Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day novel Chapter 165

Chapter 0165 

“President Grant, I await your command!” Amelia declared with steadfast loyalty. 

From a short distance away, a flower seemed to glance over at her. 

Ethan settled into his chair. “I’ve been informed that Shihua has 

al 

reached out to a lawyer.” 

“Ah.” 

So what? 

What did Shihua have to do with her? 

Or with that scoundrel Lucas? 

Amelia waited for more. 

“After contacting her lawyer, she called Lucas. Within half an hour, he showed up at the police station.” 

Amelia furrowed her brow. 

“Lucas knows Shihua?” 

“Not at all.” 

Amelia hesitated. “I hardly contact him, and I’m not familiar th his 

circle. But from what I know of him, if he knew such an i 

pilot, he would’ve bragged about it to everyone by now.” 

She added, particularly directed at herself, “Especially to me.” 

Ethan fell silent. 

The room became still, save for Michael nodding off and the chirpy Melissa stepping forward. “From my experience with these matters,

they’re definitely plotting something together.” 

She had already warned that Shihua would seek revenge. But of all people, why would Shihua turn to Lucas? 

“There’s got to be something fishy going on,” the Melissa said, trying to look profound. 

With her temporary Chinese language teacher’s deadpan, Amelia corrected, “It’s ‘something fishy.” 

“Oh,” the Melissa acquiesced obediently. “Those two are definitely up to no good.” 

Their likely target was Madison. 

Ethan’s frown deepened. 

Seeing his silent contemplation, the Melissa stepped forward again. Boss.” 

He looked up. 

She was all spirited as she said, “Let me take them out.” 

Amelia’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the suggestion. 

Ethan was no stranger to the Melissa and her ‘occupational hazards.’ 

He rubbed his forehead, sighing, “We don’t do violence here.” 

“The underworld’s all about violence, isn’t it?” the Melissa asked 

earnestly. 

Amelia broke into a cold sweat. “I told you to stop watching tho Hong Kong movies!” 

What’s with all this talk of the underworld in broad daylight? 

While the two pondered their next move, the Melissa rambled on, Boss, you could give me a chance.” 

+25 BONUS 

Amelia quickly corrected, “Consider.” 

The Melissa persisted, “Taking them out, one and for all.” 

Amelia corrected again, “…once and for all.” 

Undeterred, the Melissa argued, “My citizenship is different; we don’t have the death penalty in my country. Even if I bungle it and end up in jail, I can handle it. When I’m out, I’ll go after them again. I won’t let go easily!” 

Amelia closed her eyes, “It’s ‘persevere.”” 

The Melissa, “… 

Finally, her indifferent face betrayed a touch of embarrassment, Same difference.” 

Amelia glared at her, “Don’t go around saying you learned Chinese from me.” 

“Then who should I say taught me? 

“Him.” Amelia pointed swiftly at Michael, who had just nodded off. 

The Melissa looked distinctly disdainful, “People might think I’m simple-minded if I say that.” 

“You’re about there as it is. Only I can cure your ‘simplicity.’ 

“222” 

The Melissa was genuinely perplexed, “You can cure my ‘simplicity Would that mean you’re depriving me of my right to simplicity?” 

Amelia nearly collapsed in exasperation. 

She took a deep breath, “No, it doesn’t.” 

Because if you can ask that, it means your ‘simplicity’ isn’t fully 

+25 BONUS 

cured yet.” 

The Melissa deadpanned, “If it’s not fully cured, doesn’t that make you a quack doctor?” 

This was getting off-topic. 

Amelia scrutinized her with narrowed eyes, “I’m beginning to question how low the bar was for your previous profession.” 

“What’s a bar?” 

“The entry requirements for a job,” Amelia explained patiently. 

“No requirements,” the Melissa stated bluntly. “Just the guts to do it.” 

When it came to her profession, the Melissa verged on 

uncontrollable zeal. She stepped up to Amelia, earnest as could be, Teacher Zhuo, to express my gratitude, I’ll teach you in return. Let’s start with the basics of taking someone out.” 

“Cough…” 

Amelia’s heart raced faster than during her first thunderstorm. 

“I’m touched… very touched,” she stammered, stepping back. 

Undeterred, the Melissa closed in, “Don’t be shy, I’m generous.” 

“I’m not being polite-I genuinely don’t need it!” Amelia backed away frantically. 

That’s when Ethan suddenly spoke up, “Amelia, take her with 

Lucas’s side.” 

The moment Amelia heard this, she understood his intent. 

“Okay!” 

Ethan snuffed out his cigarette, “Ten thousand a day. A million bonus for useful information.” 

+25 BONUS 

Amelia’s eyes sparkled. “Thank you, President Grant!!!” 

Promised a hefty reward, Amelia’s enthusiasm knew no bounds. By noon, she was packed, and with the Melissa now in plain clothes, they headed home. 

Amelia hadn’t been home in a long time. 

The Melissa wasn’t entirely clueless, “Should I watch out for anything at your place?” 

“Just don’t misuse idioms,” Amelia grumbled. “Or my parents might think I’ve brought home a fool.” 

The Melissa didn’t quite catch the meaning, “What?”
