Chapter 331
Hearing the outright rejection, Amelia almost laughed in anger.
“You ungrateful brat! I’ve treated you well these days. At least save me some dignity.”
Teddy was firm in his stance. “I can’t do that. I can help you beat up scum and find
a man for you, but marrying you is out of the question.”
She laughed in frustration. “Why don’t you find me a man then?”
He scratched his head. “There aren’t many good men in the entertainment industry. After comparing them all, none of them are better than Vince.”
She was speechless. Lila, who had been trying hard not to laugh, wasn’t sure if Amelia was genuinely oblivious to Teddy’s feelings or if he was just joking around.
Amelia looked at the upright young man through the rearview mirror and ground her teeth. She might have thrown him out of the car if they hadn’t arrived at their destination.
Upon getting out of the car, Teddy sighed. “This is the first time I’ve ridden in such a nice car. The last time was Ms. Hart’s.”
Amelia quickly corrected him. “You’re mistaken. You’ve ridden in something even more expensive.”
“If you’re talking about the high-speed rail or trains, then yes, they cost more than this.”
Amelia approached Lila. “Is this guy always like this?”
Lila smiled. Teddy was a bit too innocent. The three of them walked inside, and Amelia nudged Teddy with her elbow.
“Have you ever sat in Mr. Morgan’s car? Now, that’s a real luxury car. It’s a limited edition worldwide. Do you know how many of them there are?”
Lila didn’t catch what they were whispering about, but she saw a familiar figure turning a corner ahead when she looked up.
“I think I just saw Terry.”
“Those rich heirs come here often, so it’s nothing surprising,” Amelia replied casually.
Lila nodded. She actually wanted to ask if Terry had a girlfriend, as she noticed a woman clinging to his arm earlier. But after thinking about it, it didn’t seem necessary to ask.
Amelia led her inside. The private room wasn’t big, just enough for five. She looked at Teddy, her eyes sparkling as she sat beside Jamie, lost in thought.
Halfway through the night, Lila stepped out to go to the washroom. As she turned down the hallway, she saw a couple leaning against the wall Kissing She quickly averted her gaze.
“See no evil,” she thought.
Just as she was about to walk around them, the man suddenly spoke. “Lila?”
She paused and glanced over. Holding the woman in his arms, Terry looked awkward.
He was caught up in the excitement of his new relationship, couldn’t resist, and ended up kissing her outside. He also regretted shouting Lila’s name earlier.
“Are you in a relationship?” Lila asked, her curiosity making her speak before thinking.
This question only made him even more embarrassed. He quickly stood up straight and adjusted the woman in his arms.
“Yeah. This is Yelena Griffin,” he said, introducing her. “Yelena, this is Lila Hart, a good friend of mine.”
The two nodded, and he asked, “What are you doing here?”
Lila wasn’t the type to enjoy this kind of environment, and with the
Morgan Group behind her, no one
would dare ask her to join for
drinks. She didn’t seem drunk, either.
Terry was slightly relieved.
“I’m here with Amelia, Teddy, and Jamie. We’re just hanging out,” she replied.
“They’re waiting for me, so I’ll head back now.”
They both nodded and bid her
goodbye. After the night ended, as
Lila was leaving with Amelia, sheran
into them again. She supported Amelia as they walked out, while Yetena supported Terry.
Lila asked, “How are you guys getting home?”
Terry rubbed his forehead. “The driver will pick us up soon. What about you? If it’s inconvenient, I can have our driver take you.”
Amelia, who was half-hanging on Lila, said, “No need. We have a driver coming for us, too.”
Her gaze landed on Yelena. She didn’t recognize her, so she must be from outside the entertainment industry.
Yelena nodded slightly at her in acknowledgment.
