Chapter 161

Amelia arched a brow at Tania.Was this woman trying to strike a partnership or acquire Ascent Corporation? She clearly had her eyes on Ascent Corporation's project."Does shamelessness run in your family's blood?" Amelia scoffed. "Why are all of you so shameless?"Tania's face turned dark with displeasure."I gave you a chance, and you're blowing it. Why are you being so aggressive? I just thought that things were getting tough with your family. You're repaying kindness with evil."Tania smirked. "I wanted to help you out, but this is the kind of attitude you show to your future benefactor? No wonder Christopher doesn't like you. How do you expect a man to care for a repulsive woman like you?"Tania's voice was dripping with mockery.Both Tania and Amelia's father, Jonathan, blamed her for being unable to capture Christopher's heart."What's the point of having a man care for you?" Amelia smirked back at her. "Relying on a man for power, influence, and social status?"She d

"Why should I?"Amelia looked at Christopher's cold, hard face. "Christopher Zephyr, what right do you have to command me?"She turned and looked icily at Tania. "If this happens again, I won't let you off with just a simple slap."With that threatening look on her face, Amelia looked exceptionally intimidating. Having said that, she turned to walk down the stairs."Chris," Tania said with a frown. "That girl is…"Tania held her cheek and started to complain. "Your wife is seriously… Forget it! I don't want to hold a grudge against someone so much younger than I am. She might be jealous of Nicole, so she slapped me. I approached her out of the kindness of my heart to suggest a collaboration with their company to help them. But now…" Tania sighed. "Perhaps it was not fated to be."Christopher's face remained cold. Upon seeing Amelia walk off, he retracted his gaze and said nothing more.He turned to leave without a word."Chris, don't be mad! I'm sure she didn't mean i

Amelia couldn't help but survey this man from head to toe.Lincoln Spencer?She had never seen this man in her past life, but she had certainly heard about him.Lincoln Spencer, CEO of Navitech, was a legendary figure in the industry. He took up his father's mantle at the age of 28. Currently, he was at the age of slightly over 30. Under his leadership, Navitech had soared to greater heights as one of the leading companies in the industry.Amelia did not expect him to be here at Nova Nine in person. Why didn't Nova Nine send anyone to welcome such an important guest?"So it's Mr. Spencer." Amelia smiled apologetically at him. "Hello, I'm Amelia Sinclair from Nova Nine's technical department. I'm terribly sorry for the poor reception on our part. Someone should have received you downstairs at your arrival."Lincoln didn't appear to have any intention of blaming Amelia and simply greeted her with a smile. "Hello, Ms. Sinclair."He lifted a hand to shake hers before speaking furthe

Amelia stood up to say goodbye to everyone.Some of her colleagues were slightly tipsy, and Jasper had to drive them home.Amelia intended to hail a cab to the hospital instead of troubling Jasper further.The summer night was exceptionally hot and stuffy, but the sky looked dark and gloomy from afar, as if warning of impending rain.She had called for a cab on her phone, but no drivers were willing to take her request.Just then, a black sedan stopped right before her.The window was wound down, and Lincoln looked at Amelia from inside. "It's about to rain. Where are you headed? I can give you a lift."Amelia smiled and rejected him politely, "I'd hate to trouble you, Mr. Spencer. I've already called for a cab."He was the boss of their partner company. It didn't seem like a good idea to impose on him."There's no need to stand on ceremony with me," Lincoln said. "Come on in."Amelia glanced at her watch and then up at the dark, heavy clouds in the sky. She eventually decide

Chapter 165

Just her luck to bump into Luke.Well, it was inevitable that they would bump into each other in the same hospital.Thankfully, her mother was going to be discharged tomorrow and recuperate at home instead. Claire might have been upgraded to the VIP ward, but staying at home was bound to be more comfortable than at the hospital."Don't say that," Luke said. "Are you headed to the VIP ward? You've got Nicole to thank for making way for your mother, or you'll have to squeeze in a three-person ward. Since Nicole is injured too, she'll just have to share a room with Christopher."Amelia's face remained unchanged.She was no longer surprised at the news of them staying together.She headed upstairs with the umbrella in hand, not saying a word.Luke watched on as Amelia left, her chin stubbornly tilted up.She was a beautiful lady and looked smart to boot. If she kept silent, she could easily fool others with her appearance.A shame she was nothing but a brainless dimwit!Luke scof

Amelia didn't care about that. Instead, she walked right into the ward with the bag of supplements in hand. "Tell him that my mom doesn't need these things."Nicole stared at the supplements on the table and blinked. "Aren't these the supplements my mom didn't want?" she said in surprise. "Chris gave them to my mom, but she didn't accept them…"Amelia's brows furrowed even tighter.No wonder he was so kind-hearted as to give her mom these things.He was just treating them as a recycling centre, throwing things that others didn't want. Even the VIP ward was something that Nicole had to give way to them for.He was simply treating them as a charity case.Nicole saw the look on Amelia's face turning cold and realized that she had said something wrong. She immediately covered her mouth with a hand."Mrs. Zephyr, I was talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart," she explained. "Chris probably bought the same things. I'm sure he wouldn't give your mom the things my mom didn'
