Chapter 338
Amelia seemed genuinely interested in Yelena. However, Lila was taken aback by Amelia's introduction. This was not her usual style.
Amelia had grown up privileged, always enjoying the comforts of life, but she wasn't arrogant. She didn't flaunt her status. At least, from how she interacted with Lila and Teddy, it was clear that Amelia valued chemistry over status in
friendships.
The social standing of others didn't matter to her. After all, it was rare to meet anyone from a family more privileged than hers. But today, Amelia had
introduced herself with her full title.
Something wasn't quite right. As Lila studied Amelia's expression, the cold, domineering vibe only deepened her concern.
Yelena wiped her tears and extended her hand. "Ms. Joyce, hello. I'm Yelena, Terry's girlfriend."
Amelia glanced at her hand and gave it a brief, indifferent touch. Then, she walked over to Lila, casually hooking her arm around her shoulder.
Her tone was still lazy. "Dating, huh? How serious is it this time? Two months? Three?"
Terry immediately panicked. "Don't say things like that! I'll sue you for defamation!"
He loved the party scene, but he never took things too far. This was his first serious relationship; it was something that made him stand out in this circle.
Lila gently patted Amelia's arm. "Not feeling well?"
"Not really. Want to go for a walk with me?" Amelia glanced at Terry. "You can stay with your girlfriend. I'll take Lila with me."
Before anyone could protest, Amelia led Lila away. Once outside, Amelia's fake smile vanished. Her expression faltered, and it was clear her mood had soured.
"What happened?"
"What happened to you?" Amelia shot back.
"I left early yesterday, and look at you now. But Terry's more righteous than I thought. He deserves a 'Good Citizen' award."
Lila sighed, squeezing her hand. "Then why were you talking to him like that? You seemed off."
"It's not me who's off." Amelia clicked her tongue. "It's his girlfriend. She's really strange."
"Well, if he likes her, that's his choice. I came here to check on Terry. Thinking about everything that happened yesterday still leaves me shaken."
Lila frowned, her mind drifting to Michael. After a pause, she said, "I'm going to find my uncle."
Amelia pulled her back. "Are you in a hurry? You want to look for Uncle Kieran, right? For Michael?"
She smiled, and her mood seemed to lighten.
"I've looked into it. In Shannon's
case, Kieran handed all the evidence
to the police. Whatever crime she
committed, she'll face the
consequences. The sentence depends on what she did.
"For the Bolton Group, you probably know this already the Morgan family is in
the process of acquiring them. Michael's parents have been sent abroad."
Seeing Lila nod, Amelia continued,
"As for Michael himself, I thought he
might follow his family abroad and
start a new life, but I ran into him a
today. He's still an artist under Magi
Pictures."

Lila looked up. "So, what you're
saying is, Uncle Kieran hasn't gotten involved with the Boltons?" The

"Exactly. Kieran is magnanimous, but I'm sure it's because of you. That means that as long as Michael stays e out of Shannon's matters, he won't make things difficult for the Bolton family.

She couldn't help but frown.
"What's the situation with Pierre now?" she asked, holding back her disgust.
