Chapter 14
From the beginning, Amelia deceived him, intentionally causing him to torment Stephanie!
She lied to him once, and there would be a second time, a third time, and countless times. Perhaps she has never spoken a truthful word in her life!
The moment of anger from being deceived engulfed him, Edgar bit his tongue tightly, tasting the blood like self–torture, forcing himself to sober
- up.
“Have you found anything else, what exactly did Amelia do to Stephanie? What else has she lied to me about?!”
Hearing his angry voice, the assistant trembled subconsciously, but quickly calmed down and reported seriously:
“Actually, I also found a recording, it was a conversation between Ms. Gibson and Mrs. Ferguson recorded in the bathroom. Once you listen to it, everything should become clear.”
With that, the recording had already been passed on to Edgar.
He clicked play, and Amelia’s triumphant voice came out from the phone.
“Big shots like Edgar don’t know how many women throw themselves at him. Only by not agreeing to him, keeping him hanging, coming and going unpredictably, can I keep him interested in me all the time!”
“I didn’t want to just be a canary, I wanted to be his wife!”

Amelia’s self–directed and self–acted sound of slapping herself was

incredibly clear, as if it was hitting Edgar’s face.
His mind was blank.
After a long time, he could only smile self–deprecatingly.

“I was really a complete fool, being played around by such a woman!”
Edgar punished himself by giving himself a hard slap.
In an instant, his face swelled up and there were traces of blood at the corner of his lips.
But he seemed to be numb, apologizing repeatedly to Stephanie’s photo.
“Stephanie, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I misunderstood you so many times and punished you so many times. I’m sorry, I’m sorry…….”
“I really know I was wrong, I regret it, will you come back? I will make up for all the grievances you have suffered, I don’t want anything Amelia, I don’t want anything, I just want you to come back!”
Edgar’s eyes were bloodshot, his voice was extremely hoarse, and he was filled with vulnerability and loneliness all over his body.
Just at that moment, Amelia continued to message him, still not understanding why.
He was too lazy to look at her meaningless words again, so he only replied to her with one sentence.
“Come to my house, I have a surprise to show you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Amelia across from me was completely taken aback by the surprise, she didn’t even realize that his tone was off.
Her lips couldn’t help but curl up, she jumped happily, and then pretended

to be reserved and replied with a “good” word.
Later, she ignored the complicated looks from her other roommates and hummed a song as she searched through the wardrobe for the right
clothes.
This time, when Edgar invited her to his house, he must have been preparing to propose to her!
Stephanie has divorced him, and these days he has been busy and hasn’t replied to her messages. He must be carefully preparing to confess his love and propose.
Intentionally choosing to have the conversation at home, maybe it was to hint that she would become the mistress of this house in the future!
Amelia carefully dressed for several hours, making sure every detail was perfect. She even sprayed on Edgar’s favorite perfume before grabbing her purse and getting into the Rolls Royce that had come to pick her up.
Throughout the journey, Amelia did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
Looking at the villa occupying half of the mountain, she nodded repeatedly in her heart, even starting to plan how to decorate it in the future.
Anything Stephanie had chosen in the past in terms of design, none of it was allowed to stay.
The car had just driven into the villa gate when, with a click, the large iron gate behind it locked, faintly tinged with electricity.
The whole villa was unusually quiet, with a strange sense of solemnity lingering in the air.
Amelia felt a bit strange, but she told herself that it was just a surprise

prepared by Edgar for her, nothing more.
