Chapter 164 I Am Not Your Biological Daughter

"Lucian, I can't stay calm when I'm in trouble." Amelia pushed herself out of Lucian's arms and looked at his worried face with guilt.

Lucian smiled faintly and caressed her cheek. "You don't have to say sorry to me. As long as you are happy, I am happy."

Although she was concerned about Vernon, she didn't say anything about it. She thought Lucian would waste his valuable time worrying about her.

When Lucian was at work, she called Courtney to ask for help.

As soon as Amelia mentioned the matter about her father, Courtney said in a firm tone, "It's not your fault that your father walked on the wrong path. He's just blaming it all on you because of constant losses. He is so shameless."

Amelia was speechless at the way Courtney talked, and her face went gloomy.

"But don't worry. I'm sure Lucian would do something about it." Courtney waited a few seconds for Amelia's reply before saying that.

"Why would Lucian help my father?" Lucian didn't even mention anything about it last night.

"It's because he is the son-in-law of the Mo family." Amelia had never expected that Lucian would help her father.

She was silent for a while. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She sighed and said in a small voice, "Courtney, I have to hang up."

"Amelia, wait…" Courtney's soft voice sounded in her ears. "If you're worried about him, I can accompany you to the Mo mansion."

Amelia hesitated before saying yes. Lucian wouldn't be anxious if Courtney were to accompany he

on't Lucian and Amelia help you in committing a crime?"

"Is that why you come here today?" Vernon asked angrily.

Courtney gently smiled and shook her head. "Uncle, Amelia is your daughter. She is also very anxious. I know you don't want her here, but at least she isn't laughing at you. What's funny is that you misunderstood your daughter's feelings!"

"Courtney." Amelia urgently pulled Courtney's hand to stop her.

"If you feel guilty, you can accept the punishment. After that, we will try solving it reasonably." Courtney's voice was firm.

She thought it was the only way. Without speaking a sentence longer, she stood up and dragged Amelia toward the door.

Amelia could see a furious Vernon in the living room, and she felt worse.

Just as she took a few steps, Vernon's cold voice echoed in her ears. "You're so heartless. It proves that you really aren't my daughter."

Wasn't Amelia his daughter? She stopped on her tracks and turned around. Her confused eyes stared at Vernon for a long time, as if trying to digest his words.

"What do you mean, uncle?" Courtney wasn't calm either. She frowned and walked over to Vernon.

Vernon raised his head to glance at Amelia. He smiled bitterly and said, "Just think about why Lucian was so mean to me. Wasn't it because he knew your background?"

"My background?" Amelia whispered to herself, too afraid to say it out loud.

"You don't even have the family name Mo. You're just an adopted child!" The irony in his tone was unmistakable.
