Chapter 675: Chapter 667: No Emotion

Leo Joyce glanced at the people in the room, his tone laced with a hint of sarcasm. "So, did she come?" He knew she hadn’t, but he still had to ask. ’What if she came while I was asleep?’

"—" Lucy lowered his head again. He knew that if he told him the truth, Young Master Joyce would probably tear him limb from limb.

"Speak up! Did she come or not?" As Leo Joyce asked the question, he was no longer expecting the answer he wanted to hear.

Lucy looked up and said uneasily, "She did come... It’s just..."

’She came?’ His heart felt like it was on a roller coaster, soaring one moment and plunging the next. "Just what?"

"It’s just that at the time, Young Master Joyce, you were drunk and with Ancestor Avery. And when Miss Grayson arrived, you and Ancestor Avery were holding each other in a tight embrace, heads touching, behaving intimately..."

Utterly exhausted by the news, Leo Joyce asked in a heavy voice, "Why was Amelia here, too?" He distinctly remembered being with Ian Shaw...

The moment Amelia Avery was mentioned, Lucy found someone to blame. "I don’t know. I’m guessing Ancestor Avery was up to no good. I had just hung up with Miss Grayson when Ancestor Avery arrived."

"Heh, don’t talk about her like that. Amelia’s not that kind of person. She wouldn’t have come here for no reason. Lucy, I didn’t do anything... to cross the line last night, did I?" As he asked this, Leo Joyce’s heart was pounding with apprehension.

Those two words, "behaving intimately," were enough to make his imagination run wild.

Even though he was certain he no longer had any feelings for Amelia Avery, the potential consequences of having blacked out filled him with a strange sense of panic.

More than that, he couldn’t imagine what Tiana must have been feeling when she saw that and left.

’Was she heartbroken, or completely unaffected?’

Seeing that Young Master Joyce wasn’t angry with him, Lucy finally relaxed. "Don’t worry, Young Master Joyce. Nothing that crossed the line happened. After Miss Grayson left, Ancestor Avery also left not long after."

"Oh, that’s good. Lucy, Tiana... when she saw me and Amelia together, did she say anything?"

Lucy frowned, shook his head, and said uncertainly, "I don’t think so."

Unwilling to give up, Leo Joyce pressed, "Think carefully. Are you sure she didn’t say anything?"

Lucy tapped his head, thinking it over carefully, but his expression remained blank. "Nope. When Miss Grayson saw you and Ancestor Avery embracing, it looked like she just glanced over and then left."

"Then what was her mood like?"

"Mood? She didn’t show any emotion."

"No emotion?" ’Not even a flicker of it?’ Leo Joyce’s heart seized painfully in his chest.

’She couldn’t even spare a single shred of emotion for him? Has Tiana truly forgotten everything about their relationship?’

He thought hearing she had "no emotion" was enough to make his heart turn cold, but then Lucy, clueless as ever, proceeded to rub salt in the wound. "Mhm, that’s right. She just left very calmly, as if she hadn’t seen Young Master Joyce with another woman at all."

Leo Joyce’s lips twisted into a bitter smile. "Fine, I get it. I’m tired tonight. You all go out and have fun if you want. Just don’t let anyone disturb my rest."

Lucy knew he had messed up. He was already thanking his lucky stars that Young Master Joyce wasn’t yelling at or hitting him, so upon hearing his words, he immediately agreed. "Then you get some rest, Young Master Joyce. The rest of us guys will head out."

"Mmm."

He watched as the group said their goodbyes one by one and left. He felt a bone-deep weariness, so profound he couldn’t even be bothered to put on a polite facade.
