Amelia felt her heart sink.

It wasn't unusual for Christopher to ignore her calls.

She dialed again, and this time the call went through. "Hello?"

Nicole's voice came through the line. "Who's this?"

Hearing Nicole's voice, Amelia's hand tightened around the phone, her knuckles turning white.

    Keith's face tightened with concern."You really don't have to do that. I already told you, I didn't mean anything by it. I was only trying to help."Amelia looked at the anxiety on his face, and a quiet warmth moved through her.Keith was a good man. Kind, honest, and sincere. However, she couldn't give him what he wanted.She shook her head gently, her voice warm but firm. "Mr. Burns, don't blame yourself. My resignation has nothing to do with you. I just want to go back to Northon, build my career there, and make things easier for my daughter. That's all."She paused, then continued, "You're a good person. You're decent, kind, and serious about your work. One day, you'll meet someone better suited for you, and you'll have the happiness that belongs to you."Keith's fingers tightened around the report until his knuckles turned pale.After a few seconds of silence, he said quietly, "I understand. I was out of line. I shouldn't have put my feelings on you like that. I hope e

    Jasper continued, "If you need help with Evie, I can ask our housekeeper to stop by more often. Or I can have Winona come stay with you for a few days."Warmth spread through Amelia's chest. She shook her head. "You don't have to go to that much trouble. Evie's easy, and I can manage. I just feel bad making you wait longer.""Don't start being polite with me." Jasper smiled. "Take care of your resignation first. If anything comes up, call me anytime."-Two days later, Amelia went to Darell's office at the Academy of Aerospace.When she pushed the door open, Darell was reading a technical report. The moment he saw her, he set it aside, his face lighting with a warm smile."You're back. I'm glad the rumors have been handled. You've had a rough few days. Sit down. I'll have my assistant bring you some coffee."Amelia sat on the couch with both hands resting on her knees, her tone serious. "Mr. Carter, thank you for looking out for me during all this. I came today because I wante

    Amelia gently laid Evelyn on the bed, tucked the blanket around her, then returned to the living room and saw a message from Jasper on her phone.[The rumors are completely under control. Get some rest.]She replied with a simple "Okay," set the phone down, and stepped out onto the balcony.Amelia drew in a deep breath. For the first time in a long while, her heart felt quiet.-After Evelyn fell asleep, Amelia sat on the living room couch with two sets of documents in her hands, one from the Academy of Aerospace and one from Nova Nine Technologies.She hadn't been at the Academy for that many years, but she had poured so much of her effort and ambition into that place.The drone project was about to enter a crucial stage. If she stayed with it, the future could open up in ways she had once dreamed about.But the moment she thought about the pace of frontline research, her heart sank.Endless overtime. Frequent business trips. Technical problems that could explode without warn

    The morning the statement went live, Amelia woke to Winona's call.Winona's excited voice burst through the phone."Get online right now. Jasper is unbelievable. He buried the rumors overnight!"Still half asleep, Amelia rubbed her eyes and opened her phone.On the trending page, several topics sat near the top."Aerospace Engineer Amelia Sinclair Addresses Recent Rumors""Sources Confirm Nathan Is Not Amelia Sinclair's Biological Son"Jasper's team had released a long, carefully worded statement, and major outlets had already picked it up. The post included the paternity report, Christopher's statement from back then, and scanned copies of the legal notices. The evidence was so complete that no one could really argue with it.In the comments, people who had insulted her before were now apologizing one after another. The tide had turned completely. Some users had even started digging into Samantha's past behavior, questioning whether she had been the one who started the rumor

    "I keep feeling like their goal isn't just to humiliate me," she went on.Jasper picked up the glass of water from the table and handed it to Amelia, his expression growing more serious. "You're right. They're trying to destroy your reputation in public."Something that only circulated in a small circle was exposed on purpose. That means whoever did this knows your past and knows exactly where to hit you."Your position as an engineer at the Aerospace Institute depends heavily on public trust and personal integrity. If they manage to make a moral scandal stick, it could damage your work and your future."He paused, then continued, "Have you considered that this might not be Samantha acting alone?"You hold a senior role at the Academy of Aerospace. You're young, and you're leading a core drone project. Your career is just taking off."In a field like this, if you take someone else's opportunity or get in someone's way, they may come after you."Amelia's hand stilled around the

    Samantha never would have guessed Amelia's boyfriend was Jasper.Christopher's hands tightened around the steering wheel, his knuckles going pale.He looked at Jasper's arm, draped so easily around Amelia's shoulders, then at the relaxed smile on her face. Something sharp twisted in his chest.He had thought she had made up the boyfriend thing to get out of an awkward moment. He hadn't expected there to be someone real.With anyone else, he might have told himself it was fake.But Jasper was different. Jasper was entirely possible."Mr. Langley?" Samantha forced down her shock, her voice careful and probing. "What brings you here?"Jasper looked toward the two of them in the car. His expression stayed calm, almost unreadable, but his tone carried a cool distance. "I'm picking up my girlfriend from work. Is that a problem?"The words landed like a slap across Samantha's face.Her mouth opened as if she wanted to say more, but Christopher stopped her with one look.He looked at

    Nathan looked down indignantly and said nothing, his fists clenching."Will my mom join the celebration today?" he asked. "I called her today, but she didn't answer." He was asking Christopher.Yet Christopher's face never changed, and he continued driving in silence.When Christopher said noth

    Luke couldn't believe that Amelia had a chance to meet someone at Mr. Warren's level. She wasn't fit to have his contact number.Christopher lowered his head and took a sip of his wine.He said plainly, "Different situations demand different approaches. You can't simply generalize like this."Luk

    Christopher turned to glance at Amelia. "Congratulations."Amelia had also withdrawn her charges. Nicole no longer faced a lawsuit and wouldn't be troubled by it."Congratulations to you too," Amelia said flatly, "for getting what you wish."Amelia had seen for herself how much the two of them lo
