Bess Bennett suddenly felt a bit dazed.
How long until the remarriage?
They initially said they’d remarry after resolving Fiona Morgan’s order, but now they’re saying Amelia Wright has to return to Wright Corporation before they remarry, and after calculating the Allen family’s assets, will she still be able to wait?
Bess Bennett felt that it’s all because of Amelia Wright; she hated Amelia Wright to death.
She watched Amelia Wright descend the stairs step by step, elegantly, even more like a legitimate wealthy heiress than Ava.
In a moment of confusion, Bess Bennett seemed to see her, that woman who was adored by all stars in her youth, and the rage in her heart was instantly overturned.
She directly rushed towards Amelia Wright, raising her hand to strike.
Bess Bennett was always like this, moved to action with just a few provoking words.
The next moment, Bess Bennett was kicked to the ground, then her arms were grabbed and twisted behind her.
Just like that, she was forced to kneel before Amelia Wright.
Hailey Smith’s actions were swift; to him, the Wright family seemed like a dragon’s lair, a treacherous place he always guarded. To think of hitting the Young Madam in front of him was unthinkable.
Amelia Wright looked at Bess Bennett kneeling before her, as if suddenly recalling something, she said to the nearby maid, "Ms. Bennett just hit you, didn’t she? You’re here to work in this villa, not to be hit. No one should just lay hands on you."
Bess Bennett, forced to kneel, raised her head shamefully and angrily towards Amelia Wright.
Amelia Wright’s lips curled into a mocking smile, her tone icy as she said, "Now, hit back!"
The Wright family’s maids were all newly replaced by Amelia Wright.
To put it bluntly, even against Bess Bennett, or against Oliver Wright, if Amelia Wright ordered them to hit back, they’d dare to do it.
"Smack!"
The maid slapped Bess Bennett across the face.
Bess Bennett froze entirely.
A maid dared to hit her.
Bess Bennett went mad, struggling to hit back.
But Hailey Smith held her firmly, how could Bess Bennett break free?
Amidst the struggle, Bess Bennett heard Amelia Wright exclaim in surprise, "Has Mr. Wright returned? Just in time, Ms. Bennett wants to kick me out of the Wright family. May I ask if that’s your intention, Mr. Wright?"
Bess Bennett’s struggling paused.
Hailey Smith released Bess Bennett, stepping behind Amelia Wright.
Bess Bennett felt a bit flustered; Oliver Wright had warned her not to return to the Wright family, not to oppose Amelia Wright, but she hadn’t listened, couldn’t help but come back, and even caused a scene with Amelia Wright.
Bess Bennett hurriedly stood up and ran towards Oliver Wright.
Her face bore a slap mark, hair a mess, and she said aggrievedly, "Oliver, I just happened to come by, wanting to see how you’ve been lately? But Amelia Wright went too far, she even had people hit me."
Oliver Wright looked sullenly at Bess Bennett, then at Amelia Wright.
Amelia Wright said angrily, "Yes, I ordered the hit. Bess Bennett, you’ve bullied me for twenty years. Now that we’ve severed ties, don’t think you can bully me any longer. If need be, I’ll move back to the old district."
Oliver Wright’s face grew even darker.
Bess Bennett’s face held a hopeful expression: "Oliver, let her move out. Ava is proud and wouldn’t agree to someone else staying in her room."
In the dispute with Amelia Wright, Bess Bennett hoped Oliver Wright would stand by her side.
Amelia Wright coldly mocked in her heart; Bess Bennett was too naive. After living with Oliver Wright for decades, she still didn’t understand what kind of person Oliver Wright was.
Bess Bennett wanted to hold onto Oliver Wright’s arm.
The next moment.
"Smack." Oliver Wright slapped Bess Bennett across the face.
This time, Bess Bennett’s left and right cheeks were both slapped.
Oliver Wright said coldly, "Bess Bennett, we’re divorced. You’re an outsider, with no say in whether Amelia moves out!"
After much effort, Amelia Wright was willing to return to him, after much effort, he had put all the blame on Bess Bennett.
At this crucial time, Oliver Wright couldn’t allow Bess Bennett to ruin his good fortune.
Bess Bennett took a slap, and somehow this slap hurt more than any others she’d received.
She didn’t scream or shout this time; suddenly, Bess Bennett understood many things, her eyes reddened, filled with sorrow and pain.
She looked at Oliver Wright and said, "Oliver Wright, I’ve been with you for twenty years."
Oliver Wright remained indifferent.
Bess Bennett’s voice lowered, repeating, "I’ve been with you for twenty years!"
There was a flicker of emotion in Oliver Wright’s eyes, but it was not enough to defeat his desire for fame and fortune.
He pointed toward the door and said, "Get out, don’t come here to cause a scene again. If I see you bullying Amelia, I won’t let you off."
Amelia Wright quietly observed from the side. Abandoned by the one she cared about most, does it hurt? Is it sad?
Heh, quite amusing!
Bess Bennett seemed to instantly age a few years, leaving in a daze.
Oliver Wright looked at Amelia Wright.
Amelia Wright met his gaze without any hint of retreat.
After a brief pause, Oliver Wright finally said, "Settle down, no one can make you leave."
Amelia Wright smiled happily: "Hmm, alright!"
Oliver Wright didn’t dwell much on the household’s trivial issues, he called Ava Wright to have her comfort Bess Bennett.
At the moment, Ava Wright was in a cosmetic surgery hospital, having just undergone her third surgery, she couldn’t speak well, only promising to call back later, and then forgot all about it.
This wasn’t the first time she’d been forgotten, but this time Bess Bennett couldn’t bear it.
The thoughts in her mind grew increasingly extreme and frenzied.

Amelia Wright here, she wasn’t planning to soften and let go.
Bess Bennett was pitiful? The more pitiful, the more she wanted to provoke her from time to time.
But right now, there was an important matter she had to deal with.
The necklace Ava Wright wanted should be arriving soon.
She didn’t know what leverage Ava Wright used to threaten Godfery Shaw; actually, the necklace was just a token she didn’t care much for, but she couldn’t stand to see Ava Wright deceiving her family.
This life, she intended to just watch from afar, without approaching her family, never seeking recognition.
But now, she had to reach out actively.
She didn’t want to contact her parents at the Wright family; she made a trip back to the old district.
No one was home, Emily had gone to school, her brother must be busy too.
Amelia Wright locked the room door.
She sat quietly in the room for a long time, finally gritting her teeth to set up a tracking protection program on her phone, then dialed that number.
She could have chosen a more discreet way to contact them, but she was selfish once; even if she didn’t seek recognition, she wanted to hear her parents’ voices.
"Beep beep beep..."
The call was dialed, and the beeping continued.
Amelia Wright clutched the fabric around her chest tightly, breathing anxiously and rapidly.
The ringing sounded three times before the call was answered, a gentle and calm voice spoke, "Hello."
Mom.
Mom was truly a gentle person, never losing her temper in a lifetime.
Even upon learning her encounter while bedridden in her past life, hating Bess Bennett to death, she would only say, why treat my daughter this way, how could you be so cruel.
Amelia Wright’s throat suddenly choked, she opened her mouth but couldn’t speak.
Not hearing any sound, the person on the other end asked again, "Hello, who is this?"
Amelia Wright still didn’t speak, yet the person on the other end wasn’t angry, kindly continuing, "If you don’t speak, I’ll hang up, did you dial the wrong number?"
Seeing that the other party was really about to hang up, Amelia Wright finally spoke.
"I’m... Nancy."
