CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 89: PLEASANT COOPERATION

Amelia Wright had no idea what Godfery Shaw was planning.

After such a scene that day, how could he appear before her so calmly, so ruthlessly ask her to come to his company!

If there was another woman by his side now, why not just get a divorce!

The psychological fortifications she had built over many days were easily shattered by Godfery Shaw.

She didn’t want any entanglement with Godfery, but after painstakingly acquiring the Wright family’s shares, she couldn’t just give them back so easily.

Amelia took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said, "Fine, I can come to your company! But I don’t like others interfering with my work."

"Fine, I will have Basil Smith arrange it."

"If I happen to do anything while leaning on the Shaw Corporation, Young Master Shaw, you must forgive me."

"Do as you please."

Amelia seemed to be restrained by Godfery, inexplicably irritated, snapped, "Let’s go, has Young Master Shaw taken a liking to Boss Walker’s restroom?"

Seeing the sharp-tongued Amelia, Godfery, from an angle she couldn’t see, had a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He couldn’t openly protect her for now, but how could he watch her be bullied?

Even if it meant using threats, he had to keep her under his wings.

Amelia, wait for me.

Amelia and Godfery left the restroom.

In the meeting room, it was clear that Basil had already said something to Boss Walker, as he was sitting there, face pale, not daring to move, with blood on his legs.

As soon as he saw Amelia come out, Boss Walker scrambled to his feet and knelt before her with a thud, "Miss Wright, it was my moment of madness, please forgive me, it was my mistake."

Amelia glanced at Basil before saying to Boss Walker, "Failing to hire me as your company’s design director was indeed your mistake."

Hearing this, Boss Walker was even more panicked.

"Miss Wright, please spare me, our small company cannot withstand the Shaw family’s pressure!"

"I’m not pressuring you, you just missed your chance to soar, unfortunately, you didn’t grasp it."

Boss Walker didn’t understand what this meant.

Only much later did he realize, as he watched Amelia’s designs become highly sought after, what kind of opportunity he had missed due to his lechery.

The three of them left, exiting the building.

Before Amelia left, Godfery extended his left hand to her, "Pleasure working with you."

Amelia raised an eyebrow and then sarcastically extended her hand, "Pleasure working with you."

Their palms met.

Godfery’s hand was slender and warm.

Whereas Amelia’s hand, with the wound across the palm already scabbed over, looked like shattered porcelain, carrying a sort of desolation.

Amelia gently squeezed and then withdrew her hand.

But that brief contact was enough to make Godfery ache for a long time.

It was as though he was being masochistic, finding such a legitimate excuse to touch her, to touch a wound he couldn’t care for.

Amelia didn’t want to stay long, withdrew her hand, and turned to leave.

After walking a distance, she touched her abdomen, and the coldness in her eyes softened.

Watching Amelia’s back, Godfery said to Basil, "The necklace Marsh Smith wanted to give her was inappropriate, I selected some jewelry, have someone deliver it to her as... employee benefits."

Basil: "..."

What kind of boss gives such extravagant employee benefits...

It wasn’t until Amelia’s figure was out of sight that Godfery turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Two people going in opposite directions could hardly follow the same path.

...

Elsewhere, Marsh Smith, unable to find Amelia, was somewhat annoyed, deciding to look for another opportunity next time.

And Ava Wright was even more annoyed.

She couldn’t accept that Marsh Smith actually liked Amelia.

Marsh had always treated her as a benefactor, always pursuing and worshipping her, and now it was as if he’d betrayed her.

And infuriatingly, Amelia mocked her for having no money!

As a young lady of the Wright family, raised like a princess, Amelia, just a lowly adopted daughter, dared to mock her lack of money.

Consumed by anger, Ava contacted the Allen family in Capital City.

Claiming she could provide a childhood photo of the Allen’s daughter, she boldly demanded twenty million.

She thought there would be some negotiation.

But unexpectedly, the Allen family was so generous, they actually spent twenty million on a single photo.

Looking at the balance in her account, Ava laughed with delight, "The Allen family is really rich and easy to fool."

With the money, Ava immediately arranged with friends to purchase that diamond necklace.

Receiving a wave of admiration.

Given the chance, she planned to show it off in front of Amelia, to let that daring b**** see if she could afford it!

Enjoying the taste of success, Ava continued using various pieces of information about Amelia, repeatedly extracting fifty million from the Allen family.

The Smith family behind Marsh was insignificant in comparison, so forget about them.

Dressed in luxury brands and styled increasingly maturely, Ava mingled within the upper circles.

She planned to keep the Allen family of Capital City dangling, trading bits of Amelia’s childhood for benefits.

After all, she knew Amelia through and through and could pretend to be the Allen family’s daughter.

...

Meanwhile, at the Allen family in Capital City.

Seeing these scattered photos and small items, the entire Allen family was extremely excited.

"Look, really look, she truly is our child, this is the necklace I personally put on her when she was one year old!"

"Grace, don’t cry yet, having news is a good thing, I’ve checked, the photos were mailed from Riverwood City."

"I want to find someone, I need to go to Riverwood City to find our child."

Beside them, Edward Allen looked at his parents like this, feeling very heartbroken. For the past decade, every time they received news, regardless of its authenticity, they would try to verify it.

Sometimes, even knowing it was fake, they would hold onto a sliver of hope and go to check.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Their parents were getting older and couldn’t withstand such blows repeatedly.

Edward spoke up, "Mom and Dad, I’m currently on vacation, let me go to Annlin City this time."

Seeing his parents not respond.

Edward continued, "I’ve always had good luck, perhaps if I go, I might bring back my sister."

Hearing him say this, Mr. and Mrs. Allen agreed.

Maybe their son did have better luck, perhaps he truly would bring her back!

Whether out of superstition or for good fortune, who knows, maybe she really would be found!

Mr. and Mrs. Allen clutched the photo tightly, agreeing to let their son travel to Aning City.

Ava didn’t expect that with just a few photos, the Allen family would directly come to Riverwood City in this vast world.

Amelia was also unaware of all this. The first thing she did after being reborn was severing the adoptive relationship; she wouldn’t be as easily deceived by the Wright family as in her previous life, endlessly demanding from her biological parents.

She thought that by doing this, the Wright family wouldn’t dare to provoke her biological parents for the time being.

But she hadn’t anticipated that while the Wright couple refrained from causing trouble, provoked in this life, Ava took the initiative to stir things up.

Using such a lowly method to swindle money.

Even more unexpected was that her relatives, whom she didn’t plan to reunite with in this lifetime, were on their way to Riverwood City.
