Amelia wore a pair of low-heeled shoes. But even with the low heels, each step that she made created a clacking sound with the floor. She was more familiar with using flat shoes, so she felt that she ran slower than before.
There was a big water fountain near the gate of the An mansion. Amelia was worried that she ran the wrong way and wanted to go around the water fountain to check if her car was parked on the other side of the water fountain. But she was surprised that her car was nowhere to be found.
"Don't run, Amelia! You can't get away from me!" Jonny reached out his hand to grab her shoulder as he threatened her.
Amelia briefly glanced over her shoulder and then gave Jonny a look of disgust. "You are crazy!"
She wondered how he could possibly have the time to chase her around when he surely had things that he had to do at the An Group.
"It's true that I've wronged you, but I've always been opposed to Lucian, not you," Jonny explained as he stared at Amelia with his sharp wild eyes.
"And that is exactly why you are my sworn enemy. Because you are opposed to Lucian!" she replied back to him with scorn.
The tone of her voice and the hostility in her eyes were like molten knives that slowly murdered Jonny from within.
"You are so naive, Amelia!" Jonny replied back as he violently shook his head. There was no smile on his face anymore. He regarded Amelia as being silly.
But whatever words he said, Amelia would never be able to bring herself to trust him again.
"Let me go!" Amelia screamed as she stared at Jonny with sharp eyes. She forcibly got rid of his hand on her shoulder.
"Once Lucian found out about his true identity, he looked for Edmund. He then used the resources of th
Lucian's statement regarding Jonny's situation was so clear and ominous that it rendered him speechless.
"Lucian, leave that crazy man alone. Let's just go home!" Amelia said as she tugged at Lucian's arm. She glared at Jonny with such indifference that he almost regretted what he said.
The tone of Jonny's voice reflected his unwillingness to accept whatever fate handed down to him; while Amelia's words were hurting him.
"Don't you always talk about knowing my family background? Let me make it clear to you. Your wish will never come true!" Lucian said with scorn as he escorted Amelia into his car.
It was obvious to Jonny that Lucian was never an easy rival since the beginning. He could easily see through Jonny's thoughts and plans. It was one of the reasons why he wanted to get Amelia to his side. Because she was Lucian's weakness. He saw her as the key to defeating Lucian.
They drove off in silence soon afterwards. Amelia was bothered by Lucian's complete silence while driving. He focused on driving and never spoke nor turned to look at her.
The words that Lucian left for Jonny before they drove off made him seem superior and domineering to Amelia. It was like he was completely in control of the things that happened to him.
There was frustration in Jonny's face as it turned pale as a ghost.
Lucian felt the animosity between him and Amelia as he drove. "I said those words just to hurt Jonny on purpose. But it does not mean that I am OK with what you and your father hid from me."
Amelia was stunned by his words. She slowly turned to look at his handsome face and saw no emotion there. They were very close to each other physically but she felt like he was a thousand miles away from her.
