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.

“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.

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.

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.

“S–Sophia… call the police…

“She’s going to kill me!”

She clutched Sophia’s arm desperately.

At this point, both of Sophia’s loyal followers had been completely crushed.

For the first time-

Sophia felt a flicker of fear.

Since when did Amelia become this terrifying?

Her

eyes slowly shifted toward Amelia.

A horrifying thought suddenly crossed her mind.

She… wouldn’t hit me too, would she?

“Amelia, that’s going too far!” Sophia snapped, trying to sound righteous. “They’re my friends. How could you hit them? Apologize to them right now!”

But even as she spoke, Sophia swallowed nervously and took an involuntary step back.

Amelia’s gaze swept over the two girls beside her before she let out a mocking laugh.

“Apologize?” She pointed at them lazily. “You mean these two little lapdogs?”

“Who are you calling a lapdog?!” Megan shouted stubbornly, her voice shrill.

“You,” Amelia said flatly. “If you’ve got a problem with it, stand up and prove me wrong.”

She suddenly raised her voice and glared straight at Megan.

The effect was instant.

Megan’s bravado collapsed like a popped balloon. She shrank back, lowering her head like a frightened turtle retreating into its shell.

Amelia crossed her arms and sneered.

“You two used to jump at every chance to step on me whenever you saw me. What, you think I was just an easy target because I played it cool?”

Her voice turned ice cold.

“Let me make this clear. If I see either of you causing trouble again…”

She cracked her knuckles.

“I’ll beat you every single time.

“Did you hear me?”

Brittany and Megan immediately lowered their heads, their shoulders hunched.

“Good,” Amelia said with satisfaction, nodding as if she had just finished teaching a valuable life lesson. A pleased smile spread across her face.

“I’ve always believed in persuading people with virtue.”

Sophia stood there stiffly, her face a mask of pure irritation.
