As soon as Amelia saw this woman, her pupils narrowed, and she began to tremble even more


    obviously in Steven’s arms. Her back was covered in a cold sweat.


    The woman was called Mandy. She and Amelia were in the same department and school, but they had


    never gotten along. In fact, Amelia has been the target of her bullying. Amelia had been bullied,


    humiliated, and mistreated by Mandy on several asions.


    Steven recalled hearing Ms. Be mention that Ms. Amelia was scared of fast-moving cars and had


    trouble crossing the street.


    Back then, when Wyatt married Celeste, he had arge family, and most of his children were young.


    Envious of the Thompson family’s power but unable to touch Wyatt, some rivals turned their malice on


    his children.


    At the time, they believed that Celeste was the least favored wife. Thus, her child, Amelia, must be the


    least favored too.


    They intended to make the man who stole their business suffer to the brink of despair.


    Thus, they sent someone to murder Amelia, who was just seven years old at the time.


    In the end, Amelia escaped with minor injuries, and Wyatt exacted revenge, destroying the rival family.


    Despite the fortunate oue, the incident left a lingering shadow on Amelia’s young heart.


    Steven felt his breath bing suffocated at this point in his thoughts. A surge of anger rose within


    him.


    “Ms. Amelia! Are you okay?”


    “I’m fine, absolutely fine.” Amelia forced a smile, pretending to be calm. Her pale face and cold sweat


    on her forehead, however, revealed her fear.


    At that moment, the seductive woman named Mandy cast a nce in their direction. She rolled her


    eyes at them and could not help but feel irritated and jealous when she saw Amelia being embraced by


    such a handsome man.


    But when she saw that Steven only had a Porsche worth around $1 million, her expression became


    tinged with disdain and contempt.


    “Pft, what a poor bitch!”


    Although her voice was not loud, Steven and Amelia both heard her.


    Steven was so enraged that his eyes turned bright red for a brief moment. “Ms. Amelia, please wait for


    me. I’ll be right back.”


    “Steven… Steven!” Amelia panicked, but it was toote. Steven had already approached the woman


    with a stern expression.


    “Who were you talking about earlier?”


    “Did I say something? Perhaps you misheard me “Mandy’s tone softened but remained arogant as she


    looked at the handsome man in front of her


    Steven clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He knew she was insulting Amelia, but she refused to


    acknowledge it, and he could no hit a woman. It was extremely frustrating.


    “Thank you for driving me home, Mr. Iverson. I will be waiting for your the next time you invite me out.”


    With a fake sweetness in her voice,


    Mandy blew a kiss toward the closed car window. Mr. Iverson?


    Steven furrowed his brows. There was no movement visible through the dark window, and the engine


    was roaring at that moment, almost like it was shouting.


    Fueled by his anger for Amelia, Steven knocked on the car window.


    “Your car almost hit my sister just now. Do you n to just leave like this?”


    Amelia’s heart tightened, and she bit her lower lip in concern. She did not want Steven to stand up for

    her, and she certainly did not want to get into a fight with Mandy.


    However, there was no response seen from the car window.


    “Hey! What is wrong with you? The road’s very wide. We were driving normally. When did Mr. Iverson’s


    car hit yours?” Mandy mocked him with a cold smile as she crossed her arms.


    She continued, “Hmph, are you trying to pull a scam? You seem like a decent young man. How can


    you do something so heinous?”


    Steven’s brow furrowed, and he was about to speak when the car window rolled down halfway.
