"Heh… You did all this just to send a copy to Cassian Jennings?" 'It's always about Cassian Jennings…'
Amelia Avery made no attempt to hide it, just sneered, "That's right. I want him to know exactly what kind of woman he's fallen for."
"But Cassian Jennings doesn't like you."
Leo Joyce's words nearly made Amelia Avery snap. She strode over to him and grabbed him by the collar. "Don't you dare say that! He'll come to like me. One day, he will!"
Leo Joyce felt a piercing pain in his heart…
'Amelia Avery has loved Cassian Jennings their whole lives. But what about me? Haven't I loved the proud, disdainful Amelia Avery for just as long?'
'But look at the Amelia of today… a wretched mess, all for Cassian Jennings…'
He concealed the disappointment and sorrow in his eyes, raising his hands to pry her fingers off his collar, one by one. "Amelia Avery," he said faintly, "you need to snap out of it."
