The Billionaire's Regret: His Secret Wife Turned Medical Genius novel Chapter 59

A wicked smile stretched across Amelia's lips as she looked at her phone screen after cutting the call.

…

Less than ten minutes later, the door to the villa swung open.

Gabriel didn't say a word as he got into his car and drove off.

Joy nearly overflowed from Amelia's eyes as she watched the car disappear from her line of sight.

After making sure that Gabriel had truly left, Amelia got out of her car and strolled over to the villa.

It was time for Emily's end.

…

Emily heard the sounds of the door being unlocked.

She swiftly lifted her head to warily look at the door.

Was Gabriel back? It seemed like it didn't take him long at all to take care of whatever business he had to attend to.

Emily felt her heart leap into her throat when the door slowly opened, revealing a slender figure that was illuminated by the light from behind.

Gabriel hadn't come back—it was Amelia.

Emily narrowed her eyes and wondered what Amelia was doing here.

Amelia fixed an appropriately shocked and concerned expression on her face as she rushed over to Emily. "Are you alright, Ms. Sterling?"

She gave Emily a onceover, and a pained expression appeared on her face when her eyes landed on Emily's red and swollen wrist. "Oh my God. How could Gabe do this to you?"

Emily coldly looked at Amelia and didn't say a word. She felt disgusted just looking at her insincere behavior.

However, it seemed that Amelia hadn't noticed the wariness in Emily's eyes. She simply retrieved a set of keys from her bag and placed it on the cabinet next to the door.

"Gabe left in a fit of rage after he locked you in here. I was worried, so I secretly followed him," Amelia began. "These are the spare keys for the villa. It wasn't easy for me to convince the administration department to hand them over. You should leave now before Mr. Holton comes back."

Amelia's words were dripping with sincerity while her eyes gleamed with anxiety. The way she acted made it seem like she was truly looking out for her, but Emily knew better. After all, why would someone who was determined to get rid of her set her free?

Emily inwardly scoffed.

She could tell that there was an even bigger trap waiting for her behind the villa's door. However, she would remain helpless if she stayed in the villa too. There was no signal here, and she was cut off from the world, so she was left at the mercy of Gabriel's insane whims.

She slowly rose to her feet and swept the dust from her clothes. Her eyes were calm as she looked at Amelia, giving nothing away. "Why are you helping me?" she asked.

Amelia was stunned for a moment before a wry smile appeared on her face. "I just don't want Gabe to do something he'll regret while his anger is affecting his actions.

"Besides, we're both women. I understand your circumstances."

It was the perfect response. Not only did she elevate herself, but she also painted herself as a kind person.

Amelia was truly a natural-born actress.
