CHAPTER 111: CHAPTER 111: THE SHOW BEGINS

Amelia Wright, caught in this inexplicable atmosphere, finished the meal shoulder to shoulder with Godfery Shaw, and only then remembered that she had come up to get her wound dressed by Basil Smith.

But she saw Godfery Shaw already had the medicine box out, intending to change her dressing.

Amelia frowned and asked, "Where’s Basil?"

Godfery Shaw answered without any guilt, "Busy."

Amelia accepted this reason; indeed, Basil was very busy.

But she didn’t think, could an assistant like Basil be busier than Godfery Shaw?

Godfery Shaw sat in front of Amelia, carefully uncovered the bandage on her face, revealing the long wound beneath.

The wound was not deep. Amelia had intentionally avoided it just when Ava Wright was about to apply force.

But the wound on such a fair face did look somewhat shocking.

Godfery Shaw’s voice was suppressed as he said, "Amelia, don’t hurt yourself anymore."

Amelia was slightly surprised; was her acting that bad? Godfery Shaw actually discovered she did it on purpose.

It seemed like this face really got hurt for nothing.

Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Amelia coolly said, "Back then, when you wanted me to repay your fiancée’s injury, isn’t this just appropriate now?"

Amelia knew Godfery Shaw liked her, but she also thought maybe he didn’t like her that much. When he mistakenly thought Emily Allen was her illegitimate child, he could immediately announce a divorce, decisively engage with another woman, and wield a utility knife at her face on the racetrack to defend Evelyn Dawson.

She wasn’t afraid of pain, nor disfigurement, only cared about Godfery Shaw’s attitude at that moment.

In this world, only those whom Amelia cared about could truly hurt her.

Unluckily, Godfery Shaw was the only one besides her family.

But even when hurt, Amelia never thought of revenge; she pretended to be cold-blooded and distant, desperately controlling her hostility, unwilling to hurt Godfery Shaw even a bit.

Godfery Shaw’s hand suddenly froze and fell silent. He had never bothered to explain himself, but now he wanted to explain, yet could not.

The presence of Evelyn was necessary, it was for the Shaw family’s sake. These risks could not involve Amelia.

Godfery Shaw remained silent, and Amelia no longer spoke.

The medical iodine applied to the wound hurt a little.

Just like the feelings between them: being together hurt, staying away hurt too, and there was painful struggle.

Godfery Shaw gently covered Amelia’s wound with a clean bandage again.

He carefully mended his treasure.

After re-bandaging, they didn’t say a word, and Amelia stood up and left.

Exiting the office, Amelia saw Hailey Smith and a few of Godfery Shaw’s trusted aides whispering together and, seeing her appear, Hailey immediately kept her distance.

Amelia suddenly understood the previously confusing matters.

Back then, when Godfery Shaw swung the knife at her, perhaps Hailey was arranged to be there.

Hailey shielded her from the knife, resisted Godfery Shaw, and naturally defected to follow her.

But now, with Hailey boldly following her to Cloudglow and no one causing Hailey trouble, and Godfery Shaw’s trusted aides treating Hailey the same as before, this was not an attitude towards a traitor.

This could only mean Hailey’s defection was fake!

When Hailey informed her to go upstairs to change the dressing, unsurprisingly, it was also arranged by Godfery Shaw.

Godfery Shaw never intended to hurt her, even for his current fiancée Evelyn.

So why didn’t Godfery Shaw explain when facing her question? What on earth was he thinking? Why was he doing this?

Godfery Shaw could not have known that with this small detail, Amelia had already guessed the truth almost perfectly.

He sat quietly in his office, considering the future distance between him and Amelia.

If Amelia would rather hurt herself to keep her distance, then he couldn’t get too close...

Amelia thought of these matters while heading towards the elevator.

Hailey quickly followed, feeling somewhat anxious. Seeing that the Young Madam didn’t question him about anything, Hailey assumed she hadn’t noticed anything.

Amelia didn’t dwell on Godfery Shaw’s attitude; she stayed busy in the company all day and clocked out on time.

Sarah Bennett, overwhelmed with work, continued to work overtime in Amelia’s office until very late.

The people in the design department assumed Amelia was deliberately making things difficult.

The same happened the next day.

And the third day as well.

Amelia clocked in and out on time every day, taking care of herself perfectly.

Sarah Bennett, working late into the night every day, was visibly worn out.

The entire design department was silently angry, and Supervisor Bennett, already known for a bad temper, didn’t dare to ask questions when being put through such difficulties.

Supervisor Wright was as cold as ice, making it even harder to ask anything.

Until a few days later, when the final drafts were completed, all the details and materials confirmed, and the other department heads were instructed to begin construction, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

This is finalized?

The construction can begin directly?

Everyone couldn’t help but eagerly question Sarah Bennett.

"Miss Bennett, is it really finalized like this? What have you been doing these days? Are you sure it’s ready for construction? These orders start in the millions; if there’s a mistake, it’ll cost a fortune."

Sarah, with large dark circles under her eyes and drooping short hair, hadn’t given up on her bold red lipstick.

In a weary state, she didn’t want to say much and directly snapped, "Just arrange it as told. Why so much gibberish, or do you need me to do it myself!"

"No, no, Miss Bennett, we’ll arrange it right away."

Sarah didn’t want to talk at all now.

What could she say, that she worked overtime until midnight and still hadn’t completed what Amelia did by five?

She couldn’t afford to lose face like that!

Since Amelia changed her dressing the last time, she hadn’t been to the top floor.

Basil called her twice more, but she didn’t go, bought her own bandages, and changed her own dressings.

Until her wound finally scabbed over, no longer requiring bandages.

Everyone saw the long scar on Amelia’s face.

But no one dared to ask.

Most didn’t dare to inquire.

Those who dared wouldn’t ask, fearing it would upset Amelia.

After all, with such a scar on the face, what woman wouldn’t care.

But Amelia truly didn’t care.

She didn’t care much about her own life, so how could she care about her face.

Only Hailey Smith became increasingly anxious as Godfery would spend a few hours each night watching over the Young Madam in the old part of town, fearing what might happen if the Young Madam found out. She might kill him for being an insider!

Time passed little by little, and the few pieces of jewelry from Cloudglow were completed, the beauty of the final products astonishing everyone at Cloudglow.

It had to be admitted that Supervisor Wright was truly a genius.

No matter which company she would go to, fear she would be wanted everywhere. How could they not be pleased, how could they not have the right to be dissatisfied!

Even Sarah Bennett, who had the biggest complaints about Amelia, quieted down after a few days of being pushed to her limits.

Not long after, the quiet Wright family finally made movements.

The Wright family was going to hold a new product launch, scheduled for three days later.

Upon receiving the news, Amelia slightly curled her lips.

It’s coming.

The show is about to begin.
