Mistress Commission: 'Design Our Rings!' But Darling I'm Still His WIFE novel Chapter 124

The moment Sharlene caught sight of the breaking news, she didn’t hesitate for a second—she dashed over to Amelia, urgency written all over her face.

She was burning with curiosity, desperate to understand why Rhodes Global had suddenly thrown itself into this chaotic mess. What on earth was Amelia’s connection to Rhodes Global anyway? The questions swirled relentlessly in her mind.

When Amelia finally saw the news, a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corners of her lips. A warm sensation blossomed deep within her chest, spreading like a quiet flame.

He knew. Cassian actually understood what was going on.

The truth was, Amelia had been spiraling internally for days, wrestling with how she could possibly explain this nightmare to Cassian. She was married now—this wasn’t just about her anymore; she had to consider how it would affect her husband.

When the scandalous posts first exploded across social media, her heart had slammed against her ribs in pure panic. She’d been frantically searching for ways to control the damage, but Cassian had shown up like a force of nature, sweeping in and fixing everything in what felt like mere minutes.

Did this mean he truly trusted her? The thought both thrilled and terrified her.

As Amelia drifted into a daze, lost in her swirling thoughts, her phone buzzed insistently in her hand. She looked down and saw his name flashing on the screen—speak of the devil.

Perfect timing.

She pressed her lips together, trying to steady her voice, which came out quieter than she intended. “Hey… you saw everything, right?”

That fragile vulnerability in her tone struck Cassian straight in the chest. “Yeah, I saw it. Are you holding up okay?”

“I’m fine,” she replied cautiously. “You believe me, don’t you? Someone totally twisted the story to make me look bad.”

“Of course I believe you,” Cassian said firmly. “Philips is already cleaning up the mess. Don’t stress about it. I’ll come get you after work tonight.”

“Okay. Thank you so much, baby,” Amelia breathed out, relief washing over her like a soothing tide.

This was what it felt like to have someone truly in your corner. She’d never known anything like it before.

With Jasper, it had always been different. She was the one carrying the emotional weight, while he, the entitled rich boy, expected her to handle her own drama without complaint.

So when this scandal erupted, Amelia had braced herself to face it alone.

“Don’t thank me for doing my job,” Cassian said with quiet intensity. “I’m your husband. Protecting you is what I’m supposed to do. From now on, if anything happens, you call me immediately. Nobody gets to mess with my wife.”

“Got it,” Amelia whispered, nodding even though he couldn’t see her.
