Chapter 311:

According to the prison staff, Ricky had suddenly experienced unbearable abdominal pain early in the morning, prompting them to immediately arrange for him to be taken to the hospital.

Ricky slipped away during surgery. By the time the police caught on and stormed into the operating room, he had already vanished without a trace.

This unexpected news kept Amelia awake all night.

When the sky finally brightened, Amelia made her way from Hillside Villa to an old apartment block in the heart of the city with Barrie.

With a silent nod from Amelia, Barrie pounded hard on the faded apartment door.

Soon, Dayna’s voice rang out from inside, snapping, “Who’s making all that noise? Can’t you wait a minute p>

Muttering under her breath, Dayna swung open the door and spotted Amelia. She tried to slam the door shut, but Barrie muscled his way through before she could.

Throwing a cold look at Amelia, Dayna said, “My mother bought this place before she got married. Don’t think you can force us out p>

All the drama lately had made Dayna certain that Amelia’s visit meant eviction.

Ignoring Dayna, Amelia strode past her and headed for the bedroom.

Right as Amelia reached for the doorknob, the door swung open from the inside, revealing Janessa.

Janessa stood there, her eyes dark as she stared at Amelia, holding a document in her hand.

Amelia caught sight of the words “Share Transfer” printed on the document in Janessa’s grip.

She quickly realized what Janessa planned to do with the document.

The moment she’d heard Ricky had escaped from prison, Amelia had instantly remembered Janessa’s odd behavior from the day before.

Janessa caught Amelia staring at the document and, instead of hiding it, lifted her chin smugly. “Once Ricky puts his signature here, I’ll become a shareholder of the Flynn Group p>

Amelia couldn’t stifle a mocking laugh after hearing that.

That unsettled Janessa for a moment, but she tried hard to compose herself and replied, “Ricky and I are still married. Whether you like it or not, he can p>

“Ricky escaped from prison last night,” Amelia interjected.

“Wait… What did you just say?” The words knocked the wind out of Janessa. The document tumbled from her fingers, her heart sinking.

Janessa knew Amelia wouldn’t lie about something like that. That meant Ricky had tricked her.

No wonder Ricky had agreed to transfer the shares to her so easily — he had planned to deceive her from the start.

“He might be gone, but those shares belong to me. I’m his wife. They’re rightfully mine!” Janessa screamed. She had only tolerated Ricky for the shares; she hadn’t expected him to escape from prison. Anger burned in her bloodshot eyes.

Remaining composed, Amelia said, “Three days after Ricky landed behind bars, he sold off every single share he owned. Also, all the money in his accounts was taken p>

Color drained from Janessa’s cheeks when she heard that.

Watching the exchange, Dayna stepped closer and grasped Janessa’s hand. “Mom, what is Amelia talking about p>

Ignoring Dayna’s question, Janessa glared at Amelia. She asked, “Did you come here just to mock us p>

“I don’t have time for that.” Settling herself into a nearby sofa, Amelia tossed out her next question. “Who did you give that gold lock to last night p>

After Janessa left the previous evening, Rocco had sent people to tail the man she met, but they had lost him halfway.

Right after Ricky asked Janessa to retrieve the gold lock and deliver it to someone, he escaped from prison. Amelia was certain there was a connection between the two events.

If Janessa despised anyone as much as Ricky, it was Amelia. At the question, she said, sarcasm sharpening her tone, “And why on earth would I tell you that? I—wait, what are you doing? Let Dayna go p>

At Amelia’s silent signal, Barrie sprang forward and seized Dayna, pressing a blade to her neck.

That cold touch drew a frightened cry from Dayna.

Witnessing this, Janessa was furious, but all she could do was shoot daggers at Amelia.

“My patience is limited. I’ll only ask this one more time — who was that man?” As Amelia spoke, she glanced at Barrie.

Following her cue, Barrie pressed the dagger a little harder, enough to send pain shooting through Dayna’s neck.

“Mom, please tell her! Or he will really kill me!” Dayna exclaimed.

Seeing blood on Dayna’s neck, Janessa hurriedly replied, “Fine, I’ll talk. Just let her go p>

Once those words left Janessa’s mouth, Amelia gestured for Barrie to ease the dagger away, though his grip on Dayna remained tight.

Janessa continued, “I don’t know who that man is. He p>

“Are you playing games with me?” Amelia cut in sharply.

“I swear I’m telling the truth!” Janessa blurted, catching the chill in Amelia’s eyes.

Under Amelia’s scrutinizing gaze, Janessa explained, “When I met up with him, he kept his face hidden under a hat and a mask. I didn’t get a good look at him p>
