Chapter 714 Unpleasant Guests

Among all the genuine warmth and care, there was always something less welcome mixed in That afternoon, Kennedy and Clara showed up at the door with expensive gift baskets in hand. Amelia looked at her adoptive parents and felt nothing stir inside her at all.

They sat down, and Clara opened with a few stilted pleasantries, her eyes moving all the while furnishings of the room and Amelia’s face, cataloguing both.

It didn’t take long before Clara dropped the pretense and got to the actual point.

“Amelia, you and Mason are so close right now,” Clara said, her voice lowered and her smile carefully positioned, “so we were wondering if you could do the family a favor. Just ask him about the possibility of putting some investment into Harlow Group. Not a huge amount. Just enough to cover the gap we’re facing”

Amelia’s tone was perfectly level, keeping her expression unreadable. “He’s not the Everett Group’s president anymore. Pedro controls the company now. Where exactly do you think he has money to invest with you?”

Kennedy had been sitting quietly, but he couldn’t hold it any longer. “Beatrice told us everything,” he said. leaning forward with barely contained urgency. “Mason may be out of the Everett Group officially, but he has personal assets and overseas trusts that add up to something significant. That money is just sitting there. It makes more sense to put it into family. We’re all connected, Amelia. That doesn’t change just because things have gotten complicated.”

Amelia’s eyelid twitched.

She kept her expression perfectly neutral while infernally acknowledging that Beatrice had done her homework.

She shifted the problem smoothly back to where it belonged. “Isn’t Beatrice practically engaged to Pedro Pedro has the Everett Group now. If you need help, going to him seems like the obvious move.

Clara’s face tightened at the mention of Pedro, and she shot Kennedy a look before releasing a long, theatrical sigh and beginning what was clearly a prepared performance.

“Don’t even get me started on Pedro. We were counting on him too, but Beatrice says he’s been having serious cash flow problems of his own, She talked us into pulling large sums out of the company to help him. She even took out loans against company assets without telling us, said once Pedro fully took over the Everett Group he’d help us expand tenfold.”

Chara’s eyes went visibly moist as the story built. “And now the first repayment deadline is almost here and nobody is picking up the phone.

the situation collapsing, this couple had remembered the daughter they’d kept at arm’s length for most of her life and decided she was someone they could use. The audacity was breathtaking.

Amelia’s eyes went cold and clear.

“I don’t have money.” Her voice was definitive and left no opening. “Neither does Mason. If you’ve truly ri out of options, find someone else. Don’t waste your time here.”

Kennedy’s composure shattered. He had never expected the girl he’d always managed to push an look him in the face and say no with this kind of finality.

He went red with the fury of someone who could only process rejection as a personal attack. He pointer Amelia and let loose with everything he had. “You ungrateful little wretch! If I’d known you’d turn out like this, we should have left you to fend for yourself the minute we found out you weren’t actually ours! Look at you now, sitting here acting superior in front of me!”

He was fully past any pretense of civility. “Amelia, I’m telling you right now. You’re going to give us that money whether you like it or not. If you don’t come up with thirty million by tomorrow, I’ll take this to the press. I’ll make sure everyone in Eldoria knows that after we raised you into a fully functional adult, you couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger when your own family needed help. Let’s see how long your precious reputation holds up after that.”
