Chapter 254 The Past

"Amelia, I am aware that what I did is unforgivable, and I can't ask for your forgiveness. But I really have to at least apologize to you," Shelly said as she stepped forward and bowed sincerely to Amelia.

Amelia was surprised with what Shelly did and said, but she said nothing. At length, she decided to eventually leave. "Go inside. I need to return home."

"Amelia, I hope that there is something in the future that I can do in order to make up for the stupid and mean things that I did to you," Shelly said in an apologetic tone of voice just as Amelia was about to leave.

Amelia's face didn't change although she paused to hear what Shelly had to say. She didn't say anything after Shelly finished speaking, and instead proceeded to the parking lot.

"Good girl," Emma said in a gentle voice. She approached Shelly quietly after Amelia got into the car. Shelly watched Amelia silently until she drove away.

"I understand that you are doing this for your son, but I feel less pressure now after saying that to her," Shelly replied back to Emma in a tone of indifference.

"You're both my dear children. I will never be biased to any of you," Emma said as she gently stroked Shelly's face and smiled at her.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to see aunt Fannie? Let's go inside," Shelly suggested in her regular tone of voice. Her expression did not change but what Emma said touched her deeply and it made her think about a lot of things that she took for granted before.

Emma nodded to the suggestion. Her smile never faded from her lips as she followed Shelly. Her expression changed when she suddenly remembered something. "When you hurt Amelia in the past, was your aunt Fannie behind any of it?" Emma asked in her usual gentle tone of voice.

The words spoken by Emma made Shelly pause. Her face suddenly turned white as

starting line of the letter surprised her. She never expected that it would begin with the words, "Amelia, my daughter." The words unleashed a flood of emotions in her heart.

It was the kind of pain that made her feel helpless.

After she finished reading the letter, tears immediately filled her eyes and flowed down her cheeks.

She never expected Vernon to feel sorry for the insults that he made to her and to her mother, Iris.

In his letter, he explained why he was angry with her that made him tell her that she was an adopted child. According to his letter, the company of the Mo family had almost gone out of business. He became stressed with coming up with a plan to keep the business afloat. He then came up with the idea to apply for a loan with the Zhan Group but Amelia's unwillingness to help made all the anger in his heart explode at her and that made him say all those terrible words to her.

He then disclosed the circumstances that surrounded her true identity. He explained that he was both young and impulsive, but he really did love Iris so much. He became angry when Iris used his love for her to hide the result of her affair.

Iris didn't have to lie to him to get safe haven. He was more than willing to accept her if only she told him everything from the start.

Vernon also said that he went back to Iris in order to calm her down. But he slept with Sophia for one night before he came back. Even though Sophia became pregnant, Vernon was ready to return to their family without hesitation. He thought that everything would go back to normal afterwards and that they would be happy, but he never expected to be a laughingstock.

Vernon said the same thing as Sophia, confirming her story. He said that Iris started to see her lover once more after she gave birth to Amelia. This drove them apart once more.
