The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia) novel Chapter 359

**Chapter 359: Where’s She?**

Amelia had always been guarded about her reality, never once revealing the full extent of her life to Jeremy. She held back the truth that she was not just any employee but a core member and special consultant at PharmaCore 01. To her, sharing such information felt akin to flaunting trophies, a boastful act that could easily alienate her from those she cared about.

Moreover, the details of her position were shrouded in secrecy, a confidentiality she was bound to uphold. It was not something one could casually drop into conversation without considering the implications.

Jeremy, however, was perceptive. His keen instincts picked up on the nuances of her speech, the way she carried herself, and he sensed that there were connections she wasn’t willing to disclose.

“That’s incredible! You should definitely meet my mom sometime. I think you two would hit it off,” he suggested, his enthusiasm palpable.

Amelia scoffed lightly, a hint of annoyance creeping into her voice. “Hmph, forget it. That’s really not a good idea. You’d be better off introducing her to Ms. Jordan instead.”

Their conversation had flowed effortlessly until, in a sudden shift, Amelia’s demeanor changed. A cold snort escaped her lips, and her expression turned blank, as if a curtain had fallen over her emotions. In a swift motion, she pushed the door open and stepped out, the sound of it slamming shut resonating in the air, leaving Jeremy momentarily stunned.

“Wow, her jealousy is intense,” he muttered under his breath, feeling a mix of confusion and helplessness. She often insisted that jealousy was not her issue, yet it was clear that she was struggling with the reality of his past engagement.

He knew he had to confront Bridget, to put an end to whatever chaos she might be brewing. What if she decided to involve Sabrina again or, worse, orchestrate another engagement? The thought of having to win Amelia back from such a situation felt daunting, almost like navigating a minefield.

Outside, Amelia wrestled with her emotions, a wave of regret crashing over her. Had she really acted so immaturely? The realization that she had let her feelings get the better of her stung deeply. She had always prided herself on being composed, yet with Jeremy, everything felt different.

The moments of losing her temper in front of him replayed in her mind like a broken record, each instance a reminder of how vulnerable he made her feel. She had even developed a knack for sulking without realizing it, a behavior that felt uncharacteristic and entirely out of line for her.

After a brief period of brooding, Amelia shook off the heaviness that threatened to pull her under. She had plans to meet Josie for lunch, a rendezvous she had already postponed a few times. If she delayed it again, she could imagine Josie’s disappointment, perhaps even tears.
