CHAPTER 80: CHAPTER 80: TROUBLE IN THE IMPERIAL GARDEN

"Knock, knock!" Young Madam, are you at home?

The soft knocking sound caused the barely asleep Amelia Wright to frown, and she was about to wake up.

Emily Allen quickly opened the door a crack and looked outside warily.

Hailey Smith knew who Emily Allen was, as he had personally accompanied her back initially.

He crouched down and whispered, "Emily, how is the Young Madam? Is her health okay?"

Emily’s clear eyes stared at Hailey, as if unfamiliar, and said, "She’s resting, don’t make noise."

Hailey was surprised that this child actually took the initiative to speak to him.

The next moment, the door before him was closed.

Hailey almost got hit in the nose, quickly stepped back, and touched his nose. Seeing the calm look of this child, the Young Madam should be fine.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Hailey had a headache.

Young Master Shaw told him to find a way to leave the Imperial Garden to protect the Young Madam.

What on earth should he do to make the outside world believe he has been expelled by the Young Master?

And right now, the Young Madam didn’t want to keep him around either.

This was just too difficult for an honest person!

Hailey left with a worried expression.

...

Amelia Wright did not know that people from the Imperial Garden had visited; she remained drowsy.

Her health was too poor to safely maintain her pregnancy, and she dared not use powerful medication.

She planned not to think about anything for now, not about Godfery Shaw, not about revenge, but first to protect the child in her womb, as if saving the last bit of light she had.

She took a leave of absence from the school.

The pick-up and drop-off for Emily Allen’s kindergarten were volunteered by people from the old town.

But often, things didn’t go as planned.

Amelia only managed to rest quietly for three days.

Hailey suddenly contacted her, saying something happened; Emma Lewis injured Evelyn Dawson at the Imperial Garden.

How could Emma Lewis go to the Imperial Garden?

How could she have injured Godfery Shaw’s fiancée?

Emma Lewis had saved her before, so Amelia could not ignore Emma Lewis.

She forced herself to get out of bed, took medicine for a few days, the abdominal pain eased, and there was no bleeding, so the baby was stabilized.

The kitchen had porridge prepared by Emily, with a small note stuck on the small dining table.

"The breakfast on the table, make sure to heat it up before eating, Auntie."

Amelia’s expression softened a bit, and there was multigrain porridge, a piece of corn, and a few slices of white-cut pork liver on the table.

She obediently reheated them and ate everything before going out.

Not knowing what happened to Emma Lewis, she needed to maintain enough strength.

Amelia directly took a taxi to the Imperial Garden.

Upon reaching the area belonging to the Imperial Garden, the taxi could actually go directly inside.

The Imperial Garden’s grounds typically allowed only cars from the Imperial Garden or those permitted by it to enter.

Today, even taxis could enter, indicating that the Imperial Garden was open to the public.

To Godfery Shaw, the Imperial Garden was very special; he would not let outsiders in lightly. In the past five years, it had never been open to the public. What was going on?

As soon as Amelia got out of the car, Hailey ran over from a distance.

"Young Madam, you’re here, come with me quickly."

"What on earth happened?" At this point, Amelia just wanted to know what happened and didn’t even bother correcting Hailey’s address for her.

"Here’s the thing, Miss Dawson organized an equestrian race at the Imperial Garden, inviting many ladies from Riverwood City. Miss Lewis was also there, and then something happened between them, and Miss Lewis directly knocked Miss Dawson off the horse."

Amelia’s face darkened: "Is she badly hurt?"

Hailey replied, "Not very badly, but her face is scratched."

Amelia’s gaze grew more intense.

If it was another injury, it would still be manageable. Having a face scratched would be difficult to resolve easily.

Amelia quickened her pace forward.

Hailey, behind her, actually let out a sneaky smile; he had been looking for an opportunity, and wasn’t this it!

He had notified the Young Madam to come; today’s incident would surely escalate. When the time came, he could help the Young Madam deal with Miss Dawson, offending the Young Master in the process, and the Young Master could then logically expel him. How reasonable!

Thinking like this, Hailey excitedly followed behind the Young Madam.

Amelia arrived at the equestrian field and saw many women dressed in riding suits.

The Imperial Garden was truly open to outsiders, even if the villas were off-limits, showing that Godfery Shaw valued his fiancée greatly.

At this moment, Godfery Shaw was also present.

Standing among a group of women, he was so conspicuous that Amelia could spot him at once. Thinking of the child in her womb, she felt her heart seize when seeing Godfery Shaw.

At this moment, the women were all surrounding Evelyn Dawson, faces filled with concern.

Emma Lewis was being restrained by two bodyguards, unable to move.

Emma gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Godfery Shaw, are you fucking blind, getting tangled with this Evelyn Dawson."

Injured on the face, Evelyn, with one hand covering her face, cried prettily, "Emma Lewis, I invited you to the Imperial Garden out of kindness, why did you hurt me and scold me, I don’t know what I did wrong?"

Emma was furious but couldn’t explain.

"Fine, fine, it’s Miss Dawson, right? You really have some nerve," Emma huffed, arrogantly saying to Godfery Shaw, "Young Master Shaw, I’m the one who injured her. If you want to avenge your fiancée, go ahead, cut me a scar, I’m not afraid of disfigurement!"

Emma was utterly defiant, refusing to bow down.

Evelyn only lowered her head, tears falling continuously.

Godfery Shaw’s face was grim, with such a heavy pressure that everyone present found it difficult to breathe.

At this moment, Amelia appeared.

All Godfery Shaw’s emotions were hidden deep in his eyes, very deeply.

Seeing Amelia appear, Emma’s boldness immediately deflated, as if she had caused trouble for Amelia, and her whole demeanor shrank.

The people of the Imperial Garden were inexplicably a bit nervous too.

Evelyn’s face was tear-stained, but the corners of her mouth subtly curved upward. She knew that, given Amelia’s relationship with the Imperial Garden, someone would definitely inform Amelia.

Finally, she arrived.

Amelia walked over and said in a cool voice, "Let go of Emma."

The bodyguards were from the Imperial Garden, and upon hearing the former Young Madam’s words, they hesitated and looked toward the Young Master.

Godfery Shaw said nothing, the darkness in his eyes deepening.

"I said let her go!" Amelia’s voice grew colder. "Emma hurt someone, I’ll take responsibility for that."

Upon hearing this, Evelyn cried anew, "But... but she hurt my face, I’ll be disfigured in the future, Young Master, I... I..."

Evelyn seemed choked up, unable to speak, her youthful face now marred with a scratch, blood seeping through, looking somewhat frightening.

Godfery Shaw walked toward Amelia, and coldly looked at her, "What will you use to compensate?"

That icy tone caused a slight pain in Amelia’s heart; she took out a craft knife from her body and handed it to Godfery Shaw.

In a bland tone, she said, "Wherever your fiancée is injured, use this knife to return the favor."

Saying the words fiancée caused Amelia’s abdomen to twinge with pain.

Godfery Shaw reached out and took the craft knife.

Emma suddenly panicked, "No! Godfery Shaw, you dare! If you dare to hurt her, try it, I’m the one who hurt her, take it out on me!"

Godfery Shaw and Amelia stood facing each other, their aura creating a barrier that no matter how loudly others shouted, they couldn’t break through.
