Addicted To Love

"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 thi

that you've found a new job?" Lucian asked as he drove.

When he spoke, his tone was indifferent. Amelia felt a twinge in her heart upon detecting the coldness in his voice.

Even then, she knew he was only concerned about her. She fixed her gaze at him.

"Looks like you have a reliable source of information," she replied with a little sarcasm. Then, sneering, she said, "Lucian, you know I don't keep secrets from you."

At that moment, Amelia's words rung in the air.

Upon hearing this, Lucian felt a sadness overcome his heart. He said, "I don't understand why you want to hide anything from me in the first place."

She didn't ask him for any compensation in their divorce agreement and she still hadn't told him that she was pregnant with his child.

As much as Lucian wanted to talk about everything, they couldn't because Amelia seemed unwilling to.

He understood what she was worried about and he felt sorry for her but it's not like he could do anything about it.

"Why should I keep you updated? I don't see what's wrong with keeping a low profile." She turned her face towards the car window and decided to focus on the scenery outside, her eyes following the sunlight.

Lucian's lips twitched. After a while, he said, "Amelia, if your goal was to save the Zhan Group by sacrificing our marriage, you should know that I'm not going to thank you. If anything, I'll even blame you."
