Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 110 Seeking Justice

Feeling embarrassed, Amelia let her eyes wander around, not daring to look back at Lucian.

The soft music continued to play in the background. The two of them did not share another word with each other. Amelia was busy tending to her own business. Meanwhile, Lucian was just quietly sitting on his chair, finishing up the cake that was on his plate.

A moment later, Lucian's phone rang. After giving a quick glance at the screen, he stood up and smiled at Amelia. "Take care of yourself. I'll come back tomorrow," he said.

"Mr. Lucian, please cherish the people you have in your life," Amelia said without hesitation.

With an even wider smile, Lucian walked up to Amelia and cupped her cheek in his hand. "Of course I will."

"What? No... I'm sorry. I was talking about Miss Shelly. She really loves you," she hurriedly corrected, taking a step back from Lucian.

Hearing this, Lucian's face darkened, his eyes completely fixated on Amelia. "I can't think about anyone else but you," he said in a clear voice, "I love you, and I know that you feel the same way. You can't lead me to believe otherwise."

When Amelia had spoken up, she was expecting that her relationship with Lucian would be less complicated. But it seemed as if they were just back to where they were before.

Meanwhile, in the Zhan Group... Vernon had been waiting in the reception room for quite some time now. When he saw Lucian arrive, he stood up immediately and looked at his former son-in-law.

"What can I do for you?" Lucian asked flatly, gesturing Vernon to sit down.

There was an uneasy look in Vernon's face as he tried to guess what was going on in Lucian's mind. Slowly, he finally sat down. "Thank you, Mr. Lucian," he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm surprised that you remembered my birthday. You must have spent quite a lot."

Lucian sat down across from Vernon, leaning back on his seat with his hands clasped in front of him. "I did it for Amelia's sake," he replied coldly.

He was blunt with his words and tone even though he acted quite calmly.

Relief washed over Vernon when he heard this. "If you still love Amelia, why don't you just try and win her back?" Vernon pressed.

"You said that there was an emergency. Can you just tell me what it is?" Lucian asked impatiently, ignoring the question thrown at him.

"Here is the thing. My company invested on several projects recently, and we are short of funds. I came here to talk about the turnover. What do you think--"
