Amelia hugged the plush tightly to her chest and dodged Isla’s hand. Her face darkened. “Isla, be reasonable.”
At that moment, Ethan’s voice came from the stairs.
“Amelia.”

Ethan stood at the second floor landing, looking down at everything below. His face was dark and cold.
“Isla likes it. Give the plush to her,” he said flatly, issuing an order.
“You’re an adult. Why are you arguing with a child?”
Amelia stared at him in disbelief.
He did not ask what happened. He did not care who was right or wrong. He decided at once that she should give in.
She did not loosen her grip. Instead, she hugged the panda even tighter.
“I won’t.”
Seeing how she protected the plush, and thinking of that photo, the anger in Ethan’s chest finally broke free.
He let out a cold, mocking laugh.
“The doll is that precious?
“What, did some random man outside give it to you?”
Amelia’s arms tightened sharply.
She almost laughed.
This plush was a gift from Hayden, a five year old child.
Yet in Ethan’s mouth, it turned into proof of her being unfaithful.
He was always like this. He never asked. He never checked. He only relied on his own dark guesses and judged her with ease.
Seeing her stubborn refusal, Ethan’s anger burned even hotter.
With Ethan backing her up, Isla instantly grew bolder.
“Did you hear that?” Isla stepped forward, lifting her chin in pride. She reached for the plush again. “Mr. Rowe already said it. Hurry up and give it to me.”
Amelia stepped aside and stared at her coldly.
“I’ll say it one last time. No.”
“You!” Isla stomped her foot in anger. She turned to Ethan and burst into tears. “Mr. Rowe, Ms. Harlow is bullying me. It’s just a toy and she won’t even give it to me.”

Ethan immediately pressured Amelia in a cold voice. “Amelia, I told you to give it to her.”
Seeing this, Isla grew even more reckless.

With Ethan’s silent approval, she threatened loudly. “If you still won’t give it to me, Mr. Rowe will kick you out of this house.”
Ethan immediately frowned.
He knew Isla had gone too far. She had turned a simple fight into talk of kicking someone out, which would embarrass him if it got out.
But when he saw Amelia’s pale yet stubborn face, and thought again of that photo, anger crushed his reason.
He did not stop Isla.
A faint, mocking smile appeared on Amelia’s lips.
“Fine.”
She met Ethan’s dark gaze and said clearly, word by word, “Ethan, then try kicking me out right now.”
Ethan’s face changed at once.
“You think I wouldn’t dare?” he snapped through clenched teeth.
“Would you?” Amelia laughed softly.
“Ethan, don’t forget. The cooperation between the Everett family and the Rowe Group just started.”
Ethan’s face flushed with anger.
She was using the Everett family to threaten him.
He glared at Amelia, his throat burning with rage, yet he could not say a single word.
Seeing his helpless fury, Amelia looked away. She no longer cared about his anger.
Holding the plush, she straightened her back and walked up the stairs, step by step, calm and steady.
As she passed Ethan, she did not even glance at him. Not even the edge of her clothes brushed against him.
Amelia entered her room and walked to the bed, still holding the round, soft panda plush.
The main light was off. Only the bedside lamp glowed dimly, stretching her shadow long and lonely across the floor.
After a long while, she gave a self mocking smile and gently placed the panda on the nightstand, letting it sit against the lamp.
