A sharp, sarcastic voice rang out, causing Steven to abruptly raise his head.
Astrid emerged from the villa, along with her secretary and bodyguards. She stood a few steps higher with her arm crossed and looked down on Steven.
Astrid sneered. “Who do we have here? Oh, if it isn’t Ms. Thompson’s secretary and my sister-in-law’s ex-boyfriend.”
Steven’s gaze turned cold. “What are you talking about?”
“So, you still don’t know anything. How pitiful!” Astrid clicked her tongue and shook her head. She then handed her phone to the secretary. “Take it, let this poor little secretary have a good look, and wake up.”
The secretary took the phone and walked over to Steven, placing the screen in front of him. It was a picture of the moment when Amelia helped Charles.
Due to the camera’s angle, their behavior looked incredibly ambiguous, with their bodies pressed closely together.
Steven felt like everything went dark, as if he had been struck by lightning. The thought of it was tearing him up inside.
“It’s impossible... How could this be?” Steven murmured in disbelief.
“Why is it impossible?” Seeing Steven’s devastated expression, Astrid couldn’t contain her laughter. “Our families have already agreed to the marriage alliance. My father and Uncle Wyatt have already decided on it. Ms. Amelia is going to be the Second Young Madam of our Iverson family. Look, they get along so well. Love requires the blessings of both families. Otherwise, it’s just mutual torment and a waste of everyone's time.”
“You liar!” Steven trembled all over, his eyes bloodshot with uncontrollable panic.
“Don’t believe me? Go ask Amelia yourself,” Astrid said, squinting her cunning eyes. “Ah, I suppose Amelia no longer wishes to contact you. Otherwise, why would you be standing here alone, unable even to see her?”
