Addicted To Love - Chapter 325 Nicholas Was In A Coma

Amelia frowned and breathed heavily. The disgust in her heart was unspeakable.

It was just like what they said; like father, like son. Edmund and Jonny both spoke in exactly the same way and tone.

Amelia didn’t say a word about it on the phone. Edmund smiled to himself and said, “Nicholas has been the most powerful man in the business world in his life. Even after he was disabled, he still fought against me behind the scenes. If he only knew that Lucian and I met in secret, he’d probably be too angry to even sleep!”

Edmund said in a tone of voice that was filled with confidence. His voice reflected his happiness at Nicholas’ state.

Amelia didn’t make any sound, but she was almost at the end of her rope.

She never believed that Lucian would recognize Edmund as his father. She interrupted his confident tirade with words filled with hate. “If you think that blood relationship can change how a person sees you, then you are sadly mistaken.”

Her words made him stop laughing as expected. “What about you?” he asked in a sarcastic tone of voice. “Are you glad to know that you are the illegitimate daughter of Nicholas?” he continued with the same sarcastic voice.

At those words, whatever little respect that she had for him vanished immediately.

“Mr. Edmund, I never felt inclined to answer your insignificant questions. And I don’t plan to start doing so now,” Amelia replied in a slightly abusive tone. She was about to end the call after she said that but Edmund was able to call her attention to what he said and it prevented her from ending the call.

“Don’t make any quick conclusions. You may consider your father a victim now, but once you look closely, you might change your mind. Don’t you know how much of an asshole he was?” Edmund said hurriedly. It was like he sensed that she was going to end the call so he made sure that he’d be able to say everything before they got disconnected.

There was a brief silence as Amelia was rend

his cup is slippery and small. I was careless,” she explained as she tried to hide her nervousness.

“I know you and Edmund have been friends for a long time. But there are things that you have no right to reveal. Why would you even tell him about it?” There was a hint of anger in Lucian’s voice as his eyebrows slowly met at the center and became tense.

The words of Lucian made Fannie stiffen. She looked anxious. There was a long time of silence between the two of them. “Lucian, the reason why I did it was because I was hoping that Edmund would help you. I never did it to embarrass you,”

Fannie replied. She sounded regretful as she answered him.

“I am more than just embarrassed now. I am ruined!” Lucian roared at Fannie. His voice rang with the anger that pumped in his heart. His entire being refused the fact that he was a member of Edmund’s family.

“Nicholas has long known that you are the son of Edmund. This is why he has long prepared to make sure that you will never take over the company even though you are now in charge of the company. He just didn’t trust you!”

The main reason why she proposed to get separated from Nicholas was because she knew that the day would come that the real background of Lucian had to be exposed.

If she didn’t accidentally hear the truth, she would never be sure that Lucian was actually Edmund’s son.

“So what?” Lucian exclaimed unexpectedly. His manner made him look like he never really cared whether Nicholas trusted him or not. He then stared straight into Fannie’s eyes and then said, “I don’t care if I lose the Zhan Group. All I care about is my marriage with Amelia and my family.”

“So, you’d rather be with Amelia than to keep the Zhan Group?” asked Fannie.

“The Zhan Group was never everything to me. Taking over it was never my ultimate goal. He turned to one side as he took several deep breaths. His handsome face was marked with stubbornness under the light shining in from the windows.
