Chapter 3

作者: Melon Latte
My hands trembled from anger.

Perfect timing.

I wanted to talk to Amelia too.

It didn't take long before a red Porsche slowed to a stop in front of the learning center.

"Wow."

"That car must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, huh?"

"I didn't know Will's mother was so rich and pretty."

Surprise gasps erupted among the crowd.

Amelia got out of the car, looking like an elegant socialite.

"Amelia!"

Mr. Foster hugged Amelia and started complaining. "You're finally here! I was scared out of my wits! This lunatic hit me and scolded me. He even tried to take Will away!"

Will also dashed over to Amelia, exclaiming, "That weird man barged into my classroom and glared at me, Mommy! He also kept shouting. I'm so scared. Protect me, Mommy!"

Amelia held Mr. Foster's hand while gently stroking Will's hair. "Calm down, sweetie. Mommy's here now. Don't worry. Were you really scared?"

She patted Mr. Foster's back as she continued, "Be good, Will. No one will bully you or Daddy when I'm around."

She then lifted her head and swept her icy gaze across her surroundings. "Who dares to cause a commotion and scare my family?" she demanded.

The crowd's interest was piqued by her actions. They looked between her and me, waiting for her to unleash her wrath on me, the so-called abductor.

Amelia looked up after she was done comforting Mr. Foster and Will, her gaze finally falling on me, who was still trapped between the two security guards. Her eyes widened, and her expression stiffened.

There were glaciers in my eyes when I glared at her.

"Go ahead and keep up your act, Amelia," I thought to myself. "Let's see how you'll discipline your legally-wedded husband."

Amelia gently pushed Mr. Foster away and positioned herself in front of him and Will. A few feet separated us as she asked, "What do you want?"

The crowd fell silent in an instant. Everyone's gazes were trained on us.

"What do I want? What's going on, Amelia? Where's my son? Where's Will?"

Everyone was stunned by my words, their gazes alternating between Amelia and me.

Amelia's expression twisted slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about. Your son, Will? You must have some screws loose in your head."

My last thread of rationality snapped as Amelia continued to hide the truth, and I slapped her hard across her hypocritical face.

Everyone was stunned speechless. Even Mr. Foster stopped crying and stared at me in disbelief.

"Amelia Garrett!" I roared as I pointed at her. "Drop the act! Where's Will?"

Amelia's face turned a ruddy red. Before the others could react, she lunged at me and grabbed a fistful of my collar. "I don't know what you're talking about! I can give you money if that's what you're after, but I won't let you bother my family!"

She then lowered her voice and hissed, "You'd better play along, Dylan Lewis, or you'll never see Will again."

I stared at her in shock.

I couldn't believe that she was using William to threaten me.

    The busy tone echoed from the receiver as Brandon cruelly ended the call.The color drained from Amelia's face as she gripped her phone. Not only did she lose William and me, but her backup plan had also spectacularly backfired in her face."No… This can't be…"She frantically dialed Brandon's number again.Brandon answered almost instantly this time. However, he started shouting hysterically before Amelia could even get a word in."Do you have some screws loose in your head, Amelia Garrett? Don't you understand what I just told you? I told you to leave me alone! I wouldn't have gotten together with you if your husband weren't rich!"The truth is, I wanted to dump you a long time ago. Did you really believe that I was interested in an old hag like you? Only you would be idiotic enough to treat my son like your own flesh and blood. Only you would be stupid enough to treat a stranger's child like a precious treasure!"Amelia looked as if she had been struck by lightning. Her eyes

    Unfortunately, our troubles hadn't ended yet.Not even two days later, someone incessantly rang the doorbell.I looked through the peephole.It was Amelia. She stood outside the door with a bright smile on her face."Honey? Will? Open up! Why did you throw my things out?"I opened the door and hissed, "Are you deaf or stupid, Amelia? I already told you that our marriage is over."The smile on Amelia's face stiffened."Do you have to be so cruel?" she asked as she tried to squeeze her way into the house. "We were together for more than a decade. Aren't you going to miss the love that we shared?""The love that we shared?"I planted myself in front of the door and blocked Amelia's path."Our love ceased to exist from the moment you decided to get involved with that man and use my money to fund his and his child's lifestyles. Not only did you let his son take Will's place, but you also let Will be abused just to get in their good graces."How dare you talk about love? Don't you

    Amelia shoved Brandon with all her might.Brandon yelped as he staggered backward and fell to the ground. His carefully styled hair had turned into a mess. He seemed to be dazed from his fall as he stared up at Amelia in disbelief."It's all your fault! If only you didn't make a fuss and insist on sending Will to this damned learning center! If only you weren't so vain and obsessed with comparing yourself to others, things wouldn't have ended up this way!"Amelia pointed an accusing finger at Brandon and pinned all the blame on him. Her voice was colored with hatred when she screamed, "I should have rejected all your requests. This is all your fault!"Brandon's temper exploded at Amelia's shamelessness. He crawled back up to his feet. Disregarding his image, he pounced on her and shouted, "How dare you blame me for what's happening? You're a heartless bitch, Amelia!"He continued scolding her, his voice cracking from his high-strung emotions. "Only you would be shameless enough to

    A dead silence descended upon the room the moment Amelia's shameless words left her lips, leaving only the sounds of her ragged breaths and Will's frightened cries.I looked at her before looking at Brandon Foster, who was clad in branded clothes from head to toe. Fury bubbled within me.This was the man who was having a tough time? This was the man who needed her help?I barked out a condescending laugh and interrupted Amelia before she could spout any more shameless excuses."Stop with your repulsive lies, Amelia. Save your energy for the court. I'll be filing for divorce. You won't be getting even a cent that belongs to Will or me. I'm going to kick you to the curb with nothing to your name.""D-Divorce? Kicking me to the curb?"Amelia stared at me in disbelief before she gritted her teeth. "T-That's not going to happen! You don't control the court! Do you really believe that you can strip me of everything? What gives you the right to do such a thing?""What gives me the righ

    Amelia opened her mouth, looking as if she had something to say.Mr. Foster glanced at me and sneered, "That's right. Amelia's the president of a huge company! You'd better get out of our sights now if you know what's good for you. You're going to regret it if you keep bothering us."It was obvious that he was trying to scare me off by revealing that Amelia was the president of Elysium Group.The last flicker of hesitation in my heart disappeared as my gaze alternated between Mr. Foster's idiotic face and Amelia's humiliated expression. She looked like she wanted nothing more than for the ground to open up beneath her feet and swallow her whole.I had no obligation to consider the feelings of these people."You really are something else, Amelia. Using my money to pretend that you're a CEO in front of other people," I said, targeting Amelia where it hurt the most."How dare you use my money to pose as someone wealthy and start another family? Do you enjoy being a full-time housewi

  • One Surprise Visit, One Trafficking Charge   Chapter 5

    Amelia was my wife, whom I loved with all my heart. She grew up in a normal family.I had already achieved some success with my business when I met her. Ignoring my parents' protests, I married her and transferred all my assets to her name, so she could have an easy time being a full-time housewife.In the past few years, I was responsible for making decisions that involved the business, while she made decisions for our family. It was why she had been the one to handle William's registration with the learning center.She had played the role of a gentle and virtuous wife in front of me for so many years. As a result, I was completely blindsided by the fact that she had started another family away from home."What's your relationship with each other?" one of the teachers asked, unable to suppress her curiosity any longer.I scoffed and was about to expose Amelia's web of lies when she suddenly pounced on me. "Let's go home and talk about this, okay, honey?" she whispered pleadingly.
