Amelia caught on quickly.
"Heidi and Simon have to disappear. How long you survive depends on how well you handle this."
That was the last thing Edward said before leaving.
This time, two bodyguards took turns watching her.
Amelia sat on the floor for a long time to calm down. She had thought she was as good as dead in Edward's hands, but instead, he wanted her to deal with Heidi and Simon. Well, wasn't that convenient?
Heidi and Simon had betrayed her and thrown her under the bus. She wasn't about to let that slide.
She got up and told the bodyguards, "Give me a few days to recover, and then I'll go after Simon."
A dark, vengeful glint flickered in her eyes as she muttered, "Simon, didn't you say I disgust you?"
…
In the emergency room, the doctor took one look at Heidi's mangled hand and shook his head.
"Unfortunately, there's not much we can do for your hand. It'll be difficult to restore it to normal function," he said.
The dog had bitten off half of her finger, and the tendons were also severed.
Heidi had passed out from the pain. When she woke up, thick layers of bandages covered her right hand. "My hand…"
Emma sobbed. "Didi, it's okay. Your hand is still there, but you won't be able to crochet or restore antiques anymore."
With severed tendons and a permanently impaired ring finger, Heidi would never be able to do delicate work again.
"What?" Heidi's face turned pale. "I… My hand…"
Tears welled up and spilled over as she screamed hysterically, "Where's that dog? Did you kill it? Whose dog was it?"
"Calm down!" Gregory snapped. "If you hadn't insisted on sticking your nose where it didn't belong and getting mixed up with Amelia, none of this would've happened. You always lose it when things don't go your way."
Emma's face twisted in frustration. "How is this her fault? This all started because of Janice. If not for her, Didi and Edward would've been together, and none of this would've happened."
"You…" Gregory pointed at Emma. He was so furious that words failed him.
