Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 114

Would they make peace with her before resorting to force?

Amelia narrowed her eyes at her so-called family members. She was glad that she wasn't drunk.

"Amelia, even though I'm your elder sister, you're more sensible than me. Let me give you a toast with a glass of milk. Please forgive me for whatever I did, and I hope we'll call each other sister one day!" Yolanda raised her glass of milk and gulped it down.

Amelia was stunned by Yolanda's words. Her bewildered eyes gazed at the girl sitting in front of her for a long time.

'She tried to heal the grudge I had against her with just one sentence?' Amelia thought, feeling indifferent to the scene, just like a stranger.

"Don't just sit there. Let's eat." Vernon's voice was stern when he snapped Amelia out of her daze. He asked the servant to help her in getting her bowl of food ready.

Sophia ate the last bite of her meal and turned to Amelia. "Do you and Lucian plan to remarry?"

Amelia's fingers holding the chopsticks trembled. The dish fell onto the table. Her restless eyes closed, and she started taking deep breaths to calm her heart.

"I don't know." Her tone was cold, but she regretted answering the question. She should've ignored it.

Jasper coughed to get everyone's attention. "Let's not dwell on such topics. Come on, cheers!" He raised his glass and swallowed his drink.

In the CEO's office of the Zhan Group, Lucian stood in front of the window with a hot cup of coffee in his hand. His deep-sea like eyes gazed on the brightened city below him.

Eric walked into the office, cuddling documents in both hands. Before he spoke respectfully, his face sported a grave look. "Mr. Lucian, I have some clues about that matter."

Lucia turned around and frowned, putting the hot coffee on the desk. He asked calmly, "Tell me all about Edmund's dirty little game." His icy cold eyes stared at the files in Eric's hands.

Eric opened the file and handed a sealed document to Lucian.

He expected Lucian to scream in rage after going through the document, but that wasn't the case. Eric noticed a disdainful smile on the corners of Lucian's lips.

"We'll see how long Edmund can maintain the relationship with money." Lucian took another sip and continued to look at the document.

"Edmund relies on his power. Shareholders weren't delighted with what he had said in the board meeting. Most of them were even willing to withdraw their shares," Eric said sternly.

Lucian's icy look turned colder. "Back then, he took over the business from my father in the name of friendship and became the executive president of the An Group. He even managed to reach the top and forgot all about the help he had received from my father. And now, he wants to destroy the Zhan Group!"

His fist tightened in anger after remembering Edmund's past.

"So, you were initially unwilling to accept An Group's help during the crisis?" Eric's eyes were filled with admiration.

Lucian scoffed and turned the page. "Edmund deliberately put a bowl of poisonous chicken soup in front of me, and I ended up drinking it all."

"I think you made the right choice." Lucian couldn't lose his dignity just because he accepted An Group's help. Instead, it could become an excellent opportunity to fight back. That was what Eric thought anyway.

Eric had been with Lucian for a long time. He had joined just after the establishment of the Zhan Group, and he knew Lucian too well. Eric was a perfect candidate for handling such matters.

When the crisis happened in the Zhan Group, Eric had believed that Lucian could find a way out.

"If you see through your enemy's strategy, you can win a hundred battles easily." Lucian looked at the sky. The corners of his lips curved up. "This time, I'll rip off his mask and destroy An Group once and for all!"

"The major shareholders are ready to stand beside Zhan Group. After all, the Zhan Group is more sincere." Eric smiled.

"We are sure to win, but we can't relax. Before we get control, we must remain cautious." Lucian was a prudent man, but he was overly cautious this time. Edmund was famous for playing tricks under the table. Lucian couldn't take him for granted.

"I understand." Eric nodded. Just as he was about to leave the room, he remembered something and turned to Lucian. "Mr. Lucian, there's something I have to tell you. I couldn't get anything from Jasper."

Lucian snorted, "Because he thinks that the start-up capital for that project is at hand."

"Then, should we find some other way?"

"No need. I've thought of a perfect plan." Lucian didn't believe that Jasper could be calm all the time.

It was already noon after the meal at Mo mansion.
