The Heiress They Couldn't Break novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Forming an Alliance

Jeremy’s dark eyes narrowed, sharp like a knife. “Speak.”

Amelia didn’t rush. She said calmly, “I’m Amelia Nygard, the eldest daughter of the Nygards. But I’ve just cut ties with them.”

His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and the corners of his lips curved into a faint smile.

“The eldest daughter of the Nygards?” His tone was low, with a trace of amusement. “The real heiress they all dislike?”

Amelia lifted an eyebrow, a self–mocking smile on her lips. “Bad news sure spreads fast, doesn’t it? Seems like you know me well enough.

Jeremy chuckled coldly. “Those fools in the Nygards–cutting ties is the smartest thing you’ve done.”

The two families had always been business rivals, so it wasn’t surprising he knew about her situation.

Even so, Amelia was a bit surprised. She didn’t think this business tycoon would speak so harshly about her family.

She gave a light smile. “So, Mr. Curran, want to make a deal? I’ll cure your poison, and you become my backer.”

Her red lips parted as she spoke clearly, each word heavy with meaning.

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

The driver and bodyguard held their breath, afraid that their boss would order them to throw this bold woman out.

However, Jeremy only let out a low laugh, a flicker of interest flashing in his eyes. “Amelia, you’ve got guts.”

“Right back at you.” She stared back at him fearlessly. “You trust me to treat you, so I naturally get to make conditions.”

“Why?” he asked.

“Because my grandpa gave me 30% of the company shares. The Nygards won’t let me off, so I need your help against them.

“Also, I want your help.

“I want the Nygards to watch as the things they care about most are destroyed, one by one.”

Her voice was quiet and cold, but there was a fire burning in her eyes.

Amelia had originally wanted a peaceful life when she came back, but they forced her hand.

Well then, they would pay the price.

She would make sure they regretted it forever.

At the same time, she wanted to find out the truth behind her missing all those years ago.

From the moment she returned, she had sensed something was wrong.

She had pretended to be clueless before, but now she would find the truth.

Those who set her up would pay in full.

Their eyes locked, the tension heavy in the air.

After a long pause, Jeremy finally spoke, “Deal.

Then, suddenly, he reached out to the back of her neck, leaning in dangerously close. “But remember, anyone who works

with me

Either lives or dies with me”

Amelia stared straight back, pressing a silver needle to his throat. “Funny enough, that’s my rule with patients too.”

“If you do and Amelia glanced around. “Or we can go somewhere more private.”

Up front, the driver and bodyguard were so nervous they didn’t even dare to breathe.

About 30 minutes later, the cur pulled up in front of a quiet but luxurious villa.

Jeremy unbuttoned his suit and slowly took off his shirt, revealing a strong, lean body.

Amelia’s eyes fell on a deep scar on his lower back, surrounded by a strange purple bruise. She touched it lightly with her fingertip. “You were poisoned three years ago?”

Jeremy’s body went stiff. “How do you know that?”

That poisoning was something no one was supposed to know.

Amelia explained, “It’s Frostbone Poison. When the full moon comes, the pain feels unbearable. No one usually lasts more than three years.” She pulled out one of her needles. You must be tough. You’ve managed to survive this long.”

“Can you cure it?” he asked.

“Yes, but it will take five treatments, one every week.

She lifted her hands, and silver light flashed between her fingers as nine silver needles went straight into his pressure points accurately.

“Ugh… “Jeremy groaned, cold sweat forming at his temple.

She said calmly, “Hang on. The poison’s been in you too long–diving it out will hurt.”

Right after she spoke. Jeremy suddenly coughed out a mouthful of black blood!

“Mr. Curran!” The bodyguards outside rushed in instantly..

“Don’t move!” Amelia shouted. “It’s the poisoned blood.. It’s good that it’s coming out.”

She held Jeremy’s shoulder steady while pulling out the needles quidly with her other hand.

As the last needle was removed, his pale face visibly regained colon before their eyes.

Jeremy felt a subtle warmth spread from where the needles had bed for the first time, the constant cold inside him had eased

She gave a small smile. “Mr. Curran, are you looking for a long–term deal?”

“What are you scared?” he asked.
