Amelia still looked like a brave female warrior a second ago, but upon seeing her father's call, she immediately wilted and lowered her head. "Amelia, don't be scared."

Steven hugged her tightly, staring at her with a deeply affectionate gaze. "I'm with you. I'll go back with you. If Chairman Thompson scolds you because of this, I'll definitely shield you." "How... How will you do it? Dad can be very scary when he's mad," Amelia murmured, feeling nervous.

Steven chuckled softly by her ear. "I'll say... Father-in-law, come at me if you need to vent your anger. Don't damage your relationship with your daughter."

Amelia's heart skipped a beat as if an electric current had spread through her body, numbing her. Her face was tinged with a shade of red, like a blooming rose. Steven could not look away. The young couple had the same plan, but Bella was worried.

She was not afraid of Wyatt, but she feared Wyatt would blame Amelia or ground her, making the days harder for these lovebirds.

Wyatt's calls were relentless.

Justin naturally understood Bella's concerns. He said seriously, "Bella, if it's hard for you, I'll talk to Chairman Thompson."

"You?" Bella blinked. "What are you going to say?"

Justin pretended to think, his lips curling up. His gaze was gentle and genuine, imitating Steven's. "I'll say that it was all my idea and has nothing to do with you, Amelia, or Steven. He can direct his anger at me and hit me, but don't..."

"Stop! Why are you adding to the trouble?"

Bella pouted angrily, poking his solid chest muscles fiercely. "Steven is trying to get Wyatt to sympathize, but if you say the same thing, you'd be getting ahead of yourself. Don't you want to be with me without so many obstacles?"

Seeing that Bella was mad, Justin panicked. He quickly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest. "I was wrong. I was just joking."

But he did not think it was a joke at all.

His main objective in life was to marry Bella and become Wyatt's son-in-law. Everything else could take a back seat.

Bella calmed herself, rehearsed her words, and picked up the call.

"Dad."

"Is Amelia with you?" Wyatt immediately asked straightforwardly.

"Yeah." Bella's heart was pounding.

"Get her to answer the phone." Wyatt's gruff voice revealed a sense of urgency.

Bella took a deep breath, and her expression turned solemn. "Dad, since things have come to this point, it's pointless for you to blame Amelia. Rather than throwing a tantrum now, we should think of how to salvage the situation."

Wyatt angrily rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone. "Tsk! Bella, are you blind? Am I such a fool in your eyes that I can't decide what's more important?"

Bella raised a brow, thinking to herself, 'Tsk, at least he's self-aware.'

Wyatt's voice was loud, so Justin and the others heard him clearly.

Amelia knew her sister was taking the brunt of this for her, and she felt guilty.

Just as she wanted to take the phone, Wyatt sighed heavily. "Do you think your plan will work? I know you are at the KS World Hotel in Savrow. With my temper, if I'm truly enraged, I would have Amelia bound and dragged back to Yara Park by now."

The word bound was emphasized, causing Steven's heart to tighten. He held Amelia closer in his arms.

Justin quietly thought that Bella and Wyatt were indeed father and daughter. They had the same type of roguish behavior when they were provoked.

Wyatt's tone turned gentle. "I called because I don't mean to blame Amelia. Quick, I'm worried. I want to hear my daughter's voice."

Bella's pupils shrank slightly. She handed the phone to Amelia. "Amelia, Dad wants to talk to you."
