Chapter 571 Amelia, It’s me
Soon, the sound of steady and powerful footsteps came from behind the closed door, step by step approaching the door before they came to a sudden halt..
Amelia thought that the other party would open the door at once, but she found that no further movements were observed and were about to raise her hand for another knock when the door swung open.
A hand with distinct protruding knuckles grabbed her wrist and pulled her in at light speed…
Neil standing outside the door had only seen a hand stretching out before Amelia disappeared with a whoosh.
Not only the iron rods he had brought along and the ruffians he hired were useless, but also Amelia ended up being held hostage as well…
He stood still, the corners of his mouth twitching, his face distorted in rage when a group of bodyguards rushed out from nowhere.
The leader pointed at him and yelled, “Send them to the police station and sue them for an intentional riot!”
When the group of gangsters heard that they were going to be sent to the police station, they screamed in fright, threw away

the iron rods, and fled in all directions!
Those iron rods struck Neil’s feet. Gritting his teeth in pain, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Before he could return to himself, the leading bodyguard crouched before him and gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.
“Please come with us…”
With that, Neil was carried into the exclusive elevator by four professional bodyguards, vertically entering the elevator and carried out horizontally.
Amelia’s face was pale with fright after she was dragged into the room, but when the man’s familiar scent drifted into her nostrils, she raised her head in bewilderment.
The lights were turned on and the curtains were drawn open. The rising sun shone in to cast its rays on the man’s face, reflecting his well-defined face.
He clasped her wrist with one hand, his arms around her waist with the other. With his thick eyelashes lowered, his unblinking eyes scanned her face.
When Amelia met those hawk eyes, the fear in her eyes turned into shock before they widened in disbelief.
“James, how could it be you…”

Halfway through her sentence, she heard whimpering behind him.
Amelia withdrew her gaze and looked past James, her eyes landing on the man kneeling on the ground.
He wore a bronze mask on his face with a dragon tattooed on his neck, so he was undoubtedly Mr. Shawn.
She froze on the spot and remained to stare at Mr. Shawn for quite a while before shifting her gaze back to James.
“What’s going on?” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Wasn’t it Mr. Shawn’s presidential suite? Why was James in the room? And Mr. Shawn subdued?
Without responding, James grabbed her hand and led her up to the man, condescendingly staring at the man kneeling on the ground.
“I heard you mention Mr. Shawn last night, so I ordered my men to investigate. Only then did I know that he had almost taken advantage of you in the parking lot of the hospital more than a month ago.”
So it seemed…
Amelia lifted her head to glance at the man beside her exuding murderous intent. “Thank you for your help in capturing Mr. Shawn…”

The man kneeling on the ground cried out hearing the words.
“I’m not Mr. Shawn. I was instructed to impersonate Mr. Shawn. That’s why I hid in the parking lot, waiting for you on the day of your hospital discharge. Miss, please tell this gentleman to let me go. It’s true that I’m not Mr. Shawn. Ah!”
Hearing those words, the doubts from within Amelia’s heart
rose once more…
She took a step forward, squatted in front of the man, then reached out to take off his mask.
It was a completely unfamiliar face, without sharp jawlines, and nor was there smooth skin. Instead, there were slightly noticeable flaws.
She had touched Mr. Shawn’s face previously and could tell that it was God-chiseled with immaculate skin, but the man kneeling in front of her had a comparingly rounder face…
Although she had never seen Mr. Shawn’s face, she could tell that the man before her eyes was not Mr. Shawn the moment his mask was removed…
If the man was a fake, where was the real Mr. Shawn then…
Just as Amelia turned to give James a confused look, he raised his hand and waved at the bodyguards.
“Drag him out and deal with him.”

Before the man kneeling on the ground had time to beg for mercy, he was gagged by the bodyguard and dragged out of the room with his limbs tied!
An instant silence lingered in the empty suite. Sunlight seeping in poured on the two, radiating with a faint golden light…
Amelia’s gaze was mixed with doubts as it fell on James’ clear skin. “Mr. Shawn who hurt me in the parking lot of the hospital more than a month ago is a fake, but the one who sent a text and demanded I come over is the true Mr. Shawn. May I ask if you know who he is?”
James raised his hands to cup her face, staring into her eyes as he solemnly replied, “Amelia, it’s me.”
