During breakfast, Amelia noticed Liam staring at her with a dark look.

She felt a little intimidated by his gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is something the matter?" she asked.

Liam didn't answer right away. Instead, he stared at her for a while longer before saying, "Congratulations. The scandals are gone."

Amelia was truly in a good mood because the matter was resolved. So when Liam mentioned it, Amelia even gave him a rare smile.

"Indeed. Thank you for the congratulations."

It was an innocent reply, and she didn't mean anything by it. But more often than not, the listener had other interpretations.

When Liam heard it, he thought that she was mocking him. She seemed to be telling him that even if he didn't help her, someone else would.

"Hah, and you said that you and him were just friends? Who would go this far for their friends?" Liam said. After all, the silencing fee was quite a huge sum!

Amelia's good mood immediately disappeared because of what Liam had said

    Amelia thought of what happened yesterday and Liam's attitude today. Then, she shook her head."No, I should thank you. You were right. I should fight back."The smile on her face was earnest and brilliant. Eric knew then that she wasn't lying."That's good to hear. If not, I'll keep feeling guilty inside," he said.After chatting for a while, Eric asked with a curious expression, "So, how are things going between you two?"Amelia raised an eyebrow. "Are you interested in gossip too, Mr. Richards?"Eric shook his head. "I'm just interested in you!"He had an honest and pure smile on his face that didn't hint to Amelia any other motives. If not, she would have suspected that he had ulterior thoughts.But Amelia wasn't being delusional either. Those words indeed had quite a suggestive tone to them."Same old, I guess." Amelia didn't know how else to explain her relationship with Liam."I see that you're still wary of me. Are you worried that he might misunderstand?" There w

    When Liam returned to Riverbay Residence, it was already 9:00 pm.He went to meet someone after work and had retrieved the photos of Amelia's scandals from that man. So when he arrived home, he wasn't in a good mood. And his heart sank especially when he didn't see that familiar figure at home."Where are you?"Amelia wasn't surprised when she received a call from Liam."At a friend's house.""Come back!" Liam's voice was cold. He was giving her an order.He seemed to be quite mad. He even added, "Come back right now!"Amelia pursed her lips. Opposite her, Alex worriedly looked at her."I'm not going back." Her refusal was clear. Then, she hastily ended the call."Damn it!" In the villa, Liam angrily kicked the couch.He was furious that Amelia simply wouldn't listen to him. He wondered if Amelia was this bold because she thought that Eric would protect her.When he called again, the phone had just started ringing when Amelia rejected the call. Later on, she had even turne

    Alex looked like she had just made a discovery and had suddenly raised her voice when she asked that. Amelia's face turned a little red. "Stop saying nonsense!""I'm not saying nonsense. But don't forget, you still haven't filed for a divorce. Don't let Liam blackmail you!" Alex reminded Amelia with a serious look on her face.Amelia nodded earnestly. "I know. I know what I should and shouldn't do."The pair of best friends chatted for a long while. They still felt like they hadn't chatted enough when they were about to go to bed."Tell me more about that Richards guy tomorrow!" Alex said.Amelia had an exasperated look on her face. "You're so interested, but when I suggested that we meet him together, you refused!"Alex waved her hands. "You see him as a friend, so of course, I have to learn more about him. You'll cry if he turns out to be another Liam."Amelia was curious about Hannah, but she never had a chance to learn more about her.To Amelia's surprise, Hannah took the

    Amelia looked at Hannah, but before she could say anything, Brandon reprimanded her."Don't think that you can do whatever you please just because you're involved with Liam! Don't forget, Liam didn't help you when you pushed Hannie the last time!"Amelia chuckled. Originally, she did feel a little guilty. It didn't matter if her force was big enough that it caused Hannah to fall. It was indeed true that she had shaken Hannah off in the first place.But now, thanks to Brandon's words, all the guilt in her heart was gone."Is that so? Then you should ask Liam if he held me accountable for what happened last time," Amelia replied.Brandon subconsciously looked at Hannah. As expected, the tears that were pooling in her eyes immediately poured out."It's okay, Brandon. It's my fault for being useless. It has nothing to do with Amelia!" Hannah bowed her head. Her tears splashed onto the ground and formed a flower-like pattern.Amelia crouched down so that she was at eye-level with H

    "Do you know the owner of the restaurant?" In the private room, Eric asked Amelia.Amelia didn't hide it from him. "Liam knows her. I've met her a few times."Eric raised an eyebrow. Then, he put on an apologetic look. "Sorry, I was thinking that the food here was great, so maybe you'd like it. I didn't expect that … Will Liam trouble you if he hears of it?"If Liam knew about it, he would misunderstand her. But of course, Amelia wouldn't say that with Eric around."It's okay. Oh, right, you said that you have something to tell me about work. What is it?" Amelia asked."Well, even though this incident was resolved, I'm thinking of a permanent solution. I'm wondering if you're interested in becoming a manager." Eric knew that Amelia had changed the topic on purpose, so he didn't mention Liam again.Amelia was surprised. "A manager? Mr. Richards, you must be kidding. I can't be a manager.""You can if you're willing to. You're capable enough." Eric smiled.He continued, "I saw yo

    Eric also spotted the man. His gaze momentarily flashed as he approached Amelia and said, "Don't be afraid."This statement reassured Amelia. She smiled faintly at him and said, "Thank you. I'm not afraid of him.Then, she continued to walk ahead. She showed no intention of acknowledging Liam's presence. She had come to understand that fear would not resolve the situation.Since Liam had come across her and Eric having a meal together, she decided not to evade the issue.Instead, Amelia allowed him to speculate openly.Lily hadn't informed Liam that Amelia and Eric would be dining here.Liam was here because Hannah once mentioned that she hadn't had a meal with him yet since she returned.Furthermore, the incident at the driving school, where Hannah fell and cried due to Amelia's involvement, left him feeling a bit guilty despite Hannah insisting it was her own fault.Even after witnessing everything, he didn't want to blame Amelia.Hence, Liam felt he should make amends t

There were no particular thoughts in her mind. She merely gazed at him with detachment.Liam furrowed his brows, intending to question her. But when he saw Amelia's teary red eyes, the words got stuck in his throat.Was Amelia crying because she had overheard him earlier?For inexplicable reasons, Liam's heart sank and he felt a sudden urge to explain things to her.However, the man standing beside her was far too conspicuous."Since when did Mr. Richards develop a fondness for eavesdropping?" Liam sarcastically remarked. As he spoke, he pulled Amelia closer to his side.When they had bumped into each other at the door earlier, Amelia hadn't paid him any attention. Liam didn't question her about anything either. But he didn't expect Amelia to be so insensible. Even after getting caught red-handed, she con

    "What do you think I'm going to do?" Liam bent over and trapped Amelia between the bed and his arms. Liam gazed as her eyes swirled and he suddenly felt like being a little mischievous."Anyway, we've been married for so long, but nothing significant has happened yet." His words were laced with innuendos. It made Amelia's scalp tingle.Indeed, nothing significant had happened.The last time something was about to happen, Liam received a phone call and had left.As she thought of this, Amelia suppressed her fear and put on an indifferent facade.She said, "If you really want to do something to me, I really don't mind. It's just that I'm afraid your little lover will end up in tears again. Or perhaps, she might've already guessed what you're intending to do to me, and just when you're about to take a step, she'll call you."Liam's face darkened. It was obvious he was also recalling the event from before.He slowly sat up and said nonchalantly, "You're being so casual about it; o

    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?
