“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.

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.

    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?

Amanda shouted, unchanging in her stubbornness.Paula, who originally wanted to pull her along, did not stop her at this moment.Ruby's daughter embarrassing herself was the most enjoyable thing for her.All the pressure came to the Cromwell family at once."Scarface, it was indeed difficult to explain."Most likely, this is the rumor spread by Amelia from the Cromwell family, probably out of fear that Mr. Jenkins would want to break off the engagement again."The Jenkins family must have looked down on someone from a small place, otherwise there wouldn't have been no one coming.""Who said it wasn't, and Scarface has been around for so many years.

    People did not know who the person in the picture was.The video only captured the marble floor on the ground.The photographer intentionally took it this way.At that moment, everyone's gaze focused on the screen."Mr. Jenkins, who had previously rejected the Cromwell family's proposal, would never actively pursue her.""How did you know it was her spreading the rumors?"The voices of the two girls were clearly processed, making it impossible to tell who they were."I caught the person spreading rumors."One of the girls aimed her phone at the screen.Wearing a long coat and carrying a birdcage, Scarface was talking to someone, saying, "You guys have only seen one side of the Cromwell family's matter, Mr. Jenkins was the one chasing after people.""You see, the way he talks, it's as if he has seen it with his own eyes."

Can you tell?" Amelia casually raised her hand and took a glass of wine.The vengeful spirits jumped twice on her shoulder and said, "I didn't see anything else, it's just that people listened to her too much, Master. I know there is a kind of dark magic underground that can influence people's thoughts.""Dark magic?" Amelia said absentmindedly, "Are you referring to what is recorded in the Indian scriptures?"The vengeful spiri

    So Zane hated, and of course he could not chase the past again, he also had his dignity!Abby became anxious and said, "Dad, you should go and say something nice to Mom. Mom won't really divorce you.""She wanted to leave, so she left!"

    Ruby respected Arnold a lot: "You were right."Hamza was also there, leaning on a cane, with a slightly deep gaze. He didn't beat around the bush: "Ruby, I didn't quite hear clearly up there, but are you wanting to divorce my son?"Arnold frowned, "This was a matter for the younger generation, you shouldn't meddle in it.""Arnold, I don't want to get involved, but I have to ask," Hamza chuckled. "After all, it has come to this point."Ruby was especially apologetic to Hamza. Ever since she married into the Cromwell family, her in-laws treated her as if she were their own daughter. They would say that Chicago was far from New York, but if she needed anything, she just had to let them know and they would support her.It has been like this for so many years.Amelia was kidnapped, and Hamza's hair turned white overnight.At that time, Hamza's body was not as strong as before.In terms of emotions, Ruby should not have brought up the topic of divorce on such a festive day.

    Divorce?Not only did the entire scene become quiet.Even Zane was dumbfounded in the local area."Divorce?" He stared at his wife with wide eyes, in disbelief: "You want to divorce me?"The education of the Molson family, he knew it better than anyone.How could someone raise a woman who would say divorce right away?Wasn't she always abiding by the rules?Can't we discuss it privately, even if there is something that can't be said in private? Do we have to embarrass him in front of everyone in the hall?Zane seemed as if he didn't recognize Ruby anymore, anger welled up in his eyes."You fell ill again!"Zane reached out to grab Ruby: "Come with me to the hospital!"Did you get sick?Did Mrs. Cromwell say she wanted a divorce, was she ill?Some people were still confused.Amelia had already grabbed Zane's wrist with a strong grip and said, "My mother considered it unfair to disclose those documents regarding the Cromwell Group's impact.

    Who knew, Ruby affectionately held her hand and said, "Mrs. Campbell is right. As mothers, we shouldn't promote harm to children. But when someone wants to harm our children, we don't care about saving face. We won't let them get involved!"Octavia was being held by such a delicate and beautiful lady, and she was feeling a bit nervous. "Ah, yes," she said."Throughout, everyone believed that my condition could stabilize because my husband brought a child back." Ruby looked at Zane like this for the first time, almost seeing through him: "I, like everyone else, believed the same."Our love, everyone present, especially Mrs. Fisher, was a witness to Zane and me.Ruby would never let something go, especially if it was directed towards her.Just because she came back late, not a single person intended to let her daughter go.Is it just like those people online who used to criticize Sebastian?Her illness was constantly giving others the opportunity to attack her daughter.Ruby had origina

    "Our sister has always been Amelia, that's what I remember, and I have told you more than once.""Before, we were concerned that you were a girl, and we would publicly expose you, causing you to lose face.""But you repeatedly, in various ways, slandered Amelia to satisfy your vanity, intruding into things that don't belong to you.

    "The water of the Cromwell family was so deep, it was a bit concerning, but it's strange that Mrs. Cromwell is fine, yet her husband never mentioned it."Yeah, it's strange.Zane, who was always doting on his wife, was completely unaware that his wife had already recovered.The people present were not stupid, in fact, each of them was very intelligent.The ladies hated men of this kind the most!Acting like they loved, but in reality, it was all bullshit!"I wonder now, why Zane insisted on adopting Abby, there must be something wrong."Zane, upon seeing the situation, desperately wanted to go back!In fact, when Ruby arrived, he wanted to take the opportunity to dominate the other party, just like before.But these three sons, they didn't leave him any space at all!"I was your father!"Zane growled angrily, completely losing his composure!Raiden chuckled, "You don't have to be, as long as my mom is happy, I can be her lawyer."This statement, almost revealed all the hidden cards.B
