Chapter 231 Lucian Was In Danger

"Amelia, you don't have any other choice. Stop wasting more time and energy." Jonny smiled at Amelia. He hoped to change her confused and stubborn mind.

Jonny maintained a dominating demeanor, and looked like he was god-sent. Amelia's face, on the other hand, continued to darken further.

Amelia glanced at her phone. She wondered if Eric would be helpful, given her current predicament. It was clear that she was getting desperate...

"Amelia, no matter how rough my relationship with Lucian is, I will always be kind to you. You must trust me on this one. If you don't want any more trouble, come with me to the villa. I promise to leave you be as soon as everything gets settled." Jonny did not know how to take away Amelia's sadness. All he could offer her was his honesty and concern.

"I never pegged you as someone heartless, Jonny. It's easy for you to leave. However, it is not the same for me. I cannot leave my husband behind!" Amelia was angry and loud. The sincerity in her tone was undeniable.

All of a sudden, Jonny's face turned grim. He knew what he had to do. Before things escalated further, he said, "If that's the case, please forgive me for what I am about to do..."

"Ah!" Amelia felt a jolting blow to her neck, rendering her unconscious.

Jonny was quick enough to catch her before she could hit the ground. He held Amelia dearly in his arms as he said, "I'm really sorry, Amelia. You left me with no choice."

"Mom," Jonny called. "Can you watch over Amelia while I am gone? I need to go out and take care of something." Jonny entrusted Amelia's safety to his mom. Emma, as she stood at the doorway, trembled with fear and confusion. The sight of her son carrying Amelia's passed out body to the bedroom was truly uncanny to her.

"Jonny, isn't Amelia the girl you so deeply admired? Then, why did you knock her... her... knock... knock her unconscious?" Emma stood aside, making room for Jonny and Amelia. She was too nervous to articulate her words properly.

Jonny gave his

spired together, but it was fairly clear that they were in disagreement, too.

"You see, a woman must capitalize on a man's vulnerability. That's why I took Lucian in when he was down. I was the one who took care of him when he needed it most. And for that he would always remember me," Shelly declared with a triumphant smile.

'A man's vulnerability...' There was something about that line than hinted for Amelia.

Lucian was in a bad mood lately, but he tried to treat her in the best possible way he could. Perhaps, that was the root of their misunderstanding. Amelia could not help thinking that she had greatly neglected Lucian.

"If you really love Lucian, why did you hand him over to Jonny? Are you not aware of Jonny's intentions for Lucian?" Amelia spiraled down due to the emotions that overwhelmed her.

"Lucian's capture was practically his own doing. He refused my courtship right away!" Shelly said bluntly. There was no hint of shame in her tone.

Amelia felt relieved with the news she had just heard. She felt proud that Lucian kept the sanctity of their marriage. No less was expected of him.

However, having her husband's loyalty was beside the point. Amelia needed to know where they had hidden her husband.

"Amelia, don't you dare play tricks with me. Don't think for a second that you can escape from me!" Shelly fashioned a cold face. She gave a glance at Amelia and held a dagger to her victim's throat. She then said with a malicious smile, "If I can't be with the man I love, the same goes for you..."

"I will not beg for my life. If you really intend to kill me, then do it. Do you think Lucian will love you for doing so? Do you think you'll be able to survive in prison? At least, I have enjoyed my life. Yours will be filled with only suffering," Amelia said indifferently. Once again, she had hurt Shelly's ego.

"Well, if you're not afraid to die, I can arrange something worse just for you!" Shelly raised the dagger she held and prepared to slash Amelia's face.
