Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 879 Facing Reality
Amelia now had nothing left except for the two bodyguards, but they were mediocre in ability and couldn't possibly defeat Nick's men.
Watching as their car was pushed towards the edge of the overpass by the black modified cars, Amelia despairingly shouted, "Nick, you bastard. How vicious can you be!"
At this critical moment, an SUV suddenly sped up from the front, knocking aside one of the black modified cars. That car spun on the spot, nearly falling off the bridge, but luckily escaped disaster and fled in a panic. Amelia clutched the handrail with both hands, gasping for breath with tension, her face pale with fright, her heart nearly bursting out of her chest.
The two bodyguards were also shaken, quite frightened.
Then, someone approached and knocked on the car window.
Amelia took a look and hastily opened the door. "Rylan, it's you!"
"Ms. Amelia Lingston, Micah sent me to rescue you," Rylan said calmly. "Let me tell you, Micah already knows it was Nick who orchestrated your attempt to assassinate Sadie in H country two years ago. Now, we need you to testify and provide evidence. If you're willing, come with me. If not, pretend I didn't say anything."
Amelia understood. She knew what it meant to be a witness. She had to help Micah expose Nick. Thus, the crimes she committed years ago would not escape legal consequences.
In other words, she would spend the latter half of her life in prison. She didn't want to go to jail! However, if she didn't become a witness and cooperate with Micah, she would soon be dead.
"Promise him, Ms. Amelia Lingston," the bodyguard urged anxiously. "As long as you're alive, you can start anew. If you die now, there will be no chance left."
"Country H doesn't have the death penalty. At most, you'll spend a few years in prison for your past crimes and then come out. By then, we'll figure out a way to reduce your sentence. It's better than being killed now," the other bodyguard added.
"You're right." Amelia couldn't think too much at this moment. Right now, she could only focus on staying alive. "Okay, I agree."
"That's the spirit." Rylan gestured. He immediately took Amelia and her two bodyguards into their car.
Once in the car, Amelia suddenly thought of an important question and asked, "Micah never intended to marry Ella, right? He came to my house today just to let me see him."
"He also wanted to make things clear with Ella, to bring closure," Rylan added.
"I see." Amelia suddenly realized. "Micah did it on purpose. He deliberately leaked information on me, deliberately went to the Lingston family, deliberately let me see him, and made me think he was going to marry Ella. He knew I would act against Ella, and he knew Nelson would kick me out to protect Ella. This way, Nick's people would have a chance to attack me, and then you could step in to save me, and I would willingly become a witness."
"You're very clever." Rylan glanced at her through the rearview mirror.
"It's Micah who is clever." Amelia laughed self-deprecatingly. "He did nothing, yet he did everything."
"Micah just helped you see the truth." Rylan said calmly, "It's good for you."
"Yes, indeed. It's a good thing." Amelia smiled bitterly. "Without this act, I would have always thought Nelson loved me the most. I even thought that no matter what I did, I would still be the most respected Ms. Amelia Lingston in the family. Now I realize how naive I was. Nelson used to care for me because I could help him in business. Now, he's protecting Ella because Ella can help the Lingston family. In the face of interests, there is no familial love."
