It must be acknowledged that Hannah was indeed raised in a pampered environment.

After being provoked by Amelia, she left immediately.

Observing her hasty departure, she was undoubtedly going to look for Liam.

Amelia left the private room with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Eric was about to return to his private room after having a cigarette. Just then, he saw a familiar figure.

"Amelia?" he asked.

The person turned around and smiled after seeing him.

"It's really you. I thought I might've been mistaken," Eric said.

"What's wrong? Do you also think I have no right to be here?" Amelia retorted with a smile.

Eric knew it was a jest, but he could discern something deeper.

"Who said anything about you?" Eric furrowed his brows.

He thought she must have come here with Liam, but Liam wasn't foolish enough to make such a comment.

"Someone did, but I didn't pay it any mind." Amelia shrugged nonchalantly.

"Have you eaten? Our meeting was quite serendipitous, so surely you won't

    Hannah's inquiry cast a shadow upon Liam's countenance."Liam, do you truly have feelings for her?" Hannah asked. She wore an expression of distress as she stepped forward and clung to Liam's waist. She then buried her face in his embrace."Hannie, we're in the office. Someone might walk in at any moment. Please let go," Liam said with a tinge of helplessness.In his arms, Hannah shook her head and said, "I won't let go. I let you go three years ago, and that's why we drifted apart. Now that I've returned, I won't let go again.""Be good now," Liam said with a soothing tone.Hannah hesitated to release her grip, but she ultimately complied with his request. She knew when she could be willful and when she had to obey."Did that woman tell you about it? She went to see you?" Liam asked. His satisfaction was evident. In the end, Amelia couldn't bear to leave him. Otherwise, why would she have gone to see Hannah? Hannah bit her lip and didn't answer his question.Instead, she

    Several days passed without Amelia's return. Liam hadn't been closely following her activities either.When he eventually found out, Amelia's name had already sparked discussion within the entertainment industry."Mr. Prescott, about the script you mentioned last time, I heard the director and the investors are willing to cast a female lead from Astra," Gio nervously reported the latest developments.Since Liam expressed his interest in expanding into the entertainment industry, it seemed that he had engaged in a direct competition with Astra.Whenever Astra showed interest in a promising script, he would make a move to interfere. In the process, the Prescott Group had snatched two major productions from Astra.Although the current script mentioned was not a big-budget production, it had a renowned director. This managed to pique Liam's interest."Do I have to teach you how to handle this? Can't you figure it out yourselves?" Liam asked as he tossed aside the documents. He then n

    Huddled in Alex's house, Amelia was undergoing intense questioning from her."I wasn't even sure if I would succeed myself, so I didn't tell you.

Alex asked.Amelia shook her head. After the news spread, she promptly turned off her phone."You!" Alex shook her head in disbelief. "See, you didn't discuss this with him in advance. He's definitely furious, and he might even come storming in. And don't forget about your mother-in-law; she must have a lot to say.""I know." Amelia looked disheartened.She had considered all these things when making her decision, but she had no other choice."Stepping into the entertainment industry is the quickest way I can think of to make money," Amelia said.As they were discussing, there was a knock on the door.

    "She's Madam Amelia from the Prescott family; there's no need for her to hustle outside. It's not like I don't give her money. If she's feeling bored, I can arrange for someone to provide lessons for her at home. It's time she learns how to manage her own finances as well. All wealthy ladies have their own funds, and she's no exception." Liam snorted coldly.Upon hearing this, Alex was somewhat bewildered. She hastily turned to look at Amelia.Amelia shook her head, appearing to be perplexed as well. She had no idea about the fund Liam had mentioned."Have you ever asked me? Have you ever sought my help when you needed it? You'd rather turn to outsiders instead of talking to me!" Liam exclaimed.He wore an accusing look as he continued, "I've been managing your funds for you. But have I taken from it? I've given you a card; all the earnings are in there."Amelia hurriedly retrieved a card from her bag. "Are you referring to this?" she asked.Liam glanced at the card and placed

He's not an unreasonable person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered talking to you for so long.""I want to earn money," Amelia said with determination.Liam looked at her in surprise. "I've given you money." Then, his expression darkened as he pulled out the card he had taken and placed it on the coffee table. "I've given you money. Why aren't you using it?""That's your money. I don't want it.""Why don't you want my money?" Liam furrowed his eyebrows and stared at her stubborn face. He couldn't fathom what Amelia truly desired.She was his wife, wouldn't us

    Amelia could still hear the sound of things being smashed downstairs as she returned to her room. The loud noise made Amelia's heart tremble uncontrollably. It wasn't that Amelia wasn't scared. However, when fear and disappointment reached a certain limit, she would have to vent her emotions at some point. And the consequence of this was that she felt an even stronger impulse to defy Liam.Divorce! How dare she mention that word again? And in such a casual, nonchalant manner! How could she say it so quickly?  Was their three years of marriage so insignificant to her? It was all because of Eric. Amelia would never have acted that way if it weren't for him. The anger in Liam's heart was boiling, making him lose control. He didn’t even know why he was so angry. Amelia woke up after a long nap.It was already 11 pm at night. Amelia rubbed her head. She had slept for so long that her head was starting to ache. Right at that moment, her stomach also growled.Ju

    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!"
