Otherwise, it would only make Wyatt hate Justin even more, and the Iverson father-son duo would definitely cause problems for him.

"Karma... Karma is real!" Wyatt muttered to himself excitedly, but he was still brimming with lingering fear.

'Impotent? How could my son be impotent?' Lance was shaken by a deafening roar in his mind.

Hearing Wyatt's words, he was so furious that his face turned purple with rage. "Wyatt! What are you trying to say?! Are you cursing my son?!"

"Cursing?!" Wyatt's voice quivered, a scornful grin appearing across his face. His eyes blazed with anger as he said, "Charles did terrible things to my daughter! He should pay the price! If it weren't for the fact that he's your son, Lance, I'd make sure he never sees the light of tomorrow! Beating him up and sending him to prison? I wouldn't have been so merciful!"

Lance and James felt their hearts drop.

They had traveled from afar to demand answers, but they never imagined that they would end up being ridiculed themselves.

Christopher's eyes were bloodshot, and a drop of blood formed on his pale lower lip.

If this continued, Charles' life was at stake, and the relationship between the two families would be irreparably damaged. This would definitely get in the way of him and Bella!

"Why... Why?!" Celeste finally broke down. In Wyatt's embrace, she cried and yelled hysterically at Lance. "Just because Amelia is my daughter... Is it because I am a powerless and fragile woman? Does that mean everyone can bully her?!"

"Celeste! Don't put yourself down!" With tears in her eyes, Mila moved closer and hugged her. "Amelia is our little princess! She's no different from Bella or Asher. Please don't think like that!"

In the midst of Celeste's distress, a soft voice was heard.

"Mom... Don't cry, Mom..."

They followed the voice and spotted Amelia standing by the stairs, her face looking fragile and damp with tears. Her feet were bare, and she was wrapped in a blanket, trembling from head to toe.

"Amelia!"

Celeste rushed to her daughter and embraced Amelia tightly. Her voice trembled as she sobbed, "Amelia, this is all my fault. Mom is useless... I couldn't protect you..."

"Mom, I'm okay... I'm okay..." Amelia whispered softly in her mother's ear. Despite being traumatized herself, she tried to comfort her mother and calm her down.

Upon seeing this, Bella felt her heart ache. Amelia was such a sensible child, always walking a harder path.

If only her sister had just a fraction of her determination and stubbornness, doing whatever she pleased, even if it meant being selfish for once, would any of this have happened?

"No way! Absolutely impossible! Charles would not do such a thing!" James was furious, angrily pointing at Bella and Asher. "You two must have plotted against my brother! You wanted to stop the union of our families, so you resorted to such dirty tricks! Despicable!"

"Shut your filthy mouth!" Ralph rebuked, appearing disheveled. "Even at this point, you're still trying to make excuses without shame. Did you become a CEO by just talking big?!"

Behind him stood Steven.

"Steven..." Amelia burst into tears but held back from sobbing out loud.

Steven looked at the woman he loved, feeling choked up and unable to speak, his eyes filled with tears. She was so close, yet seemed so far away.

"Heh... Chairman Thompson, what's this? Your whole family is teaming up against us." James smirked with a touch of malice. "Sure, your Thompson family might be powerful in Hatchbay, but our Iverson family in Savrow isn't easy prey. You've already offended the Hoffman family, do you really want to ditch your only ally? Making enemies in the business world is not a wise move."

Bella's beautiful eyes were burning with rage, but she understood how to handle James. Engaging in a short argument wasn't worth it. She made a mental note of this debt, determined to get back at him in the future and never let him rise again!
