Chapter 458 Shameless and Pride
Finished
She had worked hard to place many of her own people inside the Nygard Group. All of it was for one reason -to find where that thing was hidden.
She could not sit still and wait anymore.
If she did, every person she planted there would be removed by that cursed Amelia, one by one.
It was the weekend.
Amelia had planned to visit the Curran Estate today. Whitney had invited her several times over the past few days, full of enthusiasm.
She complained about aches everywhere and said she felt unwell. She wanted Amelia to come over and design a treatment for her.
Amelia did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She knew exactly what Whitney was really after. How could she not?
Cora’s situation was more urgent right now. Amelia needed to go back and check up on her again.
She also wanted to visit the Jordan Estate. And more importantly, she wanted to see that mysterious little boy she had met that day.
Maybe that child could help her with the secret investigation she was working on.
So in the end, she chose to go to the Jordan Estate.
As soon as Amelia stepped outside, she saw a familiar, top-of-the-line, limited-edition Rolls-Royce parked there.
The next second, the window rolled down.
“Get in.”
The voice belonged to Jeremy.
Amelia was not surprised at all. The owner of that car and that license plate was obvious.
“Why are you here?” she asked as she got into the car.
She rarely turned down his invitation.
“I’m here to pick you up and go to the Jordan Estate together,” he said casually.
“How did you know I was going to the Jordans?” she asked.
He knew her destination. He even got the timing right.
“You just helped Mrs. Jordan recover. Of course, they would invite you over to thank you,” Jeremy said.

He was in a great mood. Lately, he felt that his relationship with Amelia had moved forward a little.
So naturally, he had to be more proactive.
“So you’re planning to show up without an invitation too?” Amelia raised an eyebrow.

“How is that showing up uninvited?” he replied. “Our families are close. I can go anytime I want. Besides-”
He paused on purpose. Then he smiled at her, eyes bright.
“Besides, you’re my girlfriend. It’s only right that I go with you.”
Amelia reacted instantly. “Who agreed to be your girlfriend?”
The moment the words left her mouth, her heart started pounding fast.
She did not even understand why she was so flustered. It felt like someone had poked right at her secret thoughts.
Jeremy saw through her reaction and felt secretly pleased. His face, however, stayed calm and relaxed. He purposely leaned a little closer, his warm breath brushing against her cheek.
“I’m not the only one who thinks so,” he said softly. “Everyone says we’re a perfect match. Like we were meant for each other.
“All those jealous women out there? They’re jealous because they already see you as my girlfriend.”
Lately, this man had become more shameless by the day.
So thick-skinned, in fact, that he had fully mastered one simple truth: if you want to get the girl, you sometimes have to be shameless.
A girl like Amelia-beautiful, capable, kind, and admired by so many people, both in secret and in the open
-was not someone you could win over with money alone.
Being gentle, thoughtful, and attentive still wasn’t enough.
You had to forget your pride and strike aggressively.
Jeremy was sure of it. If he didn’t do this, a girl as precious as Amelia would definitely be snatched away by some other bad guy.
“That’s just what other people think,” Amelia corrected him. It’s not real.”
“Then I want to turn that into reality,” he said without hesitation.
“You haven’t succeeded yet.”
“True,” Jeremy replied calmly. “Then I’ll just imagine it for now. Who knows? One day it might come true.”
Amelia had no words.
For once, she had nothing to say. She was completely out of words.
