Chapter 267 Confrontation

She was still in a daze when she heard someone knocking on the door. One of the servants of the Zhan mansion came to check if she had already gotten up.

"I'll go downstairs in a short while," she said without opening the door. There was no response from the servant but she heard footsteps receding.

When she got downstairs, Lucian was standing in the middle of the living room.

His tall and strong physique was hard to neglect.

But she was not in the mood to care so much about it. She took a deep breath and walked slowly towards him, feeling ill at ease.

Lucian's face lit up upon seeing her. He was apparently happy to see her again.

She couldn't meet his gaze as she was getting closer to him.

"Did you sleep well last night?" asked Lucian casually. He seemed not to mind her uneasiness.

She looked down and scratched her head unconsciously.

'It's already ten o'clock. Isn't it obvious that I woke up late?' she thought. However, she was too embarrassed to say it loud in front of him. Instead, she looked around to avoid meeting his eyes.

Perhaps, Lucian had understood the meaning of her silence so he said, "That's good."

Then he heaved a deep sigh and added, "I actually didn't sleep well.

Amelia was surprised. She suddenly looked into his face with creased forehead.

What did that deep sigh mean? Was he satirizing her for sleeping well? "Maybe because I'm not used to sleeping without you," explained Lucian unabashedly.

Amelia felt like her face was burning. She must be blushing now.

But when she remembered that it was Lucian who drove her out of SJ Garden, her expression suddenly became cold. The shyness she felt a while ago had totally banished. She had actually taken that moment to heart.

"It seems that you only thin

ecking the news, she took her phone out and searched for the news website.

Since it was something about Jonny, it meant that it had something to do with Lucian too. "You can go back to your work now. I can walk around by myself from here," she said to the servant behind her.

She then went back to her phone and scanned the headlines. Sitting beside the artificial fountain, she checked every news that might mention Jonny or Lucian's name.

She scanned the page over and over again until half an hour later, the news about Lucian displayed on the screen of her phone.

The eye-catching headline almost made Amelia's heart explode.

"Lucian Zhan, a talent in business, is actually an illegitimate child of an unknown. His wife is Nicholas' biological daughter!"

Amelia immediately dialed Jonny's number after reading the headline.

To her surprise, Jonny picked up after just one ring. It was as if he was really waiting for her call. "Does exposing other people's private life give you pleasure?" Amelia yelled. She clenched her fist in anger.

"I knew you would call," replied Jonny. From the tone of his voice, Amelia could tell that he was smiling. Didn't he even realize that he had already crossed the line?

"Well, this big news will definitely put the Zhan Group into the limelight. You should be happy for Lucian," he added.

Amelia got more angered. She wondered how Jonny had gotten this news since it hadn't been made public. Of course, it couldn't be Fannie. Although she didn't like Amelia, she would never do something to ruin Lucian's reputation. It couldn't be the servants as well. All of them were trained by the Zhan family and they had their loyalty. It was more impossible that any of them would expose this kind of information to the media.
