Since She Met Lucian Chapter 107 A Victim In The Marriage

"Don't be so hypocritical, Amelia. It was only a coincidence that you ended up marrying Lucian. You
were so cocky, thinking that we were beneath you. Look at you now–you're left with nothing. You think
you can just come running back to us and start treating us again like your family as if nothing
happened? Shame on you!" Yolanda had to restrain herself. Then she snorted and added sarcastically,
"You thought you were so much better than everyone else just because you married into Zhan family.
When in reality, you're nothing but a mistress."

The look on Amelia's face shifted. She wanted to fight back as she didn't expect that Yolanda would
attack her like this. With a cold look on her face, she said snidely, "Aren't you exactly the same way?
Don't you like eating other people's leftovers?"

Amelia knew that Yolanda would definitely grab this chance to talk back at her. She wasn't going to let it
happen anymore—she was carrying a child and this was just not healthy for her. She didn't want her
child growing up with all these kinds of negativity. So no matter what, she was going to fight back. She
wasn't going to let Yolanda step all over her anymore.

Upon hearing this, Yolanda glowered at her. Snidely, she said, "Well, you and Jasper didn't even sleep
together and you really consider Jasper as your leftovers?"

Amelia was taken aback at this. She didn't expect that Yolanda would go this far. She sneered at her.
"Doesn't matter. I never enjoyed the meal anyway."

"Amelia, looks like you're learning a thing or two about talking back. Well, I don't want to argue with you
anymore. I pity. Everyone abandons you and it seems that no one likes you," Yolanda said sharply,
scowling at Amelia.

Eyeing Yolanda's bulging belly, Amelia bit her tongue back. She didn't want to fight with her anymore.
In a low voice, she said, "For the sake of your baby, I'm going to let this go."



Amelia decided it was time go back to work especially that Yolanda was here now. She took off her
apron and walked around Yolanda, intending to go to the living room to say goodbye to Vernon.

"Oh my God!" Yolanda cried in pain as soon as Amelia walked past her.

Amelia turned to look at Yolanda. Yolanda was lying on the ground with her one hand clutching at
Amelia's leg. With much difficulty, Yolanda said, "Amelia, I know you don't like me but leave my baby
out of this! This is my and Jasper's child! This is my life!"

All of a sudden, Yolanda screamed. If Yolanda wasn't grabbing Amelia's leg, Amelia would have left
already. It was quite obvious that Yolanda was just acting after all.

"Yolanda, what's wrong?" Upon hearing the noise, Jasper suddenly came rushing in. The scene he
chanced upon pretty much told the story itself—Yolanda was on the ground and was pulling Amelia's
leg with her hand. He then turned to Amelia and asked sternly, "Amelia, what did you do to Yolanda?"

"I was just standing here, minding my own business when your wife suddenly grabbed my leg. Why
don't you ask her?" Amelia said coldly to Jasper upon seeing him come in.

Jasper had been holding a grudge against Amelia ever since she refused to lend him money. Now was
his chance to get back at her. He then helped Yolanda up and without wasting another second, he
turned to Amelia and slapped her across the face.

Amelia was completely taken aback—she hadn't realized what had happened until she felt the sharp
twinge on her face.

Soon, tears had streamed down her face.

"Jasper, she's your ex-girlfriend. How could you hit her like that?" Yolanda was leaning against Jasper's
chest and was shooting Amelia death glares. She spoke as if she was reprimanding Jasper when in



reality, her tone was laced with satisfaction.

Amelia gave Jasper a dirty look who then bit his lips, still looking angrily at her as well.

"Amelia, don't try me!" After he spoke, he wrapped his arms around Yolanda as if to protect her.

Yolanda seemed very proud as if she was pleased with herself.

"Try you? What the hell did I do?" Amelia sneered as she eyed the two of them. Slowly, she said, "If
your baby comes out anything like the two of you, I'm sure he'll be an excellent actor."

"Jasper, she pushed me so hard that I fell! Are you just going to let her get away with it?" Yolanda
whined after Amelia had left. Apparently, to her, it wasn't enough that Jasper had slapped Amelia.

"Come on! I did that to protect you and wanted to teach her a lesson!" Jasper said coldly as he shook
off Yolanda's hand.

Amelia clearly heard Jasper but she just ignored him, pursing her lips as she walked into the living
room. Vernon was sitting on the sofa and had a strange look on his face as he watched her approach
him.

For some reason, Amelia felt a chill run down her spine.

"Does this bother you?" she said snidely, referring to Jasper hitting across the face. She glanced at the
cake on the tea table and said, "Well, your daughter and son-in-law are here so I guess there's no need
for me to be here anymore. Happy birthday anyway."

With that, she grabbed her bag and left. From the distance, she heard Vernon call out her name in a
hoarse voice.

Despite the beautiful sunny day, Amelia was in a foul mood.



She raised her head as tears spilled from her eyes. In an attempt to make herself feel better, she took a
deep breath.

The intersection near the mansion was crowded with cars. Luckily, Amelia was able to hail a taxi.
However, just as she was getting in the cab, she felt a pair of hands grab her. She figured it was Jasper
but when she turned her head, she immediately froze from head to toe.

"What a coincidence!" Lucian said with a gentle smile on his face, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Needless to say, Amelia was confused. Looking at Lucian, she felt as if her heart was beating a mile a
minute. Once she'd gathered herself, she stood up straight and put on an indifferent look on her face.

Lucian gave the taxi driver a look that prompted him to drive away. Amelia ignored Lucian and intended
to hail another taxi.

"Where are you going? Let me drive you." Lucian flashed her a smile as he grabbed her hands.

"Thank you for offering but I'd rather take a cab," she refused without hesitation.

"Well, all right. If you're not in a hurry, you can take a cab then." With a slight smile, Lucian stepped
back.

Amelia didn't understand what he meant. They weren't at the SJ Garden where it was difficult to hail a
cab so it's not like she was going to be late for work.

However, ten minutes had passed and not a single car had driven by. Confused, she couldn't help but
wonder, 'Did Lucian know that there weren't going to be any cars passing by?'

She kept darting her eyes back and forth, waiting for a taxi or any car to pass by.



"What's wrong with your face?" Lucian hadn't noticed the red mark on Amelia's face until she turned.
The minute he caught sight of it, his heart tightened, his eyes were immediately filled with worry.

Amelia touched her face unconsciously and looked up at the sky then she blurted out, "It's just from
standing too long under the sun."

If the other side of her face had the same red mark then this would be believable. However, it wasn't.
Obviously, Amelia was lying.

"Come over here." Lucian grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him.

Amelia's initial instinct was to resist but by then, Lucian had already picked her up, afraid to hurt her.
He warned, "If you move, I'll kiss you."

Amelia huddled in his arms and looked up at his handsome face nervously.

His scent was so familiar that as it lingered in her nose, her face started to flush.

Lucian then brought her to the passenger seat. He looked at her affectionately and said gently, "I just
want to drive you home. That's all."

Perhaps it was the look in his eyes that made it difficult for Amelia to refuse. Until he started the car,
she remained calm.

She thought of Shelly and all the things she'd told her.

"I heard that you've found a new job?" Lucian asked as he drove.

When he spoke, his tone was indifferent. Amelia felt a twinge in her heart upon detecting the coldness
in his voice.



Even then, she knew he was only concerned about her. She fixed her gaze at him.

"Looks like you have a reliable source of information," she replied with a little sarcasm. Then, sneering,
she said, "Lucian, you know I don't keep secrets from you."

At that moment, Amelia's words rung in the air.

Upon hearing this, Lucian felt a sadness overcome his heart. He said, "I don't understand why you
want to hide anything from me in the first place."

She didn't ask him for any compensation in their divorce agreement and she still hadn't told him that
she was pregnant with his child.

As much as Lucian wanted to talk about everything, they couldn't because Amelia seemed unwilling to.

He understood what she was worried about and he felt sorry for her but it's not like he could do
anything about it.

"Why should I keep you updated? I don't see what's wrong with keeping a low profile." She turned her
face towards the car window and decided to focus on the scenery outside, her eyes following the
sunlight.

Lucian's lips twitched. After a while, he said, "Amelia, if your goal was to save the Zhan Group by
sacrificing our marriage, you should know that I'm not going to thank you. If anything, I'll even blame
you."
