Chapter 116 Courtney Bought The Milk Tea Shop

After a long chat with Mrs. Chen, Amelia returned to her room and washed up. Apparently, they had talked the whole night for it was already midnight.

Amelia had meant to call Courtney to ask if she had some money to spare. However, realizing that it wasn't a small amount she needed, she thought better of it.

Nonetheless, she received a call from Courtney, who was inviting her out for a meal.

"Aren't the weekends a good time for making money? Why are you asking me out?" Courtney's shop was full on weekends, and Amelia had no intention of taking her time or being in her way.

"We haven't seen each other for days, and I miss my godson!" Courtney said eagerly over the phone.

"You can see only me, though," Amelia replied coldly.

"Alright, alright. I don't have time to argue with you. Open the door. I'm right outside!" Courtney urged impatiently on the other end of the line.

"Really?" Amelia opened the door and found Courtney standing there, carrying bags of various sizes.

Upon seeing Amelia, Courtney seemed like she had finally found someone who could free her from all her suffering. She took a deep breath and said, "Come on! Take me inside!"

As Amelia took her bags from Courtney, she saw her turn around and stagger toward more luggage near the ancient tree.

Confused, Amelia asked, "Are you moving?"

Her friend not only had many bags in her hands and arms. She now pushed a large suitcase as well.

"That's right. I've brought my luggage here!" Courtney explained as she pushed the suitcase into the room.

Amelia murmured something. She quick

"What good are you? You can't even attract a man!" Edmund yelled as he pointed a finger at Shelly. In his fury, he threw a pile of documents onto the ground.

Shelly was so frightened that she trembled all over. Sobbing bitterly, she said, "Dad knows that Lucian isn't attracted to me. No matter how hard I try, he still loves Amelia!"

Upon hearing that name, Edmund grew red with rage. He paced back and forth in the living room. He barked, "Imagine! That ordinary-looking woman won Lucian's heart!"

"Not only Lucian. My brother, too, is completely fascinated by her!" Shelly confessed. She wiped the tears off of her face and had stopped sobbing. "My brother has always been at odds with you. He said he didn't care about An Group's property, but now, because of that immoral woman, he might be determined to pursue the An Group!"

Edmund, who was paranoid and insecure, had often been worried about his family. He had always been deeply affected by what people thought about An Group. Hearing what Shelly had just said, he was overcome with anxiety. Frowning, he said, "If Jonny wants to be an ungrateful bastard, then let him be. I'll no longer care about our father-and-son relationship!"

Shelly had seen Edmund lose his temper more than once in the previous years. She had seen it in the way he beat Emma. He was so horrible that she didn't even dare to breathe now. Whenever she came face-to-face with him, she echoed almost every word he said. It was almost as if she wanted to share his anger and his thoughts so that she could finally have her place in the An family.
