Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 64

“Arthur…”

Amelia hugged Arthur vigorously, just like an abandoned child who reunited with his family again.

She felt aggrieved, and had so many things to tell Arthur, but when the words came to her throat, only his name was spitted out.

Amelia felt that in life, some things were really marvelous sometimes. Because there were such kind of people in the world whose name we only needed to call out and we would feel so warm.

Lawrence narrowed his eyes, staring coldly at the two people who were hugging tightly with each other. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but there was something violent and hideous in his eyes.

The looks on Rufus’s face became particularly ugly. He felt he was cheated by Amelia. If not, how could this shameless woman who wanted to seduced him one second before fall into the arms of other men in the next second?

Lillian was slightly stunned because she did not expect Arthur to return home so soon.

But she was good at facial expression management, and after a moment of effort, she was socially active again.

She stepped forward, acting like a good sister, and said affectionately to Lawrence, “Lawrence, you are back! I believe there must be a misunderstanding tonight. Amelia must have her own reasons for her to drug Rufus."

Lillian was seeming to speak for Amelia. But actually, her words thoroughly confirmed the matter of Amelia’s drugging Rufus.

Amelia was not stupid and of course she understood the profound meaning of Lillian’s words. Just as she was about to tear the hypocritical mask on her face, Arthur had already spoken first.

“Amelia drugs Mr. Moss?”, Arthur smiled and released Amelia, patting his hands lightly. Then a person walked into the room.

Lillian's expressions changed suddenly when she saw the people who walked in.

She turned out to be the waiter who helped Lillian deliver the wine to Rufus's room!

But Arthur has just returned to China, how could he find this waiter?

It seemed that Arthur understood Lillian, and then he kindly solved her doubts.

“Lillian, my sister, you are very surprised at that I has found Catherine, right? I rushed to find Amelia as soon as I got off plane today. But she was neither in her apartment, nor in the hospital. I was very anxious so I asked Mr. Nie to check it for me. Therefore, I knew Amelia had come to the charity party.”

“I was anxious to meet Amelia. She was here and of course I came here. But you know what? I just went to the hallway to answer a phone call and unexpectedly bumped into Catherine whispering to her friend. What a coincidence!”

“To my surprise, I seem to have discovered a great secret. You know what? Someone is trying to frame my Amelia.”

Without giving Lillian a chance to speak, Arthur looked at Catherine with a smile, "Catherine, could you please tell me, who on earth ordered you to bring that glass of red wine to Mr. Moss’s room? Miss Amelia, or my dear sister, Miss Lillian?"

Lillian's expression changed drastically. But before she could stop her, the waitress had already spoken, "It's Miss Lillian!"

"Nonsense!" Lillian screamed, "I didn't do anything at all! Why did you frame me like this?"

Lillian suddenly turned around and stared at Amelia, "Amelia, my sister, why do you do this? It is you who want to have affair with Mr. Moss, and even if you failed, it's your business. Why do you have to set me up? "

Catherine was an upright girl, and she was not happy to hear Lillian’s words to confuse right and wrong like this.

"Miss Lillian, what do you mean by this? It is you that gave me that glass of red wine. And you asked me to give it to Mr. Moss. In addition, you asked me to tell Mr. Moss that it was given to him by Miss Amelia."

"You are my idol. I like you, and I think that you are just as honest, warm, and kind as the public persona you are making up. Therefore, I believe that you are really doing good things for Miss Amelia by sending this glass of wine, just to help her connect with her old friends."

"But to my surprise, you added something to the wine, and you asked me to send this glass of wine only to harm Miss Amelia!"

"Miss Lillian, I'm so disappointed in you! And I will never like you again! I'm telling you, from now on, I'm totally pissed at you! What’s more, I'm your number one anti-fan now!"

After saying this, Catherine took a large stack of money out of her pocket and smashed it on Lillian.

"I don't want your dirty money!"

“I…”

Lillian was smashed so badly. Her delicate make-up face turned blue and white, and the look on her face was indescribably bad.

But Lilian was not an ordinary person, and just in a flash, she regained her composure again.

She calmly said, "Catherine, right? Catherine, I have no hatred with you. And I don't understand why you frame me like this. I haven’t met you until tonight, how can I bribe you?"

“Catherine, I’m very sad for you doing this.”

Lillian turned her face and looked at Amelia with tears in her eyes, "Amelia, I know Catherine works for you, and she just hurts me on purpose. Amelia, I don’t blame you, seriously, and I just beg you. Please, please don't hurt me anymore, okay? You are my sister after all!"

Lillian rushed into Lawrence's arms weakly, " Lawrence, don't blame Amelia, okay? I know she does this only because she hates you for saving me but giving up Leigh. I have also been pregnant. And I know how sad it is after losing a child. I understand Amelia’s suffering, so Lawrence, can you forgive her?"

Seeing this phony woman Lillian acting as if it were real, Amelia almost wanted to laugh. It was true that Lillian had the ability. No matter how vicious things she did, she had the ability to push the blame to others.

Catherine was amazed by Lillian’s hypocrisy. After a while, she said with a look of admiration, “Miss Lillian, you deserve to be a super actress. I admire your acting very much!”

"Miss Lillian, I have something honest to say and I don't know if I should tell it."

Without Lillian’s permission, Catherine continued, “Miss Lillian, it’s a good thing to use your acting skills in your work. As an actor, you should work hard. But if your acting skills are used in life, you know what, it’s lousy."

"You are acting both in and out of the play, and I am tired of you! Catherine, I don’t know why your acting skills are so perfect. But I know that there is a monitor in the party hall. To confirm whether you had given me money and asked me to send the red wine, let’s check the monitoring records and truth will reveal itself."

"Oh, you knew what, I also know that you has held the glass, and in your opinion, should we take the opportunity to run a fingerprint test, when we adjust the monitoring?"

Catherine's lips curled up with an innocent smile, and she pointed to the cup on the bedside table, "Yes, it's this cup! I bet there is Miss Lillian's fingerprints on it!"
