"And regarding my close relationship with Edmund, I just wanted to find out the real reason behind my mother's death," Lucian added.
The issue regarding Fiona was a sensitive topic for Lucian and Amelia knew this very well. She turned to Lucian and saw him with slightly lowered head and sulky eyes.
"So, did you find out anything?" Amelia asked softly.
It was such an important matter to Lucian that she was sure that he likely found something out about his mother.
He was discreet about the results for fear that it might mean trouble to others.
Amelia learned more about him the longer they were together. But her emotions could get the best of her and it caused misunderstandings between them.
"It's true that Edmund wants to be the CEO of the An Group again. But he never said anything about my mother."
And this was the reason why Lucian wanted to get closer to Edmund until he could get the information that he wanted.
"Maybe the death of your mother was also a trauma to him," Amelia said boldly. It was an unexpected idea.
So unexpected that even she was surprised with what she said. She thought that Lucian would be offended by her idea. But his reaction was not what she expected. "Actually, I think that he's guilty of something connected to her death!"
"Are you saying that Edmund might have something to do with your mother's death?" It was Amelia's personal belief that because they were a couple, they should talk about these things as much as they could.
Lucian slowly moved to turn and look straight at Amelia without speaking. He looked at her silently for a brief moment. "Dad thought that her death was odd back then, but he couldn't find any evidence to confirm his suspicions. So, it's over."
The sound of Nicholas' name
e former president of the An Group, harbored ill will against Lucian. His angry remarks were made just to entertain the public and vent his frustration. And both Lucian and I are willing to be part of your entertainment."
She made Edmund seem like an unreliable source of information that could have underlying motives for what he allegedly revealed.
Even if it what he said was true, she had to deny it.
"But Mr. Edmund swore that what he said was the truth," a reporter reasoned out.
Amelia smiled at the reporter and then said with an inquisitive manner, "Are you implying that no one would ever dare slander another person because he swears? Besides, think back on the past, and remember who it was that had a track record of slandering others? Isn't that Mr. Edmund?"
"Mrs. Amelia's words seem to make more sense,"
the reporters nodded in agreement.
"Mrs. Amelia, there are also rumors that you are the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Nicholas. Would you care to comment about this?"
Amelia smiled and replied calmly, "Rumors are rumors. The truth is always in the heart of Lucian and in my heart. If I have to answer, then all that I can say is that our family is living happily without any worry of these bad news."
She had been with Lucian long enough that she could now face reporters without trembling in fear. Not so long ago, being caught in a situation like this would make her a nervous wreck. Now she could fend off reporters with ease on her own.
The reporters who kept throwing questions at her eventually gave in.
Perhaps it was wise for the reporters who decided to give up. They knew that Lucian had such a great influence in the city that even if the rumors were true, it wouldn't really affect the advancement of the Zhan Group.
