Chapter 496:
After Amelia was dragged into this place, her mind raced through countless suspects. But never in her wildest imagination had she thought the one behind all this would be Dayna.
“Amelia, do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting for this moment?” Dayna stared at Amelia, who was bound hand and foot, feeling that every scar and every sleepless night she had endured was finally worth it.
“Why, Dayna? Why are you doing this?” Amelia asked.
“You’re asking me why?” Dayna’s voice dripped with venom, her eyes burning with malice. “Amelia, don’t play dumb. You destroyed me. I’ve lost everything and become like this because of you! But it doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve already sunk to the bottom of hell, and I’ll be damned if I let you off. Since I’m burning, I’ll drag you into the flames with me!” Her eyes gleamed with madness.

Yet Amelia didn’t flinch. Her calm voice cut through the air like a blade. “Haven’t you realized by now? You’re the author of your own misfortune. You’ve brought all that suffering upon yourself p>
“Shut your mouth!” Dayna snapped, her fury erupting. “What I despise most about you, Amelia, is that sanctimonious tone of yours. Look at you—bound and helpless—yet you still dare talk back to me p>
As Dayna’s words grew sharper and more venomous, she raised her hand, ready to deliver a stinging slap across Amelia’s face. But before her hand could connect, Weldon’s grip shot out, swift and unyielding, clamping down on her wrist with force.
“I won’t let you lay a finger on her!” Weldon’s voice thundered as he moved instinctively to shield Amelia. He no longer cared about exposing the fact that the ropes were loose.
When Dayna saw Weldon intervene, her eyes flicked between him and Amelia, her lips curling into a mocking sneer. “Is this your little secret, Amelia? Behind Wyatt’s back, you’re fooling around with another man p>
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Weldon shoved Dayna’s hand away, his gaze sharp and cold as steel.
Dayna mistook Weldon’s anger for shame.
She gave a sarcastic laugh, her tone dripping with venom. “Oh, I see. Did Amelia forget to mention she was married while she was keeping you warm at night p>
“Are you out of your mind? I’m her brother!” Weldon’s retort was sharp and fierce.
Dayna froze, her expression faltering for a brief moment. Then she shouted, almost hysterically, “That’s impossible! Amelia never had a brother p>
“Just because you’ve never heard of it doesn’t make it a lie. Amelia is my father’s daughter—a member of the Chadwick family,” Weldon said firmly.
“The Chadwick family?” Dayna repeated, confusion flickering across her face.
Meeting her gaze, Weldon quickly explained his identity. Then, his tone hardened. “Just so we’re clear, if you dare lay a finger on my sister, my family will make sure you pay for it p>
