Chapter 14 Matthew , realizing he had misunderstood Emily earlier , wanted to go and apologize to her after calming down . But before he even reached the door , he heard the sound of something shattering from inside the room , followed by Emily's voice , filled with resentment . " That damned Amelia . I thought everything would be fine as long as she was dead , but it seems I really underestimated her ! I don't know what tricks she used , but now everyone is grieving for her . " " She can't even rest in peace after death ! " Outside , Matthew heard Emily's words and immediately frowned . At first , he thought she had accidentally broken something and was a bit worried . But now , he withdrew his foot that was about to step inside , standing quietly outside the door , even lowering his own breathing . He wanted to know what else Emily would say when she thought no one was watching ! And she certainly did not disappoint him . " That bitch Amelia really has a tough life . The car accident , falling from the rooftop - none of it managed to kill her . " " But so what if her life was tough ? She's dead anyway . " Hearing this , Matthew's breath caught in his throat . So all those incidents were orchestrated by Emily ? The truth was that she wanted Amelia dead ? All the strange things that had happened recently suddenly connected Chapter 14 together . The reason Emily wasn't surprised or saddened by Amelia's death was because she had planned it all . From beginning to end , what she wanted was Amelia's death , to completely replace her position in the Ackrea family . Matthew suddenly pushed open the door , his eyes bloodshot , staring fiercely in Emily's direction . The shards of the glass cup were scattered across the floor , making it clear at a glance what had happened . And the woman whose face was still twisted with rage , unable to hide her expression in time - who else could it be but Emily ? When she heard the sound and looked up , she met his gaze directly . Having lost her usual gentle facade , he could hardly believe that this was the same Emily who , in the past , had only ever been a little spoiled thanks to the Ackrea family's affection . But thinking of what she had just said , everything now seemed to make perfect sense . Matthew walked up to her , lowered his gaze , and looked down at her panicked expression . When he spoke again , his voice was laced with barely suppressed fury . " Emily , what really happened with the fall from the window ? Was it truly Amelia trying to frame you ? " Hearing his words , she knew he had overheard what she just said . To say she wasn't flustered would be a lie , but she eventually managed to compose herself . She tentatively reached out to hold Matthew's hand . Seeing that he didn't pull away , she felt a bit more confident and put on her usual demeanor Chapter 14 again . " Matt , let me explain ... " Before she could finish , voices from Kyler and the servants came from downstairs . " Where's Emily ? " " Miss has gone to bed . Please come back tomorrow . " Then came the sound of footsteps ascending the stairs . The next moment , Kyler appeared in front of Emily , eyes red and full of rage . Seeing him like this , a wave of intense panic suddenly surged in Emily's heart . But after a moment , she regained her composure . " Kye , why are you coming to see me so late ? I don't blame you for what happened today anymore . I know it was because of Lia ... ah ! " But before she could finish , Kyler slapped her hard , sending her sprawling to the floor . Emily clutched her burning , swollen cheek , looking at Kyler in disbelief . Soon , her eyes filled with tears , blurring her vision so she could barely see his expression . " Kye , how could you hit me ? " Her trembling voice seemed to plead her innocence , but the trick that had always worked in the past failed this time , only fueling his anger further . Kyler grabbed her by the throat , his eyes blazing with fury . " Even now , you still want to deny it ?! " Kyler's hand around Emily's neck tightened , and golden spots began to dance before her eyes . The intense suffocation made her instinctively claw at his hand . She opened her mouth , gasping desperately for air , but Chapter 14 it was all in vain - her throat only grew drier , and nothing else helped . Fortunately , perhaps seeing her distress , he finally showed some mercy . and let go . A terrifying mark appeared on Emily's fair neck , but she couldn't care less , greedily gulping in fresh air . Yet her hair was yanked hard , forcing her to lift her head and look at him . " What exactly did you do to Amelia ? Why did you deceive us like this ! " Kyler threw Emily to the ground , her head hitting the table and blood . seeping from her forehead . But neither of the two present showed any concern for her . Kyler threw all the documents containing the truth at Emily . The sharp edges of the paper cut her skin , drawing tiny beads of blood . " All the evidence is right in front of you . What else do you have to say for yourself ! " Matthew crouched down and picked up the scattered reports from the floor . All the truths of the past were laid out before him , and his eyes were filled with disgust as he looked at Emily . Hayden and Melanie , hearing the commotion , rushed over . Seeing Emily kneeling on the floor with blood streaming down her forehead , they hurried inside . " How could you two treat Emmy like this ! " As Melanie spoke , she tried to help Emily up from the floor , but Matthew stopped her . " Take a look at what your precious Emmy has done ! "
