Revenge Looks Good on Me (Amelia and Sebastian) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Breaking the Hired Help

Amelia was dressed in a pink Chanel suit, her long hair pulled back into a casual high ponytail. Her face was free of makeup, her skin glowing with a natural radiance that made her look effortlessly stunning.

For a moment, Julian found himself staring.

She was breathtaking–nothing like the “ugly duckling” she used to be.

“You ungrateful brat!”

William’s roar snapped Julian back to reality.

I actually thought that monster looked cute for a second. I must be losing my mind!

Amelia saw William and the rest of the clan emerge. She leaned casually against the car and scanned the crowd.

Nice welcome committee. You’re just missing a few party poppers.”

Sophia stood at the back, her eyes burning with a hunger to see Amelia destroyed for the leak.

But this worked out perfectly. Amelia was stupid enough to post from her verified account, giving them a perfect excuse to crush her.

Real daughter or not, the family would never forgive her for the hit to their stock price.

William reached out his hand toward the butler. “The cane. Now.”

The butler, ever the sycophant, hurried to hand over a thick wooden rod before stepping back to enjoy the

how.

The servants‘ favorite pastime was watching Amelia get beaten; it gave their twisted minds a sense of Satisfaction.

In her past life, Amelia would have trembled at the sight of that rod because of the daily beatings she endured.

But now, she just looked at the cane and felt an urge to laugh.

‘Corporal punishment again?” Amelia mocked, then turned her gaze to Julian. “And you call yourself a lawyer? Breaking the law in your own driveway. It’s pathetic.”

Julian’s expression stiffened as she hit the mark.

He used to love taking a switch to Amelia; he knew it was illegal, but the power trip was addictive.

“You slandered Sophia and the family, and cost us millions in stock. Did you really think you’d just walk away?”

Julian spat the words out, his eyes full of righteous fury.

“I never planned on running. Didn’t I sit right there and wait for you to find me?”

Amelia’s youthful face was still bright with a chillingly calm smile.

She had literally sat in the most obvious spot possible just to make sure they didn’t miss her!

Julian frowned, a sense of impending doom finally settling in his gut.

“Ge: on your knees, brat!”

William held the cane high, his veins bulging as he pointed it at her like a scepter of judgment.

“And if I don’t?” Amelia’s sharp gaze locked onto William’s, her intensity making him flinch internally.

How could a young girl radiate this much raw pressure?

Suddenly, Sophia ran forward and fell to her knees at William’s feet, sobbing hysterically. “Dad, I know Amelia has done horrible things and ruined our reputation, but please… she’s still your daughter.”

“Daughter?” William spat on the ground in disgust. “I don’t have a daughter this shameless. I’m going to beat her to death today!”

Eudora hurried over to pull Sophia away, muttering under her breath. “Sophia, stop begging for her. You’re the only daughter we recognize. I wish I’d never given birth to that thing.”

Sophia had played the role perfectly; she “begged” for Amelia while ensuring Eudora would disown her.

4melia must be heart–shattered right now, right?

Sophia glanced at Amelia, desperate to see a look of pain or fear on her face.

She was disappointed.

Amelia remained perfectly composed. No amount of vitriol from these “relatives” could hurt her anymore.

These people didn’t deserve to be called her family.

‘What are you waiting for? Grab her!”
