Amelia’s move was actually slow which Lillian could have dodged, but out of some sort of sordid purpose, she didn’t even try.
Amelia didn’t mean to hold Lillian hostage, but now it seemed like abducting her was the best way to get money.
Lawrence’s heart’s was colder than she thought in mind. If he didn’t want to save Leigh, he wouldn’t give her money in a million years. Well, since he cared about Lillian that much, he might compromise to save her.
To Lawrence, Lillian’s life was much valuable than her.
While making up her mind, Amelia nudged the knife closed to Lillian’s heart. She can easily prick Lillian’s skin if she just added a little bit of strength.
Lillian than screamed hysterically, “Lawrence, help me! Amelia is crazy. She wants to kill me!”
Hearing Lillian’s screeching, Lawrence finally walked downstairs.
Seeing Amelia, his face darkened even more.
“Amelia. Let go of Lillian!”
“Lawrence, give me ten million yuan, or I will kill Lillian right away!” while speaking, Amelia pricked Amelia even harder.
Lillian’s face was ghastly pale and seemed to be panicking. But she was still acting. Her watery eyes were filled with tears, “Amelia, why are you doing this to me?”
“I know that you are mad at me because I have Lawrence now, but it was you who gave up him first. What did I do wrong? Why are you trying to hurt me once and once again?”
“Lillian, stop acting!”
Lillian’s hypocrisy made Amelia nauseous. She then said, “Lillian, why are you always faking? Won’t you be disgusted by yourself?”
Amelia then just ignored Lillian and looked at Lawrence while trying to hold back her tears, “Lawrence, ten million yuan or Lillian’s life?”
Actually, Amelia didn’t want to threaten Lawrence.
She wanted to tell me, ‘Lawrence, would you please save our son? He is really your own flesh and blood. You would regret it for your whole life if you don’t save him.’
But she knew deep down that he wouldn’t believe her, so she can only try to get the money using this kind of desperate measure.
“Lawrence, I’m in so much pain...” Eyebrows knitted, Lillian acted delicate.
Lawrence glared at Amelia and ordered fiercely, “Amelia, let go of Lillian!”
“I’ve told you. Give me ten million yuan or...”
But at the next second, the knife in Amelia’s hand was suddenly kicked away.
While the knife was kicked away, it cut Amelia’s wrist. Though it just was a shallow cut, Amelia’s wrist still started bleeding which was strangely beautiful.
Amelia drooped her face. Her move seemed so frigid and slow like the slow motions in movies.
Noticing the blood on her wrist, she suddenly started laughing wildly.
She still ended up losing miserably.
‘Lawrence, what happened to us?”
“Lillian, are you okay?” Hugging Lillian tightly in his arms, Lawrence was incredibly gently which Amelia hadn’t experienced for years.
“Lawrence, I’m so scared. Amelia was insane...” Lillian acted like she was frightened and was trembling in Lawrence’s arms, “Lawrence, I’m afraid...”
“Lillian, don’t be afraid. I won’t let anyone hurt you!”
Lawrence then glanced at the butler who was standing aside respectfully. The butler then called several maids to throw Amelia out of the mansion.
It was a world of ice and snow outside. Amelia’s consciousness started getting blurry, but thinking that Leigh was still waiting for her, she dared not to close her eyes.
Before she can even stand up, a mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth.
She would only spit blood before, but this time, it seemed like she can’t stop. There was constantly red blood coming out of her mouth.
Clenching her teeth, she rose to her feet slowly. Her shirt was then covered with patches of blood.
But she didn’t care all that. She was just walking forward step by step frigidly.
For a moment, she didn’t even know where she should go.
But after walking for a while, Amelia suddenly got on her knees and burst into tears.
What on earth should she do now so she can save Leigh?
After Amelia was kicked out, Lawrence was still staring at the lobby door.
He actually found it funny that Amelia would ask him for money. Didn’t she have Arthur now?
How wonton and vain was she! She can literally beg any men for money.
Because he was deep in his thought, he didn’t even realize that Lillian was about to kiss him.
He suddenly noticed what was going on after Lillian called his name.
“Lawrence, can I stay here tonight?” Wrapping his neck, Lillian whispered to his ears, “Lawrence, I miss you...”
