Chapter 41 Long Time No See

"Oh my God! What is he doing?" the girl behind asked anxiously. Her screaming only affirmed Amelia's suspicions.

The atmosphere was thick with tension. Edmund had dropped a bomb. Needless to say, Amelia was utterly shocked out of her wits. As she directed her gaze to the stage, her mind went to what had just happened earlier...

On the stage, Nicholas and Lucian were visibly shocked. They looked at Edmund in surprise.

"Nicholas, Lucian, I decided this without consulting either of you. No need to blame me. This had to happen sooner or later." Edmund gave an apologetic look to Lucian and then said to all the guests, "Have a good night!"

After a warm round of applause from the audience, the waiter asked Amelia to head to the dining room upstairs.

After hesitating for a while, Amelia smiled bashfully as she let herself be led by the waiter upstairs.

The waiter began serving food much to Amelia's disinterest as Edmund's words were still ringing in her head.

When she first met with Lucian's parents, she had found out that Lucian and Shelly were engaged. At that time, she didn't think much of it.

She felt as if she had destroyed an engagement when she found out about this.

"Hello, are you Miss Amelia?" All of a sudden, a man in a black suit stood in front of her and asked her politely.

Quickly gathering herself, she nodded and said,

's go. I'll help you look for him." Jonny stood up and put his coat over Amelia's shoulder. He said thoughtfully, "It must suck for you girls to attend parties like this. It gets cold so just wear it."

"Jonny, I thought you didn't want him to know about you? If you come with me, he'll definitely ask about you," Amelia said.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you and make sure that Lucian doesn't misunderstand anything," Jonny replied, grinning.

In reality, she didn't really mean it that way. She just figured she could go downstairs by herself to look for Lucian.

When they left the private room, Jonny led Amelia to another private room which was more crowded than the one they had just been in.

Inside the room, Nicholas was giving a toast to Edmund while Fannie chatted with Shelly. Shelly's mother was sitting by the side looking rather uncomfortable.

More importantly, Lucian was nowhere to be found.

"Oh, I thought it's someone else," Fannie snorted as she cast an evil glance toward Amelia upon the latter entering the room.

Amelia was used to it. With an awkward smile on her face, she bowed to everyone and apologized, "Sorry to interrupt you. I'm leaving now."

The moment Amelia came in, Shelly was immediately seething.

It seemed that she didn't want to say anything bad in front of Edmund and Nicholas so she just merely glared at Amelia.
