Chapter 117 She Was Careless

• Amelia gazed at Lucas with a cold, indifferent look, realizing that her father was driven purely by self-interest. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of offer Alfie had made to sway Lucas into considering breaking off her engagement with the Carters.
• "First off, I had nothing to do with Mom's condition. She became ill because she thought you were having an affair. Even though she caused me difficulties, I put my education on hold to take care of her as a loving daughter.”
• “As for Sophia's arrest, that’s on her for posting a bounty on the Dark Web to have me raped and filmed. If her hired thugs got caught and ratted her out, that’s not my problem. I’m the one who was targeted. Did I pay Sophia to harm me? Did I teach her to be so reckless? And with regards to Alfie, are you prepared to ignore my engagement and brush me aside simply because his niece Freya has her sights set on Mister? Why should I agree to that?"
