But then Gianna suddenly remembered something and quickly told Raymond , " Dad , don't forget , Amelia still has the shares . Grandpa gave her . Maybe she sold them ? Could that be how she got the money ? " It could be possible . " She wouldn't dare ! " Raymond shouted , his voice loud and sharp . " Dad , we should still make her come back , get the shares from her , and then cut all ties with her , " Maxwell added . " Find out where she's living now . We must track her down , " Raymond said seriously . " Okay . I'll send someone to check it right away , " Maxwell replied . " Stop thinking about that rebellious girl . Gianna , focus on getting ready for the charity gala this Saturday , " Emery said . Gianna nodded , " Got it , Mom . " She had gone out today exactly for that reason . But running into Amelia had ruined her plans completely . Now that she was the only daughter of the Nygards , she had to look perfect and make everyone notice her . Back in her room , Gianna casually told Vincent everything she had seen and heard today . Meanwhile , things at the Desters were in chaos , too . Because Vincent had left during the engagement party , ruining the whole event . Now Amelia wanted to break off the engagement , and apparently , she had cut ties with the Nygards . What could they do now ? When Vincent read Gianna's message , his face turned dark . " What is Amelia trying to do now ? " he muttered . Vincent's father , Bentley Dester , snorted , " Now you care ? Where was this responsibility when you ran out of the engagement party ? You made our family look like fools ! " Vincent's mother , Diana Dester , sighed , " Vincent , what were you thinking ? Amelia might be stubborn , but she's still the real daughter of the Nygards . How could you left the party ? " Vincent suddenly looked up , his eyes cold . " She's not the real heiress . The Nygards only recognized Gianna as the real daughter now ! " Bentley slammed his hand on the table . " You fool ! Do you think our family cares about that ? Amelia owns 30 % of the Nygard Group's shares . That's what matters ! If she marries into our family , all those shares become us ." The living room went completely quiet . Vincent snapped back to reality . That was exactly why he had wanted to marry Amelia in the first place . " Don't worry , Dad . I'll find Amelia and apologize . She's always liked me . If I talk to her nicely , she'll forgive me , " Vincent said confidently . Bentley's face softened a little . " It better work out . " Vincent had planned to ignore Amelia at first , hoping she would reflect on her mistakes . But he didn't expect her to be so stubborn - cutting ties with the Nygards and running away . He quickly grabbed his phone and sent Amelia a series of apology messages . His tone was gentle , as if he hadn't been the one P P . Vincent's face darkened with every passing minute . Finally , he tried calling her - only to find out he had been blocked ! " Damn it ! " He threw his phone onto the sofa , his eyes burning with anger . " Amelia , do you really think you can get rid of me that easily ? " Saturday . At the night of the charity gala , the most luxurious hotel in Brookhaven , Starluxe Hotel , glittered with lights . Everyone there was rich or powerful . Almost all the high society elites had shown up . Gianna wore a custom - made designer gown , her arm linked with Maxwell's as they walked in . She chose a deep wine - red gown that made her skin glow , with tiny crystals on the skirt sparkling under the lights . Everyone immediately stared at her . A proud smile spread across Gianna's face . This was the kind of life she was meant to enjoy - not like Amelia , that country girl who had foolishly cut ties with her family .. Amelia probably wouldn't get a chance to come to a glamorous event like this . " Gianna , Vincent's here ! Maxwell whispered . Gianna turned and saw Vincent walking toward her in a sharp suit , his eyes bright when he spotted her . But then she remembered something and pretended to look away , keeping a composed air . " Gianna , you look stunning tonight , " Vincent said , offering her a glass of champagne , his " Vincent , you made it . But Amelia ... " Gianna bit her lip , feeling hurt . eyes focused on her . Vincent was about to comfort her when the ballroom doors suddenly pushed open by the staff . A low murmur spread across the crowd . Everyone turned to look at the entrance . It was Jeremy ! The head of the Curran Group , known in the business world for his ruthless what surprised everyone more was the woman beside him . " Amelia ? Cianna almost spilled her champagne . Amelia wore a champagne - colored gown that made her skin look flawless . power , had rarely appeared at social events . But Unlike Gianna's flashy style , Amelia's look was simple and elegant , yet she had a charm that no one could copy . Vincent's face darkened . He stared at Amelia linking arm - in - arm with Jeremy , his eyes full of anger . " Amelia ! " He stepped forward , but Jeremy's cold glare stopped him . Amelia glanced at him coldly , like he was a stranger . P P Then she turned to the Nygards and gave a small , polite smile . " What a surprise . Didn't think I'd see you all so soon ." " Amelia . I need to talk to you . " Vincent said at last , desperate to explain himself . But Amelia just laughed coldly . " There's nothing more to say . The engagement is off ." Gianna ran over . " Amelia , how can you say that ? Vincent has been going crazy looking for you these past few days ! " " Looking for me ? Or for my shares ? " Amelia replied with a sly smile . Then she walked away with Jeremy . She had come tonight only to shake up the Nygards . Seeing the shock on their faces , she knew she had succeeded . Jeremy leaned close and whispered in her ear , " Happy now ? " Amelia's lips curved into a small smile . She whispered back , " This is just the start . " Jeremy chuckled softly , his eyes full of warmth . " Do whatever you please - I've got your back . " That had been the deal from the start . He would be her support . Their interaction caught the eyes of many of the high - society guests . Whispers quickly spread among the ladies and socialites nearby . Wow , Amelia really knows how to move . She actually got Jeremy ? That's the Currans ! " " Bet Vincent regrets it now . He gave up the real heiress for a fake . " Yeah , it seems you don't need hard work to rise through society . Just swap babies with a rich family , and even if the truth comes out , as long as they're attached , they treat the fake like a treasure and throw out their real daughter . Tsk , tsk !
