Chapter 92 Made A Difficult Decision

"I've already divorced Lucian, Jonny." Her face was expressionless but she could feel her heart beat
pulsing in her ears. She felt as if everything inside her was aching.

"I heard. That's why I was so worried about you." Jonny's face darkened, a shadow of regret visible. "I
don't believe you're anything like what they say you are. You probably have a lot of unspoken feelings."

"Jonny, I hope Lucian chooses to accept the help from the An Group." Jonny had always been there for
Amelia and she was willing to open up to him and tell him the truth. However, this was different. Only
Lucian could take away her pain.

"Amelia, I feel ashamed but my father and I haven't been on good terms for years. He refuses to take
my advice and insists on doing things his own way. He favors Shelly now and Shelly wants to marry
Lucian. That's why he offered to help Zhan Group in the first place. So he could get Lucian to marry
Shelly." Jonny looked deeply regretful. "But as far as I know, Lucian won't be threatened by my father."

It seemed that they were all saying the same thing—that Lucian wasn't going to be threatened by
anyone. However, this didn't really help with Amelia's unease. She said, "Jonny, last night, I met this
stranger–a man. He offered me help but..."

Amelia couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence.

"A stranger?" Jonny repeated. He then asked in concern, "Did you get hurt?"

Amelia shook her head and replied honestly, "He told me that the only way I could manipulate Lucian is
by marrying you... Lucian will then marry Miss An out of anger. That's the only way we can save the
Zhan Group."

Amelia hated saying those words out loud but she was at a loss—she didn't know how else to get
Lucian to decide already.



Jonny was visibly surprised, keeping his gaze on Amelia. After a pause, he asked, "Well, what do you
think?"

"What?" Amelia looked at Jonny blankly. After coming to her senses, she answered truthfully, "You're
important to me but I don't love you in that way. If we do this, I apologize in advance to you."

If this was the only way to help Lucian, she was willing to do it but then, she'd feel like she'd be in debt
to Jonny.

"What if I agree?" With a warm smile on his face, Jonny looked at Amelia lovingly.

"Jonny..." Amelia was at a loss for words. She couldn't believe that Jonny would even agree.

"You don't have to apologize. The reason why I've been single all these years is that I only do what I
want to do. If this can help you then I'll do it," Jonny said calmly. He just wanted to take a load off
Amelia's shoulders.

"This isn't going to be my first marriage, you know," Amelia blurted out.

She'd already married Lucian. If she suddenly married Jonny, what would Lucian think? Would he think
that she was disloyal?

She couldn't help but sneer at herself in her mind when she thought of this. She was doing this of her
own volition so she shouldn't care what Lucian would think of her.

"No matter what happens, you're still the kind, little girl that I know you to be," Jonny said with a smile.
When he spoke, his eyes seemed distant as if his mind was far off, thinking about something else.

"So, Jonny... Do you think that Lucian will accept the help from the An Group if we do this?" This was
all she cared about.



All of a sudden, the smile on Jonny's face disappeared and he said solemnly, "There may be a
possibility but what's important is that we all work together."

Despite her confusion, she merely nodded in response.

"Amelia, you don't have to go back to renting a place. I have an empty apartment. Feel free to move in
there," Jonny suggested. He was worried about how Amelia was living alone.

"No, it's fine. My landlady is very kind to me. I don't mind staying there," she refused politely as she
smiled.

It seemed that Jonny had expected she would refuse so he smiled and said, "Don't worry. We're only
getting married on paper." "You're still like a younger sister to me,"

Jonny added casually.

Amelia couldn't help but be reminded of her first meeting with Lucian. They also initially only agreed to
get married on paper. What they didn't expect to happen was that they would develop feelings for each
other. Now, they loved each other deeply.

"Once Lucian marries my sister, the Zhan Group will be saved. Then we can terminate our marriage,"
Jonny continued.

Amelia couldn't help but feel guilty. She didn't know how to face Jonny now. In addition to the gratitude
she was feeling in her heart, she was also feeling some guilt.

"Jonny, thank you," Amelia simply said as she didn't know how else to respond.

"I just hope you won't be sad all the time," Jonny said, looking at her with concern in his eyes.



Not wanting to bother Mrs. Chen, Amelia's landlady, Amelia called her and informed her that she
wouldn't be coming home to her apartment in the meantime.

She figured she'd be able to live her life more peacefully without worrying about the Zhan Group after
everything had been settled already.

After she'd moved in to the apartment that Jonny had arranged for her, she then read rumors about her
staying with Jonny.

The reports wrote, "Mr. Jonny An of the An Group has spent a night with Mrs. Amelia of the Zhan
Group."

The title was eye-catching and anyone reading it would be entranced to read the article.

As she held the newspaper, her hands were trembling. She then grabbed her phone and as expected,
she found that the news was everywhere.

There were also photos of Jonny speaking to her at the door of the hotel room and photos of them
having breakfast together.

The media was savage like that—they would prey on anything just to get the people talking.

At this moment, Amelia's phone suddenly started ringing—it was Jonny. Before she could say anything,
Jonny had already spoken. He said, "Amelia, this was obviously orchestrated by my father. Don't worry.
I'll fix this. Now I'm..."

Despite Amelia's restlessness, she was still in her right mind. She interrupted him, "Jonny, since this is
happening already, why not take advantage of it?" They'd already agreed on getting married anyway.
Maybe they could use this opportunity to make their marriage believable.

"Amelia, have you really made up your mind already?" Jonny asked with much uncertainty.



"Yes, I have." Amelia knew she didn't have time to hesitate. If she waited, things with the Zhan Group
were only going to worsen.

Lucian was a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Naturally, people were going to take advantage
of his downfall.

Amelia would read news about businesses but had trouble understanding anything. The only thing she
was able to get from reading all the news was that the Zhan Group was in trouble.

She only grew more worried which was why she made sure she decided on this quickly. It was the only
way she could help. Even if it meant taking a leap, she was willing to do anything—she was going to
take the fall even if she didn't know what was going to happen next.

She waited for Jonny's call the entire morning. Come afternoon, Jonny finally called her and asked her
to attend a press conference.

Despite being a little scared and nervous, she agreed to it.

At the press conference, Jonny thankfully answered most of the questions. When he glanced at
Amelia, he said in a pleased tone, "When I first saw Amelia, I fell in love right away. Since then, we've
decided to get married."

Upon hearing this, all the reporters went into an uproar. All the cameras were now pointed towards the
two of them. Despite being taken aback, Amelia tried her best to remain calm and act as natural as
possible.

"Mrs. Amelia, have you decided to look for someone else because Zhan Group is in trouble?" The
question was directed at her and it was so straightforward that she didn't know how to respond.



"This is our personal life and there's no need to respond to any other questions. We just wanted to
clarify that we are now in a relationship. We will not respond to any more questions." Jonny put his arm
around Amelia's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Amelia mindlessly followed Jonny.

She was only able to relax when they were finally on their own, with no cameras and reporters. She
looked up at Jonny and said, "I'm so sorry for all this, Jonny."

Jonny shook his head and said, "Don't be so formal with me. It's all my fault that I have no say when it
comes to my father. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken so much work."

Amelia definitely felt the tension between Jonny and his father at the dinner party last time.

"Jonny An!" Just then, a cold voice came from not far away.

Both Amelia and Jonny turned their heads. They were surprised to find Lucian who was walking
towards them. He then grabbed Jonny by the collar and bellowed, "You fucking bastard!"

Lucian then raised his fist and landed a punch across Jonny's face.

"Lucian!" Amelia cried in fright when she saw that Lucian was about to raise his fist again.

Amelia didn't want any fights anymore. So she raised her hand in an attempt to stop Lucian but he
didn't seem to realize that Amelia's hands were raised so he accidentally hit her.

It hurt Amelia so bad that tears streamed down from her face. Still, she made sure she didn't cry out in
pain and remained silent.

"Amelia, are you okay?" Jonny was scared. He hurriedly stood up and grabbed Amelia's hands,
checking them anxiously.



Amelia kept her gaze at Lucian, tears welling up in her eyes. Lucian was stunned and looking back at
her in utter disbelief. It seemed that he hadn't realized what had happened until it was all over.
