The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Cloud Nine

She and her father had spent so long, working in secret, trying to uncover the biggest mole- and it turned out to be Elian all along.

She had suspected many people. She had suspected her brothers in the Nygard family. And yes, she had suspected him, too.

Amelia didn’t trust many people in this lifetime.

But compared to suspicion, what she’d given him was trust.

Because that man had played his role flawlessly.

He hadn’t revealed a single suspicious detail, and on top of that, there was the connection of him being the grandson of her grandfather’s old subordinate.

So, Amelia hadn’t pushed her doubts too far.

Not only had she refrained from doubting him, but she had even secretly discussed countermeasures with him on how to deal with Regina.

Who would’ve thought that the person strategizing with her had already been the enemy’s mole all along?

The irony was almost laughable.

And yet now, everything suddenly made sense.

No wonder Regina had been so confident and fearless.

It was because of Elian.

She had even thought the real traitor was someone else—that as long as she and Elian worked together, they could handle it.

She never expected things to turn out this way.

Looks like even she could misstep sometimes.

If things hadn’t escalated so suddenly-if there had been

any other option-

Amelia wouldn’t have wanted to rely on senior management and shareholders to counter Regina and her daughter.

In the end, relying on herself was still the safest path.

It seemed the battle ahead would only grow fiercer.

Now that Regina had seized Nygard Group’s decision-making power first, reclaiming it would. inevitably throw the company into major upheaval.

“Not bad, Elian. You do have good judgment. So rest assured-I won’t disappoint you or your team,” Regina said calmly, having long known what his choice would be.

She even deliberately turned to Amelia as she spoke.

“Amelia, you’re still young. There’s a lot you still need to learn. Why don’t you just let me handle things from here?

“I’ll make sure Nygard Group is run smoothly and taken to even greater heights. You see-your mother and your brothers don’t have any objections either.”

Since Marcelo and his brothers, as well as Emery, weren’t present, Regina only grew more arrogant and self-assured.

In her mind, that sickly woman and those useless sons had already stepped aside-so what could Amelia possibly do on her own?

She was convinced that Amelia’s relationship with the Nygard family was so strained that no one there would support her.

As for the old hag and Thea-those two were useless.

Regina had already looked into it privately.

Thea was a married-out daughter and didn’t hold many shares to begin with.

And ever since Conrad passed away, the old hag had done nothing but eat vegetarian meals and pray, with neither the energy nor interest to manage Nygard Group.

The shares in her hands weren’t many either.

Even if the two of them teamed up to help Amelia, they could never stand against a united board of Nygard Group shareholders.

So, Regina knew this battle was already won.

Nygard Group was hers for the taking.

“That’s right, Amelia. You should listen to my mom’s advice. Instead of worrying about all this, you might as well focus your energy on Jeremy.

2/3

“Who knows-if you try harder to please him and curry favor with the Curran family, maybe you’ll even get the chance to marry into the family and live comfortably.”

Gianna, who had long wanted an excuse to step on Amelia, finally got her moment of triumph.

She couldn’t hold back, rattling on nonstop with sharp, sarcastic remarks.

Some of the fence-sitters who hadn’t dared speak earlier began voicing their opinions as well.

“Exactly. Ms. Jenkins and Ms. Gianna are right-Nygard Group hasn’t advanced in years. The old model no longer works.

“Bringing in fresh blood is a good thing. I hear Ms. Jenkins is an expert in this field—I’m looking forward to seeing a complete transformation of our company.”

“That’s right. I trust Mr. Carter’s judgment and the choice of most shareholders. There’s no way it could be wrong.”

Listening to wave after wave of praise and open support, Gianna felt like she could float.

She felt as if her glorious era had returned.

She couldn’t help but look at her biological mother with admiration.

As expected, only her own mother was truly capable. Once she stepped in personally, nothing ever failed.

The mother and daughter basked in the crowd’s adoration and support, casting disdainful glances toward Amelia.

“Amelia, this meeting is basically done. Afterward, I’ll make private arrangements with them regarding work. If there’s nothing else, you can head back now,” Regina said deliberately.
