Revenge Looks Good on Me (Amelia and Sebastian) novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Taking Action

But wait…

“The maid died?” Amelia was genuinely confused. She only knocked the maid out. How did she end up dead?

Selena nodded. “My dad confirmed it.”

Amelia instantly understood. The maid didn’t just “die“. Given the situation last night, she had to be silenced.

Amelia wasn’t a particularly sentimental person. If Harrison made that call, she wasn’t going to question it.

“Egbert Davis from the Davis musical dynasty is hosting a private recital next week. The first- place prize is a hundred million bucks.”

Amelia, who had been deep in thought, suddenly had dollar signs in her eyes. “A hundred million?! They just throw that kind of cash around?!”

These billionaires really don’t treat money like actual money, do they?!

Seeing Amelia look so starstruck, Selena rolled her eyes. “First place is a hundred million, second is eighty million, third is fifty million. But there’s a catch: the piano piece has to be completely original.”

“Piano, huh?” Amelia rubbed her chin, deep in thought.

Meanwhile, back at the Bennett estate.

Sophia was throwing a massive tantrum, smashing every fragile thing in her room to pieces. “That b*tch! How dare she make all those companies reject me?!”

With graduation approaching, her personal businesses were basically burning money. She originally planned to slap her name on a company as a “jewelry designer” to collect some easy dividends.

Instead, every top firm in Kingsley politely told her to kick rocks. A VP buddy of Dylan’s finally leaked the truth: Amelia had put out a blacklist under the name “Phantom,” ordering the industry to shut Sophia out.

William had just gotten home from work. He already looked exhausted and miserable, but hearing Sophia wrecking the house upstairs sent him over the edge. He stormed up and yelled, “Instead of throwing a fit and tearing the house apart, why don’t you figure a way out?! Because of your endless scandals, the Bennett Group is tanking!”

The sudden termination of the Sterling partnership had been a massive blow. On top of that, his oldest son, Alexander, had rallied the shareholders to completely split the company. Now William was left clutching the burning remains of the Bennett Group, overwhelmed by fires he couldn’t put out,

Coming home to find his ‘golden child‘ throwing a tantrum only pissed him off more.

Sophia instantly burst into loud sobs. “Dad, what am I supposed to do?! Amelia used the Sterlings‘ influence to blacklist me! No company will even look at me! How is this my fault?!”

Even the rich playboys she used to hook up with were avoiding her like the plague now.

It was all Amelia’s fault!

William didn’t have the patience for her crying. He snapped, “What the hell did I raise you for?! The Sterling Group is a massive empire! Can’t you figure out a way to get inside?! You get close to the man, you get the prize. Do I seriously have to spell this out for you?!”

With that, William scoffed in disgust and stormed back downstairs.

Hearing this, a lightbulb went off in Sophia’s head. A specific figure slowly materialized in her mind.

He’s right. If I get into the Sterling Group, I’ll definitely find a way to get close to Sebastian!

Late that night, Sophia went all out. Wearing a scandalously sexy black lace slip dress under an oversized coat, she lurked in the shadows of a nightclub’s underground parking garage.

Matthew Sterling, completely trashed after drinking with his sleazy buddies, stumbled out of the elevator. Sophia timed it perfectly and “accidentally” crashed right into his chest.

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! So sorry!”

“Sophia?” Seeing a beautiful woman, Matthew could barely stand straight. Especially since when he caught her, his hand “accidentally” brushed against her soft…

Sophia played the shy, flustered victim perfectly. “Oh, Matthew, it’s you! I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going, I… Ah!”

Just as she tried to step back, she ‘tripped‘ and fell right back into his arms.

Holding a woman smelling of expensive perfume, Matthew was instantly hooked. He flashed a creepy, lecherous grin. “What happened here?”

“I think I twisted my ankle.” Sophia pressed her soft, delicate body tightly against him. “Matthew… could you drive me home?”

Matthew was totally under her spell. He scooped her up effortlessly. “Sure thing. Hehehe. Let’s get you in the car.“
