"What are you talking about?" “So, you still don't know anything. How pitiful!" Astrid clicked her tongue and shook her head. She then handed her phone to the secretary. “Take it, let this poor little secretary have a good look, and wake up.” The secretary took the phone and walked over to Steven, placing the screen in front of him.

"Don't believe me? Go ask Amelia yourself,” Astrid said, squinting her cunning eyes. “Ah, I suppose Amelia no longer wishes to contact you. Otherwise, why would you be standing here alone, unable even to see her?" Those words pierced through Steven's heaving chest like a bullet.
"I don't believe it... I won't believe your nonsense! Amelia would never be with Charles!" Steven roared as he stormed towards the gate. At this moment, his mind was blank, and all he wanted was to confront Amelia in person! No, he wouldn't ask anything.

Astrid's eyes darkened with malice as she sneered. "Who do you think you are? What does your family amount to? You were just the Thompson m family's watchdog before.
