You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 520 Firing Back

The reason Noah didn't mind Amy's background was that he didn't want to be dumped again. If he found a girlfriend with a more humble background than him, he reckoned that he could dominate the relationship. Little did he know, Fate had played a trick on him. Amy might seem to have a more humble background, but she was actually a hidden queen, and he didn't see it coming.

Amy had a gentle and submissive personality. When they were together, she was obedient and listened to him, unlike Rebecca, who was spoiled and temperamental.

Although his parents never liked Amy and didn't want him to date her, he liked her character and appearance.

This relationship was sweeter, and he was comfortable and more at ease than when he dated Rebecca.

He genuinely liked Amy and even planned to marry her, even if it meant going against his parents. Despite that, he never expected that it was Amy who gave up on this relationship first.

Noah had only been in two relationships; the first one ended with Rebecca breaking up with him, and now, Amy ended their relationship.

Am I really such a terrible person? he asked himself, tugging at his hair and sweeping everything off the table in frustration.

The thought of not being able to see Amy's gentle smile or hear her sweet nothings made his heart ache uncontrollably.

I... love Amy more than I imagined, he realized, slumping into a chair in agony, desperately trying to calm himself down.

He wanted to salvage this relationship and change Amy's mind.

I don't want to break up. Never!

Meanwhile, Amy went shopping with Madeline. Worried about her injured foot, Madeline advised her to wait in the car, but she felt uncomfortable and insisted on accompanying her.

Her sprained ankle wasn't serious, and the medicine Madeline gave her was very effective. Her injury had already improved a lot, but what hurt more than her injured foot was her heart.

She wasn't as carefree as she claimed to be. If she really was as carefree as she claimed, she would have broken up with Noah a long time ago.

It wasn't news to her that Noah didn't care enough about her, and she had been aware of this for a while already. Although they were together because he pursued her, she quickly realized that Noah had placed himself in a dominant position by being arrogant, self-centered, and rarely considered her feelings.

Nevertheless, Noah was outstanding, exactly the type of man that she liked—tall, handsome, and capable, he didn't drink, gamble, or flirt around with women. It was rare to find a man of his age with such qualities.

She told herself that no one was perfect, and she was not, too. So, she gently tolerated Noah's

shortcomings and thought that as long as she wholeheartedly devoted herself, she could touch him and make him love her more every day.

As it was proven, she had over-simplified the situation.

They were originally from two different worlds, so it was a mistake for them to be together, and now, this mistake had been corrected.

This is for the better, Amy thought.

After Amy finished shopping with Madeline and left the mall, she suddenly heard someone behind them say, "Hey, isn't this Amy-boo?"

Yes.

That person had called her Amy-boo instead of Amy, but the voice was very familiar, so she knew that he was calling her. She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look. Not far behind her stood Noah's two childhood friends and Rebecca.

Standing between Noah's two friends, Rebecca wore a white dress and was adorned with delicate makeup. Her long hair was flowing gorgeously, complimenting her rosy lips and beautiful eyes. She looked like a princess being guarded by her protectors.

Amy only glanced briefly at Rebecca and turned to Donovan Brighton, who had just spoken as one of Noah's friends, and snapped, "Using someone's name to mock them is a prank that only children pull. Are you still a child at your age?"

Stunned, Donovan didn't expect Amy to fire back.

This girlfriend of Noah's had a humble background, and although she had a gentle personality and was obedient to Noah, Donovan and the others had never approved of her.

For people like them, it was a piece of cake to find a woman who would be obedient to them. As long as they were willing to spend money, they could easily find a thousand or eight hundred women.

However, what they needed was not a woman who would be obedient to them, but one from a prestigious family who could help their own family.

They thought that Noah was just fooling around with Amy, and once the novelty wore off, he would break up with her. Unexpectedly, when they tried to match up Noah and Rebecca after her return, Noah told them that he wouldn't reconcile with her.

The one he loved was Amy, and he wanted to marry her.

Everyone was shocked, thinking that he had lost his mind.

Rebecca was the best girl in their circle. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also talented in everything and the only daughter of the Richardson Family.

If Noah married Rebecca, the Richardsons and the Ellis Family would form a strong alliance, and Noah wouldn't have to work as hard as before. Despite that, Noah firmly stated that he wouldn't marry Rebecca, and his future wife would be no one but Amy.

They assumed that Noah was deeply hurt by the incident where the Richardson Family refused to help

when the Ellis Family faced a crisis and tried to talk him around by telling him that he and Rebecca were just dating as a couple at that time. So, it was understandable that the Richardson Family didn't help. But if he married her, their families would be connected, and the Richardson Family would extend their help without hesitation if the Ellis Family encountered any problems in the future.

As Rebecca was childhood friends with Noah and Donovan, Rebecca had asked him and their other friends to mediate the situation, and of course, they would be delighted to see them get married.

To their dismay, Noah refused to reconcile with her despite their efforts.

Seeing that a perfect match—a match made in heaven—turned into a missed opportunity in the end, they found it a shame and blamed Amy for it. As a result, their disgruntlement with her soared.

It so happened that Donovan and Mathias Fitzgerald were accompanying Rebecca out of the mall when they noticed Amy limping in front of them, and Donovan couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

On more than a few occasions, they had thrown sarcastic remarks at Amy before, and she would pretend not to hear them. Every time it happened, Noah rarely spoke and always carried a cold and distant attitude, never bothering to stop them from making these jokes.

Every time, Donovan and Mathias would get away with it in triumph, gleeful that their sarcasm placed them above Amy.

This was the first time Amy fired back, and Donovan was so shocked that he forgot what he should say.

Rebecca glanced at Amy and smiled. "Miss Atkinson, don't mind Donovan. He's just joking. What

happened to your leg? I noticed that you're walking a bit strangely. Are you hurt?"

Amy gave her a nonchalant look and ignored her, saying to Madeline, "Maddie, let's go."

All of a sudden, fury got the better of Donovan. "Hey, Amy-boo, what's with your attitude? You're just a poor girl from a small family and have no manners. With that character of yours, do you imagine that you could marry Noah? Keep dreaming!"
