Chapter 572:

Only through marriage could the Russell family secure their standing; otherwise, the Barnes family would one day surpass them.

Meanwhile, Amelia remained unaware of the Russell siblings’ scheming.

The day’s walk had worn her out, and soon after lying down from her shower, waves of sleepiness overcame her.

By the time Wyatt emerged from the bathroom after his shower, Amelia had already drifted into a deep sleep.

He leaned down, pressed a tender kiss to her lips, and with a quiet smile, slipped under the covers.

Pulling her gently into his arms, he soon closed his eyes beside her.

At one in the morning, the door to Amelia and Wyatt’s hotel room creaked open.

Several men stepped inside, their faces hidden behind masks.

They moved swiftly toward the bed. After confirming that both Amelia and Wyatt were sound asleep, one of them picked up the remote and switched off the air conditioner.

“Buzz, the drugs were in the AC vent. Do we need to clean it up?” one whispered.

As he spoke, another man brushed aside the strands of hair framing Amelia’s face.

The moment Vincent caught a clear glimpse of Amelia’s face, his expression shifted.

Without the slightest hesitation, he ordered, “Get them both in the car p>

Moments later, two vans pulled away quietly from the hotel’s back entrance.

At a house in the suburbs of Simgan,

Wendy’s eyes lit up the instant she saw Vincent step out of the vehicle.

“Vincent, did you bring him p>

“When have I ever failed you?” Vincent replied with a trace of pride.

As he spoke, two men hauled Wyatt from the van.

Beneath the night sky, Wyatt’s striking features seemed even more defined, and the bitterness Wendy had been nursing dissolved at the mere sight of his face.

Just then, Amelia was carried down as well.

Wendy’s smile faltered, and her brows knitted in displeasure.

“Why did you bring this woman too p>
