The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia) novel Chapter 340

Broken by Destiny by George Orwell 340 Summary

Patience worries about the potential threat Gianna poses to Amelia, fearing that Gianna might go so far as to hire someone to harm Amelia. However, Amelia remains calm and confident, reassuring Patience that if anyone comes after her, she will not hold back. Amelia believes that while Gianna is cunning, she is still under the control of the Nygard brothers and unlikely to act recklessly. Amelia suspects that Gianna’s true target might be to regain favor within the family, especially with Emery, rather than attacking her directly.

Amelia instructs Tyler to monitor both Gianna and Regina closely, anticipating another move from them. She reflects on how Gianna has always managed to escape serious consequences, damaging only her reputation but never truly being defeated. Regina and Gianna’s increasing boldness in causing trouble has become tiring for Amelia, who is determined not to let their actions slide this time. She vents some of her frustration by effortlessly hitting a bullseye with a dart, impressing Patience with her skill and focus.

Meanwhile, Emery keeps a cautious distance from Gianna, neither fully embracing nor rejecting her. Thanks to Raymond’s influence and Jeremy’s cooperation, the scandal involving the Nygard family has been mostly contained. Although Emery no longer dotes on Gianna as she once did, and harbors some resentment over past betrayals, she is confused by Gianna’s recent sweet and caring behavior. This has caused Emery to question her suspicions, even as her complete trust in Gianna has diminished.

At a gathering with wealthy friends, Emery receives numerous compliments about Gianna’s attentiveness and devotion, which impresses and flatters her. Gianna quietly serves tea and humbly attributes her care to gratitude for everything Emery has done for the family. The women admire Gianna’s apparent sweetness and loyalty, envying Emery for having such a devoted adopted daughter. Despite their own wealth, they express a wish to adopt daughters like Gianna, highlighting her successful facade of innocence and kindness.

Chapter 340 Everyone Loves the Good Girl

Just the mere thought of it sent a ripple of unease through Patience’s mind.

No matter what, the Nygard brothers were Amelia’s real siblings. Surely, they wouldn’t go to such extremes.

But Gianna? That sly, unpredictable girl? It was much harder to guess her next move.

Who could say if she might become desperate enough to hire someone to eliminate Amelia?

Amelia, however, remained composed. She gave Patience’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “Don’t worry. If they actually come after me, I won’t hold back.”

Gianna might be clever and cunning, but she was still under the Nygards’ influence. The brothers wouldn’t let her run wild.

More importantly, not everyone in the family was aware of Gianna’s true nature. She still played the role of the sweet, innocent girl flawlessly, and she wouldn’t dare ruin that façade.

If Amelia had concerns, they were directed more toward Regina.

Last time, Regina had tried to use Wade as a pawn to hurt both Amelia and Jeremy—two targets with a single move. But in the end, she failed.

Regina wasn’t foolish enough to attempt hiring assassins again.

Amelia also understood Gianna’s vanity well. Gianna would likely focus on winning back Emery’s favor and the rest of the Nygards.

So, it was more probable they wouldn’t attack Amelia immediately. Instead, they’d spend their time trying to regain the family’s affection.

Amelia pulled out her phone and quickly sent a message to Tyler.

“Keep an eye on Gianna and Regina. I have a feeling they’re about to make another move.”

Every time Amelia had fought back before, Gianna somehow managed to slip away or turn the tables.

Even when Gianna took a hit, it was only her reputation that suffered—not anything that truly brought her down.

Now, Regina and Gianna were growing bolder. They never stayed quiet for long before stirring trouble again.

It was becoming exhausting.

This time, Amelia wasn’t going to let things slide.

She had been in a foul mood lately, and taking it out on that mother-daughter duo seemed like just the right outlet.

After finishing her instructions, Amelia casually picked up a few sleek darts from a nearby display.

Without much thought, she flicked one toward the dartboard hanging across the room.

Whoosh!

The dart seemed guided by some unseen force, hitting the bullseye dead center, scoring the highest points.

Patience let out a breathless gasp, like a fan witnessing a flawless performance.

Trying to appear modest, Emery replied, “Oh, she just has her good moments sometimes.” But her radiant smile betrayed her true feelings.

Gianna stood quietly nearby, pouring tea for the ladies at just the right moments.

With a soft voice, she said, “You’re all too kind. I’m only doing what’s right. Mom does so much for our family; it’s only natural I take care of her in return.”

Her words only earned her more admiration.

The women couldn’t help but envy Emery for having such a sweet and devoted adopted daughter.

None of these women lacked wealth themselves. If they could adopt a girl as understanding and grateful as Gianna…

They would gladly take in three or five of their own!

Conclusion

Amelia’s steady resolve amidst the uncertainty surrounding Gianna and Regina’s next moves highlights her strength and determination to protect herself and those she cares about.

This chapter closes on a note of uneasy anticipation, with Amelia’s vigilance and Gianna’s calculated kindness setting the stage for the continuing battle of wills within the family.
