Amelia gave a small, knowing smile. “There’s datura pollen in here. Smells nice, don’t you think?”
“You bitch!” Alexandra Salmeron spat, rage twisting her face as she lunged at Amelia. But Amelia just stepped aside with ease, letting Alexandra crash to the floor.
“Amelia, you really think you’re getting out of here today?” Alexandra hissed, her hands shaking as she fumbled in her purse for her phone. But her head was spinning so badly she dropped it, the phone clattering uselessly across the floor.
She stretched out, desperate to grab it, but Amelia casually kicked it away.
“Trying to call Daniel? Let me do it for you.” Amelia’s voice was cool, almost bored.
She stared down at Alexandra for a beat, then pulled out her own phone and dialed right in front of her. Less than a minute later, the door swung open. Daniel was dragged in by two huge men, his arms pinned, feet barely touching the ground.
“Ma’am, I just got to the stairs and these guys—” Daniel’s voice shook, eyes wide with fear.
Amelia waved her hand and the men hauled him right back out.
Alexandra’s face, already pale, turned paper white.
“Alexandra, I’ve spent years in the Salmeron family. I’ve done everything expected of me as your daughter-in-law. I’ve never wronged any of you,” Amelia said, her voice tight with anger. “Now that I want a divorce, this is what you do to me? You want to ruin me?”
Alexandra let out a harsh, bitter laugh. There was no regret in her eyes.
“My daughter-in-law? Don’t flatter yourself. If you’d died in childbirth five years ago and left my son with only the twins, maybe I’d have let you into the Salmeron family cemetery. But you had to wake up. And now you want to leave, take his assets, and both kids? Amelia, you’re greedy. You want everything.”
Amelia closed her eyes for a moment, steadying her breath.
She didn’t bother arguing anymore. She pointed at Caroline. “Take her to the other room.”
That was when Alexandra panicked, suddenly realizing what was waiting in there—the four drugged men. She finally looked scared.
“No... Amelia, please, don’t hurt my daughter!”
She scrambled across the floor, grabbing at Amelia’s feet.
“If you touch Caroline, I’ll never let you go!” Alexandra threatened, but Amelia’s face stayed cold. Caroline was already being dragged away, and Alexandra’s fear just kept growing.
