"Really?" Amelia asked and set down her glass, a faint smile forming on her lips.
"It sure took you a long time to feel that way."
Victoria hadn’t expected Amelia to react so calmly. A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. Slowly, she began to believe that maybe Amelia truly no longer had feelings for Damien.
Her hostility faded slightly and she took Amelia’s arm affectionately, pretending to be naive.
"Amelia, you don’t know how much I rely on my brother … "
Her voice was soft, but there was an unmistakable sense of pride in it.
"This time, my brother helped me handle my divorce. My ex-husband’s family caused trouble and even blocked the entrance of my hotel."
"But my brother hired a lawyer and had them driven away overnight. When it came to the property settlement, he used the Charleston Family’s connections to ensure I got the best deal. Even my most difficult mother-in-law didn’t dare challenge him."
Victoria’s eyes shone with admiration.
