Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me-Chapter 56: Making Trouble
"Fine. You’re crazy, and I can’t control you. But I can call your parents and have them come see what a mess you’ve become. You’re an absolute disgrace to them." Cassian Jennings was truly infuriated by her this time.
He had let the previous incident slide, chalking it up to Amelia Avery’s youth and immaturity. But now that she had dared to hit Gia, he saw no reason to keep indulging her or letting her run wild.
"Don’t call them!" Seeing Cassian pick up his phone to call her parents, Amelia instantly lost all her nerve and scrambled to snatch the phone away.
Cassian had anticipated her fear. He held the phone high out of her reach. "Heh... If you don’t want me to call, fine. Get out of here right now!"
"Cassian, you’re going too far! How dare you treat me like this for a woman like her!" Tears instantly streamed down Amelia’s face. ’Why is he doing this to me? Why? What’s so wrong with me?’
"What kind of woman is she? Amelia, don’t think so highly of yourself." Seeing her cry, Cassian felt a pang of sympathy, but he still spoke the cruelest words.
’He had promised Aiden Avery he would make his sister give up for good. He couldn’t go soft now. Besides, he had only ever seen Amelia as a little sister.’
"Cassian..." Being berated by Cassian in front of so many people, Amelia felt an overwhelming sense of grievance. ’No one had ever treated her like this in her entire life.’
She squatted on the floor, wrapped her arms around herself, and began to sob her heart out.
Mika Summers watched the small, slender, and lovely girl squatting on the floor, crying so heartbrokenly, and her own heart ached in sympathy.
’She had been about the same age when she fell for Tristan Grayson. Back then, Tristan was just a heartthrob on the screen whom she didn’t know personally. Her fangirling had been intense, bordering on obsessive.
To feel closer to her idol, she would watch every TV show and movie he was in over and over again, until she knew the lines by heart and could recite them with her eyes closed.
To feel closer to her idol, she would obsessively watch his commercials all day long, hug his posters while grinning foolishly for hours, and lie awake all night.
But now, her own dream had been shattered. Just like the young girl before her, she was experiencing the same agonizing heartbreak.’
Lost in these thoughts and observations, she began to cry as well.
She stood up, walked over to the young girl, and gently patted her back. "It’s okay," she comforted in a hoarse voice, "don’t cry anymore."
Tristan Grayson had looked up when she stood. Now, seeing her go to comfort Amelia Avery, his brows furrowed slightly in confusion.
When Amelia Avery heard a woman’s voice comforting her, her first thought was of that bitch, Gia Miller.
After all, besides Gia Miller, everyone else here was a man.
Furious, she looked up, about to retort, "Mind your own business." But when she saw the woman in front of her, her eyes widened in shock. After a long moment, she choked out, "You’re Tiana’s sister-in-law?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Mm, yes." Mika was a little stunned to hear Tiana’s name, but she quickly smiled and nodded.
Upon receiving confirmation, Amelia’s tears started flowing again. She threw herself into Mika’s arms and sobbed, "Sister-in-law... take me away from here..."
"Okay." No one understood what Amelia was feeling in that moment better than Mika did. She, too, choked back a sob as she agreed.
