**Chapter 387: The Unexpected Fangirl**

Gianna quickly offered an apology, her expression a blend of sweetness and guilt, as if she genuinely regretted her earlier words.

Yet beneath her contrite facade, a torrent of curses flowed towards Miguel for being an unexpected thorn in her side.

She had never anticipated that he would suddenly display some semblance of intelligence and begin to grasp the underlying motives behind her actions.

Miguel, however, was captivated by the sincerity radiating from Gianna. The doubts that had once clouded his mind began to dissipate like morning fog under the sun’s warm embrace.

He found himself thinking, *I should have had more faith in Gianna. She didn’t grow up among us; naturally, she wouldn’t know every intricate detail of our past.*

Brielle, despite her proud and spoiled demeanor, was far from foolish.

Seizing on Miguel’s uncertainty, she wasted no time in reiterating it to Whitney.

“In the end,” she said with a hint of mischief in her voice, “who really knows if Amelia was genuinely missing or if she simply ran away? After all, she left home when she was still just a teenager.”

In the upper echelons of society, the disappearance of an heiress for years on end was a scandalous affair.

Speculations ran rampant about her whereabouts and the life she might have led during her absence.

People preferred to label her as ‘missing’—it sounded far more palatable than the truth. But what if she had merely escaped to join a dubious crowd?

What if she had indulged in relationships with numerous men, shattering the image of the innocent heiress everyone believed her to be?

Brielle delivered her words with a mocking expression, dripping with disdain. Gianna, however, felt a thrill of excitement coursing through her veins.

Finally, this arrogant girl, who believed the universe revolved around her, had done something of value!

“Yes, keep it coming,” Gianna thought, relishing the moment. “Make Whitney despise Amelia even more.”

If that happened, Amelia’s chances of marrying into the Curran family would dwindle significantly.

Gianna turned her gaze towards Whitney, eager to gauge her reaction. She noticed the tightness in Whitney’s brows, the unmistakable signs of displeasure etched on her face.

Both Gianna and Brielle leaned in, anticipation buzzing in the air, while even Sabrina couldn’t resist the urge to see how Whitney would respond.

Jeremy, who had been observing this dramatic exchange unfold like a well-scripted play, understood the motives behind their words all too well.

He was determined to ensure that his mother didn’t misinterpret the situation or shift blame onto Amelia. He felt ready to step in and defend her honor.

But before he could voice his thoughts, Whitney beat him to it.

“Amelia… You’re Amelia, right?”

She strode purposefully towards her, positioning herself directly in front of her.

Her voice was sharp, and her lace-clad demeanor exuded a sternness that suggested she was about to deliver a reprimand.

Gianna’s heart raced with excitement. *Yes, finally! This woman is going to put Amelia in her place!*

She could already envision Amelia’s face turning crimson as she faced the crowd, seeing how her pride would falter under scrutiny, especially after flaunting Jeremy’s attention.

“Yes, I am,” Amelia replied with a calm demeanor, her voice steady and unwavering. Despite being thrust into the center of this unfolding drama, she appeared unfazed.

She had observed the entire scene, just like everyone else, even though she had unwittingly become one of the focal points.

Yet, deep down, she felt no guilt. Even if Whitney intended to lecture her, she knew it wouldn’t alter the reality of the situation.

While she respected Jeremy’s mother, that didn’t mean she would passively accept blame for something she hadn’t done.

If Whitney was being unjust or taking sides to shield Gianna and Sabrina, Amelia was not the type to cower and accept scolding without resistance.

In that moment, both Amelia and Gianna anticipated that Whitney was gearing up for a grand speech, ready to unleash her criticisms.

But then, to everyone’s astonishment…

“Wait, you’re Amelia? The one from that movie?”

“I’m a huge fan of yours!” Whitney exclaimed, her demeanor shifting dramatically.

“Oh my goodness, you look even more stunning in person than you do on screen!”

Her eyes sparkled with delight, and she grasped Amelia’s hands with both of hers, radiating enthusiasm.

The film she was referring to was the one where Amelia and Jeremy had co-starred, playing lead and second female lead, respectively.

It had become a massive hit, astonishingly, the supporting roles had eclipsed even the main characters in popularity.

It was the kind of film that captured the hearts of everyone—children, teenagers, adults, and even seniors alike.

Amelia stood frozen, her mind racing to comprehend this sudden shift in Whitney’s attitude.

Just moments ago, she had been bracing herself for a confrontation. If Whitney aligned with the Jordan sisters and began to chastise her, Amelia had already formulated her defense.

After all, her relationship with Jeremy had blossomed significantly; he had spent the entire evening defending her against anyone who dared to challenge her.

She couldn’t allow herself to embarrass him in front of his mother.

But this reaction? This was utterly unexpected.

“Thank you,” Amelia managed to say, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she struggled to find the right words in the face of this surprising turn of events.

As the tension in the room shifted dramatically, both Gianna and Amelia found themselves at a crossroads, their emotional arcs intertwining in a way neither had anticipated. Gianna, who had reveled in the idea of undermining Amelia, now faced the unexpected reality of a newfound admiration directed at her rival. The thrill she had anticipated turned to a mix of confusion and jealousy as she watched Whitney’s adoration unfold. Meanwhile, Amelia stood at the center of this whirlwind, her previous apprehension melting away in the glow of Whitney’s unexpected fangirl moment. It was a reminder that despite the shadows of doubt and rivalry, there were still moments of genuine connection that could redefine their relationships.

In this unexpected twist, both women were forced to confront their perceptions of each other. For Gianna, the realization that her attempts to belittle Amelia had backfired ignited a flicker of introspection, challenging her to reconsider her motivations. For Amelia, the affirmation from Whitney not only validated her choices but also fortified her resolve to stand firm against any criticisms that might come her way. As the scene unfolded, it became clear that destiny had a way of breaking down barriers, allowing for growth and understanding in the most surprising of circumstances. The night, once fraught with tension, now shimmered with the potential for new beginnings, leaving both women to ponder the complexities of admiration, rivalry, and the unpredictable nature of fate.

In the upcoming chapter, readers can expect the tension to escalate as Amelia navigates the unexpected adoration from Whitney, which could drastically alter the dynamics between the characters. Will this newfound admiration shield Amelia from the barbs of her rivals, or will it complicate her relationship with Jeremy?
