"I'm just teaching her how to be a good wife. What's wrong with that?" Fannie complained.
Nicholas furrowed his brows deeply. While Amelia was chasing after Lucian, he reminded Fannie coldly, "You already got what you want. Now stop messing with the children."
This made Fannie even more unhappy. She replied impatiently, "I not only have to fight for my place in the Zhan Group but also in my own family! As Amelia's mother-in-law, I think I have the right to discipline her!"
Fannie was unsatisfied when seeing Lucian always defend Amelia. She felt that she, as a mother, was neglected. Especially Lucian wasn't her biological son so she felt as if she had no control over him.
"Amelia is sweet and kind. Anyone would be happy to have her as a daughter-in-law. You're the only one who's being way too picky!" Nicholas sighed—knowing that no matter what he said, he couldn't get through to Fannie.
"Lucian!" Amelia tried to catch up with him but unfortunately, she failed. From a distance, she could see Lucian nearing towards his car, getting ready to get in and drive off.
Under the eaves of the mansion, there was a row of red lanterns that reflected a red halo. The warm atmosphere only magnified Lucian's icy cold demeanor.
Finally, she had caught up with Lucian and Mark. "You know Mom better than I do. Why are you mad at her? We're having the family reunion dinner tonight. Dad's going to be upset if you're not there."

ea that maybe Sophia really did have something to do with her mother's death.
"What's your phone number then? I'll call you when I'm free." Amelia really wanted to know how Sophia was involved in her mother's death.
"Amelia, I know I've done a lot of terrible things to you. Don't worry, I've already received my punishment. I really hope you can forgive me. I'm suffering now from my retribution and I've grown a lot especially after I had Bonnie. I really should turn over a new leaf. That's the only way I can set a good example for my daughter," Yolanda explained sincerely. Amelia could tell that Yolanda really had grown and matured.
In the past, they always fought whenever they saw each other. This was the first time that they'd met and didn't fight. It seemed as if the hostility between them was gone already. Amelia smiled and said, "Well, like you said, in order to set a good example for my son, I'm going to forgive you. I'm letting the past go. Yolanda, you should be happy."
"Thank you." Yolanda smiled in relief. Before leaving, she held up Bonnie's hand and said, "Say goodbye to Auntie."
"Mrs. Amelia, who was that woman? If you didn't return so soon, I would have asked someone for help!" Lily watched as Amelia and Yolanda spoke all the while alert, ready to call for help if something went wrong.
Amelia couldn't help but laugh as she could tell that Lily went a bit overboard in worrying about her. "Who would mess with me in broad daylight?"
