Amelia bit her pale lips. She took the phone in a panic, carefully pressing it against her flushed ear.
"Dad..."
"Amelia, the world has been turned upside down because of your livestream. But you really know how
to pick a location. You chose our family's hotel. That's cunning of you. Did you learn it from Bella?"
Wyatt teased.
"N-No..."
Amelia was embarrassed, stammering, "Dad, I'm sorry... Everything happened because of me. It's all
my fault. Don't blame Bella.......â
"After letting out what you've been holding in for so long, do you feel better?"
Her father's sudden question stunned Amelia. "Huh?"
"I know that incident has weighed heavily on your mind, and you could not let it go. Your mother hid in
her room almost every night, crying silently for you. If coming forward to expose Charles' vile acts
tonight makes you feel better, then I will support your decision fully." Wyatt's husky voice was gentle
and slow, as if afraid of frightening his timid daughter.
Amelia was shocked, causing her eyes to redden instantly. "Dad... I..."
"Good girl, don't cry. Don't feel like you've done something wrong. You are incredibly brave tonight.
Your mother and I are very proud of you."
The infamous business tycoon suddenly felt a lump in his throat, but he forcefully kept his composure
and smiled. "From now on, be straightforward and open. Don't be afraid to do something or speak out.
You are my daughter. If anyone dares to look down on you, I'll crush them!"
Burning tears streamed down Amelia's face, staining her delicate cheeks.
After she hung up, Bella's phone had already become wet, as if it had been fished out of the water.
Bella and Justin were worried upon seeing Amelia like this. Steven quickly took a handkerchief from his
coat pocket and wiped her tears hastily. He felt so distressed that he could hardly catch his breath, but
he dared not probe further.
"Amelia, did Wyatt scold you?" Bella asked softly.
Amelia shook her head, parting her trembling lips. "Dad said that he's proud of me."
She turned over, burying her wet face in Steven's chest, and sobbed.

Amelia thought she was too ordinary
and not impressionable. The

deep-seated inferiority made her too
timid to ask for anything from her father, no matter how good her academic achievements were.
But now, thinking she had made a mess, Amelia was trembling with fear, yet she was not scorned or
resented by Wyatt. Instead, he praised her. Amelia felt a mix of emotions as tears of happiness flowed
down her face.
After hearing it, Bella and Justin were stunned, then exchanged a knowing smile.
"Tsk... Wyatt is just acting mysterious and frightening me!"
Bella patted her chest but felt an inexplicable sense of relief. "It's a good thing that his brain is working
this time. At least he didn't act like a fool." Justin's heart, hanging in suspense, finally settled down. He
held Bella's hand and grabbed it tightly, interlocking their fingers.
"Amelia, continue to be brave from now on. We will always be your strongest support."
"Please don't. Not that I'm raining on your parade, but my heart has been on a roller coaster tonight,
beating so fast that it's going off the rails! If it happens again, I might have a heart attack!"
Bella nudged Justin with her elbow and said, "You spoil her too much. One female warrior in the
Thompson family is enough." Whether it was Camilla or Amelia, Bella wished they would not have to
go through storms in the future and live a carefree life.
