Chapter 231 Lucian Was In Danger (2/2)

spired together, but it was fairly clear that they were in disagreement, too.

”You see, a woman must capitalize on a man's vulnerability. That's why I took Lucian in when he was down. I was the one who took care of him when he needed it most. And for that he would always remember me,” Shelly declared with a triumphant smile.

'A man's vulnerability...' There was something about that line than hinted for Amelia.

Lucian was in a bad mood lately, but he tried to treat her in the best possible way he could. Perhaps, that was the root of their misunderstanding. Amelia could not help thinking that she had greatly neglected Lucian.

”If you really love Lucian, why did you hand him over to Jonny? Are you not aware of Jonny's intentions for Lucian?” Amelia spiraled down due to the emotions that overwhelmed her.

”Lucian's capture was practically his own doing. He refused my courtship right away!” Shelly said bluntly. There was no hint of shame in her tone.

Amelia felt relieved with the news she had just heard. She felt proud that Lucian kept the sanctity of their marriage. No less was expected of him.

However, having her husband's loyalty was beside the point. Amelia needed to know where they had hidden her husband.

”Amelia, don't you dare play tricks with me. Don't think for a second that you can escape from me!” Shelly fashioned a cold face. She gave a glance at Amelia and held a dagger to her victim's throat. She then said with a malicious smile, ”If I can't be with the man I love, the same goes for you...”

”I will not beg for my life. If you really intend to kill me, then do it. Do you think Lucian will love you for doing so? Do you think you'll be able to survive in prison? At least, I have enjoyed my life. Yours will be filled with only suffering,” Amelia said indifferently. Once again, she had hurt Shelly's ego.

”Well, if you're not afraid to die, I can arrange something worse just for you!” Shelly raised the dagger she held and prepared to slash Amelia's face.
