Chapter 633 June Is Back As A Foreign Merchant

Meanwhile, Dominic cleared his throat deliberately before asking somberly, “Melanie, why did you say those words to Amelia just now?”

Melanie retorted, “What am I supposed to say then? We weren’t really much of a parent to her, but she has been sacrificing a lot for the family. Anyway, I still have my sense of pride. Instead of living in sheer guilt as she continues to sacrifice generously for our family, it would be better if we cut ties with her earlier!”

Dominic was at a loss for words. His back seemed to have hunched even more.

After what seemed like an eternity, he let out a sigh. “Melanie, you’ve got the point. After Spencer recovers, let’s leave Tayhaven together. Don’t ever show up in front of Amelia again. Perhaps, that’s our best way to make it up to her.”

Even so, Melanie only remained silent.

Nobody knew if James’ medical skills had worked magic or because Spencer was fated to get through the obstacle. Miraculously, he had a speedy recovery after his operation and could even get down from bed two weeks later.

Gazing at Amelia, the middle-aged man stated earnestly, “Amelia, many thanks to you during this period. If not for you, I would surely meet my end at any moment. I feel bad for causing you a lot of inconveniences all this while.”

Staring at him, Amelia smiled gently. “Spencer, don’t ever say so. Since you have recovered, no words could describe how happy we are.” In actuality, Spencer did not really get along well with her when they were young. Somehow, there was an unexpected twist ever since he fell ill, and they could even chat

pleasantly at the moment. Even Spencer could sense the change in himself. Surprisingly, he seemed to be placing familial bonding over others as he grew older. He was suddenly regretful of fighting with her over trivial arguments and even hurt her feelings with harsh words numerously when they were young.

Scratching his head subconsciously, Spencer uttered guiltily, “Amelia, I’m terribly sorry for how I’ve treated you when we were young. I don’t know what I should do to repay your kindness. I can’t believe you’re willing to spend a few hundred thousand for my treatment despite how I had treated you. But don’t worry. After I’m healthy enough to work again, I promise I’ll pay back the money to you.”

Amelia shook her head at once. “Don’t mention it. Anyway, we’re family. As long as you can lead a peaceful life with Evelyn and bring your children up, I’ll be more than happy.”

“Sure! I will!” Spencer responded earnestly.

Amelia chuckled at his reaction.

At that moment, she was relieved to let bygones be bygones with Spencer. She even had a feeling that the Winters family were not as cold as they seemed.

She felt as if she was ready to let go of the past. Even if they would not cross paths with each other again in the future, she knew she would not have any regrets.

Spencer stayed for a few more days in the hospital. When the doctor announced he could be discharged, Melanie packed their things and prepared to go home.

Amelia helped to buy three flight tickets for them before sending them to the airport. When they were supposed to have their security check, she could not hold herself back anymore. After hugging them one by one, she said sincerely, “Dad, Mom, Spencer, feel free to give me a call at any time. I’m part of the family forever.” If only you all could see me as family too!

Inevitably, tears started to well up in Melanie’s eyes. She pretended not to care and replied, “Enough of that. You’d better go back early. We’ve to go through the security check now. Oh my! How embarrassing if we are to get on the plane in tears!”

Amelia could not fathom why she suddenly burst out laughing. In fact, she suddenly felt that Melanie sounded adorable in a way. In return, she responded coquettishly, “Mom, I love you very much. Call me when you’re free, okay? Don’t forget about your daughter.”

Melanie rolled her eyes at her before urging Dominic and Spencer to head for the security check. Within seconds, she was already on the brink of tears.

“You’re undoubtedly as stubborn as a mule. What’s wrong for you to tell Amelia that you’ll be missing her too?” Dominic mocked.

“Mind your words! I won’t miss her!” Melanie refuted adamantly.

“Then why are you crying?” Dominic pointed out at the sight of tears trickling down her cheeks.

“I’m not crying! It’s just the sand getting into my eyes.” Melanie came up with a random excuse, causing him to be utterly speechless.

Amelia only turned to leave when their silhouettes were finally out of sight. Nevertheless, there was an unmissable residue of longing in her eyes. She could not help wondering when they would be able to meet again.

At the thought of that, she got into Oscar’s car in low spirits.

The latter tried to cheer her up by saying, “If you really miss them later, we can visit them at any time. After all, anywhere is accessible with the advanced transportation system nowadays.”

Leaning her back against the backseat, Amelia replied resignedly, “I’m afraid they’ll not be happy to see me.”

“No matter what, you’re still their daughter. I bet there aren’t any parents who’ll not be happy to see their daughters,” Oscar comforted.

Amelia threw him a glance silently. Nonetheless, she could not assure herself that her adoptive parents would be pleased to see her again.

“Let’s go back to the Winters residence to celebrate the new year this round,” Oscar suggested.

Amelia cast her eyes down as she contemplated. After a while, she said nonchalantly, “It’s all right. The Winters family has never liked me all this while. If they suddenly butter me up just because I’m married to an heir of a prestigious family, I would rather avoid being closely acquainted with them.”

“Have you thought it through?” Oscar asked tactfully.

“Start driving. I’m not as vulnerable as you think. Furthermore, I’ve to be engaged at work after I’m back to the office,” Amelia said casually; a bright smile broke out on her face.

“If there’s anything bothering you, you must not hesitate to tell me,” Oscar reminded her.

“Okay, I know.” Amelia flashed him a smile again.

After her adoptive parents left with Spencer, Amelia’s life was back on track. Thus, she started burying herself in work again.

One day, Amelia was busy at work as usual. Shane suddenly led a foreigner into their office and clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention. “Everyone, may I have your attention, please.”

All her colleagues in the design department raised their heads instinctively. The moment Amelia caught sight of the man standing alongside Shane, she felt her temples start throbbing.

On the other hand, the latter winked at her mischievously. “Amelia, long time no see.”

Shane let out a chuckle. “June, do you know Amelia?”

Smiling blissfully, June explained, “We’ve known each other long ago. In fact, I’ve chosen your company to be our collaborator partly because I wish to grab the opportunity to meet Amelia. Moreover, I heard that your company is well-equipped with advanced technology and has a talented crew. That’s why I’m thinking of dropping by to have a look. If we’re able to collaborate with each other, I hope Amelia can be assigned as the person in charge of this project.”

“June, Amelia is mainly in charge of design drawings. I’m afraid she might be unable to cope with the project timeline.” Shane tried to talk him into changing his mind.

“Amelia is outstanding and multi-talented. I can count on her. How about we try to have a chat with her in your room? If she’s willing, I can sign a contract with your company right away. As a foreign merchant who plans to invest in Tayhaven, your governor welcomed my arrival with open arms earlier. Not to mention, I’m representing the Adertons to seek a long-term collaboration partner in Chanaea. Mr. Franklin, I presume you won’t let this chance slip away. Am I right?” June hinted ambiguously.

After pondering for a while, Shane turned to instruct Amelia, “Amelia, follow me to my room for a while.”

Amelia only hesitated momentarily before she rose and followed Shane to his room.

Soon, Shane cut to the chase while they were in his room. “Amelia, since you and June know each other, I guess I don’t have to make an introduction again.”

After flashing June a look, Amelia emphasized, “Mr. Franklin, Mr. Wick and I are not really close with each other. In fact, I’ve only met him a few times before this.”

“Amelia, how could you have the heart to say so? Do you know that I’d always thought about you after I was back in my country? I feel we can get along well with each other. As long as you agree to be in charge of this project, I’ll promise to collaborate with your company. I foresee we’ll gain a large sum of profit if this project turns out a success.” June handed a copy of the document to Amelia to convince her.

However, Amelia did not spare him any glance. She turned to look at Shane and uttered solemnly, “Mr. Franklin, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work then.”

Shane’s heart skipped a beat, fearing that June would be infuriated. Unexpectedly, the latter clapped his hands and mocked, “Amelia, your temper seems to have taken a turn for the worse. Fine, I agree to collaborate with your company, but you must comply with a term. Amelia, I want you to be my translator.”

Shane tried to rectify the situation by asking, “June, you know how to speak Chanaean, don’t you?”

A quick-witted June replied eloquently, “There are times that I don’t feel like speaking Chanaean. Not to mention, everyone in my team can only speak Erihalese. Hence, I need a translator to be by my side. Mr. Franklin, if you agree to let Amelia be my translator, I’ll sign this contract on the spot!”

A hint of annoyance flickered in Amelia’s eyes.

Shane tried to talk June into changing his mind again. “June, if you need a translator, I can arrange two professionals for you. They even master other languages other than Erihalese and Chanaean. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with them.”

Shrugging his shoulders, June smiled ambiguously. “Mr. Franklin, you must be pulling my legs. Since you disagree with letting Amelia be my translator, then forget about our collaboration. Bear in mind that I’ll only sign the contract if you agree with it.”

Next, he turned and was about to stride off. Nevertheless, Amelia advanced toward him and stood in his way. “Mr. Wick, don’t forget that you’re a foreign merchant who wishes to invest in Tayhaven. Since you’re here on behalf of your family, don’t you know that you bear the responsibility to opt for an ideal collaborator rationally?”

“Amelia, as long as you agree to be my translator, I’ll not think twice about collaborating with your company,” June emphasized again, smiling jubilantly.

Amelia’s eyes darkened as she glanced at him. In the meantime, Shane moved forward to chime in, “June, since you are here, let me treat you to lunch, regardless of whether we’ll be able to collaborate with each other.”

June turned to look at Amelia instead and cast her a meaningful smile. “I’ll be more than happy to have this meal in the presence of Amelia.”

Amelia was well aware that there was no way out for her. As a diligent employee, she would never let her private matters interfere with work, affecting her work progress.

Thus, she relented and suggested, “Why don’t we ask everyone from the design department to join us? The more, the merrier. Mr. Wick, you won’t mind about it, will you?”

June smiled gently. “Of course not!”

Thus, all of them headed straight for lunch at the hotel. Halfway through their meal, everyone clank glasses with June. Evidently, they were buttering him up. Rory even took the opportunity to ask June,

“Mr. Wick, I’ve bumped into you a few times when going down for lunch with Amelia. Do you still recognize me?”

Even so, June smiled and apologized, “I’m sorry as I only noticed Amelia at that time. I forgot that there was still another beauty standing alongside her at that moment.”

Hearing that, the smile on Rory’s face froze.

Seconds later, June added again, “But Ms. Sanders, I’ll remember you from now onwards. Undeniably, you’re quite a beauty. Don’t you all think so?”

All the others on the spot echoed at once to butter him up except Amelia and Jolin. Amelia continued eating, turning a deaf ear to him.

Meanwhile, Jolin glowered coldly at June, snorting inwardly. Pfft! I should have killed him at that time. If I’d done so, we wouldn’t have to bear with it when he’s putting on a show now! All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Mrs. Clinton, don’t you think you will have indigestion later by eating in the presence of someone annoying? How about I get you something else to eat?” Jolin asked deliberately.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes were on her.

Amelia scooped some salad on Jolin’s plate to appease her. “Jolin, take some salad.” Next, she turned to look at the other colleagues and joked, “Jolin usually speaks straight from the shoulder. Just ignore her.”

The next moment, the others started chattering jubilantly with June again.

Amelia whispered to Jolin, “Jolin, have your meal quietly. Don’t rain on others’ parade, okay?”

“Mrs. Clinton, noted,” the latter replied, pouting her lips.

Meanwhile, Amelia could not help feeling amused.
