Amelia Wright really packed her things and moved to the Wright family.
Of course, for safety’s sake, she brought Hailey Smith along.
Basil Smith wanted to follow, but Oliver Wright silently refused.
He had no standing nor reason, and Amelia wouldn’t want to bring Basil Smith anyway.
As soon as Amelia entered the Wright family, before she could even unpack her luggage, Oliver Wright couldn’t help but speak: "Amelia, you should start working at the company tomorrow. I’ll give you the position of design director. In our own company, you can wield your talents freely."
Amelia directly refused: "No need, I’m still in school and don’t want to get too involved in work."
Oliver Wright was slightly angry, knowing that the current Amelia was no longer the easily deceived Amelia from before, especially since he had once calculated against her ruthlessly.
If it were up to Oliver Wright, he would have had the heart to kill Amelia.
But Amelia was too valuable to him; he had to maintain this facade of peace.
Now that Amelia was divorced from Young Master Shaw, with no one to rely on, agreeing to come back with him must be for some benefit.
Oliver Wright smiled and said, "Indeed, there’s no rush while you’re still a student. Recently, the elders of the Smith family have hinted to me that Marsh Smith is considering proposing to Ava Wright. But I know your intentions, so I’ve decided it would be best for you to marry into the Smith family."
Amelia paused in her packing, feigning surprise: "Really? But would the Smith family want to marry a divorced woman?"
Oliver Wright said confidently: "As long as you’re willing, that’s a minor issue. I will find a way to make it happen."
Amelia smiled faintly: "Is Mr. Wright planning another proxy marriage?"
Letting her replace Ava Wright to marry Marsh Smith.
Oliver Wright’s expression changed slightly; the term "proxy marriage" really hit his sore spot.
It seemed like all the changes began with the proxy marriage.
Now, just hearing those two words gave him a heart attack.
But at this moment, he could only force a smile: "The proxy marriage before was all Bess Bennett’s idea. I know you have a grudge; I will try to make it up to you in the future. This time the proxy marriage is different. It’s for your own good."
Amelia nearly laughed out loud; Oliver Wright was truly something, being able to endure after she’d schemed against him like that.
Claiming it was for her own good was just a ploy to get her designs, for more scheming in the future.
Amelia neither agreed nor refused, changing the subject: "I still have some unused design drafts here; Mr. Wright can take them to the company if needed."
Oliver Wright quickly explained: "Amelia, I’m not doing all this for just a few design drafts. Although you were just adopted, as the saying goes, the nurturing grace surpasses the birth grace. It’s been many years, and there are feelings. I really wish you well now."
Amelia replied coolly: "Hmm, I understand."
Of course, it wasn’t just for a few design drafts; it’s more likely for the Allen family.
To trick her into coming back, to work for the Wright family, to squeeze out every bit of her worth completely.
Oliver Wright heard Amelia’s perfunctory reply.
But it didn’t matter; once she actually married Marsh Smith, her attitude would return to what it was before.
He needed to speed up communications with the Smith family.
Ava Wright, that useless woman, couldn’t even settle Marsh Smith after spending so much money on cosmetic surgery.
The reason for the proxy marriage is that Marsh Smith’s parents would never agree to him marrying a divorced woman. But as long as Marsh Smith cooperates, it will be easy.
All of this depends on Ava Wright persuading them, which seems to require more money. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel·fiɾe·net
Whatever Oliver Wright was thinking, Amelia didn’t know, and she didn’t have the time to guess.
After taking the design drafts, Oliver Wright didn’t linger and left.
The small room Amelia used to live in, even smaller than a maid’s room, had been burned to the ground. She now moved to Ava Wright’s room on the second floor.
To show his importance to her, Oliver Wright had agreed to her staying in Ava Wright’s room without hesitation.
Amelia was clear in her heart; it wasn’t just about a room. If necessary, Oliver Wright was the type of person who would use his own daughter as a stepping stone.
After Oliver Wright left, Amelia had Hailey Smith call in a renovation company.
She boldly had Ava Wright’s room completely demolished and renovated, and all of Ava’s belongings were moved to the storage room.
Since Oliver Wright was pleading with her, she’d be arrogantly at her leisure.
This commotion alerted all the servants of the Wright family.
Everyone was astonished, watching the adopted daughter who used to be oppressed in silence now returning in such a manner.
But seeing Amelia so brazenly dismantling things, no one dared to stop her for a time.
Until a young girl angrily shouted: "Stop, what are you doing? Are you crazy? How dare you dismantle the young lady’s room? Who gave you permission to throw those things away?"
The maids of the Wright family exchanged glances with each other.
Amelia heard the commotion and slowly walked out, instructing the renovation team to continue.
As soon as the girl saw Amelia, she was furious: "Amelia, you bitch, how dare you mess with Ava Wright’s room!"
This girl was Jane Taylor, the daughter of the Wright family maid, Joy.
Joy was indeed expelled, but her daughter Jane Taylor remained.
Joy had been with the Wright family for many years, and Jane Taylor, who had been moving around the Wright family since she was in her teens, later studied landscape design. She was responsible for the garden of the Wright family’s villa.
However, Jane Taylor always followed Ava Wright, considering herself not merely a servant, almost envisioning herself as a young lady of the Wright family.
Because many times, Jane’s treatment in the Wright family was considerably better than Amelia, the adopted daughter.
Jane Taylor had been studying abroad and only recently returned, knowing Mrs. Wright and her mother leaving the Wright family was largely related to Amelia.
Seeing Amelia so daring, Jane began berating her without regard.
Amelia sneered, mocking: "I thought you were some young lady; turns out you’re just a maid."
"Amelia, you shameless bitch..."
"Hailey Smith, hit her!"
Jane grew up hearing words like bastard and illegitimate child from Joy, and they came readily to her lips.
But the current Amelia, except when facing Godfery Shaw or Julius Shaw, does not tolerate anyone outside.
Hailey Smith had already approached Jane at the sound of her insults, and immediately upon Amelia’s command, he raised his hand and slapped her.
He said nothing about not hitting women; if the Young Madam said hit, he hit.
Hailey Smith’s strength was substantial, and Jane’s face was immediately swollen from the slap.
She couldn’t believe what had happened: "My mother never hit me, and yet, Amelia, you dare to have me beaten."
Amelia looked at Jane with eyes full of malice, indifferently saying: "I dared to hit Ava Wright; who do you think you are?"
Jane was scared and stepped back a half step, "You..."
Amelia coldly said: "Hailey Smith, if she dares to say another word, hit her again."
Jane covered her mouth.
Amelia impatiently said: "Throw her out."
