CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: ANOTHER HOLE IN THE HEART

Doris Dunne hurriedly bent over to apologize, "Young Master Shaw, I... I was just joking."

Godfery Shaw shook the wine glass in his hand, his tone inexplicable as he said, "You have to find the right person to joke with!"

Doris Dunne began to sweat on his forehead, he didn’t even dare to wipe it, nodding continuously, "Yes, yes, yes, I won’t dare to joke with Young Master Shaw again."

With such a sudden event, everyone present stopped talking and looked over.

They secretly thought Doris Dunne had no sense of self-preservation, daring to joke with Young Master Shaw, no wonder the Dunne family was declining year after year.

Everyone thought Godfery Shaw’s sudden anger was because Doris Dunne spoke out of turn.

Only Amelia Wright keenly sensed that Godfery Shaw was rescuing her from the situation.

But she didn’t need it.

Nor could she accept it.

Godfery Shaw called her here, if only to humiliate her, that wouldn’t be an issue. But if they were to cut ties completely, he couldn’t treat her kindly anymore.

Amelia Wright did not look at Godfery Shaw. She raised a cup of tea and toasted Doris Dunne with a light smile, "CEO Dunne, I’m not good with alcohol, how about I substitute with tea?"

Doris Dunne, eager for someone to break the awkwardness, quickly took the cue, "Yes, yes, Miss Wright is having tea, tea is good."

At this moment, Godfery Shaw was standing right between Amelia Wright and Evelyn Dawson.

From the viewpoint of others,

the man in the black suit and the woman in the black long dress were like the blazing sun and the bright moon, both exuding a strong presence, yet not overshadowing each other’s beauty, making the white-dress-clad Evelyn Dawson easily overlooked.

It seemed as if it were Godfery Shaw and Amelia Wright’s engagement.

This illusion made many present feel somewhat strange.

It must be said, in terms of appearance alone, there was no one in Aning City more outstanding than Amelia Wright.

At this moment, with a radiant smile, Amelia Wright walked to one side with Doris Dunne, seeing her being so approachable, quite a few people came over to converse.

This rarely seen beauty seemed to have such a good temperament, men wouldn’t mind chatting with her.

Amelia Wright was like a queen, surrounded by admirers, she smiled delicately, not rejecting at all, yet her eyes held an emotionless indifference.

Like a siren tempting the world to descend into the abyss, silently saying, "Come, enjoy!"

Both body and soul abandoned.

Evelyn Dawson wore a simple and innocent smile on her face, forming a stark contrast with Amelia Wright’s enchanting appearance.

She stood beside Godfery Shaw and whispered, "Mr. Shaw, the engagement ceremony is not yet complete, shall we continue?"

Amelia Wright gave Godfery Shaw a sidelong glance.

She didn’t know what Godfery Shaw was thinking, standing motionless, just staring directly at her.

The deep emotions hidden in those eyes were beyond Amelia Wright’s comprehension.

Godfery Shaw watched Amelia Wright walk away with another man, feeling the suppressed emotions inside him almost bursting forth.

He wanted to recklessly go to Amelia Wright’s side, bring her back and confine her by his side.

He wanted to break the legs of those men who approached Amelia Wright!

But in the next moment, Godfery Shaw calmed down, knowing that people from Capital City were here, watching him from somewhere.

They would definitely ensure he truly eliminated his weaknesses.

The more he showed he cared, the more dangerous it became; only indifference could bring safety.

Godfery Shaw turned and took Evelyn Dawson back, and the engagement ceremony continued.

The recent incident didn’t attract much attention.

Everything seemed so normal.

Only Evelyn Dawson sensed the cold aura from the man beside her, making her afraid to get closer.

Being so close, she inexplicably felt there was some unspeakable affair between Godfery Shaw and Amelia Wright.

But Amelia Wright was Julius Shaw’s woman!

Could the rumors be true, that Amelia Wright had seduced Young Master Shaw?

Truly shameless!

Both people involved in the engagement were absent-minded.

Until the emcee announced the engagement was completed.

Amelia Wright, with her back to Godfery Shaw, just listened, feeling like even drinking tea made her feel drunk.

If she weren’t drunk, how could she have such a deep malice towards the woman standing beside Godfery Shaw now?

Letting Godfery Shaw stay away from her was her desire, so why was she sad?

As if her already tattered heart gained another gaping hole.

But someone like Amelia Wright, even with a heart bleeding, could still maintain a façade of calm.

She raised the tea in her hand and drank it all, turned around elegantly, and left.

Seeing Amelia Wright leave, Godfery Shaw didn’t know how much effort it took to restrain the urge to chase after her, giving Hailey Smith a glance.

Hailey Smith immediately understood and followed after her.

Seeing the Young Madam not in the right state, Hailey Smith dared not approach, only following quietly.

Amelia Wright did not go to Ink Manor to pick up Emily Allen.

She didn’t want the child to see her current state.

She went alone to an amusement park.

Seeing this from afar, Hailey Smith sighed in relief, thinking the Young Madam might just be in a bad mood, wishing to play and relax.

Hailey Smith thus bought a coke and popcorn and followed from a distance.

After buying her ticket, Amelia Wright was stopped by staff as she moved to the front of the line. The staff diplomatically said, "Ma’am, your skirt is too long... it might be inconvenient."

Amelia Wright glanced at her long dress and said indifferently, "Lend me your scissors."

The staff hadn’t reacted yet when the small scissors in his hand were taken away.

"Rip!"

Amelia Wright’s long dress was turned into a skirt with a hand’s breadth above the knee, revealing long, jade-like legs, "Can I go in now?"

The young staff member blushed instantly, stammering, "Ye... yes, you can..."

Soon, Hailey Smith sensed something was wrong; the Young Madam bought tickets for all those thrilling, life-risking rides.

Roller coaster, drop tower, pirate ship...

Hailey Smith watched as the Young Madam screamed on the roller coaster, with no expression on her face.

Watching her fall on the drop tower, her half-open eyebrows did not widen.

Hailey Smith was so scared, popcorn spilled everywhere.

This... would something happen?!

Not until Amelia Wright had her fill of fun and left the amusement park did Hailey Smith finally sigh in relief.

Soon, the relief Hailey Smith felt was gone again.

Amelia Wright changed into trousers and went to Willow River Gorge in Riverwood City.

The purpose here was self-evident.

Bungee jumping!!!

Did the Young Madam play this wildly?

Should he inform Young Master Shaw? But even if he knew, he couldn’t show up today, it’d only add to the sadness.

Hailey Smith decided not to notify and continued to follow Amelia Wright.

Amelia Wright stood above the gorge while the staff strapped her with the safety rope.

Originally, quite a few people were watching the excitement; suddenly, such a beauty got more spectators gathering.

Someone kindly reminded her.

"Young lady, what troubles you so much that you want to play this?"

"Yes, I regretted it as soon as I jumped, it truly can scare someone to death."

"Why not just give it up."

Even after the staff tied the safety rope, looking at Amelia Wright’s pale and delicate appearance, couldn’t help but advise, "Would you like a refund?"

The next second.

Amelia Wright expressionlessly jumped off the gorge.

Everyone widened their eyes.

She... she just jumped.

Without any mental preparation?

Not crying or whining, scared?

Not being pushed by the staff in exasperation?

Just jumped like that?
