All of a sudden, Liam's phone rang. It broke the silence in the office. It was a cheery ringtone, and he had purposely set it for a certain someone. "Liam, is the rumor true?" When Liam heard the teary voice from the other end of the line, he couldn't help but rub the spot between his brows. As expected, Hannah had called to ask him about it. "Hannie, I have to get married someday. You know that too." "Didn't you say that you'd take care of me for your whole life? Why did you still have to marry another woman?" "Hannie, even if I'm married, I'll still look after you for the rest of my life," Liam persuaded in a soft voice. "Once you have a wife, you'll treat her well. And you'll ignore me again, just like what happened in the past. Liam, I've waited for you for so long. I thought our relationship would change after I came back. But ... why don't you want me?" Hannah sobbed. Her crying tugged at Liam's heartstrings. "Don't cry anymore, Hannie. I promise
The news about Amelia's identity had caused a stir on the internet for the whole day. Since the Prescott Group didn't take any action to suppress the news, the topic continued to circulate. However, no one dared to claim that she was Liam's secret wife anymore. After all, there were insiders who revealed that the news about Amelia being Liam's neighbor was leaked by someone from the Prescott Group. On the other hand, the rumors involving Amelia and the other men had intensified even further. Liam had been added to the list too. The netizens felt that even if she wasn't Liam's wife, there must be something going on between her and Liam. Hence, they started attacking her online, labeling her as a fickle and unfaithful woman in relationships. At the same time, Oscar's fans also began to bash Amelia on the internet. They voted to get Amelia dismissed as Oscar's assistant. Some of the fans even took to Oscar's official Twitter, saying that they would not support him anymore i
"Don't go, Liam!" As soon as Amelia slid the key into the door lock, she heard someone crying. Amelia was stunned. It was a familiar voice. "Hannie!" Liam wasn't loud, but he sounded anxious. Amelia didn't manage to hear what he had said before that. She unconsciously pushed the door open. When she saw the scene in front of her, Amelia's heart instantly sank to the bottom of her chest.On the couch, Hannah was crying in Liam's embrace. Liam held her tightly while comforting her in a soft voice. His face was full of concern. Liam had his back turned to Amelia. Perhaps because he was completely focused on Hannah at that moment, he didn't realize that Amelia had entered. However, Hannah noticed her right away. "Ah! I ... I didn't do it on purpose!" Hannah exclaimed. She looked as if she had done something wrong. She pushed Liam away and turned around, seemingly embarrassed to face Amelia. When Liam sensed something was amiss, he looked over and saw Amelia sta
After leaving the driving institute, Amelia didn't immediately return to Riverbay Residence. She didn't know where she should go, so she strolled along the street aimlessly. Right then, someone suddenly blocked her way. When she moved to the right, the person moved to their left. When Amelia moved to the left, the person moved to their right. Amelia couldn't walk ahead. Finally, Amelia lifted her head and looked at the other person. It was a woman. She had a face mask and a pair of sunglasses on. Her long hair cascaded down her neck. Excluding the extra pair of sunglasses, the woman dressed similarly to Amelia. She was also looking at Amelia. Although Amelia couldn't see her face, she could still recognize her—Ava. Perhaps it was midday, so there were barely any customers in the café. After serving them coffee, the waiter went behind the counter and started playing with his phone. Amelia and Ava sat in the corner, undisturbed by anyone else. "It's been a
"But don't get too conceited. Just because he doesn't want me anymore, that doesn't mean you can rest easy. He still has another woman by his side," Ava said.Then Ava laughed. "Although you're his wife, in truth, you're nowhere close to that! You had such a great chance. He even started to care about you. Yet you still lost him." Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Amelia said, "Have you forgotten who seduced him away?" "That's your fault. You can't blame other people for failing to keep your man. Look, I'm out of the game now, but you're still as useless as before." "Since you know that you're out of the game, stop pining for Liam." While Liam was an exceptional man, he wasn't someone who could be entrusted a lifetime to. A lot of women pursued him. So Amelia wondered why Ava still couldn't move on from him when they no longer had anything to do with each other. "Do you think I'm someone who gives up easily?" "Haven't you already gotten the house and the
Eric stared at Amelia for a while. After she lowered her head and apologized, he let out a sigh. "You don't look good. If you don't feel comfortable staying at home, go somewhere else." Amelia smiled bitterly. Where else could she go? "Thanks, but I'm fine," she said. "Stop putting up a front. We're good friends. If you can't hold on anymore or need any help, you can always talk to me." Eric held her face, feeling sorry for her. "I simply can't have peace of mind seeing you like this." When the pedestrian signal turned green, Eric grabbed her hand and crossed the road. Amelia looked at him holding her hand and was stunned for a moment. "Mr. Richards ... I'm fine on my own." "No, you aren't. Even if you are, I don't feel at ease. After watching how you wanted to cross the road earlier, I simply can't bring myself not to care about you." Eric tightened his grip on her. When they reached the other side of the road, Eric looked at her seriously. "Amelia, I don't h
When Amelia returned to Riverbay Residence, Liam had already come back. He was sitting on the couch with a magazine in his hands. The couch was still the same, and so were the cushions. Instead of saying anything, Amelia directly went up to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, a hand reached in, halting her in her tracks. Stunned, Amelia looked at the man by the door. "How's your leg?" he suddenly asked. Amelia subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her foot. Though it wasn't swollen anymore, it still ached a little. Actually, it had almost recovered yesterday. However, after exerting too much force during the driving lesson earlier, her foot started hurting again. "It's healed," she replied, not telling him the truth. She wanted to close the door, but before she could, Liam pushed her away and entered. This was his first time entering the guest room since she moved into it. It was much smaller than the master bedroom. Ther
Amelia's heart skipped a beat. "I'm not." "You are!" Liam sounded certain and started laughing. He wrapped his arm around Amelia's slender waist. If she could be more obedient, he might consider holding her like this while sleeping. "Resign from your job, and I'll drop this matter," Liam said. Amelia widened her eyes in shock. She was stunned by what he had said. She let out a laugh. "What if I want you to cut ties with Ms. Lancaster first?" Amelia said coolly. Liam tensed, the smile disappearing from his face. "Come again?" His voice was cold. Amelia knew that this was a sign of him getting angry. "I'll resign once you cut ties with Ms. Lancaster." With a loud smack, Amelia was flung off the bed. Her head struck the wardrobe heavily. It hurt so much that tears welled up in her eyes. "Amelia, you're getting bolder! Who do you think you are to be negotiating with me? Are you even comparable to Hannah?" Liam sneered, looking down at her condescend
