“If you delve too deeply into her life, you might just invite trouble upon yourself,” he warned, his voice laced with a hint of foreboding.

Amelia, taken aback, shot back, “So you’re not as clueless as you pretend to be. Why then do you always play the role of a carefree playboy, seemingly only interested in beautiful faces?”

In that moment, Amelia felt a shift within herself, a realization dawning that Raymond was far from the facade he had carefully crafted.

He was nothing like the man she had meticulously researched, a revelation that sent her thoughts spiraling. Memories of his interactions with Gianna flooded her mind, and she found herself compelled to confront him. “You’ve known all along that Gianna isn’t your biological daughter, haven’t you?”

“Of course, she could never be mine,” Raymond replied, his tone unwavering, as if the truth was a weight he had long accepted.

His swift response left Amelia reeling, her mind racing. Raymond was not the simpleton she had imagined.

He possessed a resilience that was remarkable, coupled with a talent for deception that surpassed her expectations.

“You truly had me fooled,” she admitted, her voice tinged with a mix of admiration and frustration. “I bought into your charade completely.”

For so long, Amelia had viewed Raymond as a lackluster leader, a man who flirted indiscriminately and one who could be easily manipulated.

Now, however, the layers of his persona began to peel away, revealing a man who was far more astute—and far more discreet—than the trio of fools she had come to know: Marcelo, Miguel, and Maxwell.

“Just act as if you’re unaware of all this,” Raymond cautioned, his expression suddenly serious. “If the truth spreads, it will only bring harm to our family.”

“And for heaven’s sake, don’t mention it to your brothers or your mother. They wouldn’t be able to keep a secret even if their lives depended on it.”

In that moment, Raymond couldn’t help but feel a flicker of respect for Amelia. Out of all the children, she was undoubtedly the sharpest.

Despite having invested so much in Marcelo, grooming him as his successor, he now recognized that Marcelo was nowhere near Amelia’s intellectual caliber.

Recently, he had noticed a slight change in Marcelo’s behavior. At least he had stopped obsessively pursuing Gianna, their adopted daughter, day in and day out.

Perhaps after facing some of his own disappointments, he was finally beginning to see Gianna for who she truly was.

Yet, even with this small progress, Marcelo still fell short of Amelia’s brilliance. Not even in the same league.

Amelia pressed her lips into a thin line, choosing silence.

She couldn’t fathom why Raymond had chosen to confide in her rather than anyone else in the Nygard family.

If he believed this revelation would mend their fractured relationship, he was sorely mistaken.

Her expectations for the Nygards had dwindled to nothing.

Even with the knowledge that he was not the buffoon he portrayed, she felt an unyielding emptiness inside.

Their conversation reached an abrupt halt, and as they parted ways, the world around them remained unchanged.

Everything continued as it had before, unaffected by their exchange.

However, one truth crystallized in Amelia’s mind—Regina was far more complex than she had initially presumed.

She had long harbored doubts about the narrative that Gianna was Raymond’s secret child; it had never felt quite right to her.

Now, she understood that the reality was far more intricate than she had ever anticipated.

Amelia was convinced that Raymond was speaking the truth. He had no motive to fabricate such a story.

But it was clear that Gianna was blissfully unaware of the actual circumstances. Her words and actions betrayed her belief that she was indeed Raymond’s legitimate daughter.

This meant that Regina had deliberately withheld the truth from Gianna, intending to use her as a pawn to manipulate the Nygards.

“What a tangled web we weave,” Amelia muttered, a cold laugh escaping her lips.

She quickly typed a message to Tyler, instructing her to keep a close watch on Regina.

If the opportunity arose, Amelia would not hesitate to unveil the truth about Regina and Raymond’s past to Emery. Otherwise, they would miss out on a spectacular revelation.

Having recently wrapped up a reality show, Amelia had decided to take a break from new projects, channeling all her focus onto Regina and Gianna.

She even ignored Jeremy’s persistent attempts to meet her, prioritizing her investigation over personal distractions.

One fateful morning, Amelia was jolted awake by the relentless ringing of her phone. These days, she rarely woke up on her own, and the incessant noise grated on her nerves.

She groggily reached for her phone, squinting at the screen to see Josie’s name flashing brightly.

“Josie? What’s going on? Why are you calling me at this hour? Did something happen?”

Amelia and Josie had grown up side by side, sharing secrets and dreams; they knew each other better than anyone else could.

Josie would never disturb her at such an early hour unless it was of utmost importance.

“It’s serious! Like, super serious!”

Amelia’s heart raced, a knot forming in her stomach at the thought that something terrible had occurred at the company.

But before she could voice her concerns, Josie’s voice burst forth, trembling with excitement. “Amelia, you need to get online right now! Mr. Curran has just made a statement himself—he announced that his engagement to Sabrina was arranged by his family, and he never consented to it!”

In the wake of her confrontation with Raymond, Amelia found herself standing at a crossroads, the weight of the revelations pressing heavily on her heart. The man she had once dismissed as a mere playboy had transformed into a figure of complexity and depth, shattering her preconceived notions. Yet, the emotional turmoil within her remained unresolved; while she respected his intelligence and resilience, the chasm between them felt insurmountable. The truth about Gianna’s parentage and Regina’s manipulations added layers of betrayal to an already tangled web, leaving Amelia grappling with the harsh reality that her family was built on secrets and lies. The emptiness she felt was not just for the deception but for the fractured relationships that now defined her existence within the Nygard family.

As the morning unfolded with Josie’s urgent call, Amelia sensed a shift in her purpose. The chaos surrounding her personal life was no longer a distraction but a catalyst for action. With the truth about Regina looming on the horizon, Amelia’s resolve hardened. She could no longer afford the luxury of inaction; the stakes were too high, and the potential for revelation too great. The excitement in Josie’s voice ignited a spark within her, urging her to seize control of her narrative. No longer would she be a passive observer in the lives of those around her; Amelia was ready to confront the complexities of her family’s legacy and carve out a path that was distinctly her own. The journey ahead promised to be fraught with challenges, but for the first time in a long while, Amelia felt a flicker of hope igniting her spirit.

In the upcoming chapter of *Broken by Destiny*, readers can expect the tension to escalate as Amelia grapples with the shocking revelation about Gianna’s true parentage and the web of deceit surrounding the Nygard family. With Raymond’s unexpected candor lingering in her mind, Amelia is poised to dig deeper into the complex dynamics at play, particularly concerning Regina’s manipulative tactics. As she embarks on this investigative journey, her determination to uncover the truth will not only challenge her relationships with the Nygard family but also test her own moral compass. Will she prioritize her loyalty to her friends or her quest for justice?

Moreover, the unexpected news from Josie about Mr. Curran’s engagement adds another layer of intrigue to the narrative. This revelation could potentially shift the power dynamics within the Nygard family and the business world they inhabit. Amelia’s response to this new development will be crucial, as it could either propel her into a position of influence or further entangle her in the Nygard’s chaotic legacy. As alliances shift and secrets unfold, the stakes are higher than ever. Readers will be left on the edge of their seats, eager to see how Amelia navigates this treacherous landscape and whether she can emerge unscathed while seeking the truth.
