"I've already divorced Lucian, Jonny." Her face was expressionless but she could feel her heart beat pulsing in her ears. She felt as if everything inside her was aching.
"I heard. That's why I was so worried about you." Jonny's face darkened, a shadow of regret visible. "I don't believe you're anything like what they say you are. You probably have a lot of unspoken feelings."
"Jonny, I hope Lucian chooses to accept the help from the An Group." Jonny had always been there for Amelia and she was willing to open up to him and tell him the truth. However, this was different. Only Lucian could take away her pain.
"Amelia, I feel ashamed but my father and I haven't been on good terms for years. He refuses to take my advice and insists on doing things his own way. He favors Shelly now and Shelly wants to marry Lucian. That's why he offered to help Zhan Group in the first place. So he could get Lucian to marry Shelly." Jonny looked deeply regretful. "But as far as I know, Lucian won't be threatened by my father."
It seemed that they were all saying the same thing—that Lucian wasn't going to be threatened by anyone. However, this didn't really help with Amelia's unease. She said, "Jonny, last night, I met this stranger–a man. He offered me help but..."
Amelia couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence.
"A stranger?" Jonny repeated. He then asked in concern, "Did you get hurt?"
Amelia shook her head and replied hone
were finally on their own, with no cameras and reporters. She looked up at Jonny and said, "I'm so sorry for all this, Jonny."
Jonny shook his head and said, "Don't be so formal with me. It's all my fault that I have no say when it comes to my father. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken so much work."
Amelia definitely felt the tension between Jonny and his father at the dinner party last time.
"Jonny An!" Just then, a cold voice came from not far away.
Both Amelia and Jonny turned their heads. They were surprised to find Lucian who was walking towards them. He then grabbed Jonny by the collar and bellowed, "You fucking bastard!"
Lucian then raised his fist and landed a punch across Jonny's face.
"Lucian!" Amelia cried in fright when she saw that Lucian was about to raise his fist again.
Amelia didn't want any fights anymore. So she raised her hand in an attempt to stop Lucian but he didn't seem to realize that Amelia's hands were raised so he accidentally hit her.
It hurt Amelia so bad that tears streamed down from her face. Still, she made sure she didn't cry out in pain and remained silent.
"Amelia, are you okay?" Jonny was scared. He hurriedly stood up and grabbed Amelia's hands, checking them anxiously.
Amelia kept her gaze at Lucian, tears welling up in her eyes. Lucian was stunned and looking back at her in utter disbelief. It seemed that he hadn't realized what had happened until it was all over.
