Chapter 408 So Ungrateful

“Especially… given that you’ve just been through a failed marriage. You should be more careful about image, shouldn’t you?”

Amelia’s mind buzzed.

Every vague sense of discomfort suddenly snapped into focus.

What did he mean by having inappropriate thoughts?

What did he mean by a failed marriage?

your

He was clearly insinuating that because she was divorced, she lacked self–respect, that she was trying to use her looks to climb the ladder and take an improper shortcut.

Amelia frowned, then turned to face Vince head–on. The almond–shaped eyes that were usually gentle and composed had iced over completely.

“Mr. Radcliffe.”

Vince had not expected that reaction and froze for a split second.

“By your logic,” Amelia said slowly, each word crisp and controlled, “I spoke to our boss at the company dinner, and in your mind, that means I have ulterior motives and that I’m not focused on my work. And you’re even tying it to my marital history?

“Forgive my bluntness, but where exactly does that reasoning come from?”

Vince had always assumed Amelia was mild–mannered, like a harmless rabbit he could easily pressure and

correct.

He had not expected this rabbit to bare teeth.

Being confronted so directly caught him off guard, and his expression immediately soured.

Annoyance and irritation surfaced, and his tone turned sharp.

‘I’m saying this for your own good!” he snapped, raising his voice. “You’re a woman. The world isn’t kind. One wrong step and your entire future is ruined! I’m speaking from experience and giving you a reminder. Is that really wrong?”

Just then, the elevator chimed.

The doors slid open, bright light spilling in and illuminating Vince’s face, which now looked strained with anger and embarrassment.

character judgments. What you just said was just plain rude and inappropriate.

With that, Amelia walked straight toward the conference room.

Vince stared at her slender but unbending figure as she walked away.

“So ungrateful,” he muttered through clenched teeth, his gaze dark.

What gave her the nerve to push back like that? Wasn’t it obvious she had found someone powerful backing her now?

In his mind, a woman like Amelia–soft–looking and delicate, like a clinging vine—had nothing to offer beyond her appearance.

To him, her ability to sit in a director’s seat and gain management’s favor could only have come from underhanded means.

When Amelia entered the top–floor conference room, several department heads were already seated.

Tim sat at the head of the table, flipping through documents, his presence sharp and efficient, every inch a seasoned executive.

Amelia’s gaze passed over him without pause and settled briefly on Vince, who was seated diagonally across from her.

The tension from the elevator still lingered. Vince was speaking quietly with the marketing director beside him, wearing his usual polite smile.

The moment he noticed Amelia looking his way, that smile tightened, replaced with a trace of contempt and provocation.

Amelia remained calm as she found her seat and placed her folder neatly on the table.

She knew exactly what kind of person Vince was. Once someone like him had their façade cracked, they lashed out and waited for a chance to retaliate.

But she wasn’t afraid. The workplace was a battlefield. Backing down never earned respect, it only invited more aggression.

Soon, everyone had arrived.

Tim looked up, scanned the room, and cleared his throat. The casual air disappeared, replaced by gravity.

“I’ve called this short meeting to announce an important decision that will affect the company’s future direction.
