The Heiress They Couldn't Break novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237 Watch Out

Finished

Jeremy dodged to the side, the knife slicing through empty air. He kicked the guy hard in the knee, sending him to the ground with a cry of pain.

Amelia didn’t waste time. She snatched his knife, spun, and slashed, slicing his arm open.

That only made the rest angrier. Now, all eyes were on her.

“I thought they were coming after me, but turns out you’re the one they really want, huh?”

Jeremy handled the attackers like it was nothing, still calm enough to chat with Amelia mid- fight.

Looks like I’ll have to get her some protection. Never thought she’d have enemies like this.

Then again, she had been getting a lot of attention lately. It made sense that some people might be jealous.

Guess I ticked off the wrong people.

Amelia’s thoughts raced as she fought back.

She figured her idiot brothers wouldn’t go as far as trying to kill her.

More likely, it was someone helping Gianna.

She had been making Gianna’s life miserable lately, digging into Regina’s secrets and trying to expose the truth.

So, if Gianna wanted her gone, it wasn’t that far–fetched.

Jeremy grabbed a fallen branch and swung it, blocking attacks from all sides. The wood clashed against blades with sharp thwack–thwack sounds.

Amelia slipped through the chaos, her knife flashing as she took down anyone who got too

close.

The two of them fought like pros–numbers didn’t matter. The attackers started backing off

fast.

In the end, the men in black bolted, panicking as they ran.

Jeremy brushed the dust off his jacket, watching them run with a frown.

“They’re not done. Whoever’s behind this must be serious.”

He’d worried Wade might be the one pulling strings, maybe using Amelia to get to him.

But now, it clearly ran deeper than that.

Amelia wiped the sweat from her forehead and tossed her knife aside. “Whoever it is, I’m not scared. I just hate that you got dragged into it.”

Jeremy grinned, totally unfazed. “Come on, I’m not gonna stand by and let you get hurt.

“Still, maybe this is partly on me. I don’t know if Uncle Wade is involved, but we’ve gotta figure out who’s really behind this before it gets worse.”

Amelia nodded, thinking fast. “We should start with Gianna. She’s got someone powerful helping her. Maybe that’s our lead.”

She noticed Jeremy wasn’t hiding anything. He trusted her enough to share his family drama and secrets. So she didn’t hold back either.

“Alright,” he said. “If you find anything, let me know.”

They hopped in the car, completely in sync. Amelia started the engine, and they drove off like the fight had never happened.

“When we get to my place, stay for a bit. Take a shower and change before you leave,” Jeremy said, glancing at her.

They weren’t even dirty, but he still insisted.

Part of it was his little plan, but mostly, he was just worried.

He couldn’t shake the thought that those people might not back off and could go after her again if she were by herself.

“Uh, that’s not necessary. I don’t even have any clothes at your place,” Amelia said, quickly turning him down.

“That’s fine. I’ll have someone buy some,” Jeremy replied.

He didn’t keep any women’s stuff at home, but that didn’t matter. For him, getting clothes or anything else was easy. If his team couldn’t handle something that basic, they might as well quit.

“But-”

Before Amelia could finish, she noticed the car suddenly speeding up on its own.
