"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Amelia had long been accustomed to Ashley's way of acting both in public and in private.

"Stop playing dumb with me!" Ashley sneered, "You've stayed with Vince all these years just to win him back. Amelia, you deserve it too?"

"It's a matter between me and him, not you." Amelia said coldly.

Ashley raised her eyebrows slightly. "Amelia, you can't forget what happened five years ago..."

Forget? Amelia can forget anything, but she will never forget what happened five years ago in her life.

"Pregnancy out of wedlock, giving birth to a wild child that was stillborn..."

Ashley let out a cold laugh. "You probably still don't know who that wild man touched you back then? I tell you, it was a bald man weighing over two hundred pounds..."

"Ashley, are you sure the child I gave birth to was stillborn, not that you killed him with your own hands?"

Amelia looked at Ashley with a piercing gaze. "As for my child's life, I'll get it back from you sooner or later!"

"Retribution?" Ashley looked smugly at Amelia. "Amelia, you must have evidence when you speak! Who can prove that I did it? Who will believe what you say? People will only think that you, this ill-mannered woman, are jealous of your sister and thus slander me..."

Yes, without evidence, who would believe themselves? Even if all the misunderstandings were cleared up, could her relationship with Vince go back to what it was before?

The answer is no! But even though she knew the ending was set, the good memories of the past made her reluctant to leave him.

She knew that Vince hated her and that he had kept her by his side to torment her.

She had no complaints about it, and even met his torments with a sense of atonement.

Seeing that Amelia did not speak, Ashley looked even more smug and said viciously, "Just pity that newborn baby, so lovely, who died with a gentle drop and a smack..."

Before Ashley could finish, Amelia raised her hand and slapped her in the face.

She slapped her face so hard that a bright red palm print instantly appeared on Ashley's face.

Amelia said coldly, "Ashley, I will make you pay!"

"How dare you hit me?" Ashley covered her face and looked at Amelia in front of her in disbelief.

"Did I hit you? Who saw it?" Amelia retorted Ashley's previous aggressive words: "Speak with evidence!" Who can prove that I did it? Beware I'll Sue you for defamation!"

"You --"

"Well, isn't a slap enough?" Amelia touched her hand and said, "If you want to go to Vince to get sympathy, I can keep beating until you are bruised and battered, so that you will seem credible when you go to him to complain."

Amelia was certain Ashley wouldn't fight back because she had to pretend to be "weak" in front of Vince, and wouldn't it ruin her image of being "reserved and gentle" to fight her here?

Ashley had a breath stuck in her throat and couldn't swallow it, but Amelia turned her back on her own words.

She was so angry that her hands were trembling and she was gnashing her teeth in hatred.

Just as Ashley was about to hit back, Vince's voice came from behind her, "What are you doing here?"

As soon as Ashley saw Vince, she immediately returned to her gentle demeanor and walked up to him, feigned grievance, saying, "Vince, just now I was just trying to inform my sister to come to our engagement party, but she got so agitated that she actually hit me."

Looking at the red marks on Ashley's face, Vince, with an ambiguous look in his eyes, turned his head and said to Amelia in a deep voice, "Don't forget what you promised me in the first place. Find out your identity."

"Yes, President Vince." Amelia pursed her lips and responded.

Amelia thought her heart would no longer hurt, but the bitterness still welled up in waves.

He hated herself for betraying their feelings, for being pregnant with the child of a strange man, but never asked her the truth.

Amelia was sad not for his attitude, but for his trust in her.

Perhaps for him, she was actually the kind of person who was like betray, and that was why he had made the final decision without even giving a chance to explain.

"Accompany me to a party in the evening." Vince suddenly spoke to Amelia.

"Yes."

"Vince, I'll just accompany you to a place like this. Why are you taking her?" Ashley said discontentedly.

"This is work."Vince said without the slightest emotion.

Work? Oh, work again! Only Ashley knew that it was just an excuse Vince had made for himself.

All these years he has kept Amelia, this bitch, by his side simply because he still loves her! Amelia, why can't I take your place in Vince's heart no matter what I do? She hates, she hates so much! She did so many things and managed to break them apart, but why? Why she still can't get into Vince's heart...

"Get ready, the show is about to begin."

After giving Amelia his instructions, Vince left with Ashley.

Before leaving, Ashley did not forget to give Amelia a fierce look.

Amelia, if I can step on you once, I can step on you a second time! For the rest of my life, both House of Coleman and Vince are mine alone.

Amelia, why are you arguing with me? Why snatch from me!

City A, the night is like a curtain.

The banquet hall on the first floor of Saint-Yuan Hotel.

Ashley took Vince's arm and walked slowly into the banquet hall, with Amelia following behind them, looking calm.

As soon as the three appeared, they immediately drew the attention of everyone in the hall.

Especially Amelia, the moment she stepped into the banquet hall, all the vicious words drifted into her ears without missing a single one.

"Look, isn't this House of Coleman's little daughter who is pregnant before marriage? How could she have the nerve to come to such a place? If it were me, I would have crashed into it long ago!"

"How could such a despicable woman have any bottom line? Otherwise, she wouldn't play one-night stands and be pregnant with a bastard."

"Look at what she's wearing. Could she be trying to seduce a man? It's really showing off and shameless."

"I've heard that the new heir to the House of Flynn consortium will show up today too. She can't have her eyes on him!"

Come on! The House of Flynn Corporation is the number one chaebol group in City A. Their new heir, what kind of woman hasn't seen and would take A fancy to a woman like her? Are you crazy?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The crowd was talking among themselves.

Amelia pursed her lips tightly, pretended to be indifferent, looked down at the only white halter dress she was wearing, and frowned slightly.

The dress was originally paired with a white coat, but just before arriving, Ashley "accidentally" spilled coffee on it in the office, and the coat was completely stained and could no longer be worn.

Amelia wanted to go back and change into a new outfit, but Ashley forced her to get in the car on the grounds that there was not enough time.

The scene before her eyes, Amelia had mentally prepared herself for it long before she came. She had not known how many times she had encountered it in five years, but when she heard it, there was still a vague feeling of discomfort in her heart.

Even though she had done nothing wrong, she had to bear all the consequences.

Amelia knew she wasn't strong enough, but one day she would make all those who hurt her pay the price.

At this moment, Ashley held Vince's arm tightly, and from time to time, provocative and mocking glances drifted over Amelia.

The intimacy between Ashley and Vince pricks Amelia's heart, but so what? She knows that the more she loses her composure, the more she will make her enemy more arrogant.

So Amelia always responded with composure.

After all these years, she's got used to it.

Before the party began, Amelia decided to walk alone into the back garden of the hotel.

Just as she was about to step out of the small door, she heard someone shout from behind, "Mr.Flynn is here!"

In an instant, all the people in the hall rushed towards the door, and she subconsciously glanced over there and saw a tall man surrounded by stars at the door.

Because he was too far away and there were many tall bodyguards standing beside him, she couldn't make out his eyebrows and eyes at all, but the powerful aura he exuded as soon as he appeared made the air pressure in the hall drop significantly.

This is an influence that even Vince couldn't match.
