The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 426

Chapter 426 The Performance of a Lifetime

As she spoke from the heart, Whitney’s eyes grew misty. She was clearly deep in character.

Finished

Not only was she fully committed, but she was also genuinely moved. Even an award-winning actress couldn’t match her performance.

Amelia believed every word. Her heart ached for that frustrating man, and she nodded earnestly in

agreement.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Curran. He and I are already business partners, and he’s always helping me out. Something small like this is no problem at all.”

Hearing this, Whitney finally felt at ease.

It seemed her son’s happiness and moment in the spotlight were just around the corner.

Yes, Jeremy was very satisfied, feeling pleased as punch inside.

The only one left out, stuck playing the role of background decoration, was Bridget, who rolled her eyes dramatically several more times.

This was utterly ridiculous. For the sake of that wretched girl, both of them were putting on this whole sob story act!

Was it really necessary?

She was just a Nygard daughter, one who had fallen out with her family and was surrounded by scandals and mystery.

How could she possibly compare to Sabrina?

The Jordans were in a completely different league than the Nygards, and Sabrina herself was so accomplished.

She and her grandson were the perfect match.

But no matter how dissatisfied she felt inside, it was useless. No one gave her an opening to speak.

And even if she rolled her eyes a hundred times, no one would notice.

Finally, unable to stand it any longer, she decided to head home.

“I’m leaving. I have a card game to get to.”

She couldn’t watch this anymore.

She was afraid that if she kept watching, her blood pressure would shoot through the roof.

“Alright then, I’ll have the driver take you,” Whitney responded cheerfully,

She turned and gave Randy a quick word, and a driver was ready to go in an instant.

Bridget was fuming.

These two didn’t even try to get her to stay. How infuriating!

Her dissatisfaction had reached its peak, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.

In the end, she could only swallow her anger and slip away.

It seemed she would have to find a way to make this Amelia back off.

If this troublemaker actually married into the Currans, who knew what kind of trouble she’d stir up?

Never mind whether the Nygards would use their in-law status to come knocking for favors all the time.

Just the fact that her daughter-in-law and grandson were being led around by the nose and wrapped around this girl’s finger was absolutely unacceptable.

After Bridget left, Amelia felt she had eaten enough.

Checking the time, she wondered if she should head out soon too.

She felt like she had already stayed quite a while.

Originally, she had planned to come over, discuss the project they were developing, have a simple meal, and be done in about two hours or so.

But now she had far exceeded that estimate.

Seeing that Amelia was about to leave, Whitney couldn’t bear to let her go.

She felt like her son hadn’t talked enough or gazed at his crush nearly enough.

Besides, once she left, finding another excuse to invite her over as a guest probably wouldn’t be so easy.

“Oh my, I don’t know what’s been going on lately, but keep getting this pain in my chest, and I’ve been feeling dizzy too.

“Amelia, Jeremy tells me you’re an excellent doctor. Could you take a look at me?”

Faced with Whitney’s dedicated performance, Amelia had no choice but to pretend she didn’t see through

She could pretty much guess what Whitney was trying to do.

She quickly steadied her and said, “Of course, let me check your pulse.”

Everyone moved from the dining room to the living room couch, where Amelia carefully took her pulse.

After a long moment, Amelia cleared her throat softly. “Ahem, Mrs. Curran, you’re in excellent health.”

And that was no exaggeration. Her physical condition could easily beat 90% of people in the country,

She clearly had great habits-going to bed early and rising early, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.

On top of that, Whitney worked in PharmaCore 01, so she knew exactly how to take care of her body. As a valued scientist, she surely had thorough annual checkups.

So Amelia could say without hesitation that Whitney was probably in even better shape than her own son.

Well, this was awkward. That approach clearly wasn’t going to work.

But she didn’t have any better ideas.

“Really? But I always feel like something’s off. During my last checkup, they said I had mild anemia.

“Amelia, I feel like the nutritionist’s methods just aren’t working anymore after all this time. I’ll be home for a while.

“Could you maybe stop by now and then to check on me and help me with some wellness treatments? I would be so grateful.”
