Chapter 41 Long Time No See (2/2)

”Jonny, I thought you didn't want him to know about you? If you come with me, he'll definitely ask about you,” Amelia said.

”Don't worry. I'll protect you and make sure that Lucian doesn't misunderstand anything,” Jonny replied, grinning.

In reality, she didn't really mean it that way. She just figured she could go downstairs by herself to look for Lucian.

When they left the private room, Jonny led Amelia to another private room which was more crowded than the one they had just been in.

Inside the room, Nicholas was giving a toast to Edmund while Fannie chatted with Shelly. Shelly's mother was sitting by the side looking rather uncomfortable.

More importantly, Lucian was nowhere to be found.

”Oh, I thought it's someone else,” Fannie snorted as she cast an evil glance toward Amelia upon the latter entering the room.

Amelia was used to it. With an awkward smile on her face, she bowed to everyone and apologized, ”Sorry to interrupt you. I'm leaving now.”

The moment Amelia came in, Shelly was immediately seething.

It seemed that she didn't want to say anything bad in front of Edmund and Nicholas so she just merely glared at Amelia.
