Chapter 158 - 148: Amelia Miles Comes to the Door
In the afternoon, Kevin Clark left, and when Daisy Zane returned to the hotel in the evening, she encountered a little trouble.
It was past three in the morning when Daisy Zane and Anisa Cooper got out of the car in the parking lot. They hadn’t walked far when they heard the sound of a car door opening and closing in front of them.
After a few footsteps, Amelia Miles appeared in front of them.
Daisy Zane had been filming all day and didn’t want to say a word now. She glanced at Amelia and tried to walk around her with Anisa.
But Amelia Miles stepped forward to block them.
“What? Are you blind? Can’t see people?” Amelia Miles completely dropped her usual pretense of being well-behaved, “Or do you think you’ve done something remarkable and no longer need to respect others?”
“Get out of the way.” Daisy Zane said, looking at Amelia’s hand.
“What if I don’t?”
Daisy Zane looked up at her.
As their gazes met, Amelia Miles fell silent for a while before laughing, “Daisy
Zane, do you think you can enter the Miles family just because your
connections are strong enough to impress my father and grandfather? Do you
think once you become part of the Miles family, you’ll be considered one of the
young ladies of our family?”
Amelia Miles suddenly laughed and approached Daisy Zane, saying word by word, “Your mother was a third party who broke up someone else’s family, and you’re the daughter of a mistress. Even if you return to the Miles family, you’ll always be an illegitimate child. Your mother will always be a mistress, and you’ll always be an illegitimate child!”
“No matter how big your connections become, no matter how high you stand or how famous you get, you’ll always be seen as inferior to others and looked down upon!” Amelia Miles grew more excited as she spoke, “The more famous you become, the more people will know that your mother was a mistress.
Because of you! Even in death, she will be insulted by thousands!”
“Did you have your meal in the bathroom tonight? Your mouth is so filthy!” Anisa suddenly said, “Only someone as dirty as you could have such disgusting thoughts.”
“What are you, and who gave you the right to speak?” Amelia Miles looked at
Anisa, “You’re nothing more than a dog Daisy Zane keeps, go away.”
“What are you?” Anisa said, wanting to step forward, but Daisy Zane held her back.
Daisy Zane handed the clothes in her hand to Anisa, and calmly began to adjust her sleeves.
Amelia Miles poked Daisy Zane’s shoulder again, sneering, “Daisy Zane, can you sleep at night? You sent Olivia Chester and Clarissa Mason to prison, and now my cousin is lying in the hospital, waiting for his sentence to be announced. Doesn’t your conscience feel uneasy? Aren’t you afraid of retribution for all the evil things you’ve done?”
It was as if Daisy Zane hadn’t heard her words. She glanced at the red Ferrari nearby and asked coldly, “Your car?”
“Yeah, what…ugh.”
Daisy Zane reached out, gripping Amelia’s throat, and in one movement, slammed her onto the hood of the car.
With a muffled thud, Anisa watched as the hood dented inward.
Amelia Miles immediately struggled, trying to pry Daisy Zane’s hand from her neck, and gasped, “You, let go, I … are you crazy?
Daisy Zane put more pressure on her hand, causing Amelia to lean back, gasping for air.
“Don’t you know how Olivia Chester and Clarissa Mason ended up in jail?” Daisy Zane wore a mask and spoke softly, “Aren’t you clear about how your cousin ended up in the hospital? You had the hacker tell Benjamin Hobson I was in Imperial Capital; what were you trying to have him do? It was also your idea when he followed me around in Truro City.”
Amelia Miles stared, wide-eyed and disbelieving, at Daisy Zane.
“Did you think no one would know about the things you’ve done? Did you think that the hacker you found is invincible?” Daisy Zane whispered, “You’re too naive. Let me tell you, all your actions are transparent in my eyes.”
“You…”
Daisy Zane tightened her grip, cutting off Amelia Miles’s words.
“Illegitimate daughters shouldn’t be on stage; they should be despised, right?” Daisy Zane’s eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, “Alright, remember those words clearly. The clearer, the better.”
Amelia Miles’s face turned red, and she stopped breathing completely.
Seeing this, Anisa panicked and hurriedly grabbed Daisy Zane’s clothes: “Daisy, she… she seems to be losing it.”
But Daisy Zane still didn’t let go, even putting more pressure. Amelia Miles rolled her eyes.
“Let me tell you, I have no interest in joining your Miles family.” Daisy Zane said, “But you have to pay for what you owe. Johanes Miles has children and a wife but doesn’t take care of them or provide for them. And he still thinks he doesn’t have to pay a penny? What a beautiful fantasy.”
“Daisy, please let go, let go.” Anisa was almost in tears.
Amelia Miles was on the verge of passing out, and only then did Daisy Zane let go of her hand.
Amelia slipped straight off the car and fell, sitting on the ground.
At first, she didn’t respond, but gradually started coughing.
Daisy Zane, pinching her fingers, looked down at her own hand and said, “If you don’t want to die, don’t show up in front of me again.”
After saying that, Daisy Zane left with Anisa Cooper.
Anisa kept looking back at Amelia, fearing she might die soon. There were so many surveillance cameras in the parking lot. If a corpse were to lie there, Daisy Zane would surely be charged.
“It’s fine, she won’t die,” Daisy Zane said while sending a message to Holt Lawrence on her cell phone.
[Ferdason Hotel, just now the Fl parking lot surveillance has been blacked out. Also, check all of Amelia Miles’ electronic devices to see if there’s any video recording.]
Around 3 am, Holt Lawrence was still awake, and soon replied to the message: [As a young lady, can you not always get into fights? It’s easy to scare off a boyfriend like this.]
Daisy Zane: [As a nearly forty-year-old man, don’t stay up late. Mind your own business instead of focusing on us twenty-something-year-old ladies.]
Holt Lawrence: [Who knows if you’re really in your twenties, you might be older than me!]
This message was quickly retracted, but Daisy Zane still saw it.
She smiled, put her phone back in her pocket, and entered the elevator with Anisa Cooper.
Amelia Miles sat on the ground for about ten minutes before finally feeling alive again. It felt as if her throat had been cut open, and she didn’t dare swallow.
There were red, swollen fingerprints on her neck, and her hoarse voice
sounded like sandpaper: “Crazy, she’s really crazy, she dares to kill.”
As she muttered to herself, she made a phone call.
Following the arrest of the previous hacker, Amelia Miles quickly found a new one.
“Ferdason Hotel Fl parking lot surveillance.”
“Okay,” the other party said, “Give me a moment.”
Amelia didn’t hang up the phone and kept waiting, but a minute, two minutes went by, and there was still no reply from the other party.
“Isn’t it done yet?” she asked hoarsely, like a rooster, “Does it take this long to check the surveillance?”
“Parking lot surveillance has been hacked.”
“What?” Amelia Miles asked, “Can’t you recover it?”
“Their technology is too advanced,” the person on the other end of the phone said, “There’s no way to recover it.”
“Useless!” Amelia cursed, ending the call and throwing her phone away, “They’re all useless!”
The “Fall of the Quince” was a hit, generating a lot of buzz every day, not only on Facebook but also on various short video platforms with clips from the show.
Amelia Miles took advantage of the show’s popularity and bought a hot search claiming Daisy Zane was an illegitimate daughter.
Paid trolls led the charge, turning one hot search term’s thread into a cesspool of slander, abuse, and humiliation.
Daisy Zane remained silent and didn’t have Hill Dawson intervene.
Harton Clark’s side also tacitly agreed not to let anyone handle it.
The first to handle the matter were the Miles Family.
They paid a large sum to have the hot search removed and to control the comments.
After everything was settled, Johanes Miles sent a message to Daisy Zane: [Lucia, I’ve taken care of the online situation. Focus on filming, and don’t worry about it..]
