Chapter 174:

“Elena p>

Pulling free from Carlotta’s grasp, Elena marched out of the hotel, anger in every step. When Carlotta tried to chase after her, all she saw were the taillights of her car disappearing at the intersection.

“This is the Stewart family’s fault! Instead of defending your daughter, you hit her? What kind of father acts like that p>

Back inside, Carlotta’s voice rose with indignation as she confronted Kevin, eyes flashing with resentment. Having only one daughter, and after enduring a difficult birth, Carlotta treasured Elena more than anything. So, she spoiled her.

Meanwhile, the red sports car tore down the road, eventually halting at the gates of Hillside Villa.

Amelia had just returned to Hillside Villa. On the way back, Wyatt had gone to the Stewart Group for business, leaving her alone in the master bedroom. A gentle knock echoed through the hall, prompting Amelia to shuffle to the door with sleepy eyes.

Opening the door, she saw Kurt standing outside. He took a moment before saying, “Mrs. Stewart, Ms. Green is outside and insists on seeing Mr. Stewart. I told her he’s not here, but she won’t listen. What should we do p>

In any other circumstance, Kurt would have called security right away. But with the relationship between the Green and Stewart families, he hesitated.

Elena only grew more agitated. To her, Amelia was mocking her. “Don’t get ahead of yourself, Amelia. You may be Mrs. Stewart now, but you won’t have the title for long! You stole what should have been mine. One day, you’ll p>

“Is that truly what you believe? That I stole your place p>

Amelia hadn’t planned on arguing, but she couldn’t stay silent any longer after hearing Elena’s words.

Before Elena could respond, Amelia continued, “If you’re honest, you know that even if I disappeared, Wyatt would never choose you. He simply doesn’t care for you. You p>

“Enough p>

With fury blazing in her eyes, Elena lunged at Amelia, but the guards intervened before she could reach her.

Hatred filled Elena’s glare as she screamed, “If you hadn’t seduced Wyatt, he would have been mine! If it weren’t for you, he’d have definitely married me p>

Instead of snapping back, Amelia glanced off to the side, her attention shifting away. Curiosity got the better of Elena, and she turned to see what had caught Amelia’s eye.

A man approached, his demeanor cold.

Suddenly, Elena’s whole demeanor shifted—she hurried toward Wyatt, hope rekindling. But he strode right past her and headed for Amelia.

Elena’s heart sank as he ignored her completely, and a tremor ran through her voice as she called out, “Wyatt p>
