"It's just a rumor, there is no proof. Why are you so eager to let it out? Aren't you afraid of being sued?" Panicking was the last thing that Amelia wanted. She didn't want to admit anything so soon.
Jonny smiled coldly. He was confident that he knew what was in Amelia's mind. "Amelia, don't try to hide it from me. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
"What do you mean?" Amelia asked. She didn't know what Jonny meant, but she could tell from his tone that he had been waiting for a chance to exact his revenge on Lucian.
"You may not know this, but Fiona, Lucian's mother, was a famous slut in the past!" The sound of Jonny's evil laugh reverberated from the other end of the phone. The mere mention of Fiona's name made him grit his teeth. "She was a regular third party in people's relationships! Everyone wanted to kill her!"
"No matter what the real story is, there's never a good reason to expose it to the media!" Amelia replied in anger. Her voice was obviously agitated and her entire body shook because of the rising feeling of indignation.
There was nothing in Jonny's mind that made him think that he might have gone too far. "Don't you agree that it is always better to get back everything that belongs to you?" he asked with an evil smile on his face.
"Don't expect that every person is like you who can stand up against the wishes of their own father to protect their own interests. Most people do not have the boldness to do that," Amelia contended in a tone of voice that challenged Jonny's ideas.
She had no idea what kind of person Jonny was in the past or during the years when she didn't see him regularly. But when she learned that he tore up the letters that Lucian wrote for her, and that he made disrespectful remarks to him, she felt very disappointed in him. She never thought that he was the kind of person who would take advantage of her gratitude for what he did.
"Amelia, I
s calmed them down a little bit.
The journalists followed Darren's instructions and moved towards the center of the road. Although most of them stopped surrounding the car and went to surround Darren, it was still not perfectly effective. It would still be a challenge if Amelia tried to put the car on reverse and drove off.
"We want to arrange an interview for the wife of Mr. Lucian. There is a rumor going around that she's the daughter of Mr. Nicholas. We want to know how much of that is true," one of the reporters demanded. She then turned to Amelia who still sat inside the car and watched them silently. "What do you think is the impact of this news to her relationship with the CEO of the Zhan Group? Has it changed? And in what way?"
The other reporters all threw their questions after the first reporter was done asking. Some were follow-up questions and some were new questions that they were interested to know.
Even the smallest piece of news about the Zhan Group or Lucian could attract a great amount of attention and interest in the city. And reporters would do anything to get the latest news about the Zhan Group or Lucian.
Darren looked for a good place to position himself and slowly moved there as the reporters followed. "If you are really interested to know the truth behind these rumors, just follow our corporate guidelines and we'll arrange everything. We are here to respond to this and give you as much information as you need. So, just follow the company's ground rules for interviews like this."
The journalists believed what he said and started to move away from the car.
Seeing this opportunity, Amelia moved from the passenger seat to the driver's seat. Her slim figure made it easier for her to slide to the driver's seat without getting noticed by the reporters. When she was about to drive away, a deep male voice reverberated in the area that made her pause and stop the engine of the car.
