Reborn Second Chance With The Scheming Tycoon novel Chapter 253

Under the skeptical gazes of the crowd, Amelia stood like a lotus blooming untainted from

the mud–her silver eyes clear and calm.

Word by word, she spoke with poise and clarity:

“Actually, I’m friends with Joey’s assistant, Emily. That’s how I got the news early and was

able to buy the dress as a birthday gift for my boyfriend.”

“If anyone doubts me, just wait. I’ll prove it.”

With that, she sent a message to Emily.

The next five minutes were filled with murmurs and doubtful glances.

Sabrina even tried to warn her, “Amelia, don’t make things up. If this blows up, it won’t just

embarrass you–it’ll disgrace the whole Johnson family.”

Amelia sighed with mock helplessness. “If even you don’t believe me, then I guess there’s

nothing I can do.”

“Because the truth will speak for itself.”

Just then, someone in the crowd cried out in surprise.

“Oh my god, look! Joey’s official account just released a new post. It says Amelia asked them

to keep it a secret so she could surprise her boyfriend!”

Everyone quickly checked Joey’s official page–it was true. The post confirmed Amelia’s

friendship with Emily.

Instantly, the atmosphere shifted. People looked at Amelia differently–amazed that she

actually had personal ties to Joey!

Sabrina and her group were the most stunned. Faces burning with embarrassment, they had no choice but to quietly slip away.

The rest of the night, many guests approached Amelia, eager to flatter her and make

connections.

But Amelia was already worn out from the evening’s drama. She and Damien quietly slipped

away.

“Amelia!”

Wen Nai caught up to them, looking apologetic.

“I want to apologize on behalf of Zoey. We’ve spoiled her too much, and that’s why she’s so

willful.”

“It’s okay,” Amelia said, shaking her head. “But if her attitude doesn’t change, she’s bound to

cause real trouble one day.”

“I understand. I’ll make sure she gets proper guidance.” Wen Nai handed her a small dessert

box. “I noticed you didn’t eat much earlier. Have this first.”

He knew Damien would likely take her somewhere for dinner.

“Thanks,” Amelia said, pleasantly surprised to find an orange sponge cake inside.

Damien noticed her reaction and glanced curiously at the cake.

He hadn’t known she liked orange cake.

Wen Nai watched them leave, the light in his eyes slowly dimming.

Damien took Amelia out for dinner, then sent her home to the Taylor residence.

“I have something to take care of. Be good and get some rest tonight.”

“It’s already so late, and you still have to work?” Amelia frowned. “Staying up too late isn’t

good for you.”

“It’s just meeting a friend,” Damien said casually.

Though curious, Amelia didn’t press. “Alright. Don’t stay out too late.”

After a goodnight kiss, she stood at the door watching his car drive off, staring at the red

taillights until they disappeared.

“You’re still watching? You’re about to turn into a ‘waiting wife stone‘,” Emily teased as he

walked out.

Just from hearing Shadowlight’s signature engine sound, he knew Damien had dropped

Amelia off.

“No problem. But you know, with Damien around, your secret identity’s barely holding up.

Amelia didn’t reply–she just turned and smacked him lightly on the head.

“Come on, let’s go inside. It’s windy out.”

Emily wasn’t wrong. The next day, when Amelia returned to the Johnson family home, she saw several cars parked outside. Inside, the living room was packed with people and piled with gifts.
