Sophia nodded eagerly. "Yeah, I'll be happy with you! By the way, how far along are you now? I heard you're breaking up with Mr.Howard?"
Amelia shot her a look, signaling to keep quiet in front of Owen.
Then,avoiding Owen, she spilled everything to Sophia.
"So,you and Mr. Howard?" Sophia asked, worried.
Amelia rested herchin on her hand, looking a bit helpless, "What happens between us depends on Chris's reaction. We'll just take it one step at a time."
Meanwhile...
"Leila, tell me the truth. What's the deal with that woman? She looks exactly like Amelia, but you all denied it. What's really going on?" Diana asked urgently as soon as she got in the car.
Leila told the driver to start the car and glanced bitterly at Chris's Ferrari not far ahead.
Since that day, he seemed to have completely forgotten her presence,treating her like she was invisible.
Was it because she crossed a line? But he had confirmed he would marry her.
It was all because of that bitch Amelia!
"Mrs. Spencer, I have suspected that woman several times to be Amelia.but she won't admit it, and there's nothing we can do. I'm just worried she
has some plan to hurt Chris. Nevertheless, Chris is very concerned about her," Leila said cautiously, her voice full of helplessness.
Diana frowned. "Really? But what about the kid?"
"The kid is Sophia's son. Sophia was Amelia's best friend, and now she's friends with Bella, who looks like Amelia. It's quite a coincidence," Leila said in a suggestive tone.
Diana snorted, "There are no such coincidences. I think Amelia is up to something. Why doesn't Chris do something about her? What's he thinking?"
Leila was secretly pleased to hear this, "Mrs. Spencer, it's better to be careful. Chris is very attentive to her, and now she has Mr. Howard backing her. She's not easy to deal with."
"Shut up. I thought you were capable, but after all these years,you've made no progress. Let me tell you, if you can get pregnant with Chris's baby. I'll accept you as my daughter-in-law," Diana said coldly.
Her mind was now full of thoughts about children. The child she had just seen, who looked so much like Chris, had already occupied her mind and wouldn't go away.
Leila was thrilled but kept her excitement inside, looking at Diana obediently, "Thank you for your support, Mrs. Spencer."
On the weekend, Victor organized a family dinner to welcome Diana,and Amelia was also invited.
She attended with Lucius, as they hadn't officially broken up yet.
"Diana will probably probe you again," Lucius said, opening the car door
for Amelia.
She nodded, "I know, but I'm not afraid."
As expected, as soon as they appeared, all eyes were on them, especially Diana.
She looked at Amelia and Lucius holding hands and said meaningfully,"This Ms. White looks so much like the previous Amelia. Every time I see her. I think she's Amelia. I can hardly get usedI to it."
Amelia said nothing, following Lucius forward, greeting Diana politely,and then sitting on the nearby sofa.
Victor smiled and switched topics, then headed to the study with Lucius to talk business.
As soon as they left, Amelia was left unprotected in the living room.Not wanting to deal with the Spencer family relatives, she headed straight to the small garden outside for a walk.
Shortly thereafter, someone followed her out. Amelia recognized the footsteps and knew who it was.
"Where were you the night before last?" Leila demanded, standing in front of her. "If it weren't for someone telling me you had sex with Chris,I wouldn't have known how shameless you are!"
Amelia and Chris not only made love but also went to the hospital afterward, indicating how intense it was.
And now she had the nerve to act like she had no relationship with Chris,showing up with Lucius in front of everyone.
Amelia was nothing but a filthy, despicable whore. "You already know, so why ask?" Amelia didn't even look up, busy replying to a client's message on her phone, not wanting to waste time on such a boring person.
Leila was so angry she nearly fainted. "Shame on you! You fucking slut!"
"Anything else?" Amelia glanced at her indifferently. "By the way, in what capacity are you attending the Spencer family dinner? You and Chris haven't broken up yet? He betrayed you, and you decided to tolerate it?"
"Shut up. bitch!" Leila trembled with rage. "Why should I break up? I won't let you get away with this! Not only will I not break up with him, but I'll also marry him! As long as I'm accepted, you will always be a shameful,sneaky adulterer!"
Amelia shrugged. "Suit yourself."
Leila actually took action.
During dinner, she seized the moment to speak her mind. "Chris, yousaid you would give me an official engagement ceremony. I think next Saturday would be perfect. How about we schedule the ceremony for next Saturday?"
Her words made everyone at the table react differently.
Amelia continued eating her food calmly, as if she hadn't heard a thing.
But she could clearly feel a sharp, burning gaze fixed on her, as if trying to see through her.
"Chris,what do you think?" Victor put down his utensils and asked.
Chris nodded but didn't say much.
He was like one of those annoying bosses who never spoke directly,making everyone guess.
Victor glared at him. "Make it clear. What does nodding mnean?"
Chris finally put down his utensils.
"Tll listen to you." His words were ambiguous.
Victor seemed to hear a joke. "That's rare.Since when do you listen to me?
Amelia and Lucius acted as if nothing happened, with Lucius even giving Amelia a piece of braised beef. "This is delicious, you should have some."
"Look, there's another couple here, grandpa." Chris raised an eyebrow and glanced at Victor. "Lucius hasn't even gotten engaged. How can I have my engagement before his?"
"Stop changing the subject." Victor glared at him.
Chris didn't care, his cold gaze sliding to Amelia. "What do you think,Ms.White?"
"Amelia and I have been busy lately, so we don't have plans to get engaged for now," Lucius retorted.
"Really? I find that hard to believe." Chris's voice sounded again. "Could the recent rumors be true? Are you two breaking up?"
