<b>Chapter 60 </b>
Zachary’s piercing scream echoed through the room as Amelia made her move. The men present winced collectively, Instinctively startled at the sight.
It was shocking to see Amelia, who was knows for her gentle and elegant demeanor, stomp down between Zachary’s legs without hesitation.
“Ah…” Zachary doubled over, his hands cupped protectively over his grols. He couldn’t feel his cock at that moment
“If you ever pull a stunt like this again, I’ll cut your dick off” Amelia snarled, her tooth clenched, if it weren’t for thew, she wouldn’t have hesitated to grab a pair of scissors and make good on her threat.
“I won’t. I swear I won’t ever do it again” Zachary begged pathetically, trembling with lear
Amelia had cleaned up and changed into fresh clothes. As she towered over Zachary, her expression was nothing short of murderous.
To Zachary, she looked like apletely different person–cold, distant, and utterly terrifying. If he hadn’t seen her with his own eyes, he’d never believe this was the same woman he once know.
“Mr. Kingsley, we should go.” Aaron said quietly
Amelia nodded and left with them, leaving Zachary alone in the hotel hallway like a drowning dog. The hotel’s security cameras kept their silent watch, but no one came to his rescue.
Finally, Zachary managed to drag himself back to the bedroom to seek Elizabeth’s help. “Elizabeth, please, I need your help,” he pleaded.
“Help you what?” Elizabeth sat on the bed, her silk robe sliding carelessly off one shoulder, revealing smooth skin and tantalizing curves. Though her sideways nce was seductive, her smile was as cold as ice. She showed absolutely no concern for <b>Zachary’s </b>injuries…
“Elizabeth, I was nearly beaten to death out there. Didn’t you hear anything?” Zacharyined <b>as </b><b>he </b>copsed onto the bed.
“Oh, I heard you. I just don’t feel like helping” Elizabeth shrugged.
Zachary’s <b>eyes </b>widened in confusion
Elizabeth gave a slight, knowing smile. “You have Sandra at home and me on the side, Zachary, Why are you still so hung up on Amelia?” Her tone was casual, but there was an edge to her words.
A knot formed in Zachary’s stomach as realization hit him. His actions today had angered both the Kingsley family and Elizabeth.
“Elizabeth, let me exin.” He rushed to defend himself. “It’s not that I still <b>have </b>feelings for her. I just wanted to teach her <b>a </b>lesson<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“You want to screw her, right?” Elizabeth’s lips curled into a contemptuous smirk <b>as </b>she shrugged. “At my dad’s dinner<b>, </b>you thought I was her while you slept with me. Now, one look at her and you’re falling all over yourself again, Why should I trust you with another dime of investment”
Zachary felt a cold sweat break out. “Elizabeth, it’s not what you think. She stole the Stonefield property from me. I hate her guts for that Alll want is to get it back.”
“The Stonefield property?” Elizabeth’s eyebrows shot up. “Go on<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Wincing through the pain, Zachary exined, “I have some inside information. In <b>three </b>months, that property’s value is going to explode. We’re talking over three billion dors<b>” </b>
Zachary snarled through gritted teeth. “Amelia must have caught wind of my ns and used Kingsley Group to snatch thatnd right from under me. A project worth three billion dors in just three months. How could I not be <b>furious</b>?”
“That’s some serious money,” Elizabeth muled, studying Zachary with newfound interest. The Foster family is practically nobody in Norava, she thought. “How did Zachary get his hands on such valuable insider information? I’ve clearly underestimated him.’

“Elizabeth, she’s got control of that property,” Zachary said with malicious intent. “If I screw her up, the Kingsley family will throw her out for su can ckmail her with sex tape to get thend. When I make it big, you get your share too.
After Zachary’s persistent maniption, Elizabeth finally gave in. Her demeanor softened as she stood up to pour him a cup of water. “Hare, have some water first. I’ll call a doctor to check on you.”

“Thank you, Elizabeth. Zachary let out a heavy sigh of relief. As he endured the <b>pain </b>w rtionship with Elizabeth.
‘She seems to want more than just a fling, Zachary thought.
It was a pristine day with crystal–clear skies, Landon <b>sat </b>anxiously in his wheek hair, waiting with mounting tension.
Elizabeth told him that Zachary had made his move on Amelia Landon just hoped Aaron got there in time before something terrible happened.
Gloria, unaware of the full situation, only knew that Landon had driven away Amelia, who had finally married him after all this time. Aher taking Landon to <b>the </b>living room, shepletely ignored him. She hadn’t even let a single servant to attend to him.
The wait <b>was </b>excruciating for Landon. Each <b>passing </b>second felt like torture as if he were being roasted alive over hot coals.

The sound of a car pulling up outside finally broke the silence. Landon tensed, <b>straining </b>his ears and craning his neck to see through the window.
Amelia returned with Aaron by her side, but she was wearing different clothes than when she’d leftst night. It didn’t take much imagination to figure out why her <b>previous </b>outfit would never be worn again.
“What happened to her? Landon thought, his heart sinking with regret for sending her away the night before
“Mr. Kingsley, Mrs. Kingsley is just shaken up, but she’s okay,” Aaron reported diplomatically
Only after confirming she wasn’t hurt did Landon’s heart finally fall into his stomach, He gestured for Aaron to wait outside.
Once they were alone in the living room, Landon spoke in his mind, ‘Now you see what happens when you leave the protection of the Kingsley family
Amelia felt her heart sink like a stone in a frozenke, but she stubbornly replied, “This was just an ident.”
Amelia had thought that since Landon saved her and brought her home, he would at least his mockery. “Heartless jerk,‘ she scoffed internally

Amelia, without the Kingsley family’s protection, you don’t stand a chance against Zachary Landon’s <b>voice </b>softened as his eyes fell on her puffy, tear- stained ones. “Just be a good girl and don’t make me angry <b>again</b>.
Despite his harsh words, he couldn’t bring himself to scold her any further when he saw how much she’d been crying
Landon’s words cut Amelia deeply. She sneered, “Be a good girl? <b>What </b>am I to you, some kind of pet?”
‘That’s not what I meant Landon said, taken <b>aback</b>, furrowing his brow.
Amelia waspletely infuriated now. Her voice turned ice–cold as she spoke, “You’re so full of yourself, Landon, Yes, I’m under the Kingsley family’s protection. And yes, when I first came to the Kingseys, <b>I </b><b>was </b>looking for protection.
<i>“</i>But I’ve contributed plenty to the Kingsley family. I’m not just here taking advantage without pulling my weight.
“Think about it, London. Who else could you even talk to when you were practically <b>a </b>vegetable? How else would you have recovered so quickly<b>? </b>And don’t forget, I’m the reason you managed to get rid of Henry and save the family fortune.”
Her words hit him like a series of punches, each onending squarely Landon <b>was </b>speechless. He’d been trying to protect Amelia, but somehow, he’d

“Well said.” Gloria pped as she walked in from outside. “Amy’s absolutely right.”
“Gloria…” Amelia’s fierce expression melted away at the sight of Gloria, her anger fading instantly

“Amy, I’m on your side, Gloria gave Amelia a hug. “This whole mess is Landon’s fault. A man should be generous and understanding, especially toward his wife. How could he even think of kicking out his pregnant wife during an argument?”
Landon felt awkward under Gloria’s criticism. His lips pressed into a line as he remained silent. The truth was, Amelia wasn’t actually pregnant. He had jumped to the wrong conclusionst night.
If it hadn’t been for Elizabeth’s warning and Aaron’s timely arrival, Amelia might have ended up pregnant with someone else’s child. The thought made Landon shudder. He <b>knew </b>he’d been wrong to dive her away.
“Look at how red Amy’s <b>eyes </b>are. She must have been crying her heart out,” Gloria scolded, giving Landon’s wheelchair a light kick. “This is <b>all </b>your fault”
Landon was speechless. ‘Mom, you’re actually kicking your injured son for Amelia’s sake? I’m still a patient here, you know, he thought
“Amy, don’t be sad anymore. I’m here for you.” Gloria soothed her with genuine maternal affection. There was nothing fake about her tenderness. It was the pure love of a mother for her daughter.
It had been so long since Amelia had felt this kind of maternal warmth All the hurt she’d been holding back came rushing to the surface, and fresh tears rolled down her cheeks. “Gloria,” she whispered.
“Let it all out, honey. I promise you, no one will ever try to drive you away again.” As Gloria spoke these words, she shot Landon a sharp re.
