Amos Shaw’s face turned completely dark. Back in Capital City, with the support of the Shaw family, everyone would listen to him, and he held the authority to issue orders. He could forever stand elegantly and gracefully in the background, engaging in witty banter, watching a group of people fight for him. But ever since he arrived in Riverwood City, nothing went smoothly. Not only was he unable to suppress Godfery Shaw, but even the Jefferson Estate and the Lewis family dared to challenge him. And in front of this Amelia Wright, he seemed unable to gain the upper hand either. This made Amos Shaw somewhat angrily embarrassed, but as the heir trained by the Shaw family for many years, he quickly calmed himself down. Amelia Wright felt a bit disappointed that Amos Shaw wasn’t provoked, and closed her eyes again, as if Amos Shaw was completely insignificant in her presence. Amos Shaw’s just calmed emotions were reignited by Amelia Wright closing her eyes. "Miss Wright, such audacity, do you think I’m one of those men who are head over heels in love with you?" Amos Shaw finished with a cold laugh, "Take her back to the room, no food for two days, only water." Amelia Wright reopened her eyes and frowned. Amos Shaw smiled elegantly again, as if he finally had the upper hand in this struggle, begging him, yes! This woman should beg him! The source of this content ɪs 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 He enjoyed watching his prey struggle at his feet, fearfully and humbly pleading; at that moment, he would stomp even harder. In truth, his heart was already tainted black in the mega melting pot of the Shaw family, just like Godfery Shaw and the others. However, he always wore a mask of elegance and grace, refusing to acknowledge his darkness. He was the future power-holder of the Shaw family, how could he be like those dogs the Shaw family cultivated to aid him? However, Amelia Wright did not beg. Two female workers from the winery came over to seize Amelia Wright. Amelia Wright calmly got up from the recliner and headed towards the room, not sparing Amos Shaw a glance. Amos Shaw’s breath caught. Good, very good, calm, right! Indifferent, right! Wait until she’s hungry after two meals, then she’ll know and compromise. Amelia Wright returned to the room and gently stroked her belly, "Baby, endure for a while." Amelia Wright just wanted to eat and sleep well, and didn’t want to contest with Amos Shaw. But now it seemed impossible; Amos Shaw, if she compromised and begged, could only escalate the situation. Thus, the only thing Amelia Wright could do was remain calm. She was used to hunger since childhood; those years in the Wright family, if she made even a slight mistake, besides beating her, the Wright family often punished her by not allowing her to eat. But she didn’t want her child to starve; the doctor said her child had developmental issues and needed to eat more. Amelia Wright’s disgust for Amos Shaw intensified briefly. Amelia Wright was locked in the room. Externally, it seemed like the whole Riverwood City was being turned upside down. Godfery Shaw began probing the Shaw family, like a lone wolf skirting the edges of Shaw family’s interests, occasionally grabbing a piece of prey. If the Shaw family had taken Amelia Wright, it could only have something to do with him. He was telling those in the Shaw family not to use such boring tactics to threaten him; if they wanted him to become a knife, the blade was destined to be sharp. The Shaw family convened a meeting. "What does Godfery Shaw want to do? Is he crazy? Dare to have a go at the Shaw family." "Amos Shaw is in Riverwood City and took that woman; this matter might have infuriated him." "Hmph, infuriated? What right does he have to be mad? Don’t forget his mother is still at the old house, would he not even consider his mother?" After a long time, an elderly person said solemnly, "Quiet, why all this noise? Godfery Shaw’s reaction, I find quite interesting. We need a knife, not an obedient puppet. Since Amos Shaw went to Riverwood City, it means he wants to subdue Godfery Shaw. Let him handle it himself; Capital City should not interfere." Joan Shaw frowned, "Brother, wouldn’t this be inappropriate? After all, Riverwood City is Godfery Shaw’s territory, Amos Shaw doesn’t have an advantage there." The elderly person declared indisputably, "The entire Shaw family is behind him; what other advantage does he need? You’ve cultivated Amos Shaw for so many years; it’s time to let him experience some rough waves. Godfery Shaw is a great sharpening stone." "No buts; this is the decision!" That’s how the Shaw family meeting concluded. Amusingly, Amos Shaw used Amelia Wright as a sharpening stone for Godfery Shaw, and the Shaw family regarded Godfery Shaw as a sharpening stone for Amos Shaw. After several probes, no reaction from the Shaw family, Godfery Shaw became somewhat puzzled. Logically, if the Shaw family took Amelia Wright, they should have revealed her by now. Godfery Shaw even began to suspect, could it be that Amelia was not taken by the Shaw family? Another two days went by. They were exhausted from searching. By this time, it had been five days since Amelia Wright disappeared. She might have already been taken out of Riverwood City. The only certainty was that Amelia Wright hadn’t left the country. But with so many cities in the country, Amelia might only be in a small city, or even a small village. Finding one person among the vast sea of people is no easy task. Moreover, they didn’t even know if Amelia Wright was safe now. With such poor health, still pregnant, being taken away, could her situation be good? Amelia Wright’s situation was indeed not good. Amos Shaw ordered Amelia Wright to be starved for two days. And then, two people were arranged to come from the Shaw family in the Capital City for Amos Shaw. He personally went to pick them up. Two young people, one male, one female. Like Godfery Shaw, they were also nurtured by the Shaw family from childhood and were Amos Shaw’s assistants. Of course, these people were different from Godfery Shaw; Godfery Shaw was locked up for seven days, fighting on the brink of death, never compromising until he agreed to protect the young Amelia Wright. Others either agreed upon selection or at most agreed after two days of confinement. Young children aren’t endowed with such perseverance. But once they chose to compromise, years of subtle influence, bit by bit training them, they truly became Amos Shaw’s dogs. Only Godfery Shaw was an exception, whether it was his dual personality or his methods, not even Amos Shaw nor the Shaw family in Capital City could claim full control. Now, Amos Shaw was gradually consolidating power, these people were also arranged to surface. This time, while Capital City didn’t interfere, they sent two people to Riverwood City to assist Amos Shaw. It seemed they subconsciously believed Amos Shaw could suffer against Godfery Shaw. Knowing Amos Shaw wasn’t as capable as Godfery Shaw subconsciously, yet never admitting it. Just like Amos Shaw himself, even he refused to admit his fear of Godfery Shaw. Amos Shaw personally went to fetch the people, with an attitude of respect and eagerness to learn. Upon fetching them, he took them around Riverwood City, discussed the situation and future developments in Riverwood City. Until nightfall, Amos Shaw was still engrossed. He was very satisfied with these subordinates, capable yet obedient. Just then, Amos Shaw received a call from Imperial Garden Winery. It seemed Amelia had compromised. He answered the call with a smile. "Young Master Shaw, things aren’t good; that woman is in trouble." Amos Shaw’s heart skipped a beat. "She suddenly fainted, her face was deathly pale. We didn’t dare call a doctor lightly, fearing discovery by the villa, but she’s pregnant and looks very unwell; what should we do now?"
