Revenge Looks Good on Me (Amelia and Sebastian) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 The Most Distinguished Quest

For a second-

The entire boutique fell silent.

Then Brenda burst out laughing.

“Fired?” she repeated as if she had just heard the biggest joke of the year.

“You’re firing me?”

She pointed at Amelia, laughing harder.

“Who the hell do you think you are?

“God, this is hilarious. I think you’ve lost your mind.”

Her expression turned vicious.

“If you’re crazy, go back to the mental hospital where you belong!”

But the moment those words left her mouth-

A sudden commotion erupted at the entrance.

A man in a dark suit strode into the boutique at high speed.

He looked to be in his early forties, his presence sharp and authoritative.

The moment Brenda saw him, her face instantly changed.

She hurried forward, ready to greet him with a flattering smile.

“Sir, you’re just in time-”

But before she could finish-

The man exploded with rage.

“You’re fired!”

His furious shout echoed through the store.

Brenda froze.

Her brain went completely blank.

“What?”

Did she hear that right?

She… was fired?

That had to be some kind of international joke.

Chapter 22 The Most Distinguished Guest

“Michael, why are you firing me?!”

Brenda’s voice shot up an octave.

“I’m the store’s top sales champion this quarter!”

She stared at him in disbelief.

Michael let out a cold snort.

The look he gave her was the same one people used when staring at something foul stuck to the bottom of their shoe.

“Because,” he said flatly, “you offended the most distinguished guest of DN.”

The most distinguished guest?

Brenda’s eyes instantly skipped over Amelia without a second thought.

Instead, they landed directly on Sophia.

“Sophia!” Brenda rushed over anxiously. “I’ve never offended you! I’ve always given you the best service!

“Please say something to Michael!”

Sophia also assumed the title referred to her.

She straightened her posture proudly and stepped forward like a queen granting mercy.

“Michael,” she said calmly, “this employee hasn’t offended me.

“There’s no need to fire her.”

Brenda instantly shot Sophia a grateful look.

But just as Sophia lifted her chin with satisfaction-

Michael looked at her with pure contempt.

Then he turned and walked straight past her.

Right up to Amelia.

And in doing so-

Slapped Sophia’s pride across the face without even tou hing her.

“The distinguished guest I’m referring to,” Michael said learly, “is Amelia,”

“You?” He glanced back at Sophia coldly,

“You’re just a VIP customer.

“Don’t flatter yourself. Your status isn’t high enough for me to bow to.”

Sophia’s smile froze instantly.

Chapter 22 The Most Distinguished Guest

Her eyes filled with malicious mockery.

“Amelia, don’t tell me you slept with some old man to become DN’s ‘distinguished guest.”

The store fell silent.

Amelia slowly narrowed her eyes.

Then she walked toward Brittany step by step.

Her pace was relaxed.

Almost casual.

She stopped directly in front of her.

“Say that again.”

Brittany lifted her chin arrogantly.

“I’ll say

it

a

if I want!”

“You’re just a girl who slept with an old man-”

SLAP.

The crisp sound of a palm striking flesh echoed through the boutique.

Brittany’s head snapped to the side.

Her cheek burned instantly.

“Amelia! You dare hit-”

SLAP.

Another slap landed before she could finish.

Amelia’s face remained completely expressionless.

Brittany opened her mouth again-

But Amelia suddenly grabbed her collar,

And then-

SLAP. SLAP. SLAP,

Left.

Right.

Left again.

Several brutal slaps rained down in rapid succession.

Chapter 22 The Most Distinguished Guest

By the time Amelia let go-

Brittany’s face was swollen like a balloon.

She collapsed onto the floor, crying loudly.

Amelia flexed her wrist slightly.

“Are you stupid?

“If I tell you to repeat it, you actually do?

“Still want to try again?”

Her hand throbbed slightly.

Damn.

She had used a little too much force.

Brittany was completely terrified now.

She scrambled to her feet and hid behind Sophia, sobbing uncontrollably.

“I won’t say it again! I won’t!

“Please don’t hit me!”

Megan finally snapped.

Seeing her friend beaten like that, she lunged forward angrily.

“Amelia! How dare you hit Brittany!

“I’ll rip your face apart!”

She raised her hand-

But before it could land-

THUD.

Amelia kicked her straight in the chest.

Megan flew backward and crashed onto the floor,

Amelia looked down at her coldly,

“With those skinny little arms and legs,” she said indifferently, “you’re trying to start a catfight?”

Megan curled on the ground, gasping,

It felt like her ribs had shattered.

Cold sweat poured down her pale face.
