“So, is she really related to Jason Sanson?” Amelie lifted her eyes from the computer screen, fixing them on Anna, who had just entered her office at the Emerald Hotel. Anna took a seat across from her boss’s desk and placed a printed profile of Penelope Sanson in front of Amelie. 

“Yes, she is, Mrs. Ashford,” Anna replied, waiting for her boss to review the girl’s profile before continuing. “Penelope Sanson is Jason Sanson’s niece. She was accepted to the Brownstone Academy last month and will be studying there for the next three years. 

According to the information I managed to find, she is quite a bright young lady. Her parents own a chain of restaurants, so it is Mr. Sanson who pays for her studies. It was thanks to his connections that she was 

invited to join this year’s cotillion. His late aunt was a member of the DDS, and after her coming–of–age ceremony, she will be staying with him until she graduates from the academy” 

Amelie listened to Anna while her eyes slowly scanned the girl’s appearance in the photo attached to the

profile. 

‘She is sixteen but she looks rather young for her age… I guess it’s that slight chubbiness that makes her look somewhat innocent and cute. Yes, she looks nothing like Jason Sanson, that’s something she should be 

thankful for.‘ 

A light smile appeared on the woman’s lips as she made up her mind. 

“Send a response to the DDS board, please. Tell them that I chose Penelope Sanson to be my protege for the upcoming debutante ball.” 

Although Anna was already feeling somewhat 

surprised about Amelie’s interest in Penelope, hearing that she wanted to take her as her protege was definitely more than just unorthodox. 

“Mrs. Ashford, I am sorry if this is none of my business, but do you really want to get involved with the Sansons by taking this girl as your protege? Jason Sanson is connected to that woman, after all.” 

Anna’s words were more than just reasonable and Amelie understood her assistant’s concern. However, with Samantha’s newfound arrogance and

unconcealed plotting nature, she was now forced to take cautionary steps. 

If that woman had the audacity to bare her teeth at her, Amelie had to show her that she could do the 

same. 

‘After personally meeting Jason Sanson, I realized that heir connection has more to it than meets the eye. ‘enelope is my hidden ace card. I want Samantha to eel threatened because I can get closer to people who now more about her. I want that woman to be 

ervous too. This will be my warning to her; she houldn’t cross me.”

Samantha to take a seat and calm down. 

Once the waitress replaced his dropped spoon with a new one, he returned to eating his cold soup while offering Samantha a nonchalant reply. 

“You shouldn’t be acting so recklessly, Sam. I called you here today because I wanted to help you.” 

“Help me?” Samantha couldn’t help but snark at him. 

“How exactly can you help me right now?” 

Ignoring the woman’s unnecessary arrogance, Jason wiped his mouth with a napkin and smiled. “My niece, Penelope, is going to attend this year’s cotillion sponsored by the Daughters of Dignified Standing organization.” 

“So?” Samantha replied carelessly and the man’s lips stretched wider. “So? Are you really that stupid? Amelie Ashford is a member of the DDS. She has chosen Penelope as her protege. This means she will be in close contact with her for quite some time and you know… My niece is quite a big fan of Amelie’s, if that woman asks her to give her a kidney, she will gladly do so.” 

Samantha’s entire body shivered. She had met
