Chapter 10 Amelia did not struggle at all , letting the river swallow her whole . Scenes from the past flashed before her eyes . Amelia thought , if she could do it all over again , she would never want them again . She smiled and closed her eyes , never to wake again . Meanwhile , at her birthday party . Kyler and Matthew stared at the phone that had just been hung up , a sense of unease rising in their hearts . The two exchanged a glance , and Kyler was the first to speak . " Amelia won't be in trouble , will she ? " Matthew held the phone , not sure if he was comforting himself or Kyler . " What could possibly happen to her ? She cherishes us so much . She probably just wants us to go find her , that's all . " Lillianna walked over with an innocent look on her face . " Is Lia not coming ? Is it because she hates me ? " Hayden and Melanie were also full of anger . " We've already decided to forgive her , and yet she still dares to throw a tantrum . After all these years , she still has that strange temper . " Looking at the aggrieved Lillianna , Melanie gently pulled her into her arms . " It's all right , your mom and dad will always be on your side . If she can't accept you , then she shouldn't expect to have our love . " With this reassurance , Lillianna curled her lips into a smug smile where no one could see . Amelia , you'll never be able to beat me . " Since Amelia doesn't want to come , let's turn this birthday party into Emmy's official recognition ceremony . From now on , she's not Lillianna , she's Emily , the eldest daughter of the Ackrea family , and the child your mother and I love the most . " " But ... " Kyler wanted to say something more , but was stopped by Emily . Lia is probably just trying to use this to get your and Matt's attention . As for what you wanted to talk about today , just tell her tomorrow . Lia definitely won't blame you or Matt . " As she spoke , she reached out to take Matthew's hand . " Come on , let's go cut the cake together . This time , Melanie specially picked my favorite flavor and style . " Hearing her say this , Kyler and Matthew had no choice but to put their phones aside and celebrate Emily's birthday with her again . By the time the birthday party ended , it was already early morning . Kyler had drunk a little and was slightly tipsy . Suddenly , a sharp ringing sounded , snapping his alcohol - fogged mind awake . " Hello , are you a relative of Miss Amelia ? " Hearing Amelia's name , Kyler quickly replied , " Yes , is something wrong ? " For some reason , even before the person on the other end answered , Kyler's heart began to race , as if it was about to leap out of his throat . Matthew , standing beside him , also held his breath , waiting for the answer from the other end . " I'm sorry to inform you that Miss Amelia jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and committed suicide at 8 p.m. tonight . We did everything we could to save her , but we were unable to bring her back . She left some belongings at the scene . Please let us know when you can come to collect them . " The staff member's voice still echoed in his ears , but Kyler could no longer make out the words . His mind buzzed , his thoughts coming to a sudden halt . Suicide ? How could Amelia choose to end her own life ? There must be something wrong . She must just be angry , and got someone to trick him on purpose . That was what Kyler thought , but his hand holding the phone wouldn't stop trembling . " Hello , Mr. Shen , are you still there ? " " Is this fake ? Did Amelia put you up to this to trick me ?" Kyler shouted hoarsely , desperate for an answer that would put his mind . at ease . " I'm sorry , Mr. Gibson . We regret Miss Amelia's passing , but Ms. Ackrea chose to jump into the river herself . " Hearing these words , Kyler felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen . A sharp ringing exploded in his ears , and the sounds of everything around him grew more and more distant . Matthew was also frozen in place , unable to believe the news no matter what . Chapter 10 " Did Amelia ask you all to trick me together ? " Facing Matthew's doubts , " I'm sorry , I know this is hard for your family to accept , but I'm truly sorry . I still hope you can come as soon as possible to take care of Miss Amelia's remains . " Emily walked over and saw the two of them standing there in a daze . " Kye , Matt , what's wrong with you ? " Kyler pushed her hand away and strode out . Matthew didn't have the patience to explain either , and followed Kyler out . Looking at the red mark on her hand where she'd been pushed away , Emily felt a surge of displeasure , mixed with a trace of unease . But that unease quickly faded away . What could possibly happen ? Now her biggest obstacle was Amelia , but whether in the hearts of the Ackrea family or in Kyler's heart , Amèlia couldn't even compare to a single strand of her hair . Chapter it
