Amos Shaw watched for a while, seeing that Amelia Wright seemed to be truly asleep. She really seemed indifferent to the chaos outside, whether people were fighting for her or not. It’s quite amusing, that Godfery Shaw actually likes such a cold-blooded woman, even causing the family’s focus because of her. Nothing special, just good looking. Amos Shaw walked out of the winery, intending to go over and watch the commotion. As soon as Amos Shaw left, Amelia Wright opened her eyes. The dosage seemed still insufficient, Amos Shaw would unconsciously get close to her, but his guard was too strong. Amelia Wright had been kept here for a few days, but she never thought of lying down, waiting for rescue; she was always thinking of ways to save herself. Because of the child in her belly, she couldn’t do anything too crazy, but she could drug him. Amos Shaw wasn’t aware of Amelia Wright’s tactics, let alone Amos Shaw, even those familiar with Amelia Wright would often forget her methods due to her overly weak appearance. She didn’t only carry a knife, but was also in the habit of carrying some self-defense medicines, back then, she even managed to knock Godfery Shaw out. Those self-defense items were always there, as long as she lived one more day, she defended herself one more day against the world. She found it very easy to knock out Amos Shaw, but after knocking him out, there were too many people here, she couldn’t leave the winery. Therefore, Amelia Wright never did so, she remained calm, using a small amount of hallucinogenic drugs to affect Amos Shaw, she’d once used such hallucinogens to briefly hypnotize Bess Bennett, forcing her to sign the severance document. As Amos Shaw approached Amelia Wright more frequently, it became easier to affect him. In the past few days, Amos Shaw enjoyed speaking in front of Amelia Wright. Perhaps after hiding for so many years, he wanted to find a sense of presence, especially in front of the woman related to Godfery Shaw. Amelia Wright managed to stay conscious due to developing drug resistance, she often found it hard to sleep otherwise, she would mix some of this drug into calming incense to briefly relax and reluctantly fall asleep. Sleeping pills would harm the child, while the ones she formulated herself did not. Given more time, she should eventually manage to influence Amos Shaw, successfully escaping. Emma Lewis and Elijah Jefferson were searching; would they discover here? What exactly did Amos Shaw want to do? It couldn’t be merely for amusement. Outside Imperial Garden Villa. As Amos Shaw arrived, he saw it seemed like fighting had ceased. Basil Smith stood in front of Emma Lewis, reassuring, "Imperial Garden can’t be opened for search, but if you trust Hailey Smith, I can have her search, place by place, without missing any spot." Emma Lewis hesitated, Hailey Smith should be trustworthy, when Amelia Wright was imprisoned by Godfery Shaw, it was Hailey Smith who covered for them, allowing rescue. Godfery Shaw didn’t object, wanting to quickly resolve the current problem, he needed to arrange the search. Read full story at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵 Amelia had been missing for three days, he feared to imagine what she might have endured. The tragedy was, even at this point, he couldn’t show any sign, as the Shaw family detecting his attitude towards Amelia would spell disaster for her. Emma Lewis was just about to nod. Someone was approaching them. Amos Shaw came over, wearing his fitting mask, speaking cynically, "Cousin, you’re always assertive, why bother with all this nonsense with them, dare to storm Imperial Garden and just kick them out." Godfery Shaw’s eyes darkened deeply, like a provoked wolf king, his aura carried a lethal intention. Yet Amos Shaw wasn’t afraid. Others didn’t know, but during this visit to Riverwood, he deliberately hadn’t hidden anything, with his uncle behind him, Godfery Shaw wasn’t foolish, surely knowing who he was, and unlikely to dare act against him. This time he’d come, intending to start consolidating power, to truly control the Shaw family. The first to suppress was Godfery Shaw, the sharpest blade. Laughably, as a blade, he should obey his master, who allowed him to have weaknesses and personal interests. Initially, Amos Shaw thought he’d truly severed his weakness, just a woman, nothing worth holding onto. Unexpectedly, upon investigating in Riverwood City, he found that Godfery Shaw and Amelia Wright were indeed divorced but that Hailey Smith was secretly transporting things to the old district at night. The so-called fiancée, Evelyn Dawson, was so terrified she was cowering in Imperial Garden, afraid to move. Considering Godfery Shaw acting this way, Amos Shaw felt he wasn’t fit to be his sharpest blade, among the few the Shaw family fostered, he valued Godfery Shaw most. So, this time he personally took Amelia Wright, the blade needed sharpening to stay sharp, and Amelia was coincidentally the grindstone. Amos finished speaking, looking at Godfery Shaw with interest, wanting to see his reaction. Emma Lewis was still speechless, wondering why Amos Shaw came. Elijah Jefferson, however, keenly sensed the atmosphere was somewhat off. Elijah Jefferson reacted quickly, without a word, he punched towards Godfery Shaw. Godfery Shaw raised his hand to block Elijah Jefferson’s punch. At this moment, the two were very close, Godfery Shaw quickly lowered his voice, "Trust me, I didn’t hide her, but I suspect someone, possibly the Shaw family, now let’s act, use family threats to break into Imperial Garden." Their brief punch contact quickly diffused. Elijah Jefferson felt a tremor in his heart, the Shaw family? Godfery Shaw actually suspected the Shaw family. Given the methods of Emma Lewis and Elijah Jefferson, their joining forces in Riverwood City without finding her raised suspicion, particularly towards himself. Although he hadn’t acted, then the most likely suspect was the Shaw family. Had his recent actions been too conspicuous, arousing the Shaw family’s suspicions? So they acted against Amelia regardless of his marital status? This timing, Amos Shaw appearing in Riverwood, seemed off. After hearing Godfery Shaw’s words, Elijah Jefferson believed him. Actually, Elijah Jefferson didn’t know Godfery Shaw well, as they’d rarely interacted. But he knew Amelia Wright’s attitude towards Godfery Shaw, Amelia Wright trusted Godfery Shaw. She spent eight million to buy a man, solely to let Godfery Shaw give up. Elijah Jefferson immediately made up his mind, coldly saying, "Godfery Shaw, don’t think we’re afraid of you, in Riverwood City, you might dominate, but angering us, the Lewis family and Jefferson Estate will pressure the Shaw family in Capital City, you may not fear, but let’s see if the Shaw family does!" Godfery Shaw filled with hostility, "How dare you!" Elijah Jefferson coldly snorted, "Watch me, your Shaw family’s young members are plenty, while the Lewis family has only Emma Lewis as the sole daughter, and in my Jefferson Estate, I’m the next heir, we can represent both families, can you represent the Shaw family?" Godfery Shaw seemed truly angered, "I don’t need to represent the Shaw family, I only know you won’t storm Imperial Garden. Hailey Smith, take action!" Hailey Smith was most obedient, even without knowing the situation, as the young master ordered action, action was taken. Emma Lewis was still bewildered, wasn’t it agreed that Hailey Smith would inspect? Why did Elijah Jefferson suddenly get angry, resulting in the current situation?
