Chapter 232 I Am His Aunt
Amelia glanced at Kurt with a distressed look on her face before she said, “Kurt, didn’t I tell you before that you shouldn’t let anyone approach Mr. Anthony without my permission?”
Chagrined of himself, Kurt bowed to Amelia solemnly. “It’s my fault. I’ll be more cautious next time.”
Stephanie on the other hand was tired of feigning amiability.
“Amelia, how could you say that? I’m Tony’s aunt. Is it wrong for me to visit him and play with him?” Stephanie felt aggrieved.
After hearing Stephanie’s statement, Amelia gazed at Stephanie with gravitas and replied, “Stephanie, do you really think that a person who has attempted to murder Tony before should still be considered a family to him?”
Stephanie was reticent for a while before she answered, “I realize what I did was wrong, Amelia. I’ve already knelt down to apologize to you. What else do you want me to do? Mom always said that you are a kind and empathetic person. So, tell me. Why are you acting so cold toward me? Have you ever truly accepted me as your sister-in-law?”
Amelia was rather amused by Stephanie’s words. It’s impressive how she always manages to portray herself as the victim in any situation. If she keeps on doing this, she’ll never be able to acknowledge and reflect upon all the unforgivable deeds that she’s done.
“Stephanie, whether or not I see you as my sister-in-law doesn’t really matter now, does it?” With her arms crossed, Amelia was exuding a menacing aura. I’ve had enough of your bullsh*t, Stephanie!
Even if I came from a lesser family, I won’t tolerate your disdain toward me anymore.
Glaring at the serious look on Amelia’s face, Stephanie was stupefied. I can’t believe I’m being retorted by her right now. Stephanie felt ashamed of herself.
Stephanie let out a few coughs before responding, “Amelia, I’m just trying to mend the relationship between us. If you keep on treating me coldly, don’t you think that Mom will get upset?”
Fed up with Stephanie’s attitude, Amelia ignored her. She then turned her head toward Kurt and uttered, “Kurt, make sure you take good care of Mr. Anthony. Besides Oscar, Dad, Mom, Tiffany and me, no one else is allowed near him.”
“Yes,” replied Kurt.
“Amelia, what do you think you’re doing?” Stephanie had a sullen expression on her face.
Amelia glanced at her and sighed. “Stephanie, I’m sick of you pretending to be nice to me. It’s just abhorrent to me now. It’s honestly fine that you don’t like me, I couldn’t care less anyway. With that said, let’s just stop seeing each other from now on, okay?”
Stephanie gritted her teeth and faked a smile.
Amelia then turned her attention toward Kurt. “Take care of Mr. Anthony, Kurt. I’m heading outside for a while.”
“Yes.”
Seeing as Amelia was leaving the room, Stephanie followed after her. Ignoring me huh? Let me see how long can you keep this up.
“Amelia, where are you going?” Stephanie was being a nudnik to Amelia in order to annoy her.
Enraged, the veins on Amelia’s forehead were popping out as she clenched her fists.
“Amelia, I’ve discovered a new type of scented tea that is actually quite pleasant. Do you want to try it?”
Amelia kept on walking forward.
“Amelia, if you dislike tea, I’ll make you a latte instead. How does that sound?” Stephanie’s voice was getting louder.
