Chapter 124:
Once inside, Amelia began packing her things. She had already decided to relocate to Hillside Villa and intended to wrap things up tonight so she could go to work as usual tomorrow.
Despite the limited size of her apartment, she had somehow accumulated a surprising amount of possessions. Unsure how she’d manage alone, she opened their group chat and typed, “Hey, I’m moving out of my place—can anyone lend a hand?” Seconds later, her phone buzzed with replies.
Carlee’s eager response arrived first. “Moving? Where to p>
Amelia hadn’t even begun typing when another message popped up from Carlee. “Are you moving to Hillside Villa p>
Amused, Amelia replied with a playful meme captioned, “You guessed it p>
“Say no more! I’ll be there soon p>
Initially puzzled by Carlee’s eagerness, Amelia finally understood when Carlee spammed several suggestive emojis, clearly jumping to the wrong conclusion.
Deciding not to fuel Carlee’s exaggerated fantasies about Wyatt and her in bed, Amelia rolled her eyes and tossed her phone aside, choosing not to reply.

Monroe hadn’t replied yet, leading Amelia to assume he was probably busy. But not long after Carlee burst through the door, Monroe also arrived.
As Carlee strutted inside, she immediately started teasing Amelia. “I thought Wyatt was moving in here with you. But now, you’re moving to Hillside Villa to live with him? Are you two p>
“Carlee, stop it right there. It’s definitely not what your vivid imagination is cooking up,” Amelia interjected.
Initially, she hadn’t intended to bring up the incident with Jaxton, worried they’d become concerned. But to stop Carlee from concocting even more outrageous theories, she reluctantly explained the real reason behind her move.
Once Carlee learned the truth, she erupted into fury, ready to march straight into the Morrison estate and confront Jaxton. Only after hearing that Wyatt had already left Jaxton thoroughly beaten did her rage subside slightly. “Jaxton is out of his mind!” she exclaimed.
Monroe, who had kept his thoughts to himself, finally broke his silence. “Actually, you moving to Hillside Villa makes sense. The Morrison and Flynn families won’t dare come anywhere near you there p>
Indeed, without Amelia’s explicit permission, none of those people could set foot near Hillside Villa’s grounds.
As Amelia and Carlee busied themselves packing, Monroe stood uncertainly nearby, unsure what to do but ready to help carry the heavier items when the time came.
While Amelia carefully arranged her jewelry into a case, Monroe suddenly recalled something important. “By the way, Amelia, yesterday I acquired some jewelry that Jaxton’s mother had put up for sale p>
“That’s not surprising,” Amelia replied.
Considering the Morrison Group’s financial turmoil, she figured it was natural for Laura to pawn valuables for quick cash.
But then Monroe said, “But this batch of jewelry seems to have originally belonged to your mother p>
