Amelia Clarke saw Emily Collins and quickly stood up to give up her seat, shifting herself further in, "Grandma Collins, please have a seat."
Emily Collins did not decline and sat down next to Amelia, taking her hand and asking a few questions about her well-being—how she was eating, drinking, and if she was feeling unwell in any way, caring like a long-unseen family elder.
Amelia felt a warmth in her heart and patiently answered each question, when suddenly, as if sensing something, she turned her head toward Owen Moreland's direction.
Lily Scott wore a bright red coat and high-heeled leather boots, her curly hair draped over her shoulders, radiating enthusiasm, style, and femininity. Combined with her model height and powerful presence, she was very eye-catching.
She was sitting with only Alexander Scott between her and Owen Moreland, but Amelia always felt as though she was bearing a hidden agenda, like a scheming rival.
