The Collins Group had always been professional. Jackson didn’t have to worry about their strength, so he nodded and said, “Of course, it depends on our strength.”
Seeing that his president had relented, Mr. Smith also chimed in. “Ms. Moore, the Collins Group has stopped the Elite International Corporation’s project. It was all done privately by my men. Please don’t take it to heart. I have already punished them.”
Of course, Emily didn’t believe what he said, but she didn’t embarrass the people of Collins Group on the spot.
Instead, she said, “In that case, let’s turn hostility into friendship. We can cooperate well and help each other in the future.”
After that, Emily picked up her glass and toasted Jackson and Mr. Smith. After she finished it, she smiled, “Then let’s go back first. See you at the bidding.”
The main reason why Emily dared to end the meal directly was that James was impatient.
Although the Collins Group and the Evans Group were equally influential in the country, the Evans Group was one of the leading enterprises in the Asia market.
The members of the Collins Group wouldn’t have any objections to her just because she had asked them to leave.
Instead, they all looked at James.
If this indifferent man did not leave, they would not dare to get up first.
“Let’s go,” James said flatly. Then, he left together with Emily hand by hand.
Everyone was stunned when they saw that the man rumored to be indifferent to women took the initiative to hold Emily’s hand.
The relationship between them seemed more intimate than they had imagined.
They didn’t know if the West city project would fall into the hands of the Elite International Corporation because of this relationship.
This was what the people of Collins Group were most worried about. Otherwise, they would not have taken extreme measures to target the Elite International Corporation.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Amelia immediately stood up.
James held Emily’s hand and walked out of the room.
Seeing their fingers clasped together, Amelia’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
She wanted to pretend nothing had happened and look away.
But when she lowered her eyes, she couldn’t help but look at his hand wrapped around Emily’s.
James grabbed her so tightly. It seemed that the people he grabbed were vital to him.
She remembered that she had accidentally bumped into his arms and was disgusted by him.
Amelia’s heart tightened a little as if it had been entangled by vines, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She had fantasized countless times that James would hold her hand like this one day, but it was all just a fantasy.
He couldn’t hold her hand in public. This was the difference between her and Emily.
When the two of them passed by her, Emily suddenly stopped.
She reminded Amelia, “Amelia, remember to send Mr. Collins is back at the hotel.”
Amelia forced herself to come back to her senses and nodded. “Okay.”
Only then did Emily hold onto James’s arm with a smile and walk towards the elevator.
They turned their backs on her, and only then did Amelia dare to look at their back.
The two of them were a perfect match.
However, she was just a passerby or a wisp of smoke.
Amelia smiled at last. This bit of pain was nothing.
As long as she had time to let it go, she would let go of James as she had forgotten about Ryan.
She looked at Jackson Collins, who was leaving the private room.
“Mr. Collins, I’ll take you to the hotel.”
Jackson knew that Emily wanted her to take good care of them, so he didn’t refuse. He nodded and followed her. Soon, they arrived at the best hotel in Arcadia.
Seeing them get out of the car, Amelia wanted to start the car and leave.
However, her heart suddenly ached, convulsing in pain. She was still stepping on the accelerator.
It hurt so much that she accidentally overexerted her strength, and the car hit the pillar at the hotel entrance.
Jackson, who had already walked far away, was so scared that his face turned pale when he heard a bang behind him.
He rushed over and saw Amelia lying on the steering wheel with a pale face. His heart tightened subconsciously.
He pulled the car door hard indifferently, but the car was locked, and he couldn’t open it.
He knocked hard on the window and said, “Ms. Garcia, open the door!”
Amelia leaned against the steering wheel, covered her chest, and took a deep breath.
She was so dizzy that she couldn’t hear Jackson’s voice. She could only hear the buzzing.
Jackson thought that she had lost consciousness, so he directly smashed the back window without a word.
After opening the door, he got into the car, opened the door of the driver’s seat, quickly and helped Amelia out.
Feeling that someone was coming to save her, Amelia grabbed his arm as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw before she died. With difficulty, she spat out the words “oxygen.”
Her heart failure, insufficient blood supply, and it was easy for her to be short of oxygen. She now has a high lack of oxygen, so she had to take oxygen.
Jackson’s mind went blank when he heard those words.
Some scenes flashed through his mind so quickly that he felt a headache coming on.
Shaking his head, he picked up Amelia and said to Mr. Smith, “Get someone from the hotel to bring me an oxygen tank.”
It would be too late for them to go to the hospital now.
Fortunately, this hotel was owned by the Collins Group.
To provide the guests with their needs from time to time, the hotel. would prepare these first aid supplies all year round.
When the hotel manager saw the headquarters president coming, he quickly sent someone to get the oxygen tank.
Jackson carried Amelia into the presidential suite she had booked for him. Amelia’s face was so pale.
Jackson was suddenly afraid she would die just like that. So he hurriedly contacted his good friend Erin Simpson, who was having an academic conference in Arcadia.
After waking up Erin, who had an extremely regular lifestyle, Jackson gave Erin the address, said, “Hurry up and save people,” and then hung up the phone.
Erin’s face was full of confusion. He threw away his phone and continued to sleep. In less than two seconds, he opened his eyes again.
“Did I hear that right? Jackson asked me to save someone?” Erin thought.
That dull person had never begged anyone before!
Who could make Jackson call him in the middle of the night?
Erin was obsessed with sive-com impulsive disorder. He had to sleep at this time. He could not sleep for more than a minute and a half.
However, he was curious about who Jackson wanted to save, so he forced himself to break the rules. He got up, picked up his car keys, and went out.
On the other hand, Erin was still on the way, and Jackson first let Amelia absorb oxygen.
The oxygen tanks were small, but it was enough to save Amelia for a while.
After taking in the oxygen, the pain in Amelia’s heart slowly subsided.
With the help of oxygen, Amelia slowly came to her senses.
She opened her eyes and saw Jackson standing by the bed with a frown. She was stunned for a moment.
So it was Jackson who had saved her just now…
She didn’t expect that the person who had wanted to kill her would save her, which surprised her.
She removed the oxygen tank and struggled to get up from the bed because she had taken enough oxygen.
Jackson pressed her down and said, “Ms. Garcia, don’t move.”
Amelia pushed his hand away and said lightly, “I’m fine. Thank you, Mr. Collins.”
After that, she stubbornly got up from the bed, put on her shoes, and held the bedside table to leave.
However, she felt dizzy again. She swayed a few times and then fell down.
Jackson caught her and placed her back on the bed.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. Have a rest.”
After he put her down, he said, He knew that she did not like him, so he did not get too close to her.
After putting her back on the bed, he took a few steps back.
He didn’t leave because he wanted to wait for Erin. At the very least, he had to let Erin, an authoritative expert, take her a look before leaving.
And for some reason, he always felt that such a scene was familiar as if he had experienced it.
However, this went against the information he had investigated before, which confused him.
Seeing that Jackson was keeping a distance from her, she didn’t force herself.
She lay down obediently and tried to case her dizziness.
The doctor had told her not to overwork herself.
However, she had been tortured by Mr. Shawn for two days and came to the company to work before she had a good rest.
It was tiring for ordinary people to travel back and forth at the airport, restaurants, and hotels, let alone her.
It was because she was overworked that her condition flared up repeatedly.
Amelia thought that she must get Emily to approve her resignation tomorrow. She would have to lie at home and wait for death in the following days.
Otherwise, she would die if no one had come to save her from her sudden illness today. Who would collect her body?
While she was letting her imagination run wild, a man in a white suit walked in.
The man was highly refined and clean, exuding a gentle and elegant temperament.
When he saw Amelia lying on the bed, he smiled.
Two deep dimples immediately appeared on his cheeks as he smiled.
“It’s a woman.”
Erin walked over with the first-aid kit and gave Jackson a look. “You’ve finally found a woman?”
“Don’t be so frivolous. Hurry up and check for Amelia.”
He had seen her faint twice today, which was not a sign of low blood sugar.
Only then did Erin calm down. He took out the stethoscope from the first-aid kit and wanted to listen to Amelia’s heart.
However, Amelia stopped him. “I have a heart attack. It’s just a sudden attack. It’s not a big deal.”
She couldn’t hide it from the doctor, so she told the truth.
She didn’t let him diagnose her because she didn’t want him to know she had heart failure.
She was afraid that Jackson would kick her again when he found out.
She didn’t have time to say goodbye to Eva. She couldn’t die like this.
Erin was a doctor. He could tell at a glance whether the patient was lying or not.
He glanced at Amelia's legs. They were swollen, a sign that she was in the terminal stage of heart failure.
This woman was only 27 or 28 years old, but her heart declined at a young age. It was a pity.
Since the patient didn’t want him to treat her, he naturally wouldn’t force her. He put away the stethoscope and looked at Jackson.
“Jackson, did you do something bad to that girl? She didn’t even let me check.”
He didn’t expose Amelia. Instead, he pretended not to know and teased Jackson.
Erin’s actions left a good impression on Amelia.
Just now, when Erin looked at her, he obviously noticed something, but he chose to help her hide it.
It seemed that this doctor had good. professional ethics.
Amelia was relieved.
Jackson, on the other hand, was still immersed in the heart attack that Amelia had said. He seemed naturally sensitive to these words and felt uncomfortable when
he heard that.
Seeing that he was frowning and looking gloomy, Erin walked over, covered his mouth, and whispered into his ear, “Who is she?”
“A friend,” he replied.
Jackson came back to his senses, looked at Amelia, and replied in a gentle voice.
“Just a friend?”
Erin didn’t believe it. Jackson never had any female friends around him. How come he had one more friend when he arrived in Arcadia?
“There’s nothing else for you to do here. You can go back.”
Jackson couldn’t be bothered to say anything else to Erin, so he waved his hand to drive him away.
“You’re letting me away when I’m done with what you said, so bad!”
Even though Erin said this, he obediently picked up the first-aid kit and walked out the door.
When he reached the door, he looked back again.
Seeing Jackson standing before the bed with his hands in his pockets and looking at the woman on the bed with a worried expression, Erin quickly took a photo with his phone.
He sent the photo to his brothers’ group chat and added. “Jackson has a woman!”
The group chat immediately burst into an uproar.
Everyone mentioned Jackson, and a few unreliable friends posted the photo on social media.
They all knew each other, and the news quickly spread to Paul.
When Paul saw that the woman on the bed was Amelia, he was shocked.
As Kevin fell from power, Amelia turned around to attach herself to Jackson. She was too fast.
Paul had changed his mind about Amelia because she had refused to take the umbrella. But now he felt she was very dishonest.
After thinking for a while, he reposted the photo to James.
Jackson was his sister’s marriage partner. How could a woman like Amelia get close to him?
It was inconvenient for Paul to teach a lesson about the woman James had once raised, so Paul could only leave it to James.
As James returned to the villa and saw this photo, his face suddenly darkened.
James quickly replied, “When did you film it?”
Paul replied, “Just now, the news went viral in the circle.”
James didn’t respond. His hand that was gripping his phone was trembling.
Of course, Amelia didn’t know that these wealthy young men were gossiping about her and Jackson.
Initially, she wanted to rest until she felt less dizzy and left, but she fell asleep unconsciously without any sign.
Jackson thought that she was unconscious, so he pushed her. When he realized she was just asleep, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Jackson frowned and looked at her for a while. Then, he tucked her in and turned off the lights before leaving.
After walking out of the presidential suite, he indifferently asked the assistant at the door, “Did I really not have a past with her?”
Zoey, his assistant, replied calmly, “Yes, didn’t old Mr. Collins took you to the orphanage a few years ago to verify it with the director?"
After he was taken back home from the hospital, Amelia came to see him.
He had just lost his memory then, so he was very strange to everything and was afraid of touching on the past.
However, Amelia didn’t care about his feelings. She came to bother him every day. He couldn’t drive her away, no matter how hard he tried.
She went back and forth, explaining only one thing to him, which was why she had to sell herself.
Everything she said was true as if everything she did was to save him.
He had no choice but to ask the Collins family to take him back to the orphanage for investigation.
The director said that Amelia had wanted to climb up the social ladder since she was a child. When Amelia saw that he had become the young master of the Collins family. She tried to take advantage of his amnesia to lie to him that she was his girlfriend.
It was said that they were not familiar with each other at all and had no past. All of this was just a lie made up by Amelia.
To investigate this matter, he even went to the hospital to verify it with others. Aside from Eva, who insisted he was unfaithful, everyone’s statement was consistent with the director’s.
However, Eva and Amelia have had a good relationship since they were young, so they could work together to lie to him.
The doubts in Jackson’s eyes gradually dissipated, but…
He looked back at Amelia, sleeping soundly on the bed, and frowned again. “I always feel that something must have happened between her and me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t still feel so uncomfortable when I heard she had a heart attack after so many years…”
Zoey glanced at him and frowned. “Mr. Collins, she’s probably doing this to attract your attention again. Didn’t she pretend to be innocent in front of you before? At that time, she didn’t succeed. Now that she has a chance to get close to you again, she can do the same thing again.”
After Zoey finished speaking, he reminded him, “Mr. Collins, you’d better be careful. Women nowadays are brilliant.”
Jackson remembered that five years ago, to help him regain his memory, Amelia had deliberately pretended to be sick in front of him. He felt that Zoey’s words were more credible. Otherwise, how could she have stopped Erin when he had just wanted to give her a check-up?
Jackson felt a headache coming on when he thought of Amelia. It had been a long time since he had felt this way.
He didn’t want to think further about his headache, so he waved his hand and said to Zoey, “Go get me a room.”
Amelia woke up and saw an unfamiliar room. She only realized she had fallen asleep in Jackson’s presidential suite.
She quickly touched her chest. There were no signs of being kicked. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
It had been so long, but she feared Jackson would kick her. The aftereffects were severe.
It was no wonder that she was afraid.
After being kicked, Jackson left her on the side of the road, dying.
She would have died if someone hadn’t passed and saved her in time.
She had never understood why Ryan, who had been nice to her, would be so cruel as to kill her.
Although she had let go of him, this matter had always weighed on her, and she couldn’t forget it.
She had kept the past in her mind and never remembered it again.
Now that she had met Jackson again, although she had calmed down, she was still slightly afraid of him.
She shook her head and stopped thinking about Jackson.
She sat up from the bed and picked up her phone to look.
She slept until 5:00 pm. Her mobile phone had countless missed calls, but none could wake her. She was really good at sleeping.
She didn’t know if she would suddenly die in her sleep.
She unlocked the phone to see who was calling as she thought about it.
She was shocked when she saw hundreds of missed calls from Mr. Shawn.
One night plus one day, not only did he make phone calls crazily, but he also sent countless WhatsApp messages.
She was sleeping so soundly that she didn’t hear anything.
She didn’t reply to his call. Instead, she clicked on WhatsApp.
At first, he said, “Send me your location.”
Then it slowly turned into, “Are you doing it with another man?”
Then it would become, “If you dare too sleep with another man, I’ll kill you.”
She felt that he was crazy, so she ignored him.
After swiping WhatsApp messages, she saw that Lily had also sent her a message asking her to return and add over her work.
She quickly got up and left the presidential suite with her bag.
As soon as she got to the elevator, Jackson came out.
“Ms. Garcia, you’re awake?”
Knowing she had woken up, Jackson quickly walked up and sized her up.
He went to see her in the morning and found she was not awake, so he didn’t disturb her.
He went to the branch office of the Collins Group for a few meetings and went back to check on her. He found that she was still sleeping,
He was too embarrassed to wake her, so he let her sleep.
Seeing that she had finally woken up, he couldn’t help but feel it was a little magical. He had never seen someone who could sleep so soundly.
Frustrated by Jackson’s gaze, Amelia hurriedly nodded.
“Thank you for letting me stay here for the night. Sorry to disturb you.”
She was about to leave when Jackson remembered what Erin had done and hurriedly stopped her.
“Ms. Garcia, I have something to tell you,” he said.
“Is anything up?”
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll treat you to a meal. Let’s talk while eating?”
Amelia was a little unhappy. How dare she dine with Jackson? If it were to happen, someone might actually kill her.
“There’s no need. Mr. Collins, you can talk here.”
Jackson rubbed his nose and felt a little embarrassed.
He took out his phone and showed Amelia the photo Erin had taken.
“Erin, the doctor who came yesterday. He was bored, so he took a picture of us and sent it to the WhatsApp group. A few unreliable friends posted it on their social media. This photo was spread everywhere last night; I only saw it today. I’m sorry.”
Amelia glanced at the photo. He was standing before the bed and looking into her eyes. It was not a big deal, so she didn’t mind.
“It doesn’t matter. Mr. Collins, you can help me deal with it.”
She believed it would not be difficult for him to delete a photo with his ability.
“I’ve already dealt with it. No one else will spread it.”
“That’s good.”
Amelia nodded and turned to leave, but Jackson stopped her out of the blue.
“Ms. Garcia, let me treat you to a meal. Consider it my apology for Erin’s rudeness.”
She shook her head. “No, thanks. I have to go to the company first.”
Jackson hurriedly said, “I saw that you weren’t awake today, so I privately called Ms. Moore and asked leave for you.”
Amelia was stunned for a moment. Lily didn’t urge her to go to the company this morning. It turned out that Jackson had helped her ask for leave.
She looked at Jackson meaningfully. She didn’t know what he meant by helping her like this. Didn’t he warn her five years ago not to bother him again? Why was he helping her now?
Jackson had invited her several times as if he wouldn’t give up until she went to dinner. He was still as stubborn as before, but he had changed badly.
Amelia wanted to know what he wanted to do, so she didn’t refuse and followed him downstairs.
As soon as they exited the elevator, they bumped into James.
James wore a black suit, and his whole body was hidden in the dim light.
The moment James saw the two of them, his deep and dark face suddenly turned indifferent.
When Amelia met his eyes, her face. suddenly turned pale.
When Amelia saw him, she panicked and dared not raise her head.
With her petite body, she subconsciously hid behind Jackson.
Amelia’s actions undoubtedly angered James even more, and the look in his eyes grew flatter.
Jackson didn’t notice anything wrong between the two of them. He stretched out his hand and greeted James politely.
“Mr. Evans.”
James glanced at his hand indifferently, “I’m a neat freak.”
His attitude was a little arrogant and rude.
Fortunately, Jackson had always been well-mannered and didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, he withdrew his hand and smiled, “It’s okay.”
James didn’t reply. Instead, he looked at Amelia, who was hiding behind Jackson indifferently.
“Ms. Garcia, you’re here too?”
After being called out, it was inappropriate for Amelia to continue hiding.
She walked out. As she saw a partner, she greeted James respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Evans.”
James turned his body slightly and sized her up.
“Ms. Garcia, you’re really something.”
After saying that, he pushed her away and walked straight into the elevator.
He seemed to have greeted Jackson to mock her.
He misunderstood her when he saw her and Jackson in the hotel.
After being misunderstood by James, Amelia wouldn’t explain anymore. They were over, and it had nothing to do with him or who she was with.
“Ms. Garcia, Mr. Evans doesn’t seem very friendly to you. You and him…”
“Everyone in this circle knows that I am a prostitute. People like Mr. Evans will naturally look down on me.”
Before Jackson could ask anything, he was interrupted by Amelia’s offish voice.
He didn’t expect Amelia to be so straightforward, and he was a little shocked.
H
owever, after the photos were spread out yesterday, several rich young men in Arcadia sent him a message saying that Amelia was Logan's woman.
Jackson had heard of Logan's deeds in the Imperial Capital.
He knew that Logan was ruthless when playing with women. The women who were willing to follow him were all for money.
Since Amelia even dared to with Logan, she was doing this for money.
It seemed that the director did not lie to him. She really wanted to marry into a wealthy family.
No wonder she disappeared five years ago when she saw that he had not been fooled.
She must have felt that he was challenging to deal with and didn’t want to waste any more time on him, so she stopped pestering him.
However, he didn’t expect Amelia to admit it herself, which shocked him.
It was rare for a woman to be so open-minded.
Seeing the change in Jackson’s expression, Amelia knew what he was thinking.
She asked indifferently, “So, do you still want to treat me, a woman who sells herself, to a meal?”
Knowing that she was a prostitute, Jackson would definitely reject her without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Jackson said firmly, “Of course.”
After that, he went straight to the hotel restaurant.
Looking at his back, Amelia was stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, she still followed him.
When the restaurant manager saw Jackson, he greeted him in person.
“Mr. Collins, this way, please.”
The manager led them to their quiet and comfortable seats. He pulled out the dining chairs thoughtfully and respectfully handed them the menu.
Jackson took the menu and asked Amelia, “What do you want to eat?”
Amelia said indifferently, “I’m not hungry. Mr. Collins, you can order for yourself.”
For patients with heart failure, their appetite would decline, and they would not be able to eat anything.
Jackson didn’t say anything when he saw how flat she was. He casually ordered a few light dishes and returned the menu to the manager.
After the manager left, Jackson picked up the water next to him and poured a glass for Amelia.
His movements were elegant, and every move he made was always filled with an excellent upbringing.
He had not changed at all. He had been different from the other children in the orphanage since he was a child.
He was silent, quiet, and polite. He was also one of the best at studying.
At that time, she felt he was the best gift God had ever given her, and she was overjoyed.
But now, she touched her chest, which was still aching faintly.
Jackson frowned slightly when he saw the light in her eyes turn dark.
“What are you thinking about, Ms. Garcia?”
“I was thinking about a sentence I saw on the Internet.”
Jackson asked with great interest, “What is it?”
Amelia said in a low voice, “The Man Dumped His Girlfriend When He Success.”
Jackson did not understand the deeper meaning behind her words, but he felt that she was hinting at him.
“Ms. Garcia, you’re not talking about me, right?”
Amelia didn’t reply. She picked up her glass and took a sip of water silently.
Jackson saw that she was silent and felt even more certain she was talking about him.
In fact, he was a little suspicious that what he had investigated was wrong, but he really couldn’t remember her.
However, when he saw her weakness last night, he was worried and even felt uncomfortable.
This feeling was authentic. Was what Amelia had said before true?
“Ms. Garcia, did you really say you’re my girlfriend?”
“No, I’m lying to you", Amelia denied it quickly.
Jackson was a little disappointed when he heard this. “Why did you lie?”
“I want to marry into a rich and powerful family,” she said with a poker face.
She felt that Jackson had asked this question to test if she remembered her warning.
He would probably kick her again if she answered or explained as truthfully as before.
It just so happened that to prevent him from suspecting the relationship between her and James, she had defined herself as a prostitute.
She could use this as an excuse to dispel his worries that she would expose her past with him.
Jackson couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
However, when he heard what she said, he was more disappointed.
It was strange. When Amelia was entangled with him in the past, Jackson felt that she was scheming.
After hearing what she said, he felt disappointed, sad, and a little unreconciled.
“Do you still want to attach yourself to me now?”
“I’m not worthy of you. Forget it.”
She replied in a flat voice with a little impatient.
That’s enough. He’s been testing her. Did he think she was idle?
Jackson’s lips curled, and he looked a little embarrassed.
In fact, he felt embarrassed when he asked this question.
How could he ask such a question?
It seemed it was time for him to go to Erin and register for neurology.
The waiter walked over with a dining cart, which dispelled Jackson’s embarrassment.
Jackson acted as if nothing had happened. He picked up the knife and fork and slowly cut the steak.
After cutting the steak, he put it on Amelia’s plate.
“Ms. Garcia, you’re too thin. You should eat more.”
Amelia had indeed lost a lot of weight compared to five years ago.
In the past, she was a little fat and looked very energetic.
But now, she was so thin that only one hand could catch her. It was no wonder that such a weak body was so sleepy.
How could Amelia have the appetite to eat? She picked up a few pieces of vegetable leaves and put down her fork.
She didn’t even touch the steak that Jackson had served her.
Jackson thought she didn’t want to eat the food he picked up because she didn’t like him, so he looked a little lonely.
After dinner, Jackson wanted to send her back, but Amelia refused flatly.
He had refused her before, so she would never return to him. She wanted to stay away from him as much as possible. Her life was more important.
After rejecting Jackson, she went to the hotel garage and took the car keys from her bag. She planned to drive the car she had driven home yesterday.
It turned out that the phone in her bag had been vibrating.
She took out her phone and saw it was a call from Mr. Shawn.
Mr. Shawn looked crazy for her, so he must want to be with her again.
But now her body couldn’t stand any more torture.
After thinking for a while, she replied on WhatsApp, “I’m so tired. Let me have a rest first. Let’s talk about it in a few days, okay?”
Mr. Shawn also had something on her that she wanted to kill Logan.
Although Logan would face a lot of problems when he woke up and would not have time to make trouble for her for the time being.
But if Mr. Shawn was unhappy and directly exposed her weakness, Logan would definitely be the first to deal with her, which was not worth the loss.
Even if she was unwilling to be tortured by Mr. Shawn, Amelia could only calm him down with good words to not disturb Logan.
After sending the message, she turned off her phone, took out her car keys, and opened the door.
Just as she was about to get into the car, a Bugatti suddenly stopped in front of her.
The car window was slowly rolled down, revealing the side of the man’s face in the dim light. It was exquisite and breathtaking.
When Amelia saw who it was, her heart skipped a beat.
She didn’t know if James was looking at her, so she didn’t dare to stay any lon She held the door and tried to get into the car.
The man’s unapproachable voice came from behind her. “Get in the car.”
Emily was stunned on the spot.
Didn’t he tell her to never appear in front of him again?
How could he let her get in the car?
Amelia looked at the man in the car. He glanced at her.
It was as if he would strangle her to death if she did not listen to him.
She struggled for a moment before walking towards the Bugatti.
She wanted to sit in the back seat, but the door was locked, and she couldn’t open it. Only the door of the passenger seat was open.
It was apparent that he wanted her to sit in the passenger seat. She was a little afraid to get so close to him, but she didn’t dare to disobey him.
Gritting her teeth, she opened the passenger seat door and got in. After she fastened her seat belt, he started the car.
It was the first time Amelia had taken his car. To be exact, he had never driven her anywhere since she followed him.
Her memories of them were all in bed, and they didn’t say much.
Strangely, he would take the initiative to approach her when their relationship was over.
She didn’t know where he wanted to take her, so she didn’t dare to ask. She could only sit in the car without saying a word.
James drove her to the seaside that had not been developed yet.
The car stopped at a dark intersection. There was not even a single street lamp.
Seeing such an environment and thinking of the news that someone had killed someone and thrown the body away, she instantly became nervous.
James didn’t get out of the car. He just rolled down the window and let the sea breeze in.
He lowered his eyes and played with his cigarette. He didn’t say anything.
Amelia found it strange and couldn’t help stealing a glance at him.
At first glance, she was sure that the corners of his eyes were cold as if he was trying his best to hold back something.
Amelia’s heart skipped a beat. There seemed to be something wrong with him.
She grabbed the seat belt tightly, plucked up her courage, and asked in a low voice. “Mr. Evans, what’s wrong with you?”
When James heard her gentle voice, his face darkened.
Seeing his expression change, Amelia suddenly didn’t dare to speak again.
She sniffed carefully. In addition to the faint fragrance in the car, there was also the smell of alcohol.
It was not very strong, but it was sure that he had drunk.
No wonder he took the initiative to come to her. It turned out that he was drunk.
Amelia sighed. “James still drives after drinking. Isn’t he afraid of being caught?” she thought.
While she was lost in her thoughts, James suddenly crushed the cigarette and looked up at her.
“Did you sleep with Jackson last night?”
When he asked this question, the corners of his scarlet eyes were filled with disdain.
Amelia stared into his eyes, trying to find something else in them, but unfortunately, there was nothing.
She suddenly felt that it was a little ridiculous. “Mr. Evans, you came to me and brought me to such a place just to ask this kind of question?”
He stared at her face and said indifferently, “Answer me.”
It was so tiring to be misunderstood repeatedly. Amelia was so tired that she didn’t want to talk.
Seeing that she was silent, he gradually furrowed his brows.
He lifted his slender fingers, pinched her chin with one hand, and said flatly, “Speak!”
His tone and actions were not soft, and there was a sense of coercion.
Amelia took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her heart, and replied indifferently, “Would you believe me if I said that I didn’t sleep with Jackson?”
He sneered, “You stayed in his presidential suite for one night and didn’t come out until the next evening. Do you think I’ll believe you?”
She swallowed her words and said, “Mr. Evans, since you think I slept with him, why do you have to ask?”
He tightened his grip on her chin and asked, “Did you sleep with him?”
She lowered her gaze and said, “Yes.”
His expression froze for a moment, and his amorous eyes were full of chill.
“Why should you sleep with him?”
“Because he is handsome and rich, which aligns with my standards of marrying into a rich and powerful family.”
He snorted. “That’s what you said before.”
She didn’t understand what he meant and asked in a daze, “What?”
He indifferently said, “You lied to me like this last time, as for Logan's things, I’ve investigated you and Logan, but he didn’t touch you. Why did you lie to me? And how dare you lie again?”
“How could he investigate me?” she wondered.
This was unbelievable to her.
