The Heiress They Couldn’t Break

Chapter 32 Hard Evidence

After discovering the memory card, Amelia took it home and worked on repairing it.

Finally, after hours of effort, she got it to work. The camera had captured the exact footage she had hoped for. The video clearly showed Gianna pushing her off the cliff.

Amelia smirked. Let’s see how the Nygards react when they watch this.

But not yet. She wasn’t ready to show her hand. Let Gianna dance a little longer.

“Gianna would never do something like that! Stop framing her!” Marcelo argued over the phone.

“Really?” Amelia replied coldly. “Then ask her yourself. Good thing I cut ties with you people, or else I’d probably end up just as rotten as you all.” She hung up without waiting for a response.

Marcelo listened to the beeping sound on the other end, his jaw tightening in anger.

Gianna walked over and asked concernedly, “Marcelo, what happened? Was it Amelia again? She’s gone too far! If she keeps this up, no director will ever

Want to work with our company again.”

That awful witch! She had ruined her own future and mine too.

As Gianna complained, Marcelo suddenly looked up. Amelia’s earlier words echoed in his mind.

Frowning, he asked, “When you two were filming that reality show, it was just you and Amelia by the cliff, right? How exactly did she fall?”

Gianna’s face went pale at the question. Her fingers twisted the hem of her dress. “Marcelo, why are you asking me that? S–she slipped and fell by herself!”

Marcelo locked his gaze on her shifty eyes. His stomach dropped.

He knew her too well.

Marcelo grabbed her wrist and demanded, “Tell me the truth!”

“Arghhh!” Gianna cried out in pain. Tears spilling down her cheeks. “Marcelo, you’re hurting me!”

Marcelo looked at her with a cold, unfamiliar expression. “Y–you really did it.”

Gianna knees gave up, and she fell on the ground with a thud. “I didn’t mean to! I was just so scared that Amelia would take everything from me!”

Marcelo’s face twisted in disappointment. “Do you realize what you’ve done? That’s a crime! You could go to prison!”

Gianna lifted her chin, defiant. “There were only the two of us there. If Amelia had any proof, she would’ve shown it already.”

That was the reason she dared to push Amelia–no witnesses, no evidence.

Marcelo sighed, torn between anger and guilt. “You acted on impulse. Amelia won’t let this go. You know. what kind of person she is.”

In his eyes, Gianna had always been spoiled and dramatic, but never reckless. Now he saw how wrong he’d

been.

Amelia was the type to always get even.

“Amelia! You heartless woman! You came back from filming and didn’t even call me. Do you even know what day it is today?” Josie’s mock–angry voice came through the line.

“I’ve been busy dealing with scumbags.” Amelia laughed. “But I was just about to call you. It’s your birthday today, isn’t it? I’ve already got your gift. Let’s meet up.”

“Seriously? You’re the best!” Josie cheered on the other end. “Tonight we’re doing something wild. I booked

us a booth at Siren Bar. Dress to kill. Let’s show the world what you’ve got and make that jerk Vincent regret everything.”

Amelia chuckled helplessly. “That breakup was ages ago. You’re still hung up on it?”

“Of course!” Josie huffed indignantly. “After the way that jerk treated you? I’ll hate him forever!”

After hanging up, Amelia stood before her wardrobe, thinking for a moment. Finally, she picked a black bodycon dress with a backless design–sexy yet elegant, perfectly showing off her graceful curves.

At nine o’clock sharp, Amelia arrived at Siren Bar.

As soon as she stepped inside, she heard Josie’s cheerful voice shouting across the room. “Amelia! Over here!”
