Sadie''s lips parted, a raspy whisper escaping them, barely audible amidst the mor of the storm.


    "What?" Amelia crouched low, leaning in to discern the words.


    "You must live well," Sadie forced out the words, her voiceden with effort. "I shall return to exact my revenge, to make you pay an eye for an eye!"


    A peal ofughter erupted from Amelia, ringing out into the storm as if she''d just heard the most amusing jest. "Sadie, have you lost your mind? You stand on death''s doorstep, yet you speak of revenge? Do you n to haunt me as a vengeful spirit? How utterly hrious!"


    Herughter, arrogant and derisive, echoed in the wind and rain, filling the air with mockery.


    Eventually, theughter subsided, and Amelia, wielding the butt of her gun, struck Sadie''s face once more. "You foolish woman, it''s no wonder you''ve ended up like this!


    "If you truly be a vengeful spirit, do remember to seek me out!


    "Oh, and by the way, it''s not entirely my doing. I had initially nned to spare your life, to let younguish in sickness and torment. But the Clemens family couldn''t wait for your demise. I had no choice. "Take a look."


    Amelia gestured towards the dark-d bodyguards and the fleet of cruisers parked nearby. "All of these are the Clemens family''s assets, you know? Now, they can''t bear to let you live another minute. Your very existence is a threat, a disgrace to them!"


    "Don''t lie!" Sadie''s voice trembled with shock.


    "Think about it. They''ve erased all traces of you and found a perfect recement. How could they possibly let you continue to exist in this world?" Amelia sneered, "They will only find peace once you''re dead!" "I have no reason to lie to a dead woman!"


    At these words, Sadie''sst vestiges of hope crumbled. Her gaze hardened, her hands clenched into fists, sowing the seeds of hatred deep within her heart.


    "Goodbye, Sadie!" Amelia leveled the gun at Sadie, "Be smarter in your afterlife; don''t let men fool you again!"


    With that, she squeezed the trigger, preparing to fire...


    "Boom!"


    At that critical moment, a thunderous roar echoed through the sky.


    A gust of wind swept through, carrying everything in its path.


    Instinctively, Amelia shielded her eyes, looking up to see several helicopters converging from all directions, one hovering directly above her, stirring up a fierce wind that nearly knocked her off her feet. Amelia''s bodyguards rushed to her aid, attempting to escape to the car, but the gale-force wind toppled them before they could take more than a few steps.


    In a fit of rage, Amelia fired her gun wildly at the helicopter.


    With a resounding gunshot, a bullet struck Amelia''s wrist.


    Amelia screamed, writhing in agony on the ground.


    The bodyguards prepared to retaliate, but upon seeing the golden emblem on the helicopter, they froze in shock. "They''re from the James family!" "It''s Mr. L!"


    The helicopter''s cabin door swung open, and a group of ck-d figures descended from the sky, clinging to ropes.


    Simultaneously, a tall, lean silhouette leaped from the central helicopter,nding in front of Sadie with an air of authority.


    Sadiey in a pool of her own blood, her vision blurred as she gazed at the almost divine figure before her. He was young and aloof, his brows exuding an aura ofmand, surrounded by an enigmatic presence that seemed beyond reach. "You made the call, didn''t you?" the man''s voice was slow and deliberate.


    "Yes," Sadie managed to utter a single word, wanting to say more butcking the strength.


    The man crouched down, gently brushing away the bloody strands of hair on Sadie''s face. As he saw her face clearly, a smile appeared on his lips. "You''re my aunt''s daughter!"
