Amelia didn't think he would be so kindhearted.She turned to leave without a word.After Christopher was done trimming the tree, he headed back into the house as well.Amelia sat on the couch, chatting with Dorothy. Dorothy was holding Amelia's hand, asking her how she had been.Both ladies were delighted to see each other after a long time.Stephanie sat next to them, scoffing as she scrolled through her phone. "Grandma, others might mistake her as your biological granddaughter instead."Dorothy glanced at Stephanie and remarked, "But Mia is my granddaughter!"Once again, Stephanie scoffed. "Aren't you afraid of tongues wagging? If Amelia's your granddaughter, what does that make Chris?"Just then, Christopher walked in and put his shears down. "I'm her grandson-in-law."The smile on Dorothy's face grew wider.She teased Christopher, "You really know your place!"Amelia gave Dorothy a small smile. She didn't take this joke seriously, nor did she take Christopher's words se

"Was that Nicole?" Jasper guessed from the look on Amelia's face."Yeah," Amelia answered him as she kept her phone away. She explained sardonically, "She called to gloat about her two new partners and asked us to join their celebration dinner tonight.""Hah…" Jasper chuckled. "She might be capable enough to snatch them away, but it's another thing to maintain the partnership over the long term."She was so eager to gloat about it, as though it were a huge accomplishment.Amelia chuckled back. "We'll see about that."-Meanwhile, Luke asked Nicole eagerly, "Well?""They're not coming."Luke sipped on his wine and crossed his legs as he swirled the red wine in the glass. It was as he had expected."Naturally. Why would she have the cheek to come? Since she's incompetent, those potential partners naturally wouldn't choose to work with her."Amelia probably knew of her own incompetence and didn't want to embarrass herself by coming.He turned to Christopher."Thankfully, you'r

Luke turned around to ask Nicole and Christopher, "Was that the leader of the company in central Northon whom Amelia just met?"Nicole stood stunned for a moment, her brows furrowing. "How could that be?"That company only worked with a specific few partners. How could they possibly meet Nova Nine?"Make no mistake. I just saw him drive off in his car."Luke had doubted what he saw at first, but he was very certain about it now.Amelia turned back and looked straight into Christopher's cold, dark eyes.He asked, "Did you seal the deal?"Jasper stepped forward and said calmly, "We did. The contract's been signed."His tone grew cold as he went on, "I'm afraid you have to get ready for some heavy losses, Mr. Zephyr."Nicole's heart fell with a thud.She could feel an impending doom.If Amelia and her team managed to achieve the profits stated in the agreement, she had to quicken her pace in researching and developing new products.Otherwise, she was at risk of losing everythi

His familiar scent filled Amelia's nostrils.In less than a second, she shoved him away and knocked hard into the side of the table.The pain made her brows furrow, and the loud sound made her instinctively turn to check on Evelyn, who was still sound asleep on the bed.Evelyn was very deep in sleep and didn't even stir."When did you come in?" Amelia asked. Christopher took a step back, putting some distance between them."Why such a huge reaction?" Christopher looked deeply at her. "I just wanted to come in and help you with the windows."There was a hint of probing in his eyes. His eyes looked so intense, it felt as though he was trying to see through her."You're scared of me." It was a statement. "Or are you scared that I might do something to Evelyn?"The corner of his lips lifted in a slight smile, but it didn't really look like he was smiling. It was just a reaction that seemed to have a deeper meaning.Yes, Amelia was scared.She was afraid that the past might repe

"Nova Nine might be doing well right now, with so many companies fighting to work with you, but that might not last long."Jasper looked straight into Luke's eyes and smirked. "Given your experience in this field, you should know what it means when we eventually complete this project."It was bound to be a major milestone.Nicole stood up. "Records are meant to be shattered. No one will remain number one forever." She looked at Amelia. "Especially if the number one spot has nothing whatsoever to do with somebody."Everyone knew that credit goes to Jasper and the team at Nova Nine for the success of this project.Amelia was just parachuted in mid-way and was only responsible for doing odd jobs. She was just riding on their coattails.Nicole crossed her arms before her chest. "Having worked in Nova Nine for a day and experienced its culture, you don't seem very convincing as a superior to your subordinates, Ms. Sinclair. Your subordinates don't look happy submitting to you.""
