Whether by coincidence or by design, attending a birthday banquet with a thirty thousand compensation, Amelia Clarke had no more reason to refuse.
She needed the money.
After leaving the Hamiltons' villa, Owen Moreland's Black Phantom was discreetly parked under a streetlamp across the street.
Mrs. Hamilton glanced at the car, and with a smile in her eyes, turned to Amelia Clarke and said, "It seems that this time my investment will have a great return."
Amelia Clarke didn't respond.
Owen had no familial ties to her; no matter the reason, the fact that he went out of his way to help her was undeniable, and yet, she was thinking of using that bit of care he had for her to make money.
Seeing the concern in Amelia Clarke's eyes, Mrs. Hamilton spoke reassuringly, "Don't feel guilty, in today's society, relationships are also a resource, and resources are meant to be utilized."
Are relationships really meant to be utilized?
The Black Phantom wove through the Capital City's night.
