Chapter 133:

“How could you humiliate me like that, Amelia p>

Elena fixed a hateful glare on Amelia. Her anger boiled over, and she swung her hand, aiming for Amelia’s cheek, only for Jordy’s hand to close tightly around her wrist.

“Let go! Let go of me right now p>

Desperate to break free, Elena twisted against Jordy’s hold. Each struggle only made him tighten his grasp. He was intent on leading her out.

In a sudden burst of anger, Elena hurled her handbag straight at Amelia. Nobody saw it coming. The bag shot through the air, and Amelia instinctively raised her arm to shield her face.

The pain she braced for never landed. Instead, Matias’s cry of pain rang out across the room. Blood gushed from a fresh cut running from his eyelid to the corner of his eye, instantly sealing his eyelid shut.

Amelia’s face went pale at the sight, and Elena’s expression shifted from shock to trembling anxiety.

Without a second thought, Amelia took Matias by the arm and hurried for the exit, her voice rising as she called out for Barrie.

Barrie, who had been waiting for them, rushed over the moment he heard her. When Amelia spotted him, she wasted no time. “Quick, get us to the hospital p>

Matias’s injury left Barrie reeling. His eyes darted to Amelia, checking that she was unharmed, and only then did he breathe easier. After hearing her urgent command, he replied, “I’ll bring the car right away p>

After Amelia and Barrie left, Jordy spun on Elena, his voice filled with anger. “Have you lost your mind p>

Elena, rattled but defiant, retorted, “Don’t turn this on me. Matias wouldn’t have gotten hurt if he hadn’t jumped in front of Amelia. I wouldn’t even be upset if Amelia hadn’t tried to humiliate me first. If anyone’s to blame, it’s her p>

“You’re being completely unreasonable p>

Jordy’s patience wore thin, his calm all but vanished. He considered lashing out but stopped himself, keeping his composure.

His gaze turned cold as he warned, “You’d better pray nothing serious happens to his eye. If this partnership falls apart, you’ll be held accountable.” With those words hanging in the air, Jordy stormed out.

He caught a glimpse of Amelia’s car disappearing as he made his way down. Without hesitation, he dialed Wyatt. Over the phone, he recounted the incident in detail, including the exchange between Elena and Amelia.

Wyatt listened in silence. Jordy recognized that silence all too well. Having known Wyatt for years, he knew the signs: if Wyatt was shouting, he wasn’t truly angry. If he fell silent, he was furious.

“I’m sorry, Wyatt. I honestly didn’t expect Elena to go that far p>

“Elena won’t get away with this p>

Wyatt’s voice cut Jordy off, and before Jordy could add another word, the call ended with a click. Jordy’s mind spun with anxious thoughts after that.

Blood kept seeping from Matias’s injured eye as the car sped through the city. Sitting beside him and seeing him like that, Amelia urged Barrie to speed up. Hearing that, Barrie ran a red light, wanting to get to the hospital faster.

At that moment, Amelia’s phone lit up and began to ring. Her first instinct was to let it go to voicemail, but the name flashing on the screen made her answer.

Wyatt’s voice, deep and calm, poured through the line. “I already know what happened. Don’t be scared. Marc’s on his way to handle Matias’s injury p>

Wyatt’s words eased Amelia’s anxious heart considerably. Although she trusted Jordy to stick to the truth, she recounted the incident anyway. After that, she said, “I believe Elena needs to face the consequences p>

Tension twisted in her gut as she considered the good relationship between the Green family and the Stewart family. Torn, she wished there were a way for Wyatt to avoid a rift with his relatives, yet she couldn’t pretend she wasn’t angry.

All her worry faded as soon as Wyatt replied, “You have my full support. I also think Elena needs to be held accountable p>

Matias remained pale, pain written across his features. But once Amelia ended the call, curiosity got the better of him. “So, Amelia, is it true? Are you married to Mr. Stewart? When did you two get married? Wasn’t your engagement with the Morrisons just called off p>

A wry smile tugged at Amelia’s lips. “Is your eye suddenly healed? You’ve got enough energy to poke your nose into my business now p>

At the mention of his eye, Matias slumped back in his seat, reminded of his pain. The reality of everything hit him, dread creeping in. What if he ended up blind in one eye? Would the Stewart Group still keep him as an employee?

Noticing his distress, Amelia offered a gentle smile. “There’s no need to panic. Wyatt has already called in Dr. Chapman to treat you. You’ll be all right p>

“Wait—Dr. Chapman? The world-famous physician?” Excitement flashed through Matias, chasing away his gloom for a moment.

All that emotion only made his eye bleed more, so while Amelia rummaged for tissues, she muttered, “Calm down p>
