Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Stella's body trembled, and she turned around in disbelief, only to see a face that filled her with fear.

Stella said, "Chris, you're here too."

Stella lowered her head guiltily, not even daring to look at Chris.

But she was also puzzled.What's going on? Chris had always looked down on that bitch Amelia. Why he suddenly cared about her?

"I'm asking you a question." Chris stopped in front of her,looking down at her with a powerfu aura.

Stella trembled all over with fear and instinctively sought help from her mother. UJna had to smile and say, "Chris, since you're back, you should go see your grandfather. He's waiting for you in the study."

"You're right." Chris raised an eyebrow and smiled, then turned to leave.

He had always been capricious; everyone had grown accustomed to it.

Stella let out a heavy sigh of relief.

But then Chris spoke again, his voice cold, "I heard you've always wanted to further your studies at the university your father attended. Forget about it. I'll find you another school. How about leaving tomorrow?"

"What do you mean?" Stella was directly confused.

"How about Sahara University? Leave here tomorrow. Don't disappoint my good intentions." Chris added indifferently.

"No way!" Stella was shocked, "Sahara University is in the coldest city in

the Northern Hemisphere. I'm most sensitive to the cold, Chris.Can I not go there?"

She still couldn't figure out why Chris suddenly interfered in her affairs for no reason.

Una reacted quickly and hurriedly said, "Stella, apologize to Chris right now, and from now on, you must respect Amelia!"

Stella was stunned and said in disbelief, "Mom, you..."

"Why apologize to mne? Did she bully me?" Chris said indifferently, "Your parenting style is really concerning."

If not him, then should Stella apologize to Amelia? Una didn't have time to think about why he suddenly became abnormal, but it didn't matter. The two of them just needed to follow Chris's implication.

"Alright, I will have Stellą apologize to Amelia immediately." She hastily pulled Stella upstairs.

This scene was all seen by Lucius in the corner of the second floor.

At this moment, Amelia was sitting in Victor's study, chatting with him.She liked Victor very much, not because he was still the head of the Spencer family, but because he was optimistic and kind, always caring for her. So every time he was at home, her days were much better.

"Amelia, when do you plan to have a child with Chris? Let me have the chance to hold my great-grandson as soon as possible, okay?" Victor smiled and pushed a plate of sweets in front of Amelia,his eyes as friendly as ever.

Amelia didn't respond but lowered her head shyly, tucking a strand of

hair behind her ear.

Victor laughed heartily and asked Amelia what she had been up to recently.

"Grandpa, I recently found a job playing the piano at a restaurant. A few days ago, I got promoted and became the head of the band. My salary has increased several times." Amelia said happily.

Victor was stunned, "You found a job? What's going on? Did Chris ask you to,or..."

"No, Grandpa, I was just bored staying at home alone, so I thought it would be good to go out and work. It's better than doing nothing at home every day." Amelia wasn't good at lying. When she lied, she would unconsciously look to the left, so she had to lower her head and pretend to rub her hands.

Victor gave her a meaningful look but didn't say much.

They chatted about other topics. Amelia felt that Victor's mindset was still very young. He could handle any topic with ease and even asked if she wanted to set off fireworks together later.

They were having a pleasant conversation when Stella knocked and came in.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Why do you look so down?" Victor immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly waved Stella over.

Stella glanced quickly at Amelia, her eyes full of unwillingness. But thinking of Chris's stern face, she had to lower her head.

"Grandpa, I'm here to apologize to Amelia." Without further explanation,

she walked straight up and bowed to Amelia, "Amelia, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have talked back to you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

She thought this was enough. She had never been so respectful to anyone before!

"Amelia, what happened? Did she talk back to you?" Victor frowned at Amelia.

Amelia smiled indifferently. "It's not a big deal, Grandpa. Take it easy."

She didn't even look at Stella. This wasn't the first time Stella had bullied her. She had mocked her many times before, brought outsiders to laugh at her, and even once pushed her into the lake in the backyard in the middle of winter.

Amelia wouldn't forget these things; this apology held no significance.

"Stella, what on earth are you troubling Amelia for this time?" Victor,

clearly aware of the situation, looked particularly displeased.

Stella looked at Amelia, her eyes sharp, as if saying, 'I've already apologized,what more do you want?

"Grandpa, it's not something serious. Stella just mocked me a couple of times as usual, called me a bitch, and tried to trip me to embarrass me in public." Amelía comfortingly held Victor's hand. "Grandpa, I'm not that fragile. These little tricks can't hurt me, and I won't really hold it against her."

She said she wouldn't hold a grudge, while revealing Stella's actions at the same time.

Stella's face changed instantly. This bitch was crazy. She had already

apologized, and Amelia stillreported her to Grandpa!

She glared at Amelia and coldly rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I..."

"Shut up!" Victor slammed the table and stood up. "You dare to speak to Amelia like this in front of me. I can only imagine how excessive you are behind my back. You don't need to attend today's family dinner anymore.Go to your room and reflect on your mistakes. When you truly realized your mistakes, apologize to Amelia properly, or I will never forgive you!"

"Grandpa. Grandpa, I already apologized. Just now, she even stepped on my foot,tearing my stockings!" Stella cried with tears in her eyes, grabbing Victor's hand, trying to plead for herself.

"If you didn't provoke Amelia, would you suffer the consequences? Stella,you disappoint me too much!" Victor angrily shook her off and turned to leave.

"Grandpa, watch your step." Amelia carefully supported Victor, "Calm down; anger can take a toll on your health."
