Since She Met Lucian

As soon as the words left Yolanda's mouth, she turned in an attempt to leave but was surprisingly blocked by Amelia.

"What are you doing?" Yolanda struggled for a while but she was no match for Amelia. She angrily shouted, "Amelia, just because you married Lucian it doesn't mean you can get away with things! Let me tell you right now: marrying into a rich family doesn't solve your problems."

Amelia sneered, staring her down. "You're always going to want what I have and I'm sorry to tell you this but Lucian will never be interested in you."

Amelia was being so confident that it was almost out of character.

She didn't know that for a fact about Lucian but for some reason, when she was saying it, she knew that it was true.

Yolanda's face turned white as a sheet. In an attempt to save face, she grabbed Jasper's arm and said, "Did you hear what she said? She thinks you're just one of her leftovers!"

Jasper's face turned gloomy and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. However, when he looked at Amelia, he said softly, "Amelia, as long as you're happy."

"Of course!" Amelia's eyes were gleaming and it was difficult to make out what she was really feeling.

After the luncheon, most of the guests had already left. Amelia figured it was time for her to leave as well. However, Vernon suddenly approached her and took her hand.

"Amelia, how about you? When are you and Lucian going to get married? When are you going to have the ceremony?" he asked. Vernon was still wearing his festive Tang costume and he seemed even happier than usual.

Amelia was rendered speechless. She didn't expect that her father would ask about her and Lucian's marriage in such a straightforward manner. Plus, their marriage was just a fake. There was no point in holding a grand wedding ceremony for a fake marriage.

After all, it was Lucian's decision too to keep a low-key profile.

After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Dad, Lucian and I are already married on paper. He's too well-known. If we hold a wedding, media coverage will be crazy and I just can't handle that. It would wear me out."

Her resentment toward her father stemmed from when her mother passed away. After a while, it began to fade especially when he grew ill. When that happened, she just tried her best to support him and not cause him any stress.

"I know that you're always thinking of other people but I'm still your father and it's still my dream to see you get married with a grand wedding. Besides, it's not like you've known Lucian for so long. In the future, that might..."

"Dad, it doesn't matter that I just met Lucian. Things just work out that way sometimes. Lucian and I met at the right time. That's why we got along so well. You don't need to worry about us." Amelia tried to keep her tone as easygoing as possible so as to comfort her father.
