Chapter 27: Pictures of You
"No shit! Lucy, let me see!" The women clamored at her, for a chance to take a look at her phone, but Lucy held it out to Amelia, pointing a delicately manicured finger at her screen.
"Isn’t this you? Unless you actually have a secret twin sister stashed away somewhere..."
Amelia grabbed at her phone, her eyes wide with shock. The picture was clearly taken from a distance, yet its quality was undeniable― it featured Amelia, staring down at her phone in an oversized T-shirt, the delicate features of her face illuminated by the light from her phone screen.
"This... this..." Amelia’s fingers shook. How could she have been so foolish to forget that there was someone that had been following them? Whoever it was, they must have camped outside Matteo’s house the entire night, waiting for them to emerge.
And Amelia foolishly went outside to wait for her taxi to arrive. She wanted to slam her head against the restroom wall. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
"Where is this picture from?" Amelia demanded.
"Beats me," Lucy said with a cavalier shrug. "But it’s all over the gossip sites. Lady Vanity reported on it first, and now everyone knows!"
Amelia’s blood froze; Lady Vanity was a notorious gossip site that focused on the lives of the rich and famous, yet the only reason why they hadn’t been sued to oblivion was that apparently, they claimed that they only reported the truth.
Since they have never lied nor have they trespassed on private property, it was impossible for the people they gossiped about to sue them.
