Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 90 Please Come Back To Me

There was a lump in Amelia's throat and she felt tears welling in her eyes.

But the thought of what would happen to Zhan Group kept Amelia from breaking down. She sniffed and held herself from crying. Despite wanting nothing more than to hug Lucian, Amelia said indifferently, "I can't live without money."

She looked away, avoiding Lucian's eyes.

"Our lives would still be rich and happy, even without Zhan Group," Lucian said as he reached to take Amelia's hands in his.

Amelia didn't expect Lucian to say those words. She wondered if he really believed what she just said.

She felt an indescribable sadness swell in her heart. Amelia had never been interested in Lucian's money. But if Lucian believed her, she thought that she could be more ruthless.

Amelia pulled her hands away from Lucian and exclaimed, "Oh, who cares? Our relationship is a farce. At the time, I was just too timid to say no to you. I was afraid that you'd expose my photos and manipulate me, so I thought I would just play along. Now that Zhan Group is in crisis, this is the best time for me to be rid of you."

Amelia's voice was loud and her voice was as cold as steel.

Lucian's face lost all expression. His air was dark and serious, only his eyes betrayed tenderness and affection.

Seeing this, Amelia felt a tinge of pain in her heart. She clenched her fists tightly and reminded herself that she must appear strong.

"Is that what you really think?" Lucian didn't believe her. As if he was reading her mind, he continued, "Or are you just saying that to make me accept An Group's offer? You're just saying these things to make me hate you!"

Amelia turned to look at him but said nothing.

Lucian held her in his arms and whispered into her ear, "Darling, stay with me. I need you now more than ever."

Hearing Lucian call her darling almost broke Amelia's heart into pieces. Helpless in his embrace, she couldn't think of anything else to reply.

But Amelia knew that if she didn't take control of the situation, things could get worse for Lucian and Zhan Group.

With tears in her eyes, Amelia pushed Lucian away. "Do you really think I'd come back to you seeing how you look right now?"
