Chapter 349 Lowering Oneself for Love


    Sarah Shen was worried about Amy, so she sneaked out of her house at night while Lord Shen was out


    for a walk.


    She drove her car and headed directly for Amy''s residence.


    She was frantic with worry, wondering how Amy was doing at the moment.


    When she arrived at Amy''s, she was somewhat relieved that nothing had changed evidently. She


    knocked on the door straightaway.


    It was Bob who answered the door. He was very surprised to see Sarah by their doorway, for he had


    just phoned Lord Shen to get her home a few days ago. They were not in the position to have guests


    over, given their current state.


    "Sarah, why are you here?"


    "Lord Qi, I''vee here for Amy. Is she inside?"


    Bob nodded his head. Just as he was about to say something, Sarah strode over and went straight


    inside, which made him shake his head in despair.


    He didn''t want his family''s current situation to be public because he didn''t want to be humiliated.


    That was why Bob had tried every means to make Sarah leave. But now, things could no longer be


    kept a secret, since Sarah had gone straight inside.


    She knocked on the door, but there was no response.


    Sarah tried shouting outside Amy''s room, "Amy, it''s me! Let me in."


    Amy thought it was her parents who were knocking at the door, so she didn''t open. But then she heard


    someone else''s voiceing from outside.


    It was Sarah.


    After hesitating for a while, Amy opened the door and let Sarah in.


    Amy closed the door the minute Sarah was inside. The whole room was immersed in darkness, without


    any light, and the curtains were tightly drawn. Sarah couldn''t see a thing, so she naturally reached out


    for the switch by the entrance. But it didn''t urred to her that Amy would react so violently, covering


    her eyes and breaking out in curses, "Who gave you the permission to turn on the light?"


    Rendered speechless, Sarah turned off the light hastily. The whole room was again immersed in


    darkness. Even though she saw the room for only a short amount of time, Sarah had noticed the

    terrible condition of her room. Amy''s soiled clothes, socks, and underwear were scattered everywhere.


    Amy used to be ady who liked keeping things tidy. What had happened to her?


    Sarah couldn''t believe it.


    "Amy, what''s wrong? I am so worried about you!" Sarah was somehow saddened by this scene.


    But Amy, with her chapped lips, something that would never happen to the Amy she knew, only gave


    Sarah a bitter smile.


    Amy used to be ady who loved keeping herself prim and proper.


    "What do you think happened? Sarah, I''m full of hatred right now. After all these years, I could ept


    the fact that Charles will never like me. But I don''t understand how he could go as far as to sabotage


    my family and destroy the whole Qi''s Group. We were a century old n, but now we are going to be


    wiped out in history."


    "I know, my dear. Pull yourself together. You still have me!"


    Feeling the urge to cry, Sarah reached out her hands and held Amy in her arms.


    Amy''s affection toward Charles was no secret to Sarah. At the age of eight, Amy would follow him


    around and gaze at him all the time. From then on, Sarah had known for sure that Charles would be


    the man that Amy would love for her whole life.


    But she couldn''t get anything back from him.


    In fact, Sarah and Brian were facing the same situation, too.


    But she was grateful because she was somewhat luckier than Amy.


    Brian was not as reputable as Charles was, And the Shen n was powerful enough to nail a contract


    of engagement between them.


    Amy, on the other hand, only ended up with a distorted heart.


    Amy used to envy Sarah for herfortable lifestyle and for having the chance to be with the one she


    loved with the support of her family, something which Amy was not capable of having.


    However, the gap between Amy and Sarah had widened.


    Amy started to think that Sarah was there to show off.


    "Why? Why are you so lucky? Why do you get to marry the love of your life? Why am I the pathetic


    one? The love of my life wouldn''t even talk to me. I have loved him since I was eight, for God''s sake.


    Do you have any idea what that means? It was my whole youth. I fell in love with him at first sight."


    With these words, Amy choked with sobs. The tears dropping from Amy''s dark eyes streamed down


    her pale cheeks and into her chapped lips.


    Her lips stung with pain, but it couldn''t match the agony she felt in her heart.


    Sarah also shed tears of sadness upon hearing those words.


    She grabbed Amy on the shoulder and tried tofort her, "I know how it feels. The love of my life


    wouldn''t talk to me either. You know what? He said he liked me before I did. But after a few days


    together, he wanted to break up with me."


    Sarah would sometimes be caught in a mood of depression when she ruminated over these things.


    She knew that Brian didn''t love her, and she couldn''t force him to.


    It''s just that Sarah couldn''t pull herself away from him anymore even if she was aware that she would


    fall into an endless abyss and have her heart shattered in the end. She just couldn''t help it.


    "Brian is actually a heartless person. He is a yboy. Everybody knows that, even you know that. But


    Charles is different. He was never used of being with another woman, so I had always thought that I


    was special to him. That''s why it surprised me that Linda, a nobody popping out of nowhere, snatched


    him away from me."


    Amy kept weeping and weeping until she was gradually on her knees. Her whole body went limp, and


    she felt so weak and helpless at the moment.


    But there was nothing she could do about it. That''s how she had spent all these years, crying and


    weeping alone at night whenever she thought of Charles.


    "That''s true. Brian was heartless towards me and many others. But why did he treat Bonny Lu


    differently? I don''t see anything in her. She is just an offspring of a rebel. But what could I do? Why


    couldn''t he ept things as they are and marry me instead?"


    Although their wedding date had already been settled and their parents had arranged everything,


    Sarah hadn''t seen Brain in a month.


    Lord Shen told her that Brain had been sent to the army where he was supposed to stay for a month


    before the wedding to train and toughen his character.


    But when Sarah went to the army to visit him, Brain wouldn''t see her. He even told her to ''fuck off''.


    Sarah was so humiliated in front of all the people in the army. Who could ever understand the


    bitterness in her heart!


    Sarah had kept all these things to herself and didn''t bring up a word when she got back.


    After all, she was also ady who gave up her dignity for love.


    What''s wrong with being in love with somebody? So at the very start, Linda didn''t do anything to Amy


    and Sarah, for they did nothing wrong by loving Charles and Brian.


    But even if you were in love with somebody, would it change anything? You couldn''t force the other one


    to return your love. If he didn''t love you, then he didn''t love you.


    Love paid no attention to who came first. It would only decide whom it would work its magic upon.
