Revenge Looks Good on Me (Amelia and Sebastian) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 The Return of the Shadow King

Amelia had known all along that Sophia would wear that dress to the gala; she had orchestrated the encounter with Irene to expose the fraud.

It was a calculated move to strip Sophia of her reputation–a precise strike against her and the entire Bennett family.

The more Lucas thought about it, the deeper his hatred for Amelia grew.

‘Oh, please! Sophia is the one who tried to show off in a fake royal gown. Do none of you have a functioning brain?”

Amelia looked down at her wrist, which was turning a bruised red under Lucas’s grip. Her temper had inally reached its limit.

Let her go, Lucas!”

ulian pried Lucas’s hand away, his six–foot frame stepping in front of Amelia as a protective shield. “Don’t vorry, Amelia. I’ve got you.”

He then turned a sharp, judgmental gaze on Lucas. “Sophia made her own bed. Instead of bullying Amelia, why don’t you figure out how to fix this PR disaster?”

The Bennett Group had already taken a hit from Sophia’s previous scandals, and Julian’s law firm had been

uried under legal threats.

He was done cleaning up her messes.

t was her own vanity that led her to flaunt a fake in front of the real designer. It was beyond pathetic.

Julian, are you really turning your back on Sophia? She’s the sister who grew up with us! You’re choosing his monster over her?”

Ever since her return. Lucas felt that both his brothers had been brainwashed.

sophia spent her days in tears, recounting Amelia’s supposed “sins,” and Lucas’s hatred for Amelia had >ecome bone–deep.

If you feel so bad for her, go bankrupt trying to save her. I’m out of here.”

Amelia rubbed her reddened wrist, a confident smirk playing on her lips as she turned to leave.

Watching Irene slap the pride out of Sophia’s face had been incredibly satisfying.

She hadn’t taken two steps when Sophia, her eyes wild with murderous intent, charged at her with a gleaming fruit knife.

“Amelia, what did I ever do to deserve this from you?!”

“If you want to ruin me, then we can both rot in hell together!”

Chapter 56 The Return of the Shadow King

Finished

In a heartbeat, Sophia was on her. She raised the blade high above her head and swung it down with everything she had.

“Die!”

It happened too fast for the crowd to even process.

“Amelia!”

Julian let out a frantic roar, sprinting toward her.

But he was too far; there was no way he could intercept the blade in time!

Sophia was beyond reason, her mind consumed by the singular need to kill.

At the absolute last second, a large, powerful hand clamped down on Sophia’s wrist with a sickening crack.

Clatter!

“Ahlph!”

The knife hit the floor at the same time Sophia shrieked in pain, and Amelia found herself pulled into a warm, solid embrace.

The familiar, crisp scent of white tea filled her senses. She took a deep breath and gasped, “Sebastian!”

Sebastian Sterling was actually back!

After a three–day business trip, a faint shadow of stubble lined his sharp jaw. He looked down at her with a mix of relief and stern disapproval.

“Why are you in a place like this without security?”

If he hadn’t moved like lightning, that blade would be in her chest right now.

Did this woman have a death wish?!

Amelia shrank into his chest, looking like a guilty kitten. “I didn’t think she’d actually go postal and try to murder me in a ballroom.”

In her memory, Sophia was a sneaky snake who hid behind her brothers.

She hadn’t realized how fragile the girl’s facade was. This was just the beginning, and she was already trying to kill someone.

She’d have to keep a much closer eye on this lunatic from now on.

Sebastian rested a heavy palm on her head, ruffling her hair. “Be more careful.”

“Fine…” Amelia muttered under her breath.

“Amelia, are you okay?” Julian hurried over, his face pale with worry.

Amelia rolled her eyes, refusing to even acknowledge him.

Julian felt a sharp pang of rejection, instantly redirecting his fury toward Sophia.
