Book4 Chapter3
Amelia was the closest match Michael could find to me.
Her eyes burned with anger as she stood with a few indifferent associates behind her.
"You low-life," Amelia said with venom, "knowing Michael's obsession with me, you went through all this trouble to imitate me, hoping to replace me, didn't you?"
I raised my gaze and looked at Amelia calmly, my voice tinged with resignation. "This isn't your place. Michael isn't here, so you should leave before things escalate."
Amelia sneered, flicking her hair dismissively.
"Michael is my man. There's no place of his that's off-limits to me.
You're just afraid that I will expose your little scheme and leave you with nothing."
As she spoke, Amelia yanked my hair roughly, making me wince in pain.
"You-" Before I could finish, she kicked me hard, sending me crashing into a nearby coffee table with a loud thud.
Struggling to get up, I wiped the blood from my forehead and said coolly: "Aren't you worried about Michael finding out about this behavior?"
Amelia scoffed: "I'm the soulmate Michael's been searching for. Even a scratch on my face would upset him. If he finds out, what's he going to do? Blame me because of you, a pathetic pretender?"
Her bodyguards chimed in with mockery: "Exactly, everyone knows Mr.
Jackson was instantly taken with Amelia. How dare you, a cheap imitation, compare yourself to her?"
"Mr. Jackson is a high-profile figure, and women like you are a dime a dozen. We're making an example of you today to deter other schemers!"
"That's right, let anyone trying to climb the social ladder know who Mr.
Jackson's true love is!"
My expression hardened, my voice edged with warning: "You'd better check with Michael about who I really am."
Amelia raised her chin with disdain: "What makes you think you can compare yourself to me? I'm Michael's top priority, and my family is the Jackson family's most important partner."
