“Shouldn’t you, the fake one, stay away? You know Vincent is my fiancé, but you run to him for every little thing,” Amelia shot back coldly.
“Vincent and I only talk about work. I’m his company’s spokesperson,” Gianna argued.
“Really? Other than prostitutes with clients, I’ve never seen work that required so much hugging and touching.”
“You!” Gianna was about to argue when she suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking toward them.
She stepped forward, her eyes sharp and cold. When she reached the poolside, she sneered.
“Amelia, you brought this on yourself.”
Suddenly, she fell backward into the pool. Splash!
“Help! Amelia, why did you push me?” Gianna screamed, thrashing in the water.
Amelia stood at the poolside, watching her act coldly.
Gianna had chosen this spot carefully, well away from the security cameras.
Soon, Vincent heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing this scene, his face turned red with rage. “Amelia! Are you crazy?”
Without waiting, he jumped into the pool and pulled the wet Gianna out.
She shivered in his arms, crying. “Vincent, I just wanted to apologize to Amelia. I didn’t think she would … “
“Amelia! Since when did you get so mean?” Vincent shouted in anger.
He had come to find Amelia to calm her down.
But after seeing this, that thought vanished instantly.
Amelia crossed her arms, smirking. “Vincent, are your eyes just for show? You really can’t see through such an obvious trick?”
Vincent snorted. “A trick? Gianna is like this and you’re still making excuses? I can’t believe you’re this kind of person.”
“Vincent, don’t blame Amelia. She probably misunderstood our relationship. She didn’t mean it,” Gianna said softly, shrinking into his arms.
Because of the commotion, more and more people had gathered to watch. Soon, everyone felt sorry for Gianna.
“Gianna, the same old trick again? Don’t you have any new tricks?” Amelia teased.
“Amelia, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Gianna mumbled, looking down.
Amelia pressed her lips together, then walked over. In one swift motion, she picked Gianna up like a little kitten and shoved her right back into the pool.
Gianna was caught by surprise and flailed in the pool, looking pathetic.
Amelia’s eyes were cold, and her voice was sharp. “If people are going to blame you for something you didn’t do, you might as well actually do it. Fine, this time I pushed you. I admit it!”
Everyone around gasped in shock.
Vincent stared at Amelia, unable to believe it. “Amelia, how could you … “
Amelia smirked. “Since I’m going to be blamed anyway, I might as well make it real.”
She looked down at Gianna, still splashing in the water. “Hey, is the water nice and cool? If you want to keep playing, I don’t mind giving you a few more pushes.”
Gianna choked on water, her makeup running, and her once-perfect hair now clung messily to her face. She looked like a drowned cat.
She never thought Amelia would actually do it.
No one helped her, so she had to climb out by herself while everyone stared at her suspiciously.
She looked at Amelia, who stood there calm and collected.
Now it was Gianna who looked scared and embarrassed.
Everyone began to realize what had really happened. Gianna had staged the whole thing herself.
People looked at her with pure dislike.
How could someone so fake also be so sneaky? What were the Nygards thinking?
By now, the Nygards had heard the commotion and rushed over.
Seeing Gianna in such a miserable state, Emery got very angry and yelled at Amelia.
Amelia just stood there, calm and unbothered, as if the scolding wasn’t meant for her.
At that moment, Jeremy arrived with a few bodyguards in tow.
He asked Amelia, ignoring everyone else, “Are you okay? Need a hand?”
Amelia shook her head lightly. “Nope. Just some cheap tricks, nothing to worry about.”
Then she looked at Gianna. “Here, I’ve got a little gift for you.”
She pulled out her phone and played the video of Gianna’s staged pool stunt for everyone to see.
When the video finished, Amelia and Jeremy just walked away.
Gianna was trembling, her lips shaking, unable to say anything.
Her carefully planned trick had just been exposed in front of everyone.
Vincent looked at her, his face full of mixed feelings. “Gianna, why would you do that?”
Gianna turned pale, tears streaming down her face. “Vincent, let me explain … “
Vincent’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment. “Gianna, never do something like this again.”
The guests around them were whispering louder and louder.
“Wow, she actually jumped in herself just to frame someone else.”
“This is way too sneaky.”
“Can you believe the Nygards kicked out their real daughter for someone so fake?”
The Nygards looked completely embarrassed.
In the end, Emery had no choice but to drag Gianna away, looking ashamed.
When Gianna came back, she probably caught a cold, because she got a high fever that night.
Her whole body was burning, and she kept talking nonsense.
The Nygards had been a little upset about what happened with her this time.
But seeing her sick, everyone started to feel sorry for her.
In the end, the matter was left alone.
Gianna had planned to trap Amelia, but instead, she only ended up causing trouble for herself. She was furious.
Especially when she found out that Amelia had somehow gotten close to Jeremy, that made her even more jealous.
She couldn’t believe that bitch Amelia had such luck.
In the living room, the Nygards were also talking about it.
Maxwell complained, “Amelia went too far this time, pushing Gianna into the pool. She’s totally out of hand.”
Emery frowned and added, “Now she’s sticking close to Jeremy, thinking she has someone powerful backing her.”
Marcelo said in a cold voice, “Jeremy is probably just fooling around. There’s no way he’s serious about her.”
Men understand each other best.
With Jeremy’s status and wealth, he could have any girl he wanted.
Miguel reminded them, “But don’t forget, that brat still owns 30% of the company shares. If she sells them to Jeremy, then our company … ” He hadn’t finished speaking, but everyone’s eyes went wide.
They hadn’t thought of that at all.
This was a big problem!
Raymond slammed the table with his hand. “Go find where that brat is living. Bring her back, even if we have to force her.”
“Dad, calm down. I already sent someone to check,” Marcelo replied.
Just as he finished speaking, his assistant sent over Amelia’s address.
He looked at the message and frowned.
“Cloudspire Estate.” That was one of the most expensive neighborhoods. Only super-rich or powerful people could live there. Even the Nygards would need connections to buy a house there.
How on earth did Amelia afford a place like that?
Was Maxwell right? Did she really have a sugar daddy?
And was that person Jeremy?
He handed the address to the others, and the whole room went quiet.
