Chapter 230 Unfairness
Amelia was rendered speechless, staring at Stephanie, who was kneeling on the floor.
Stephanie lifted her head slightly and took a glance at Amelia, and lowered her head once again. “Amelia, I was wrong. Would you please forgive me?”
At that moment, Amelia’s face was devoid of expression. It was evident that Stephanie deliberately did this in front of the family. If Amelia chose not to forgive her, it would cause Olivia to hate her without a doubt. After all, compared to Stephanie, Amelia was just a daughter-in-law. Regardless of how Olivia always said Amelia was like her own daughter, it paled compared to Stephanie, their daughter.
Nonetheless, it was tough for Amelia to forgive Stephanie as the latter had crossed the line.
When Amelia was struggling in her dilemma, Oscar stood up and decided for her.
Right then, Oscar wrapped his arm around Amelia’s waist and stared rigidly at the pretending Stephanie. “Get up.”
Lifting her head, Stephanie begged indignantly, “Oz, I’m truly sorry. Can’t you forgive me?”
Oscar repeated his words with a cold expression. “Get up now.”
Feeling desperate, Stephanie cast a helpless glance towards Olivia.
Right then, Olivia rose from her chair and uttered gently, “Oz, Stephanie is your sister after all. Don’t be so mean to her.”
Oscar bit his lips and responded in a rather composed manner. “Mom, Amelia and I will go back after lunch. If you and Dad miss Tony, you can visit anytime.”
Olivia furrowed her brows and shifted her gaze to Amelia.
With that, Amelia instinctively evaded her eyes.
At that instant, Stephanie added timely, “Amelia, please forgive me. If you do, I’m sure Oscar will too. Do you want to see my relationship with Oscar get broken like this?”
Amelia continued to lean against Oscar’s chest, without a word.
Upon seeing that, Stephanie started to weep helplessly, as though she was getting bullied unfairly.
Heartbroken, Olivia started to feel discontent with Amelia’s emotionless gesture. After all, the former had never seen Stephanie kneeled to anyone before, not to mention she was the princess of the Clintons.
Olivia’s feelings was beyond explanation.
“Amelia, since Stephanie has apologized, why don’t you just forgive her?” Olivia still sounded utterly gentle, but one could the pressure she was trying to give.
Upon hearing that, Amelia’s heart skipped a beat.
She let out an awkward smile. Just as she expected, Olivia would easily forget all the wrong things that Stephanie had done.
This is a unfair world after all.
“Mom, I…” Amelia choked on her words.
“Mom, I won’t forgive her. Before she truly repents what she has done, I won’t treat her as my sister,” Oscar spoke before Amelia could.
Upon hearing that, Olivia’s expression turned complicated.
Just then, Stephania jumped towards Amelia’s feet and hugged her leg like a beggar. “Amelia, it’s my fault. I promise I will treat Tony well from now on. I’ve done you wrong so many times. I’m sorry. Please give me one chance to repent, okay? I’m begging you, please.”
Amelia was now trapped between a rock and a hard place.
Right then, Olivia’s gaze towards Amelia had started to change towards accusation.
Sensing that, Amelia shuddered in stress.
Amelia knew her relationship with Olivia would surely be over if she did not forgive Stephanie this time. Nevertheless, she and her baby almost lost their lives in that accident. Her heart fell with a thud whenever she recalled Tony covered in blood.
No mother in this world could forgive someone who tried to kill her child.
No way. It’s unforgivable.
“Stephanie, get up now.” Oscar’s face turned utterly stern.
