"Amelia, you're asking for it!" A familiar voice, cold as ice, came from behind.

Amelia shivered and turned around. Under the harsh lights, a cold, captivating figure approached, radiating a menacing aura like an avenging angel. Sadie was nothing like the weak, bullied girl from two years ago. And Amelia, once arrogant and overbearing, was now a desperate fugitive. Amelia's face showed panic, but she quickly composed herself, gripping Mia tightly. "Sadie, let me go, or I'll take Mia down with me!" she sneered. "Mommy..." Mia, barely conscious, saw Sadie and felt a glimmer of hope.

"Mia, don't worry. I'm taking you home," Sadie said softly. Mia closed her eyes, exhausted.

"This is fate," Sadie said, raising her gun at Amelia. "Two years ago, you humiliated me and killed Brenda. Now, it's payback time."

"Are you crazy?" Amelia mocked. "I have Mia! I'm the winner!"

She got more excited. "Sadie, even with a new family, you're still stupid. You couldn't beat me then, and you can't now!"

"Amelia, you're so arrogant, you won't even see it coming," Arya snapped, pointing her gun at Amelia. A dozen female bodyguards followed suit.

Amelia sneered. "Even if I die, I'll take two with me. Serena is nothing, but Mia is precious to you and Micah. She'll join me in hell!"

"Remember this place? I killed Brenda here. Now, I'll kill Mia here. You'll regret it forever!" Amelia laughed maniacally.

She had nothing left to live for and wanted to destroy everything. Seeing Sadie helpless made her feel victorious.

Sadie snapped, "The one who should regret is you. Do you know how I found you?"

She pulled out her phone and played a saved audio clip.

Sadie's voice rang out. "Mr. Lingston, Amelia escaped and kidnapped my daughter. The police will find you soon and bugged your phone. When Amelia calls, stall her until they trace the call, then tell me." Nelson's voice came through. "Why should I help you?"

Sadie said, "The police can only reduce your sentence a bit. But I can get it down to a year and help you bounce back after."

Nelson questioned, "Really?"

Sadie replied, "The James family keeps its word. Check your secret account."

Nelson agreed, "I see it. Deal!"

Sadie mocked, "For your benefit, you even betray your daughter, Amelia."

Nelson snorted, "Just keep your promise."

Sadie said meaningfully, "When I find Amelia, you'll get your reward."
