Chapter 308 You Broke My Good Stuff

Amelia pressed her lips tightly and glared at Jonny. "Even without Lucian, I never would have married you." Her voice was dripping with contempt.

Hearing these words, Jonny's face turned even redder, and his eyeballs bulged out their sockets to the point of nearly falling out. His clutch slackened, but he did not let Amelia go.

Amelia was all but choking under his hold, and breathing was becoming difficult. Unable to stand another minute of his abuse, she violently swatted away Jonny's hand.

Jonny came to his senses and lost his grip. He reached out to grab Amelia again, but she quickly slid out of reach.

Jonny didn't expect Amelia to resist, but it was okay. The more she resisted, the stronger his desire to conquer her. Before Amelia could escape, he opened her door, and reached inside to drag her out.

With the strength of Jonny's pull, Amelia almost ended on her knees on the pavement. Eventually, her strength failed her, and her knees gave out. She felt a sharp pain shoot up from where her knees hit the ground.

She frowned, trying her hardest to keep from crying out because of the pain. She glared up at Jonny, her eyes glittering with fury and unshed tears.

"Amelia, it's really not a good idea to insult me again." Amelia's words made Jonny furious.

He had known all along that she didn't like him, but what she said just now hit him where it hurt the most.

Lasers could have shot from Amelia's eyes as her anger burned white hot. Even in the dim lighting, the fire in her eyes was lethal.

"You should be ashamed of yourself for what you're doing!" Amelia didn't mean to say her thoughts out loud, but she couldn't help herself.

Jonny brought this upon himself, so why should s

ight, her heart finally felt at ease.

When Lucian moved her chin, a frown marred Amelia's brow. She tried to regain her expression, but Lucian was too quick and too close to miss it.

"Say something if you're in pain. Why do you have to hide it?" Lucian captured the slightest change in her expression, and his eyes flickered with a hint of pain.

Amelia's heart felt warm. "It doesn't hurt now," she whispered, her voice quivering.

"Take some medicine, shower, and go to bed early." Lucian tidied up Amelia's torn clothes. He was still furious at Jonny, but he held back his anger, afraid of scaring Amelia. He couldn't bear the thought of doing so, so he gently treated Amelia like a wounded animal.

Amelia looked at Lucian, silent, but her thoughts were loud. She couldn't contain her feelings for this man.

Noticing her gaze on him, Lucian didn't say another word. He bent down and captured her cherry lips with his own. Soon enough, the kiss turned from a butterfly kiss, gentle and tentative, into a strong and demanding one.

The events of earlier slowly disappeared from Amelia's consciousness as she savored the sweet warmth of Lucian surrounding her and the lips moving insistently and passionately against hers. Lucian's tenderness was addicting, and the unpleasantness of the night faded away.

"Cancel all collaboration projects with the An Group. From now on, we will not be cooperating with them!" As soon as Lucian walked into the office the following morning, he didn't waste a single minute and relayed these instructions to Eric, his assistant.

Eric was fully aware of the events of last night. It was the first time he ever saw Lucian that angry. "Yes, Mr. Lucian, I'll do it right away."
