"Lucian is in charge of the Zhan Group. I don't think I can change anything." Nicholas knew that Fannie's request was reasonable, but it was impossible to fulfill her request. Her attitude towards Amelia was extremely horrible. If Fannie somehow managed to change her behavior, perhaps Lucian would agree without hesitation.
The color of her face changed dramatically. She lowered her voice and said in a threatening tone, "We have been a couple for years. If you don't want to help me, it's fine. But don't blame me for revealing your secret."
"You are going to be a grandmother. Isn't it foolish to bring up those bizarre things? You're just going to humiliate we both." A spark of anger ignited in Nicholas's eyes.
Fannie sneered. "If you can make that kind of decision, then why not me? Plus, I don't think I'll have any dignity if I lose my face in the Zhan family."
Nicholas trembled in anger. He stayed silent for a moment and raised his head to gaze at her fiercely. "You should change your attitude towards Amelia. Show that you are a mother-in-law, not some villain in a movie. Amelia has never retorted whenever you yelled at her. If it were another woman, she would have argued back long ago."
"Nicholas, why are you so partial with her? It makes me think as if you want to rob the cradle again. It's a pity that she's your daughter-in-law. Besides, you can't even move your legs. How could you even run away with her?"
"You are so unreasonable!" Nicholas roared in a fury. He raised his walking stick and slammed it
g in her heart. She pushed the bowl down and pointed her finger at Amelia's nose in anger. "Do you think you can buy anyone's heart using food? I will never do that! Never!"
After Shelly vented her anger, she turned around and left without even saying goodbye to Fannie.
"No... Shelly, come back!" Fannie could only stare at the empty space. She shook her head in disappointment. "What a mean girl!"
"Mom, don't blame Shelly. Here, drink it all." Amelia didn't expect to meet Shelly in the hospital. She was even more startled at Fannie's behavior. Her attitude toward both Amelia and Shelly had taken a leap.
"Amelia, you know that I'm Lucian's aunt, don't you?" Fannie put down the empty bowl and held Amelia's hand. "I have always been insecure, you know? I'm not his real mother, I'm his aunt. I always feel like he would just slip out of my hands any minute! He just never listens to me, and I end up interfering too much in his personal life. The result is what's been happening between him and me today."
Amelia had never been alone with Fannie before. In the past, Fannie wouldn't have talked to her like this. The old Fannie was too aggressive and hyper to speak peacefully.
After listening to Fannie's words, Amelia understood the reason why Fannie used to behave like that with her.
"Mom, don't worry. Lucian won't do anything reckless." Amelia had been with Lucian for almost a year, and she knew him like the back of her hand.
He proved to be a responsible man as she relied on him for her lifelong happiness.
