Chapter 1195

“Why do you want to be my defense lawyer?” she asked at the time.

“Because Amelia expressed her desire to inquire about her friend’s whereabouts, and you were willing to share that information on the condition of securing probation for yourself, is that not correct?” Rosalie inquired.

“So, you’re helping her? A lawyer like you wouldn’t need to do such a thing for money, would you?” Alicia replied sarcastically.

“I’m doing this solely for my friend,” Rosalie affirmed.

“You are the lady of the Youngblood family. In Strico, there are many people who seek to gain your favor. Why would someone like Amelia be your friend? She’s just a concession stand owner! Don’t you think it’s beneath your status to be friends with someone like her?” Alicia remarked.

“If you measure friendship in such a way, you’ll find it challenging to make genuine connections. When I was facing difficulties, it was Amelia who extended a helping hand. Since she didn’t look down on me from the beginning, how could I look down on her? Alicia, you never intended to become friends with Amelia, and you could have had her carry your gratitude throughout her life. But… you were too hasty.” Rosalie continued.

Though there were words left unsaid, Alicia understood what Rosalie was implying.

She was too eager to turn the favor she had done for Amelia into personal gain.

If she had maintained that goodwill, when faced with actual danger, Amelia would undoubtedly seek help from Warren or the Youngblood family on her behalf.

Just like now, Amelia had gone to great lengths to seek the assistance of Warren and the Youngblood family in her quest to discover Riley’s whereabouts.

As it stood, even though Alicia now recognized her mistake, it was too late.
