Chapter 111 A Married Man

"Yes, Mr. Lucian. I already took the hit so you better fulfill your promise," Jasper said, his tone full of resentment and pain.

Lucian's calm look turned into a glare. Coldly he replied, "Is this how you respond when you've hurt others?"

Jasper answered in a disapproving tone, "So what else would you have me do?"

"Jasper, stop! Don't say anything more," Vernon said in panic.

Jasper tried his best to control his temper. Finally, he smirked and tried to flatter Lucian. "Well, you're the big boss of the city. Whatever you wish will be done."

"I asked them to slap you because of Amelia. You've done her something terrible and I wanted to even things out as her ex-husband. You have to apologize to her," Lucian said without any hint of expression.

Jasper was having a hard time control his anger in front of Lucian. His face was beginning to turn red when he said, "You've already hit me. What else do you want? Why won't you just let things go?"

"Jasper, don't..."

"Dad! Why don't you tell him the truth? The only reason I've been trying to put up with this guy is because of your stupid company!" Jasper shouted as he faced Vernon.

Vernon's face contorted into a mix of shame and fear. He slowly turned to Lucian and said, "Mr. Lucian, I hope you can help me for the sake of our family."

Lu

She struggled to break free from his embrace.

She regretted not turning away once he saw him approaching. But she thought that it was better to stand there and wait for him than have him chase her.

Lucian wouldn't let her go despite her protests. The words out of his mouth went straight into her heart like bullets. Hearing him then dealt nothing but pain.

She stopped resisting after realizing that it was useless to struggle. But when she spoke, her voice was like ice, "You make it impossible for me to live my own life. You're pathetic and disgusting."

Amelia was furious.

Lucian's face fell but he still wouldn't let Amelia go. Stubbornly, he replied, "You can go ahead and live your life, but I'm not going anywhere. You can't make me leave."

Lucian did not mean to sound overbearing but Amelia thought his voice domineering.

"I don't want you in my life!" Amelia spoke through gritted teeth.

Her words felt like barbed wire strangling Lucian's heart.

"You say that but you don't mean it. I can't do it, Amelia. My life is meaningless without you!" He almost shouted at her. The passion in his declaration made Amelia feel uneasy.

She knew it was all her fault. Not once did he betray their love. So much guilt filled Amelia's heart that she thought it best for Lucian to just give her up.
