Since She Met Lucian

His eyes were dark as an abyss. Fury was written all over his face. He pursed his thin lips and squeezed out a few words in an angry tone. "Edmund has gone overboard! Fine, this time, I'll return the favor." Edmund had crossed the line this time, and Lucian couldn't stand it anymore.

It would've been fine if Edmund resorted to tricks of the business world to make Lucian suffer. Edmund had instead used despicable means to hurt Amelia.

Amelia was confused. Wasn't Edmund Jonny's father? Why did he do that? A trace of worry could be seen on her face.

"He was trying to suppress me by hurting you. You were never his target." Lucian's face darkened, and the anger on his face only increased.

Amelia's eyebrows furrowed. How could she understand the complications of business? She looked at his angry face and decided to comfort him. "Well, maybe he just wants to take care of his daughter in the best way possible."

She bit her lips, regretting her words. How could she say something like that knowing how uncomfortable this topic was for Lucian? After seeing Lucian's cold glance, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Amelia didn't know what to say.

"Edmund has never been a good father. He used his own daughter to get to me. All he thinks about is to defeat his enemies! He doesn't even think of his daughter." Muscles on Lucian's face tightened and twisted to show disdainful expression. He had been holding a grudge against Edmund ever since the Zhan Group fell into crisis.

"So, Shelly was also his victim." Amelia's voice was overflowing with sympathy. She thought those words could soothe Lucian's troubled heart.

"Amelia, why do you think everyone is as good as you? Try to learn something from what happened with you, and stay away from Shelly." Lucian gave her a touch of reality without darkening her heart.

Amelia's frown deepened. Her mind acted entirely opposite to Lucian's. If she hadn't stayed close to Lucian, Shelly wouldn't have been irritated. Guilt started filling the hole in her heart.

"Grandma, Miss Amelia, and Mr. Lucian are in the room." Mond's squeaky voice sounded in Amelia's ears from the other side of the room.

Amelia's astonished gaze cast at Lucian.

Lucian put his hand inside his pocket and said in a calm voice, "Let's go. We have to face it."

The kindness in her eyes had come back to hit her hard. Now, she really didn't know how to face it.

The landlady walked toward Lucian and Amelia, kneeling on the floor. Her grandson supported her. Tears flowed down her cheeks, and she looked at Amelia with moistened eyes. "You trusted me, and Mr. Lucian also helped me a lot. I'm really sorry..."

Amelia couldn't bear to see an old woman kneeling on the floor. She squatted and helped her up. "Mrs. Chen, please don't do this."
