Chapter 454


    Thssa tumed at the sound of the voice to see a well-kept woman of about fifty. Her skin was pale


    and smooth, with barely a wrinkle to be seen.


    But time had a way of marking us all. No matter how well someone maintained their skin, the years


    would always leave their trace.


    It was apparent from her eyes and demeanor that she was a woman of a certain age.


    She was dressed in a flowing skirt, a stylish blouse with a floral cor, a wristwatch, pearl earrings, and


    a tinum ne, and her hair was styled in loose waves. She radiated an air of aristocracy.


    Thssa was certain she didn’t know this woman. She politely inquired, “Hello, how may I assist you?”


    The woman seated herself directly across from Thssa. It was obvious that her gaze was filled with


    prejudice and dissatisfaction. “I’ll cut to the chase. I am Amelia Sinir, Leopold’s mother,”


    Thssa’s eyes widened slightly, and she immediately greeted her respectfully. “Ah, Amelia. Nice to


    meet you.”

    “You’re quite attractive. You’re certainly capable of ensnaring men.” Amelia crossed her arms as she


    scrutinized Thssa with her malicious gaze.


    Thssa was patient and polite, but Amelia left her feeling ufortable.


    She realized that Amelia’s visit wasn’t going to be pleasant.


    Sheughed lightly and responded, “Amelia, you are still quite the beauty. I wonder how many hearts


    you’ve managed to captivate.”


    Amelia’s face darkened at Thssa, and she huffed. “You haven’t even stepped foot into the Sinir


    family, and already you’re so sharp-tongued. Thssa, I’ll make it clear. I don’t like you. I hope you can


    keep your distance from my son.”


    Thssa’s knuckles whitened where her hand rested on herp. She met Amelia’s gaze unflinchingly.


    “Amelia, while you warn me, perhaps you should also keep your son in check and stop him from


    pursuing me. I have absolutely no intentions towards him. I just want to live a peaceful life without any


    disturbances.”


    Amelia’s face turned even more sour, and her breathing became irregr. She leaned forward in her


    seat as her eyes narrowed on Thssa. “If you weren’t leading him on, would he be so devoted to


    you?! only have one son. He’s such a promising young man, and because of you, he’s emotionally


    drained and depressed. Not too long ago, he almost lost his life because of you. Can’t you just let him


    go?”


    In her harsh words, Amelia’s deep love and fear for her son were evident.


    Though Thssa was taken aback, she felt sympathy.


    She too was a mother and could understand Amelia’s fear of losing her only child.


    Thssa softened her tone. “Amelia, I’ve been doing my best to distance myself from him. After our


    breakup five years ago, I never thought about getting back together with him. If you’re worried that I’m


    the one clinging to him, you don’t have to


    “Five years ago? You have the audacity to bring up your breakup with him?” Amelia scoffed. “Back


    then, after you broke up with him, he cried and didn’t eat or drink for days. He threatened to harm


    himself if he couldn’t marry you. If it weren’t for his brother, Lysander, persuading him to enhance his


    prospects and study abroad he would have been ruined by you. How could you be so cruel? You were


    so lovey-dovey when you were together, and then when you broke up, you were so ruthless You almost


    drove him to his death!”


    Amelia’s words felt like a knife to Thssa’s heart. Her breath hitched.


    She had no idea that Leopold had been so devastated after their breakup.
