Chapter 112 Don't Make A Fool Out Of Yourself

Amelia didn't know what to reply to Lucian. 'How do I get rid of this man!' she thought, praying for divine intervention. After taking a deep breath, she decided that it was time to face him. Swiftly, she raised her head to look at him.

The scene she saw scared her stiff and made her heart skip a beat. Right behind Lucian was Shelly, staring menacingly at her.

"It's late now. Let me send you back." Lucian told her, oblivious that Shelly was with them.

After the initial shock had worn off, Amelia, who just came back to her senses, said in a very low voice, "Miss Shelly..." Her heart started beating incredibly fast and cold sweats began to appear on her forehead. It was as if her body was preparing her for the mess that was going to happen.

Shelly stood hidden from the light. Despite that, Amelia could still clearly see the expression on her face—cold, exasperated, dangerous. Even though Lucian was standing between them, she could still feel the sharpness of her glare.

Lucian was able to quickly pick up the fear clouding Amelia's eyes. Because of that, he turned his heads towards the place Amelia was staring at.

"Lucian, you... How could you do this to me!" Shelly emerged from the darkness and into the light. Her eyes were already moist with tears as she pointed her fingers back and forth between Lucian and Amelia.

"Miss Shelly, we are not..."

"Shut up, Amelia!" Shelly shouted, her voice filled with anger and hurt. With her shaking hands she pointed at Lucian and Amelia's interlocked hands, saying, "Did you really think that no one will notice that?"

To appease the angry Shelly, Amelia quickly let go of Lucian's hand. Unfortunately, that didn't help the situation—instead, Shelly became more furious, it showed on her face.

In contrast to an obviously panicking Amelia, Lucian looked very calm and collected. "Let me send you back first," he gently repeated, c

your plan, Jasper. I know you only called me because you need me, nothing more, nothing less," she replied, annoyed. In the past, Jasper had easily influenced her, leading her to do anything he wanted. 'But in the end, I never got anything in return,' she thought.

'Also, I think it's best that we don't have anything to do with each other now. I don't have to pretend to find an excuse to reject him.'

"But dad is sick! Come back quickly! Please!" Jasper said anxiously.

This took Amelia by surprise. After a short silence, she asked quietly and seriously, "What? Father is sick? Where is he? Let me talk to him."

Everything that had transpired between her and Jasper ruined her trust in him. She knew that he would do anything to make her do whatever he wanted.

"Amelia," Vernon's voice suddenly came through the phone. "Just... come here. I have something very important to tell you." Immediately after saying, he coughed incessantly.

Amelia felt her heart breaking into a million pieces. Now, she had no choice but to go back.

And since it wasn't too late in the day, she decided to go back at that very moment to see what was going on.

Every time she came back to the Mo mansion, she would be full of disappointed and go back home. But thinking of Vernon, she went back for safety.

"Tell me your address, I'll pick you up," Jasper said eagerly.

"No, thanks. I'll take a taxi instead." She didn't want Jasper to know where she lived. It didn't matter if he wouldn't disturb her, he had no business knowing her address.

After an hour, Amelia's taxi arrived at the Mo family's house. Jasper was already waiting for her at the mansion's gates. He was wearing a colorful shirt, and upon seeing her get off the car, he immediately rushed to her. "Amelia!" he called out enthusiastically. "You've been sitting for a long time, haven't you? You must be very tired. I'll get your bags!"
