Chapter 198

作者: Goldfish
Amelia took Evelyn's hand and walked away.

Nicole was furious; for the first time, she was stumped by Amelia's retort.

"Chris, I never knew Ms. Sinclair had such a sharp tongue," she complained.

Christopher put out his cigarette and said, "Why bother provoking her? It's not the first day you know her."

Nicole found that to be true.

Amelia would argue her head off, even if she were in the wrong. She thought she was all that with Jasper's favor, that she really had a say in Nova Nine.

  • Reborn Without You   Chapter 920

    "So what if I mean Christopher?"Jayden didn't deny it. There was a hint of madness in his tone. "Doesn't he care about you? Isn't he supposed to be capable? I want to see what he does when he can't find you. See if he runs around like he's lost his mind. I want him to know what it feels like to lose the person he cares about most. I want him ruined, with nothing left!"Amelia looked at his twisted expression. "Jayden, this is low, even for you. You think using me will actually get to Christopher? He's not going to give in because of me.""Really?" Jayden let out a soft laugh, his eyes full of mockery. "We'll see. I'm sure it won't be long before he's scrambling everywhere, trying to find you. When that happens, he'll realize he can't beat me."After saying that, Jayden stood and turned to the bodyguards behind him. "Keep an eye on her. Don't let her wander. If anything happens to her, you answer for it.""Got it, boss," the guards replied.Jayden walked out, and the door was l

    This work site Amelia was at was extremely confidential. Only core members of the Academy of Aerospace knew about it.Jayden's lips curled into a cold smile. "Come with me. I won't hurt you."His voice was soft."Why would I go with you?" Amelia took a step back, her eyes sharp as she glanced at the men behind him. "Where's Keith? What did you do to him?""He's fine. Just asleep," Jayden said calmly. "I'll say it one more time. Come with me. Don't make me do this the hard way."Amelia was about to refuse when a wave of dizziness hit her. The strange sweet scent in the air grew stronger, her vision blurring.She reached out and tried to steady herself against the tent, but her body went limp, as if all the strength had drained out of her. Darkness closed in, and she lost consciousness.In the last moment before everything went black, she saw Jayden lift a hand. The men behind him stepped forward and picked her up.-When Amelia woke up again, she found herself lying on a soft b

    After Amelia finished the soup, Keith handed her a pack of compressed crackers. "Have some of this, too. It'll keep you going. Later, let's check the tents and secure the rain covers. This rain's probably going to get rough."Amelia took the crackers and nodded. "Okay. Thanks for the help."The two of them grabbed flashlights and went from tent to tent, checking each one.As Keith secured the rain covers, he reminded her, "If you hear anything strange from your tent tonight, or if it starts leaking, call me right away. Don't try to deal with it on your own. This isn't the city. Out here, we need to look out for each other.""I got it. Thank you."Amelia felt a quiet sense of gratitude.The conditions on this trip were rough, and Keith had been looking out for her the whole time. He carried the gear, made hot soup, and reminded her of things like this. It made her feel a lot more at ease.By the time they finished checking the tents, a fine drizzle had already started falling,

    The terrain and climate in the forest were unusual.Amelia crouched beside the equipment, a clipboard in hand, carefully recording the temperature and humidity data transmitted back by the drone.Keith stood next to her, adjusting the weather monitoring device. The two of them exchanged a few comments about the data from time to time, working in easy sync."That's the last set of data. We're done for the day." Keith checked his watch and smiled at Amelia. "We've been at it since morning. The sun's almost down. Let's set up the tents before it gets dark, or it'll be a hassle."Amelia nodded. She put away her clipboard and helped him unload the tent gear from the SUV.The wind cut through the forest, loud and restless, mixed with strange calls from wild animals.Other than that, there was nothing.They split the work. Keith handled the tent frame while Amelia laid out the ground mats and sleeping bags. Both moved with practiced ease.By the time the last tent was up, the sky had

    Amelia let out a small sigh, put her phone away, and forced herself to focus on work.At the same time, Christopher was alone in a hotel room.He hadn't left Rivendell the night before. Instead, he checked into a hotel not far from Amelia's place. He wanted to be close enough to feel near her, but he wasn't brave enough to knock on her door again.He leaned back against the headboard, eyes closed. At some point, he drifted off.In the dream, Amelia stood in front of him, her expression cold as she handed him two documents and asked him to sign.He had always trusted her, so he signed without reading them.His voice was distant as he told her not to let her or Evelyn bother him again. After signing, he handed the papers back and walked away.At a dinner party, someone pushed through the crowd and spoke to him."Mr. Zephyr, your wife and daughter were cremated today. Please go to the crematorium to collect the ashes."His heart skipped a beat. He refused to believe it.He drove

    Christopher knew that leaving like this had hurt Amelia and Evelyn again, but he didn't know how to face them.He leaned against the cold wall in the hallway. Only after the tight pressure in his chest slowly eased did he push himself upright.He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.Then he pulled out his phone and called Nigel."Keep a close eye on Jayden. I want to know who he's been meeting with lately and whether there's been any unusual money moving around."Christopher's voice had returned to its usual cool edge, steady and unreadable."And keep track of Gerald's movements. If he's still in Rivendell, let me know right away.""Got it, Mr. Zephyr. I'll have people on it immediately."Nigel's voice came through the phone, sharp and efficient.After hanging up, Christopher stood there, staring down the empty hallway, his thoughts still unsettled.He knew he had been too harsh with Amelia just now, but he didn't know how else to face her. He was afraid his

    Nigel's only conclusion was that Amelia was prideful and pretending to be all that.If she really had any dignity, she should have just left the marriage without a single cent instead of coming here to sign a property transfer agreement.At the end of the day, she wanted money while pretending to

    Amelia turned back to look at him. "Make Nathan apologize in front of everyone in school first."She had to salvage Evelyn's ruined reputation.Christopher fiddled with the lighter in his hand. "He'll apologize right after they sing the school song, okay?"Amelia didn't have any objections to t

    "What?"Luke was completely taken aback by the news. After a moment of silence, he knew what was going on without asking."Amelia must be behind this."Nicole's face was dark with rage. She had never expected Nova Nine to actually fire her. This was only her first day of work at Nova Nine, too!

  • Reborn Without You   Chapter 199

    Luke had a cigarette between his lips as he looked slovenly at Amelia, hinting that she was pestering Christopher and refusing to let go of him.Amelia already knew what to expect from this bunch. Thus, she wasn't affected by Luke's quip.Still, she wondered who among the three of them knew about
