The doughty atmosphere suddenly changed the expression of the reporters likened to a tamed sheep faced against a wolf. Lucian sharply exuded a strong aura as he spoke in a tough cold voice. Those who were unwilling to move back began to retreat and their face showed a panic-stricken look.
"Mr. Lucian, you can't always avoid the problem like this." One of the reporters struggled to suppress such pressure and boldly asked. He glanced at Jonny who was standing aside and inquired, "Mr. Jonny, you look very calm. Does that mean the rumor on the Internet is true?"
"Yeah, there are no waves without wind. There is a huge secret!"
"Mr. Lucian, could you please tell us the truth?"
“……”
Seeing the lead journalist braving himself to once again press on for answers, the reporters felt encouraged and one after another found their courage to bombard Lucian with a new round of questions.
Amelia who was currently in Lucian's arms could feel the man's anger radiating as his muscles tensed for every jab of questions asked.
"Jonny, are you trying to return to your former career?" said Lucian. He stood still with disdain on his face and took a quick glance at Jonny who was standing aside and watching the fun.
His voice was not loud nor silent but was clearly heard amid the noise. His words were easy to understand. It looked like the uproar was probably arranged by Jonny.
"That's right. There's no smoke without fire. Someone is trying to confuse the truth, so we don't have anything to say. Justice will have its day!" Amelia looked up and smiled all of a sudden, a carefree smile.
The reporters went still and the noise was hushed. At this time, Jonny walked forward and stoo
at Jonny before turning his back against him.
Jonny's lips still curled into a complacent smile, which slowly faded away as their backs gradually went far. What was left on his face was nothing but bitterness.
On the way, Lucian didn't say a word while driving. His expression unreadable.
Amelia looked at him several times but said nothing in the end.
After returning to the SJ Garden, Lucian went straight upstairs to the study. Amelia silently followed him but was stopped at the door to the study.
"Amelia, you go downstairs first to accompany Mark. I want to be alone in the study," he pleaded with a tired look on his face.
Amelia frowned. Although she was a little disappointed, she still felt sorry for him and nodded to agree.
She went downstairs but her thought was still bothered and worriedly wondered.
What happened to make the calm and wise Lucian upset?
As soon as she sat down on the sofa and had Mark taken out of the stroller, her phone vibrated.
Seeing Jonny's name on the screen, her heart shivered.
"Do you want to know the reason? Come to the villa in the south of the city and see me."
The content in Jonny's text, like a fish hook with a bait, caused her to feel a lurking danger and gradually made her curious.
She knew that no matter how she asked Lucian, he wouldn't tell her the truth.
He would rather deal with Jonny than tell her the truth.
With so many questions and uneasiness, Amelia felt that Lucian's sudden unwillingness to speak out maybe was caused by the deepest scar he had hidden.
She had always been cautious as not to upset him. She wanted to do something for him in any way she could just for him to open up to her.
