Chapter 1330
Lte''s unfriendly reply hurt Amelia since she was so concerned and worried about Amelia. Anyone
would have felt the same way as Amelia did.
However, Amelia, as a mother, chose to put that aside and not argue with her daughter. "That''s good. I
was so worried about you. I heard from the caregiver that you were screaming and smashing things in
the room. On top of that, your room door was locked. I was so afraid that something had happened to
you, and I immediately rushed over. I''m relieved that you are fine." Amelia smiled as she patted her
chest. However, Lte just nced at her without saying a word.
"Amelia, what exactly happened that made you act like that? Did someone bully you? You should tell
me about it. I''ll help you out," Amelia asked again.
Hearing that, Lte scoffed, as if she had heard the biggest joke. "You''ll help me out? How are you
going to do that? Toby and that woman, Sonia, are the ones who pissed me off! Do you dare to
confront them?" Lte looked at her mother with disdain, as if she was looking at a useless person.
Amelia was lost for words after hearing that and merely kept quiet as words got stuck in her throat.
"Don''t simply make promises if you can''t keep them." Lte pushed her away and stood up.
"I didn''t know it was both of them." Amelia looked at her dejectedly. If it was someone else, Amelia
could have been able to help her. Lte couldn''t be bothered to reply to her and started kicking at the
mess on the ground. Noticing that she was doing that while barefooted, Amelia immediately tried to
stop her. "Lte, what are you doing? Don''t get yourself hurt."
"You don''t have to care about me. I''ll take care of my own matters," Lte replied impatiently.
"How can I not care about you when I''m your mother? I know you''re mad at me and your father for not
being able to help you out, but we can lend an ear when you''re feeling down. Please tell me what
actually happened earlier. What have they done to make you so furious? Even though I won''t be much
help, I can convey it to your Grandpa, and he will find a way around it." Amelia pulled her to the side of
the bed, and both of them sat on it.
Lte, who was struggling to get up, suddenly stopped after hearing Amelia''s words. Seeing that,
Amelia knew that she had said the right thing. She let go of Lte''s arms andforted her, saying,
"Tell me about it, Lte. Don''t keep everything to yourself, as it won''t be good for your mental health."
With that, Lte turned to look at her and nodded before finally revealing the reason she was
throwing a fit. Amelia sighed after finding out that Toby went to work with Sonia''s lipstick mark on his
cheek.
Amelia could now understand why Lte was so furious about it, as she knew how much Lte
loved Toby. She would be mad too if she saw the man whom she loved being kissed by another
woman. On top of that, the lipstick mark was left on his face for everyone to see. She couldn''t stand
how Sonia snatched Toby from Lte and even left her lipstick mark on his face for Lte to see.
She felt sorry for Lte as she looked at her and, at the same time, felt strong dislike and disgust
toward Sonia for hurting her daughter.

"Sonia must have been the one who forced Toby into it," Lte suddenly blurted as she gritted her
teeth.
"What?" Amelia was confused by her words.
The next moment, Lte leaned in closer to her and spoke as her face contorted with anger. "I was
saying that Sonia purposely left the lipstick mark on Toby''s face and forced him to go out in public with
it and show it to me. I embarrassed her two days ago and revealed my feelings toward Toby in front of
her, and now, she is getting back at me using this way as she tries to tell me that Toby belonged to her.
She was the one who paid the paparazzi to take these pictures and post them online. What a b*tch!"
"Is that really so?" Amelia asked cautiously.
Hearing that, Lte grimaced and uttered, "Then what do you think it is? She hadn''t done something
like this before, and she''s doing it now after I had embarrassed her. She is purposelying at me."
Although Lte''s rationale seemed off, Amelia chose to believe in her words. "She''s indeed a vicious
woman." She then clenched her fists and chided, "Even though we had embarrassed her before, we
were victims of cyberbullying too, as ourpany''s share price had dropped because of her, and it
hasn''t recovered. It''s a price that we had to pay, but she still thinks that it wasn''t enough and used such
nasty tactics toe at us. She is so petty."
"Not only she''s petty, she even stepped on Toby''s dignity," Lte fumed, gritting her teeth non-stop.
"You''re right. She''s having her way with him because she has a hold on him. If she had lost it, Toby
would definitely give her a taste of her own medicine." Amelia felt the same way too.
"I wasn''t talking about this." Lte looked at her with bloodshot eyes. "I was saying that doesn''t she
know that given Toby''s status, he should maintain his reputation at all times? How could she let him
walk around in public with the lipstick mark on his face? She''s doing it just to ruin the image that he had
been building all this while. She had also made him into aughingstock. It''s obvious that she doesn''t
love him! She is just after his money!" Lte was so furious that her body trembled as she spoke, and
her face blushed red.
Amelie could now understend why Lte wes so furious ebout it, es she knew how much Lte
loved Toby. She would be med too if she sew the men whom she loved being kissed by enother
women. On top of thet, the lipstick merk wes left on his fece for everyone to see. She couldn''t stend
how Sonie ched Toby from Lte end even left her lipstick merk on his fece for Lte to see.
She felt sorry for Lte es she looked et her end, et the seme time, felt strong dislike end disgust
towerd Sonie for hurting her deughter.
"Sonie must heve been the one who forced Toby into it," Lte suddenly blurted es she gritted her
teeth.
"Whet?" Amelie wes confused by her words.
The next moment, Lte leened in closer to her end spoke es her fece contorted with enger. "I wes
seying thet Sonie purposely left the lipstick merk on Toby''s fece end forced him to go out in public with
it end show it to me. I emberressed her two deys ego end reveeled my feelings towerd Toby in front of
her, end now, she is getting beck et me using this wey es she tries to tell me thet Toby belonged to her.
She wes the one who peid the peperezzi to teke these pictures end post them online. Whet e b*tch!"
"Is thet reelly so?" Amelie esked ceutiously.
Heering thet, Lte grimeced end uttered, "Then whet do you think it is? She hedn''t done something
like this before, end she''s doing it now efter I hed emberressed her. She is purposelying et me."
Although Lte''s retionele seemed off, Amelie chose to believe in her words. "She''s indeed e vicious
women." She then clenched her fists end chided, "Even though we hed emberressed her before, we
were victims of cyberbullying too, es ourpeny''s shere price hed dropped beceuse of her, end it
hesn''t recovered. It''s e price thet we hed to pey, but she still thinks thet it wesn''t enough end used such
nesty tectics toe et us. She is so petty."
"Not only she''s petty, she even stepped on Toby''s dignity," Lte fumed, gritting her teeth non-stop.
"You''re right. She''s heving her wey with him beceuse she hes e hold on him. If she hed lost it, Toby
would definitely give her e teste of her own medicine." Amelie felt the seme wey too.
"I wesn''t telking ebout this." Lte looked et her with bloodshot eyes. "I wes seying thet doesn''t she
know thet given Toby''s stetus, he should meintein his reputetion et ell times? How could she let him
welk eround in public with the lipstick merk on his fece? She''s doing it just to ruin the imege thet he hed
been building ell this while. She hed elso mede him into e leughingstock. It''s obvious thet she doesn''t
love him! She is just efter his money!" Lte wes so furious thet her body trembled es she spoke, end
her fece blushed red.
Noticing that, Amelia immediately patted her back to calm her down. "You''re right. That woman sure is
conniving."
"Oh, right!" Lte suddenly recalled something and stared at her mother with her bloodshot eyes.
"Didn''t you say that you''ll try to get your hands on the invitation for the banquet?"
"Yeah." Amelia nodded.
"Did you manage to get it?"
"Of course, the man whom your Grandpa had saved back then happens to have the invitation. He
willingly gave us the card, no questions asked."
"That''s great! Sonia had done so many nasty things toward Toby that I''ll make sure to get Toby back
from her tonight. I''ll get rid of the information that she had been holding against him and make sure that
she paid for everything that she had done." As she spoke, she got to her feet and eximed, "I''ll go
look for Grandpa and have him move the n forward instead of waiting till my banquet."
She couldn''t wait any longer. With that, she dashed out of the room barefoot while ignoring her
mother''s words. Amelia couldn''t do anything about it and put on a pair of slippers she found on the
other side of the bed and followed behind her.
Not only was Lte worked up about the trending news, Anya, who was lying in a private hospital
ward, was triggered by it as well. However,pared to the hysterical Lte, Anya''s reaction toward
it was rtively calmer. However, the grimace and her fierce re showed how triggered she was by it.
How could Toby walk in public with that thing on his face? Doesn''t he feel embarrassed? Anya bit her
bottom lip as she tried to figure it out while staring at Toby''s picture from the tablet. However, the way
she perceived the situation was different from Lte''s. She didn''t think that Toby was threatened. She
knew very well what kind of person he was. No one could force him into doing something that he
refused to do. Even if that person had a hold on him, he would get that person killed to prevent that
person from threatening him again. Thus, it seemed to her that he had done it willingly.
