Chapter 190 William: Should I Let Go?
Amelia had steadied herself by now, so she wasn't holding onto York anymore.
Several yachts had already docked at the shore.
Workers on the shore immediately came over to help carry things.
"No rush, no rush, let's count first!" Mia immediately said loudly, "Let's see if they caught more or we caught more!"
Amelia had also gotten off the boat with York's help.
At this moment, she looked up again, but William's figure, which had been standing over there looking this way just moments ago, had already disappeared.
It was as if everything just now had been nothing but her illusion.
This made her frown involuntarily.
Just as she was puzzled, York beside her said, "You didn't see wrong, it was him."
Amelia looked at York.
And he just showed a gentle smile on his face.
"I don't know why he just took one look and left either," York said, something thoughtful in his eyes. "Maybe he realized something."
Amelia nodded thoughtfully.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's not worry about all that. Let's just be happy. Didn't you say the chef you hired is really good? We should have a great meal tonight!"
York nodded, "Right."
The two smiled at each other.
Amelia felt she really needed to eat more tonight, otherwise she wasn't sure if she could handle tomorrow's new product launch.
Actually, she had suggested to York before that their second date could be postponed.
But York insisted on today.
Amelia knew he was trying to help her relax, which is why it wasn't just the two of them, but everyone coming together for sea fishing.
This made her feel very secure.
Just as Amelia and York were talking, Mia over there let out a surprised cry.
Then she hurried over.
"Amelia, you guys caught a super big one! How did you manage to get it up?" Mia's eyes were wide and round, looking extremely surprised.
"Almost fell into the sea," Amelia said with a laugh, pushing everything else out of her mind.
York beside her also nodded, "It bit Amelia's hook and immediately pulled her down. I almost couldn't hold on to her."
Everyone laughed and joked around, having a great time together.
Not far away on the other side, William sat silently in his car. He lit a cigarette.
Skylar's words kept echoing in his mind—
"If you love her so much, then would you really be willing to hurt her?"
"If staying by your side only brings her pain, why don't you let her go?"
The rising smoke made him look somewhat dejected.
Amelia's face from just now appeared in his mind.
Just now, she had smiled so beautifully.
By his side, she hadn't smiled like that in a long time.
Should he really let go?
He didn't know.
And he didn't want to.
Cigarette butts littered the ground by the car, while the villa on the other side was filled with joy and laughter.
People were eating together, playing games. The floor-to-ceiling windows reflected her dancing with someone else, and beside those two adult figures was the silhouette of a sitting child.
They were happy.
She was happy.
Mia's heart-wrenching singing voice drifted over from afar.
Only he was unhappy.
...
At this time, online discussions were counting down to tomorrow's Jenkins Group new product launch.
Online discussions were buzzing—
"So, seeing Amelia and York go sea fishing just now was to celebrate tomorrow's new product launch in advance? They're so bold? They dare to celebrate in advance! Aren't they afraid of failure?"
"Who knows? I got some inside information saying that this time Amelia isn't just a spokesperson, she's also one of the main people in charge of the entire project. You could say the entire marketing part of the project was created by her own hands."
"That's impressive. Does she even know how to do this stuff? All these years before, wasn't she just William's personal secretary?"
"Who knows? Anyway, we'll see tomorrow. If she fails, Isabella will be laughing her head off."
...
This new product launch was getting attention from many sides.
First and foremost was Isabella.
She was quite optimistic about it.
"She didn't have much of a role at the Brown Group before, how could she suddenly shine at the Jenkins Group?"
Isabella said to the caregiver beside her, "I bet York is pursuing her, so he's feeding her resources. Those things weren't designed by her at all. When the time comes, I'll report her for cheating and she'll get nothing!"
The caregiver nodded as if understanding.
However, Isabella still felt she should be more cautious, so she contacted Carl's team to smear Amelia tomorrow.
...
At the Brown Villa.
Seeing these gossip posts, both Finn and Cleo shook their heads.
"What do you think William will do if Amelia really gets together with York?"
"He'll probably go crazy..." Cleo said.
Finn nodded.
"Back then... it was so close..."
Finn didn't finish.
"Let nature take its course," Cleo finally said. "We can only leave it to fate. This is all we can do."
...
In a hotel suite.
Alvin held a glass of red wine, looking at all this stuff online, smiling broadly.
"Who would have thought, Amelia, after all these years, you've never lacked admirers, but why did you choose him of all people?"
"Such a dangerous person."
In Alvin's mind appeared several meetings with York. York never showed blood on his hands, yet always won decisively, and each time York had that smiling expression that made people angry just looking at it.
"But good luck to you," Alvin said with a smile. "Compared to others, I believe in you more."
"And besides, I feel..."
"It's time to add a little spice for tomorrow and the future."
...
At the seaside villa, Amelia and York sat on the sand, enjoying the breeze.
"Are you scared about tomorrow's new product?" York asked.
Amelia, enjoying the sea breeze and sipping her drink, said, "Of course I am."
"Can't tell," York smiled.
Amelia turned to look at York in front of her, "How about now?"
York didn't say anything. Amelia smiled and said, "This is about whether I can get back the Martinez family's things. It's very important to me, so I'm worried."
York lowered his eyes slightly. He reached out to brush away the hair blown messy by the sea breeze.
"Once, I met a reckless person at the Seraphim border. They did things completely without rules, and that shipping route was very important to me. I had to negotiate it, so I was very worried too."
"But later, everything went smoothly. I heard that reckless person had long since changed from their unruly nature, so the cooperation went very smoothly."
Amelia smiled, "You're talking about Alvin?"
York nodded with a light laugh, "You guessed it."
"I also heard that the person who changed him was you," York added, looking at Amelia.
"If you could handle him, these things are nothing."
"Don't worry too much. We've all reviewed the plan, and everyone thinks there's no problem. Trust me, Amelia, you will succeed."
Amelia looked into York's eyes, where there was a calming power.
Finally, she nodded, "Okay."
