The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia) novel Chapter 383

**Title: Broken by Destiny by George Orwell**
**Chapter 383: No Room for Pretending**

From the very beginning, Amelia had always been a beacon of kindness and sweetness. Ever since she was a little girl, she had treated her family with warmth and compassion, always caring for everyone around her. Her laughter was infectious, and her gentle spirit made her a beloved presence in their lives.

However, everything shifted the moment she went missing and then returned. It was as if she had stepped out of one world and into another, leaving behind the girl they once knew. People change, of course; that was a fact of life. After all, she had been gone for years, and who could say what experiences or influences had shaped her during that time?

But now, Amelia’s transformation felt overwhelming. It was as if she had donned a mask, one that concealed the sister Miguel had cherished. How could she stand before him, her demeanor so cool and indifferent, as if he were a mere stranger? Did she truly forget that he was still her brother?

Miguel couldn’t shake the feeling of betrayal that gnawed at him. He watched as Amelia engaged with Gianna, her laughter ringing hollow in his ears. It was maddening. Amelia was fed up with Miguel’s constant lectures, his attempts to guide her like some wise old grandfather. She had grown tired of his self-righteousness, believing he was fair and wise, while in reality, he was the easiest to manipulate and deceive.

As Miguel’s thoughts spiraled, he noticed Regina standing nearby, her expression calm and collected. It struck him that she didn’t appear concerned about their secret being exposed. In fact, she seemed almost eager, as if she were biding her time for the perfect moment to unveil the truth herself. Perhaps he and Jeremy had pushed her too far this time.

Regina was ready to shift gears; she seemed poised to announce her relationship with Raymond to the world. It was a stark contrast to her usual cautious nature. Why would she show up at such a significant event if not to make a statement? And there she was, standing proudly beside Gianna, as if daring anyone to question her.

This boldness could only mean one thing: she no longer cared about the repercussions. If the world discovered her connection with Raymond, it didn’t faze her in the slightest. Amelia couldn’t help but smirk at the unfolding drama. Things were certainly becoming more intriguing.

Just as the tension in the air reached a boiling point, a bright, cheerful voice broke through the heaviness. “Jeremy, you’re here! What are you all talking about?”

They turned to see Brielle, gliding toward them in a flowing gown, her hand clasped with Sabrina’s as they approached Jeremy.

Jeremy’s face darkened the moment he laid eyes on Brielle. “If you keep calling me in that tone, I might just have to find someone to tape your mouth shut,” he shot back, his irritation bubbling to the surface.

He had no desire to be associated with any woman other than Amelia. The thought of even a random female stranger bothering him was unbearable. And Brielle? Her flirtatious tone was nothing short of repulsive.
