"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?"

    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

    "You're so cruel, Liam. No matter what, she was once your woman and even carried your child." Amelia looked at him with incredulity, taken aback by how heartless he could be.     Liam sneered and released her chin.As he had expected, Amelia was reluctant to leave him. She didn't say anything more about divorce and even began to show concern for Ava instead.   "Why do you still have the mood to care about other people at times like this?"   "It's just because I'm also a woman like her!" Amelia wondered if she would really end up like Ava if she left a ruthless person like Liam. Right then, Ava's scream rang inside her mind again. "You will never win against her. Just ... divorce!"  "Stop acting! If you leave my side, how are you going to financially support your family?" Liam said coldly. "Amelia, you won't do it. If you were bothered by the women by my side, you wouldn't have been so passive throughout these three years. You have endured it for so long; why can't you cont

    Liam pinned Amelia down, his presence incredibly palpable. Yet, it wasn't sufficient for him; he forcefully left his marks on her body, marking her as his own.  Tears silently coursed down Amelia's cheeks.   Throughout her three years of marriage to him, they had never gotten this intimate. But now he was forcing himself on her, regardless of how she felt about it. When Liam pressed his face against hers and sensed the wetness, his body instantly tensed. He looked up at her and saw the tracks of tears on her cheeks. Her eyes were shut tightly, and her long lashes were drenched in tears. She seemed like she didn't want to accept what was happening.     "Don't you want to do it?" he asked in a deep voice.     Amelia slowly opened her eyes. "In this relationship, do I even have the right to say yes or no?" she replied in despair.     Liam frowned. He disliked Amelia's tone and expression. "Tell me, then. Have I ever forced you?"    "You didn't allow me to ..." "... w

    "Hush! Stop talking and feel me!" Liam said.He didn't care about what Amelia said. He hadn't agreed to the divorce. Well, even if they were to really part ways, they were currently still a couple. He could still do whatever he wanted with her.   "I ... Ah ..." She wanted to continue speaking, but Liam had started to moving.   When Liam touched her sensitive spot, his eyes glinted. He withdrew his hand and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.   "Sweetheart, from now on, you're officially Mrs. Prescott. I promise to give you whatever you deserve. So be obedient and stay by my side. Don't think about anything else, okay?" he said in an alluring voice, sounding way gentler than before. Upon hearing that, Amelia seemed to have pictured how wonderful her days ahead would be.     Subconsciously, Amelia wanted to agree, but just as she parted her lips, a ringtone resounded in the air.   Amelia instantly snapped back to her senses.   Liam also paused for a moment,

    The next morning, Amelia descended the stairs, feeling uneasy. She didn't know how to face Liam.   However, when she sat at the dining table, May told her that Liam hadn't returned since last night. It wasn't until then that Amelia realized the problem that had been bothering her all night had been settled so easily.  Yesterday, just as they were about to take the final step in their intimacy, Liam had received a call from another woman and left.Amelia felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.   Well, it was better this way too. It could save her from all the troubles if she didn't see him.   Immediately after that thought, Amelia mocked herself. Didn't the situation turn out like this because of herself? If she hadn't told him to answer his phone yesterday, he wouldn't have gone out to look for that woman.  All of a sudden, Amelia felt she was a little pretentious.   Fortunately, she had driving classes to attend recently, so she forced herself to focus on them instea

    "So what if you're married? You never got intimate with Liam, after all. Even after a divorce, you'd still a decent woman. Why won't you be a match for Eric?" Alex freely spoke her mind.   However, she was a little loud. A lot of the people in the restaurant turned around to look at them.   Embarrassed, Amelia leaned down on the table and used the table number card to block her face. "Lower your voice." She tugged at Alex's sleeve.   Seeing that, Alex laughed. However, considering how easily embarrassed Amelia was, Alex still did as she said.   "Amelia, you have to be mindful of your relationship with Eric. To me, you deserve to have the best man in the world. Never have I thought that you couldn't match any man. But other people may not see it the same way, just like you've always felt you weren't good enough for Liam. Eric ... His family background isn't any weaker than Liam's," Alex said with a serious expression.   "What are you talking about? Eric's just my superior, or

    James spoke of the past without any warning.Amelia was surprised to hear the story. She didn't expect that the generation before her had such connections."I didn't know what Karen felt for me. She always hid her emotions well. She was always elegant and noble in front of everyone and never did anything inappropriate. She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. I hoped my son could be with her daughter."I wanted Luke and Leona to marry for this purpose as well. Family interests were not my priority. Unfortunately, they had an accident, and my wish wasn't fulfilled. Then, I found out that Leona had been to Bryxton and suspected the identity of Hannah and you.

    After returning home, Eric's mood remained gloomy.Hannah opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for him. "Want some?"Eric glanced at her, took the glass, and gulped it down in one go.Hannah then quickly refilled his glass, and Eric drank everything again.Hannah chuckled lightly as she poured the wine for him. "Although drinking is bad for you, sometimes, it can be a way to drown your sorrows. But don't overdo it.""Why should I be sorrowful? What do I have to be sorrowful for?" Eric mocked himself and finished the wine in his glass. He then grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass.As Hannah watched him, she couldn't help but say, "You indeed have nothing to be sorrowful about. You're quite fortunate compared to many ordinary people. "Take me, for example. I had to marry someone who doesn't love me just to survive. Even the parents I'd known for over 20 years were not really my parents."Eric smirked. "That was of your own doing. You insisted on marrying me

    Alex was resting on the bed when her phone rang.Seeing the name on the screen, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Have you made up your mind? When are you going to the hospital?"Hearing this, Alex chuckled. "I thought you called to say that you regretted your words. So, you just want to remind me to go to the hospital."Eric's voice was calm and distant as he said, "Delaying it will only harm you.""Yeah, that's why I've already gone to the hospital," Alex replied.Eric paused, seemingly surprised by her swift action. "Why didn't you call me? I could've accompanied you."Alex scoffed. "Since you don't care about me or the baby in my belly, why bother going to the hospital with me? Don't worry, even if I die on the operating table during the abortion, it's my own fault."Eric frowned. "You know I didn't mean that.""Yes, I know. You just said it out of guilt. So what if I purposely said that? Why should I feel sad alone? I want to provoke you, to make you feel trou

    After the banquet, Liam drove Amelia home."Thanks for helping me today," Amelia said.This was the first time they were together alone since they'd met the shy man.Liam smirked. "You don't have to thank me. I just spoke the truth and defended my own marriage."Amelia frowned. "What do you mean?""I meant exactly that!""Stop the car and explain yourself!"Liam then parked the car as instructed. Then, Amelia spoke seriously, "We've already divorced, but now you're saying that we're still married. What do you mean exactly?"Liam smiled. "Of course, it means that we're still husband and wife. What else could it be?""You!" Amelia was frustrated. "Can you speak plainly?"What exactly did Liam mean? Amelia was confused.Other people might not know, but Amelia was aware that they were divorced. Plus, Oscar knew that she was just using Liam to reject him.Liam observed Amelia getting angry and toned down, saying, "Three years ago, we did sign a divorce agreement, but it didn't

    Amelia didn't think Karen would act so quickly, and she found it difficult to refuse her after looking at her warm gaze."Mr. Prescott, the Lancasters have prepared a banquet to welcome Madam into the family. And they've invited many people, including some previous partners of the Lancaster Group and some members of the Prescotts. "However, we still haven't received an invitation. Do you think…" Gio was reporting to Liam about Amelia in the office.Liam snorted. "The Lancasters must have other intentions to organize the banquet. If they still want me to spare them and Leona, they shouldn't use this method to corner me. They're being so public about things and are putting so much effort into this banquet to force me to attend it."Gio looked puzzled.Liam continued, "Charles is a cunning old man. He begged me to let go of the Lancasters. But when I disagreed, he tried to approach Lia. He never thought she would refuse too. So, he's still furious about this. He's reluctant to give

    The Lancasters' businesses had been continuously taken away, and Leona was nowhere to be found. This frustrated Charles."As expected, people who didn't grow up in this family are so unreliable. It's such a simple matter that could've been solved had she said anything about it, but she just won't help!" Charles paced around the living room while complaining about his daughter.Meanwhile, Karen looked a little worn out as she sat on the couch. She frowned and said, "Stop pacing around. You're making me dizzy!"Charles glanced at her. "I'm just too worried. If the company doesn't get new orders, we won't be able to pay salaries, and we'll lose our employees. If that really happens, the company will go bankrupt!"Despite the urgency of the situation, he still listened to Karen and sat across from her.Hannah looked at the anxious Charles and sneered, saying, "Dad, don't you understand?
