Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 479

Alexandra pulled out a ruby the size of a pigeon’s egg—something she’d kept hidden for years—and handed it to Kristen as a welcome gift.

Kristen stared at the sparkling gem, speechless. “Mrs. Stewart, this is way too much.”

Alexandra just laughed. “Oh, Kristen, you’re the real treasure here! When you and Clive get married, I want you to wear this. It’s been in my family forever, and now it’s yours.”

“Thank you so much, Mrs. Stewart,” Kristen said, looking a little overwhelmed.

Everyone was relaxed and happy, chatting and laughing. They hadn’t even started eating, but they were already talking wedding dates.

Clive sat quietly nearby, watching his mom shower Kristen with affection. He couldn’t help but think of Amelia.

The difference was so obvious it hurt.

His mother had never shown Amelia even a hint of kindness, let alone the warmth she showed Kristen now.

For years, he’d refused to admit how badly his family had treated Amelia. But now he saw it clearly—“treated badly” didn’t even cover it. It bordered on cruelty.

A wave of restless frustration washed over him, and right then, his phone lit up with a call from Aiden.

It felt like a lifeline. Clive stood, clutching his phone, and apologized, “Sorry, everyone. I need to take this work call. Please, carry on.”

The Ivy, private dining room.

Amelia knocked, and before she could wonder if anyone heard, Susie opened the door, smiling like she’d been waiting for her.

As soon as Amelia walked in, the lively conversation died down. All eyes turned her way.

At the head of the table sat Mrs. Borgen and Dr. Borgen. Dr. Wade was there too.

Amelia gave them a polite nod. “Good evening, Dr. Borgen, Mrs. Borgen, Dr. Wade.”

Dr. Borgen frowned. “What are you doing here? Who told you where to find us?”

Amelia didn’t get a chance to answer. Dr. Borgen’s gaze had already zeroed in on Greg.

“Greg! Was it you? You little traitor!” he barked.

Greg almost choked on his food, scrambling to explain, but before he could say anything, Susie clamped a hand over his mouth.
