Lawrence and Lillian were getting engaged.
Although Lawrence had completely disappointed Amelia and she planned to completely let go of the unrealistic love in her heart, but the moment she saw this engagement invitation, she still couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.
However, it was much better than before.
If it was before, she would have been too sad to take this invitation when Lillian told her that she was engaged to Lawrence.
Now, she could still pretend to be calm, accept the invitation from Lillian, and even smiled decently.
“Engagement!”
Amelia smiled elegantly, "I need to start to prepare the wedding gift then?"
"Maybe." Lillian didn't expect that Amelia would mention the wedding gift so bluntly. She who had always been persuasive, could only answer her slightly stiffly.
From beginning of the conversation, Lawrence kept staring at Amelia.
Originally, he was looking at her calmly. Seeing that she accepted the invitation with the poise and grace and smiled, he instantly became bitingly cold in his eyes.
He started to wonder whether she was so expecting him to get engaged to Lillian.
Suddenly, he felt so angry and especially wanted to break the neck of her!
“Wedding gift...”
Amelia was still smiling. Even with obvious scars on her forehead, she was still extremely beautiful.
“It's better give to the dogs than to you!”
Amelia tore up the invitation in her hand little by little, and slammed it on their face fiercely.
It was exactly hit on Lillian's face. Lillian was a little annoyed, but there were so many people around, she had to behave well. She could only pretend to be kind and aggrieved and said, "Amelia, I sincerely invite you. How can you do this to me?"
"What did I do to you?" Amelia was perfectly smiling, "Lillian, please accept my benediction!"
Amelia slowly looked towards Lawrence and said, "Mr. Dominic, I may you two live together till death. After all, a whore and an asshole, perfectly match!"
After saying this, Amelia casually turned around and left without looking back.
She remembered when he said Amelia and the dog were not allowed inside.
At that time when he trampled her dignity underfoot, she loved him and endured it.
Now, she didn't love him anymore. He was just a blind stupid dog in her eyes!
“Amelia!”
Lawrence's threatening voice came from behind, but Amelia did not look back.
Once, he always threatened her with Leigh, she compromised again and again, but now, he had eliminated her weakness and she was no longer afraid of him anymore!
"Lawrence, don't be angry, it's all my fault."
In afraid that Lawrence would abandon her in the crowd and rush up to chase Amelia, Lillian quickly grabbed his hand and said pitifully, "Lawrence, it's my fault. It was me that made trouble getting Amelia angry."
After hearing this, Lawrence was back from his anger. And he slowly retracted his gaze and said, "Lillian, it's not your fault."
