MasukAmelia brisk-walked to the elevator and headed downstairs.Right before she turned a corner, someone pulled her hard.Amelia's heart leaped to her throat, and she instinctively struggled with all her might. Amidst her struggles, she sensed a familiar scent.Christopher had trapped her in a tight embrace.Amelia's heart sank."Christopher Zephyr," she said coldly. "Let me go."She had no idea why he was going crazy. All the more she didn't know why Christopher knew that she was here.He always managed to come just in time. He seemed to be everywhere she was.Amelia thought she felt him stiffening at her cold voice.When he released her, and she managed to hastily withdraw from his arms and take a few steps back, she saw the cold look in his eyes.He was so calm, it was frightening. It was the same look on his face when he was drunk and hugged the wrong person.She was the only one along this corridor now. Did he get the wrong person again this time?Amelia didn't care much a
Christopher's eyes were dark and deep as he looked at her. Somehow, Amelia sensed that he didn't want to deal with the situation.Amelia looked coldly at him."You don't seem very bothered by it."With that, she turned to leave.Christopher was in her past.Nicole's predicament wasn't just about Amelia. It involved the country's interests as well.Christopher looked quietly at Amelia walking away, her svelte figure disappearing out of sight. He slowly retracted his gaze, then walked into the hospital.Justin saw him walk over and asked, "What brings you here?"Christopher looked back at him and walked toward the office. "I'd like some tea, please."Justin followed him into the office, saying nothing more.-After Amelia left the hospital, she headed to a cafe.She had an appointment with her lawyer. She still didn't have an idea who drugged her that night during the dinner.Lincoln seemed to be the most likely suspect."You've been filing so many lawsuits, I'm swamped. My
Christopher was the award presenter. He looked pristine and elegant, his tall, towering figure glowing on stage.Nicole should have been the one standing onstage, receiving the top prize.It was all Amelia's fault.It was all because of her!Nicole glared viciously at the woman on the screen.Tania's message read: [After you were brought away, he didn't look anxious at all. He even presented his ex-wife with her award. You really should think about your place in his heart and your current situation right now.]If Christopher had really been anxious, he would have started thinking of a solution the moment Nicole was brought away. He could always let someone else present the award.Nicole's grip on her phone tightened. She refused to believe the picture before her.[Given the position Chris is in, everyone's eyes are on him. He wouldn't be so blatant about trying to save me from my plight.]She refused to believe that Christopher didn't care about her.Tania was so flabbergaste
Christopher hadn't made his stand on this. Why should Luke step forward to help Nicole?Luke had always been practical. He knew what he should and shouldn't do. No one would be willing to be seen as an accomplice.Anyone who rendered Nicole help right now would be dragged down by her.With that, Luke hung up.Nicole stood rooted to the ground, staring at the phone in her hand. She looked at her phone screen in disbelief.She could understand if anyone else had refused to help her.But Luke…Nicole pursed her lips.All her paths had been cut off. No one was willing to help her.She had thought that she had successfully integrated into this circle. At least, with Christopher watching over her, her position in this circle was secure.In fact, she had been the cream of the crop amongst them.Certainly better than Luke!But she was now beginning to realize that without Christopher, she was unable to accomplish anything.Amelia, on the other hand, relied solely on her abilities
Nicole stood rooted to the ground.Mr. Hale had already predicted that this would happen, that she would go to him. He even gave his housekeeper instructions to keep her out of the door.When Nicole spoke again, her voice was hoarse. She had become so haggard within such a short time."Please, at least ask Mr. Hale to accept these gifts," she begged. "I'm sorry," the housekeeper rejected her coldly.She turned both Nicole and Tania down at the door.Nicole's face stiffened, her lips turning pale.Tania took a deep breath. Since when had she allowed herself to suffer such mistreatment?"You might as well go straight to Chris right now instead of trying something else," she snapped. Nicole looked at Tania with a troubled expression."Must I go to him and beg him for every single thing that happens to me? Must I ask him for help just because he's willing to help me?" Nicole gritted her teeth. "If you don't want to run around with me, just go home! Why didn't you say all this w
Nicole immediately dialed Christopher's number.The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it. Nicole made many calls, but all of them went unanswered.Left with no choice, she decided to call Nigel. Yet, even Nigel didn't answer her call.Tania's face fell. "He's probably abandoned you."Nicole's mind went blank. She refused to believe this.She immediately called Nigel again. Thankfully, he answered it this time."Hello." His voice came cold and distant.Upon hearing his voice, Nicole immediately hung up. She flung her phone aside and ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.Her reason for calling was weak.She didn't have any reason to keep asking Christopher for help. What was more, she alone was responsible for plagiarism.Nicole had always been a proud woman before Christopher. She had her dignity and pride that she fought hard to preserve. How could she ask him for help with something like this?It was already done and dusted…Seeing what Nicole was
