The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Dirty Tricks

Maxwell's face darkened, his fists clenching until his knuckles cracked. He looked ready to rush forward and slap Amelia.

"Amelia! Watch your mouth! Just because someone's got your back now doesn't mean you can act all high and mighty!" he shouted through gritted teeth.

Amelia snorted and looked at him with disgust. "What's wrong? Getting all worked up? Is this how the Nygards raises kids?"

Gianna saw Maxwell getting roasted and didn't know what to say. Her eyes started to tear up as she tugged on his sleeve. "Maxwell, let's just leave. Maybe Amelia just having a rough day ... "

Maxwell shot Amelia a sharp glare. "Gianna, don't listen to her! She's just an ungrateful brat. We took care of her all these years, and she not only doesn't appreciate it but now has the nerve to go against us!"

Gianna looked at Amelia, hesitating. "Amelia, did you really get yourself a sugar daddy? Is that why you have money now? How could you do something so shameful? If Mom and Dad found out, they'd be so disappointed!"

Tracy, standing nearby, was fuming and wanted to speak up, but Amelia stopped her.

She looked at Gianna, her eyes cold. "Gianna, you sure know how to talk. Say whatever you want. And if you're jealous, I can get you one too."

Gianna shook with anger. "You ... you're shameless!"

Amelia ignored them and swiped her card, signing the receipt. She told the store staff, "Pack it up and send it to this address, please."

She quickly wrote down Jeremy's house address, then turned back, her eyes cold. "Next time you see me, you'd better stay away. Don't bark at me like some crazy dog, or I won't be so nice."

With that, she and Tracy left, walking away with style.

Even Tracy couldn't help but give Amelia a thumbs up.

Now that was a boss move.

Gianna's face went pale instantly.

She had always been the spoiled daughter of the Nygards. When had she ever been humiliated like this?

Unbelievable!

She had to tell Mom and Dad about this when they got home!

As for Amelia, there was no way she could go back to the Nygards.

From now on, Gianna would be the only daughter.

Gianna leaned weakly on Maxwell's shoulder, her voice shaking with fake tears. "Maxwell, why has Amelia changed so much? Does she hate me? Maybe I should leave the family, even though I'd really don't want to."

Maxwell hugged her, heart aching. "Don't be sad, Gianna. She's just ungrateful brat! Let's go home and tell Mom and Dad. She's fallen so low now that she has a sugar daddy. Our family don't need someone like that embarrassing us."

Gianna lowered her head, but a sly, satisfied smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

The two of them headed home soon.

Meanwhile, Amelia was almost done shopping.

Tracy looked at her and asked politely, "Ms. Amelia, those two were talking nonsense. Want me to deal with them?"

They had gone too far, saying Ms. Amelia had a sugar daddy.

Did they even know who was backing her?

If they kept talking nonsense, Mr. Curran would tear them apart.

"No need. I'll handle it myself. Don't worry," Amelia said calmly, not even bothered.

After all, the line had already been crossed. There was nothing left to fear.

It only spoiled her mood for the day.

In the Nygards, Maxwell and Gianna were close in age, so they got along well.

Whenever Gianna went out, she dragged Maxwell along and made him pay for everything.

And Maxwell didn't mind. He loved spoiling her.

He liked that she was smart and independent, but he also wanted to protect her.

Even he was surprised at how he felt.

"Okay. If you need anything, just tell me," Jeremy said softly, his voice warm and patient.

Meanwhile, at the Nygard Residence.

Maxwell and Gianna stormed in, clearly furious.

Raymond and Emery were sitting in the living room, drinking tea and chatting calmly.

Maxwell was the first to speak, his voice full of anger. "Dad, Mom, you have no idea what Amelia has become! She's arrogant, disrespectful, and now she has a sugar daddy! She's making us a laughingstock!"

Gianna's eyes were red as she tried to calm him. "Maxwell, don't be so angry. Maybe Amelia just made a mistake ... "

"What? That brat Amelia actually did that?" Raymond shouted, his anger rising.

"Honey, calm down. Don't get worked up," Emery quickly said, trying to soothe him.

Then she asked, "What happened exactly?"

"Mom, we saw Amelia at the shopping mall today. She was buying luxury stuff like it was nothing, and she has a black card. You can tell it's from her sugar daddy," Maxwell said, fuming.

"Unbelievable! That brat has no shame, bringing shame to our family," Emery said in despair.

When she disappeared before, she should've just stayed gone! At least then she wouldn't embarrass the family.

Raymond snorted. "From now on, Amelia is no longer part of this family! Whatever happens to her is not our problem!"

Gianna lowered her head, trying to hide the satisfied gleam in her eyes.

Amelia, let's see how you get back on your feet this time!
