Chapter 228 Lucian Is With Me

"Come on, it's time to go. Let's just do what the CEO had asked." One male employee urged his peers to leave the place, although most of them seemed to be reluctant. A female employee spoke up and persuasively said, "I think we should give the CEO and Mr. Jonny some privacy. Let's get back and mind our own businesses."

Convinced by what was said by their co-workers, the employees bade farewell to the CEO, then proceeded to leave.

All that remained in the place were Lucian, Amelia, and Jonny. Having the space all to themselves seemed uncanny. There was nothing but silence and glances between them. Little by little, Amelia began to feel uneasy.

"Jonny, do keep the account in mind. I'll see to it that Amelia gets home first, then we shall discuss it further." Lucian broke the silence with that stern speech. His indifference towards Jonny was unmistakable.

"Why do you have to leave so soon? Are you worried of what other people think?" Jonny retorted with a mocking smile. He continued to taunt and said, "Is this about your mom?"

"Shut up," Lucian said stoically. However, no matter how hard Lucian tried to contain his distaste, he could not allow such an offense to simply pass. His eyes burned with anger. Lucian stared at Jonny intensely. He threatened, "If you dare to speak of this again, I'll make sure you suffer things worse than death!"

Amelia could feel Lucian's anger. His hand trembled with scorn, as it rested on her shoulder.

Amelia felt relieved when Jonny decided to not pursue the topic any further.

"Well, since you're so adamant about it, I guess I should stop." Jonny seemed so da

further.

She called him again, but his phone was off.

She had been worried a lot due to Lucian's absence. Now that she knew Lucian was with Shelly, there was no way for her to calm down.

She thought of ways to get Lucian, but there was really one way to do about it.

"Mrs. Amelia, it's late. Are you seriously considering to go out?" Lily, with Mark in her arms, followed Amelia out of concern.

Amelia looked at the sleeping Mark in Lily's arms and said, "Lily, could you please take care of Mark for me? I really need to go out for a while."

"Okay. Please, drive safe." Lily frowned and seemed to be a little bit distressed with what was happening.

Amelia simply nodded and went to the garage to fetch her car.

Amelia did not know where Shelly lived. However, she had a hunch where she could have been staying.

Amelia would try for the An mansion. She knew that her plan was not air tight, but she had to try.

Fortunately, she had gone there twice already. Thus, she needed no help from any navigation device.

The An mansion shone brightly at night.

As soon as Amelia stopped her car, someone came out to greet her.

"Hello, Mrs. Amelia." Amelia was actually quite acquainted with the butler of the An mansion. He used to call her Miss Amelia. However, she was not Miss Amelia anymore. Amelia was there as Lucian's wife.

The butler greeted her properly. As a response, Amelia nodded back politely.

"Is Miss Shelly home?" she asked very straightforwardly.

She was very anxious. However, Amelia was always great at hiding her emotions whenever she spoke - especially when it was necessary.
