Chapter 314 Are You Ready for the Final Settlement?
Chapter 314 Are You Ready for the Final Settlement?
From the beginning of Isabella's death countdown until now.
Every single event clearly marked out.
Isabella announces the countdown — Amelia and William initiate divorce proceedings, both entering the mandatory cooling-off period.
Isabella participates in The Sound of Heaven — Just days after Amelia fell down the stairs and had a miscarriage, and the featured song 'Love in Micro' was forcibly taken from Amelia.
Isabella attends the charity gala — The person who brought out the tanzanite was Amelia, the person who bid for the tanzanite was William, the person who didn't spend any money was Isabella, who even got an extra ruby afterward. At this time, Amelia and William were still in the cooling-off period.
...
Isabella's charity sale — According to current information, in a few days the showdown between Amelia and Isabella will end, and the proceeds from this charity sale will also be counted in the competition data.
Everything laid out crystal clear.
Then the conclusion — [If Isabella hadn't been exposed, she would have gained both reputation and money, and she doesn't actually have the disease. If she successfully married William, the future benefits would be even greater.]
Once this came out, relevant people immediately started calculating.
Someone listed out all of Isabella's gains in simple, easy-to-understand language.
"Even if she's eventually exposed for faking the illness, it won't really affect her, because the money's already in her hand, she's already married to William, worst case she just quits the industry!"
"She's had such a smooth ride all along!"
"Of course she has, with stomach cancer as her cover. No matter what Amelia does, she gets attacked, with countless people pitying Isabella and helping her."
"Now that you put it that way, I suddenly realize how miserable Amelia was. She's clearly the victim, yet she's been constantly pressured to give way to Isabella."
"This is disgusting. Isabella is using netizens' sympathy to bully Amelia!"
"Haven't you noticed she's still trying to make excuses, saying she was deceived!"
...
The netizens were furious.
They were truly and completely furious.
They'd been used as pawns!
But, the situation didn't stop there.
As time slowly passed, some people from the police station also came out.
Some of those who had been emotionally stirred up before had now sobered up after being question."
After they came out, they also spoke up.
One person posted online.
Everyone knows I've always supported Isabella. This time at Floral Haven, I was there too.
After this incident, I've realized I was completely played.
All along, I trusted Isabella so much, charging into battle for her, contributing money and effort.
But just like that caregiver said, Isabella had time to update her social media, yet when she knew we were doing terrible things at Floral Haven, she didn't stop us.
Because of Isabella, I've always really disliked Amelia, even hated her, and I've made irrational comments before.
But this time, when I was at the police station, I received help from Amelia.
Now I finally realize how badly I've been deceived.
...
After this person, many more spoke up.
Before, since no major incident had occurred, few people had woken up, but this time was different.
It was a serious incident.
When they were detained by police, several people's lives were hanging in the balance, still being resuscitated.
They all had to bear responsibility.
Their relatives, family members, and friends — not one didn't hate Isabella.
Reporters also released some photos taken outside the police station.
You could indeed see Amelia and York busy inside.
A lot of other people came forward to testify.
...
The caregiver had already exposed everything that happened at Floral Haven and requested protection.
Isabella also gave a statement, but she insisted she hadn't done anything, that it was all spontaneous actions by fans, and that she was even a victim herself.
She wanted to clear herself completely.
As for William, he had already returned to the hospital.
The physical pain continued, but his heart was numb.
What should he do?
...
Time slowly passed.
Over these past few days, Amelia had done many things.
She went to rent a new office, contacted previous contacts.
Made all preparations for a quick takeover.
Others weren't idle either.
Soren was responsible for maintaining Amelia's online reputation.
The Adams Group, as Amelia's management company, had also been actively cooperating with related matters recently.
All recent data on Amelia and Isabella was sent to the Brown family, where they assigned people to do the final tally.
Isabella hadn't made any moves these past few days either.
She hadn't spoken up online.
No one knew what she was doing. It seemed that since coming out of the police station that day, Isabella had disappeared.
William had been recovering from his injuries.
William's injuries were mostly superficial bruises and scrapes, so after several days, he had recovered quite a bit.
Now he could move around in a wheelchair.
William handled many Brown Group matters, stabilizing the Brown Group's stock price.
But his mental state was very poor.
Finn and Cleo were worried and found a psychologist for William.
But William refused to see the doctor at all.
"I know my own situation," William only said this one sentence.
All of this made Felicity furious.
She tried to find Amelia multiple times, but Amelia simply wouldn't discuss anything beyond work.
Felicity had no choice.
And so, finally, this day arrived.
That morning, Amelia got up from bed. She opened the curtains and walked onto the balcony.
Earlier she had agreed to York's suggestion to move to the master bedroom, but she'd been so busy these past few days, constantly on the go, so she was still staying here for now.
At this moment, she stood alone on the balcony, watching the sun slowly rise on the horizon.
Once everything was confirmed today, she would begin a new chapter of her life.
A knock sounded at the door.
"Come in," Amelia said softly.
After a moment, someone walked to her side.
Amelia looked at York standing beside her.
"Ready?" York asked.
Amelia nodded.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Hopefully everything would go smoothly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, William, who hadn't slept all night, also sat up from the large bed in his apartment.
Looking at the sun on the horizon.
Today was the last chance.
Whether he could keep her or not.
...
It had rained last night, and the morning air was very fresh.
Pedestrians hurried along the streets, with people already working outside at this hour.
Many people couldn't sleep that night.
Finn and Cleo were among them.
"What do you think will happen today?" Cleo asked worriedly.
"I don't know. I'm just afraid William won't be able to handle it," Finn shook his head.
Cleo said hesitantly, "Do you think Amelia is really together with York?"
"York has always been determined to win," Finn said helplessly. "Cleo has come to understand, but York..."
Both fell silent.
Finally, Finn shook his head, "Let things take their natural course."
Cleo nodded, and the two prepared to set out.
As time passed, all relevant personnel converged on the Brown Group, waiting for the final settlement.
