Chapter 179 Shameless

Amelia still was worried after hung up the phone. She wondered if she could sought help from anyone else who might have information about Lucian.

Then a name popped up in her mind. Jonny.

Yes, she could seek help from Jonny. As soon as she thought of Jonny's name, she hurriedly dialed his number and hoped he would answer quickly.

Normally Jonny would never miss her call. Every time she called Jonny, he would always answer the phone no matter what. And this time was no exception.

The phone might have rang once or twice, but Jonny answered it with a cheerful tone. Amelia felt a little nervous when the phone connected and she heard Jonny's voice. However she summoned up her courage and asked him, "Jonny, do you... umm ... Have Lucian contacted you recently?"

She tried to sound casual. She didn't want to appear suspicious to Jonny.

"Lucian?" Jonny said in a confusing tone. He paused momentarily before he added, "Because of business, we often meet with each other, but not recently have we met. What's wrong? You seem stressed."

That meant, Jonny also didn't know Lucian's whereabouts. Amelia bit her lower lip, then answered his question considerately, "Oh, no. I'm absolutely okay. Don't worry."

She pretended to sound usual with her easy tone, but her words were hasty.

Because it was already midnight and it was obviously not normal for anyone to call at this hour of night to ask about her husband's whereabouts. Jonny got the image absolutely right. Something was definitely up.

"Amelia, didn't Lucian return home tonight?" Jonny asked her carefully.

Amelia paused for a second before answering. She thought that this was solely her and Lucian's business. She should not let anyone else to know. So, she let out a quick laugh and replied, "No. Actually Lucian was home. Then he had to go to his office as a sudden important work came up. He must have gotten busy with his work so didn't answer my call. He hasn't come back from the company yet. That's why I'm calling you..."

Amelia knew she

stayed quiet. But what made Amelia more upset was the girl that came out of his room and stood behind Lucian. Amelia remembered that, this was the same girl whom she met this morning. Amelia noticed she was wearing a white bathrobe, and her hair was still wet.

The glimpse of Lucian with another girl had frozen Amelia right on the spot. She couldn't even say anything else. She felt as if this wasn't even true. This was a dream. The fact was she couldn't imagine Lucian with another girl and here he was standing with her.

"Lucian, why are you here?" Shelly asked Lucian. She was also confused. She glanced at the girl behind Lucian as one of her brows slanted in strong disapproval. "And who is she?"

But Fannie interrupted, "Lucian, did you see what Amelia has done? She has come here behind your back to sleep with another man! Such a shameless woman!" She pointed at Amelia and continued accusing her, "I did not believe it when it was said that she had an affair with Jonny. But now it is right in front of all our eyes. There are even rumors that Mark is Jonny's child! It indeed is true then. We all know there can't be any smoke without fire!" Fannie looked at Amelia viciously and said those hurtful words.

But Fannie's words had fueled Amelia's anger. She trembled in fury and her eyes went red with those accusations. She yelled aloud suddenly, "You can insult me. I can tolerate that. But you have no right to do the same with my baby!"

It didn't matter to Amelia anymore that Fannie was a senior to her. She didn't care if her words could offend her but she would never allow Fannie to slander her and Lucian's child.

However, all the while Lucian didn't say anything. He stood aside quietly and only watched everyone, especially Amelia. Amelia looked at him and immediately got familiarized with his cold expression which was strange yet so familiar.

But the girl behind Lucian seemed frightened with all of these conflicts. She hugged his arm from behind and whispered in his ear, "Lucian, I'm scared..."
