Reborn Second Chance With The Scheming Tycoon novel Chapter 249

Chapter 205 Chat

As soon as Damien Taylor showed up, Richard Johnson quickly tossed the ruler aside, his

demeanor shifting in an instant. Flashing a flattering smile, he stepped forward to greet him.

“Mr. Taylor, you’re too kind. You always bring so many nice gifts. Amelia, you better

remember how good Mr. Taylor’s been to you, got it?”

Seeing how fast her dad switched faces–faster than flipping pages–Amelia Johnson’s eyes

turned cold. Her heart had already gone numb toward him.

But those bags Damien was carrying… why did they look so familiar?

Thud, thud-

He casually dropped several large bags to the ground.

The contents spilled out.

They were the missing dresses?

Amelia froze, eyes narrowing as she looked at Damien. Why were the dresses with him?

Grace Williams and Sabrina Johnson were even more stunned. They’d gone through the

trouble of having someone steal them–how did Damien end up with them?

“Come in, Mr. Taylor, have a seat,” Sabrina offered, wearing a polite smile and a faint blush on

her cheeks.

Damien didn’t even spare her a glance. Without acknowledging her, he went straight to

Amelia’s side, his stance making it crystal clear–he was here for her.

Richard looked between Amelia, Grace, and Sabrina, totally lost about what was going on.

“These are the dresses Sabrina said went missing,” Amelia said flatly.

Richard nodded, “Well, glad they’re back then.”

“But they’re fakes,” Damien added coolly.

Richard blinked, stunned. “Fakes? No way, those were over three million yuan worth of

designer stuff. Isn’t that right?”

His eyes darted to Grace, wanting an explanation.

Grace’s expression flickered with panic, but she still tried to stick to her story: “Someone

must’ve swapped them during the theft. Must’ve been a pretty slick trick.”

As she spoke, her gaze subconsciously landed on Amelia.

“Sure, the boutique’s camera was down, but the mall’s footage covered everything just fine.”

Damien clearly saw this coming, and he had receipts. Literally. He pulled out a USB drive with

the surveillance footage.

The video showed the shop’s entrance area. After Grace and Sabrina split off from Amelia,

Amelia stayed behind, quietly waiting for the driver–didn’t do a thing.

Then a staff member asked her for help. Right after she walked off, someone in a cap and

facemask snuck over and snatched the bags.

The video cleared Amelia’s name.

Damien let out a faint smirk, sarcasm lacing his voice: “The Johnsons are doing pretty well

lately, huh? So what’s your excuse for buying knockoffs, Mrs. Johnson?”

“–”

Grace tried to defend herself, but one sharp glare from Richard shut her down. She clamped

her mouth shut instantly.

Then Damien took Amelia and left. Said he’d take her out for a late bite.

“Of course, of course! Take care, Mr. Taylor. Amelia, make sure you treat him well!” Richard

even saw them to the door. But as soon as they were gone, his face darkened like a storm

cloud.

“What the hell were you two doing? Teaming up to scam me out of my money? You’re telling

me this cheap crap was worth over three million?”

“And worse–you made me look like a fool in front of Damien Taylor!”

Grace rushed to explain, looking wronged, “Honey, please, it’s not what you think. Why on

earth would we intentionally buy fake stuff to trick you? Sabrina’s engagement is a big deal-

for her and the whole family. I didn’t sleep for nights trying to plan it out. Why would I

sabotage it with fake dresses?““Yeah, Dad, Mom loves me so much–there’s no way she’d let

me wear knockoffs and mess up the wedding. She must’ve been tricked by someone,”

Sabrina Johnson said hurriedly, eyes turning red as if she might cry any second.

The mother–daughter act, going back and forth, finally wore Richard Johnson down. He
