Chapter 707 the Relationship Between Amelia and Nolan
The people behind the scenes wanted to make a move. And naturally, they had to eliminate Jasmine's leverage and support.
No matter how much of a jerk Nolan was, his abilities in the business world were undeniable.
The people behind the scenes considered Nolan to be the biggest threat to the Cunningham family.
Only by dealing with Nolan could they truly plunge the Cunningham family into despair.
"Amelia is Lawrence's daughter. Her family went bankrupt because Nolan did it for Fiona." Deborah's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
In this way, it was no wonder.
Amelia's family was ruined; her father died, and her mother and brother fell into such dire straits. And she was forced to stay by Nolan's side.
Wouldn't she hate Nolan?
As long as there was a crack, she could definitely persuade Amelia.
"This matter needs to be expedited." The voice of the person behind the scenes was low.
"Yes, Messiah, I will do it well." Deborah promised.
"Don't disappoint me again." Messiah's voice was low.
Deborah quickly spoke up, "Messiah, I think Ian is unreliable. He hit me for Jasmine's son. As long as it involves that child, he acts too abnormally. I'm worried he will betray us."
Messiah snorted coldly. "Ian? A sick man can't do anything. Don't worry about him. Just do your job. As long as the Patrick family remains in chaos, they can't protect themselves."
Deborah breathed a sigh of relief. She was deliberately showing her value to prevent Messiah from focusing too much on others.
After Messiah hung up, Deborah called Edgar. "Avery still won't see you?"
"Yeah," Edgar responded angrily. "What's up with your dad? He promised to let Avery marry me, and now he's off to jail for fun?"
Deborah laughed. "Don't worry. Avery just took my shares and is now the CEO of the Hawthorne Group. She's very career-driven and definitely needs strong backing to support her position on the board. Marriage is the best, fastest, and most effective way she can think of."
"Obviously." Edgar snorted.
"So, you need to take Nolan's position as soon as possible," Deborah said calmly.
"I will do it soon."
At Nolan's residence, Amelia recently didn't dare to buy things recklessly because Nolan seemed to have some free time.
Edgar was said to be managing the company, so Nolan could take a few days off.
Amelia ate alone after coming out of the kitchen. Nolan, in casual clothes, sat on the sofa reading project reports, frowning. Whenever he was home wanting to spend time with her, Amelia would eat the foods he despised.
Amelia was a woman without much scheming.
She was too obvious, just hoping Nolan would get tired of her and let her go.
So, the previously timid Amelia began to show her true self.
She was just waiting for Nolan to get fed up and kick her out.
But this time, Amelia was getting impatient. She had already chosen her flight, so why was Nolan's tolerance so strong now?
If it were before, Nolan would have gone crazy if she dared to eat the food he hated in his house.
"Finished eating?" After Amelia finished her meal, Nolan put down his laptop and said in a deep voice, "Come here."
Amelia refused.
"Don't make me say it a second time." Nolan threatened as usual.
Only then did Amelia reluctantly walk over. "I have a smell on me that you won't like. Just tell me what you need."
Nolan reached out and grabbed Amelia's wrist, pulling her into his arms and gritting his teeth. "Do you want to leave me that badly?"
She had even bought a ticket for next week?
Did she think he couldn't last even a week?
She was too confident in her little tricks.
Snorting coldly, Nolan spoke again, "Amelia, as long as I'm not done with you, don't think about going anywhere."
Amelia's eyes reddened with anger. "Aren't you getting married?"
Nolan was silent for a long time before speaking, "It's not the right time yet. When the time comes, I'll let you go."
Amelia looked away. She thought her heart wouldn't stir anymore, but it still hurt.
She was just Nolan's plaything, after all.
"Then I hope you get married soon and give me my freedom," Amelia said softly.
Nolan didn't say anything, unable to stand the smell on Amelia, he frowned and said, "Go take a shower."
Amelia got up and left, not wanting to stay by Nolan's side for another second.
But she was also very clear about Nolan's intention to keep her around, which was nothing more than to satisfy his desires.
She had a smell on her, so Nolan definitely wouldn't touch her.
Suddenly, Nolan's doorbell rang, and someone entered the password and came in directly.
Nolan was stunned for a moment, instinctively wanting to hide Amelia. But she had already gone to the bathroom to shower.
Jasmine came in. It was rare for Ethan to be home, and Vincent could watch the child, so she made cranberry cookies for Nolan.
She also wanted to help Cordelia find out if there was a woman around Nolan.
"Jasmine, why are you here?" Nolan was a bit nervous but tried to act calm.
Jasmine put the fruit and cranberry cookies on the table. "Lately, people have been saying you're in love. I made some cookies. Is she here?"
"No!" Nolan quickly replied.
Afraid that Jasmine would find out he was keeping Amelia.
After all, Amelia was Jasmine's classmate.
Mainly, Nolan and Amelia had an age difference. He really didn't want Jasmine to see. "Did you come alone? I'll take you back."
Nolan didn't have time to change clothes, so he put on a coat and was about to take Jasmine away.
Jasmine looked at Nolan suspiciously, listening to the sound of water coming from the bedroom. "Who's taking a shower?"
"You misheard," Nolan quickly said, pulling Jasmine to leave.
"No way." Jasmine squinted her eyes, looking at a pair of women's shoes on the shoe rack. "Nolan, if you're in love, just say it. Why hide it? Are you messing with her and not planning to marry her? If you're serious, bring her home to meet Mom. When's the wedding?"
Nolan looked away, his ears turning a bit red. "Just having fun. We're all adults. It's not at the stage of talking about marriage. I won't just marry any woman."
Jasmine curiously looked at the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Amelia had taken a shower and casually wiped herself before coming out naked.
After all, Nolan asked her to shower for that reason.
So, a naked Amelia walked out of Nolan's bedroom, locking eyes with Jasmine standing in the living room.
