomen often hurts?” **[No way! The streamer really guessed it right!]** **[Gotta give this streamer a follow, she’s amazing!]** Amelia absentmindedly tapped her fingers on the desk, her tone calm: “We’re alumni, all learned the four diagnostic methods—look, listen, ask, and feel. A quick glance tells me everything.” The boy, still uncertain, asked: “So, what’s wrong with me...?” Amelia spoke in a professional tone: “It’s not stomach cancer, but I recommend treatment as soon as possible. Avoid takeout and eat easily digestible foods like pumpkin and millet porridge. Also, don’t let your studies affect your health.” If people were still laughing at her earlier, the viewers in the live stream were now completely shocked! The boy’s friend asked: “Old Third, what’s going on? Is what ‘Last Place Wan’ said true? Are you really sick?” The boy didn’t respond. He
At that moment, Amelia immediately took action. She encoded a message to the little girl and spoke clearly into the microphone: “I hope everyone can respect others' privacy, especially that of children.”[User_6: Don't worry, streamer, we won't take screenshots.][User_7: Yes, streamer, hurry and ask, what's going on with that child?!]Everyone had an unsettling feeling in their hearts.However, Amelia didn’t continue asking. She looked at the comments and said, “I will contact this patient privately. Please wait for a moment.”Following the principle of protecting the patient’s privacy, Amelia turned off the microphone.Yet, even with the sound off, the viewership kept skyrocketing.From tens of thousands, it quickly grew to fifty to sixty thousand—heading straight for the top trending spot!Though there was no sound in the live stream, the viewers stayed, all intrigued by what was happening.Amelia switched to private messages and contacted the little girl: “Little friend, when did
Unless someone was providing him with significant benefits behind his back.Zane felt like he adopted Abby and didn't have to worry about the Cromwell family.Amelia herself was an Environmental Energy practitioner. Any true practitioner who pays attention to the Dao can see that Abby does not possess the ability to help people change their destiny.To truly prosper in one's own family and bring prosperity to others, at the very least, one must have good luck.For example, her handsome fiancé was a rare talent that only comes once in a century.Generally, such people, without anyone saying, can be seen at a glance that they are destined to fall when they become too proud.Abby was nothing like that, in fact, she had secrets hidden within her.Amelia thought about this and stood up from her boss's chair. "Besides Master Dawnshade, who was my father close with, especially among those who believe in Environmental Energy? Who did he frequently associate with, and most importantly, I want
Upon hearing this, Javier's actions abruptly halted: "Ms. Cromwell, you suspect Mr. Cromwell?! This is impossible!"Amelia swept past him.Javier pushed his glasses and said, "Although I have always been on your side, based on my understanding of Mr. Cromwell, he would not harm Sir Cromwell even if their opinions differ.""It's not that Mr. Cromwell was particularly good, but rather that Mr. Cromwell was a very complex person.""He did not reach the level of his biological father at the crucial point."Javier's statement, Amelia believed.Only the entire Cromwell family, and only Zane had the opportunity to conveniently poison their grandfather.And at that time, the onset of poisoning was still very subtle.Before, Amelia thought that Abby was the person who poisoned.After all, she repeatedly wanted to bring soup to her grandfather.After she checked it again, she had a deeper thought.Abby's soup was not delivered.From Abby's perspective, she thought that she had sent the soup. If
Because details are subjective, everyone sees them differently.After all, Sebastian was still young at that time, so his knowledge was limited to what he could tell her.Unlike Javier, who has been in the company for so many years, he must be well aware of what happened at that time. Even if he is not sure, he knows some unusual things that happened back then. Being an outsider, he can definitely provide a more objective account of the situation.So Amelia's first reaction was to go and find him."Mrs. Cromwell turned out like this, none of us expected it," Javier sighed heavily. "Because of this, Sir Cromwell even had arguments with Mr. Cromwell. Sir Cromwell believed that the more psychologically traumatized a person is, the more they should come out and socialize, expand their circle of contacts.""And Mr. Cromwell didn't want Mrs. Cromwell to think about those sad memories again.""I was also worried that Mrs. Cromwell would hurt others again, just like before."Amelia raised an
"Took a French name for easy online orders," Amelia didn't hide it from Javier. "As for the rest, Mr. Kalisto should understand that sometimes what makes a brand expensive is not the brand itself, but the story behind it."Javier, being a senior professional, naturally understood what Amelia meant.Amelia tapped her finger on the crown and said, "Put on a foreign brand, sell it at a higher price. The story isn't mine to tell. The people who help me with online orders love to make up these things."Javier opened and closed his mouth, walked over, and then walked back."Ms. Cromwell, do you know how popular you were in the industry!""What I meant to say is, the dresses and jewelry you designed were really great!"The ladies in the circle, in order to get their hands on the limited-edition items you release every year, have always been competing!Javier, although he was a male.But he was well aware of how legendary the name Lamar was in the field of jewelry and formal dress design!On
Javier was so frustrated. He had just finished a phone call and wanted to go and tell Hamza to find a solution.The door of his office was pushed open."Ms. Cromwell," Javier saw that it was Amelia and quickly turned off the speakerphone on his phone!Amelia was the one who came, and Elijah accompanied his mother to Chicago because she wanted to check on something privately and did not let Carl come with her to the company.She had just not entered Javier's office when she heard him talking on the phone.The phone conversation was still related to herself.Amelia stood at the door conscientiously, without disturbing the other person, until they finished their conversation.She had just pushed the door and walked in.Javier was unsure how much she had heard and was about to start explaining.Amelia, however, was the first to laugh and said, "Mr. Kalisto, you don't need to tell Grandpa about this. He suffered a serious physical decline last time and it's not advisable for him to get ang
Rather than saying it is specific to New York, it is more accurate to say that this phenomenon is widespread and not limited to any particular region.Even if they are famous celebrities, some high-end custom-made products from well-known brands still require connections to borrow if they are not the brand's spokesperson.The bigger the brand, the more excellent the designer, the more demanding they are towards people who wear clothes and jewelry.It was not something that anyone could just get easily.Even for truly wealthy individuals.Even celebrities are just "display shelves" when it comes to selecting jewelry and clothes that look good.The designer would not have offended such a person.But on the Cromwell family's side, they also didn't dare to directly refuse.The answer to Javier Kalisto was either to perform abroad or to work on someone else's haute couture, but definitely not to take on this project, and the reply was very polite.Javier couldn't find any fault at all.How
As long as Victoria was there, her plan had hope.She had already figured out what to do next...What Mia didn't know was Amelia's true identity.She thought she had made it into New York, but in reality, both the Fisher family and the Crawford family treated her as just a little doctor for medical check-ups.None of the wealthy young ladies in those circles would even bother to play with her, let alone discuss the marriage between the Jenkins family and the Cromwell family.The bankruptcy of the Remington family directly affected the Crawford family.The Crawford family had been having a tough time these days!Galen's hand, clutching the cane, was trembling slightly. "You didn't find out why Carl suddenly targeted the Remington family!""Dad, you are also aware that by investigating now, it represents the things the Remington family did, which are related to our Crawford family.""We couldn't find it."Galen looked at his eldest son, who had just returned from a trip to LA, and said,
She cried with tears streaming down her face, "Just imagine, if I had known that Amelia had found such an amazing girlfriend, would I have allowed myself to be so embarrassed like this?"The sentence, what she said was indeed true.Mia looked at everyone's relaxed expressions and said with a hint of grievance, "Don't worry, I will go and resolve the misunderstanding with Amelia. Grandma won't let us sisters become enemies."The crowd heard the words and looked at each other.I didn't believe Mia's words.It was suddenly realized that people are like two sisters, even if they are not blood-related, there are still relatives in between.If they had offended Mia, they would have been the unlucky ones.Not to mention, Mia did indeed have some connections in New York.So soon, someone apologized, "Sorry Mia, we were a bit impatient in our tone. You should indeed talk to your grandmother and reconcile. After all, you are family. Now that Amelia has such a good boyfriend, it's better to clea
It was nothing more than envy and jealousy towards the Milton family's fake rich daughter, who managed to find such a good boyfriend.But spreading false rumors like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?The girl who wore glasses didn't know what others thought.Her only thought now was to stay away from these people!Because Mr. Jenkins said the last sentence when he walked out the door: "I can't stand anyone saying a bad word about my fiancée. If anyone spreads rumors, they can expect a visit from my lawyer, and I am ready to accompany him at any time."LA's Association of New York and others were all afraid to speak anymore.Including Mia, who was deep-minded, calculating, and well aware that today's occasion was not suitable for revealing what she knew.The Jenkins family, who was not an ordinary wealthy family, could not possibly make him remember with their usual tricks, as the saying goes, "The early bird gets shot."Regarding Winni's outcome, she simply felt that the other p
