Chapter 97 The One That Was Broken Through Is the Samuel Family
Amelia wasn't the type to meddle in other people's business.
But for those who treated her sincerely, she would return that sincerity.
Lucas was also very happy. The moment he saw Amelia, he felt an unusual closeness.
It was a natural sibling bond written in their genes.
"I'm glad you like it."
Liam spoke up at this moment: "Amelia, help me upstairs. I have a few things I want to talk to you about."
Amelia remembered that she had introduced Liam, the hacker expert, to Byron, and wondered how that matter was going.
"Perfect timing, I also have something to talk to you about, Liam."
"Amelia, let me help you get Liam upstairs!"
Lucas stepped forward to help but was stopped by Grant.
"Lucas, you're wearing high heels and want to help? You should focus on walking steadily yourself. Don't end up making both Liam and Amelia fall down the stairs."
Lucas said confidently: "Don't worry, I've been wearing these high heels for several days now. I'm totally stable. Look if you don't believe me."
As he spoke, he walked quickly.
He was clearly quite used to the high heels.
However, Amelia clearly saw the bruises on Lucas's ankles.
Obviously he had twisted them several times before.
A complicated look flashed in Amelia's eyes.
She had thought Lucas would be like Liam, depressed from constant criticism, but he turned out to be completely opposite—a natural optimist.
She pushed aside her thoughts and said to Lucas: "Lucas, you should spend more time talking with Mom. Let Grant help me."
Grant lifted his chin, as if being chosen by Amelia to help was such a fortunate thing.
Lucas pouted but didn't say much, returning to Natalie's side.
After the three went upstairs, Lucas's expression became serious.
"Mom, during this time I've tried to find out through my connections. Dad's situation is completely because he got dragged down by the previous mayor. And that mayor himself was also implicated. Higher-level officials are fighting, and he was just a sacrifice. Dad is a sacrifice among sacrifices. I'm afraid things really look bad this time."
Natalie's heart jumped.
She didn't expect Lucas had already investigated to this extent.
She quickly grabbed Lucas's hand and said: "I have my own ways to handle your dad's matter. Don't run around for this anymore."
"How can that work?"
"Listen to me! This is not up for discussion!"
Lucas rarely saw Natalie speak so sternly, so he could only agree.
"Yes."
"Now go upstairs and change back into your own clothes. Dressed like this, it's weird."
She did want a daughter, but she already had one.
Lucas should continue being her son.
Lucas smiled, nodded in agreement, and went upstairs to change.
Meanwhile, after Grant was sent away by Liam, his expression quickly became serious.
"Amelia, the person you called me to help—what's his background?"
Amelia's expression stiffened slightly, then she smiled and asked: "Liam, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Liam said: "While helping, I sensed he's not just one person, but an organization. This organization seems to have a significant background. I'm afraid you've been deceived."
Amelia said: "Don't worry, Liam. This person is a friend I've known for many years. He won't deceive me."
"Then do you know what organization he's from?"
After hesitating, Amelia shook her head.
"I don't know either."
Liam frowned and said: "And you still say he's a friend of many years? Amelia, people's hearts are the hardest thing to read. I don't want you to encounter any dangerous people or situations. You and that friend of yours—you should stop contacting him. I sense they're very dangerous."
"I'll protect myself."
Seeing he couldn't persuade her, Liam could only sigh and say: "Do you know whose firewall they asked me to break through?"
Amelia hadn't had time to ask Byron yet, so she followed Liam's question: "Whose?"
"Samuel's."
Amelia's eyelids lifted, obvious surprise appearing in her eyes.
Why would Byron want to break through Samuel's firewall?
She heard Liam continue: "They had me break through his firewall to destroy a video file. I don't know what's in this video file, but Samuel is not someone to mess with. If he finds out this has anything to do with you, I'm afraid..."
Liam's eyes showed obvious worry.
He wasn't afraid of being implicated himself, only afraid that Amelia would be dragged into it.
But Amelia smiled.
"Liam, when you broke through their firewall this time, did you leave any traces?"
Liam shook his head: "No."
"Then isn't that fine? With your skills, he can't trace it back to you. He won't know about this."
"But there are no eternal secrets in the world. Sometimes unexpected situations happen."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
It was Grant returning with water.
Seeing their unnatural expressions, he asked puzzled: "Did something happen?"
Liam shook his head: "No, I was just reminding Amelia about some things."
"That's good. Mom wants us to come down for dinner. Liam, shall I help you down?"
"Okay."
The two of them, one on each side, supported Liam downstairs.
Later that evening, Liam called Grant to his room.
"Grant, find a way to stay close to Amelia during this time and protect her safety."
Grant was confused: "Liam, is Amelia in some danger?"
Liam didn't mention Samuel, only saying: "Just as a precaution. She was in the countryside before and who knows what kind of friends she made. She doesn't have much experience and is naive. I'm afraid she's been deceived."
Grant's expression froze.
Not much experience?
Amelia's experience was probably more than any of their six brothers.
But he had promised to keep Amelia's secrets, so he agreed.
"I'll protect her well."
"Good. Ask Felix too. The situation has calmed down these past few days. If he can come back, tell him to. He knows combat arts. If he's protecting Amelia, I'll feel more at ease."
"Got it, Liam."
At the same time, after showering, Amelia changed into dark-colored clothes.
Seeing from the surveillance that everyone at the Richardson family was asleep, she quietly left The Richardson Manor and went to Shadow Operations Division's address in Goldenvale.
She had only been gone for an afternoon, but the abandoned factory had already become a heavily guarded place.
However, from the outside, the abandoned factory still looked like an abandoned factory.
The gate opened.
The people inside greeted Amelia one by one.
"Blaze!"
"Blaze!"
Amelia nodded and went straight to find Byron.
Byron was talking with his subordinates. When he saw Amelia enter, his voice immediately stopped.
"Amelia, you're here?"
Amelia responded, pulled out a chair and sat down.
She crossed her arms and looked Byron up and down, making his back break out in cold sweat.
"Amelia, why are you looking at me like that? You're scaring me."
