Amelia was already riding a taxi on her way home when Lucian called her to ask where she was. When she told him the truth, he said that he would pick her up instead.
Not wishing to argue with her husband, Amelia got off the taxi and stood by the roadside to do as he told.
She kept thinking about the two hundred thousand that Vernon owed.
Amelia had promised Vernon that she would help him, so she wanted to keep her word.
Of course, she wouldn't be able to raise two hundred thousand in a short matter of time, but considering how much she made at the milk tea shop in the last couple of months, she knew that she would be able to help her father to pay some.
"Amelia! It's really you," Jonny said after stopping his car in front of her.
"Jonny?" Amelia didn't expect to see Jonny there.
"What are you doing here? Get in the car. I'll drive you home," Jonny said with a smile.
Amelia waved her hand and replied with an equally gentle smile, "Thank you, Jonny, but I'm waiting for Lucian. He should be here soon."
"I see," Jonny said. He looked at her heavily pregnant belly and said with concern, "Well, you can sit here in the car while you wait. It must be more tiring for you to stand."
Amelia shook her head and replied, "I'm okay, Jonny. Please go ahead. Lucian said he's arriving soon."
Jonny stepped out of the car. Approaching Amelia, he joked, "Are you afraid that Lucian would be jealous if he saw me? Then, I'll wait here with you to see his reaction."
"There's no need, Jonny, really," Amelia answered with e
me, I'm sorry but it won't work. I know Lucian better than you," Amelia said as the corners of her mouth lifted to form a mocking smile. Sasha had never seen her look so confident.
She had never considered that Amelia would fight back. Frustrated, Sasha assumed an air of indifference. "I don't care what you think. But there's one thing that I'm really worried about. It's that Lucian has been keeping certain letters. I saw him take them out and reminisce."
Letters? Amelia didn't know just how much of Sasha's words she could believe.
Feeling that Sasha had been expecting to elicit a certain reaction from her, she forced a smile and said, "I don't think there's anything more we need to talk about. Please excuse me."
"Take care, Amelia. And if you want to know more about the girl behind the letters, you're free to come visit me at No. 32, Hua City. Or at Zhan Group, whichever's more convenient for you." Sasha gave her a gloating smile.
Without raising her head to meet Sasha's eyes, Amelia nodded politely before hailing a cab.
No. 32, Hua City? Amelia wondered if it's the same place she used to frequent.
She didn't know that Sasha had moved into this place, somewhere very close to SJ Garden.
Amelia clung to her handbag and tried to calm her thoughts.
As soon as she arrived at Mo mansion, Amelia immediately noticed a familiar luxury car parked at the gate.
She was even more stunned when she saw the person who got out of the car. "What are you doing here, Amelia?" Lucian asked her with the most charming smile.
