Diana warned, “From what I see, the Nygards are trying to match you with Amelia again. Don’t screw it up this time. Got it?”

She was close with Emery, which was why their kids were pushed into that engagement in the first place.

Truthfully, Diana always liked Gianna better. Everyone knew the Nygards spoiled her.

Plus, Gianna was obedient, smart, talented, and easy to control.

Amelia, on the other hand, had disappeared for years. Nobody knew what she’d been through or if she’d even come back the same.

And when she finally returned, she was harder to predict and nearly impossible to control. Diana couldn’t stand her.

Aside from being pretty, Amelia didn’t seem to have much value.

But nobody expected Conrad left her 30% of the family shares before he died.

That instantly made her important.

“Don’t worry. I also want to fix things with Amelia,” Vincent admitted. Deep down, he still wanted her back.

Every time he saw her, she seemed brighter.

She wasn’t just more beautiful and captivating now–she carried herself with a fresh confidence and maturity. On top of that, her career was thriving.

Seeing her handle everything with such grace, practically shining with self–assurance, Vincent was filled with regret.

He regretted breaking their engagement so easily.

He used to think winning her back would be simple, but now she felt out of reach.

He blamed Jeremy for it.

Amelia probably figured Jeremy had more money and a higher status, so she dumped their relationship without hesitation.

Vincent felt it wasn’t even wrong for him to mess around a bit with Gianna. Amelia was the one who cheated first.

So, he didn’t even feel guilty. He actually thought reaching out now was him being generous.

“As long as you know better this time. Don’t repeat the mistake of dumping her for Gianna.

“Look, women are everywhere. When you’ve got power, money, and fame, they’ll line up.

“That 30% of shares Amelia holds is way more important.”

Diana kept reminding him, worried her son would screw things up again.

“Amelia, they truly put in the effort. It’s rare for us all to sit together like this. It feels good.”

Her eyes stayed locked on Amelia, waiting for her to slip up and show embarrassment.

She was trying to push Amelia’s buttons, hoping she’d snap like before and make her brothers even more fed up with her.

Amelia shot Gianna a bored look, clearly not buying her fake sweetness. She could see straight through the act.

“Oh,” she answered flatly, not wasting any more words.

When Gianna realized Amelia wasn’t reacting, it only made her more irritated, though she kept pretending to be gentle.

“Amelia, our brothers truly tried this time. Don’t let all that effort go to waste.”

Marcelo and Miguel, who had been planning to talk with Amelia, saw Gianna playing the soft one while Amelia stayed distant. That just made them even angrier.

Amelia stared at their two–faced expressions and sneered inwardly, refusing to give them any reply.

If it weren’t for Ursula and Thea, she wouldn’t have even bothered coming, much less cared about anyone’s feelings here.
