Since She Met Lucian Chapter 135 I Want A Divorce

After a whole day's work, Lucian was a little exhausted. Unfortunately, these trifles were even more
worrying than all of his business matters.

Closing his eyes, he kept silent and tried to sort things out in his head.

"Mr. Lucian, shall I send you back to the SJ Garden now?" Eric asked tentatively.

"No. Bring me to a hotel somewhere close by." The villa was now a place that didn't have Amelia in it.
Going back would just bring in too much loneliness in his heart.

If he had a choice, Lucian would have gone to the Amelia's villa in the south city just so that he could
see her. But given with what had happened, he had to control himself.

Meanwhile, Amelia felt as if she had lost contact with the outside world. The only that kept her days a
little less boring was when Courtney turned on the TV in the morning, watching the news about the
current situation.

"Amelia, come and have a look!" Courtney cried out excitedly as she gnawed on a corn cob.

At that time, Amelia was cooking some soup. Turning the stove off, she walked to the living room
curiously. "What is it?"

"Look. The An Group is really owned by someone else now," Courtney said, pointing at the TV. "Jonny
has taken over the company."

A shiver ran up Amelia's spine, her eyes widening in disbelief. On the screen, Jonny was dressed in a
black suit, beaming widely. There were reporters all around him, and he was answering all their
questions eagerly.



"Amelia, you must be quite a catch! Both of the men vying for you are so incredible. If ever you don't
end up with Lucian, you can always fall back to Jonny!" Courtney exclaimed as her eyes were firmly
glued onto the screen.

'Why did Jonny do that?' Amelia thought, ignoring what Courtney had said. 'I thought he wasn't
interested in the An Group...'

"Hey, why are you so quiet?" Courtney asked, waving her hand in front of Amelia's face. "Aren't you
happy? This is good news for you!" Courtney turned off the TV and lightly shook Amelia's shoulder. It
wasn't enough bring her out of her daze however. Then she burst into laughter, "I can't help but feel so
thrilled at the thought of the old saying that the lovers finally get married..."

"You just want to be back with Kent," Amelia said as she rolled her eyes. She couldn't understand why
Courtney was so excited about this.

She thought Courtney was just happy about her getting back with Kent. In reality, Courtney was
actually talking about Amelia and Lucian.

Later that afternoon, Lucian received a call from the hospital that Shelly had woken up.

He was already planning to go to the hospital before he got the call. And so, right after hanging up, he
immediately drove to the hospital.

As soon as he walked into the ward, the first thing he noticed was Nicholas and Fannie. With a straight
face, he walked over towards them.

"Hi, Lucian," Emma moved aside and smiled politely.

Nicholas also smiled at Lucian, looking as gentle and kind as usual. In contrast, Fannie did not look as
if she was too pleased to see him. "Lucian, in case you've forgotten, Shelly is your wife," she



reprimanded him. "How can you be so careless!"

Narrowing his eyes, Lucian just sneered angrily at Fannie.

"Mom, please don't blame Lucian," Shelly said in a weak voice.

Immediately, Fannie looked over at Shelly with worry written all over her face. But, she then turned
back to Lucian and glared at him with even more anger. "You listen to me carefully," she said, pointing
a finger at him. "A woman who loves you will always forgive you for whatever wrong you might do. A
woman who doesn't love you will leave you once you get into trouble."

It was obvious that Fannie was directly attacking Amelia. At last, Lucian couldn't control his anger any
longer. "Wasn't Amelia the one I really chose? The person who I got married to? Did you even ever
treat her as your daughter-in-law? And don't act so immaculate. You know exactly why Amelia divorced
me!"

Fury surged up in Lucian's heart.

Fannie gritted her teeth as she looked at Lucian with scorn. Quickly, she turned to Nicholas, hoping that
he would back her up. "Since Shelly doesn't blame Lucian, let's just leave it in the past," Nicholas said
in a flat tone. "Let's maintain the good relationship between the An family and the Zhan family. Any
arguments will lead to the complete ruin of our harmony."

Hearing this, Fannie squinted her eyes in disbelief.

"Nicholas is right. Let's just pretend this never happened." Emma nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Shelly looked at Emma with resentment, endlessly cursing in her heart.

"Emma, I'm just trying to defend your daughter. So what now? Are you telling me I got into all that
trouble for nothing?" Fannie sneered coldly.



"You know me better than that, Fannie. We have been friends for so many years after all," Emma
hurriedly explained.

Crossing her arms over her chest, Fannie raised her eyebrow at Emma. "Maybe you should accept the
fact that you're just docile, Emma," she snapped back.

Although Emma was taken aback by what Fannie said, she just flashed a faint smile.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Nicholas cried out, clenching his fist.

"Was there something wrong about what I said?" Fannie continued. It seemed like she wasn't planning
to go down without a fight. "Really, Emma... You are no better than a servant in the An family. No
wonder people always bully you --"

"Just stop already!" Lucian interjected. There was a look of hate and disgust on his face as he glanced
at Fannie. "Auntie is a humble woman. Despite that, she gets a lot of respect from other people.
Meanwhile, people only know about you because you're such an awful person!"

It was really disappointing for him whenever Fannie teased other people like this.

Emma was such a kind-spoken person that it was difficult for him to just ignore Fannie's words.

"Ha ha, do you think you can ignore me just because I'm your aunt?" asked Fannie, who was sensitive
enough to decipher Lucian's words.

"Mom, Lucian, stop arguing," Shelly said in a strained voice.

"Hush now, Shelly. Just rest and don't worry about it," Fannie said as she stroked Shelly's hair. "As long
as I'm around, I'll make sure you and Lucian stay together as husband and wife."

"Do you really think Amelia and I care about what's written on paper?" Lucian snorted.



"That woman is no longer a part of this family. Never mention her again!" There was so much hate in
Fannie's heart for Amelia that she couldn't even bear to hear her name.

With a bitter smile, Lucian gazed at Fannie. "Whether I mention her or not, it does not change the way I
feel about her. Besides, the only reason I came here today is to tell Shelly that I want a divorce." It was
like Lucian dropped a bomb that shocked everyone into silence.

"W-what did you say?" Fannie stammered in disbelief.

"Tell me this isn't true..." said Shelly, laboriously trying to prop herself up. "I love you, Lucian! How can
you do this to me!"

The An Group was already in Jonny's hands. Plus, Lucian had a lot of evidences against Edmund.
There were also so many despicable things that Shelly had done.

Shelly was well-aware of this, and just tried her best to look pitiful so that she wouldn't provoke him any
further.

Nicholas, on the other hand, knew why Amelia had chosen to leave when she did. She had sacrificed
her own marriage just to save the family business. Because of this, he had gained respect for her.

Meanwhile, Emma was thinking about she treated Shelly that same way as Jonny, even if Shelly was
totally an unexpected child for her. It was just that Shelly often acted too recklessly, and rarely cared
about others' feelings. When Shelly and Lucian got married, Emma already knew that Shelly must have
had some tricks in her sleeve. Because of this, she wasn't that very enthusiastic about their marriage.

More important, it was obvious that Lucian didn't care about Shelly at all. If they went on like this, it
would do no good to both sides.

"You know who I love." Lucian looked at Shelly and said calmly.



"Please... please," Shelly begged, feeling utter panic. "You are the only one I've loved all these years,
Lucian! Even if you don't feel the same way, I feel so happy to see you every day and be your wife. I
can't imagine myself without you. Please..."

At this point, Shelly had sacrificed a lot of things just so that she could be with Lucian. If he left her, it
would have been all for nothing.

Agreeing to a divorce was completely out of the question for her.

"Shelly, ever since you married me, you should have anticipated what would happen today," Lucian told
her expressionlessly.

Of course, Shelly knew what he meant. Biting her lip, she just looked wordlessly at Lucian.

"Are you really that heartless? Shelly is still in the hospital bed. Aren't you being too harsh on her?"
Fannie defended.

The only reason she said this was not because she wanted to help Shelly out, but rather she did not
want Amelia and Lucian to get back together. After all, Amelia was not as easy to use as Shelly. What's
more, she was still trying to get control of the Zhan Group.

Even after all this time, Fannie just could see Lucian as her biological son. Maybe if he treated her
badly in the future, there was a chance she would gain support from the Zhan Group.

"I'm sorry, but if you keep interfering with my own personal business, the more I'm obliged to stay
farther away from you," Lucian countered.

With a pale face, she stared at him in disbelief. "Is it really so wrong to care about Shelly?"

"If you really want the best for me, you should respect my decisions." After all, he was a capable man.
He was very independent, and knew how to handle his own affairs.



"I see... You don't want to listen to me at all now. If you insist on divorcing Shelly, then don't bother
calling me your mother anymore!" Fannie said angrily. "If that's what it takes, then so be it," Lucian
shrugged.

Hearing this, Fannie was completely taken aback. She had thought that maybe Lucian would've
changed his mind when she said that. Although it was true that Lucian was grateful that Fannie had
raised him, his priority was taking care of Amelia. There was no one else in the world he loved more.
What's more, she was carrying another life inside of her.
