Since She Met Lucian

"Don't be so hypocritical, Amelia. It was only a coincidence that you ended up marrying Lucian. You were so cocky, thinking that we were beneath you. Look at you now–you're left with nothing. You think you can just come running back to us and start treating us again like your family as if nothing happened? Shame on you!" Yolanda had to restrain herself. Then she snorted and added sarcastically, "You thought you were so much better than everyone else just because you married into Zhan family. When in reality, you're nothing but a mistress."

The look on Amelia's face shifted. She wanted to fight back as she didn't expect that Yolanda would attack her like this. With a cold look on her face, she said snidely, "Aren't you exactly the same way? Don't you like eating other people's leftovers?"

Amelia knew that Yolanda would definitely grab this chance to talk back at her. She wasn't going to let it happen anymore—she was carrying a child and this was just not healthy for her. She didn't want her child growing up with all these kinds of negativity. So no matter what, she was going to fight back. She wasn't going to let Yolanda step all over her anymore.

Upon hearing this, Yolanda glowered at her. Snidely, she said, "Well, you and Jasper didn't even sleep together and you really consider Jasper as your leftovers?"

Amelia was taken aback at this. She didn't expect that Yolanda would go this far. She sneered at her. "Doesn't matter. I never enjoyed the meal anyway."

"Amelia, looks like you're learning a thing or two about talking back. Well, I don't want to argue with you anymore. I pity. Everyone abandons you and it seems that no one likes you," Yolanda said sharply, scowling at Amelia.

Eyeing Yolanda's bulging belly, Amelia bit her tongue back. She didn't want to fight with her anymore. In a low voice, she said, "For the sake of your baby, I'm going to let this go."

Amelia decided it was time go back to work especially that Yolanda was here now. She took off her apron and walked around Yolanda, intending to go to the living room to say goodbye to Vernon.

"Oh my God!" Yolanda cried in pain as soon as Amelia walked past her.

Amelia turned to look at Yolanda. Yolanda was lying on the ground with her one hand clutching at Amelia's leg. With much difficulty, Yolanda said, "Amelia, I know you don't like me but leave my baby out of this! This is my and Jasper's child! This is my life!"

All of a sudden, Yolanda screamed. If Yolanda wasn't grabbing Amelia's leg, Amelia would have left already. It was quite obvious that Yolanda was just acting after all.

"Yolanda, what's wrong?" Upon hearing the noise, Jasper suddenly came rushing in. The scene he chanced upon pretty much told the story itself—Yolanda was on the ground and was pulling Amelia's leg with her hand. He then turned to Amelia and asked sternly, "Amelia, what did you do to Yolanda?"

"I was just standing here, minding my own business when your wife suddenly grabbed my leg. Why don't you ask her?" Amelia said coldly to Jasper upon seeing him come in.

Jasper had been holding a grudge against Amelia ever since she refused to lend him money. Now was his chance to get back at her. He then helped Yolanda up and without wasting another second, he turned to Amelia and slapped her across the face.

Amelia was completely taken aback—she hadn't realized what had happened until she felt the sharp twinge on her face.
