Chapter 247
“Holly Molly!” Amelia exclaimed. “I’m starting to believe that bloodlines really have some kind of mysterious power!
“You don’t know how stunned I was when I saw Vince inside waiting! Yes, yes, just like Teddy’s expression right now.”
Teddy quickly adjusted his expression. “What about Vince?”
“When he saw me, he was obviously shocked, too. I wanted to leave right then,
but my dad wouldn’t let me. He practically forced me to stay.”
Jamie nodded. “So my brother was probably being pressured too.”
“Exactly! You guys have no idea. Being stuck in that locked room and being forced to talk felt like some old-fashioned arranged marriage!”
Amelia hugged her head and sighed. “After I got home, I ran away that night. I was afraid my dad would find me, and I hardly used my phone this entire week.
“I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I came here to escape for a couple of days. “Speaking of which, I have to turn my phone off, or the calls will keep coming in.” “By the way,” Amelia said as she turned off her phone and continued, “I recently heard something about Dorian. Do you want to hear it?”
The three of them shook their heads, signaling that they weren’t interested.
Amelia’s fiery gossip spirit immediately fizzled out.
“Nope, not an option. I’ll say it anyway.”
She snorted. “You know that trending topic a while ago? It said that Mr. Morgan was your uncle.
“Didn’t Mr. Morgan handle that issue? But then, I dug a little deeper and found out that Dorian actually started the rumor.”
The three of them fell silent.
Teddy furrowed his brows. “He’s really strange. On one hand, he’s begging Ms. Hart to come back, but on the other hand, he’s doing things to hurt her.
“What happened after that? The news got suppressed, so he must be pretty unwilling to let it go. Why hasn’t he come to bother Ms. Hart?”
“He couldn’t. Because of the previous public opinion, Dorian couldn’t even get any decent collaborations.
“Then Uncle Kieran stepped in, and now his resources are worse than even those of fourth or fifth-tier companies.”
Amelia laughed disdainfully. “The
most important thing is, he got hit by
someone and almost died. Now,
he’s left with only half his life hanging on.
“Do you guys know who hit him?”
She glanced at the three people before her, then her gaze finally landed on Lila.
Lila frowned. “Zara.”
It wasn’t a question, but a statement.
Although she didn’t know that Kieran had been suppressing the trending topic of had investigated the original culpat, for some reason, she was certain that it was Zara who did it.
“Wasn’t she in jail?” Jamie asked.
Amelia replied, “She just got out, but now she’s back in for attempted murder.”
The three of them fell silent.
After a long while, Teddy broke the awkward silence. “Ah, this topic is boring. Let’s talk about something else like Ms. Hart’s birthday party in a few days.”
“What gifts have you prepared?” Amelia, with her carefree personality, was quickly distracted.
The group started chattering, but Lila’s mind wandered elsewhere.
She had seen Kieran a few times lately, but he hadn’t mentioned the trending
topic at all.
Had he helped her out like this more than once before?
Lila suddenly felt even more guilty toward Kieran.
The Morgan family had raised her for many years, and in the end, she had used
Kieran’s marriage to improve her own reputation and future.
