Chapter 594 Intentionally Ambiguous
Amelia liked her headstrong personality.
She then asked smilingly, “Do you need me to do anything?”
“Don’t. Mrs. Hisson knows that you’re my best friend, but she still made my life difficult. She likes Crystal a lot and already treats her like her daughter-in-law. It’s only natural that Mrs. Hisson doesn’t like me. I’m not highly educated or from a wealthy family,” Tiffany responded, shrugging her shoulders.
“I trust you. Don’t worry, as time will tell. I’m sure Mrs. Hisson will warm up to you after spending time with you.”
“I hope so.”
A sad look flashed across Tiffany’s face for a split second before she recomposed herself.
“So, what are you going to do about the Winters family? Are you going to keep in touch with them?”
Amelia cast her eyes down, hiding the sadness in her eyes. “I don’t think I would have any reason to keep in contact with them after Spencer is cured.”
“You’re too soft-hearted. If I were you, I would just cut ties with them. With the kind of power Oscar has, no one from the Winters family would dare to disturb you again as long as you don’t want it.”
Amelia gave her a small smile in response but said nothing.
“I will meet the Winters family tomorrow. I would like to see how many masks they have put on. They’re so unbelievably shameless,” Tiffany said as she cracked her knuckles.
“Don’t be rash, Tiff. No matter how horrible they are, they are my family.”
“You’re the only one who thinks of them that way. Do they treat you like family?”
Amelia fell silent.
“I’m sorry, Babe. That’s not what I meant. I just wanted you to open your eyes and see the truth. They are horrible people.”
“I know that.”
Tiffany gazed at her in silence for a long moment. “All right, all right. I trust that you know what you’re doing. It’s just that you would stand to lose out because you’re too soft-hearted. Be careful, okay?”
“I will.”
Tiffany and Amelia chatted for several hours. She only left when Derrick came to pick her up.
Tiffany sat in the car with her hand on her chin, deep in her thoughts.
“What’s wrong? You seem troubled,” Derrick asked.
Tiffany remained silent and just gazed out of the car window.
Derrick had never seen her behave this way. He was starting to get worried.
“What is it? Are you feeling unwell? Or did Amelia say something to you?”
Tiffany turned her head to look at him. “Not really. It’s just that her family is here, and they’re at the hospital.”
Derrick could not help but blurt out, “Amelia has a family?” It was no wonder that he thought that way. No matter what Amelia was going through, her family never showed up. “I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant. I just thought that her family members were no longer here.”
“I wish they were no longer here. They wouldn’t be able to hurt her, then. They’re a bunch of heartless monsters,” Tiffany spat through gritted teeth.
“What’s wrong?” He could tell that there was a secret about Amelia’s past.
Tiffany very quickly summarized everything that Amelia had gone through when she was younger.
After that, she shrugged and said angrily, “Why did they even become her parents in the first place? All they do is cause her trouble and harm her. Even if Amelia isn’t their biological daughter, they spent so many years as a family together. Don’t they love her?”
Derrick stretched his arm out and patted her head affectionately. “I know that you’re close to Amelia, but every family has its own problems. I think it’s best if you don’t get involved. If Amelia needs anything, I’m sure she will ask you for help. If she doesn’t, just pretend you don’t know anything.”
“So even you think that I’m being a busybody?”
Derrick chuckled lightly.
“Silly girl. You know that I’m always on your side.”
Tiffany shrugged and turned to continue gazing out the window.
