Just Rest Assured to Do It

Bella's face changed, and she hesitated for a moment before shaking her head at Delilah. "Mom, stop being so suspicious. I've already tested it."

"Tested? What do you mean?" Delilah looked at her, puzzled.

"Her taste is completely different from Amelia's; she loves spicy food, and eating it didn't affect her at all. If it were Amelia, a few bites would probably send her to the hospital."

After hearing this, Delilah felt that something was off, but couldn't put her finger on it. Her expression turned somewhat unpleasant as she sat there contemplating.

Bella glanced at the contract on the table, tightly clenching it in her hand, with a sharp gleam in her eyes. "Sophia, you're ruthless."

Back at Grand Group, Amelia returned to her office and continued studying.

Mike reported everything he had witnessed and heard at Harper Group to Ethan.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, Sir, that's all. I don't know if Miss Harper will come to Grand Group to find Ms. Sophia for the review progress in the afternoon."

Mike looked at Ethan, although this provided some relief, he knew that halting production at Harper Group wouldn't only impact them, but also Grand Group.

Ethan lightly curled his lips, a hint of indifference flickering in his deep eyes. Mike immediately understood that even if they incurred losses, Ethan would support Sophia's actions.

"I didn't expect Bella to only care about her momentary satisfaction. She didn't anticipate that Sophia's visit was for this purpose."

After listening, Mike hesitated for a moment, understanding Ethan's meaning. He nodded slightly, refraining from saying anything further.

"Is she back?" Ethan turned his head, looking at Mike.

"Yes, Ms. Sophia has returned to her office."

Ethan nodded, sitting down to continue his work.

Mike left the office with a slight smile, saying to himself, "I really can't understand what Mr. Frost and Ms. Sophia are up to."

"It seems difficult to understand what our CEO and Ms. Sophia have in mind."

As an employee, his principle was to carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors. Asking too many questions would be fruitless. Ethan valued Mike because of his reserved nature and ability to get things done with minimal fuss.

Amelia sat in her office, scenes from her time at Harper Group flashing through her mind. The setting remained the same, but now her position, which used to belong to her, seemed to have been taken over by Bella.

Charles, Delilah, Bella—each face appeared deceitful before her eyes, igniting her anger. She closed her eyes, tightly gripping her fingers, trying hard to calm herself down.

"What am I really trying to achieve? It's not just about troubling them like this; I should find a way to regain everything and make them pay the price."

Thinking about this, she felt restless, unsure of what steps to take. She could only sense a mix of anger and sadness swirling within her, unable to find peace.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

Amelia entered Ethan's office and sat across from him, her face looking grim and burdened.

Ethan looked at her, contemplating her mood, before nodding gently and releasing a sigh.

"What's wrong? Although Bella was disrespectful, you can still return there in the afternoon. Now you can consider yourself her immediate superior. Why worry?"

Amelia lifted her head and looked at him. It seemed that he already knew. Mike was his personal secretary, so naturally, he would report everything to him.

"When I returned to Harper Group today, I felt a sense of oppression. Especially when I saw Charles and Delilah, the anger welled up inside me. If not for my rationality, I would have lost control."

Amelia finished speaking and clenched her left fist tightly. She rested her right hand on the table, supporting her forehead, closing her eyes, and suppressing her emotions, feeling lost and overwhelmed with sadness.

"I understand how you feel. What used to be yours has been taken away by them. They framed and slandered you, trying to harm you. Going back to Harper Group today is like reopening old wounds, which cannot help but bleed."

Ethan stood up, pulling her close to him, wordlessly expressing his heartache, his deep eyes filled with emotion.

Amelia leaned against him, not finding any joy in troubling them. Touching upon her past experiences only made her feel suffocated.

"Alright, this is just the beginning for you. Afterward, you will slowly dismantle Harper Group and then rebuild it. You shouldn't let them benefit from it while also preserving everything your mother left for you."

Amelia raised her head. This all seemed so distant to her.

"Is it really possible? But I feel like I can't wait. I genuinely want to drive them out immediately and prevent them from tarnishing my mother's legacy."

"You have already experienced many hardships. In the future, you'll have to take careful steps. Understand?"

Ethan lowered his head, looking at Amelia. His profound eyes grew piercing as his tone became solemn.

"Amelia, for everything they've done to you, you should slowly make them pay it back. You bring them down bit by bit, until they stand before you with nothing, and you proudly look at them, making them repay everything they owe you."

Amelia's anger seemed to subside under the cold, icy words.

He was right. Even if it meant her demise, she couldn't let them off easily. Bella wanted to burn her to death, and now she had the opportunity to retaliate, making them pay a painful price.

Amelia lifted her head, looking at Ethan. The gleam in his eyes turned chilling. This coldness seemed to bring her clarity, calming her from her previous state of frenzy.

"Will Amelia come to see me this afternoon?"

Amelia looked at Ethan. Although she had said those things when leaving Harper Group, Bella was too proud. It wouldn't be so easy for her to back down.

Ethan smirked coldly, looking at Amelia with an expression that conveyed a hidden admiration.

"Even if she doesn't come, we must find a way to make her come. Once the decision is made, there should be no doubts, only inevitable consequences."

"But if things continue like this, the export date for this batch of contracts might be delayed, and Grand Group could potentially suffer significant losses."

Amelia looked at Ethan. While she hoped to make the Harper family pay a price, she also felt uneasy about the losses Ethan would incur.

Ethan patted her shoulder, shaking his head gently, his expression gentle, with a hint of indescribable strangeness in his deep eyes.

"The losses will all be accounted for by Harper Group. Just rest assured and do what needs to be done."

With these words, Amelia set aside all her worries, giving a cold smile and releasing a long sigh of relief.

...

"Sophia, you really think I can't handle you? You're just an orphan supported by the Frost family. I'll make sure you fall from grace and let you see if Ethan will still dote on you like this."

Bella's face turned malicious, and the process of framing Amelia replayed in her mind.

You brat, not only do you resemble her physically, but it seems your fate will also be similar. I don't even want to look at you because it makes me sick.
