Chapter 640

Author: Goldfish
Nicole looked at Christopher seated on his chair. He was always so cold and heartless, and she had never entered his heart.

"Everything I did was to return the Zephyrs' debt of gratitude toward the Randalls," he began.

In other words, it had nothing to do with Nicole.

"Charles loved you. His dying wish was for me to take care of you, but that wasn't what I wanted to do."

Nicole's blood turned cold, as though someone had plunged her entire body into icy water. She stood rooted to the ground,

Don’t you just love how she keeps saying a A moment’s folly? She plagiarized. Doubled down. Set someone else up as a scapegoat. Arranged a kidnapping to learn more secrets AND kill off her rivals. That sure is one long moment!

  • Reborn Without You   Chapter 1012

    Amelia watched the city blur past the cab window, warmth spreading quietly through her chest.She knew Jasper was worried about her, and she knew Samantha's invitation probably wasn't as simple as it sounded. In the end, she nodded. "Alright. Thank you."After hanging up, Amelia sent Jasper the restaurant address. The uneasiness in her chest slowly faded.With Jasper beside her, she wouldn't have to face whatever Samantha had planned alone. She wouldn't have to deal with Christopher's complicated looks either.-At six sharp, Jasper appeared downstairs at Amelia's apartment building.He wore a dark suit and carried a coat over one arm. When he saw Amelia walk out, he immediately went to meet her. "It's windy tonight. Put this on so you don't get cold."Amelia took the coat and draped it around her shoulders, warmth settling over her. "Thank you, Jasper. You really didn't have to go through all this trouble.""It's no trouble."Jasper opened the car door and shielded the to

    Amelia looked at Samantha. "I don't think that's necessary. If the two of you have dinner plans, you should go together.""Is this because of me?" Samantha asked. "Is that why you're leaving? Now you won't even have dinner with me?"She pressed her lips together. "You have such a bright future here. If you're leaving now, there has to be a reason. If I did anything at work that upset you, you should tell me. I really do hate losing you as a colleague. We've worked well together."Amelia listened, and a cold laugh rose quietly in her chest.She had heard plenty about Samantha's background. Her father was a senior figure in the aerospace sector, which meant Samantha's future at the Academy of Aerospace had always been secure.And yet Samantha kept acting guarded around her, always finding subtle ways to stake a claim on Christopher.That strange insecurity almost made Amelia want to laugh."Ms. Bloom, you really don't need to be so nervous."Amelia stopped walking. A faint smil

    Keith's face tightened with concern."You really don't have to do that. I already told you, I didn't mean anything by it. I was only trying to help."Amelia looked at the anxiety on his face, and a quiet warmth moved through her.Keith was a good man. Kind, honest, and sincere. However, she couldn't give him what he wanted.She shook her head gently, her voice warm but firm. "Mr. Burns, don't blame yourself. My resignation has nothing to do with you. I just want to go back to Northon, build my career there, and make things easier for my daughter. That's all."She paused, then continued, "You're a good person. You're decent, kind, and serious about your work. One day, you'll meet someone better suited for you, and you'll have the happiness that belongs to you."Keith's fingers tightened around the report until his knuckles turned pale.After a few seconds of silence, he said quietly, "I understand. I was out of line. I shouldn't have put my feelings on you like that. I hope e

    Jasper continued, "If you need help with Evie, I can ask our housekeeper to stop by more often. Or I can have Winona come stay with you for a few days."Warmth spread through Amelia's chest. She shook her head. "You don't have to go to that much trouble. Evie's easy, and I can manage. I just feel bad making you wait longer.""Don't start being polite with me." Jasper smiled. "Take care of your resignation first. If anything comes up, call me anytime."-Two days later, Amelia went to Darell's office at the Academy of Aerospace.When she pushed the door open, Darell was reading a technical report. The moment he saw her, he set it aside, his face lighting with a warm smile."You're back. I'm glad the rumors have been handled. You've had a rough few days. Sit down. I'll have my assistant bring you some coffee."Amelia sat on the couch with both hands resting on her knees, her tone serious. "Mr. Carter, thank you for looking out for me during all this. I came today because I wante

    Amelia gently laid Evelyn on the bed, tucked the blanket around her, then returned to the living room and saw a message from Jasper on her phone.[The rumors are completely under control. Get some rest.]She replied with a simple "Okay," set the phone down, and stepped out onto the balcony.Amelia drew in a deep breath. For the first time in a long while, her heart felt quiet.-After Evelyn fell asleep, Amelia sat on the living room couch with two sets of documents in her hands, one from the Academy of Aerospace and one from Nova Nine Technologies.She hadn't been at the Academy for that many years, but she had poured so much of her effort and ambition into that place.The drone project was about to enter a crucial stage. If she stayed with it, the future could open up in ways she had once dreamed about.But the moment she thought about the pace of frontline research, her heart sank.Endless overtime. Frequent business trips. Technical problems that could explode without warn

    The morning the statement went live, Amelia woke to Winona's call.Winona's excited voice burst through the phone."Get online right now. Jasper is unbelievable. He buried the rumors overnight!"Still half asleep, Amelia rubbed her eyes and opened her phone.On the trending page, several topics sat near the top."Aerospace Engineer Amelia Sinclair Addresses Recent Rumors""Sources Confirm Nathan Is Not Amelia Sinclair's Biological Son"Jasper's team had released a long, carefully worded statement, and major outlets had already picked it up. The post included the paternity report, Christopher's statement from back then, and scanned copies of the legal notices. The evidence was so complete that no one could really argue with it.In the comments, people who had insulted her before were now apologizing one after another. The tide had turned completely. Some users had even started digging into Samantha's past behavior, questioning whether she had been the one who started the rumor

    Everyone's faces were amusing indeed."The data on this case has been retrieved," a man's voice sounded from outside.Jasper had arrived at the scene with an envelope in hand.Mr. Warren looked in the direction of his voice. "You're finally here. Come here."Nicole's eyes narrowed at the sight o

    Yes, Amelia owned Infotech right now."Didn't you two sign a bet-on agreement? The terms of that agreement have been triggered," Winona reminded her. "Take that contract and take back the company."Amelia looked at Winona.Indeed. It was time for her to take back everything that was hers. -Me

    Amelia sat silently on a bench at a corner, staring at the red light on top of the doors of the operating theatre. Her brows were furrowed, and she didn't look good.All the Zephyrs were pacing back and forth.Lucia glared at Amelia."You filthy wench! You were the one who insisted on making thin

    Luke looked coldly at Amelia.This woman was out of her mind, shooting her mouth off like that during a live broadcast!She was probably so jealous of Nicole that she blurted out that nonsense. Lucia's hands were trembling.The way she looked at Nathan had changed.She marched toward Christop
