CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 96: THE IDENTICAL CHILD

Emily Allen still remembers, the first time she saw this person, her aunt was very sad.

But at this moment, her aunt didn’t frown, nor did she wake up feeling distressed.

Emily had a slightly troubled expression.

Aunt hasn’t had a good sleep in a long time.

After serious consideration, Emily made a decision and closed his eyes again.

The small bed was a bit crowded, and Amelia Wright unconsciously moved closer to the warm source, cuddled in Godfery Shaw’s arms.

Her dream world was all cold, only the warmth beside her was like a small sanctuary, making Amelia unconsciously lean in, temporarily finding peace.

Godfery Shaw looked at the delicate and pale person in his arms, eyes holding back a storm, gently kissed Amelia’s lips.

It was more a touch than a kiss.

Like a devout believer, touching his light.

Not daring to desecrate.

Until it was almost dawn, Godfery Shaw quietly left, as if he had never appeared.

When Amelia Wright woke up, she didn’t notice what happened last night; she thought it was because she had slept for two hours in Godfery Shaw’s car yesterday, she didn’t feel the fatigue when waking up today.

Amelia, always alert, only let down her guard when Godfery Shaw was near, only feeling ease with his familiar reassuring presence.

She carefully folded the coat she brought back earlier, which still carried Godfery Shaw’s scent, and placed it by her pillow.

This was the first time Emily Allen saw his aunt sleep through the night without waking up.

The precocious child knew it was because of that person’s influence last night, so he chose to remain silent about what happened.

That person... If only he could always be with aunt.

After breakfast, Amelia first sent Emily to kindergarten.

She deliberately stayed to observe for a while; indeed, no one bullied Emily anymore, but everyone intentionally or unintentionally chose to isolate him.

A child who already has autism, if isolated further, the condition might worsen.

It seems that merely suppressing the issue of Emily being her illegitimate child isn’t enough; she must find a way to clarify it.

If it was just Amelia herself, she wouldn’t care about gossip, just like before, she would suppress the heat and wouldn’t bother to explain.

But affecting Emily is unacceptable.

After seeing Emily, Amelia went to the company and handed over the final draft settled yesterday.

Fiona Morgan’s set of custom jewelry officially started production.

Amelia came to Godfery Shaw’s company mainly to handle Fiona Morgan’s order; other work wasn’t assigned to her.

After detailing everything, Amelia had a delicious staff meal and then went to Elegant Art Academy.

The results of the preliminary round of today’s national painting exhibition were out, and unsurprisingly, Amelia advanced.

Those who passed need to visit the school, sign their name on their painting, and leave the piece at the school for archiving.

This is probably the school’s way of retaining honor.

Amelia doesn’t care about the honor, only not wanting things to seem too ostentatious.

All advanced artworks were displayed, like a small exhibition, for students to admire.

And each artwork’s owner, under the envious gaze of others, signed their own name.

Ava Wright also advanced in the preliminary round; she appeared today, draped in brands from head to toe, looking even more luxurious than the elite daughters of Riverwood City’s top ranked wealthy families.

Luxurious to the extent that the Wright family couldn’t afford.

Ava’s entourage fawned and asked, "Our Ava really is gorgeous and talented."

"Ava, your bag today is so beautiful. Is it true there’s a wealthy young man in Riverwood chasing you?"

Ava, admiring her freshly done manicure, dismissively said, "What is Riverwood? Just a palm-sized small city, I will eventually enter the Capital Circle."

Listening to this, Ava’s entourage burst into another round of flattery.

Ava wore a proud expression; lately, whenever she spoke, she could gain advantages from the Allen family, gradually nurturing an illusion that she was already the Allen family’s daughter.

Money is great, but it can also make one lost in it; Ava has completely regarded herself as a grand elite daughter from the Capital City.

At this moment, Amelia Wright appeared.

The attitude of Marsh Smith in the jewelry store last time made Ava unwilling to fake gentleness upon seeing Amelia.

She snorted coldly as if she hadn’t seen her, inwardly thinking of finding an opportunity to ruin Amelia’s face.

Just looking at that face made her angry!

Whether it was Amelia’s face or her paintings, both were too outstanding.

As she appeared, almost everyone’s gaze fell on her.

But these gazes, aside from a small portion of admiration, were mostly contemptuous and malicious.

Clearly once as obscure as them, suddenly she became stunningly beautiful, her paintings also incomparably different from before.

This stark contrast made people feel Amelia was previously pretending; seeing her abandoned by the Shaw family, the revelation of her having an illegitimate child, it was like tearing apart the perfect facade of a perfect person, inexplicably giving them a sense of pleasure.

Let her pretend, serves her right!

"Look, the abandoned woman of the Shaw family actually has the nerve to appear."

"How thick-skinned is she! So young yet already has such a big illegitimate child, so much criticism, she can just act like she’s deaf."

"What is she afraid of, still thinking she’s not famous enough. Having the audacity to participate in the national painting exhibition, eager for the whole world to know her."

Facing everyone’s ridicule, Amelia was unimpressed, walked to her pine tree painting, and signed her name.

Looking at this pine tree painting, a gentle smile gradually appeared on her face.

She again thought of her brother.

Because she saw her brother that day, the artistic conception of this painting is notably different from her usual works.

Under Amelia’s smile, those dark voices abruptly stopped.

The scene before them was too beautiful, they felt a bit hesitant to continue cursing...

Ava Wright muttered under her breath, "Bitch!"

Not far away, Edward Allen watched from afar.

Recently, he’s been searching for his sister in Riverwood City; without more clues, he’s been aimlessly searching, to no avail.

For some reason, he found himself at Elegant Art Academy again, once more seeing the girl he startled earlier who ended up spilling paint.

For unknown reasons, he had a favorable impression of this girl.

Upon seeing her again, Edward Allen even thought, his sister should be about the same age as this girl.

After signing her name, Amelia didn’t have time to cause Ava trouble today, she turned and prepared to leave the school.

Hailey Smith was waiting with Emily at the school gate for her.

She had an appointment with a doctor today to conduct psychological counseling for Emily.

She had a stress disorder related to hospitals, good doctors were hard to schedule, and it took great effort to get this appointment, it couldn’t be delayed.

As Edward Allen saw Amelia leave the school gate and was about to look away, he suddenly saw a little boy walking over.

At first glance, Edward froze.

Because this kid looked too much like him.

Almost identical to his childhood photos!

Edward Allen couldn’t believe such a coincidence existed in the world.

What relationship did this child, who looked identical to him, have with him?

Edward’s expression gradually turned cold, he took out his phone and made a call: "Get me a hair sample from that child, I want a DNA test conducted."

No matter who dares to scheme against him, dares to scheme against the Allen family, he won’t let them go!
