His eyes were dark as an abyss. Fury was written all over his face. He pursed his thin lips and squeezed out a few words in an angry tone. "Edmund has gone overboard! Fine, this time, I'll return the favor." Edmund had crossed the line this time, and Lucian couldn't stand it anymore.
It would've been fine if Edmund resorted to tricks of the business world to make Lucian suffer. Edmund had instead used despicable means to hurt Amelia.
Amelia was confused. Wasn't Edmund Jonny's father? Why did he do that? A trace of worry could be seen on her face.
"He was trying to suppress me by hurting you. You were never his target." Lucian's face darkened, and the anger on his face only increased.
Amelia's eyebrows furrowed. How could she understand the complications of business? She looked at his angry face and decided to comfort him. "Well, maybe he just wants to take care of his daughter in the best way possible."
She bit her lips, regretting her words. How could she say something like that knowing how uncomfortable this topic was for Lucian? After seeing Lucian's cold glance, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Amelia didn't know what to say.
"Edmund has never been a good father. He used his own daughter to get to me. All he thinks about is to defeat his enemies! He doesn't even think of his daughter." Muscles on Lucian's face tightened and twisted to show disdainful expression. He had been holding a grudge against Edmund ever since the Zhan Group fell into crisis.
"So, Shelly was also his victim." Ame
man. Mrs. Chen never complained about her debts. Instead, she would always focus on Amelia's comfort.
Her love for her husband gave her the courage to stand straight in the adversities of life.
Love and kindness had the power to overcome the hardship.
"It was the least I could do." Lucian smiled lightly, concealing his inner thoughts. He hadn't told Amelia that his heart was moved by that old woman's dedication to her husband.
He wasn't a savior, but if he could help someone, that's worth it.
"You did a great job!" She gazed at him with a smiling face, impressed by his actions.
Lucian grinned, and joy glinted in his eyes. It was indeed worth the efforts. There was nothing better than hearing his beloved's words full of praise for him. He licked his lips in anticipation. This was the right time to ask her. "I have a vacant house in the south of the city. You can move there for a few days."
He couldn't find the right way to tell her the truth. But after his blunt words came out of his mouth without hesitation, he felt a little worried. After all, he knew Amelia well.
"Now, Mr. Lucian wants to support his ex-wife." She glared at him.
Lucian froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "It's not safe to live in the courtyard. Plus, you don't want to see the guilt on Mrs. Chen's face every day, do you?"
Amelia narrowed her eyes at Lucian. She had indeed noticed a little change in his expressions. Even though his eyes held a hint of anger, his tone was gentle as if he was coaxing an angry child.
