Chapter 2 A Surprise Waiting for Amelia
The guests looked at each other and started whispering louder and louder.
“So, Vincent actually likes Gianna?”
“Isn’t it clear? Didn’t you notice? Even the Nygards treats Gianna better.”
“Yeah, honestly, Gianna feels more like their real daughter.”

“Exactly! Amelia disappeared for years. Who knows what she went through? Compared to Gianna, she doesn’t stand a chance. Gianna outshines her in every way.”
People stared at Amelia with mocking and pitying eyes, but she didn’t react at all.
She acted as if they weren’t even talking about her.
Josie almost exploded with anger. “Amelia …”
She looked at Amelia, worry written all over her face. Hurtful words from strangers didn’t matter, but wounds from family cut the deepest.
Amelia only gave a calm smile. “I’m fine.”
She had already given up. There was nothing left to care about.
Just then, her phone screen lit up. A text from Gianna showed up, only two words, “I won.”
Amelia looked at it and let out a small laugh.
She smiled, but it was a cold smile, laced with deep disdain.
If Gianna wanted leftovers, she could take them.
This marriage was just a deal between the Desters and the Nygards. Amelia was never the kind of person to beg or settle.
She took off her engagement ring and dropped it into a champagne glass.
Clink!
The ring sank to the bottom, making tiny splashes.
Josie’s eyes widened. “Amelia, you …
“It’s over!”
Amelia turned around, held up her dress, and walked out of the banquet hall without a glance back.
The guests moved aside to let her pass. Everyone was stunned by the cold aura
she
gave off.
At Centría Hospital.
The VIP room smelled faintly of disinfectant.
Gianna sat in a hospital gown, white bandages wrapped around her head. Her eyes were red and watery, making her look weak and pitiful. “Vincent, I’m sorry. This is all my fault. You should go back. Today is your engagement with Amelia. Don’t let me ruin it
Vincent frowned and spoke in a calm, gentle voice. “This isn’t your fault. Just focus on getting better. Don’t say things like
that.
Gianna shook her head lightly. “But… I’m worried Amelia will misunderstand. I want to explain to her.”
“Gianna, don’t move! The doctor said you have a concussion and need rest! Silly girl, you’re injured yet still worried about others.” Emery held Gianna’s hand tightly, her face full of worry.

Then she looked at Vincent. “Vincent. Gianna has always been so thoughtful, not like Amelia, who’s so stubborn. You shouldn’t always spoil her.”
She spoke as if Amelia wasn’t even her own daughtern.
