Chapter 649: Side Story 26: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (24)

“How come you’re back so soon?” Sophie Ortiz asked when she saw William Lane.

“I came back right after work.” William Lane brought some fruit to Amelia Smith, then turned to Sophie Ortiz and said, “You wish I’d come home to find no one around?”

Sophie Ortiz narrowed her eyes as her maternal patience was wearing thin.

William Lane quickly changed his tone, “It was James who told me. But… he only told me after I got off work. So, you all ganged up to trick me. And you too.”

William Lane looked at Amelia Smith.

Sophie Ortiz unceremoniously smacked William Lane on the head, “What’s the matter? Picking on people? How did we trick you? Say it if you dare.”

“Mom,” William Lane looked at Sophie Ortiz, “I’m all grown up now, and you still hit me on the head.”

“How old are you? You are over thirty.” Sophie Ortiz said, “I have to remind you of this.”

William Lane: “……”

Amelia Smith was holding her laughter on the side.

“Amelia, if he bullies you, just call me.” Sophie Ortiz looked at Amelia Smith, her tone turned gentle, “I’m going to help Aunt Cruz with cooking.”

“Aunt, I’ll help you.” Amelia Smith stood up.

“No need.” Sophie Ortiz said, “Your hand is still injured, Rest well. We have plenty of people at home, I just want to join the fun.”

After Sophie Ortiz left, William Lane gave Amelia Smith a kiss.

Amelia Smith quickly looked around. The living room was full of servants, but luckily no one was looking at them. She whispered, “What are you doing? Restrain yourself, there are people around.”

William Lane smiled and ruffled her hair, “Miss Amelia, enjoying yourself, huh?”

“Yes.” Amelia Smith said, “Grandpa and the uncles and aunts are all very kind to me.”

“Yeah, my status is falling drastically.” William Lane laughed, “I didn’t know my status in the family could be such low.”

“That’s because they love you, that’s why they are so kind to me.”

William Lane pinched her face, “It’s because you’re good, you’re outstanding, they like you.”

Amelia Smith loved the family atmosphere of the Lane family, it was something she had never experienced before and had fantasized about countless times.

In the evening, Amelia Smith and William Lane stayed at the Lane’s home.

When she went back to her room to take a bath, William Lane went with Old Master Lane to his room.

Whenever William Lane was at home, before going back to his room at night, he would either accompany Old Master Lane back to his room, or go to Old Master Lane’s room to check on him, before returning to his room.

“Amelia is a good girl.” Old Master Lane sat on the bed, “I chatted with her in the afternoon for a long time, she talks elegantly and is very sincere. She is a kind and smart girl, and she is also motivated. I also know a little about her family situation.”

William Lane poured a glass of water and put the medicine Old Master Lane had to take before bedtime in his hand.

Old Master Lane took the medicine, “She’s a girl with a hard life. Must treat her well.”

“I know.”

“When she marries into our family, it is the same as when Lila and Amelie married into other families.” Old Master Lane said, “Lila and Amelie have the Lane family as their backbone. Even if something happens in the future, the Lane family will always be behind them, they can always return to a home. But Amelia has none, she turns around and she’s alone.”

William Lane listened to Old Master Lane’s words.

“Don’t ever bully her.” Old Master Lane said, “There are too many variables in life, and so is love. Especially in today’s society, with so many temptations in a colorful world. I know you’re a good boy, what I said is just a possibility.”

Although William Lane and his siblings were all grown up, Old Master Lane was always concerned about them, offering advice for anything: “In case there are any problems with your relationship, don’t do anything that wrongs her. Everything should be discussed and reasoned, and resolved peacefully. Ensure her future livelihood.”

“Grandpa, I know.”

“Of course, my greatest hope is that you two stay together for a lifetime.” Old Master Lane said, “So, don’t bully her, or make her suffer.”

“We will.” William Lane said.

Old Master Lane laughed, “I’m more worried about spoiling her, where will I get the heart to bully her?”

William Lane also laughed, tacitly agreeing with Old Master Lane’s words.

Once Amelia Smith moved in, she stayed with the Lane family for a whole week and showed no signs of leaving.

Even when Amelia Smith went to the Dance Association, she went with Sophie Ortiz.

The people of the Dance Association thought Sophie Ortiz was taking on another student.

After all, Amelia Smith’s excellence was obvious to all, and Sophie Ortiz liked her very much.

However… after further inquiries, everyone found out that Sophie Ortiz was not taking on a student, but a daughter-in-law.

Once this matter became public in the Dance Association, Sophie Ortiz was worried that Amelia Smith would feel burdened, so she talked to her about it after they got home.

At home, Amelia Smith obediently agreed.

Seeing how good-natured and soft-spoken Amelia Smith was, Sophie Ortiz still feared that she would be affected by those unpleasant rumors.

She still worried about her. However, a few days later, Sophie Ortiz found that Amelia Smith was only soft-spoken to them.

She could be very assertive.

For the next few days, she remained calm and did not confront anyone who was making ill-bred remarks.

Until… she figured out who was leading the rumors and who they were following.

Amelia Smith pulled that person from the practice room to the bathroom in front of more than a dozen people.

They were both in the restroom for twenty minutes, when they came out, the other girl didn’t look any different on the outside, but she was crying.

And she was clearly afraid of Amelia Smith.

Also, when someone asked her if Amelia Smith had beaten her, she adamantly denied it.

Afterwards, this girl was good in front of Amelia Smith.

No one knew what had happened.

But they knew that after that, the distasteful words disappeared — at least no one dared to say them openly anymore.

Sophie Ortiz was curious and asked Amelia Smith what had happened in the bathroom.

In front of them, Amelia Smith was still obedient and soft-spoken and looked easy to bully. But she actually answered honestly, “I beat her up.”

At that time, William Lane, Lila, Harton Clark, and Amelie Quentin were all at home. Upon hearing her answer, they all looked at her simultaneously.

Amelia Smith held a cup of hot water in her hand, and spoke softly, “I did some research beforehand on where to hit her that would hurt but not physically harm her too much, and also scare her.”

The entire living room was silent.

Amelia Smith continued, “I also observed her personality and knew how to scare her most effectively. We’re just young girls, very easy to scare.”

William Lane chuckled.

Lila also smirked.

Amelie Quentin picked up a cup from the coffee table and clinked it against Amelia Smith’s, “Sister-in-law, cheers. So that’s your style. Your appearance doesn’t match your personality. I even thought I’d scare you if I spoke too loudly. Turns out my sister-in-law is also a veteran of the world.”

Amelia Smith laughed uncomfortably.

Sophie Ortiz gently patted Amelie Quentin on the head, “What a bunch of nonsense.”

Amelie Quentin pouted.

Andrew Lane said, “This is good. It prevents her from being bullied outside.”

“Right.” Sophie Ortiz agreed, “You can’t stand anyone’s bullying, just do your thing, and have your family back you up. If anything comes up, let William handle it.”

Amelia Smith’s heart warmed.

William Lane: “……” He couldn’t even remember the last time his mother called him “William.”
