Chapter 517:
“Stop talking; save your strength!” Amelia said urgently, her hand pressed close to Weston’s chest.
Yet, no matter how tightly she pressed, the crimson tide of blood refused to slow, seeping through her fingers and staining them a haunting red.
This was the second time — the second heart-wrenching moment Weston had thrown himself in harm’s way to shield her.
Janessa lay sprawled on the floor, felled by Wyatt’s swift kick. The commotion drew Barrie and the other bodyguards, who stormed into the living room and swiftly subdued Janessa.
Janessa’s eyes blazed with venom as she glared at Amelia, defiance etched into her features.
“Call the authorities!” Wyatt bellowed, his voice full of authority.
Panic flickered in Janessa’s eyes when she heard that, her composure crumbling. As the bodyguards hauled her toward the door, she struggled, her voice shrill with desperation. “You killed Dayna, Amelia! You have no right to turn me in. I p>
“Wasn’t it you who caused Dayna’s death p>

Amelia hadn’t meant to engage, but Janessa’s accusation struck a nerve, igniting her temper.
Janessa’s eyes widened, a fleeting spark of panic giving way to rage. “No! You’re the one who caused Dayna’s death! You’re the murderer p>
“Me? Janessa, wasn’t it you who lured Dayna into the gambling dens? Wasn’t it you who handed her photos to Kylo?” Amelia said.
“You… how did you find out about that?” Janessa’s voice quivered, her body trembling with dread.
She had been destitute, her pockets empty, when Kylo made his vile proposition, with Dayna as the bargaining chip. Though it tore at her conscience, Janessa had agreed, convincing herself it was better for Dayna to be tethered to someone like Kylo than to face a bleaker fate.
Never had Janessa imagined that the matter would cost Dayna her life. Night after night, Janessa awoke from nightmares, unable to bear the weight of her guilt. She refused to accept that Dayna’s death was on her hands and instead clung to denial, persuading herself again and again that the fault lay entirely with Amelia.
Yet she had never anticipated that Amelia would uncover the truth about what she had done.
As if to twist the knife deeper, Amelia locked eyes with Janessa and continued, “It’s not just me who knows, Janessa. Dayna knew that, too p>
This was what Darwin had told her over the phone, which was also why she had been willing to visit Dayna in the hospital before.
Janessa froze, her face a mask of shock.
As the bodyguards dragged her away, a manic laugh erupted from her lips, quickly dissolving into tears. “Someone asked me to destroy you,” she cried. “They offered me ten million p>
“Wait!” Wyatt swiftly lifted his hand, his voice cutting through the air like a blade.
The bodyguards halted instantly.
