Chapter 808 Countless Troubles Came Knocking
It was obvious that his company was smearing Amelia to capitalize on it.
Nathaniel was a bit angry and frantically wanted to call Amelia, but he saw another trending news:
[The president of the Cunningham Group, Nolan, spends lavishly to please his male friend. Is Nolan the man behind the popular actor Nathaniel?]
What was this?
Nathaniel frowned, thinking that this must be Nolan's doing.
Without thinking much, Nathaniel called Amelia.
But Amelia didn't answer.
Because her previous phone number was exposed and bombarded by fans, Amelia changed her number.
Sunrise City.
Nolan was in the yard when he received a call from Ethan, saying that everything about Nathaniel was arranged.
Nolan took a deep breath, wondering why Ethan suddenly became so proactive in doing something for Nathaniel. He thought it would take a few days.
Now Nolan couldn't hold back anymore.
Nathaniel was free and will definitely come back to bother Amelia.
He needed to get the money quickly and get the marriage license with Amelia.
Around three in the afternoon, Amelia was lying on the rocking chair in the yard, looking at the flowers in the yard.
It was not the peak tourist time now, and coupled with the impact of public opinion, there were not many guest in the bed and breakfast.
A man who looked quite simple walked in, obviously a college student who had just graduated and started a business. "Mr. Cunningham, you are really amazing. I followed your idea to create a brand and opened a cold drink shop, and then someone came to join in. This is your share, not a penny less."
Nolan raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth lifted.
Good investors were hard to find, and good entrepreneurs were also hard to come by.
Recognizing the entrepreneurial zeal and aptitude of this young man, Nolan invested the sixty thousand dollars profit from his ten thousand dollars stock investment in him, alongside a contribution of technical expertise.
The man did not disappoint, he was good at doing business, managing the cold drink shop well, and using the marketing methods Nolan mentioned, he successfully became popular. In less than half a month, people came to join in one after another.
And Nolan made it clear that he only wanted a profit share of three hundred thousand dollars plus the principal, nothing else.
The man felt that he had met someone who truly helped him, so he came to thank Nolan, giving a card with five hundred and sixty thousand dollars, including the principal.
Nolan did not refuse, he needed money now.
When he didn't lack money before, he wouldn't have cared about this amount, but now it's different.
Marrying and supporting Amelia would cost a lot.
After sending the man away, Nolan put the bank card in Amelia's hand. "There is five hundred and sixty thousand dollars in this card."
Amelia had been listening just now. Seeing Nolan handing over the money without keeping any, she immediately became alert. "Do not presume that this financial contribution entitles you to any former displays of arrogance."
"Let's get the marriage license first," Nolan said calmly.
He wanted to marry Amelia before Nathaniel came to disturb them.
Amelia thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, but after the child is born, you must divorce unconditionally and go back to Silverlight City."
Nolan was silent, but thinking that he still had a year to make up for, he could only agree.
Just as they were about to go to City Hall, an uninvited woamn arrived at the bed and breakfast.
A black car stopped at the door, and Elaine got out of the car.
When she heard that Nolan had given up the Cunningham Group and came to Sunrise City, she didn't believe it.
But seeing Nolan at this small bed and breakfast, her thoughts became complicated.
Frowning, Elaine spoke. "Nolan, let's talk."
Amelia felt a bit guilty and looked away, but when her gaze fell on Elaine's wrist, her body stiffened.
That necklace was the one her mother and brother secretly sold, it was her grandmother's inheritance.
"Miss Long," her voice choked a bit, speaking softly. "Can you sell me this necklace?"
Elaine frowned, looked down at her necklace, and then at Amelia. "You want to take my man and my fiance too?"
"No, this necklace..." Amelia was flustered, but it was ridiculous to say it out loud. She didn't have enough money to buy the necklace from Elaine, and when she had Nolan's card before, she wanted to buy it back, but the jewelry store owner said Elaine didn't lack money and wouldn't sell it.
That's right, Elaine wouldn't lack money.
"Sorry, I was presumptuous." Amelia lowered her head, eyes red.
Nolan glanced at Amelia, then at the necklace on Elaine's hand, and stepped forward. "Okay, let's talk."
He got into Elaine's car, and they left.
Amelia breathed a sigh of relief but then laughed self-deprecatingly.
Actually, Nolan and Elaine were quite a match.
He matched well with all the wealthy heiresses, except her.
If Nolan could be persuaded by Elaine to leave, it would be good.
Just as she was about to turn back to the bed and breakfast, someone called her name from behind. "Amelia!"
Amelia's body stiffened, and she turned to see her mother Caitlyn, and her brother Lucas, who always benefited from her.
"What are you doing here?" Amelia frowned, looking at them warily.
Caitlyn and Lucas looked a bit disheveled, carrying large bags of luggage. Were they planning to stay with her long-term?
"Amelia, Lucas and I saw your news online. Seeing that you seem to have a good relationship with Nathaniel, we knew you must be doing well, so we came to rely on you," Caitlyn said nervously.
Lucas frowned angrily. "Amelia, you're really something. You left without a word and didn't tell us you knew Nathaniel. I can't even pay my tuition, the school wants me to drop out, and you didn't even give me living expenses!"
Caitlyn quickly added. "Amelia, the expenses at that private school are too high, I can't afford it. I heard there are good schools in Sunrise City too. If you're doing well here, you can transfer Lucas over."
"Mom, how can the schools here compare to Silverlight City? I still want to go back, just consider it a vacation. Let Amelia buy me some new clothes, I also want the limited edition shoes, all my classmates have them, I don't want them to know our family is bankrupt." Lucas said, asking for things worth millions of dollars.
Amelia looked at Lucas, her voice low. "You sold grandma's necklace, I didn't take any of the money. I said at the time that it was to cut the tie between us. Since you took the money, you shouldn't come to me again. Moreover, your awareness seems limited to online reports of my acquaintance with Nathaniel, while the barrage of public censure and personal attacks I've endured remains unseen. Now, with my livelihood in ruins, you seek me out. Do you intend to join me in destitution?"
After this period of reflection, Amelia understood that she couldn't keep indulging them.
It would only make them hurt her more.
