"Bella, Justin..."

Amelia was nestled in Steven's arms, her voice weakening, and her head hung low with guilt.

Bella acted angry, showing a stern face. "Amelia, you've grown up, having learned how to act first and tell us later."

"Ahem... Bella, Amelia never told us anything." Justin blinked and said, "It was you who noticed that the layout of the livestream room looked similar to your hotel. Then, you called the front desk to retrieve the check-in information to confirm that Amelia was here, right?"

"So what? Should I let her off?" Bella glared at him with a sharp gaze.

Justin, the president of Salvador Corporation, immediately held his breath and became silent.

What else could he do? He had to listen and obey his wife's words. His authority was non-existent in front of Bella.

"Bella, I'm sorry... I know I'm at fault."

Amelia sniffed, her nose turning red. However, she still gathered her courage and said in a determined tone, "But even if you resent me, I will not regret what I chose to do today. Bella, do you know that I've not felt so triumphant in a long time?

"I feel as if... I am doing something very important-something right. You've told me since I was a kid that you want to become a heroine and seek justice for the world. What I did today was like fulfilling your wish for you. Besides, aren't I standing before you safely now? Even if there's danger, Steven will protect me."

Steven looked into Amelia's clear eyes. His love and affection were as deep as the ocean.

Bella wanted to keep up the act, but after listening to these heartfelt words, she could not hold it back anymore and finally laughed.

"Who said anything about you being wrong?"

Amelia's eyes flickered with joy. "Bella! You... You're not mad at me anymore?"

"I'm mad at you because you switched off your phone and went off the grid!"

Bella placed a hand on her waist and huffed. "Hmph! Are you trying to scare us to death? Do you know that during the few hours you were missing, the horror stories flashing through my mind were enough to make up a criminal documentary? Murder, dismemberment, kidnapping, psychotic perverts-I've run through them all!"

Justin and Steven were speechless.

Amelia's delicate brows furrowed as she chuckled. "Bella, you have such a wild imagination. Nothing has happened to me, yet you were scaring yourself senseless. Don't let your imagination run wild. You used to have trouble falling asleep after watching a horror movie. Then you would climb into my bed and cling to me while trembling. Have you forgotten? If you think about so many scary things, you won't be able to sleep tonight."

Bella's face immediately flushed with embarrassment. She stammered, "Who... Who trembled? I didn't."

Upon hearing it, Justin's eyes darkened, and his breath landing on Bella's smooth hair turned heavy.

It turned out that she had something she was afraid of too.

He would have to make sure lan downloaded more horror movies in the future. There would be new creative plays to explore during their intimate moments.

Just as the atmosphere relaxed, Bella's phone rang.

"Oh damn... It's Wyatt."
