Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 140

Amelia pressed her lips as she felt sore all over her body that even her feet were numb with pain.

It was already half past seven but the sky was still visible. Shelly took out a bottle of water and downed it all in one gulp. "Do you want some?" she asked arrogantly.

Amelia looked away and said coldly, "Miss Shelly, this is not a TV drama. You can stop now."

Shelly was emotionless. She wasn't focusing her energy on controlling her anger instead she was playing tricks. She opened the bottle, held the bottle midair, and poured it on Amelia's face.

Amelia tried her best to dodge, turning to the side in an attempt to avoid the cold water splashing all over her.

However, Shelly was quick. Soon, Amelia was having trouble breathing with all the water pouring down on her, she kicked her legs helplessly.

"Hahaha..." Shelly laughed evilly. In a mocking tone, she taunted, "Amelia, do you want to know what you look like right now? If this gets out to the news, your squeaky clean image will be tainted. I don't think Lucian would find that attractive, wouldn't you?"

"Miss Shelly, I respect you. I know I promised I wouldn't be involved with Lucian anymore but now you're just being mean. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Amelia wasn't softhearted anymore. At the most, she merely tolerated Shelly but if Shelly wasn't going to be a decent human being then she was definitely going to fight back.

The mockery on Shelly's face was gone as it was replaced with a stone cold look. She stared at Amelia and said, "So I'm guessing you're showing your true colors now?"

"Sucks for you because I did feel guilty but at the moment, I don't have any left," Amelia answered coldly.

Shelly was irritated. She crouched down, reached out her hand, and raised Amelia's face by placing her finger on Amelia's chin. She said coldly, "So this is the face Lucian's so obsessed with, huh? I wonder what would happen if I scratched it. Would he still like it?"

Amelia stared at Shelly warily when she saw that Shelly had taken out a dagger. It gleamed under the light as Shelly gripped it with her hand.

It never occurred to Amelia that something she thought only happened on TV would happen to her as well. This was horrifying.

Shelly had completely lost her mind. Amelia knew she couldn't provoke Shelly any further—she had to look for ways then to distract Shelly.

The answer was pretty obvious: Lucian. If they talked about Lucian, she could stall Shelly a little bit longer.

"Aren't you curious how Lucian really feels about you?" Amelia didn't know what to say so she tried to talk nonsense.

To her surprise, it worked. Shelly paused as she gazed into Amelia's face with interest. "How Lucian really feels about me?" she pondered.

Amelia was quick to notice that upon the mention of Lucian, the anger and hatred on Shelly's face disappeared.

Amelia slowly blinked, trying to choose her words carefully as she spoke, "He told me if you behaved better, your marriage could actually last."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately felt bad for Lucian.

However, she had no choice as she had to stall Shelly and this was the only way she could do that.

"Did Lucian say that?" Shelly was a little skeptical. She took out the dagger again and drew it nearer Amelia's face.

Amelia would be lying if she said she wasn't scared—the dagger was so near her face. Just the slightest movement and her face could easily get cut.

"If you don't believe me, you can call him to confirm. I don't have a reason to lie anyway." Amelia coughed to cover up her lie.

"Call him..." Shelly echoed softly as if she was speaking to herself. Suddenly, she seemed to have realized something as she jolted and turned to look at Amelia. "If I call Lucian, he's going to find out where I am then he can come and save you. Do you think I'm stupid, Amelia?"

Shelly wasn't buying it at all.

Amelia felt a slight pain in her stomach as a burst of panic came over her. Her face was still wet and her forehead was sweating heavily.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain silently. Seeing the sky gradually darken, her heart started sinking. In desperation, she thought inwardly, 'Am I just going to die here along with my unborn child?'

"Are you afraid?" When Amelia didn't say a word, Shelly smirked. "I really don't understand why Lucian likes you so much. You're so stupid and oblivious! Thank you for your cooperation though. If you hadn't signed that divorce agreement, Lucian and I never would have gotten married."

Amelia had heard from Jonny that Shelly was behind the whole thing. At first, she thought that Shelly only did all of that because she loved Lucian but now, she knew that it was more than that–Shelly was crazy, insane, and violent.

Snidely, Shelly added, "Do you remember the time when that fruit vendor terrorized you? That was me! I planned that!"

"You!" Amelia was pissed off. She had thought that it was Edmund behind that incident but it turns out, it was Shelly who had planned the whole thing.

"I don't even need to do anything now. If I wanted to, I could kill you right here, right now," Shelly threatened, gnashing her teeth. At that moment, Shelly looked like a lunatic. She seemed to relish in Amelia's helplessness and anger.

Amelia looked at the dark sky as a thought came over her.
