Poisoned?Amelia glanced at the glass that was shattered and at the broken glass and milk that had spilled on the ground.“She poisoned the milk?” Amelia asked to be sure that she had heard well.Nodding her head, her eyes squinted. “Yes, it is poisoned. Uncle asked me to interrogate Mara, and when I did, she told me what she poisoned.”It was too much for Amelia to bear; she couldn't stay a minute with that girl in the house. Her life was taken, and so was the life of her baby.“Viktor, could you tell Leonid to get her out of the house?” Amelia asked.Mila raised her hand. “Would it be okay if I broke one of her hands before she left?”"No, Mila, that is not ladylike.” Amelia corrected her.Pouting, she grumbled. “Who cares if it is not ladylike? She tried to hurt you, and you want to let her go? That's stupidity; she is going to come back for you, and at that time we might not be able to save you.”Amelia stared at the girl in front of her. Mila had a point, if she let Mara go. Mara
“What else happened?” Leonid questioned. “I can figure out who it was.”Viktor cleared his throat before glancing down at the food that was in front of him. He pushed it far away from himself in order not to keep looking at it.“The plan was to send Hannah to the hospital to create the reputation that she was crazy. In the process, the Don's cooperation, which had solely focused on Hannah's lifestream as their main source of advertisement, would be affected. After that scandal, the Don's cooperation lost a lot of sales and brand deals. Their consumers claimed that they had nothing to do with them since a lunatic was the one advertising the product.” Viktor explained. “I think the person was trying to kill two birds with one stone.”“Did they succeed?” Leonid inquired.Viktor nodded his head. “Definitely, Hannah's reputation is ruined, and she wouldn't be able to make up for her social life. Brad Company had gone bankrupt, and all his company's shares were bought tonight. All of his ac
The word rang in the air, and an eerie silence filled the room. Everyone stared at Leonid like he had said something huge.Viktor's mouth was hanging open as he glanced at Leonid. Shaking his head, he tried to figure out what was happening.Stuttering, Viktor's eyes widened. “Adopt…her?”Clearly, no one in the room had expected him to say that. They were staring at him with their eyes wide open.“Yes, I just said that I was going to adopt her. Is there anything wrong with it?"Leonid peered at them as he waited for their response. “She is getting along with the young Miss, and she really cares about us. Since we can't send her back, we could adopt her.”“Are you sure of what you are saying?” Viktor inquired. “She is Yuri's daughter, and if you adopt her, she will become the first daughter of Vanderbilt's.”“I know that.” Leonid shrugged.“The Vanderbilt's had never had a daughter throughout history. If you adopt her, you are willing to let her be the first daughter of Vanderbilt's fam
The next morning, Amelia was already up making breakfast. She was making lots of breakfast since Finn and Rose were visiting.“Good morning, young miss.” Satan walked into the kitchen, cracking his knuckles.She turned her head to look at him. “How is the morning going?”Covered in sweat, he reached for the refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of water.“Pretty good, miss.” He wiped his lips with the corners of his arm. Only to cover his lips with sweat."Morning, young miss.” Saint and Anger chanted as they headed for the refrigerator. They were also covered in sweat.Both men grabbed a bottle of water each and drank from it. In a few seconds, ten bottles of water were gone.“What are you making?” Satan inquired. “Can I help?”Anger picked up all the empty bottles and tossed them in the trash can. One missed the can and landed on the floor. Amelia glared at him, and he immediately picked it up.“Sorry.” He muttered before throwing it in.She glanced at Satan, who was waiting for her
Mr. Terry Bartram sat across the table, his hand on his chin as he pondered what to do. Present as the table was his son, Jade and Brad who was his daughter ex-fiance.Although food was laid out on the table, none of the men touched it. They all lacked the appetite to eat.“How do we get her out of that asylum?” Terry demanded. “Her public image is already damaged, but we can still save it by taking her out. She isn't a lunatic.”Fists tightening, Jade muttered, “I am going to kill her if I do find her.”“Jade…,”“Brad told her to apologize, didn't he? She decided to go against him and attack the lady.”“I am sure that the lady did something first.” Terry supported his daughter. “Hannah never attacks someone unless the person is taking her stuff.”“You are disgusting,” Jade blurted out, his eyes dark. “You spoil her and expect her not to be freamed. Honestly I ma not surprised that she got the taste of her own medicine.”“Hannah is my daughter; I have to take care of her.” Teddy purre
“Who is he?” Rose whispered to Amelia as she glanced at the young man sitting across the table.He was in a discussion with Leonid, and Viktor was going into their conversation. It only made Amelia wonder what kind of a kid Leonid was in high school.“That's Finn, my husband's best friend.”“Oh,” she muttered before she continued eating.Everyone was at the dining table, including the guards. “I didn't expect you to tell the difference between Satan and Saint.”Rose rolled her perfect, round, big eyes. “It is no big deal and was super easy. I already saw this picture, and I know that Satan has a rakish appearance that is cute and adorable.” She giggled as she began filling Amelia's plate with food.Mila was on the table too, and this time she was on Rose's phone trying to conquer a game that she was playing.“Also, did you adopt that little cutie?” She inquired as she gestured using her eyes.”Amelia shook her head. “No, I haven't thought about adopting her. The Vanderbilts are seriou
“I'll get her,” Rose told Amelia. “Get changed.”Amelia nodded and was dressing up when Rose left the changing room. Meira had a hand on her waist as she waited for them to step out. As soon as she spotted Rose, she opened her mouth to speak, but Rose beat her to it.“Seems like you wear decent clothes now.” She glanced at the top that Meira had worn over her torn gown. “What do you want to tell me?”“I knew that it was that person in there who sent Hannah to the asylum.” Meira accused. “You have to bring her out of here. I don't care if she is pregnant or not. I am going to show her a taste of her own medicine, although Hannah has failed to kill the baby. I might be the one to do it.”Rolling her eyes, Rose leaned in closer to Meira, who stepped back in surprise.“What are you doing?” Meira demanded.An evil glint appeared in Rose's eyes. “I see what's happening here. You are in a one-sided love with your favorite livestreamer. What would you do if I told you that she is straight and
Moving swiftly, Rose caught the blade in between her fingers. Twirling, she threw the knife back at the sender. The knife hit Meira at her other shoulder; blood filled her mouth and rolled out of her lips.Amelia, who had been holding her breath, finally took in the air. Satan and Saint wanted to end Meira there and then, but they didn't want to draw more attention to Amelia.“Thank you.” Amelia gazed at Rose. “That was a quick catch.”“It was nothing.” Rose rolled her eyes and held Amelia's hand. She pulled Amelia outside the female section and glanced back at Meira, who was already spitting blood. “I guess she poisoned that knife, and now she can't get the antidote.”“Why can't she get the antidote?” Amelia inquired, turning her head back to look at Meira.“That's because I have it with me.” Rose raised a bottle for Amelia to see. “She dug her own grave, even though she was rushed to the hospital. She would never survive.”Turning her head back toward the path, Amelia raised an eyeb
