Justin rested his chin on her head, rubbing it softly. “If my darling wants to target that woman first, I’ll arrange it.”
……
“Amelia… Why?!”
Steven was shocked when he heard they dismissed the lawsuit. He kneeled beside Amelia’s bed on one knee and held her sweaty hand tightly. “I could be your lawyer and fight against the Iverson family for you! We could definitely win this lawsuit! Why must we back down? We must duke it out with the Iverson family!”
“Steven… I’m sorry…”
Amelia was curled into a ball on the bed, hugging her knees, and looking at Steven with tearful eyes. “I know how you feel, but I’m sorry…”
The more she apologized, the more Steven felt as if his heart was strangled, draining his blood dry in agony.
What wrong did Amelia do?
The only ones in the wrong were that animal, Charles, and the Iverson family, who tried to cover it up.
“Steven, let this matter end here… Don’t stand up for me anymore.”
Amelia shook her head repeatedly with tears in her eyes. “After all, I’m Wyatt’s daughter. The Iverson family can’t do anything to me. But what would you do if they targeted you? If they tried to harm your family secretly, what would you do? Besides, Charles insulted me. Although he did not succeed in the end, how would your family see me if this matter got big?”
“Amelia…” Steven’s expression went blank, and he could almost hear his heart break into pieces.
At this moment, he finally realized something.
It turned out Amelia was not afraid of standing in the limelight or public opinion.
She feared the Lovett family would look down on her, failing to give them a good impression.
“Steven… Since I was very young, I dreamed of marrying you. Until now, I still want to take your last name.”
