Chapter 223:
As soon as the chaos unfolded, Erik and Zainab rushed up to help. Someone lurking in the crowd looked ready to step forward again, but the wail of police sirens split the air and stopped them. People scattered fast, and Collen was taken to the hospital.
Amelia, however, refused to board the ambulance for a checkup. She turned to Erik and insisted he drive her straight to the Stewart Group. Before climbing into the car, she paused beside Collen’s stretcher and said, “Don’t worry; I will fulfill the promises I made to you p>
Stepping into the Stewart Group headquarters, Amelia spotted Matias being dragged from the meeting room by security, his appearance a total mess.
“Amelia, you have to help Davin! They’re hurting him in there!” Matias exclaimed when he saw her.
That was all she needed to hear. Amelia charged toward the door, only to find it locked tight, taunting voices and pained groans echoing from inside. Anger flared within her. She turned to the bodyguards nearby and said, “Force the door open p>
The bodyguards were all Barrie’s people. They quickly complied and kicked the meeting room door open.

“Amelia, do you even know what time it is? How could you make Conroy wait so long?” someone inside said.

After taking a look around, Amelia helped support Davin and asked, her worry evident, “Are you hurt p>
Blood stained his forehead, but Davin offered a small, reassuring shake of his head. “Don’t worry about me; I’ll be alright p>
Not far from them, Rory decided to stir up even more trouble. “Amelia, since when did you and Davin become so friendly? No wonder he thinks he can disrespect my grandfather when you’re around p>
Amelia’s eyes darted to the table. Everyone’s cup remained untouched except for Rory’s, which lay shattered—proof enough for her to know he was behind Davin’s injury. Before Rory could finish his accusation, she snatched a cup and hurled it at him. The porcelain struck Rory’s forehead.
“Amelia, you p>
Julius shot Amelia a furious glare and nearly cursed, but the presence of Conroy stopped him short.
Amelia said, “Jewell doesn’t even seem bothered, so what’s gotten into you, Julius? It’s lucky everyone here knows Rory is Jewell’s son. Otherwise, people might start thinking he’s actually yours p>
