Chapter 534:

Since Brielle had boldly plotted against Amelia, Wyatt vowed to make her pay. Piercing screams echoed from the private room, and soon Hiram stepped out clutching a bundle of photographs.

Wyatt made no move to accept them; he refused even to glance at them. With a shadowed, foreboding gaze, he commanded, “Reach out to the press. I want these images dominating the headlines in Kretol p>

Once they left the café, Amelia and Wyatt made their way back to Hillside Villa. As the car passed through the gates, a sea of vivid crimson unfolded before them. The main building’s entrance was adorned with a luxurious floral tapestry, every bloom tenderly cultivated by Vida.

Amelia had been away from Hillside Villa for a full week. When she looked at the estate, awash in rich reds, her eyes sparkled with delight. The sour mood stirred by Brielle’s schemes dissolved entirely.

Barrie parked the car at the entrance and quietly left. The place was utterly still, as though the entire world had conspired to leave the space solely for Amelia and Wyatt.

Just as Amelia started toward the stairs, Wyatt scooped her up in his arms. Under the dim lighting, his eyes burned with fervent desire. Carrying Amelia, he ascended the steps to the master bedroom on the second floor.

When he pushed the door open, Amelia’s eyes took in another expanse of brilliant red. What caught her attention first were the elegant wedding adornments gracing the room.

“Amelia, do you like the decorations?” Wyatt murmured as he carefully placed her on the bed.

At that moment, Amelia’s heart and gaze were fixed only on Wyatt. “I love them,” she replied, her smile gentle and warm.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wyatt leaned in and kissed her. While kissing her, he extended his arm to turn off the bedside lamp.

Still, a gentle, diffused light lingered in the room. Amelia glanced aside and saw candles flickering softly on the bedside table. The candlelight lent an enchanting glow to her features.

Wyatt’s kisses wandered from her brow to the edges of her eyes. As she slipped her arms around his neck, his breathing turned ragged. The warmth radiating from him ignited a heat within Amelia.

Wyatt’s hands glided to her waist, easing the zipper of her dress downward with care. Only when the fabric gathered at her hips did Amelia grasp his hands to stop him.

Before a word could escape her, Wyatt bent close to her ear and murmured, “I consulted Marc. He assured me it’s okay p>

Those simple words deepened the blush already coloring Amelia’s cheeks. After a long while, as the passion ebbed, she finally drifted into a deep sleep.

At the Carrillo family’s residence, Brielle’s desperate voice echoed, “Please, trust me. Nothing happened, really p>

“Brielle, do you take me for a fool?” Sean cut her off, flinging her hand away with force. As she tumbled to the floor, he fixed her with a furious stare and hurled a stack of photos at her.

The photos had been taken in the private room earlier. Though Brielle appeared in every one, each frame paired her with a different man.

Following Amelia’s directives, the men hadn’t laid a hand on Brielle, but the photographs were damning enough. Despite Brielle’s desperate attempts to explain, Sean didn’t trust her.

As her pleas persisted, the fear in Brielle’s eyes gradually morphed into fury. She fixed Sean with a look of mockery and said, “Amelia orchestrated this. Everyone of note in Kretol and Hans knows we are engaged. By targeting me, she is also humiliating you. If I were you, I would confront Amelia this instant and make her pay p>

Her words were cut off by a loud sound. As she rose from the floor, Sean’s hand struck her cheek with force. He seized her neck, his gaze brimming with malice. “Did you think I was blind to your schemes with Colton p>

At those words, the defiance in Brielle’s eyes dissolved into panic. “Then why didn’t you intervene p>

“I let it play out to see if you would actually succeed. Brielle, it’s no wonder you lost to Amelia even when you were still a member of the Chadwick family. You are useless p>

“Mr. Carrillo, the trending topic can’t be removed p>

Ryder rushed into the living room, hesitating briefly at the tense scene before him and quickly averting his gaze.

At Ryder’s arrival, Sean finally loosened his grip on Brielle’s neck. Relief flooded Brielle. She knew that Sean had truly wanted to choke her to death earlier. For the first time, doubt crept into her mind about her previous choices. She had aligned herself with Sean to flee the Figueroa family, but after arriving in Kretol she saw the truth: Sean was far from the kind facade he presented.

“Why can’t it be removed?” Sean demanded.

“I spoke to the staff myself. They said Wyatt issued the order p>

Menace flickered in Sean’s eyes at the mention of Wyatt’s name. Just then, a commanding male voice boomed from the doorway, “Sean, call off the engagement with Brielle and send her back to the Figueroa family now p>
