Chapter 215
Amelia wondered if Sandra was here on behalf of Monica, trying to test their attitude.
โAmelia, Landon dumped you and remarried. How can you stay so calm?โ Sandra scrutinized Amelia, a gloating smile tugging at her lips.
Amelia bit her lip, her face quickly turning pale.
Maisie darted in front of her, snapping at Sandra, โShut up! Nothing but trash ever comes out of your mouth!โ
โIโm just stating the facts,โ Sandra shrugged. โLandon has forgotten all of you. Now, Monica is the only one in his eyes and heart.โ
Amelia felt a surge of confidence as she thought to herself, โForgotten? Is this how Landonโs acting at the Montgomery familyโs place? If heโs faking amnesia, that means heโs still thinking about me.โ
โAmelia, I suggest you let it go. Just get rid of the baby and live your own life,โ Sandra said.
Sandraโs gaze fell on Ameliaโs belly.
Jealousy and hatred flickered in her eyes, hissing like a snake.
She had been abandoned by Zachary and forced to have an abortion, losing her ability to have children.
Now, she wanted Amelia to suffer the same fate.
โSandra, since youโre here on behalf of Monica, let me make one thing clear. She stole my husband, and I canโt beat herโI admit it. But!โ
Ameliaโs tone suddenly hardened, her voice cold and forceful.
โIโm never going to file for divorce! Monica can stay the other woman forever!โ
Sandra was visibly taken aback, then narrowed her eyes shrewdly. โAmelia, you were so decisive when you gave up on Zachary. So why is it that with a different man, you just canโt seem to let go?โ
โBecause Zachary just wasnโt rich enough,โ Amelia replied coldly.
Ameliaโs face was cold and pale, but the hint of pregnancy gave her a quiet, steely strength.
Sandra wasnโt buying it at all.
Sandra said, โAmelia, youโve never been the type to care about moneyโฆโ
Amelia shot back, โIf I canโt keep the man, why not keep his money as payback?โ
After saying that, Amelia quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Maisieโs plan to stake her claim on the Kingsley family finally came in handy. To keep Landon from being exposed, she had to stir up some trouble in Norava.
Daniel chimed in, โOur family might not need the money, but the more we can take from that scumbag, the better! Letโs make him go broke and starve with his mistress.โ
The two of them played off each other so well that Sandra actually believed them.
Sandra scoffed, โYouโre so naive! The Montgomery family isnโt hurting for money. No matter what you do, it wonโt make a dent!โ
โOh, is that so? Then just watch me,โ Amelia retorted. โIโm not like youโlost without a man. Even if I lose Landon, Iโm still Mrs. Kingsley, running Kingsley Group!โ
Sandra flinched, Ameliaโs words struck a nerve.
At this point, she truly had nothing left in this world.
Her family was gone, her love life shattered. The so-called glamorous life she had now was just the result of slaving away for Monica.
However, for Amelia, even after Landon dumped her, she was still living her best life.
If she took over Kingsley Group, sheโd be Mrs. Kingsley, wife of a man worth tens of billions of dollars. Even without Landon, sheโd still be standing at the very top of Norava.
โHow can peopleโs lives be so different?โ Sandra thought bitterly.
The more Sandra thought about it, the angrier she got. Her fake sense of superiority crumbled, and she snapped, โAmelia, youโre just an abandoned woman. Hah!โ
Amelia didnโt hesitateโshe slapped her hard across the faceโฆ
Edith, whoโd never seen Amelia get physical before, jumped in shock.
Sandra was left dumbfounded, clutching her cheek in disbelief for a few seconds before she finally exploded, โAmelia! How dare you slap me?โ
โDamn right I slapped you!โ Ameliaโs pale face was frosty cold. โNow get the hell out of my sightโor Iโll slap you every single time you show up!โ
โGet her!โ Sandra barked.
Sandra backed away as her bodyguards immediately stepped up, ready to start a fight.
โAmelia, Iโm not the same Sandra you used to know!โ Sandra shouted.
โYeah, I can tell. Youโre even dumber and more of a wreck than before!โ Amelia shot back.
Amelia stepped back as Daniel strode forward, sneering, โYou want to start a fight on my turf? Fine, Iโll give you exactly what you want!โ
With a single clap, dozens of well-trained men in black appeared, instantly surrounding Sandra and her crew.
โBeat them! Life or death, I donโt care!โ Daniel barked.
At his command, the brawl broke out.
Sandra was completely dumbfounded.
She might have the Kington Gang backing her up, but sheโd only brought a handful of people with her.
It didnโt take long before her bodyguards couldnโt protect her anymore.
She tried to make a run for it, but out of nowhere, someone kicked her hard. She crashed to the ground, and a storm of kicks followed.
All she could do was curl up and shield her face.
By the time the beating finally stopped, Sandra was barely hanging on, gasping for breath.
โSandra, you brought this on yourself,โ Amelia said, standing over her as Sandra lay there, her face swollen beyond recognition. Amelia was savoring the sweet taste of payback.
โLandon was rightโshowing mercy to your enemies is just being cruel to yourself,โ she thought.
If sheโd just sent Sandra to prison back then, none of this mess wouldโve happened.
It might be late, but at least she was making up for it nowโbetter late than never.
โYouโฆ youโฆโ Sandra groaned weakly, feeling like she was about to die.
โNo way. That canโt happen. This is a law-abiding societyโgetting into a fight is illegal. Thereโs no way sheโd actually dare to kill me,โ Sandra tried to reassure herself.
โI was going to spare your life, but you never learn,โ Amelia said coldly, twisting the ring on her finger to reveal a tiny, nearly invisible poison needle.
Her dark eyes brimmed with murderous intent.
Even back at the Kyle family estate, when she went after Aiden, she hadnโt radiated this much killing intent.
Sandra was terrified. โWhatโฆ what are you going to do?โ
โIโm going to kill you,โ Amelia said coldly, extending her delicate fingers to show off the ring. โYou want to know how I took down Aiden? It was this very ring.โ
Sandraโs eyes went wide in utter disbelief.
โCould it really be that simple?โ she thought, panic flooding her mind.
โAiden had the Kington Gang to back him up, so he got the antidote. But you? You can just wait for the poison to finish you off,โ Amelia said, her voice icy.
โAmelia, thatโs against the lawโฆโ Sandra stammered.
She tried desperately to curl up and scoot backward, wanting nothing more than to escape.
But after being kicked so many times, she had no idea how many bones were brokenโher whole body was in so much pain, she was completely numb.
โI dare,โ Amelia said, stalking closer with every step.
Sandra was so terrified that her mind went utterly blank.
Just as the poison needle was about to stab into Sandra, Daniel was a step fasterโhe grabbed Ameliaโs hand. โAmelia, hold on.โ
โDaniel, let me kill her!โ Amelia snarled through gritted teeth. โSheโs the one who ran her mouth at the Kyle family and got Aiden to target me!โ
โYour hands are too beautiful to be stained with blood,โ Daniel said softly. โBeing a Kington Gang thug is enough to get her killed.โ
โDanielโฆโ Amelia called out, her voice trembling with emotion.
โHand her over to the Flying Tiger Sect,โ Daniel ordered coolly.
Daniel slowly pulled Amelia back, giving a subtle nod for his men to drag Sandra away.
As a member of the Kington Gang, Sandra knew all too well what the Flying Tiger Sect meant.
She let out a desperate scream. โAmelia, I was wrong! Please, just spare me this onceโI swear Iโll never do it againโฆโ
Amelia closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.
She kept them shut, only opening them again when Sandraโs screams finally faded away.
โAmeliaโฆโ Maisie said worriedly.
Amelia gave a radiant smile. โIโm fine. Iโve wanted to settle things with her for a long time, and today was the perfect chance.โ
โYeah.โ Maisie hugged her tightly, not asking anything more.
Edith came over and wrapped her arms around them too.
Daniel started to reach out for a hug, but remembering propriety between men and women, he awkwardly pulled his hand back.
โAre you seeing this, Landon? Sheโs gotten so strong, all for you! Come on, hurry up and get your memory back!โ Daniel thought to himself.
In Dreicean, Landon stared at himself in the mirror, his face dazed and stunned, as if he couldnโt recognize the man looking back at him.
After a moment, he reached up to the back of his head, and a blinding, excruciating pain shot through his entire bodyโnumbing him from his scalp all the way down to his heels.
