But even though Emma Lewis was confused, she still called over the people behind her. Whatever, let’s not bother with the details. If there’s a fight, let’s just fight first and talk later. She was irritated to death that she couldn’t find Amelia Wright. The two groups were on the verge of breaking out into a fight. This was a scene Amos Shaw was initially happy to see. But now the development was beyond his expectations. If this fight continued, the relationship at stake wasn’t with Godfery Shaw but the Shaw family from Capital City. The Shaw family didn’t fear any single family, but if the Jefferson Estate and Lewis family joined forces, it could be a real problem. Amos Shaw’s face had already darkened, and he quickly stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Wait." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 Everyone turned to look at Amos Shaw. Emma Lewis said impatiently, "Weren’t you the one who told Godfery Shaw to throw out anyone who trespasses Imperial Garden? What’s there to wait for? If you can’t explain, just fight first and talk later." Godfery Shaw had to listen to Amos Shaw publicly, but Elijah Jefferson and Emma Lewis certainly wouldn’t heed Amos Shaw. Amos Shaw secretly cursed to himself. He couldn’t bother with appearances anymore and overturned what he had said earlier: "Calm down, you two. I was just joking before. The few major families in Capital City are all friends. We shouldn’t be fighting over such a trivial matter. If you’re just looking for someone, I’ll take the lead and allow you to enter Imperial Garden. It’s no big deal." Godfery Shaw’s eyes showed a hint of mockery. From Capital City, after so many years of grooming, is this the kind of worthless person they produced? Emma Lewis asked suspiciously, "You can call the shots for Godfery Shaw?" Amos Shaw stiffened slightly; it wasn’t certain he could. Godfery Shaw was rebellious, and over the years, even his third uncle couldn’t necessarily say they tamed Godfery Shaw. Godfery Shaw took the initiative to speak: "Considering the good relations between the families, I can let you both in. It’s just a woman, haha, not worth me making a fuss." Elijah Jefferson and Emma Lewis quickly entered Imperial Garden. Amos Shaw breathed a sigh of relief. If he really attracted two adversaries because of this trivial matter, it wouldn’t be worthwhile. He gave Godfery Shaw a suspicious glance. Is it really just about a woman? If it were that simple, the woman wouldn’t have someone arrange for Hailey Smith to deliver things late at night after being pregnant with someone else’s child. If Godfery Shaw knew Amos Shaw took Amelia Wright away because of this, he would probably feel like killing Hailey Smith. Godfery Shaw didn’t know what Hailey Smith had done this time. Hailey Smith didn’t think it was a big deal. He occasionally delivered pillows or something since not sleeping for long could kill a person. When he was younger, his brother fell seriously ill once, and there was no one to take him to the doctor. He stayed up for three days. His brother got better, and he felt like he was going to die. Having experienced that kind of sleepless agony, he simply wanted Amelia Wright to feel a bit better. Elijah Jefferson and Emma Lewis searched through Imperial Garden and found no one at all. During their search, Elijah Jefferson took the opportunity to quietly tell Emma Lewis that Godfery Shaw suspected the Shaw family. Then the two quietly left the Imperial Garden. Elijah Jefferson saw that strange tension between Godfery Shaw and Amos Shaw, as if Amos Shaw represented the Capital City Shaw family, suppressing Godfery Shaw. So when Elijah Jefferson came out, he didn’t say anything to Godfery Shaw, but directly faced Amos Shaw, delivering a harsh warning: "Although we didn’t find anyone, Godfery Shaw remains the prime suspect. If anything happens to Amelia Wright or my child, I don’t mind a showdown!" Having said that, Elijah Jefferson quickly left. Emma Lewis frowned, looked at Godfery Shaw, then at Amos Shaw, and still followed with leaving. Godfery Shaw coldly arranged, "Send someone to find the person. Once found, keep them locked up. I’d like to see how Jefferson Estate plans to have a showdown." Amos Shaw’s face turned ugly. He said solemnly, "You still have feelings for Amelia Wright?" Godfery Shaw responded with an acknowledgment: "Indeed, I quite like that woman. Is there a problem?" Godfery Shaw’s previous attitude towards Amelia Wright was due to being threatened during Joan Shaw’s kidnapping, leading to their breakup. Claiming not to like her, Amos Shaw wouldn’t believe him. He does like her, but as long as he shows a willingness to freely let go, there’s no issue. Amos Shaw scrutinized Godfery Shaw, "Are you seriously considering defying the family for this woman and facing off against Jefferson Estate?" "A woman? Ridiculous." He looked at Amos Shaw, sternly saying, "As the future leader of the Shaw family, are you afraid of Jefferson Estate?" Amos Shaw’s expression faltered a bit: "It’s not about fearing Jefferson Estate, but their alliance with the Lewis family could cause unnecessary trouble for the Shaw family." "Is that so?" Godfery Shaw said no more, chuckled, and turned to leave. Amos Shaw’s face turned completely grim. Each time he had a conversation with Godfery Shaw, he felt incredibly irritated. Since being young, he had been chosen as the future successor of the Shaw family. With extraordinary intelligence and high parental status, he was a dazzling presence among his peers. Then the Shaw family began selecting people to assist him in the future. The other children weren’t remarkable, until Godfery Shaw appeared before him. Upon their first meeting, he accidentally hurt Godfery Shaw, which nearly got him killed by Godfery Shaw. Frightened and dazed, he expressed not wanting this aide. The Shaw family elders broke one of Godfery Shaw’s hands but still kept him, saying that someone like that, as a subordinate, would be the most capable aide. Amos Shaw accepted this. When he next met Godfery Shaw, he found that the broken hand punishment hadn’t subdued his ferocity one bit; Godfery Shaw still stared at him with that unsettling gaze. Later, as he grew older, he understood that gaze: the eyes of a hunter focused on its prey. Amos Shaw consoled himself, thinking Godfery Shaw didn’t know his identity, considering that one day, when his identity was revealed, Godfery Shaw would no longer dare to look at him with those eyes. The shadow from his youth remained buried in his heart to this day. Now the Shaw family began delegating power to him. He was gradually acquiring real control of the Shaw family, yet he immediately went to Riverwood City and took Amelia Wright away. His intention was to suppress Godfery Shaw and definitely had to suppress Godfery Shaw. But he just realized, Godfery Shaw was the same Godfery Shaw from back then, still carrying that same gaze. Even more fierce than before. He hadn’t yet found a way to suppress Godfery Shaw, and now Elijah Jefferson and Emma Lewis cropped up. Amos Shaw was now uncertain if taking Amelia Wright away was right or wrong. The main issue was not understanding the situation beforehand. He only thought this woman was the perfect whetstone for Godfery Shaw but didn’t anticipate Jefferson Estate and Lewis family valuing her so much. Now Godfery Shaw had joined the search, as if the few individuals plan to overturn Riverwood City. Amos Shaw returned to the wine estate with a somber face. Amelia Wright was still lying back on her chair, lazily half-cracking her eyes, looking at Amos Shaw with a cold smile: "You seem a bit disappointed, aren’t you, for not having a fight?" Upon hearing Amelia Wright’s taunt, Godfery Shaw suddenly spoke: "Miss Wright really has a trick up her sleeve. So many people are caught under your influence that three of the four major families from Capital City are clashing because of you." Amelia Wright chuckled lightly, her smile bewitching: "You should be careful, lest one day you too find yourself trapped by me."
