Chapter 189 The End

Chapter 189 The End

After leaving, Amelia returned to her company.

The net had been cast.

This matter was finally coming to an end.

An hour later, her phone rang.

Amelia's face lit up with delight. She exchanged a knowing glance with Hannah, and the two quickly left the office.

Meanwhile, at the same factory where the previous exchange had taken place.

The man and woman stood at the entrance, staring at each other with anxious expressions.

"Do you think we'll be chopped up after they catch us?" the man asked worriedly.

The woman was equally terrified.

"We did break the street rules by secretly keeping the client's check. Even though the client asked us to do it, we still didn't hand over the real check."

Amelia had instructed them to do exactly that.

Hand over a fake check, and the person behind everything would panic and track them down.

The two of them would obediently wait at the factory, and their reward would come in due time.

Before long, urgent footsteps echoed outside.

The pair pricked up their ears.

Soon, the factory door was violently kicked open.

"You two bastards! How dare you pocket the client's check!"

Along with the shouting, a group of men entered.

Among them was a young man in a suit.

Leading the group was Mike, a trusted enforcer under the black market boss. The young man in the suit was the seller behind this transaction.

The woman immediately begged for mercy.

"Would you believe me if I said we didn't want to take the check on purpose?"

"Bullshit! You got greedy when you shouldn't have. Did you forget the street rules? Embezzling a client's money means losing both hands."

Mike gestured to his men.

His subordinates immediately surrounded the pair, leaving no escape.

The woman was grabbed and her left hand forced onto the ground. The man was pinned down, his right hand pulled out.

Both were terrified out of their wits.

"Mike, this really wasn't our choice! Someone forced us to do it!"

Mike burst out laughing, then walked up and kicked each of them.

"You idiots can't even come up with a decent excuse. Who would force you to steal money these days? Do you think I'm a three-year-old who'd believe your nonsense?"

Mike nodded smugly to his men.

Large gleaming cleavers were pulled from behind their backs.

The pair nearly wet themselves in fear.

"This really wasn't our choice—someone forced us!"

"Mike, we've worked in the black market for so long and built up some reputation. You have to believe us!"

They screamed in terror.

Just then, more chaotic footsteps sounded outside the factory.

Mike listened and realized someone was coming.

Soon, people poured into the factory, all wearing official uniforms.

Leading them was Lawrence.

Behind him walked Amelia.

"I think we've finally caught the big fish," Amelia said casually, her sharp gaze fixed on Tony in the distance.

Eric!

Eric's eyes instantly turned vicious.

He never imagined he'd be exposed.

"You did this on purpose?"

Only now did he believe what those two had said—they truly had been forced. They'd been pawns from the start.

The fake check was nothing but bait to lure him here for arrest.

Amelia stepped forward, her expression even colder as she looked at Eric.

"Your disguise skills are impressive. At first, I thought you were dead. Then I discovered you'd undergone plastic surgery and even infiltrated our circle."

Eric's face showed slight surprise at her words.

He'd kept his identity well hidden all this time, yet it was still exposed.

Eric lowered his head and let out a sinister laugh, a rattling sound in his throat.

"I really underestimated you. I never thought after all this time apart, you'd still recognize me."

Amelia's eyes filled with disgust.

"Don't think I know you that well. Albert gave me your identity files. And to cover up the possibility of exposure, you went after him too, didn't you?"

Eric's smile froze as he suddenly realized something.

"You deliberately leaked information to make me think Albert might expose my identity. You were using me..."

Using him against Albert.

Amelia didn't deny it or explain.

She wanted them to fight each other. That way, Victoria could finally escape Albert's control and live peacefully with her child.

Eric flew into a rage. "Amelia, I never thought I'd fall into your hands one day. My plan was perfect, without any flaws!"

"Yes, your plan was indeed perfect. Unfortunately, I have keen eyes. You couldn't fool me."

Amelia smiled faintly, calm and composed, as if everything was under her control.

Lawrence quickly took the men away.

Eric was cornered with nowhere to run and was successfully captured.

However, due to the plastic surgery, his records couldn't be found. They needed proof of his identity. The file Albert had provided earlier now proved crucial.

It not only confirmed Eric's identity but also led to the takedown of an illegal cosmetic surgery operation.

At the same time, Amelia's greatest threat was finally eliminated.

All the important cooperative projects within the company were secured by Amelia, and everyone in the corporation acknowledged her capabilities.

Oliver's health remained poor. Shortly after being discharged, he was taken home to recuperate.

From then on, he completely handed over control of Wilson Corporation to Amelia.

As for William, after finishing his work, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to planning the wedding following the engagement party.

For him, only by having his wife completely by his side could he feel at peace.

A happy life still lay ahead.

The End.
