Chapter 328 The Misunderstanding Is Getting Deeper

Amelia was in a horrible mood, so she went out for a drive to clear her head. She drove around downtown in circles, but nothing worked to improve her mood.

Her phone suddenly showed Claire's caller ID. "Hello?"

Amelia suddenly remembered that Claire's house was nearby, as she said the last time.

"Amelia, where are you right now? Please, come visit me at my house and rescue me from boredom. I've been cooped up in the house for too long!" Claire's plaintive demand, which was cloaked as a request, greeted her as soon as she picked up.

At the time, Amelia was not in the mood for any negativity, so she held the headset away from her ear, growing a little impatient at Claire's complaints. Even so, she didn't have the heart to stifle Claire's enthusiasm, so she only waited quietly for Claire to finish, only half-listening.

"Today's not really a good day for me, Claire. Maybe some other day..." she said.

"Actually, Amelia, one of my friends is pretty friendly with Jonny," Claire continued as if Amelia did not interrupt her. "This friend told me that she overheard Jonny saying that he would make Lucian a laughingstock in the city..."

Amelia's hearing suddenly focused on Claire's words. "Okay, I'll be right there."

As long as Lucian was involved, she always paid attention.

The place that Claire was renting was situated within a safe neighborhood with a good environment.

Claire must have informed the guard in advance about Amelia's arrival, so she only had to register at the lobby to enter.

She took the elevator to the 12th floor. The hallway was extremely quiet when she stepped out.

After confirming the unit number from the Claire's text message, Amelia slowly walked down the hall, checking the numbers on the doors to find the correct unit.

"Yes... Ah... "

The occupants of a certain unit were very enthusiastic, to put it quite mildly. They di

answered only because she forced him, then she would rather not know.

She adjusted her hold on Mark and went downstairs, leaving Lucian alone in the bedroom, lost in thought.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated with incoming messages and received several photos, one after the other.

The text read, "Damn, Lucian, your wife is so sexy!"

Some photos showed a naked Jonny and a woman underneath him, evidently in the throes of passion. The woman in the photos was unidentifiable because her features were blurred. However, the set of photos included those of Amelia stepping in and out of the elevator and greeting the guard in the reception area.

Lucian's jaw clenched when he saw these photos. However, it was not anger that he felt, because he saw through Jonny's ulterior motives.

To Lucian, Jonny's actions showed a blatant disregard for his own life, so he would do him a favor and grant him a quick death.

"Dinner is ready, Mr. Lucian... are you going out?"

Amelia was feeding Mark in the dining room at the time. When she heard Lily's voice, she looked up and through the glass window she saw Lucian standing in the living room, dressed in a formal suit.

Lucian slightly nodded his head. "Please enjoy your dinner. I need to deal with something outside. I'll be right back." He did not elaborate on the reason why he was leaving at that time and, without another word, walked out of the front door.

"Mrs. Amelia, Mr. Lucian said he had to deal with something..." reported Lily.

Amelia turned toward her with a bright smile on her face. "Well, let's have dinner now. I'm hungry!" Amelia heard exactly what Lucian said, so she interrupted Lily. Holding Mark, she sat down in front of the dining table while inspecting the dishes and proceeded to eat her dinner with gusto.

However, it was all for show; her heart felt empty as soon as she heard that Lucian was heading out.
