" Vincent ... Gianna gently tugged his sleeve , her eyes a little red . " Don't be mad . Maybe Amelia is just trying to annoy you ... " Vincent couldn't believe Amelia could move on so fast . He was sure she was just angry with him . Seeing Vincent lost in thought , Gianna panicked a little inside . Bitch ! Amelia , just wait ! She silently thought , gritting her teeth . At the party , everyone was laughing and chatting . Jeremy , who rarely went to events like this , had a lot of people coming over to greet him . He was there tonight to stop rumors . Recently , the media had been hinting that he was very sick . If he didn't show up , the company's stock might drop . Amelia wasn't interested in the business gossip . She wanted to get some fresh air , so she headed to the hotel's small garden outside . She had just had a little bit of wine . The air outside was nice , and there was a swimming pool sparkling in the light . Seeing Amelia go outside , Gianna smiled to herself and followed her outside . " Amelia . " Amelia rolled her eyes . Can't I get a little peace ? She turned and saw Gianna putting on a sweet , soft smile . She said , " No one's here . Stop pretending . What do you want now ? " Gianna's smile quickly turned cold as she dropped the act . " Amelia , you did this on purpose , didn't you ? You left the family . You should stay away and not show up in front of us , " Gianna said , trying to make Amelia angry . " Shouldn't you , the fake one , stay away ? You know Vincent is my fiancé , but you run to him for every little thing . " Amelia shot back coldly . " Vincent and I only talk about work . I'm his company's spokesperson , " Gianna argued . " Really ? Other than prostitutes with clients , I've never seen work that required so much hugging and touching . " " You ! " Gianna was about to argue when she suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking toward them . She stepped forward , her eyes sharp and cold . When she reached the poolside , she sneered . " Amelia , you brought this on yourself " Suddenly , she fell backward into the pool . Splash ! " Help ! Amelia , why did you push me ? Gianna screamed , thrashing in the water . Amelia stood at the poolside , watching her act coldly . Gianna had chosen this spot carefully , well away from the security cameras . Soon , Vincent heard the commotion and rushed over . Seeing this scene , his face turned red with rage . " Amelia ! Are you crazy ? " Without waiting , he jumped into the pool and pulled the wet Gianna out . She shivered in his arms , crying . " Vincent , I just wanted to apologize to Amelia . I didn't think she would ... " " Amelia ! Since when did you get so mean ? " Vincent shouted in anger . He had come to find Amelia to calm her down . But after seeing this , that thought vanished instantly . Amelia crossed her arms , smirking . " Vincent , are your eyes just for show ? You really can't see through such an obvious trick ? " Vincent snorted . " A trick ? Gianna is like this and you're still making excuses ? I can't believe you're this kind of person . " " Vincent , don't blame Amelia . She probably misunderstood our relationship . She didn't mean it , " Gianna said softly , shrinking into his arms . Because of the commotion , more and more people had gathered to watch . Soon , everyone felt sorry for Gianna , " Gianna , the same old trick again ? Don't you have any new tricks ? " Amelia teased . " Amelia , I don't know what you're talking about ," Gianna mumbled , looking down . Amelia pressed her lips together , then walked over . In one swift motion , she picked Gianna up like a little kitten and shoved her right back into the pool . Gianna was caught by surprise and flailed in the pool , looking pathetic . Amelia's eyes were cold , and her voice was sharp . " If people are going to blame you for something you didn't do , you might as well actually do it . Fine , this time I pushed you . I admit it ! " Everyone around gasped in shock . Vincent stared at Amelia , unable to believe it . " Amelia , how could you . Amelia smirked . " Since I'm going to be blamed anyway , I might as well make it real . " She looked down at Gianna , still splashing in the water . " Hey , is the water nice and cool ? If you want to keep playing , I don't mind giving you a few more pushes ." Gianna choked on water , her makeup running , and her once - perfect hair now clung messily to her face . She looked like a drowned cat . She never thought Amelia would actually do it . No one helped her , so she had to climb out by herself while everyone stared at her suspiciously . She looked at Amelia , who stood there calm and collected . Now it was Gianna who looked scared and embarrassed . Everyone began to realize what had really happened , Gianna had staged the whole thing herself . People looked at her with pure dislike . How could someone so fake also be so sneaky ? What were the Nygards thinking ? By now , the Nygards had heard the commotion and rushed over . Seeing Gianna in such a miserable state , Emery got very angry and yelled at Amelia . Amelia just stood there , calm and unbothered , as if the scolding wasn't ant for her . +8 Pearls P Chapter 8 A Scheme She Acted Out Herself At that moment , Jeremy arrived with a few bodyguards in tow . He asked Amelia , ignoring everyone else , " Are you okay ? Need a hand ? " Amelia shook her head lightly . " Nope . Just some cheap tricks , nothing to worry about . " Then she looked at Gianna . " Here , I've got a little gift for you . " She pulled out her phone and played the video of Gianna's staged pool stunt for everyone to see . When the video finished , Amelia and Jeremy just walked away . Gianna was trembling , her lips shaking , unable to say anything . Her carefully planned trick had just been exposed in front of everyone . Vincent looked at her , his face full of mixed feelings . " Gianna , why would you do that ? " Gianna turned pale , tears streaming down her face . " Vincent , let me explain ... Vincent's eyes showed a hint of disment . " Gianna , never do something like this again . " The guests around them were whispering louder and louder . " Wow , she actually jumped in herst to frame someone else . " " This is way too sneaky .
