Feeling a flash of spiteful malice, Maria turned to Jason. "Jason, I was just thinking that maybe I could help smooth things over between the two of you. After all, you two do have a—"Jason cut her off, his voice gentle. "Maria, you shouldn't go to such trouble for her. She doesn't deserve your efforts."Maria suppressed the delight welling up inside her and nodded. "Okay. I understand, Jason."Before long, everyone in the company knew that Jason, their handsome, distinguished CEO, had a girlfriend."I heard Mr. Chapman's girlfriend is the younger cousin of Michael Ludwig, the head of ML Capital. She's a true heiress with connections in the financial world.""No wonder she's so beautiful and elegant. When she smiles, she looks like an angel from heaven. And she speaks so gently and politely. She doesn't have any of that spoiled-rich-girl attitude at all. When she stood next to Mr. Chapman, with one dressed in black and the other in white, they looked so perfect together!""Hey,

Just then, another senior executive raised an objection."Mr. Chapman, Ms. Stone is a longtime employee of the company. She's worked here for years and is familiar with all our operations and business processes. I'm worried that suddenly replacing her could affect the company's business."The other executives and vice presidents nodded in agreement."That's right, Mr. Chapman. We don't know much about Ms. Ludwig's capabilities yet. Isn't it a little rash to replace Ms. Stone so suddenly?""Exactly. Everyone has seen Ms. Stone's capabilities and contributions to the company. Mr. Chapman, shouldn't you reconsider?"The few executives who spoke had always had a good relationship with Amelia.Jason glanced at Amelia with a pointed smile. His thin lips curled slightly, his expression cold and ruthless, radiating an unmistakable air of heartless indifference. It was clear what he was insinuating.He assumed Amelia had privately asked those executives to speak up for her.Amelia natur

"Amelia, I'm telling you, you're going to regret this. By the time you do, even if you get down on your knees and cry your eyes out, Jason won't forgive you."If I were you, I'd go back to Chapman Manor right now, reflect on what you've done, atone for your sins, and beg the elders for forgiveness instead of making a scene here and humiliating yourself," Howie declared.Amelia smiled faintly. "And if I were you, Howie, I'd go back right now, suck up to that illegitimate brother of yours, fawn over him, ask how he's doing, and butter him up instead of coming here, acting like a rabid dog and biting everyone around you."Howie's anger shot straight to his head. He snapped, "Amelia, you're absolutely impossible! I was trying to give you some well-meaning advice, and you turn around and mock me?"Who the hell do you think you are? You're just some trashy nobody from a backwater town! Do you think I'd even waste my time on you if you hadn't latched onto Jason? Would I have bothered sayi

During those moments, it felt as though nothing existed in the world except for the two of them. They leaned on each other and supported each other. All of their exhaustion seemed to melt away. The only thing they felt was the warmth of love, as if nothing could bring them down.Thinking back on those little moments from the past, Amelia chuckled and shook her head, laughing at how foolish she had been back then.One entire wall of the study was lined with bookshelves. Her books and Jason's were mixed together, and she had to go through them one by one. It was just like her relationship with Jason—she had to sort through it and throw it all away.After putting Ryan to bed that night, Amelia was feeling somewhat tired. Her lower back was still hurting, so she decided to finish packing the rest tomorrow.She'd asked Liam for another day off so that she could move tomorrow. She'd report to work at his company the following day.Suddenly, a car sounded outside. Amelia walked over to t

Amelia let out a mocking laugh. Because she had loved Jason before, she'd put him first and done everything with him in mind. Naturally, in his eyes, she had been understanding, generous, and kind. But now that she no longer loved him, she considered herself in everything she did. The moment she jeopardized his interests, he pegged her as unreasonable.The car stopped in front of a secluded private villa. The living room was brightly lit. Two groups of people, led by Wyatt and Maria, were facing off against each other.Jason hurried in, and when Maria saw him, she rushed into his arms in a panic. "Jason!"When she spotted Amelia behind Jason, the corners of her lips lifted slightly. She hugged Jason even tighter, her body trembling faintly.Jason gently reassured her, "Everything's okay now. Don't be afraid."Wyatt walked over to Jason and nodded respectfully. "Mr. Jason, Mr. Chapman Senior says that Ms. Ludwig would be better off going abroad.""Go back and tell Grandpa that I
