"But you should have someone beside you who notices the little things and doesn't let you carry everything alone. That's too much for one person," Lincoln said.Amelia's fingers stilled. She didn't respond.She knew he meant well. But experience had taught her not to rely on anyone, especially after Christopher. Since then, she had kept herself guarded, leaving no room for anyone to get close enough to hurt her again."Maybe because of Christopher, you've misunderstood me. Maybe you even have a bias against me."Lincoln's voice was soft but steady. "People say he and I are rivals. You might think I got close to you for another reason. But that's really not the case. We've known each other a long time. From when Nova Nine first started to when you ran into trouble, I've never done anything against you. If I helped, it was because I wanted to."Amelia looked up at him, something unreadable in her eyes.He wasn't wrong.When Nova Nine first launched and the funding collapsed, Lin

Amelia opened her mouth, meaning to say something, but nothing came out.In the end, she just nodded once. "Thank you."Lincoln smiled and let it drop. He picked up a bowl from the bedside table."The doctor said to keep it light. I brought chicken soup. Have it while it's hot."Amelia took the bowl and drank in small sips.Her mind didn't slow.No one in business acts without a reason. She wasn't going to trust him fully, and she wasn't the woman she used to be.-Soon, Amelia was discharged and went home.The moment she opened the door, she saw several large cardboard boxes stacked by the entryway, each stamped with the logo of a well-known supplement brand.They looked expensive.She stopped, already forming a guess. They were probably from Christopher.A few days ago, he had shown up with herbs for recovery. Now that she was out of the hospital, this fit the pattern.She bent down and picked up a box, her fingers brushing over the smooth packaging. A faint unease set

Chapter 1093

Amelia set her phone aside and looked at the items in the boxes.She had never told Lincoln what supplements she preferred, and she had never mentioned Evelyn's interest in blind boxes. Yet he had remembered it all, even the smallest details.That evening…Evelyn came home from school and spotted the boxes in the living room as soon as she walked in. Her eyes lit up. "Mommy, what are these?""Mr. Spencer sent us some things. There's a surprise for you inside," Amelia said, smiling.Evelyn ran over and opened one of the smaller boxes. Inside were several blind box figures she had been wanting.She cheered and dropped to the floor to open them. After a moment, she pulled out her favorite little bunny figure and carefully placed it on the display shelf in the living room, adjusting it again and again until it sat just right.Amelia watched from the side, a faint smile forming.She picked up her laptop, settled onto the couch, and got back to work.The Nova Nine and Corvex Solutio

Chapter 1094

More than a few people in the industry had their attention on Amelia.No one had expected a private tech company less than five years old to land a cross-border partnership with Corvex Solutions, and the one leading it was a woman this young.In a corner of the hall, Christopher held a glass of champagne. His eyes were fixed on Amelia. He wore a tailored dark gray suit, his posture straight, but he had chosen a spot that kept him out of the center of attention.From the moment she walked in, he hadn't looked away.She looked better than she had at the hospital. There was a sharper edge to her now, the kind that came with experience, though a trace of softness still showed if you paid attention.He watched her speak with Davis, saw the ease in the way she handled questions from the press, and the way she took documents from her team with a quiet, "Thanks for your hard work."Amelia was going over implementation timelines with Davis when she felt a familiar gaze.She looked up and

Amelia went to her car to grab the materials she needed.She had just stepped into the parking lot when something caught her eye. Under a streetlight stood a familiar figure.Christopher.He wore a dark gray suit. A cigarette burned between his fingers, smoke rising in thin strands into the night. His face was partly hidden in shadow, unreadable, but the way he stood there made it clear he was waiting for her.Amelia slowed for a fraction of a second, then kept walking as if she hadn't seen him. She had no intention of greeting him.She had already drawn a line between them. There was no reason to stop."Amelia."His low voice came from behind her, with a tight edge he didn't quite hide. Her grip on the documents tightened. She stopped anyway and turned. The streetlight cut across her face, calm and composed. She said nothing, waiting for him to speak first.Christopher stubbed out his cigarette and dropped it into a nearby trash can, then walked toward her. He stopped a few

"Chris and I just got here and haven't gone inside yet. Why don't you show us around and introduce us to a few people from Corvex Solutions?"Her tone was casual, as if Amelia were there to be summoned, not the one who had just closed the Nova Nine deal.Amelia's fingers tightened slightly around the documents. Her expression didn't change. When she spoke, her voice was calm and final."Sorry, I can't. I have something to take care of and need to leave. You can ask the event staff to guide you."She turned to go, not interested in staying."Wait." Samantha stepped in front of her, her voice sharpening. "Is that how you treat your guests, Ms. Sinclair? We came to your signing event, and you won't even walk us in? Could it be…"She let the pause hang, her gaze flicking between Amelia and Christopher as she tried to stir things up. "Does seeing Chris with me bother you? Are you jealous?"As soon as she said it, several guests passing by slowed down and looked over, curious.Amel

Chapter 1097

Amelia lifted her glass again and finished another half.For the next half hour, she barely paused.Some came to congratulate her, some to sound out potential deals, and some simply wanted to meet the woman who had carved out a place for herself in a male-dominated field.She kept the same polite smile. Her glass rose again and again, and the wine followed. Color crept into her cheeks. Her focus started to blur.Jasper had been watching from across the room. When he saw how much she'd had, he stepped in and pressed a hand over her glass before she could raise it again."Amelia, that's enough. You just got out of the hospital. Your body can't handle this."She shook her head, eyes unfocused, trying to pull her hand free. "I'm fine… It's a big day. People came to congratulate us. I can't just shut it down…""Being happy doesn't mean you ignore your limits." Jasper's voice hardened. He took the glass from her and handed it off to a server. "You've had enough. Any more and you're g

"Mr. Langley, why don't I take Amelia home? You've been busy all day. You should get some rest."Lincoln stepped over, his eyes going straight to Amelia.He carried a small bag. Inside were the things for a hangover drink.Jasper's hand tightened on Amelia's arm. He met Lincoln's gaze, polite but steady. "No need, Mr. Spencer. I'll take her home. She's had a lot to drink. It's easier if I handle it."Lincoln paused, taking in the way Jasper had shifted slightly in front of her.He understood. Jasper didn't trust him around Amelia like this. As a friend, he was drawing a line.Lincoln let out a small sigh and didn't press it. He handed the bag to Jasper. "Then I'll leave her with you. Have her drink this when she gets home. It'll help.""Thanks." Jasper took it and guided Amelia toward the parking lot.Amelia leaned against him, catching fragments of the exchange through the haze, but she didn't focus on it. To her, it didn't matter who took her home. It was just help.What she

Chapter 1099

Late that night…Amelia drifted in and out of sleep. A dull buzz filled her head, like pressure building behind her temples. Each wave was sharper than the last.She forced her eyes open. The room was pitch-dark.She turned toward the window, trying to fix her gaze on the distant lights outside, hoping it would ease the pounding.Then, from the corner of her eye, she caught a tiny red light blinking in the corner of the garden below.Her heart skipped. She instinctively held her breath and fixed her gaze on it.Two seconds later, it disappeared, as though it had never been there.Amelia blinked and rubbed her eyes. Maybe she had drunk too much. Maybe her vision was off.She told herself she was just exhausted. Nothing more.The headache pressed harder, and her throat felt dry. She pushed the covers aside and stepped onto the cold floor, heading for the living room to get water.She had just reached the bedroom door, her hand hovering over the handle, when she heard footsteps.

Chapter 1100

Amelia lay there with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling as one possibility after another took shape in her mind.The deal with Corvex Solutions had just gone through. Could a competitor be trying to scare her?Or had Samantha done something after their argument earlier?Or was she reading too much into it, and none of it meant anything?The thoughts kept circling, tightening Amelia's chest.She picked up her phone, ready to call Jasper, then saw the time. It was 2:30 a.m.She set it down again. Calling now would only wake him, and if she was wrong, she would sound paranoid.She drew a breath and walked quietly to Evelyn's room. Right now, she needed to see her little girl.The door was slightly open. Amelia pushed it wider. Evelyn lay on her side, her cheeks flushed. Her lashes rested against her skin, her breathing slow and even. She was still holding the blind box figure she had opened the night before.Amelia stepped closer and crouched by the bed, brushing a strand o
