The Billion Dollar Revenge For Lucia Hale Chapter Ninety Six
“No.” Elara caught Amelia's wrist before she could turn away. “You don't get to throw that at me and walk away.”Amelia glanced down at the hand around her wrist, then back up, still smiling.“There she is.”That only made Elara angrier. Atlas was still watching them from across the foyer. Elara deliberately pulled Amelia farther toward the garden doors, where he wouldn't hear them.Not because she trusted her.Because she was tired of being the last person to know anything.“Victor Lang,” Elara said once they were far enough.Amelia's expression barely changed. “What about him?”“He supplied you sedatives. The same kind found in my glass. You said Darren served the drinks that night. I don't remember that happening. And you disappeared the moment your finances came under scrutiny.”She expected denial. She got something else.“Yes.” Amelia's voice was even. “Victor supplied me drugs.”Elara went still.“After my sister and her husband died,” Amelia continued, “I didn't sleep for mon

“My dear, evidence strong enough to investigate, but not strong enough for me to publicly accuse the future wife of my son during a family dinner, I believe?”Elara glanced at Atlas’ back for a second before facing Victoria again.“Isn’t that worth something still, Victoria?”“Dear, I don’t trust thin evidence, and coincidences are things I stopped believing in decades ago.” Victoria waved a hand at Elara.“Grandma—”“But if Amelia is indeed a threat, attacking her publicly now will only force her underground again.” Victoria nodded, putting a finger under her chin in thought. “A snake you can see is considerably safer than one underneath the floorboards.”Atlas’s expression shifted into one with a frown.“Watch her then.”With that, Victoria turned and left the sitting room. She didn’t care if they got what she meant. At the very least, she hoped they did.Elara and Atlas shared a look, then exited the sitting room as well.Outside, Raphael was waiting. As soon as he set his gaze on

Atlas’ mask finally broke. His hand slipped out of Elara’s before she could stop him, and he leaned forward, his eyes blazing. “WHAT?”Victoria gave him a warning glance, but he ignored it, shifting his gaze to Raphael and Amelia. “You spin that cock-and-bull shit story, and just expect me to take it like that?” “We don't expect you to take anything,” Raphael replied, cool and composed. “And you could have waited till the wedding before you made an objection.”“Atlas-” Victoria started.“She tried to sedate my wife. He tried to have my father put away, just so he could contest for a place on the Steele seat. And now, out of the blue, they're getting married?” “Those are far-fetched accusations,” Raphael snapped, his eyes glaring as well. “ I could sue you for that.” “Oh no.” Atlas’ voice was quiet fire. “You wouldn’t get to the court.” Another round of silence fell on the court. Carter took a hurried sip of his wine. Victoria shot another glance at Atlas, but he was too busy st

The looks of shock and surprise differed from face to face. Elara stared as Amelia walked down the stairs with Raphael, smiling at all, looking unbothered for all it seemed. “Everyone's just getting married to Harringtons now?” Graham mumbled as they took their seats. Atlas remained still, watching with a blank face. But the corner of his lips quivered when someone else walked into the terrace, a teenager with red hair like Raphael, chewing gum loudly and moving with exaggerated swagger. He sat next to Raphael, winked at Elara, then jerked his chin at Atlas. “What’s up?” he said. “Great, and here's the brat,” Graham mumbled again. “Hey, suck a fat one, old man,” the teenager snapped at him. “That's enough now, Theo,” Raphael said. His voice had a deep, rich timbre, and suddenly, Elara imagined Peter Steele sitting in his place. They must have looked quite alike. Atlas didn't seem to have that thought on his mind. He was shifting his gaze between Raphael and Amelia, waiting

They descended the stairs together, Atlas's hand still steady on her back. The evening light had faded, but the lanterns were so bright, it seemed like daylight. The table had already been set with food, but that wasn't what caught her attention. What did, was the people seated around it. There were seven of them, seated in the lantern light. Two children, both fair-haired, heads bent over their phones and paying the world no attention at all. Beside them, a couple who were unmistakably their parents: the woman blonde, poised, watching Elara with open curiosity; the man with the same pale blue eyes Atlas had, though softer somehow and less sharp. Further down sat a woman with a severe pixie cut and an expression of profound boredom, and beside her, a younger man who looked up the moment Elara appeared and did not stop looking.And the seventh person was Victoria, seated at the head of the table. Atlas bent to press a kiss to his grandmother's cheek before taking his seat at the ot

Clara held up the second dress against the first, weighing them both with a critical eye. “This one,” she said finally, nodding at the deep emerald in her left hand. “The other looks too soft.” Elara sighed, taking the dress. On a normal day, she would be able to make the choices herself. But it wasn't a normal day. It was the day she was supposed to meet with the Steele extended family. She had taken her bath half an hour ago,and was now spending the other half combing through her clothes, trying to find a very good-looking one. Each one was better than the last, and she had to call Clara in to help. “You look…worried, ma'am,” Clara said. “It's just nerves.” She took the dress, then stepped out of her towel to change. By the time she emerged, she'd rehearsed the evening in her head a dozen different ways. Perform calm long enough, she'd learned, and eventually it stopped being a performance at all. Clara helped adjust the dress from behind while she stared
