Chapter 582
“Dad, Mom, since I got this rare opportunity to spend time with the both of you, why not allow me to do
what I''m supposed to? I''ve already canceled all my meetings this afternoon. I made time just so I can
bring the two of you out. Would you two be so kind as to let me have this chance?” Oscar''s choice of
words was impable.
Dominic looked at Oscar, feeling a little fearful of thetter. Oscar''s aura was formidable, and as a lowly
citizen who worked his life away in a small town, Dominic felt a little frightened when he came face-to-
face with a big shot like Oscar. That was why he did not dare to treat Oscar like his son-inw as
Dominic felt he was unworthy.
“T-There''s no need,” Dominic stuttered.
“Dad, you and Mom came from so far to visit. I sincerely want to show you around and have some fun.
If you are to reject me, I''ll feel useless as your son-inw.” Oscar tried to make them pity him.
After a pause, he continued, “Oh, right. Dad, I heard that you guys areing. Hence, I went to check
the Winters residence yesterday. Only then, did I find out that Amelia''s brother has fallen sick. As your
son-inw, I had some people bring him over and arranged the best hospital and doctors for him. Don''t
worry, the doctors are specialists from overseas. I''m sure they''ll be able to cure him.”
Mnie, who had remained silent up until that point, suddenly pounced on Oscar as if a wolf protecting
its pup. She tugged on Oscar''s cor and thundered, “Why did you bring my son here? What intentions
are you harboring? Are you trying to kill him? I''m warning you! If anything happens to my son, I won''t
let you off!”
Oscar did not dodge either and allowed her to hit him.
Seeing how the situation was getting out of hand, Amelia frantically stepped forward and stretched her
hand out in an attempt to stop Mnie''s rampage. Unexpectedly, Mnie''s eyes reddened in rage, and
in the heat of the moment, shended a heavy p on Amelia''s face. The crisp sound of the p
echoed throughout the private room, shocking everyone present.
Mnie stared at her hand nkly. Her palm was still red from pping Amelia across the face. As for
Oscar, his gaze darkened and became terrifying.
He quickly turned Amelia around to face him, noticing her cheek was still red and swollen from the hit.
Oscar did not utter a word, but his silence was akin to the calm before the storm.
However, Amelia shed him a smile and reassured him, “Oscar, I''m fine. You don''t have to worry
about me. It''s just a little sore.”
Truth be told, Amelia did not feel too bad about it. What Mnie did merely took away thest bit of
affection she had for the Winters family.
If she was a bit more merciless, Amelia could have used thousands of methods to ruin the lives of the
Winters. s, they did raise her into adulthood, so no matter how cruel she could be, Amelia could
never make Dominic and Mnie her enemy.
Mnie''s lips twitched as she stared at Amelia. After a moment of silence, she finally stuttered, “A-
Amelia, I-I''m sorry. It wasn''t on purpose. I was just worried about your brother.”
The corner of Amelia''s lips curved upward, revealing a smile.
“Mom, Oscar was just being nice. If you and Dad don''t appreciate it, then it''s fine. I''ll have someone
send Spencer back, and as for the two of you, Oscar and I will be happy to pay for your expenses if
you wish to spend a few more days here visiting and traveling around. If you wish to go home, we''ll
also be happy to purchase the tickets for you. Regarding the Hutton family, I suppose that''s between
me and them. It''s not your ce to tell me what to do. You haven''t cared for the past twenty-plus years,
so this time, I plead that you won''t meddle in our matter. Please just forget that you have a daughter.
Should our paths ever cross in the future, let''s just treat each other as strangers. It''ll make things easier
for you,” said Amelia in a calm tone.
Mnie merely looked at her while Dominic parted his lips as if he wanted to say something. However,
because of Oscar''s presence, he did not manage to utter a single word in the end.
Amelia then continued, “I''ll have someone send you guys back to the hotel then.”
After that, she looked over at Oscar. He understood what she wanted and had the bodyguardse in.
“Escort the couple back to the hotel. I don''t want anything to happen to them. Are we clear?” instructed
Oscar.
“Understood, Boss.”
Two of the bodyguards stepped forward and said politely, “Right this way.”
Dominic and Mnie were feeling fearful. After all, they came from a small town and had never
witnessed such a scene before.
As they walked past Amelia, Mnie could not hold back and grabbed onto Amelia''s hands, pleading,
“Please, Amelia. Save your brother. He''s all that I have. He has a wife and children to care for. As long
as you stop bothering the Hutton family, Mr. Hutton will definitely agree to your brother''s treatment.
Amelia, I''m begging you. Your mother is begging you.”
Tears had zed Amelia''s eyes as she looked at the elderly woman.
The bodyguards forcefully pried Mnie''s hands off of Amelia''s and maintained a courteous tone as
they instructed, “Mrs. Winter, right this way, please.”
After the Winters left, Amelia raised her hand and wiped the tears that were brimming in her eyes. She
forced a smile at Oscar and said, “I''m sorry, Oscar. You had to endure my mom''s beating because of
me, and you even saw such a pathetic side of me.”
Oscar wrapped his arms around the woman, enveloping her in a warm embrace, and nted a gentle
kiss on her hair. It hurt him to see what Amelia was going through.
“Silly girl. I''ve seen all the sides of you, whether good or bad, so don''t be afraid to show me your bad
sides. I''ll love you regardless of which side you''re showing me.”
Oscar''s words sounded like an honest confession. Amelia could no longer suppress her emotions and
burst into tears.
“I thought that after ten years of not seeing me, they would at least care about me, even if it''s just a
little. I didn''t expect them to still be so cold to me. It seems like I''m just an extra in their eyes.”
Saddened by her parents'' treatment of her, Amelia vented all of her pent-up frustrations.
Oscar lifted his hand and gently ran his fingers through her hair. Heforted her softly, “Don''t worry.
You still have me and Tony.”
Amelia smiled upon hearing that, but tears continued to stream down her cheeks as she remained
overwhelmed with emotions.
After tearing up for a while and releasing all of her emotions, she slowly calmed down and regained her
composure.
“I''m sorry. This is embarrassing.” Amelia came out of his hug and apologized.
Oscar merely patted her head and said, “Just head back to work. I''ll go check on them. I know you''re
still worried for them.”
Amelia''s lips twitched. She wanted to tell him not to go, but just like what Oscar said, she was still
worried for her parents deep down inside.
Amelia said, time after time, that she did not care for her rtionship with the Winters family. However,
deep inside her heart, she still cared for Dominic and Mnie, for she had longed for their affection for
over two decades. No matter how disappointed she was, Amelia still could not truly let go of them even
if she tried.

“Thank you, Oscar, and I''m sorry for dragging you into this mess,” Amelia apologized once more.
“Silly girl. Say you''re sorry again and I might have to punish you.”
Amelia chuckled after hearing that.
After that, Oscar sent her back to her office and did not forget to remind her, “Don''t think about it too
much. I''ll take care of everything.”
Amelia nodded. “I trust you, Oscar. Try not to scare them too much.”
“They''re your parents, so I''ll treat them as if they''re my parents too.” That is if they treat you like their
daughter. Of course, he did not say thest sentence out loud.
The two of them conversed for a little while more. Oscar watched as Amelia safely entered the building
before returning to his own car.
He then fished his phone out and dialed a number. As soon as the call was connected, Oscar
instructed, “Jolin, look after Mrs. Clinton. Don''t let those who are harboring ulterior motives get close to
her. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Boss.”
After hanging up, Oscar went straight to the hotel where Amelia''s parents were staying at.
He took the elevator upstairs and was greeted by the two bodyguards as soon as he stepped out of it.
“Boss.”
“Are they both inside?” asked Oscar.
“Yes, Boss.”
One of the bodyguards opened the door for him, and Oscar made his way into the room. Dominic and
Mnie were shocked and quickly stood up from the sofa. They looked at Oscar with terrified eyes.
“Dad, Mom.” Oscar politely greeted them, but his tone sounded distant.
Mnie looked at him with fear in her eyes. Her voice trembled as she queried, “W-What are you doing
here, Oscar?”
“Amelia is worried about you two, and that''s why I''m here to check on you. Spencer''s flight departed at
one, so he should be here by three o''clock. I''ll send you two to the airport, and the three of you will be
reunited then. Dad, Mom, I suppose you''ll be quite satisfied with this arrangement of mine,” Oscar said
without giving them a chance to refuse.
Ferocity shed across Mnie''s eyes in an instant, and she roared, “Oscar Clinton. What exactly is
your motive? If you dare toy a finger on my son, I promise I''ll never let you off the hook.”
Oscarughed in response. “Mom, Spencer has fallen sick, and I''m just doing my responsibility as your
son-inw by arranging the best hospital and doctors for his treatment. I don''t think I''m doing anything
wrong, wouldn''t you agree?”
“We''ve never treated Amelia right, nor have we fulfilled our duties as her parents. I doubt she has never
hated us. Even we find it hard to repay those who had wronged us with kindness, let alone Amelia.
Hence, we don''t believe she''ll willingly help her brother out of the goodness of her heart,” Mnie
uttered. Her tone wasced with wariness.
Upon hearing that, Oscar scoffed lightly.
