Chapter 532:
“Do you honestly believe you’re in a position to make demands p>
Amelia’s words made Laura glance up. Though Amelia’s face remained impassive, Laura read mockery in her expression. A spark of bitterness flared in her eyes. “Don’t you want to know who is behind this p>
Amelia’s gaze sharpened briefly, but she stayed cool. “I’ll uncover the truth eventually, with or without you p>
Laura gritted her teeth, seething. “Amelia, Jaxton’s death may not be your direct fault, but if you hadn’t sent him overseas, would he have met such a fate p>

Hiram had already shown Laura proof that Wyatt wasn’t responsible for Jaxton’s death, but Laura’s resentment toward Amelia still burned fiercely. Her eyes were red with rage.
Facing Laura’s venomous stare, Amelia responded icily, “As Jaxton’s mother, don’t you share some blame for his death? You’re well aware of the trouble Jaxton caused over the years. As his mother, you kept ignoring his actions and bailing him out. Haven’t you thought your endless indulgence was what led him down that path? It wasn’t my fault p>
Laura’s expression shifted at Amelia’s words. She shook her head in denial, though her eyes betrayed a flicker of anguish. Seeing Laura’s distress, Mindy felt a wave of pity. “Auntie, this isn’t your fault p>
Laura’s gaze softened with guilt at Mindy’s concern.
Sensing a chance to pierce Laura’s defenses, Amelia lowered her voice. “I’ll release Mindy, but you must agree to one condition p>
“What condition?” Laura asked.
Amelia leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
Laura’s face clouded with hesitation. “If I do that, I will have no status in Kretol p>
Before Amelia could respond, a knock sounded at the door. Davin entered, handing Wyatt a file.
As Wyatt skimmed the file, his expression darkened with anger.
Noticing this, Amelia asked quietly, “What is it p>
“It’s Brielle. She’s the one behind all this.” Wyatt handed the file to Amelia.
Davin had not only discovered that Brielle had orchestrated Laura’s actions but had also uncovered the true cause of Jaxton’s death. Reading the details, Amelia glanced at Laura.
Panic flashed in Laura’s eyes at the name Brielle—she hadn’t expected Wyatt to trace it to her so quickly. As she considered negotiating with Amelia, the latter pushed the file toward her.
“See for yourself,” Amelia said.
Jaxton had died in a car crash, but the truck that struck him had done so deliberately. Davin discovered that the driver was none other than Darrion, a lackey of Elmore’s.
Laura trembled as she read the report. In the heavy silence, she let out a piercing laugh, tears streaming down her face. After the outburst, she looked at Amelia with fierce resolve. “I’ll do it. I agree to your condition p>
Amelia said nothing, only gesturing for Hiram to untie Laura and Mindy. Hiram glanced at Wyatt instinctively; Wyatt gave no objection, so Hiram signaled the bodyguards to release them.
Once free, Mindy rushed to Laura’s side with concern. After they left, Wyatt turned to Amelia, curious. “You’re just letting them go? Aren’t you worried they’ll run away p>
“They won’t,” Amelia replied firmly.
Laura wasn’t a good person, but her love for Jaxton surpassed even her own self-interest. Brielle had orchestrated Jaxton’s death, and Laura would never let her off.
Outside the hotel, Laura handed Mindy a bank card. Mindy frowned. “What is this for p>
“It has five million. Take it p>
The card had been meant for Jaxton, but he was gone now.
Mindy shook her head. “I can’t take it p>
“Just take it!” Laura interjected, pressing the card into her hand.
As Mindy tried to protest again, Laura’s face hardened. “If you don’t want to go back to the Butcher family and marry that old man our family arranged for you, accept it p>
Before the Morrison family’s collapse, the Butcher family had relied on them. After the Morrison family’s bankruptcy, they had lost that support.
So the Butcher family had planned to wed Mindy to a wealthy coastal magnate for their own gain. The tycoon, though affluent, was well over fifty and had been married three times before.
The entire family was privy to the arrangement—except for Mindy herself.
Laura’s revelation left Mindy stunned. With a pained smile, she accepted the card, her eyes brimming with tears.
Noticing her tears, Laura softly patted her arm. “Take this money and leave Kretol. Never come back again p>
