“The person I’ve wronged most is Amelia. She raised Levi for me, yet I treated her horribly. This is all my fault.”
He gently gazed at Amelia beside him.
“Amelia, I’ve failed you. Let me make it up to you from now on, okay?”
Cecilia kept eating slowly, finally understanding the scene.
Brendon, pressured by his son to divorce and surrender all assets, had sent his sister Chu Yue to persuade Amelia?
She watched Amelia curiously, waiting to see her reaction.
Amelia kept a cold face and stayed silent. She’d waited half her life to hear Brendon say he was sorry.
But she no longer wanted that apology.
The moment she decided to divorce, she swore to cut all ties with that scumbag Brendon.
“You must be too happy to speak, sis.”
Chu Yue smiled, twisting Amelia’s silence into what she wanted it to
mean.
Amelia snapped back to reality and snorted. “Happy?
I’m just disgusted.”
“When we married, he chased so–called freedom and true love, abandoning me. Now he hypocritically apologizes and promises to

treat me well–for money! Does he think I’m a fool?”
“The only reason I’m sharing a table with him today is for Ali’s sake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t spare him a nce.”
Sheid her stance bare.
Brendon lowered his head guiltily. “Amelia, you’re right to me me. This is all my fault.”
Chu Yue flushed with embarrassment, unable to bring herself to smile.
“Sis, big brother apologized. Give him time to prove himself. If he truly changes, forgive him.”
Amelia stated harshly: “Does a dog ever stop eating shit?”
Brendon nearly lost hisposure, his face flushing crimson.
“You…”
He forcibly swallowed those harsh words.
Chloe wanted to speak, but Wesley cut in, “Aunt, stay out of this.”
Chloe grew frantic, “You’d just watch your parents divorce?”
“I support their divorce.”
This family functioned fine without Brendon anyway.
Hell, since childhood, he’d endured countless beatings because of Brendon.
Chloe shot a disdainful nce at Cecilia, still quietly eating, and unleashed her pent–up frustration on her.
Her tone dripped with phony gentleness.

“Cecilia, we’re discussing serious matters here. How can you keep eating?”
Frank rubbed his temples, ring at his daughter. “Cecilia’s eating for two. Let her cat.”
Chloe paused, softening her tone. “Cecilia, what’s your take on their divorce?”
Cecilia set down her fork, leisurely pulled a tissue, and dabbed the corners of her mouth.
“Sounds perfect.”
She nced at Amelia, then Brendon. “Once a cheater, always a cheater. That kind won’t behave even if nailed to the wall. Better end
it.”
Amelia’s clenched fingers loosened slightly, surprise flickering in her
eyes.
She knew Cecilia disliked her.
Yet here she was, speaking up for her.
“Cecilia, is this how you treat matters concerning your elders?”
Aunt was displeased.
Was it pleasant to announce that one’s inws were divorcing?
Cecilia thought for a moment and changed her tune. “You’re right. They don’t actually have to divorce.”
Amelia’s slightly softened expression immediately darkened.
Auntughed again. “I knew you were a sensible girl.”

Ceciliaughed too. “If I were Amelia, and the divorce couldn’t happen? Fine. Then I’d go find eight or ten men to y with. That’d be fair.”
“Cecilia.”
“Ci.”
“Nonsense!”
Reprimands erupted simultaneously, all shocked by Cecilia’s words.
Cecilia leaned back in her chair and fell silent.
Yet Amelia felt sudden rity. Agreeing to divorce meant making peace with herself.
If the marriage couldn’t end, findingpanionship elsewhere wouldn‘ t be uneptable.
After all, Brendon had kept far more than eight or ten mistresses over the years.
“Well said. If this marriage continues, we’ll each y our own games.”
Amelia’s tone turned resolute.
The smile vanished from Aunt’s face.
She’d never imagined Amelia would truly agree with Cecilia.
As for Cecilia…
Aunt utterly despised this niece–inw.
Instead of urging family harmony, she’d started stirring up trouble.

Brendon actually thought the proposal wasn’t bad since he didn’t love his wife and only cared about getting the money.
Wesley tightened his grip on Cecilia’s hand, expression stern: “I decided about their divorce. Talk to me if you’re unhappy, Aunt.”
Yue frowned.
Frank said: “Enough. Eat your meal and stop discussing this.”
With Frank’smand, Yue swallowed her words.
The family dinner ended abruptly.
Brendon couldn’t stay still and vanished within moments.
Wesley and Yue were summoned to the study by Frank.
Cecilia went to wait in the living room.
She texted Corrine about the dinner absurdities when a shadow suddenly fell over her.
“Cecilia.”
Amelia called her with aplicated expression.
Cecilia showed no expression: “What is it?”
Amelia’s lips moved several times before she managed to utter three words, “Thank you.”
Once the words were out, she suddenly felt much more relieved.
“Thank you.”
This time, it was sincere.
