Chapter 9 - 9: Amelia's Best Friend
Back at Salvine City, life has never been so sweet and beautiful for all the schemers who plotted to steal Amelia's inheritance.
With the highly talked about celebrity wedding behind them, they moved on to the main task of sharing their loot.
After the signing of the wedding certificate, with Gwen perfecting her stepsister's signature, the old corrupt barrister in charge of Amelia's trust fund wasted no time in carrying out his duty to the newlywed.
The trust fund was liquidated with some of the assets sold to the highest bidder.
In line with Fiona's instruction, ninety percent of the liquidated assets went to the bride and ten percent to the groom.
While it was rumored among the elite that the newly wedded billionaire bride had travelled out of the country with her prince charming for her luxury honeymoon vacation, Gwen returned to being her true self, managing all of her stepsister's businesses and assets.
Subsequently, Gwen, now the sole benefactor of billions of dollars worth in assets and cash, wasted no time in distributing the funds amongst all the major players in the plot excluding her father and grandmother.
While the senator thanked his second daughter for preserving her sister's inheritance and businesses, Gwen perfectly played her card of deception, gaining her father's trust. The assets she couldn't covet in her name were immediately disposed of with the help of a mysterious buyer.
In the eyes of Gwen and her mother, Amelia was history. Every attempt at
"Send her in." Blaze ended the call.
Amelia overheard Blaze's short conversation amid her tears. She couldn't help but guess who he was referring to as, 'her' until the door to her VIP ward opened.
Blaze stood up and walked out of the room, only acknowledging Stacy's presence with a curt nod.
Stacy couldn't believe her eyes as they fell on the incredibly handsome but dangerous-looking man keeping her friend company. His face looked very familiar but this was not the best time to be inquisitive. She rushed over to her best friend's side, her heart filled with immeasurable joy.
"Amelia."
"Stacy!" Amelia slowly turned her head, unsure if she just heard the voice of her best friend in the whole universe.
